AT Fl. WORTH
Talbot Halls Incident AS
Indication of Revived

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer

A double victory by the Houston
Bluffs over the Fort Worth Cats
and the effect thereof on several
hundred feline fans, who seemed
to think Umpire Ballanfant respon-
sible and tried to take him apart,
lent a touch OF paprika to yester-
days Texas league warfare.

fistic career with q victory.
Sharkcy Misses
The ex-Sailor fumbled his two pre-
vious chances, In 1927 and 1928, to
battle his way to the championship
spotlight. Temperamental and I'm
certain though he has been, the
majority of experts picked Sharkey
to win. The gamblers backed him
at odds pruned from 2 to ! down to
z to 5.
Boxing skill and experience we're
on Sharkey'S side, with q vicious
punch to support them. Courage,
ambition and an equally dangerous
/ wallop we're the main assets of
Schmeling. Both possessed the
stamina for a hard fight, il neces-
sary, to the limit Of Is rounds, with
a referee and two judges to cast
the final verdict.
The Shar. : of four or five years
ago. when he was scrapping cour-
ageously for heavyweight recogni-
ton against any and gil foemen,
would have gone into the big test
an even bigger favorite than he has
been. Sharkey fought then for his
living-"for i'm and 'er and 1t" as
Kipling phraSed the situation. Today
Sharkey was spurTed on by ambi-
ton TO reach the goal previously
denied him, but with wealth and
even social position already in his
/ possession, II seemed that some Of
the old vital urge was missing.
Youth and its compelling forces
were on Schmeling's side this tine.
In the reversal Of the situation, in
the do-or-bust spirit of the under
! dog, many Of the experts forsaw the
Germans best chance Of triumph.
Max Given Chance
They enyisioned Max in the same
position as Dempsey at Toledo, as
Tunney at Philadelphia, fighting
against odds but also with an ex-
cellent fight chance.
Moreover, Schmeling represents
the new Germans. He Is the first
Teuton 10 challenge for the heavy
weight championship and typical Of
the youthful generation that has
figured in Germany's athletic come
back, one of the most remarkable
in history. They have labelled him
the German Dempsey" largely up
on his physical resemblance. But
he needed the old Manassa Mauler's
aggressive courage end punch to-

first suggested by George Washing
ton, who had been associated with
Braddock in the building of the Nat
ional, and who, as some writers have
said, became fearful that the building
of that road would divert trade from
his beloved Virginia, abandoned the
enterprise, returned to Virginia
and sought route from Winchester
to Wheeling located wholly in Vir-
ginia. How well he succeeded is
attested by the fact that at only one
point, in Garrett county, Maryland,
does the Northwestern Turnpike leave
the state of Virginia. Unquestionably.
this latter road was conceived by
Washington through patriotism for
his native state and was built as a
rival of the National Road.

much Of its early development and
present prosperity to the wisdom.

princes of trade who readily preceived
that fortune awaited those who first
secured the business of the great
Northwestern Territory and diverted
it to the east instead of allowing it
to seek other markets.

quarter after its conception is still a
great traffic artery, over which, not

ANTIQUESW WILL BE EXHIBIT
AT FIREMEN'S CONVENTION
1875 Fire Engine, Hose Reel To
Be Displayed at Terra Alta

Participating in the homecoming
and State convention of the West Vir-
ginia Volunteer Firemen at Terra
Alta today, tomorrow and Saturday,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
loaned some of it's old relics that have
been stored in the buildings at Hale
thorpe, the site of the "Fair of the
Iron Horse" of 1921 These exhibits
include: The Conestoga Wagon; coach
Of Charles Carroll of Carrollton; old
hose reel used at Cumberland 1855 to
1900; old LaFrance fire engine used
at Cumberland, 1875 to 1900; quarter
size model of the Tom Thumb; replica
of OK yoke made by Abraham Lincoln
in 1881.
The Conestoga wagon is an original
and was built at Middletown, Pa, In
1918. The coach of Charles Carroll OF
Carrollton was selected because that
distinguished signer of the Declare
ton of independence was one of the
founders and first directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio in 1927. The small
model of the Tom Thumb will no doubt
attract attention, as the original Tom
Thumb locomotive was the first built
in America, having been constructed
by Peter Cooper and ran between Bal
timore and Ellicott City in 1880.
Most of these relics of transporta-
ton of a bygone day will also be ex-
hibited during the Golden Jubilee OF

An Interesting Fact

There are two elements, among
many, that contribute to progress.
Patriotism and rivalry. These, de-
yeloped by the growing pains of
business expansion of our infant coun-
try, resulted in the construction Of
two great arteries of trade, which
after the lapse of more than century
are again being used for the purposes
for which they were originally in
intended. We refer to the National
Highway, now known as Route No.
40 and the Northwestern Turnpike,
known as Route No. so.
The National Highway, the earliest
and certainly the most famous high
way across the mountains, was pro-
I jected in 1903, at the admission OF
Ohio as a state, to be constructed by
the United States from fund aris-
ing from the proceeds of the sale of
United States lands located within the
boundaries of the new state. The
road was actually begun in 1911.
For many years the mails and pas
sengers were carried over the noun
tains, the latter by fast express, prob
/ ably with good reason called "shake-
: guts". These stage coaches were run
/ in relays. Starting at Baltimore the
first night was spent at Hagerstown,
/ the second at Cumberland, the third at
Uniontown, and the fourth at Wheel
ing. Equipped with horns, we can i'm

II Stage travel was frequently delayed
!. by reason of the numerous droves of
cattle, sheep and hogs, and from the
;iiOld-fashioned Conestoga wagons in
/; which most of the freight for the west
! was conveyed from Baltimore and
: Frederick to Wheeling.
The road was famous for the num-
!, Der and excellence of its inns, which,
on the mountain division, averaged
one for every mile. The uniform price
. charged for warm meals was twenty
five cents, with a drink Of whiskey
thrown in. At midday cold meal
was furnished for a 'levy"-twelve
and half cents-with the usual drink
of whiskey free.
