PLoYEs PUBLICATION

OF interest to Key Westers is .
story in The Annuitant. Washing
ton, d. G., official organ of the
National Association of Retired
Federal Employees, and which is
reproduced here. Mr.. William H..
Maloney is an uncle of William
F. Maloney, county tax collector
of this city. and brother of the
late Francis r. Maloney. He has
been a constant subscriber to The
Citizen.
"A unquie case. Comparative
ly few men reach their ninety-sec-
ond year, as will William H. Ma
loney, if he survives for little
more than month longer, having
been born in Key West, Florida,
November %, 1910. Today he is
hale and hearty for his years and
gives every indication of being
with us for some time to come.
"Mr. Maloney is a retired Fed
eral printer, his service being a
notable one, since his work in pub
lie printing began as an appren-
tice with Cornelius Wendell, who
at that time held the government
contract, and continued in the pub
lie service until 1867, subsequent
to which he worked on several
Washington, d. c., newspapers,
pattic alariy the Evening Star.
when the typesetting machines
largely supplanted hand compost
ton in newspaper offices, Mr.. Ma
lohey found the glare of the ma
chime metal injurious to his eyes,
and returned to the Government
Printing Office in 1897, being re-
tired in 1920, with the first group
Of Federal employees under the
then new Civil Service Retirement
Act.
"Mr. Maloney is certainly one
of the oldest living union printers,
having joined the Columbia Typo
graphical Society August 3, 1861,
and has maintained continuous
membership to date. II years.
I'm 1868, he became the second
president Of Columbia Typograph-
zeal Union, successor to the former
organization, and had as his vice.
president John G. Judd, who later
became a founder of the we'll
known firm of Judd & Detwfler,
Washington printers.
1.-The remarkable part of the
Maloney case, however, is this: On
July L, last, son of the senior
Maloney, w. w, Maloney, Jr., was
placed on the retired list when in
his second retirement extension.
and strange to say his long years
of service had been with the Gov
eminent Printing Office, which
establishment he entered when six
teen years of age. as an appren-
tice bookbinder. leaving there in
1882 as a grandfather.
''In the Government Printing
Office, the junior Maloney de-
veloped into AN unusually skilled
workman, and on this account was
for many years detailed to the
State Department Library, restor-
ing priceless manuscripts and re-
pairing valuable documents, and it
was in this connection that he as
sisted few years ago in restor-
ing the original Declaration of In
dependence, now on exhibition in
the Congressional Library.
Upon another occasion. togeth-
err with Mr.. Waldy, and by direc-
ton of the Public Printer. he re-
paired valuable Revolutionary
War flag presented to General
Washington at Valley Forge.
There may be other cases sim
liar to this in the retired civil
service, but surely none quite SO
unique"

Topham had a kid brother
named Ray who was previously
in one of the very low-class
leagues and who had made a
connection with Dover, Del,
in 1906. The latter club
seemed to be in the market
for an exhibition game for
some occasion or another, and
the younger Topham wrote the
elder Tophaln asking him to
Scrape together a team around
Germantown and come down

Big Brother Howard looked
around the neighborhood for
the most likely boys to take

minor leaguers a licking, and
among those he corralled was
young Joe Mccarthy who was
growing to be quite strapping

job and that, for his ma"
Joe was placed on third base
in Topham's make-shift team
which played Dover that day,

And was ma" Mccarthy be-
ginning to think it was high

was stirring himself out of her

Well, Mccarthy joined Dover,
all right and finished out the
year and the next season, 1907,
saw the entire Dover club
functioning under the banner
of Wilmington, of the Tri-State
League, Mccarthy and Buck
Herzog alternating at third base.
In midseason, Franklin, Pa, of
the Interstate League, wanted
to buy a third baseman, and
Manager Stumppy Bill Waller
sold Mccarthy to Franklin,
keeping Herog because he was
older and more experienced.
From Franklin by easy stages

to Buffalo and Louisville, and
perhaps one or two other way
stations in between.

|PIan Race 'Twixt
Twenty Grand
and Equipoise

NEW YORK, Sept. THAT
long awaited tussle between
Twenty Grand and Equipoise may
not be long in coming to thrill
the hearts of turfmen, if plans
for a special race at Belmont Park
already under way reach a con-
crete conclusion.
It will be a race to be talked
about in years to Come-for who
does not know that it was Twenty
Grand, who broke the track rec
ord in winning the Kentucky
Derby last year. and that Equi-
poiSe is the holder of the worlds
record for the circular mile run?
1t is planned to hold the event
on September II, futurity day,
and one mile has been set as the
distance.
Another Contender
However, there is like to be an
other contender, who if he is in
cluded, may be relied upon to
give both champions a stiff
argument.
Sammy Smith, who believes his
MORTAR can whip any morse in
the country at a mile, has
injected the name of this son of
Norwich into the proposed fray.
However, weights will have to be
adjusted on the weight-for-age
scale, for MORTAR is a 3-year-old
and both Twenty Grand and
Equipoise have seen four sum-
mers.
Anticipation of the event is al
ready causing horsemen and fans
to bristle with excitement. 1t will
mark the first time Twenty
Grand and Equipoise will meet
since both started in the Freak
ness early in 1881.
Finished Fourth
1t was in that race that Equi-
poise finished fourth on three
legs and Twenty Grand wound up
second to Mate. However, due to
the physical misfortune sustained
by Equipoise then, it could not be
constituted that Twenty Grand
is the superior.
Both horses are now in prime
condition and ripe for a show
down and unless MORTAR upsetS
the pot of gravy, either Twenty
Grand or Equipoise will emerge
as the champion of champions.

YOUTHFUL POLO
TEAM SCORES

WESTBURY, N. Y, Sept. 7.
The national open polo champion
ship, which has been full of up
sets since it began last week,
continued to play true to form
yesterday when the young Tenn
pleton team completely annihi-
lated Capt. Pat Roark and his
Aurora four by a 13-to-6 score.
Aurora, favored before the
game, collapsed completely under
the amazing brilliance of young
Mike Phipps, the accurate hitting
of Stewart Iglehart and superb
steadiness of the Guest brothers,
Winston and Raymond.
Before the championship
opened Templeton's youthful team
wasn't conceded much of a
chance against Sands Point, with
Hitchcock and Pedley, Eastcott
with Earl Hopping and his son,
and Aurora with Roark, En-
glands greatest player, leading
the attack.
The youngsters, however, sur
prised everyone yesterday with
the steadineSs as we'll as the bril-
liancy of their play. The issue
was never in doubt after that
smashing first chukker when
Templeton scored four goals. At
half time the score was 10 to 2
but even then Templeton refused
to rest on it's laurels.
Today Eastcott will play Green
tree and the winner will meet
Templeton on Saturday in the
final.
