ing at the military reservation,
The city boys have taken on deep
coats of tan and their muscles
are bulging. Life in the outdoors
has done them world of good,
their officers say. Mountains
form a ring around the place.
From Pen-Mar can be seen one
of the most superb views in the
East. High up on this mountain
is located an amusement park,
hotels, boarding houses, camp
sites, picnic grounds and stables
from which saddle horses may be
hired. Trails lead in all direc-
tions over the mountains.
Continuing through Pen-Mar,
the motorist follows paved road
for about a mile and then starts
over a dirt road for High Rock.
At the latter place a tower has
been built from which can be
seen an area almost as large as
Rhode Island.
The fields look like the squares
in checkerboard. Houses like
doll houses and large streams ike
small brooks. On very clear days
the Potomac River can be seen
winding its way to Harpers Ferry,
where it is joined by the Shenan-
doah.
The altitude at High Rock Is
approximately 1000 feet. Higher
up the mountain is the forest
warden's tower at Mt. Quirauk,
$500 feet above sea level. A trail
leads to the latter place. There
are innumerable picnic groves
throughout the High Rock Park.
Returning to Pen-Mar, the
route leads to WayneSboro, five
miles west. AS the automobile
crosses the Western Maryland
railway tracks, fine view of the
valley below is to be had. The
road winds steeply down the
mountain to Rouzerville, joining
Route 16 for a short run into
Waynesboro.
WayneSbOrO Is "Hub"
Waynesboro is described as be-
ing "in the midst Of things" rec
reational, historical, scenic, in
dustrial and agricultural. 1t is the
hub of many important highways
and is the trading center of the
Pennsylvania Blue Ridge.
Despite it's many factories, it is
a clean residential town and it's
beautiful homes with well-kept
lawns are a big feature of the
place. Lee and his army passed
through there on the way to
Gettysburg and they retreated
through there after the battle.

WayneSboro is MercerSburg,
reached by continuing on Route
16. At 3 o'clock, standard time,
on Sunday afternoons Bryan
Barker, carillonneur at the Mer-
cersburg Clavier, gives a re-
cital.
People drive hundreds of miles
to hear the young Englishman
in these recitalS. They are
played on the 43 bells, made at
Croydon, England, by Gillett and
Johnston, and installed at Mer-
cersburg in 1926. They are a
memorial to the late Roland
Davis Swoope and to the Swoope
family.
The road between Waynesboro
and MercerSburg is through
pretty, rollong farm country.
Throughout southern Pennsyl-
vania practically every barn is
painted red and this stretch of
country Is no exception to the
rule.
Leaving Mercersburg, the trip
is resumed, returning to Waynes-
boro and turning right in that
city onto Pennsylvania Route 316
along the western slopes of the
South Mountain range.
Route In Valley
The road winds through beau
tiful and fertile farming coun-
try. The towns of Ringgold,
Smithsburg and Cavetown nestle
in the foothills. Some stretches
of the road are of concrete and
others of macadam and gravel,
all smooth and make for fine,
comfortable driving.
These 20 miles along the val
ley are the most quiet and rest
full of the whole trip, being 20
miles of almost traffic-free driv-
ing. The fine paved road is
apparently little known to out
siders. After passing through

Beer Gardens Built Over River
Due to Be Opened Today,
Promise Popularity

COLONIAL BEACH, Va, June
17.-Many Washingtonians, glad
to escape the city's sweltering
weather, found rest and recrea-
ton here over the past weekend.
Local hotel registers indicated
that weekend guests were here
from half a dozen States.
In fact, this popular Potomac
River resort had the largest
crowd so far this season, and in
dications at this time are that
there will be an increase this
week.
Trout to Bite Soon
Perch have been caught here
in large quantities for several
weeks and now large croakerS are
being landed. In about two
weeks trout will be biting, as will
rock and bluefish.
A new feature which promises
to be very popular are the beer
gardens being erected here in
which 80 beer will be sold. One
of these pavilions was scheduled
to open today.
The beer gardens have been
erected opposite the cement prom
enade and out into the Potomac,
where not only a magnificent view
of the river may be had, but GUS
toners will also have the advan-
tage of cool breezes off the river
while eating seafood and enjoying
their favorite brand of 80 beer.
FISHING POPULAR
Particular attention is being
given this season to fishing parties
and quite a fleet of large boats in
the hands of experienced and ca
pable watermen are at the service
of those who love this sport.
Among the captains engaged in
this work is Captain Jordan, who
has been a fishing guide for SO
years. His equipment consists of
a 5O-foot, semi-houseboat, built
especially for fishing, and several
smaller craft, each with power.
Captain Jordan runs fishing
parties in Miami, Fla, each win
ter and is well-known to many
Washington SportSmen.

To be with that gang again.

Outstanding wrestling princi-

again are being brought together
tonight. At the washington
Auditorium these highly rated
wrestlers are to mix it up In the
main event of Joe Turner's weekly
five-star card.
Triumphant via disqualification
in their last meeting here, Steele
nevertheless was far from salts
fled with that performance. De-
claring he will be out to de-
cisively defeat big George in
tonight'S rematch, the brawny
Californian is primed for his very
best effort.
Although Steele is regarded as
the better wrestler, ZahariaS' abll-
ity to rough it up comedies him
better than an outside chance Of
upsetting Steele tonight. Scaling
23O pounds and powerful with it,
the big fellows pile-driving tactics
seldom fail to yield results against
all brands of opposition.

ACTION TAKEN
IN DOPING
PR D B T

NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-Racing
circles today buZzed with the
sensation caused when stewards
of the Jockey Club extended
their crusade to end doping" of
race horses to the stable of a
millionaire. They announced
that entries of Garden Message,
owned by George H. Bostwick,
wealthy sportsman and society
figure, would be refused pending
a final investigation.
The Jockey Club also will re-
fuse entries Of Sweeping Light,
owned by A. Kram, a horse re-
ported "sponged" before the fifth
race at Jamaica track on Mon
day.
Horse Stimulated
Garden Message, winner Of the
race, was stimulated, according
to the stewards, who based their
opinion on a report from DR.. r..
c. Richards, track veterinarian.
The ruling against Gard EN-
Message and Sweeping Light, the
first in the campaign here to
clean up the tracks, were in
terpreted as having no bearing
against Bostwick or Kram or
their trainers and was viewed
as a ban against the two horses
until the investigation has been
concluded.
To Continue Quiz
Stewards of the Jockey Club
said their investigation of "spong-
ing" and doping" would be con-
tinued and in some quarters a
sensational cleanup among own
ers, trainers and jockeys was
predicted.
j. P. Smith, trainer for BoSt-
wick, denied Garden Message had
been stimulated.

A Newspaper Guy

Billy Veeck was a Chicago
baseball writer who developed
into a great administrator of
baseball affairs. It seemed in
his case, as was true at the pass
ing of Christy Mathewson at
world series time some seasons
back, that the irony of fate took
him while the attention of the
baseball world was focused on
the sports greatest spectacle.
AS a baseball writer, Veeck
disagreed with the policies be-
ing pursued by the Chicago
Cubs, and he was rather peril
nent in the criticisms which
came from his agile pen.
One day he was talking with
the Cub ownership about the in
effective manner in which the
Cubs were being handled, the
owner finally becoming pro-
voked into saying to Young
Veeck:
"Well, if you know so much
about running q ball club, why
don't you come with us and run
our club"
He did.
Veeck made a good job Of it
and held the admiration of
every executive in organized
baseball. He was an admins
