MILE DRIVE

Route In "0Id Maryland"
Passes Through Unique
(! Type of Country

The 68-mile drive to Solomons
island offers Capital motorists
about the nearest thing to a trip
abroad there is in the vicinity o!
washington. It is easily one OF
the most interesting Sunday or
weekend drives in this sectlon.
The reason is because the SET
Element on the point between
the Patuxent River and CheSa'
neake Bay is so different.
This applies not only to SOLO
mons Island, but also to every
township en- route. The entire
area to the south Of washington
is really "Old Maryland" despite
the fact that good roads have
changed it's physical character.
And the roads are good: The
stretch between Bristol-near
Upper Marlboro-and Sunderland
Is one Of the most beautiful
pieces of road in the State. Rid.
ing over it is to find new thrill
in motoring. It is just tnat
good. But there are excellent
roads for the entire trip.
Route Listed
Leaving washington, the motor
ist travels east on Pennsylvania
Avenue, up over the hill that
offers a sweeping view of the Cap
ital, particularly impressive at
night, and via Maryland State
Highway No. 4 to Upper MARI
boro. The same route number IS
followed to the junction point OF
that artery of travel and State
route No. 416, which is the new
stretch southwark to Sunderland.
From Sunderland State route No.
2 is followed all the way to Solo,
mons Island.
The distance, if you are inter
ested, is SO miles. Washington
to Marlboro, by way Of Forrest
vile, Meadows and Upper MARI
boro is 10 miles. From Marlboro
to Sunderland is II miles. Sun
derland to Prince Frederick, the
county seat, is IL miles and from
Prince Frederick to Solomon's IS
land is 81 miles.
At Upper Marlboro is seen the
"Old Marlboro House." about ESQ
years old. Prince Frederick, a
well-named township because OF
its old-time flavor is another in
teresting point, and at Port Re
public is found Christ Church"
built of bricks imported from
England in 1892.
Castle Built in 1899
Another impressive point is
''Middleham Castle"-about six
miles from Solomons-built in
1899, and one of the original par
ish churches of Maryland. The
bell in this church is the third
Oldest on the Atlantic seaboard
and was the gift of a British
nobleman.
But Solomon's Island, long a
favorite fishing spot-in fact it
is considered one Of the best fish
ing grounds in the East-is the
real objective. The harbor is one
of the deepest natural harbors in
the world, reaching a depth of
1876 feet, and is one Of the i'm
portant centers in the small yacht
and bodybuilding industry. The
Dewey floating drydock was built
and tested here because there
was no other harbor in the East
large enough for it's construction.
There are at the present time

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

The ability of the Los Angeles
Angels to come from behind and
defeat their Pacific coast league
opponents started the 1888 cham
pions off on another successful
week today.
The Angels were a run behind
when they entered the ninth inn
ing of their contest with the San
Francisco Seals yesterday. In less
than no time, so it seemed, the
league leaders filled the bases, an
infield error let in a run, and an
infield roller scored another. In
their half of the final frame the
Seals had double and two singles
but could not produce the tying
run, so the game ended in an An
gel victory by sd score.
1t was the twelfth win of the
campaign for Fay Thomas, Los An
geles right -hander. His pitching
opponent was Leroy Hermann, San
Francisco's ace.
In the only other game played
yesterday in the circuit, Seattle
defeated Portland, 7-3, by a ninth
inning rally that scored four runs
Mike Hunts homer helped the
Seattle cause. Craghead was the
winning pitcher and Bryan the los
er.

half game behind the leaders, with
Chicago now in third place.
Messrs. OFT, Critz and Jackson of
the Giants amassed three home
runs against the Braves, and New
York won, 13 to 4.
The Brooklyn Dodgers arrived in
Philadelphia and showed the Phil
lies how they do it. In the first game
Brooklyn spotted itself seven-run
lead and blew it, losing in the ninth
when Bud Clancy homered. To drive
the lesson home, the Dodgers ran
up 4 to O advantage in the night
cap which lasted until the eighth
inning, when they permitted the
Phils to fill the bases. Ethan Allen
then obliged with homer which
scored three ahead of him, Jeffries
having come home earlier in the
inning.
