Jones-were the fourth and elev-
enth of his opening round.
Standing on the tee of the fourth
hole he had three holes behind him
and they had been executed in par
figures. Before him was probably
the most wicked hole of the Augusta
National course--a dog leg of nearly
500 yards. with a fairway narrow as
a banana and a green protected by
traps i'm the rear and by a creek
in front. Both he and Paul Runyan,
his partner, slapped drives down the

Action, speedy action and in big,
generous quantities, is promised
fight fans at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club tonight when Gene
Espinosa and Baby Palmore are
turned loose for their six round
main event, backed up by a support

action.
Espinosa and Palmore have been
acclaimed as two of the outstand-

it remains to be seen if the judg-

Palmore has a knockout over

PENNSY TO RUN
R.R. AT MILTON
Old Queen Annes Road, Love
Point to Glendale and Mil
ton to Operate
TRANSFER COMPLETED

Shippers in the vicinity of Mil
ton were advised early last week
by preventative of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, who
spent some time there, that defin-
lite arrangements have been made
by the railroad company to take
over the old Queen Anne's Rail-
road which starts at Love Point
and runs through Glendale and
Milton. A petition has already
been filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission for the aban-
Comment of the railroad. This
roadway, which was built years
ago, operated for a time from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland thru
Milton and Glendale to Lewes and
intended, it was said, to con-
meet with proposed ferry as a
short and direct line between Bal
timore and the New Jersey Coast
resorts, including Atlantic City.
The road ran for time during the
prosperous days before the depres-
sion but was later abandoned.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials
1t is said, have advised Milton and
Glendale business men they would
be given the same service as they
had previous to 1925, except that
all less than carload shipments
would be overnight service by
truck. There is no set time for
taking over this old road but it
will probably be operated shortly.
The officials requested local bust
ness men to give the road their
freight business.

WEATHER HALTS TRAPPING
Few Muskrats Are Being Caught
Because of the Ice and Snow

The weather during the past
three weeks has slowed up the
muskrat trapping industry along
the Delaware River and Bay
and some of the marshes
seem to produce a larger percent
age of black hides than other
marshes. A few marshes only
produce about 20 black hides in
each hundred of muskrats trapped.
Other marshes run down as low as
10 per hundred. The price, how
ever, has continued to advance for
all kinds of rat" pelts which COM
pensates somewhat for the de-
crease in the catches" Good
black hides have sold as high as
81 80 each and some trappers have
received as high as S1.40 for all
their hides, including the brown
and the black hides. Brown hides
are more numerous. The trapping
season will end on March 20 on
marshes and March 10
on tidewater marshes. Most OF
the trapping is done on embarked
marshes.

CRASH, SMYRNA
MIR. and Mrs. w. L. Watson,
fredericksburg, Md, Formerly
of Smyrna, Are Injured
ARE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

Mr.. and Mrs. William T. Watson
of fredericksburg, Md, formerly of
Smyrna, narrowly escaped death
Saturday afternoon when their
new Plymouth automobile collided
head-on, with an empty school bus
driven by Paul Coudright of wy
oming, on the Boulevard below
Smyrna, resulting in injuries to
Mr.. and Mrs. Watson and the bus
driver. The bus driver was ac-
companied by Ray Cooper also of
Wyoming. The injured were TAX
en- in the Smyrna Legion Ambul-
ance to the Kent General Hospital
at Dover where they are recover
ing. The damaged cars were tow
ed to the Tip-Top Garage. 1t ap-
pears the bus driver going north,
pulled out to pass a car and into
the lane of the Watsons going
south. Unable to get back in line
the bus driver drove head-on into
Mr.. Watson's car. Both machines
were badly damaged. Mrs. Wat
son sustained a broken wrist, a
broken nose and severe decorations
on the face besides suffering great
shock Mr.. Watson, aside from
the shock, had several ribs broken.
It is fortunate the school bus was
not occupied with a crowd of
school children or the accident
would have been more appalling.
When it was learned in Smyrna
that the Watsons were the same
family who resided in Smyrna a
number of years ago there was
elected more local interest. Mr..
and Mrs. Watson and their lovely
family of children lived in the Miss
Sarah D. Pratt residence on West
Commerce Street. Mr.. Watson was
employed to look after the chain of
Peninsula factories run by Topkis
Brothers Company, nainsook I'M
derwear manufacturers, a branch
of which, operated by Charles p.
is in Smyrna Mr.. Wat
son was only in Smyrna few
years when he was transferred to
fredericksburg, Md, where he has
resided ever since. Latest reports
are that the WatsonS are recover
ing from their injuries as satisfac-
torily as possible. Their new car
was damaged beyond repair.
