WORK ON MUNICIPAL GOLF
COURSE TO BEGIN MONDAY
Council Authorizes Purchase Of
Truck At Special Meeting

Work on the construction of the
municipal golf course is expected to
begin Monday, it was announced fol-
lowing special meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council on Monday even
ing.
The Council has authorized the pur-
chase of truck, to be used first in the
construction of the course, and later
for duty in the construction of the
proposed auxiliary reservoir, for re-
moval of snow from the streets of
Oakland in winter, and also for snow
pillow.
In the estimate for golf course con-
struction 1925 is set aside for haulage,
all of which would have to be furnished
by the town. 1t was pointed out by
Mayor Lawrence NJ. Fraley, that ..
truck could be purchased for this
amount, which would remain the
property of the town after the golf
course was completed. 1t was also
shown that over $1,000 was paid out
last year by the town for truck hire,
which would not be necessary, if the
town had a truck of it's own.
The purchase of the water pipe ne
cessary for the golf course was also
authorized at a special meeting on
Saturday night. The town has ordered
3,305 feet of pipe-5S0 feet of Pinch,
and 2,725 feet of 1-inch. The cost of
the pipe was $234.48. The WPA is
furnishing 1,420 feet of 2-inch pipe

1O1ST BIRTHDAY BEING
OBSERVED BY MIR. MARLEY
COunty's Oldest Resident Having
Quiet Anniversary Celebration

Garrett county's oldest resident,
George Marley, is celebrating the one
hundredth and first anniversary of his
birth at his home in Deer Park today,
Thursday, April l. A dinner will be
attended by about so relatives, among
them his sister, Mrs. Rebecca Cook,
of Cleveland, Ohio, who, until last Sep.
TENDER IS, hadn't seen her brother for
70 years. A number of Mr.. Marley's
friends are sending postal cards so
that they reach him today.
Mr.. Marley was born in Stockton,
England, in 1886, and came to this
country as the Civil War was breaking
out and enlisted in Co. C. Goth Regi-
ment, New York Infantry. He was
engaged in battles at Gettysburg, Ant
ietam, the Wilderness, and in less i'm
portant engagements. He was wounded
in battle at Cape Hatteras when a
spent shell struck his right leg and a
bullet pierced his left ear. He was
honorably discharged June %, 1855.
He settled in Deer Park in 1866. He
still remains comparatively active for
his years, and retains his faculties to
high degree. He is somewhat deaf.
He enjoys talking to friends, however,
and listening to the radio, for which
he has earphones.
Last September he became reunited
with his sister. They did no know Of
each others existence until three
months previous to that. A story Of
his hundredth birthday celebration ap-
peared in several papers. The story
was sent to England where relatives
saw it and correspondent with relatives
at Deer Park. Through them Mrs.
Cook was located at Cleveland. Mrs.
Cook came to visit him at Deer Park,
and has returned today for his birth
day celebration. Mrs. Cook believes he
is older than 101, according to Mrs.
George Comp, granddaughter, but a
search in England has failed to find a
birth certificate. The date of his bap-
tism, however, was discovered to be
April %, 1886. Mr.. Marley claims to
remember his baptism, and if such is
the case he must have been older than
five years at the time.
His children who will be present in
clude Mrs. Henry Wilhelm, Carey,
Ind; Mrs. D. R. limbaugh, Mrs. Rob-
ert Thrasher, and George Marley, Jr.,
of Deer Park. Mr.. Marley's wife died
Is years ago and he also has six chill
dren deceased.

STATE BUDGET Is FINALLY
PASSED BY LEGISLATURE
Allows Appropriations Of More
Than $71,OOO,OOO For Operation
Of Maryland Departments
is INCREASE OVER 1885

Maryland's legislature voted to al
low appropriations of more than ST.
100000 for operation of state depart
ments and institutions for the two
years beginning next October 1.
The budget adopted at the 1885 ses-
sion was for approximately $64,000,-
900.
Final action by the Senate ended
more than two months of budget study,
debate, wrangling, and trading.
The supplemental budget was con-
sidered the most feasible way to
straighten out Senate tangle which
would have jeopardized pay restora-
tions for teachers and employees
among other items.
The budget allows restoration of
salaries of all state employees to the
1888 level, when depression cuts were
made. In very few cases are allow
ances made for salaries above that
level.
The state roads commission was al
lowed $4,000 for the two years for
pay raises above the 1888 level. That
arrangement was not allowed for en-
ployes Of any other state department.
Senator J. Allan Coad, finance
chairman, explained that apparent dis
crepancy with the statement:
"The state roads commission told us
they mad number of people who have
been employed for number of years
and are becoming more and more pro-
ficient in their work. Some of their
best men are in that classification. The
salary cushion fund was allowed so
that raises could be given such persons
and keep them with the state when
other sources offer higher pay"
Others Make Similar Requests
Heads of other state departments
made similar requests, saying they
were losing their best men to other
interests. Their requests, however,
were not granted.
The roads commission also secured
inclusion Of another $4,000 item to
allow employment of urgently need
ed" help over and above that allowed
in the budget proper. That concession
was not allowed to Other departments.
Both those roads commission amend
ments went through during the clos
ing hours of the House consideration of
the budget and the Senate accepted
both of them.
The Senate vote on the finance bill
was 1872, with Senators o. Straughn
(R-Wicomico) and Joseph L. Donovan
O-Howard), voting in the negative.
There was no fight of any conse-
quence in the Senate. Senator Harry
T. Phoebus (R-Somerset) opposed
some of the House amendments but
voted for the bill finally. There was
no other opposition.
Now that the budget is out of the
way, the legislature will turn it's
thoughts toward the relief problem.
Present taxes which supply $3,600,000
yearly for relief, old age pensions,
aid to the needy blind, expire Wednes-
day.

Saves Holmes Trouble.

Mr.. SHERLOCK HOLMES. know
ing more about sixty-eight va
rieties OF cigar ashes than he does
about base ball, propably would have
a lot of trouble explaining all those
statements, so I will bat for him and
do the best I can:
l. About the Yankees. You chal-
lenge criticism and invite the assas-
sins bullet when you call any ball
club the greatest in history. Up till
now, I thought the Chicago White
Cor Black Sox of 1919 filled the de-
scription, with the Yankees of 1927.
the Cubs Of 1907-08 and the Athletics
Of 1901 running close behind. but
there is pretty good case to be made
for the Yankees of 1861.
They have balance, a great thing.
They yield to no modern club in speed,
skill and sureness afleld They are
fast and smart on the bases. They
have three first-rate pitchers and a
fine bullpen staff. AS for their power
at bat, you know about that-runs,
hits, home runs, extra bases, runs
batted in. They've smashed every
record of the rabbit-ball era.
But their chief assets are cohesion
and confidence. The Yanks of 1927
had power and pitching. So did the
great Cubs. The Athletics of 1919
had power and pitching plus defensive
skill and GOODNESS in a crisis. The
Black Sox had everything. The Yanks
of today have all the Black Sox had
and more, because their professional
skill is combined with what the boys
along Broadway call the old college
try. It's hard team to top.

CUBS READY TO USE
JURGES FOR TRADE
Ace Shortstop Dangled Before
Cards, Reds, According to
Owner Wrigley.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 12.-Reports
that Bill Jurges, ace shortstop,
will be used as trading material by the
Chicago Cubs this Winter gained
strength today as Phil K. Wrigley,
Cub owner, disclosed his hopes for
generally strengthening the team for
the 1888 campaign.
Il don't know whom Clarence Row.
land (Cub SCOUT has offered in his
deals" Wrigley said, "but Jurges
probably was mentioned by him in
discussions with st. Louis and Gin
cinnati.
I'VE are out to improve the entire
club. Just where the improvement
will be is problematical. / never
have believed in strengthening one
department and weakening another,
but you can be sure We will improve
our general strength"
Asked about the rumor the Cubs
plan to offer Pitcher Larry French
and Outfielders Frank Demaree and
Tuck Stainback to Brooklyn for
Pitcher Van Lngle Mungo, Wrigley
said: Wed like to get Mungo, for
he's a great pitcher; but the rumor
we'd offer French, Demaree and
Stainback probably comes from their
camp"
Wrigley said the Cubs "have been
getting big demands for everyone we
ask, but they'll come down later and
maybe there will be some deals"

Yanks Explode Theory.

> About the American League. The
~ work of the Yankees in the world
series makes a sucker out of the
theory that the National League has
tighter fielding and better pitching
than the American. That theory has
been wrong for 10 years. A fourth
place American League club can beat
a second-place National League club,
and so on down the line. Call it 25
per cent.
3. About Terry's system of base ball.
the run-at-a-t time, bunt-and-keep-th the
score-down system. Terry has proved
that this system is good enough to win
a pennant in the National League.
Bill McKechnie has worked wonders
with it in Boston. But why not have
defense and power both? What was
the last National League team to win
a&World Series? It was hitting team,
with ebullience, confidence and gam
bling spirit-the Cardinals.
4: Next to Hubbell, Lefty Gomez is
now the best pitcher in base ball. But
Lefty is young and strong, while Hub
Is sliding gradually downhill Barring
sore arm and rush of salary to- the
head. Lefty should dominate all pitch
ers for the next five years. Only Van
Mungo can touch him for natural abjl-
ity, plus nerve, and Mungo has to be
handled with gloves.

Combat Sitter Hitting,
ABOUT American League pit

+ ABOUT American League pitch
- ing and fielding. This simply is
q ,corollary Don't put too much faith
In the records. American League de-
tenders have to cope with sitter hit
ting, and they do almost as we'll with
1t as the National Leaguers did with
that run-at-a-time stuff.
~ 6, About Joe Di Maggie. You have
only to watch this fellow go through
the motions in any ball game to know
that he is the best ball player on the
field. He hasn't the bulldog determi-
hation of Gehrig or Medwick, but he
doesn't need it. He does things by
instinct that they have to fight to do.
Terry, after the series, said: THE
best natural swinger since Ruth, and
. much better fielder and runner"
Z. About Joe Mccarthy. Joe's con-
tract expires this year. The chances
are that his boss, Col. Rupert, as .
matter of local pride. will jack his
salary above that of Terry, now the
highest paid manager in the business
Mccarthy may get three-year con-
TRACT at $45,000 per annum.
And that is the best can do for
Mr.. Sherlock Holmes and his deduc-
tions. I wish it we're as easy as Mr..
Justice Black seems to think it is,
to say: Il now consider the incident

pitchers in this years Glass AA base

Roy Joiner, Birmingham southpaw,
went to Jersey City of the 1nterna-
tional League. Indianapolis also had
bid for Joiner, but Jersey City won in
the draw for the former Chicago Cub
hurler, who this year won 18 and

Baltimore entered and won a draft

drafted from a Glass Al entry. Bal
timore won In the draw.
Likewise, Montreal was successful
in getting Deland Wetherell, Mem
phis pitcher, who won 19 and lost 8.
Jersey City had claimed Outfielder Joe
Grace from Memphis. but the Cana

In closing it must be stated that

Blow 10 National League.

DsOW ~ @N0esVhAA A<OS8 oCs
A NY comparison OF Yankee and
Giant pitchers must give an edge
to the American League team, and it
follows that any comparison now be-
tween the pitching of the two leagues
must reflect on the National Leagues
selling point. The chances are that
hurlers like Johnny Allen and Mel
Harder Of the Indians, Tommy Bridges
Of the Tigers, Bob Grove of the Red
Sox and Wes Ferrell of the Senators
could have stepped into the series and
won over the Giants. And, in the wake
Of what happened to Dean, Hubbell
and Mungo in the all-star game in
Washington, the same cannot be said
with definite assurance for the Ma
tional Leagues best pitchers.
The series was 4 bitter blow
to the older league, which al
ready had been rocked by = sue
cession Of setbacks in competi-
ton with the American Leasue.
When the final out was registered
at the Polo Grounds on Sunday the
Yanks gleefully scampered to the
dressing rooms, which are located be-

more slowly. AS they neared the
bleachers q cruelty astounding thing
happened. Somebody booed. It was

ume. The bleacherite who worshipped
