A resolution authorizing the re-
quest for PWA grants upon a 55-45

ment of an additional teacher in the
Grantsville High school, and a teacher
of fine and applied arts to be located
in the northern section of the county.

he has taught in Anne Arundel coun-
ty. William A. Parlett taught vo-ag

year
Harland L. Jones and Cecil Smith
were appointed to audit the records
of the board.

Anna Louise Connolly, Oakland Ele-
mentary; and Mrs. Dorothy Edwards
Frame, Oakland High school, Alice

Mr.. Rathbun reported that princi-
pals of all schools had been requested
to make report upon the conditions
of school buildings and grounds with
recommendation for improvements.

Barn Near GAINESVILLE Burns

A barn belonging to Mrs. Anna Sis
Ter, a widow, was destroyed by fire
one day last week. The structure was
located on her farm in the Cranes
vile community and was a practically
new building, having been erected
about three years ago.
Two calves, one hog and most of her
farm machinery were in the barn at
the time. The fire occurred early in the
evening and it's origin was undeter-
mined. There was practically no in
surance.

HOSPITALITY is ENJOYED
BY CITY EXCURSIONISTS
Stories In Newspapers and Many
Letters Attest to Many
Good Times"

An insight into how the recent
camera excursion visitors looked upon
Garrett county and its citizens, is
given in the article published below,
which appeared in the Sunday Sun of
June II.
The article follows:
"Back-to-nature" excursions are no
longer unique to camera fans in the
big cities.
But quite uncommon is the type of
reception that citizens of Oakland,
Garrett county, gave to 250 snapshot
ers, mixers and bike riders who trav-
eled by special train from Baltimore
and Washington last Sunday to
"shoot" the scenic wonders of western
Maryland.
The picture takers found the ideal
settings for photographs matched by
the hospitality of the hosts who had
volunteered their cars and their
services for the day, including a
thirty-mile tour. Local residents
treated the city strangers like long
lost relatives-with two welcoming
bands at the station, printed pro-
grams, barn dance, and troupe of
military guides.
Thousands of Snapshots
Thousands of pictures were snapped
throughout the day, made to order for
human interest shots of people who
go on excursions, and for studied
photos of virgin timber, mountain
waterfalls, and quiet lake waters. The
natural beauties of the Swallow Falls
State forest preserve will no doubt
be we'll represented in the first weeks
Judging of the amateur snapshot con-
test, now being sponsored by The
Sunday Sun.
The city guests made the most of
a rural background for pictures of a
hill-billy orchestra and old-Lime
square dancing, on their visit to the
McComas barn on Deep Creek Lake,
not far from the forest preserve.
Professional Slips
Amateur fans, toting their dollar
boxes along the mountain trails, got
as much fun from taking their shots
as the professional cameramen, one of
whom ruined his equipment when he
slipped into Muddy Creek below the
Falls. Everyone moaned about the
action picture he didn't get-the pro-
fessional struggling in swirling water
up to his neck.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1938-06-16

Since the excursion on June 5, peo-
pie of Oakland who gave themselves
and their cars for the afternoon tour,
have received letters from their
guests expressing their thanks for
hospitality. Mayor Lawrence M. Fra
ley also has received number of
letters of appreciation.
A sample of what Oaklanders have
received is contained in the following,
written by Baltimore guest:
"Thank you and your generous citi-
zens for the splendid time which you
provided for the guests of the B. and
o. special train. In this day and age
it is indeed gratifying to find a peo-
pie who out of the warmness of their
hearts will inconvenience themselves
for the benefit of their visitors. l
am sure everyone enjoyed himself as
much as we did and longingly look
forward to visiting in your beautiful
countryside again."

glimmer Of what was going on.

Mann Out for First Time.
Which gives a hint, however f1azy,
of the lethal power in Louis fists.
Mann never had been knocked out be-
fore. The boxer who wants to bob
and weave and play it cute still can
make the champion look less gaudy
than he did last evening, no doubt,
but no fighter could have stood up
under the barrage that assailed Mann.
On the strength of his superb show
ing against q fighter who, admittedly,
was made to his order, Louis stock
probably will rise sharply against
Schmeling. The Negro has regained
the old fire that was lacking sadly
when Max pinned his ears back two
summers ago. 1t is highly probable
even. that he will enter the ring q
favorite over the man who nailed him.
To Mann's credit it can be said he
was true to his word. Foolhardy as it
looked in retrospect, he went after
Louis and threw his right. He even
made the opening round fairly close by
banging Joe's jaw with 4 couple while
the champ remained impassive behind
his long left jab
He made mistake, though, when
he kept it up in the second. Matte
sailed in and put across some thump-
ers as his home town rooters raved.
Suddenly, Louis began fighting back
viciously. and in the first real mix-up
he planted the left hook that engulfed
Mann's senses. A moment later he
slugged him to the canvas for nine,
and only the bell saved Matte for an
other round
Louis was without mercy when they
came out again. Two lefts crashed

counts before final right. packing all

Despite the abandon with which he
threw punches, Louis fists came out

secretly, had been a little worried about

6l2 pounds.

Martinelli Refuses to Work Off

An unfathomable situation, whereby
a graphing title is not at stake, will
be unraveled tonight at Turner's
Arena when Jesse James, claimant Of
the world light-heavyweight squirming
crown, twists with Gino Martinelli in
the feature event.
Because Martinelli refused to scale
down to 1876 pounds and thus be eligi-
bic to annex James championship,
the title will not be involved. James
previously tipped Gino here and
Martinelli said shedding poundage was
the cause, So tonight he will bend

McLoughlin's Record.
Obviously the completion of our top
10 by the inclusion Of Wilding and
Maurice E. Mclaughlin leaves room
for argument. Red Mac" didn't last
very long around the heights, but his
brief flight to fame was brilliant
enough, we believe, to give him the
call over such other American stall
warts as Malcolm Whitman, a dy-
manic singles figure at the turn of
the century; William A. Larned,
seven-time national singles champion,
but Davis Cup disappointment, and
Ellsworth Vines, whose brief surge to
the amateur heights in 1872 was fol-
lowed by an abrupt decline, then by
professionalism
Mclaughlin, besides winning the
United States singles crown twice,
helped bring the Davis Cup back from
England in 1918 and, single handed,
almost stood off the combined chAl-
lenge of Brookes and Wilding the fol-
lowing year. The California comet
beat both in the singles. His smash
ing, tremendously aggressive type of
game was prime factor IN revolu-
tionizing tennis tactics.
The place of Don Bulge. the world
top-ranking player, now has yet to
be determined.
Bulge Still Uncertain.
He is potentially another Tilden,
but the modern money-making lure
is such that he may prove just a
second Vines. It's short Jump nova
days from the Davis Cup to the cash
register.
We could not complete a roundup
of all-time tennis greats without men,
ton, at least, of such other notable
figures as John Cecil Parke, Joshua
PIN and the Renshaw brothers of old
British renown; Gerald Patterson, Jim
Anderson and Jack Crawford of Aus
tralia; Richard Sears. original and
seven-time American champion in the
80s; Dick Williams and Lin Murray,
each two-time winner of the national
singles crown in the pre-Tilden era !;
Dwight F. Davis, the cause of all the
international furor as cup donor and
as top-grade player himself; Bunny
Austin, silent but effective partner
OF Perry in the Davis Cup wars; Gott-
fried Won Cramm, the gallant Ger
man; Vincent Richards and George
Lott, two of the greatest volleyers of
all time.
