Richard Green
Is Host To Large
Fishing Party
County Business And Pro-
fessiOnal Men Take Annual
Jaunt To SOlOmOn's Island

About seventy Montgomery County
men, some of them fishermen and
some just members of the party,
were guests of Richard F. Green, at
Solomon's Island last Tuesday.
Judges, lawyers, doctors, bankers,
farmers, politicians, realtors, public
officials, clerks, editors, auto dealers,
etc. ETC., made up the cosmopolitan
group. Leaving Rockville shortly after
/ p. m. the fishermen arrived at their
destination at varying times, depend
ing both on the car and the spirit of
the driver.
When the group assembled "Com-
munity Mint Julep" appeared and dis
appeared to whet the whistles and
sharpen the appetites of the "Green-
guests.
That the meal of soft crabs and
fried chicken was delicious is best
attested by the fact that at more than
one table the supply of soft crabs was
replenished not once, nor twice, but
three and four times.
The objective of the expedition be-
ing fishing - the gang was loaded
into the four provided boats, where
upon war was declared on minnows,
croakers, cells, trout and whatnots.
On one boat a pool was made up for
the man who caught the first fish and
the largest fish. Probably the most
extensive fish ever seen by him was
the three-inch, six-ounce "fish" landed
by Barney Welsh following a struggle
which stamped him Immediately as a
master of the art. This was the first
catch and it was worth half the pot
William Linthicum really deserves
the most praise as he pulled about
twenty-five of the finny tribe over
the side of his boat.
The party has become an annual
affair and Mr.. Green, the amlaDie
host was we'll pleased with the
abundant evidence of the enjoyable
time had by all. Especial and conlden-
tial note) Most of the men brought
home some fish but few OF them ac-
tually caught fish.

Refugees Tell Stories
OF German Activity
Behind Polish Line
Soldiers and Civilians
Mochine-Gunned
In Bydgoszcz

Eighth OF a SerieS.)
BY JULIEN BRYAN.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 6.-German
minority citizens of Poland, many
of them prosperous farmers and
businessmen, during the Nazi in
vasion under cover of night turned
against the Poles and machine
gunned soldiers and refugees, ac-
cording to Americans who struggled
into Warsaw to take refuge at the
American Embassy during the siege.
AS shells and bombs exploded
around the embassy an American
businessman of Polish stock named
Wysockr, who had been living in
Bydgoszcz, about 100 miles northwest
of Warsaw, entranced Americans
with a story of the Polish capture
of German citizens of Bydgoszcz
caught machine cunning Polish SOL
diers and refugees:
Took Position in Tower.
"What puzzled me and hundreds
of Poles who had not left Byd-
goszcz," Wysockr related, was that
each evening during the exodus of
refugees, in complete darkness,
there was frequent sniping. Each
night some Poles being killed. 1t
was apparent that these were not
accidental but deliberate shootings
of Polish troops and refugees from
behind their own lines.
"At last the real truth came out
when small group of German
citizens of Bydgoszcz, apparently
taking orders directly from the
Nazis and receiving word that it
was the end of Bydgoszcz and the
Germans were about to enter, boldly
took up a position in the tower of a
Lutheran church, installed q ma
chine gun and, under cover of night
raked the streets with steady
stream of bullets.
But the Nazi troops were be-
hind schedule, and Polish soldiers
located the hidden machine gun,
stormed the tower and captured
and Immediately shot seven Byd-
goszcz citizens"
Story From Other Sources.
heard this same story from four
other sources. Wysockr's perilous
journey to safety in Warsaw was
like that told by many other Ameri-
cans 1t took him four days on
bicycle to reach the capital. He
was machine gunned repeatedly by
loW-fying NaZi planes and hid in

roadside bitches. Once, near Z
peasants house, he was lying in
ditch while, German plane cir
cled low, scattering bullets all
around him. The plane then made
wide circle, the pilot planning,
apparently, a second descent.
Wysockr lay there, thinking 1t was
the end, but the pilot changed his
mind and instead swooped over the
peasants farmyard and machine
gunned and killed three little chill
rem at play. Then the plane flew
of.
After many minutes Wysockr
walked to the farmhouse, 100 yards
away, to try to comfort the hy-
sterical peasant woman, who had
just discovered the bodies of her
children.

Battle. for Second
Place Features i
National Race

NEW YORK, July 10. (UP)-
There was a traffic jam on in
the National league today between
second and seventh places. With
the Cincinnati Reds 71s games in
front, the interest in the senior
circuit for the time being Is the
battle for the runner-up spot. There
are six clubs in it Only the Reds
and the last place Phillies seem
to be in the spots they'll wind UP
in.
The traffic between the midway
clubs was terrific yesterday. The
Giants dropped from second to
fourth. The Cubs moved from third
to second. The Cardinals leaped
from fifth to third. The Dodgers
dropped from third to fifth. From
the Cubs in second to the Bees in
seventh, the gap is only four games,
and from the Cubs to the Dodgers
in fifth, only game and half.
A club may be the runner-up on
Saturday and wake UP on Monday
in sixth place.
While all this battling was 60
ing on to determine the club which
would make the big challenge to
stop them, the Reds rolled on with
a 1913 victory over the Bees. Paul
Derringer hung up his 18th triumph.
Frank Mccormick led the Reds
attack with homer and two
singles, driving in four tallies.
The Cubs beat the Dodgers, AZ,
with Claude Passeau going the
route.
The downward plunge of the
Giants continued as the Cardinals
knocked off the Terrymen. 5-3, for
three In a row at the Polo Grounds.
With Syl johnson pitching eight
hit ball, the Phillies won from the
Pirates, 8-3.
Alley Donald set a freshman
pitching record when he hurled the
Yankees to a 90 victory over the
| st. Louis Browns for his 11th
straight triumph.
The Yanks won the second game,
4-3.
The Red Sox broke even with
the White Sex, winning the opener,
1910 and dropping the nightcap,
8-5. Homers by Williams, Foxx and
Auker, each with man on base,
won the first game.
