Ayers : Blood

The Rockville Baptist Church
was the scene of an informally ar
ranged wedding on Saturday after
noon, when Miss Hester Lewis
Ayres became the bride of Private
John Francis Blood of Fort George
G. Meade.
The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. John Ayres of Gaithersburg,
and the bridegroom a son of Mr..
and Mrs. P. ]. Blood of Washing
ton Grove.
The ceremony was performed in
the presence of a small company
of relatives at one o'clock, the Rev.
Herbert o. Cooper officiating. Mrs.
Herbert o. Cooper played appro-
pirate wedding music throughout
the ceremony.
In keeping with the simplicity of
the wedding arrangements, the
bride wore her travelling costume,
a powder blue suit with black ac-
cessories and corsage of garde-
Mas. There were no attendants.
Following the ceremony, the couple
left for a short southern trip.

The 1912 Season

Philosopher and psychologist STEM
gel looked forward to a good base
ball year.
''The average human mind" he
said, "can handle only so much trOu-
BILE and brooding. II needs some
form Of release now and then. The
entertainment and the amusement
baseball brings to millions will be
badly needed. And this can in no
way interfere with war work Of any
sort.
Workers in war industries can
use an hour or two here and there
to rest their nerves and get needed
relaxation. All those needed for
war service will be taken. They
have been called in large numbers
and they still will be called when
ever and wherever wanted. But
there will be others left--many 9TH
ers-including older men with fami-
lies. Not so many Of these will be
taken, with so many unmarried
younger men around.
"And stars keep coming along. !
remember they once said nobody
could take the places of Wagner and
LajOie. Then we had Cobb. Speaker
and jackson. Who could take their
places? Then we had Ruth and
Gehrig, Hornsby and others. No
body could ill those gaps. But sud
denly there were DiMaggio. Feller
and Ted williams. Also Pete Rriser,
q great frst-year man. And tsal
Joe Gordon is no doOrmat around

Casey said. "The war will make

Casey said, sis the little so many

usually big. fast and strong, and
they appear to think that's all there
is needed to make ball player.

nation.
The verbal strife centers around
the fact that the mOderns are get
ting all the votes and many old
timers, who also deserve the honor,
are moving farther into the back
ground. Those who utter the COM
plants are fearful lest the latter
soon will be forgotten altogether.
The emphasis upon modern play
ers is not difficult to understand. The
big league writer's who cast the bal
lots aren't familiar with the ball
players of the 10000 era. They pre-
fer to evaluate the relative great
ness of players whom they have seen
in action. They do not always pay
attention to the fact that there were
good ball players three-quarters Of
century ago.
The present system can be inn
proved on. With one exception, all
IA men elected to the Hall of Fame
by baseball writers were active
around 1910 or thereafter. The pc
riod from 1900 to 1910 certainly is
not without its share of stars. 1t was
then that the American league was
born.
For instance, there was Fred
Clark, one of the National leagues
all-time outielders with the Pirates.
He always draws some votes-but
never enough Babe Adams, also a
Pirate, has plenty Of supporters,
few of whom have anything to say
about the nominations
It's a pretty safe bet that among
those soon to be mentioned for last
ing greatness are Bill LANCE Of the
old Cubs, Wild Bill Donovan of the
Tigers, Bob Grove Of the AS and
Red Sox, Ed Walsh of the White Sox,
Johnny Evers of the Cubs, Nap

when the latter is eligible.
Walsh is a likely candidate for
elevation. He is gradually gaining
votes each time ballot is required.
1t is obvious that the real oldsters
of the game are being ignored to
large extent. Just what will be done
to remedy the situation isn't clear.
A suggestion already has been made
that each years voting be restricted
to a definite era-perhaps 1900 to
1910. and 1910 to 1920, etc.
Such a move would do much to
clear up the situation 1t doesn't
supply all the answers, but at least
it would be start in the right direc-

Reserve Militia
Units Planned,
OCOnOr Reports
Will Be On Voluntary Basis,
And Distinct From Present
State Guard

Moved by warnings from Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of
War Stimson that enemy attacks
could be expected along the At
lantic Coastline, Governor Herbert
R. O'Conor made known here to-
day plans for reserve militia units
for added State defense.
These reserve units will be en-
tirely separate from the present
State Guard, the Governor an
nounced, but final details of orga-
nlzation were deferred pending fur
ther conferences with United
States Army officials in this area.
"Under our State Constitution
and Laws, ample authority is found
for the organization of a sizeable
State Militia. The responsibility
rests upon the Governor to prepare
and call the Militia to a reserve
military status, in order to be
ready for such service as our men
can render in protection of the lives
and properties Of our citizens and
for the preservation of our State
and National freedoms.
"In the past several days l have
held conferences with military
officials of the Federal and State
Governments. The action which l
intend to take meets with their ap-
proval and I have made clear that
| am determined it shall be under
taken with the active assistance of
the War Department.
81 plan to enroll and organize in
reserve militia units large num-
Der of Maryland men who are
available for such services. A
sufficient number will volunteer, I
believe, and the plan will be I'M
dertaken, at the outset, on a pure
ly voluntary basis.
"The War Department, the Gov
ernor continued, twill be asked to
give us such arms and equipment
as can be spared from the primary
requirement of supplying the reg
ular Army. In this connection I
might state that the Federal Gov
eminent has already been most lib
cral in giving such assistance to
the Maryland State Guard, for
which I give thanks to Major Cen
eral Milton A. Reckord and to his
predecessor Commanders of the
Third Corps Area.
"The reserve militia units could
drill in the evenings and get rifle
range training over weekend and
on holidays, and thus not disrupt
their regular work for defense or
caily lives unless greater emery
ency developed in which event their
lives and work will necessarily be
disorganized.
"This is one of the times in
American history when it seems
vitality important and entirely ap-
propriate that the coastal states
should arm their citizens to the
fullest extent that caution requires
and that the means at hand allow.
Further details of the organization
will be made public after additional
conferences are held with Army
officers who will be consulted about
all phases of the situation"
