County Policemen
Are Convicted

Three former Montgomery
County policemen were convicted
Monday in the Police Court before
Donald A. DeLashmutt of stealing
three cases of beer from the Dixie
Pig luncAroom in Silver Spring.
The men whose designations
from the police force had been de-
manded by H. Leslie Carlin, chief
after charges had been brought
against them are, Herman Paul,
Takoma Park, for four years a
policeman; George Wilt, Rockville
and julius Leins, Silver Spring.
They were each fined $50 and re-
ceived suspended sentences of 30
days.
Judge DeLashmutt said it was
his policy to be lenient with first
offenders whose character records
had been good, and added that the
publicity attendant upon their trial
and conviction was additional
punishment. States attorney
Joseph B. Simpson had asked that
the men be punished as ian ex-
ample for others" Leins and Wilt
were defended by Kenneth Lyd-
dane, and Paul by former States
attorney James Pugh.

as it may, both Penn and Lord
Baltimore had long been in their
graves when their heirs finally
agreed to strike the arc around
Delaware and run an east and
west line from exactly fifteen
miles south of the southernmost
point of Philadelphia which was
then called South Street.
The authorities felt that there
was no one in this country capable
of correctly establishing this line
so they brought over from Eng
land these two eminent astrono-
mers. AS this agreement, if carried
out to the letter, necessitated the
crossing of the Delaware River
twice with the attendant difficult
ties of carrying their valuable in
struments and also of making the
measurements over the water,
they decided to go establish a
stone from which they would then
go directly south the required
fifteen miles and from which point
they would run the east west line
dividing Pennsylvania and Mary

During the Labor Day weekend
Washington Grove began its first
tennis tournament since the war.
The players were some of the

few average and AT old timers.
Also, not having silver cup to
give away, the Inauguration of
the "Tin Cup Tournament was
begun with the first years prize
being that of a red lantern to aid
the singles champion, Joseph
Temple, in playing his unexcelled
game after dark as well as find
ing his lost balls. Temple won
over Buddy Becraft in the finals
on Sunday, Sept. 10th, on a damp
and slippery court, by a score of
6-3, 7-5 and go.
The greatest match of the entire
tournament was the nonstop,
three hour, five set, sixty-two
game doubles match between Billy
Reber, %, and Joseph Temple, 38,
against 81 year old 1t. Donald
Robinson and 65 year old George

The best play was made by Billy
Reber on a back hand corner alley

the fence.
Due to the unusual player line
up and the atomic force of the
battle, this set will stand out in
the history of Washington Grove
