 Alaska Freight Express put it's third innovation in Alaskan water transportation into operation on this voyage by using stern-loading and by slowing cargo with move able electric hoists. Fabricated by Star Machinery Co. of Seattle to Alaska Freight Express design, the hoists give all-weather protec- tion to cargo by eliminating need for hatch covers and dock cranes.
 In good weather and when suf- ficient crews are avialable, both stern and hatch loading may be used with the new equipment which allows cargo to travel palletized and ready for immediate discharge.
 According to ThronSon, Alaska Freight Express will continue to develop innovations in the Alaskan shipping trade lin order to meet our goal of the lowest possible water-freight rates to the Territory"

Championship
Play-Ofs Start
Sunday, October 3
By Sam DaUson

The schedule of official games
was finally completed in the Mont
gomery County Baseball League
on Sunday, September 26th, when
the pennant winning p o ON c
Brewers shaded the second-place
Colesville Cardinals A to 3 at Boni-
fant's Meadow. Johnny Clements,
Jackie Lyon and Joe Wells pitched
for Potomac while Bill Giller went
all the way for the losers. The Po-
tomac victory gave them an official
total of Is wins against two losses
TO cop the County title as Coles
vile finished Az lengths back with
l3 victories against six defeats.
Rockville and Bethesda finished
third and fourth, respectively.
The Montgomery County League
Championship play-offs will COM
mence at 2 P. M. on Sunday, Octo-
Der Bird, with Rockville playing at
Potomac's McConihe Field and
Colesville entertaining Bethesda at
Bonifant's Meadow.
The winners of these two games
will meet the following Sunday,
October 10th, for the League
Championship on diamond yet to
be selected. Admission to the play.
off games will be one dollar per
person, tax included, and all chill
dren under 16 will be admitted
free if accompanied by an adult.
At McConihe Field, home of the
Brewers, Doc Mannar is expected
to start southpaw Joe Wells who
has won nine games without loss
in league competition. Joe Hutch
inson, manager of the Rockville
All Stars, will pin his hopes of VIC
tory on the right-handed slants of
Boots fanella who sports, when
he's right, a fire ball with a wick
ed hop.
Dee Sperau will lead his Bethes-
ola caarges to Bonifant's Meadow
with full confidence in the ability
of left-handed Charley Pugh to
hold Colesville in check. Neverthe-
less, Joe Gibson, Colesville's cagey
mentor, is equally confident that
enough zip remains in the strong
right arm Of Brother Love to
bring Colesville home in front.
Love has been beaten only once
this year on Colesville's home field
which indicates that he is at his
best when pitching from the
mound in the Meadow.

Burtonsville again proved them
selves, champions last Sunday
when they defeated a team of all
stars selected from five teams from
the Upper County Baseball League.
Kalasankas handcuffed the All
Stars as he gave up only seven
hits, two runs and struck out ten.
The final score was 5 to 2.
Poole, from the u. M. C. F. D.,
started for the All Stars and
pitched shutout ball for the three
innings he worked before giving
way to Don Benson from the Red
Sox. Benson was coasting along
fine until the sixth when Marlowe
blasted base-clearing triple which
was enough to sew up the game
for Burtonsville. Arson Ball work
ed the last three innings and gave
UP one run on a long triple by
Rem after Bond had walked. Ball
justified his selection on the All
Star team by striking out five men
in the three innings he worked.
Outside of double by Billy Re-
: Der and double by R. Robertson,
the All Stars were completely at
the mercy of Kalasankas through
out.
In a pre-game ceremony, Mer-
ton Duvall, president of the Upper
Montgomery County League, pre-
sented Manager Jack Athey of the
Burtonsville team a trophy in rec
ognition of their winning the
league title.

on a very successful season con-
sidering the fact that this was

September 81, 1913
Ny dear Mrs. Haines:
In connection with your Mont
gomery Sidelights of September 1G
let me say that / am a great-niecc
of Allen Bowie Davis and spent
many weeks at Greenwood when
my cousin, Miss Mary Dorsey Da-
Wis, and l would go over the old
family papers. Your article above
mentioned sent me back to those
papers to look up the record.
j find that the first Thomas Da-
Wis settled in Princess Anne Coun-
ty, Va, then migrated to Mary
land and settled in the Herring
| Greek neighborhood. His property
was "near the bay" He had eleven
children and died in 1749. | find a
notation that states his death is
recorded on the parish register at
All Hallow Church, Herring Creek
near Annapolis. This record clear
ly indicates what has always been
said in the family, that the first
Thomas Davis never lived at
Greenwood.
The Greenwood lands i have
an old "plat of the plantation" =
appears to have been sold by Rich
ard Snowden on a certificate of
ownership when the land was sur
veyed and this house built. The
patent was issued in 1922. On this
land settled the second Thomas
Davis, aged Is years. He was the
third child and second son of the
first Thomas Davis. | find from
other colonial records that boys Of
18 were expected to establish
themselves as men of affairs.
The second Thomas Davis owned
but never lived at Greenwood, his
son Ephraim being the first Davis
that permanently lived there and
the name Greenwood was given to
the property after the third Thorn
as Davis came of age. Thomas Da-
Wis the second left Greenwood to
his eldest son, Ephraim Davis,
who died in 1869 leaving a widow
and an only child, the third Thorn
as Davis, born December, 1853.
So there could have been no patri-
otto activities at Greenwood during
the American Revolutionary the
Davis family.
You may be interested to hear
that the upstairs of the oldest part
of the house was called the ''bache-
lors' wing" There the sons of the
family and all visiting beaux were
lodged.
There are now living four great
nieces and nephews of Allen
Bowie Davis. They are my sister,
Maria Williams Bowie, better
known as Minnie" She lived with
the Davises for many, many years
and was Miss Mary Dorsey Davis
principal heir. She and myself are
the nieces. The nephews are Cen
cral Washington Bowie and DON
aid McAlpine Bowie. We were not
informed that any celebration at
Greenwood was contemplated.
Sincerely yours,
LUCY LEIGH BOWIE.
