STAY YOUNG
Dancing Is
His Secret

KANSAS CITY, KAS.-In this
town there is a pioneer citizen who
has discovered the secret of youth.
"Al you have to do" he says,
sis put on your dancing shoes and
get out among EN-"
He's Frank o. Taylor, a retired
truck gardener, whose full time hob
by and recreation is dancing. At SO.
he spends a minimum Of 16 hours a
week on the dance floor. and for
as long as anybody can remember
he's been the dancingest man in
these parts.
AS a result, he says, "I'm as
healthy as a kid of 49," Today, he
has a twinkle in his eye and a zip
In his step and has never been to
a doctor in his life.
Taylor gets out among 'em at
least four nights a week. He's a
permanent guest at most Of the
regular "gay nineties" shindigs and
a perennial winner of old-fashioned
dancing contests.
Learns Latest Steps
But he won't be classified as a
yesterdays hoofer. He studies the
latest steps, learns them quickly.
He thinks swing music has a good.
solid beat" and says if we'd had
jitterbugging in 1890 everybody
would have loved it.
That's the kind of dancing that
puts you in shape" he says. "You
have to have bells on your feet and
oil in your joints and keep stompin'
all night long to really get any
where"
He finds two things wrong with
modern Neutrality-suspicious. who
play more intermissions than mu-
sic" and the tendency of young men
to dance only with their w girls.
He preferred the days when a fid-
die. guitar and piano pounded out
the rhythm from suppertime til
dawn and every young man made it
a point to dance with every girl in
the hall.
His advice to husbands is along
the same line: Take your wife out
any time she asks, but do most Of
your dancing with somebody else's
That's the way they did it
in his day.

Taylor arrived in this city from a
homesteading venture in the west !

Laurel's first team was collect
ing no points in the second quar-
ter and only five points in the
third period the Red Lodge crew
continued to increase the lead.
The second team played the
last quarter and scored 10 points
against the Red Lodge regulars,
but couldn't cut the lead much.
The Coyotes won 33 to 81.
The Laurel crew frightened in
the second period after the Coy

urge to enter into the rugged
aggressive tactics of the host

Laurel, Feb. II.
Saturday night the Locomotives
moved into their first fast break
game of the season and after a
ragged first half, smoothed out
their offense and took an easy
as to 90 game from the Columbus
Cougers. The Cougars matched
the Laurel team basket for bas-
ket during the first half, trailing
9 to s at the quarter and 16
to II at the half. In the third
period Laurel broke loose for
IS points while Columbus could
collect only three, and then the

Where Cocaine Is Popular

A large part of the people living
in the Andes of Ecuador, Peru, b.
livia and nearby countries of South
America use cocaine daily. The
drug is obtained from the Peruvian
and Bolivian species. Erythroxylon
coca, cultivated for this purpose.
The cocaine plant is harvested much
like tea. Nursery-grown seedlings
are transplanted to terraces on the
moist slopes of s~emi-tropical val
leys. The leaves are picked when
they are fully grown. Most of the
cocaine leaves produced in South
America r used locally.

Damascus Firemen Continue
To Burn Up County League

The undefeated Damascus Fire
men continued to burn up the
Montgomery County Baseball
League as young Paul Burner
hung up his sixth straight win
with three-hit, Al, victory over
Bethesda. In other looio games on
Sunday, June 9Th, Colesville rolled
over Sandy Spring, 1915, while Ed
Bladen's spirited Silver Spring
nine came from behind to nose
Rockville, 81, in a ten-inning
thriller at Browns Field.
At Damascus Stadium Paul
Burner had no-hitter working for
six and two-thirds innings. He was
finally touched for single in the
seventh and two more in the
eighth when Bethesda scored their
lone tally to ruin possible shut
out for the slender Highlander
who has been cooking on the front
burner all season.
Southpaw Charlie Pugh did al
most as well as Burner, giving up
but four hits. Damascus scored
first on a squeeze play in the
fourth and then added three more
ii the fifth to put the game on
ice. These last three runs were I'M
earned when, with two away and
the bases loaded, Lanney Williams
dumped routine pop into right
field. The ball got temporarily lost
in the sun and then finally dropped
by Bethesda's rightfelder for
costly error. Once again it was
number of errors, this time FIVE,
that spelled defeat for Bethesda.
Damascus made two miscues afield
and otherwise gave Burner the
kind of support that Pugh would
love to have.
At Colesville Brother Love
coasted to a 1875 win, giving up
8 hits to Sandy Spring in the
process. Herb DeVers was relieved
by Dick Peabody in the seventh
and together these righthanders
were touched for Ii safe blows.
The big man with the bat for
Colesville was smuggling Gene
Taylor who got three for five, in
Guiding 400 foot homer with none
on in the third. All told, Gene
scored five times and got credit
for three runs batted in. In this
connection he received able assis-
lance from catcher John Harvill
who tripled twice, and John Boni-
FAINT who got four for five, includ-
ing a double. Harvill and Bonifant
got two R. B. l. each.
Bladen Stadium in Browns
Meadow furnished the back-drop
for several interesting incidents in
a closely fought pitchers duel
from which Babe Mickeljohn
emerged as the eventual hero in
the bottom of the tenth. Final
score was Silver Spring 2; Rock
vile 1.
Mickeljohn started in right field
but relieved Buddy Norton on the
mound in the sixth, after Norton
was removed in the fifth for pinch

BurtonsvilIe Leads In
Upper County Baseball

Upper Montgomery County Fire
Department. -
Brewer started on the mound
for Burtonsville and was given a
very good lead to work on as his
mates produced 3 runs in the first
2 innings which was more than
enough to sew up the game. Powell
took over the hurting duties in the
third when Brewer showed signs
of weakening, and pitched a beau
tiful game holding the opposition
scoreless for the remaining Z inn
ings. Peters, Burtonsville's catch
er, with four hits in four trips to
the plate, was the outstanding
batter of the day.
Wash" White was the losing
pitcher for Gaithersburg. Bones"
Becraft relieved for six innings
and was touched for two more
runs in the 9th.
Lefty" Poole was the winning
pitcher for the U.M.C.F.D. as he
displayed perfect control and al
lowed only 6 hits in chalking up
his second win in league competi-
ton. Jack Freeberger was charged
with the defeat although he had
pitched six hit ball for 8 innings.
His support was on the horrible
side, however, as five of the op-
ponents runs were unearned.
Next Sunday, June ~, the fea-
ture game of the day will be in
Gaithersburg when the Rockville
Red Sox face the much improved
Gaithersburg Nine in another of
those typical ockville-Gaithers-
burg battle royals" Bones" Be-
craft will undoubtedly get the
starting assignment for Gathers
burg as he has always had the
Indian Sign on the Red Sox. Mgr.
Harry Beane will call on his ace
Hurler Arson Ball in an attempt
to get in the win column. This
should be an outstanding pitching
duel as both Ball and Becraft are
rated among the top pitchers in
the county.
In the other game next Sunday.
Potomac will be shooting for their
first league win when they enter
tain the U.M.C.F.D. at Potomac.
Game time at both parks is 2:SO.

hitter Roy "Stroker" Mcneil who
promptly stroked a single past
Fat Smith at third. Frank Mahon
went all the way for Rockville and
lost a tough decision when the
venerable and reliable George
"Pepco9 Barry dropped Bobby
Waters low liner to left-center,
thereby permitting Bill Harry to
score the winning run. Harry had
doubled to start the tenth and was
sacrificed to third by Porky May
Krantz who had missed nine
strikes in three previous appear
ances at the plate to account for
almost half of the seven strikeouts
registered by Mahon.
The late Walter Johnson's son,
Bob, drew first blood for Rockville
when he singled to open the fourth
inning. Fat Smith sacrificed John
son to second and Bob advanced
to third as Bill Hutchinson ground
ed out. Pitcher Frank Mahon
reached first after being hit on
the left side by fast inside pitch.
Acting rather incapacitated, Ma
hon suddenly came to life and took
second on a delayed steal while
johnson scored on the bottom end
OF twin larceny executed in broad
daylight and in full view of Ed
Bladen.
Silver Springs first run came
in the seventh when Babe Nickel
john doubled to left center and
scored on Stroker McNeiPs second
single to the same general vicinity.
Bob johnson was not through
and threatened to score again in
the eighth when he sent a long
triple on line to right center
with but one away. Fat Smith and
Joe Hutchinson, who followed Bob
to the plate, were unable to bring
him home and from then on the
Babe set Rockville down in one
two-three order in the ninth and
tenth.
Each team made eight hits and
Silver Spring played errorless ball
while Rockville was found guilty
of three miscues.
Next Sunday, June 18th, Bladen
Stadium in Browns Meadow
should again be the site of another
thriller when Cd Bladen and Joe
Gibson lock horns as Silver Spring
and Colesville fight it out for Sec
ond place.
Elsewhere in the league Rock
vile will entertain the loop-leading
Damascus Firemen at Welsh Field,
while Sandy Spring plays host to
Bethesda on the Sherwood Dia-
mond. Damascus shaded Rockville,
5-3, on May 9Th, at Damascus
Stadium.
