RippHng
OF the Rivers

Hardin city officials have re.
Gently received a letter from
Clarence Reckmeyer of BLACK
Hawk, Colo, which contained q
story by one George g. Hardin
who claims this city is named
for him.
Hardin, a railroad employee
writes a hair-raiSing story about
a runaway freight car, which
he says, happened in 1906. =
According to his story, Hardin
was working a freight from Bill
lingS when a car with defective
brakes broke loose from. the
train near Toluca, where the
train was awaiting a west
bound passenger. Hardin's story
relates how he boarded the
car on the fly and finding the
brakes out of order, rode the
car at speeds up to so miles
per hour on the down grade
east toward what is now Hardin
With the westbound train in
sight, Hardin says, he grabbed
a coal pick, pryed a large
plank loose from the car, and
threw it beneath the wheels in
front of the car, causing it to
come to a stop at the spot
where the Hardin depot is now
located, and only a few feet
from the weStbound train.
The writer claims that rail-
road officials named the sta
ton after him because of his
heroic work. -
Reckmeyer says he got the
story from George C. Hardin
about 20 years ago when he was
in the garage business at
Bridger, Mont. sar
Recent communications with
railroad officials of that era
fail to vOuch for the story as
being the occasion for the
naming of this city.
George C. Hardin wrote an
interesting story, but we are
inclined to take the word OF
many old-timerS, who say Har-
din was named in honor of Col.
IS. 3. Hardin, then a resident
of Manchester, Wyo., who, with
A. b. Campbell, had a large
herd of cattle ranging on the
Crow reservation.
%
Big Horn county residents
should keep in mind a message
from the Department Of De-
Tense regarding the personal
safety of next of kin of u. S.
personnel reported missing in
action In Korea, since at least
one similar case has been re-
ported in this county.
In the past some unScrupu-
louS individuals, attempting to
turn the grief and sorrow of
families to their own uses, have
been known to extort money
from families by claiming that
they have some knowledge of
the relative who is reported as
missing in action.
Sometimes they claim that
the relative is a prisoner of
war and that they are in a
position either to get in touch
with him, or to get him freed
from the prison camp, for a
certain sum of money.
Experience indicates that
such letters originate in other
countries as well as the United
States.
Anyone receiving any letter
or other communication from
anybody not well known to
them who claims to have
knowledge about a missing rel
alive, is urged to notify the
nearest FBI office before doing
anything else. :

GETTING EVEN

Next door to the quiet Smiths in
q Los Angeles apartment building
live the Joneses, who are addicted
to boisterous Saturday-night par
ties. The Smiths suffered in silence
until recently, when an air duct in
the wall common to the living
rooms of both apartments gave
Smith an idea for suitable reprisal.
On Saturday he removed the
grille where the duct entered his
living room and, reaching in, placed
the microphone of his home record
ing machine at the point where a
patch of light marked the grills in
the Joneses' living room. That night
he recorded an hour of the hilarity
next door at its peak. The follow
ing night, when he could tell that
the Joneses were retiring early, he
placed the loudspeaker of his ma
chine against the wall between his
and Joneses' bedrooms and, with
the volume turned up, blasted the
Joneses with a canned broadcast
of their own revelry. The Smiths
Saturday nights have been quite
peaceful lately.

FANCY THAT!

One evening when my hus-
band and l were playing minia-
ture golf, we got behind a young
couple with a small baby. They
kept handling the baby back and
forth after each shot, and it
made a slow game. Quite a lit
tie group collected behind them,
but no one seemed to mind wait
ing. No one except one iInpa-
tient young thing who finally
turned to her partner and said,
sarcasticaIly, ''It's really
shame some people can't hire
a baby sitter.'A
At that the young man swung
around, bowed from the waist
and retorted, Lady, we are the
baby sitters."

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

You can bet your bottom dollar
that there will be standing room
only at the Stadium on August 16
and II, when the second place Al
lentown Cards come to town for a
three-game series-a double header
on the 10Th and a single game on
the 18th.
The way things are going right
now, those three games could just
about settle the pennant race, as both
clubs are hot as firecrackerS.
The Braves mighty midget, Billy
Smith, continues to smack that apple
all over the lot, boosting his average
to .375 on Tuesday night when he
got three for four, including
double, to put him far in the lead as
the leagues leading hitter - and
don't forget he has driven in II runs.
1t sure is good to see Pete Perrin
meeting the ball squarely again.
After being on the bench for few
days he got back in the lineup in
the ten-inning game at York on Sun
day afternoon, replacing Dodo Can
terna in leftfeld in the eighth frame,
and he got a double in the tenth
that drove in two runs, enough to
win the game, although Jerry Lev
inson drove in two more to make
sure of his win.
Pete continued his solid hitting in
the game at Wilmington on Tuesday
night. He was at bat five times and
got three hits, including a three
Dagger, and two walks, for perfect
night, and he also drove in two runs.
Maybe what Pete needed was the
few days rest that he got and here's
hoping he keeps up the good work,
for it sure will be big help in the
drive down the stretch, when every
hit will really count.
With the end of the season drawing
closer and closer, there is a real
dogfght going on in the Washington
County League.
Gapland is on top by one game
over Keedysville and Boonsboro,
who are tied for second place, with
Smithsburg in fourth place, just two
games off the pace.
Over in the Independent League
there is another tight race for first
and second place, with Security lead
ing by just two games over the sec
ond-place Sandy Hook boys
And just to complete the picture,
the "Y' County Softball League is
in another dogfght, with st. Marks
and Harrystown deadlocked for first
place.
You will find the standings, re-
suits and schedules of all three
leagues elsewhere on this page.

Boost The Braves
Attend All Home Games

With the Hagerstown Today race
meeting, which ends on Saturday,
certain to break all attendance and
betting records for the local track,
everyone connected with the meeting
can really stand up and take bow"
The Board of Directors of the Fair
Board did the seemingly impossible
in getting the half-million-dollar
plant finished in time for opening
day, but they not only did that, they
also provided the racing fans with
the finest half-mile plant in the coun-
try, Then, to top it off, they pre-
scented, with the help Of the racing
officials and the horse owners, as fine
a race meet as has ever been held in
Hagerstown.
Up to the time this was written,
there had only been one disquali-
f1cation and one accident, and there
have been more thrilling finishes
than have seen in many year.
1t is impossible to name all those
who helped make the meeting such
an unqualified success, but would
like to congratulate Eldred Rinehart,
the president of the Board and gen
eral manager of the meeting; his able
assistant Fuzzy Beard" who, if he
got any time for sleep must have
taken catnaps while he was work
ing; the sportswriters of the Wash
ington and Hagerstown dailies, who
gave the meeting more publicity than
a lot of mile tracks get; the radio
and television sportscasters; and
last, but not least, every member of
the Board of Directors of the Fair
Board, who worked increasingly to
make the meeting a real success.
