Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK IA group of
large, horid young men who won
the Gaelic football championship
of Ireland last week for County
Cork are in our midst, warming
up to play a picked New York
team under the lights Saturday
night at the Polo Grounds.
Having surmounted some linguis-
tic difficulties, we are in position,
through the courtesy and patience
of Michael Vincent O'Donoughue,
president of the Gaelic Athletic
Association of Ireland, to tell you
few things about Ireland's favor
ite game, including the fact THAT
SIS, 900 persons sat and stood in a
steady downpour to watch the title
game at Dublin on Saturday.
There are 20 players on the Cork
squad, but it is possible that only
Is Of them viii get into the game
here. That is the number on a
side, and no subs tutions are per-
mitted unless player is knocked
more or less cold and is judged to
be in no condition to continue.
The game is played on a field
160 yards by 80, approximately one
third larger than ours. It is PLAYED
in two 30-minute halves and action
is continuous except for 10-min-
ute breather at the half.
The bah may be kicked or it
may be handled. That is, a player
may grab it and run as many as
three Steps-no more--before send
ing the sphere on its way, either
by kick or by punching it with
his fist. If the player is smart,
0'Donoghue added, he win get rid
OF the ball in a hurry, for as long
as it is in his possession he is
fair game for the opposition.
He cannot be tackled, but he can
be shoulder blocked with great vio-
lence. AS Gaelic player wouldn't
think of wearing padding of any
sort, being shoulder-blocked is no
fun, the president indicated. 1t is
the main reason they sometimes
make up to eight or 10 Substitu-
tons to the game.
There is, of course, a goal at
eiGAer end of the long field. The
posts are 81 feet apart, but the
cross bar is only eight feet from
the ground. With a tough goal
keeper always in attendance, it is
very diffiult to get the bali through
beneath the bar. That is known as
a goal and is rewarded by three
points. If the ball goes above the
bar it is worth only a single point.
After an hour of furious exertion,
the average team can expect to
have perhaps one goal and four
or five points, 0'Donoghue said.
That's the way they call the score
not in total points.

tuberculosis ASSOC
TB Germs

tuberculosis, the communicable
disease which leads the causes of
death from disease in this country
among the age group from Is to 80,
is one of our most serious health
problems today. Although we still
have a great deal to learn about the
disease, TB was almost completely
shrouded in mystery up to the lat
ter part of the last century.
The ancient Egyptians and early
Greek and Roman doctors had de-
scribed tuberculosis in their writ
ings, but the cause of the disease
continued to be hidden for centuries.
But in 1882, a German physicist
named Robert Koch, after years of
study and research, saw the tubercle
bacillus under his microscope and
then undertook to prove that the
germ he had discovered caused TB.
Once the germ which caused the
trouble was out in the open, it was
established that the disease was COM
municable, passed on from person to
person. Since every new case of
tuberculosis came from an active
case of the disease, it was obvious
that people could be protected from
TB by measures taken to stop its
spread.
How do tubercle bacilli get from
sick people to well persons? 1t is
possible for those with active TB to
send tubercle bacilli into the air
when they cough or sneeze. Some
one nearby can inhale these germs,
or well person can pick them up by
handling or using the dishes, cloth
ing, or other articles of person i'll
with tuberculosis.
On the surface, it would seem that
a well person could avoid TB germs
by staying away from person with
active TB. But it isn't as simple as
that.
One may be in contact with active
TB-or have an early case of tuber-
culosis himself without realizing it.
For tuberculosis is treacherous and
seldom makes its presence known,
when it first strikes, by outward
symptoms. Generally, the obvious
symptoms appear when a persons
illness has reached a more advanced
stage.
However, tuberculosis can be de-
tected early, should it strike. 1t can
be found with the aid of the chest
X-ray, which can search out SUSPECT
Gus signs of tuberculosis even before
a person begins to look and feel i'll.
Every adult should have chest
X-ray as part of his annual physical
examination This is the best meas
ure any of us can take to find TB,
should it attack, at the earliest pos

of people, especially stores after
opening packing boxes, who were
throwing nails into the streets. The
police considered it a dangerous
practice, and especially hazardous
to automobiles, but the Council felt
that "some of it could not be avoid
ed" The newspaper stated that like
ly some action would be taken on the
matter later.
Another interesting bit of action
at this meeting was the approval of
an ordinance to buy the building that
for many years housed the municipal
offices of Hagerstown - the old
market building. The paper states;
"The Council adjourned and i'm
mediately reconvened when Mayor
J. McP. Scott returned the ordinance
approved"
One month later the Globe carried
notice ito the Qualified voters of
Hagerstown," of the coming ''Mu-
nicipal Election" This notice read
in part as follows:
"In pursuance of the provisions of
the Charter of Hagerstown, notice
is herby given to the qualified voters
of said town that an election will be
held in HagerstoWn in conformity
with the requirements of said char
ter, on the fourth Monday of March,
AID. 1913, the same being Monday,
March "a, for the purpose of electlng
.(councilmen here mentioned for
the various wards). On the same
date an election will be held in
Wards Nos. 1, 2, 8, 4, and 5, for and
against the purchase of the interest
of Potomac Lodge, No. 81, Independ-
ent Order of the Odd Fellows, in the
Market House Property in Hagers-
town, Maryland. :" Then fol-
lows the usual detailed description
of the property.
In this same paper, March Is, 1913,
appears a short note concerning one
of the historic ventures of our area,
and one of high interest to me, the
old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
It seems from this note that in the
parts of the year that the canal
could not be used for hauling cargo,
it was at least partly drained, for
this article states that water was be-
ing turned into the canal, to ready
it for the season. 1t said: Canal
men are beginning preparations for
the boating season. Water was turn
ed in and the ditch filled as far as
the stoplock in Cumberland, prepare
tory to filling the levels farther down
the line each day until the waterway
is ready for boats to Georgetown.
Boats will not be loaded for hauling,
however, until in the latter part of
the month.
Although the canal company has
kept a force of men busy since last
fall making all manner of improve
ments some repair work remains to
be attended to. When the canal is
opened for the seasons work it will
be in better shape than it has been
for several years"

Have you ever groWled because
you had to stop and pay toll at the
entrance to a bridge? You should
go back to the past century and try
travelling over our County roads. Of
course you would not go whizzing
down the road like you do now, but
you'd be trailing the good old horse.
So the few miles between the toll
gates would seem just little longer
than the same distance now. lmag-
inc stopping at Cearfoss and paying
toll, then three miles toward Hag-
erstown stopping and paying again.
And in another direction, south from
Cearfoss, there was another toll
gate within three miles.
But the tollgate is rapidly disap-
pearing, except for such highways
as the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Of
course, this turnpike is in reality
nothing but rebirth of the old
method of financing road building.
do not know how far apart most of
the tollgates were, but people did
not travel to Baltimore for spin, !"
and on a short drive they did not en-
counter too many.
Many interesting stories could be
told about incidents that took place
at the tollgates, and because of them.
There was always the person who
thought he should go through free.
One interesting note appeared in the
Evening Globe" of Hagerstown, De-
cember 10, 1913. The short article
was headed:
"TOLLGATE KEEPER HURT IN
ACCIDENT" Automobile Also
Damaged in Collision Just East of
Chewsville."
1t seems that the automobile, driv-
en- by one of the workers of the
Washington County Water Works,
was approaching the tollgate going
west and apparently the driver
thought he was entitled to free pas
sage, so made no effort to stop. The
tollgate keeper, one Michael Bios
sard, was other minded and slam
med down the tollgate, just in time
to catch the automobile. But the re-
suits were not what he may have
expected, for the automobile could
not stop-or at least it did not. The
two stout locust posts on which the
gate was mounted were both broken
off, and the gate was thrown into Mr..
Blossard, badly injuring his arm.
There was considerable damage to
the windshield and headlights of the
automobile.
The tollgate house is rapidly van
ishing too, for they must make way
for the widening of roads. They had
to be right by the edge of the road,
and were usually small houses. A
few of them have been moved back
but mostly they have been torn
down.
Related to the tollgates as means
of supporting the County roads, was
an action by the Mayor and Council
of Hagerstown, told about in a
February Globe, of 1913, and the
light it throws on the condition of
the streets of Hagerstown at that
time. Complaints had been received
about the muddy condition of the
Streets" one resident of George
Street stating that the mud was at
least inches deep in front of his
house. The Council admitted that
there was a general condition of
muddiness all over Hagerstown. But
they complained that water cannot
be secured to flush the streets as
would be desired"
Another complaint heard was that
