Mangrum, who had trouble with
his clubs during the winter, ap-

last week he beat Ted Knoll in a

those fat exhibition contracts. But
he did take down top money in the
S m n lie Invitation event and
played well to tie for 18th place
in the Masters.
Nelson, Hogan's boyhood rival
who retired from tournament play
nearly a decade ago, has slowly
been emerging from retiremen,
this spring. Starting with the Mas
tiers, he has played in four tourna'
ments, and he showed some Of
his old-time form and accuracy
when he tied for third in the For
Worth Colonial Invitation.
Snead, of course, is supposed t.
be hexed in the Open and he
looked that way when Hogan pulled

shape to win again, in the US.

In spite of his recent illness and
his protests that he can't win, Ben
still will be the favorite when the
first round begins June II. But
if you have to pick someone else
as the winner, there are - other
former Open champions in the
field-and the big man who never
won, Sam Snead.
And at least four, possibly five,
of the ex-champions must be con-
coded a good chance to repeat.
Taking them in order, they are
Julius Boros (1952), Cary Middle
coff (1949), Lew Worsham (1947),
Lloyd Mangrum (1946) and Byron
Nelson (1939).
Boros managed to break through
the Hogan monopoly in Ben's home
state two years ago. The same
year he won the Tam O'ShanteI
world championship and led all
the pros in money winnings.

This is the seth of a series of
articles dealing auith spots of local
beauty and historic interest about
Which little is kno,On or rightly APP
preciated.
THE BATTLE OF MONOCACY'
One of the fatal blunders of the
South during the Civil War was it's
all out, abortive effor to capture
Washington. This ambition was at
tempted even when the Confeder-
ates were actually retreating after
their Christening in the battle of
Gettysburg.
The Battle of Monocacy, fought
at Frederick Junction, three miles
south of Frederick, opened with the
North's General Lew Wallace on
the south bank of the Monocacy
with 16 cannons in an effort to
block the approach of the determin-
ed South. Completely outnumbered
and extremely low in ammunition
after desultory fighting in the
Middletown Valley region, General
Wallace deployed his men up,
stream, from what is today the
highway bridge, placing cannon at
the most strategic places.
The South's General Evans, hav-
ing abandoned all his cannon in the
hasty retreat at daylight on July
8, 1864, attacked savagely, but was
beaten off. Realizing that discre-
ton was the better part of valor
he desisted until reinforcements
under the command of General
Early and Mapor Gordon could
join him.
Upon their arrival, with formi-
dable force, $500 men were sent
downstream with orders to cross
the Monocacy at what is now Bal
lenger Greek; meanwhile General
Breckenridge was to occupy Wal
lace with his cavalry of about 500
men; Major Gordon was to return
up the river, advance on the Fed
erals right and try to overlap it if
main body of troops, was to be
made simultaneously by General
Evans.
The onslaught was met with a
determined, last-ditch Federal re-
sistance, General Evans, as well as
several of his regimental COM
manders losing their lives. This
threw the South into confusion
bordering on panic, but did not
check their advance.
Vastly outnumbered, the North
finally had to give way. Many,
many dead, wounded and dying lit
tered the banks of Bush Creek
which is about thirty feet wide at
the scene of the battle. So profuse

To anyone who has worked in
the office at Glenmont Elementary
School, since the opening of the
new building, the following is truly
"front page news"
The Glenmont PTA is giving to
the school an intercom system, by
which teachers in the new building
(some distance up and down stairs
from the office in the old build
ing) can be contacted by, and can
contact, the school iffice. l happen
ed to be the only one in the office
one day, when phone cab came
for teacher in the new building.
The lady on the other end of the
, wire had to wait Is minutes for
the teacher to answer, simply be-
cause l walked to find the teach
err and had to go to nearly
every room in the new building
to find her.
With the new system, if a
youngster is sick, the teacher,
without leaving her room, can con-
tact the office for help if the of
flee key is open. Mr.. Butcher, the
principal, can make announce
ments to all rooms in the new
building at one time, instead of
mimeographing notes to go to
them. All in all, the nearly 5000
the PTA is spending for the pro-
ject will eventually save many
times that amount in hours saved.
Mr.. Ellis T. McMullen, chairman
of this special committee, Mr..
Wayne Callan, and Mr.. Percy
Hipsley, president of the PTA,
comprise the committee working
on the intercom system.
The group expects to have the
new system installed by February
/. Fathers in the PTA and other
members of the Glenmont COM
munity-many of whom have tele-
phone company installation and re-
pair experfence--will act as vol
untary installers, thus saving con-
siderable expense on the overall
job.
According to Mr.. Hipsley, the
present PTA would very much like
to also install, before the year is
out, a microphone-speaker system
for the stage in the assembly hall.
At present, committee chairmen
have to shout their reports in or
der to be heard, and youngsters
performing on the stage are hard
to hear in the audience. If this
project cannot be undertaken by
the present PTA, it will be among
recommendations to be passed on
to next years group.

General Early succeeded in get
ting within half dozen miles of
Washington but was forced to re-
treat up the Shenandoah Valley.
EIe triumphantly carried with him
about 5000 horses and 1000 cattle

Later, Early's cavalry made a
raid into Pennsylvania and burn
ed Chambersburg when the Penn
sylvanians would not comply with
their demands.
On April 8, 1865, at the end Of

eral Lee, surrendered at Appomat-
