CAP FORMATION SLATED FOR LOCAL DISCUSSION

Considerable interest in avia- ton and the formation of a Civil Air Patrol units in Palmer has been indicated the past few months.
 Next Thursday October 10, a meeting is being planned for all adult persons throughout the en- tire valley area who are inter ested in any phase of the CAP programs. Discussions will in- clude the formation of an adult unit and further discussion on the formation of a cadet group for the younger people. The adult program is open to persons Fl years of age and older; the cadet program is geared for the age l4-21 years group. Representa- tives from the Anchorage CAP groups will attend the meeting.
 The meeting is being held to determine how much interest there is in the CAP in the val ley area. At least eight adult per- sons are needed to form senior group.
 The Civil Air Patrol is civilian auxiliary of the U. s. Air Force and has been very active in Alas ka in search and rescue work. The first six months of 1857 ap- proximately 25 evacuations and search missions were flown by the Alaska Wing. The Alaska Wing is authorized by CAP to perform mercy evacuations at the request of the Air Rescue Service, which constitutes a large percentage of the CAP missions. This is necessary due to the lack or roads and hospital facilities in small communities in Alaska whose only means of tranSp0rta- ton is by air.
 The flight hours recorded by CAP during the first half of 1857 are almost double those flown during the same period last year.
 Mai. Gen. Walter R. Agee, USAF, who has been assigned by the Secretary of the Air Force to command the CAP, is enpha- tic in his praise of CAPS impress sive search and rescue record.
 "As career Air Force flying officer I had the opportunity to observe dedication to duty. self sacrifice and courage denonstrat- ed many times in many ways. In these terms the volunteers of CAP have few peers. Serving without pay of any kind, these men and women consistently per form this valuable service will lingly many times at the risk of their own lives flying under the most difficult conditions and in all kinds of weather. am dis tinctly proud of my assignment as their national commander"
 Another objective of the CAP is to further aviation education and aviation interest in each community.
 Although the meetings are be- ing held in Palmer, it was point ed out that all persons living within the valley area, including Wasilla, Sutton, Butte and other sections are cordially invited to attend the October 10 meeting. Attending the meeting will in no way obligate the individual to participate in the program, it was pointed out.

B-CC, Spartans, Blair Lead ALL County Squad
Of Fools and Kizs4s

A small bungalow in an old
er section of Silver Spring
houses one of the county's
most adopted sons - Doc
White, professional athlete,
dentist, actor, teacher and
coach.
Doc (christened Guy Harris
White) has lived on Glynn Ross
Road in Silver Spring since 1888
but few of the old timers know
of his fame. Doc now Is spent
IA years in the Major Leagues
and was one of the real good
southpaw pitchers around the
turn of the century.
Born in Southwest Washington
in 1879 he got his start in the Big
Leagues as a college pitcher with
Georgetown University In 1900.
1t was the custom then for Major
League teams to play college
teams in exhibition games before
the start of the regular season,
and the old Philadelphia Nation
ais latched onto the pencil-slim
southpaw in this manner. Signing
after a spring exhibition game
Doc won IS games for the Phil
lies that year In 1902 he won Is
more and jumped to the Chicago
White Sox of the then new Amer
lean League in '03 and finished
out his career with that club.
Only Series With Hitless Wonders
In '06 Chicago, dubbed the "Hit.
less Wonders" won 10 straight
games in the process of coping
the American League crown. Doc
pitched six of those 10 games
and allowed only eight runs.
Nobody on the team hit 300.
That's why they called us the
"hitless wonders" Doc explained.
1t was a crosstown World Sc
ries that year as the White Sox
took on the Cubs. Doc won the
deciding game of the series after
he had pitched seven innings -
allowing but one hit ~ in a los
ing cause the day before.
Beginning with '03 the cagey
southpaw won successfully II, 16,
Is, 81 and 10 games for the Sox.
Guy Harris White graduated
from Georgetown in '02 but after
hanging out his dental single for
four winters in a row decided
there was more money in base
ball than in dentistry and gave
up the trade.

II set up an office when 1 was
a young ballplayer," Doc says,
but business wasn't good. 1 fl
nally discovered why. A fellow
In the same building was pulling
teeth for so cents!"
Doc went on the stage for a
while and along with Ring Lard
ner composed a few ballads for
his fine baritone voice. One of
the favorites was called Little
Puffs of Smoke, Goodnight" Doc
wrote the music and Lardner the
words.
After his playing days, Doc re-
turned to the Washington area
and served % years as teacher
and coach in the District School
system, Is at Wilson Teachers
College nov D. c. Teachers Col
lege) and 10 at old Central High
School.
Doc retired several years ago
to his flower gardens in Silver
Spring where he lives with his
daughter, Marian. His wife died
several years ago. He has a son,
Martin, who lives In Massachu-
sets.
Some of Docs records still
stand.g In college he pitched
against Holy Cross and struck out
the first nine batters to face him.
His control was fabulous. In '07
he pitched 65 consecutive innings
before giving up a base on balls.
In 48 games that season he walk
ed an average of one a game.
During his career he pitched 50
shutouts and his number one vic
tim at the plate was Ty Cobb. He
set another record of five consec-
utive shutouts.
Doc thinks that baseball is just
as good, college and pro, as it
was in his day but that the lively
ball has changed the game.
"The public likes it, it's all
right he says, when we used TO
play we played for one run, sacri.
flee, push 'em along. It's better
to look at now with all those big
hitters, but its hard on the pitch.

First Team,
By George Bragaw
Sports Editor

Bi-County League Cham
pion Bethesda-Chevy Chase
captured five first team berths
to lead the 1857 Sentinel
Maryland News All-County
Football team.
The Barons were closely fol-
lowed by undefeated Walter
Johnson and Montgomery Blair
who nailed down four spots each.
Gaithersburg captured three
starting assignments.
The teams were picked by the
Sentinel and the Maryland News
in cooperation with high school
coaches throughout the county.
The offensive unit, led the out
standing performers Of the year,
Tackle Jim LeCompte of Gathers
burg and Fullback Kenny Smith
of B-CC, boasts a 177.pound line
and 175-pound backfield.
The defensive unit averages 1874
pounds in the line and 165 pounds
in the backfield.
BetheSda's Jack Schmidtman
and Mike Reece, side by side all
year, remain together on the
team. The hard-charging pair is
coupled with Kenny Smith who
needs no introduction on the Of
fensive unit. Pete Cook and Jim
Carone, hard tacklers who like to
meet the opposition on the line
of scrimmage are in the defensive
backfield.
Nelson, Hart, Schwartz on
Offense
Walter Johnson placed sticky
fingered Hap Nelson, and vicious
little Cordell Hart-the smallest
man on the squad at 142 pounds
in the offensive line. Rick
Schwartz who had an average of
better than 100 yards a game is
in the backfield. Red-haired Bill
Maury fires up the defense.
Don Wright, a good blocker in
side and particularly down field,
and Blair's all-around man Tom
my Brown represent the Blazers
on the offensive team. Tough
little Charlie Pryor and miracle
pass defender, Barry Goss, finish
out the Blair contingent.
Jim LeCompte, who doubles as
president of the Gaithersburg
student body when not playing
football, teams with Speedster
Warren Schwab on the offensive
unit while all around end and
the county's best place kicker,
Eric Hurlebaus, is on the defense.
Wheaton placed pass receiver
Tom Anderson and dependable
Fullback Bill Britt on the squad.
Big Russ Mullican, one of three
juniors on the squad, holds down
a defensive end post representing
Richard Montgomery. Sherwood
and Northwood share the defen-
sive tackle posts with Arthur
Shaw and Russ Sellers respec-
lively while fire-plug-hke William
Jackson of Carver plants himself
at defensive guard.

Docs top salary was $4,000 in
1910 and he must look with envy
at the salaries of today.
Doc is up and around now after

his activity for many months.

Jud coached the Barons from
