Many parts Of Yugoslavia
were hard hit again in 1856
by severe droughts, this after
the same sectors suffered
through one Of the worst win
ters In the history of Europe.
And with this the writer
concludes his background re-
view of Yugoslavia, the pur-
pose Of which was to acquaint
American and Canadian born
readers Of the Zajednicar with
at least some Of the more i'm
portant historical, economic
and other aspects Of the
country.

kept his promise of sending
customers to Vlaho and the
young man was kept quite
busy. He was now happy in
his new surroundings, 50 hap
py that he even learned to
speak fairly good German and
save money.
Seeks Prof. TojatH
But Vlaho soon became
restless. He felt that a real
artist could not 60 on to
greatness simply by making
paintings from submitted pho
tographs.
He now decided that he had
to learn art If he was to be a
great star.
One day he ran into a friend
who informed him that a gen
taesnan by the name Of Prof.
TojatM was a real artist, one
who taught art and painted
on the sida.
The artist In question
had come 10 San Franeisco
from Rome and was a.
ready well known for his
work.
Not long after that vlaho
found himself ia the famous
Morris and Schwab store.
Here he saw Prof. Tojatti's
painting Mother and Child"
on exhibition. He liked the
painting so much that he de-
cided to call on the man who
executed it.
On his way, he kept Won
dering what the Professor
would charge for the lessons
he wanted to take.

NEXT: - The meeting with
Prof. TOjatt; Vlaho argues that
America is a good school, but
only for businessmen; he de-
cides to take up art in Europe.

To Chalk Up 9th Straight Win

games scheduled before the
end Of the season.
Poolesville kept the Trojan
lead down to four runs on their
last encounter three weeks ago,
and were not expected to improve
the position much Monday, the
Indians have still to win their
first game this season.
Meeting Northwood tomorrow,
Damascus Tuesday, and Richard
Montgomery next Thursday,
Gaithersburg will have to play
at fun throttle to stay up there
on the unbeaten level.
Neither team played good ball
on Tuesday last week when the
Trojans beat Northwood 1868.
Bobby Costello pitched the first
three innings for the Troians, af-
ter which Jim LeCompte took
over. In one of his poorest SEES
sions this year, LeCompte pitched
to only three men and walked all
three before he was taken out
and replaced by Mike Norris.
Norris, whose pitching reserve
has been a mainstay of the Tro-
jams in the last few games, saved
the day, giving up only one hit.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1958-05-22

Gaithersburg's scoring was
headed by Tommy Johnson with
a triple, and Bobby Costello with
five runs batted in.
Northwood pitchers Ager and
Dougherty struck out fifteen
Trojans in what was a rather UNI
distinguished game in all re-
spects.
In their 81 win over Walter
Johnson Thursday. the Trojans
played a much better game,
pitched by LeCompte and relief
pitcher Norris. Jim LeCompte
gave up one hit, which was ruled
wild, while Mike Norris also had
one hit.
With two men on base and two
men out, Tommy Johnson made
difficult catch at centerfield 10
seal victory for Gaithersburg.
Norris's fine pitching in the
second half of the season has
solved a tactical problem for
Coach Arson Wilcox. With Mike
on the mound, LeCompte is avail
able for 1st base and Costello
for shortstop, an ideal combina-
tion when coupled with Larry
Porterfield, Larry Watkins and
Tommy Johnson fielding.

Spectacular
Damascus Win


With only eight of the %
runners eligible to compete in
last weeks Class "B' and
&C" County track meet at
Northwood, Damascus had to
throw in two managers to
make up ten men but won the
meet by five points.
The cause of the manpower
shortage was directive from the
Board of Education barring any
boy who plays on a schools base
ball team from competing. With
Damascus having a small com
plement of boys, IA of the track
stars double in the ball team and
they were automatically ex.
cluded.
More than half of the Hornets
points were scored by Woodrow
Ward, virtually a one-man team.
A triple winner, he set a new
county record of $50 seconds in
the quarter-mile. With 40 yards
to go, he was so far ahead of the
field that coach Leon Swart
slowed him down to a trot to
conserve him for the next event.
