The brazen courtship which The Sun-

have been carrying on for some years must

both papers. First we tell our readers how
good the Independent is and then the In

must bewilder folks who think newspapers
should be at each other's throats consis.

The great Baseball Team ANE of
1938 is solyed.
Pred (Sherlock Holmes) Welsh has i
dentified alk the players in the old photo-
graph which was reproduced in The Post
a month ago.
Ever since we printed the old picture
we've been hearing from people who thot
they knew the players. Several times we
received lists which recognized all but
The end of!
the race was very close. Fred Welsh |
got under the tape just a few hours be-
fore Ralph Rood, who also had the cor-
rect identification.
Mr. Welsh and, Mr.
the baseball players in ‘the picture were:
First row: Claude Shaver, Lew Reese,
Bob | Frailey.
Second row: Charlie “Take”
Lloyd Shaver, Harley Misson, Art Mont-
ross and Tom Reese.
Last row: Nesbitt Garinger, Bill Ock-
enhouse, Russell Morris and Ed Evans.
The picture was taken about 1917, Mr.
Welsh believes. He must have received
some belated satisfaction from being the
one to identify the players. A player on
the team, he was supposed to have been
in the picture, but he couldn't get around
that day.
——
It was strange that Ralph Rood should
have been the one to submit the only
other correct and complete identification.
About the time the picture was taken Mr.
Welsh and Mr. Rood were playing on
opposing teams, although both nines were
‘from Dallas. Had they arrived at our
office at the same time we should prob-
ably have been treated to one of the fin-
est sessions of reminiscences we could i
magine.
As it was we succeeded in holding Mr.
Welsh long enough to hear a few tales
which he had heard from old-timers and
had added to his collection of local lore.
One of his stories we had never heard
before. It concerned his father, who was
engineer on the first locomotive which
travelled along the tracks which now are
used by the street cars. That line was
built as a rival to the railroad and some
difficulty was experienced in getting a
right of way through Dallas.
The big obstacle was the old Odd Fel
lows’ building (forerunner of the present
structure) which stood directly in the
path of the tracks.
ed to run the tracks over the spot which
was taken by the porch. But the owners
refused to budge an inch in their decision
not to alter the structure.
Blocked at every turn,
with directness typical of industry in that |
the promoters,
era, decided to solve the problem in their |
own way. One night Mr. Welsh’s father
rolled a locomotive full speed up: the com-
pleted track and dammed into the ‘Odd
Fellows” porch.

Representing motorists who have com-

Center Hill Road, Dallas, Wyoming Val
ley Motor Club this week took steps to
have the section from Lake Street to the
railroad taken over by the State Depart-
ment of Highways, a step which would
settle a controversy of many years dura-
tion.
The dividing line between Dallas Bor-
ough and Dallas Township, Center Hill
Road has been the cause of a number of
disputes and the question of responsibility
for its maintenance has even provoked
law suits. Several months ago the motor
club threatened to have the constable re-
turn the highway as a nuisance.
The section maintained by Dallas Bar:
ough is not in bad condition. Norman
Johnstone, secretary of Wyoming Valley
Motor Club, visited the highway this week
with an official of the State Highway De-
MOTO
the supervisors of Dallas Township peti’
tion the Highway Department two-tenths

THE LOW DOWN
from
HICKORY GROVE
—
It seems like we just naturally
crave to be bamboozled. You go any
place, like at a circus or a fair where
some nimble stranger has 3 shells
and one pea, and there is a crowd
around him. And we bet the gentle
man we know which shell the pea
is under—and we go home without
our shirt.
But if a feller you know and have
known before has a bank, and he
asks folks to put their money there
for safe keeping and interest it is not
exciting enough.
A person with some’ common sense
idea about business don’t get to first
base with his ideas. He don’t even
get up to bat. He is an old fogey,
and we don’t want him around.
But if some duck comes along with
something cracked, but new, and he
says, boys, I have here what the
country needs, we give him 3 cheers.
And the gent pulls out a vial-—a new
elixir—that will cure everything. It
sounds great.
So he shakes up his bottle and an-
noints us, and lo and behold—ijust
the same old medicine—and we mos-
ey home again, half naked.
