S. KUSSART HARVEST Merchants Beaten At Fairhope; Patterson Drops To Avella, 2-1 Failure of Players To Show Up At Contests Necessitates Taking Recruits From Spectators; Jimmy Scripp's Errors In Field Lose Second Series Game. Teams coached by Harry Sickels ran into rough going yesterday when his soccer team, Patterson Supply, was nosed out by Avella 2-1. in an exhibition game there, and his baseball team, the Mer CLASSIFIED T71JT JIBS chants, traveled to Fairhope to lose the second game of the three-game series with the Mon Valley League champs by a 11 to 3 score. In both cases the teams ran into trouble through loss of players-Patterson had to recruit two players from the crowd when Fron-hofer and Kashura failed to show up at Avella, and the Merchants lost their game because Jimmie Scripp, drafted to fill centerfield had four errors.

Sufefrrng possibly fatal injuries when thrown from his sulkey at the 81st Burgettstown Fair races on Saturday, Alden Miller, 50, owner of the Bancroft Stock Farms, near Avella, is in the Washington hospital today with a ruptured kidney and liver. His condition early today was reported as "fair." What is believed to be a world's record for a one-third mile track was established by Delvin Miller, nephew of the injured man, after his uncle was taken to the hospital. Miller drove Margaret Henley in a free-for-all pace to a new pacing track record for Burgettstown. A judge said it was his belief the record would stand as a world mark for the distance.

Miller's time was 2:08 "4 minutes. The accident to the elder Miller occurred in the first heat of 2:25 pace when with the field of six horses only a few feet from the wire, the wheels of Miller's sulkey locked with that of another driver and Miller was pitched to the track. John A. Wilson of Clinton, following Miller closely, swerved to keep from hitting Miller, but the wheel of his rig buckled and he was thrown into the guard rail. It is believed that a wheel running over him caused Miller's injuries, as the horse stepped over him.

Wilson's horse, Buzz Stout, broke away and circled the track three times with a broken shaft cutting into his leg before he stopped because of the injury. The animal was so badly injured he may have to be destroyed. WASHINGTON HI BEATS TRINITY IN INAUGURAL Little Prexies Trounce Coming Monongahela Opponent, 28-0. Trinity High school, which journeys here to meet the Wildcats on October 9, dropped its season's inaugural to Washington High by a 28-0 score before a crowd of 2,800 at the county seat Saturday. Trinity's inexperience was apparent, but they were never once outfought by the heavier Washington team.

Washington had 15 first downs to the Hillers' three, all of which were registered on passes in the last quarter. Washington paved the way for two touchdowns by intercepting passes, marched 60 yards for the third, and got the final one in a 38-yard drive. Watson intercepted a Trinity pass in the opening per- iod and was tackled on his own 38. Line plays brought the first score, with Keith Ross carrying the oval over. Tony Ruffa intercepted a Hiller pass in the second, and on the next play heaved an aerial to Paul Weber who took it on a run over the goal line-Ruff a scored on a plunge to end a 60-yard drive and F.

Drake, burned on the left foot and leg, probably will be released from the hospital tomorrow, but Decker and McGannon both were reported in serious condition. The blast and fire started when fumes from gasoline used to remove bandages after practice reached a small heating stove in the shower room.

A section of the floor on which the six were standing was swept by flames. Dahlbeck and several others fell on the slippery floor as they dashed for the door and were burned AMERICAN LEAGUE Results Yesterday New York 19; St. Louis 7. New York 13; St. Louis 1.

(Copyright by the author. Not to be reproduced, in whole or in part, in any other publication.) The McMahan Family A pioneer settler in Westmoreland County was Hugh McMahan. A native of Ireland, he married Rosella Comiski, and their son, Robert McMahan, was born in County Down, Ireland, in 1811. Hugh McMahan emigrated with his family to the United States, and in 1816, he purchased one hundred acres of land, at $19 per acre, in Westmoreland County, Pa. He died on his farm in this county, and his wife died at Monongahela, Pa.

Robert McMahan married Elizabeth (known as Betsey by her relatives and friends), daughter of Samuel Reeves, owner of extensive farm lands on the Monongahela river in Westmoreland County. Their children were Martha, Rosella, Hugh, Nancy, John, Mary, and Robert McMahan. A Democrat in politics, and a member of the Roman Catholic church, Robert McMahan was a farmer. The Monongahela Valley Directory for 1859 -'60 (by Geo. H.

Thurston, p. 249) mentions the name of Robert McMahan as a farmer, owning 200 acres of land, on the right bank of the Monongahela River, Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, Pa. (See also Warner's Historv of Allegheny jCounty, Vol. 2, p. 786).

An excellent idea of the owners of farm lands, along the right bank of the Monongahela river, Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, is obtained from an old atlas (published in 1867, by A. Pomeroy, at Philadelphia), of which the writer has a copy. Below Gibsonton, the farms included those of the J. Steele estate, adjoining lands of T. Reeves and Samuel Reeves.

D. Miller had a farm there, oposite old Lock No. 4. The Miller farm, about this time, or a little later, was rented to Luke Beazell, who lived thereon, with his sons, Lemuel and John, and his daughters, Susie and Mary. Manasseh Reeves, and his brothers Samuel and Jesse, resided here and were prominent farmers.

The river frontage at the present Monessen, and for a considerable dis tance back from the river, in the great bend which the Mononga-' hela makes at this point, was owned by Hugh McMahan. The old Rutan farm lay below the McMahan land. Samuel Rutan, who married Mary Teeple, on March 11, 1819, lived for many years on this farm in Rostraver Township, just above the old Brown Ferry, before it became the property of W. J. Manown.

Alexander McMahan Alex. McMahan at one time con trolled the greater portion of the land upon which the present city of Monessen stands. He was born on July 17, 1843, and in 1867 married Miss Ella Daly, a sister of Capt. T. L.

Daly, superintendent of Gibsonton Mills. After his marriage, Mr. McMahan resided upon his farm in Rostraver Township. His family included eleven children. From injuries sustained in an accident, late in the year 1909, Mr.

McMahan died. His wife survived him, as also did their children, as follows: Mrs. Z. Towers, McMahan; Mrs. George Lange, Belle Vernon; Mrs.

Ernest Fellows New Kensington; Hugh McMahan, in Alabama; Lafayette McMahan, Monessen; and Misses Lillian, Nellie, Beatrice, and R. Eloise McMahan, at home, in McMahan borough. One of the sons of Alexander McMahan was a member of the firm of McMahan McMahan, and another had been in the employ of the Jones Laughlin Steel Company. Town of Fordham Having decided to found a town on his farm in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, Alexander McMahan had it plotted and named Fordham, on account of its location across the river from Lock No. 4 of the slackwater system of the Monongahela river.

Charles H. Read Son, of Pittsburgh, assisted in the effort to boom the place, but the town venture was not a success. In 1895, Mr. McMahan embarked in the real estate business.

Inquire 441 Carson St. 10-12p Gleaning no-hit Frankie Scripp's brother, Jim, from the crowd of spectators, the Merchants played under handicaps to lose the second game of their three-game series with Fairhope there yesterday by an 11 to 3 count. Jimmy Smith limited the Firemen to six hits, but they were combined with four errors by Jim Scripp at his centerfield position to give the Fairhope crew a five-run rally in the last inning which completely blasted the Merchants hopes of winning. Stan Baddock hurled for Fair-hope, giving the locals five hits while fanning six and walking two- Smith struck out seven and also walked two. The locals scored one in the first and followed with two more in the fhird.

Falrhone tallied in the first, two in the fourth tie up the and oi win with three runs in the fifth, besides the five runs in the eighth which made the score so lop-sided. The box-score was incomplete, but the Merchant lineup was: D. Smith, If; Perchak, ss; F. Scripp, lb; J- Koval, Sb; Anders, rf; J. Scripp, cf; Grant, 2b; Bovac, and J.

Smith, For Fairhope: Walters ss; Guid-der cf; Grant, 3b; Baron, lb; Bad-dock, Barker, Russell, 2b; Coates rf; Barker If, and Beeler, DRAGONS WIN OPENER FROM MIKES 13-0 Warholic Scores In Third On Pass; Strychalski Tallies On Punt. Donora's Dragons, touted as one of the outstanding teams in the Big Six this year, played dull, and at times, stupid, football in defeating a scrappy Carmichaels team, 13-0, in their opening game at the American Legion field Saturday. Donora's heavy veteran team was slightly crippled before the game by pre-season injuries, which may have accounted for their listless play. They were held scoreless throughout the first half, although they made a first down inside Carmichaels' ten in the second period and were unable to score. Donora made 11 first downs to Carmichaels two and gained a total of 242 yards to the Mikes 44- Tlit-Dragons completed three out of nine passes, while the visitors had two oat of 12.

The Mikes made 30 yanis by rushing, while Donora accounted for 184 yards through the line. In the third quarter Warholic, right half, took a flip from Badzik to score the Dragons' first touchdown from the Mike 11. Heslep, left tackle, place-kicked the extra point. The score culminated a drive from the Mike 45 in which accounted for 20 yards, his longest run being a 13-yard sweep around left end. In the final quarter Carmichaels was unsuccessful in two pass attempts and Mayes got off a bad punt which traveled the width of the field on the Mike 45- Strychalski, Dragon half, raced over, picked up the bounding oval and had a clear path down the left side of the field for a touchdown.

Heslep made -the extra point by placement, but Donora was penalized 15 yards for holding. Strychalski tried a pass for the extra point, but was downed in his attempt by the Mike line. Hcrbik, left half for the visitors, won the admlfation of the fans with his all-around playing ability.

COKERSUPSET CUBS BY 20-0 California Drops Opener By Touchdown Plays Around Terminals. California's Cubs lost their opening game of the season to an aggressive Ellsworth-Cokeburg team, 20 to 0, on Saturday as- the Cokers completely outplayed the Big Six team to register one of the season's first upsets. The Cokers pounded down to the six-yard line early in the first quarter, and Tokar dashed around left end for the remaining distance and the first touchdown. The second tally came in the third quarter when Lese skirted right end for 15 yards and a score-Talbot had the most thrilling run of the afternoon in the fourth period, when taking the ball in mid field, he galloped around right end, weaved through the entire California team and went 52 yards for the last six-pointer.

By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Sept- 14 (UP) Three big league baseball records were scraped today pitching, slugging and attendance marks going into the discard.

Most sensational of the three performances was 17-year-old Bob Feller's striking out 17 men. The Cleveland Indian rookie topped by two Rube Waddell's record of 15 which has stood in the American League for 28 years, and tied the major league record of 17 set by Dizzy Dean in 1933. The New York Yankees blasted out eight home runs against the St. Louis Browns to run their season total to 175, which eclipsed the major league mark of 173 set in 1932. The National League attendance record went into the scrap heap when 64,417 spectators storm ed the Polo Grounds to see the Giants and St.

Louis Cardinals divide a double bill. Feller, former Van Meter, schoolboy who startled the baseball world when he made his major league debut August 23 and fanned 15 batsmen to tie Waddell's mark, showed that his initial performance was not a "flash in the pan" when he came back Labor Day to strike out 10, but yesterday's achievement assured him of a lasting place in baseball's hall of fame. Feller struck out at least one batter in every inning except fourth and he retired the side on strikes alone in the first and sixth as the Indians whipped the Philadelphia Athletics, 5-2, in the first game of a double header. 9tSp By RAY L. EICHER THAT ROSTRAVER TOUCHDOWN 1 Some of the fans who witnessed the Monessen-Rostrayer game at Monessen a week ago, seem to think that the Township lads won the game clearly and cleanly.

Our informer stated that Belle Vernon and other district fans at the game saw the play from a good angle and that there was absolutely no interference of any kind when the ball was snapped and only after the referee saw the Rostraver boy going for the goal-line did he blow his whistle. The several fans who condemned the official for his indiscretion said there "was something screwy about the play." And well 'admit that it-would have looked bad for the Big Six team to have lost to the huskies' from the township school. But then, maybe' the official did sec some reason for calling the play back; that's his privilege. However, we do agree with our informer in that it should have been called back at once.

Lafayette, (UP) Purdue's 1936 football hopes were staggered today by a tragic shower room explosion that took the life a veteran lineman and dis abled five other players for an indefinite portion of the Big Tun season. The disaster virtually wrecked a Boilermaker varsity Coach Noble Kizer already had admitted lacked the reserve strength to drive through a stormy eight-game card- Carl E. pahlbeck, 25. outstanding senior guard from Lyndonville, died of burns he received in the explosion Saturday.
