SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March 30
Manager Charles (Gabby) Street, an
imaginative person, can't quite stretch
his vision to actually seeing his ST

Points to Batting Power.
One of the veteran catcher's many
gnarled fingers pointed to his tentative
opening day lineup of eight gents
who clubbed out a composite average
Of 312 for 1887.

the second slot in his hitting lineup.
Great pull hitter-that boy. I'll
lead off with Col Buster Mills, very
fast, and then have Sullivan up there
to send him around with his pull hit
ting This boy Sullivan is smart-a
baseball student. He's going to be
great-like his dad"
Street was worried because there
wasn't one really weak hitter in his
lineup!

Gabby wasn't foolin'. His Browns
were out there smashing out 20 hits
for 80 bases and an 1873 win over a
tough Tulsa team of the Texas

Gabby believes he has winning

"And If a guy can throw hard, he
can pitch. I'm counting heavily on
Jim Weaver, Buck Newsom, Oral

INJURY J|NX HARD
ON CH|SOX, TIGERS
Loss of App|ing, Stratton

Severe Blows.
BY the Assoeia ted Press.

CHICAGO, March 3O.-Baseball's
biggest bogeyman, the injury jinx, is
on the prowl-ahead of schedule.
In sharp contrast to the luck which
followed major league clubs through
the early stages of their 1887 con-
ditioning campaigns, this seasons
spring training grinds already finds
two clubs badly crippled by training
accidents
Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Chi
cago White Sox can't be blamed for
worrying. When Luke Appling suffered
fractured leg last Sunday sliding
into second base, Dykes lost the serv-
ices of his cleanup batsman and one
of the best shortstops in the business
Apping will be out of action at least
six weeks.
Stratt0n Out Some Time.
In the same game, Monty Stratton
of the Sox injured an arm and the Sox
pitching ace probably won't be able
to uncork his fast one for two or more
weeks.
Down in Florida, the jinx which has
pursued Detroit for several seasons ap-
parently still is trailing the Tigers.
Manager Mickey Cochrane, just about
ready to give up hope that Schoolboy
Rowe's arm will do the cause any good
had begun to build his pitching staff
around slender, efficient Tommy
Bridges.
Then Tommy aggravated an old in
jury to his salary f1ipper, and probably
won't be able to work until May is.
Cubs Hard Hit in 1887.
A year ago, up to May 30, no serious
accidents had occurred to worry the
managers. But Nhe law of averages
caught up with them when the season
opened. Joe Di Maggie of the New
York Yankees didn't get into the OPEN
ing game because of tonsil trouble. On
the Chicago Cubs bench with sore arms
were Tex Carleton and Curt Davis.
Bridges and Rowe of Detroit were i'll,
and sinus trouble was plaguing Jimmy
Foxx of Boston's Red Sox. Bob Feller
hurt his arm in his opening game, and
soon after Larry French of the Cubs
suffered bad hand bruise, to mention
just few bad breaks.

Leonard Is Likely to Join

Defeated, 13 to q.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

LAKELAND. Fla, March 30.-The
Mats spring training camp is not run
ming on schedule, in case anybody
didn't know, and Messrs. Clark Grif-
fifth and Bucky Harris are shaking
their heads fearfully.
BY now, according to the brilliant
picture painted by Mr. Griffith during
the winter, those two left-handed
Groves of l938-Joe Krakauskas and
Ken Chase-were to have been terrific
and to have won jobs as starting
pitchers. BY now the betting odds on
the Yankees were supposed to have
fallen with dull thud.
That wasn't the prospect today as
the Mats invaded Lakeland again to
play the Detroit Tigers Frankly,
Chase and Krakauskas are not among
Harris first four pitchers. There is
some doubt as to whether they will be
starters this year Already Bucky is
looking around for somebody else to
team up with Yves Ferrell, Jimmy
De Shong and Monte Weaver. It
may even be that Emil (Dutch)
Leonard will be the No. pitcher.
Griff Admits Its DISCOURAGE
Chase was the latest of the southpaw
twins to work. Ken opened yesterday
against Columbus in Winter Haven
and departed after four innings, dur
ing Which the Redbirds nicked him
for a 4-3 lead. The Grifs eventually
won, 13 to T.
Even Griffith. staunch champion Of
the two kids, admitted 1T was discour-
aging.
They're not impossible, however"
qualified the old gent The thing for
Harris to do is to keep pitching them
regularly. They must learn to get
the ball over the plate"
Chase now has pitched in three
games, two against minor league op-
position. In y innings he has given
up IL runs, eight bases on balls and
IA base hits. That isn't winning
pitching in the American League.
krakky has worked in two games,
one against a major league club. In
seven innings the bow-legged Lithua-
man has given up six runs, nine bases
on balls and eight hits:
Harris is determined to carry out
Griff's orders. Already Bucky has
nominated Krakauskas to pitch a full
nlne-inning game on Friday against
Chattanooga. If Krakky lasts he will
become the first Nat to go the route.

Thousands were in line by 8 o'clock,
and when the doors were opened
there was such q rush that scores

oped that there were only about
200 hats to start with and that
most of them had been disposed
Of by the clerks to their own wives,
friends and other people with pull
before the doors had even opened.
I witnessed a similar incident at
q sale of cloth for mems suits In a
department stores. When the
people In line looked through the
glass doors they saw that favored
customers, smuggled in through the

pick of the pitifully small lot. A

effect that both the customers in
side and those outside were sent
away by the police empty-handed.
The manager Of the leading Mos

of his assistants were recently

ment. If such things can 60 on

Judging from what I have seen in
Russia time and again, I wouldn't t
be surprised at all If there were
large shipments of vegetables rotting
away in some way stations because
Of the disorganized railroad system.
How can Russia hope to win war
in the West and in the Far East on
two fronts separated by distance Of
5000 miles, with the immense task
of transporting men and materials
involved, If her transportation facil-
tiles are so weak that the cities can't
even be supplied with vegetables in
peace time?
Difficulties Of Shoppers:
But to return to the subject Of
clothing shortage. Why should
there be shortage of clothing in q
country so rich in every form Of
natural resources as Russia? I will
give few instances of the difficult
ties encountered by shoppers in
Moscow, where conditions are far
better than anywhere else in the
Soviet Union.

that new store would be opened

outlawing Of private commerce has
only led to various forms of primi-

overcoats and shoes as a bonus for
speeding up their work and people
who survive hours of standing in

something, resell clothing to others
at fantastic prices.

Victor Fourth Time in a

The Blue Ridge Transportation
Company was declared winner of
the Silver Award in nationwide
maintenance contest sponsored by

ton" and was awarded the tro-
ply at the annual convention of
the National Association of Motor
Bus Operators held in Chicago.
The award offered in this ma
lonal maintenance contest, spon-
sored annually by ''Bus Transpor-
tation," is the outstanding recog-
milton for which all bus operators
IN the United States strive. 1t was
started in 1880. The purpose of
the contest is to promote greater
efforts in the maintenance and up
Keep of equipment to assure
greater safety and security for
bus travellers.
The Blue Ridge Transportation
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1938-09-30

Company was organized in 1923,
and grew into a great transporta-
ton system from a consolidation
OF a number of Independent bus
companies serving the territory
adjacent to Hagerstown. Today it
operates city, inter-city, and inter
State service in Maryland, Penn
sylvania, Virginia. Ohio, West
Virginia and the District of Co
lumbia.
Along with it's affilates, Blue
Ridge, owned and operated, dur
ing 1887, more than 100 super
modern buses, having an average
seating capacity of 80 passengers.
These buses in that year, travelled
more than 100000 miles, an av-
erage per bus of approximately
$4,000 miles. The distance cover
ed by each bus is equivalent to
two trips around the world at the
equator, with a trip from Mary
land to Siberia thrown in for good
measure. In that travel more than
100000 gallons Of gasoline were
consumed.
The main shop and repair cen
ter of Blue Ridge Lines is located
in this city, which is the junction
Of its principal routes. The north
south route extends from Winches-
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1938-09-30

ter, Va, to Harrisburg, Pa, and
the east-west route from Balti-
more and Washington to Pitts
burgh and Cleveland. This shop
is equipped to perform practically
all the maintenance and repair
work necessary in any bus opera
ton. A secondary garage, for
storage and minor service and re-
pair work, is located in Frederick
Md. The company has arranged
through associated companies for
emergency repairs and service at
strategic points along it's routes.
Principle among these are Pitts
burgh, Washington. Pa, Washing
ton, D. c.. Harrisburg and Balti-
more.
In 1887 Blue Ridge employed
steadily small army of mechan-
les in their shops. During this
time 35 buses were completely
overhauled This work included
all major units such as motors.
tHansmissionsl clutches, differen-
tails and axles. After every 1900
miles each bus is given a thorough
inspection. When each has trav-
eled $4,000 miles it is taken to the
shop for a complete overhauling.
Every nut and bolt is checked. the
engine is taken out and recondi-
toned. So thorough is this work
that when the bus is placed back
in operation it is as good as new. |
This is the fourth time Blue
Ridge has won the silver award
Today efficient maintenance for
greatest comfort and safety for
travellers is a by-word of Blue
Ridge service.

"Ono" is the name of a town in

between Harrisburg and Reading.
As we sped along and approached
the town our driver announced:
aThis is Ono" 1t struck us as a
rather peculiar name, but before
we could ask the question, an ex-
planation was forthcoming. Here
IS how the town got its name: At
a meeting held by a number of
the early settlers of that delight
full community, called for the pur-
pose of selecting a name, one
name after another was suggest
ed by the citizens. but each time
suggestion was made, it was
met by an overwhelming ooh,
Not When no decision could be
reached the chairman announced:
"Well, let's call it Ono So
it was named and has remained
to this day. An old, dilapidated
building is pointed out as the
place where the above meeting
was held, way back in the horse
and buggy days.
