BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

All last season, l kept looking at
that "Knothole Gang" stand out in
left field, built by the Rotary Club,
and as / looked, | wondered why it
wasn't being used.
Almost every ball park in the
country has knothole Gang, why
isn't there one in Hagerstown?
My idea of Knothole Gang is a
group of youngsters, who, without
Knothole Gang, would never see
game of professional baseball, ex-
cept through hole in the fence. It
should not include boys, who can
themselves, or whose parents can,
pay their way into the park, but
should be limited to those who can
not afford the regular juvenile price
of admission.
Registration of the boys could be
easily handled through some recog-
nized agency, such as the Salvation
Army or the Juvenile Police Club,
which Chief Peters has announced
will be recognized here.
am sure that President Sterling
of the Hagerstown Baseball Club,
once he was assured that member
ship in the Knothole Gang would be
restricted TO the underprivileged
group and not thrown open to every
teen age boy, rich or poor, would
be glad to go along, and / know
that Captain Southworth of the Sal
walton Army will be more than
glad to cooperate, as / have talked
it over with him.
Financing Knothole Gang, along
the above lines, should not involve
more than couple of hundred dol
lars, and this could easily be raised
One of the Service Clubs might do
it; it could easily be financed by the
Community Chest, whose 1914 quo
Ia was oversubscribed in the recent
drive; or it could be handled by
private subscriptions.
If you are in favor of 1914 Knot
hole Gang, let me hear from you,
as the more endorsers we can get
for the project, the easier it will be
to put it across.

FOOD:
Chickens, Points

AS the War Food administration
requisitioned 40 million pounds Of
dressed chicken and fowl for the
government, OPA slashed point
values on canned vegetables and or
dered frozen vegetables point-free.
WAS action was prompted by
the governments inability to obtain
more than 20 per cent Of the fowl
they required in recent months, and
the army was said to be particularly
anxious to get the poultry for Sun
day dinners at camp and hospital
diets. Civilians may be little affect
ed by WAS order, however, since
it does not apply to stock stored
after December 80, 1913.
Because of comfortable stocks of
canned green and wax beans, zero
point values were established for
them. A 10 per cent reduction in
consumer demands for canned peas
and tomatoes during the last two
months led OPA to chop their point
values for No. and 2h cans to Is.
In an attempt to move frozen vege-
tables from storage to make room
for record pork stocks, all point
values were removed.
