Basketball

Professional basketball came back
to Hagerstown on Sunday after
noon, after two-year lapse, when
the Conoco Oilers took a thriller
from the Camp Springs AAF Five,
AZ to AS.
A disappointed crowd of just
about hundred saw the game, but
perhaps as the season moves along,
the attendance will improve. One
thing is certain though, and that is,
that il Hagerstown wants winter
sports they will have to prove it at
the box office, for no promoter, of
boxing, wrestling, basketball, or
what have you, is going to take the
rap for very long.
Hagerstown should be a good
sporting town, but so far it has
shown very little interest in sports
events Except horse racing). What
is the reason? If any of you have
any ideas on the subject, let's hear
from you and I'll air your views in
this column.

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1944-12-21

The new classic is for bowlers in
Hagerstown, Washington County
and nearby areas and entries will
be limited to bowlers from the fol-
lowing communities:
Hagerstown, Md; Boonsboro, Md;
Frederick, Md; Williamsport, Md;
Brunswick, Md; Taneytown, Md;
Union Bridge, Md; Martinsburg, w.
Va; Charlestown, w. Va; Green
castle, Pa; Chambersvurg, Pa;
Waynesboro, Pa; Mercersburg, Pa;
and Winchester, Va.
This will be the first tournament
held in Hagerstown for community
bowlers and with the interest that
there is in bowling in this section, it
should develop into one of the best
invitation classics in these parts.
That interest in the tournament is
running high is shown by the fact
that, although announcement of the
event has just been made, more than
twenty-five entries have already
been received.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
Bowling
BY DOUG STEWART

Bowling
For long time there has been
talk around the Alleys about the
lack of bowling tournaments for
local talent. The boys have COM
planned that while there have been
several tournaments run off in Ha-
gerstown, they have been mainly
dominated by bowlers from Wash
ington, Baltimore and points East,
with entries coming in from the
top-flight bowlers from those sec
tons.
Well men, here's what you've
been waiting for.
Through the cooperation of Gro
yer Crilley of the Hagerstown
Broadcastng Company, and Rufus
Edwards of Raney's Coliseum, an
invitation tournament, limited to
entries from this area only, is sched-
uled for Wednesday night, Deem
Der 81, at the Coliseum (see full
story elsewhere on this page.
WEI is presenting handsome
trophy to the winner, who will also
walk off with a guaranteed cash
prize of $75, and there will be sew
eral additional cash prizes.
Entries are coming in fast, SO you
bowlers had better get in touch
with Rufus Edwards right away if
you want a crack at the big money.
It looks as if Ellinger, of the Ro-
tary Club Bowling League, took
my comments about his poor show
ing to heart, for what does he do but
turn round and roll a high three
game of 1913, two weeks in row,
giving him first place in the indi-
vidual averages as the league re-
cesses for the holidays. The league
resumes on January 8 and then
We'll see if he can retain his speed
through the home stretch.

Trumon Says Dewey Hides

Chicago, Oct. 26 - tUP) - Sen. Harry s. Truman, Democratic nmo- inee for the vice presidency, said today that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey was hiding under the bed" in ig- noring Q challenge to repudiate eight Republican senators seeking reelection this year,
 When he learned that Dewey had declined to comment on his demand, Truman issued Q statement which said;
 Just as feared. MT. Dewey has neither the courage nor the honesty to tell the American people what he intends to do about these eight Republican Isolatlonists whose pub. lie utterances and voting records brand them as Isolationists and un- trustworthy on foreign affairs. MT. Dewey Is hiding under the bed, afraid to answer that question"
 The statement said Dewey had resorted to "subterfuge" in getting telegrams from five Republican sen- ators and reading only one-from Sen, Wallace II. White, Jrp of Maine-in his foreign policy address last night.
 MT. Dewey did not read the tel- egrams from Sen. (Robert A) Taft, Republican ISolationist from Ohio, Truman said. When I reach Akron am going to tell the people of Ohio about Senator Taft's voting record on foreign affairs. It was Q mighty bad one.
