BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Oren Sterling, president of the
Hagerstown Baseball Club, called
for another meeting of the Inter
state League, because he was not
satisfied with the September dates
allotted the Owls in the schedule
adopted at the February 18th meet
ing. The meeting was held in Lam
caster on February 22nd and the
changes requested by Mr.. Sterling
were made. The schedule was then
finally adopted and President Ehlers
hopes to release it to the press this
week. The opening and closing dates
remain as originally announced
April Is and September 9.
Mr.. Sterling also tells me that
he has signed another pitcher, Hope
Beard, Jr,, (What a time the fans
are going to have with that name
"Hope." Can't you just hear them
yelling, Come on Hope, hope you
can do it, hope, l hope, I hope.)
Beard is a six-footer, weighs 1870
lbs, is right handed all the way, and
his draft classification is At. He has
had experience in &C" and I'D" In
terstate, Piedmont and Virginia
leagues.
Spring training for the Owls gets
under way in Hagerstown on April
8. Now all we are waiting for is an
announcement regarding a manager
and a working agreement with one
of the higher-up clubs.

The Conoco Oilers took the high
ly touted Indiantown Gap Five into
camp on Sunday afternoon and are
scheduled to meet the Cumberland
American League Basketball team
at the Armory on Sunday afternoon.
The Cumberland boys took the
measure of the powerful Fort Nc
Henry Torpedoes, the team that beat
the Oilers, so it ought to be hum
dinger of a game. There will be a
preliminary game at two o'clock,
with the big game getting under

generally. that he feared spades

to take out into diamonds II
doubled. West tried to show him
up with his No Trump bid and
then. when South rebid the spades
after East's powerful heart jump.
West again showed his spade abil-
ity with a business double. There
upon East got wise to what was
going on and bid the spades him
self. but West thought that was a
cue-bid showing a blank in the
suit. so went to the 5-Hearts. East
did not know what to do next. so
quit. All this time. North could
tell what was going on, when a
vulnerable East could double and
West could bid No Trumps over
the spades and later double them.
If East on his third turn. in
stead OF bidding 4-Spades. had
used the Blackwood 4-No Trumps.
West would have shown two aces
with 5-Hearts, and East then could
have placed the slam safely in
either hearts or spades. preferably
the latter with his 100 honors II
he had confidence in Vests bid
ding. which adequately showed up
South's monkey business.
