BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

A note from Oren Sterling on my
desk, telling me that there is nothing
new relative to working agreement
for the Owls, but promising to let
me know as soon as there is any
thing definite to report.
The annual Interstate League
meeting will be held in Lancaster,
Pa, on February II and l plan to
be there, so look for the latest dope
in this column in the issue of Feb
ruary Is. The Interstate Broad
casters and Sportswriters Associa-
ton is holding big blowout the
night of the annual meeting, so
perhaps / had better say that l will
have all the latest dope for you in
the issue of February 15-provid-
ing l have got enough sense left
to write, after the big blowout.
Although st. James School lost to
the Baltimore Friends School in
their basketball game played in Bal
timore last week, the county boys
were far from disgraced. The final
score was "a to 80 and the hero of
the game was Brick" McElwain,
captain of the 1914 ST. James foot
ball team.
Brick scored six goals and made
good 10 fouls for a total of % points
A report of the game, however,
would not be complete without Civ
ing word of praise to the Saints
two guards, Perry and Salmons,
whose work, especially in the second
half, was nothing short of sensa-
tional.
The Conoco Oilers, making their
second local appearance on Sunday
afternoon at the Armory, hung a
33 to 90 licking on the Fort Meade
Medics.
Mel Henry, playing coach Of the
Oilers, was high scorer with q
points. Manager Walter Pollard, Jr.,
announces that his boys will tangle
with the powerful Fort McHehry
Torpedoes at the Armory on Sun
day afternoon, with another good
preliminary game booked to open
proceedings at 2 o'clock. The Torpe-
does are one of the top ranking fives
in the service outfits, so, if you
want to see professional basketball
at its best just wend your way out
to the ArmOrv on Sunday afternoon

The World Champions

Because what, after all, are real
champions?
They are those who accept the
challenge and ask no odds.
They are those who take the
breaks as they come and who rise
above the bad ones.
They are those who battle undis-
mayed against setback after setback.
Especially, they are those who
prove their mettle in the ultimate
crisis.
THAT'S the kind of champions the
l. Detroit Tigers are this year.
They won the American League
pennant in the last game of the
season.
They won the World Series also
in the final game after getting off to
a dismal start.
In these disturb ed days, they
might well serve as an inspiration
to the rest of us.
The thought of quitting was
never in them.
We might, all of us, remember
that.

Communism Inn Bavaria

SOVIET SPONSORED news

But obviously, if the Germans
are to be taught democracy and the
principles of liberty are to be incul-
Gated among them, not only is it
necessary to PUT NAILS OUT OF
POWER-it is also requisite NOT
TO PUT COMMUNISTS IN.
But putting Communists in
power is evidently just what is hap
pening in Bavaria.
FREDERICK Schaeffer was minis
ter president" under Gen. Patton.
FOLLOWING Patton's disgrace
l. Schaeffer's resignation" was &C
cepted and Wilhelm Hoegner was
appointed BY THE U. S. MILL
TARY GOVERNMENT as his sue
cessor.
And Hoegner Immediately an
nounced that HIS government would
"go to the left"-WITH COMMU-
NISTS IN HIS CABINET.
Hoegner complained that the
Schaeffer regime was
Too far to the right With
ONLY ONE red spot in the labor
ministry"
Hoegner also said:
Russia is big potOer today, and
the Communists are democrats, so
they must be taken into considera-
ton"
That is pure communistic bunk,
of course, for there is no more UN-
DEMOCRATIC and TYRANNOUS
system than communism, as the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
once said in a speech from a White
House portiCo. NA-
And what democracy" is there
in forcing COMMUNISM upon a
conquered people by military might
under the pretense of rescuing them
from NAZISM?

NEWS from abroad that seeps
4 ' through the truth-hiding censor
ships raises the suspicion that the
occupation forces which our victori-
Gus armies leave behind them in
foreign lands are being used to i'm
pose COMMUNISM upon defeated
and despairing peoples.
This is not a service to America
nor to the cause of freedom and
justice anywhere, but it is an meal
culably valuable service to Commu-
mist Russia with her policies of
self-aggrandizement.
The once-free nations of Latvia,
Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Bull
garia, Hungary and Poland areenow
either subjected Soviet republics"
under the Russian dictatorship or
else are completely dominated from
Moscow through servile puppet
governments. "
Any extension of the communism
system which we can provide is
necessarily great benefit to COM
munism, however bitterly it may
affict the hapless victims.
1t is also the very thing against
which the Labor party's foreign
minister in Great Britain, Mr.. Ernest
Bevin, uttered an anguished protest
recently when he said that develop
ments in the areas liberated from the
Nazis indicated that one form of
ruthless totalitarianism was being
substituted for another
And it is certainly not the ideal

posedly fought.
Bavaria is one of the regions from
which the truth is leaking out.
Gen. George S. Patton Jr. has

If the tribute seems a shade less
clamorous than 10 years ago when
the Tigers won their last World
Series, they must not attribute it to
any lessening of civic enthusiasm. 1t
is merely that in this eventful year,
with two wars ended and won, the
populace is too drained of emotion
to celebrate as Justify as it normally
would.
Our Tigers should understand
that the people of Detroit are truly

COME of President Humans
~ political - and personal -
friends already have begun TO
do some of their minor 1948
worrying.
People always indulge in
these fears, when they are
building up the friend for the
next campaign. Now they are at
it little earlier than usual.
The reference here is to the
small anXieties, not the big
ones. such as organized labor 5
thinly yelled threats 10 detroy
the old New Deal CIO Demo-
cratic coalition which RooSe-
Welt created and held together
for so long.
The President got some bad
bourbon-and-poker publicity on
the occasion of the recent Demo-
cratic social outing at Jefferson
Island, in Chesapeake Bay.
TRUMAN is a genial, whole
Il souled person, who really
loves his fellow man and enjoys
being on a party as we'll as the
next one. But some of his more
apprehensive friends think the
time has come TO soft pedal the
highballs and cards. Neither do
they want any more stage or
screen stars sitting on top OF
the piano when he INDUCES his
fondnesS for music at some
gathering of cronies.
Now the President has taken
up fishing, and that has gone
over big. for fishing is the sport
of philosophers and students.
Nobody diSlikes a fisherman.
These things are trivial. per-
haps. but the smart politicians
regard them as politically i'm
portant For example, Theo-
dere Roosevelt made William
Howard Taft give up golf, at a
time when Big Bill about to
run for president. was trying to
reduce his poundage 7. r. said
that golf was rich mans
game" which was far more true
way back in 1908 than it is
today.
At the time he gave this
advice 10 his prospective sue
ceSsor, the colonel himself main
tanned a stable of horses.
Now, horseback ri di ing is
much more expensive than golf,
but T. r. explained that the
voters had no prejudices against
riding. He himself got some of
his best publicity astfide a
gated nag Remember the ia
nous cartoon. over the Barr" :?
So poor old Taft, weighing
over 300. took up riding. his
mount being the largest horse
obtainahle. a Steed that looked
like a Percheron.
ONE day when President Taft
" and the late Gen. Clarence
Edwards were riding on land
recently reclaimed from the
Potomac River w h ere the
Munitions Building now stands
on Constitution avenue Taft s
huge horse sank under his own
and his boss weight, right down
to his belly II required a der
rick 10 enable Taft 10 dismount
and his horse 10 be rescued.
They say in Missouri that
Truman only recently has be-
come an ardent fisherman. His
current fishing trip 10 Tonnes
see is regarded by the politicians
as very helpful publicity.
I OOK at that great fisherman,

was the cement which bound his
friendship with the actor joseph
jefferson. Arthur was a de-
voted fisherman, and used 10

WASHINGTON, OCT vi MI
w Truman promptly crushed
the promotional campaign TO
give away the atom bomb.
He summoned a hasty night
press conference 10 say the
secret would not be shared.
A few hours earlier an Ameri-
can scientist had given scare
testimony 10 Congress which
meant Russia might get the
secret in 10 years" and then
press button and destroy
every American man, woman
and child apparently only up
10 the border, no Canadians or
MeXicans).
1t is an exceptional scientist
who speaks wisdom outside his
province.
CONGRESSMEN wondere d
y hut did not learn what we
would be doing in 10 years,
My private checking indicates
CONGRESS is Overwhelmingly
favorable to the stand Mr.. Tru-
man took as the only reason
able, sensible course.
The realization is sweeping
over this city that we are indeed
a new world and need to de-
velop new sound conceptions of
our problems.
Mr.. Roosevelt once shocked
the country by saying our
frontier was on the Rhine.
Do you know where il is now?
It is Minneapolis, Duluth, the
Great Lakes cities.
1t is beyond them in the
wastes of Canada, the frozen
north.
THERE are only two nations
Il in the world with military
wherewithal, Russia and the
United States and the frontier
between them is the territory
described above.
Marines used TO speak of the
great circle route across the
North Atlantic AS the greatest
international highway of the
world, and it was before this
war.
The new great circle route
coming in from Europe 10 the
Midwest is now the worlds
greatest highway, and it is
highway. II runs up 10 10000
and 10000 feet in the strato-
sphere.
Land armies of the future can
be flown that way as we'll as
great commerce and many peo-
pie.
Directed missiles can come
that way-the rockets.
If the button is ever pushed
in Moscow, what it sends off
TO destroy every American
man, woman and child" would
come that way
Our radar must be beamed
there.
We ourselves must look that
way, and not across the seas
where the route is twice as far
and nature affords protection.
AS attack is weapon of de-
Tense, our strategy would be de-
ficient and as backward as
Pearl Harbor if it did not look
that way also.
old times, old ways are gone
~ forever.
Our scientists must show the
same unbound imagination in
their realm of search for the
answers in the new world-re-
search.
Now do not call this new
great road the highway of to-
morrow.
1t is the highway Of today
We are already at that point
We are there. We can see it.
We can see it far more clearly
