BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Rain, which has played havoc
with the Owls schedule all season,
washed out Tuesday nights game
with Lancaster. A double-header
was scheduled for last night, but
of course this column has to be
written on Wednesday morning, so
I can't tell you what happened.
During the Owls present home
stay several new players are
scheduled to make their appear
ance. Ghilardi, who replaced Heck
err at first base, broke into the line
up at Wilmington and showed plen-
ty of power at the plate. He got
one or more hits in three out of
the four games and came across
with a three-run round-tripper in
the first game of the double-header
at Wilmington.
Fitzgerald was injured during a
game at Wilmington and Danek
went back to center field, with Dan
ielS returning to third base. Fitz-
gerald was used later in the series
as a pinch hitter and came across
with a single, but Baskin had to
go in as a runner for him.
An outfelder from the Nashville
Vols in the Southern League and
third baseman have reported and
both will no doubt get chance to
show what they can do during the
present home stay.
The management has announced
that six autographed baseballs will
be presented to ticket holders at
tonight's game and on Saturday
night a $25 War Bond will be
awarded during the game with
York. York also plays a single
game here on Friday night and a
double-header on Sunday after
noon.
While Dutch Dorman's gang lost
ground to the first and second place
clubs on their recent road trip, they
managed to hang on to their fourth
place berth and, as of yesterday,
were only a game nd-a-half be-
hind the third place Trenton club.
The standings in the American
and National leauges are just an
other proof that in baseball you
don't know the winner till the last
man is out in the ninth inning.
In the American League, while
Detroit always figured to be in the
first division, not a single sports
writer in their preseason predict
tons, gave the Washington Sena-
tors look in. Last years pennant
winner, the st. Louis Browns, were
picked to have a good chance to re-
peat, while The Yankees were also
up near the top in the spring pre-
dictionS.
So what happens! The Senators
are crowding Detroit for the lead
and have come up with, not only
the best pitching staff in the league,
but also the fastest base running
gang. On the other hand, the
Yankees are definitely slipping,
while the Browns will be lucky to
finish in the first division.
In the National League the upset
is even more pronounced. The
Chicago Cubs (the club that Hagers-
town fans have a particular interest
in because of their working agree
ment with the Owls are riding on
top of the heap and have a better
than even chance of staying there.
The st. Louis Cards are in second
place, but dem Buns" are only
half game behind them.
All-in-all, the only preseason
dope that is holding up is that the
Phillies and the Athletics are safe
ly in the cellar.

Beneath a spreading Normandy
maple on the Georgetown Univers-
ity campus where students have
gathered for years, the university to-
day dedicated the tree and the
'popley seats in memory OF S/Sergt.
Richard F. Hoffman, 81, of the COL
lege class of 1914 and 14l other
Georgetown heroes who gave their
lives in World War II.
The Very Rev. Lawrence C. Cor
man, S. j., president. blessed the
bronze dedication tablet, after which
the Rev. Richard Law, S. j., read
the scroll of the war dead. From a
distance came the sound of three
volleyS fired in salute by a squad
of the ROTC and taps was blown.
The stone seats and esplanade be-
meath the memorial tree were pro-
vided by Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Hoff
man of Cincinnati, parents of Sergt.
Hoffman, killed in action in the Pa
cif1c. March 20, 1914, on a BIS
Mitchell bomber. He was radio
gunner.
Had Death Premonition.
A short while before this hap
pened, he had a premonition of
death, for he had written sister,
Rosemary:
Il am in great danger and if
anything happens to me want you
to comfort mother and dad. But
don't worry about me, as I am al
ways in the state of grace. Now
that have that off my chest, will
say no more about it."
Sergt. Hoffman's parents were un-
able to attend the dedication be-
cause of i'll health, but were repre-
sented by a daughter, Miss Jeanne
Hoffman, student at Georgetown
Visitation Convent. Four Gold Star
mothers of former students also
were present.
The only address was by Charles
Hagen, a senior and former lieu
tenant with the SD Infantry Divi-
sion in Germany, who paid tribute
to Sergt. Hoffman and other George
town dead, many of whom were his
friends. He also read verses written

colt in Rockville. The two beIboys

In setting bond, Judge Prescott
severely criticized the WAVES for
not resisting the alleged attacks
with the last ounce of their
strength"
He declared that the conditions
under which the WAVES testified
they had been assaulted were "vir-
tually impossible" adding that this
is the first time I have heard Of
women being criminally attacked
with hardly any commotion and
their clothes not even torn"

are supposed to resist to the last
ditch. After all, such a charge car
ries maximum penalty of death"
At the same time, he warned the
defendants that even if they are
not convicted of criminal attack
charges, they may be judged guilty
|of assault and punished quite
severely"
The WAVES, all % years of age,
stationed at Arlington Farms, testi-
fed that Shackelford attacked each
of them and that Hughett attacked
one of the girls. They said the two
and another youth-who was not
charged-picked them up in Arling-

Heberf Calls for Funds
All Once 10 Provide
|0f-Sfreet PARKING
BY DON S. WARREN.

A recommendation that the re-
activated District Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency promptly seek funds
to purchase sites for of street park
ing facilities was made today by
Chairman Hebert of the House Dis
trict Traffic Subcommittee.
ut appears to me that this is the
next big step to be TAKEN" said the
Louisianan, after he had concluded
two days Of an oopen forum on the
parking problem.
"Spokesmen tcr the parking
agency, now about to resume its OPP
erations after a wartime lapse, told
us much data already has been coll
lected and sites selected. hope re-
quests will be made promptly,
through proper channels. for funds
that will put the program into
effect"
Underground Garages.
Mr.. Hebert said he was convinced
major solutions of the downtown
parking problem, so far as the all
day parker is concerned, depended
largely on development of great
underground garages under three
Federal park areas.
These are the Mall, between
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets NV.
the Ellipse; and the rectangle south
of the District Building. Mai. Gen.
U. s. Grant, Sd, chairman of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, said studies made some
years back showed such projects
could provide parking spaces for
more than 1000 cars. Cost estimates
then ran to nearly $4,000, 900, but
Gen. Grant said they would be much
higher today.
He estimated roughly that a
charge Of 10 cents a day per car
would be needed to make such prof.
ects economically feasible, but If the
Government were to finance them
the costs, on the old estimates, might
be amortized over a long period on
a charge OF 10 cents day parking
fee.
PRA Official Testifies.
Among last witnesses heard by the
Hebert subcommittee was F. w.
Lovejoy. an official of the Public
Roads Administration, and a mem
Der OF the new parking agency.
Mr.. Lovejoy said there was no
reason to delay over its authority
to condemn sites for necessary off
street parking. Private operators.
he said. cannot assemble sites in
high value areas on an economical
basis, but could lease them for
operation once the District has ac-
quired the land.
Responding to question from Mr.
Hebert, he agreed there was no
reason why private parking rates
should not be regulated by the
Public Utilities Commission, but
added that this subject could be
covered by conditions written into
leases the District may impose on
private operators on sites con-
demned by the District.
Police Inspector Arthur e. Miller,
IN charge of the Police TRAFFIC Divi-
sion, urged wide extension of use of
parking meters. He said regulation
Of curb spaces for desperate" short
time parkers was most pressing"
Washington I. Cleveland for the
Automobile Association
and George E. Keneipp for the Key

the plans of the new Parking Agency
and offered numerous suggestions
for immediate parking relief through
