Promptly at 8:15 tomorrow night,
Hagerstown baseball fans will once
again hear the, familiar play ball, :"
as Mickey Balla, new manager of
the Hagerstown Owls, sends his
team out to take the field against
the Allentown Cards, in the first
home game of the 1916 season.
Hagerstown will be getting their
first look at an almost entirely new
team, for only Joe Napoles and Bob
bic Martin were with the Owls last
year. When we asked Mickey what
he thought of the chances of his
team, he said that his boys should
give good account of themselves,
but, said Balla, "of one thing I'm
certain. The Hagerstown fans are
going to see a hustling ball team. -
Pre-game ceremonies include a
musical program by the Municipal
Band, under the direction of DR..
Peter Buys; the annual parade to
the flagpole, and the throwing out
of the first ball by his honor, Mayor
Richard H. Sweeney.
Some idea of what you can ex-
pect from the 1945 edition of the
Owls was given in an exhibition
game with the Scranton Miners on
Sunday afternoon-the team which
few days earlier had beaten York
seven to three. With both teams
playing in mid-season form, the
game rocked along for six innings
in a scoreless tie. In the bottom
half of the seventh, second baseman,
Vince Fauci, who had been sent
here by the Nashville Vols, smacked
out solid triple to right and came
home on third baseman Zeigler's
long fly to right field. Gavie

Knothole Gang
Is Assured Now

Through the courtesy of Oren E.
Sterling, president of the Hagers-
town Baseball Club, Jack Hellane's
Knothole Gang will enjoy the Owls
home games again this year.
1t was found necessary this Spring
to tear down the old Knothole stand
in left field that was donated some
years ago by the Hagerstown Ro-
tary Club, because it was beyond
repair, but it is to be replaced with
a new stand that will seat two hun
dred kids.
The Alsatia Club is sponsoring the
project, with w. Keefer Bower act
ing as chairman of the Knothole
Gang Bleacher Committee. The
bleachers will be constructed under
the supervision of the City Engin-
eering Department and will cost in
the neighborhood of $500, of which
5000 has already been contributed
by the Mayor and Council.
Chairman Bower has addressed a
letter to all Social, Fraternal and
Service clubs, asking their financial
support and contributions from the
general public will be welcomed
Make your check payable to The
Knothole Bleacher Fund and mail
it to w. Keefer Bower, Alsatia Club,
141 West Washington street, Hagers-
town.
Members of the Knothole Gang
will be under the direction of Jack
Hellane, who will have the assist
ance of H. S. Douglas and a corps
of older boys.
Arrangements are being made to
seat the gang on the grass until the
new stand is completed and every
care will be taken to prevent the
youngsters from leaving their own
section.
Too much credit cannot be given
Mr.. Sterling, Jack Hellane, the AL
satia Club and the Mayor and Coun-
Gil, for making this really worth
while project possible and if YOU
want to lend helping hand just
drop around to the Knothole Gang
section some night and offer Jack
Hellane your services in taking care
of these kids.

Check Brakes Now
Urges Lee Elgin

''The importance of the automo-
bile brake-check campaign that
started on April 18th and will con-
tinue until June 1st, under the spon-
sorship of the International Associa-
ton of Police has been emphasized
in every city, town and rNral sec
ton in the United States" said w.
Lee Elgin, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles.
Il strongly urge every Maryland
motor vehicle owner to take part
in the movement to conserve the
dwindling supply of automotive,
transportation and help reduce
highway accidents" concluded Mr..
Elgin.
Activities in all of the States are
under the direction of the various
Police Departments, all of whom are
distributing pamphlets describing
the purpose of the campaign and
will conduct the brake tests when
required or requested by motorists.
In cooperation with this drive to
help eliminate faulty brakes, all
driving license examiners of the
Department of Motor Vehicles will
have in their possession at the time
a. test is given, small U-shaped
block of wood, which will be placed
under the brake pedal. If the brake
fails to react before the pedal
touches the wooden monitor it needs
adjusting.
Police Officer Kiser is in charge
of brake testing in Hagerstown and
the campaign is endorsed by every
traffic and automobile organization,
including the Automobile Club of
Maryland.

have scored easily, even if he had
held on to it.
With that one run lead, Jake
Kraft, also sent here by the Vols,
retired the Miners without trouble
in the seventh and eighth innings,
but ran into danger in the ninth,
when with one out, he filled the
bases. Jake, who had relieved Bob
Doak, who pitched the first hrre
inings, settled right down, however,
and retired the side without a
score. But here is what really i'm
pressed me. When Scalli, playing
centerfield for the Owls, came in
fast to take Boryk's fly for the third
and final out, the whole Owls squad
rushed out and shook hands and
patted him on the back, as if they

pennant.

see no reason why they shouldn't,
I they'll not only win plenty of ball

favorites with the fans.

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1945-04-26

Oren Sterling was host at a get
together dinner at the Hamilton
Hotel on Friday night, at which the
Owls new manager was introduced
and plans completed for the open
ing night ceremonies.
Talking "off the record" Mr.. Sterl-
ing told of some of the problems of
running a ball club in these I'M
certain times. Some of the things
he told us were quite a surprise
to those that think that all a base
ball front office has to do, is sit
in the box office and rake in the
money.
Mickey Balla, the Owls new man
ager, impressed everyone with his
quiet sincerity. He made no big
boasts, but just promised that he
would put hustling team on the
field that would never quit till the
last man was out in the last inning.
I had talk with Balla Monday
evening, during which he intro
duced me to the members of the
team and a more likeable and
friendly bunch I have never met.
To use an old, wornout phrase, they
seem to have that "old college
spirit" and they impressed me as a
bunch that really want to give Ha-
gerstown winning ball club.
Another thing 1 liked was the way
they got along with their manager,
and I for one believe that we have
the best player and manager COM
bination we have had since l came
to Hagerstown.
Those youngsters and their man.
ager are going to make mistakes,
but they will be mistakes that they
will profit from-mistake that will
not break up the ball club, but will
rather pull them closer together.
Go out there and play ball gang,
I'm for you all the way.
