goose eggs on the score board after
his team gave him a one-run lead,
to win his game, 81.
But Sundays double-header was
a different story. Both teams play
ed sloppy ball. The pitchers parad-
ed in and out of games in an end
less procession (the Owls used six
and Trenton nine) while on the
field, a total Of nine errors were
officially charged against the two
teams, but there were enough men
tai lapses (Which cannot be offici-
ally charged as errors) to at least
double that number.
But that's water over the dam
now and the Owls are again playing
heads up ball, so let's all get out
to the Stadium tonight and root for
those Owls to take two from Sum-
bury-that really would help.

Knothole Gang
Given Free Treat

Through the generosity of Thomas
w. Pangborn, the Knothole Gang
enjoyed an abundance of sandwiches,
ice cream and orangeade during
Sunday afternoons double-header at
the Municipal Stadium.
Mr.. Pangborn, who has shown a
keen interest in the fine work Jack
Hellane is doing in directing the
Knothole Gang during the Inter
state League season, made arrange
ments for the feed and saw to it
that there was plenty for everyone.
With the new fence now installed,
the Knothole Bleacher section is in
fine shape and an increasing num-
Der of youngsters are not only seeing
all the Owls home games, but in
doing so are also getting fine
lesson in American craftsmanship
and team work.

INTERSTATE
LEAGUE STANDING

Last Nights Games Not Included

Through Tuesday night the Owls
had completed SO double plays-42
at home and As on the road
The team comes home again to-
day for a long week end. Sunbury
will be here tonight and tomorrow
night for single games and York
comes in for a single game on Satur-
day night Qadies night and
double-header on Sunday afternoon.
Having taken a new lease on life
since getting some much needed help
from the Cubs, Bunny Grifiths and
his gang climbed back into the
first division by taking three out of
four from Trenton and held on to
that spot by really taking the Lam
caster Red Roses for a ride on Tues
day night by the lopsided score of
IA to 2. Marty Minogue held the
Red Roses to five hits and after
Wally Bernat's homer in the fifth
gave the Owls a one run lead, Marty
was in complete command.
The Owls really went on a batting
rampage against the offerings of
Lefty Angstatt and Stenoff, who re-
lieved him in the sixth, coming up
with 10 hits, including, if you please,
four by Minogue. Strange to say,
however, Tony Matazarro, the Owls
leading hitter, was the only Ha-
gerstown man in the lineup who
failed to get hit.
The decision to give Norman Fish
er his release was made after his
poor showing in the first game of
Sundays double-header against
Trenton. Going in as a relief pitch
er in the seventh inning, when Cur
tbs weakened, he forced in run
when he walked Gallager with the
bases loaded, to tie the score. The
Owls came back, however, and gave
him a one run lead in their half
of the eighth, but Fisher couldn't
protect his lead in the ninth, walk
ing the first man to face him and
then giving up three singles, good
for two runs and the ball game.
The four game series with Trenton
provided just about everything from
the sublime to the ridiculous.
In the opening game Saturday
night, Hal Stewart, making his first
appearance on the home diamond as
starting pitcher, pitched one of
the prettiest games l have seen this
year, winning 30. In complete con-
troll all the way, he kept the nine
hits he allowed we'll scattered lex
cept in the fourth, when a single,
double and triple gave Trenton
their two runs) and made new
seasons record for strike outs in
single game by Owls pitchers, by
striking out eight men.

|Citizens' Committee
10 Meet tuesday on
D. {. Expansion Plan

| The newly formed Commissioners
Planning Committee will meet at
2:30 pm. Tuesday at the District
Building to consider the vast $228,-
000,000 six-year expansion program
OF public buildings and services re-
Gently recommended by Engineer
Commissioner Gordon r. Young to
bring these facilities into line with
the war growth of city population
| The group was named at the
suggestion Of Brig. Gen. Young to
work his preliminary recommen-
dationS~into final master plan OF
city development to be submitted
in legislative form to the next ses-
sion Of Congress.
Gen. Young'S Six-year plan rep
reSents four months of work screen
ing even more elaborate programs
prepared by the various municipal
department heads and fitting them
all together in single picture.
Scaling Down Expected.
1t was considered likely in Dis
trict Building circles that any final
plan recommended by the commit
tee for enactment will represent q
considerable scaling down of the
initial program, particularly as il
relates to items chargeable to the
general fund and a 100000 900 SUBJ
way, because the demands which
current operating costs are placing
on the fund are leaving nothing
available for new building.
| Under the plan as it now stands
new schools, police and fire stations
libraries, health and welfare in
stitutions and the like costing $102,-
100000 are recommended together
with $47,0O0, 900 win highway i'm
provements and $19,0OO,000 in water
system expansion-the latter two
being financed out of their respec-
tive funds plus Federal aid and bor-
rowing. In addition. it is suggested
the $50 100000 subway be financed
initially by the Federal Government
which Gen. Young says is response
BILE for the downtown traffic con-
gestion but with the District to
repay half.
Those projects ultimately to be
approved by Congress in the l947
District budget are considered fin
anced by the coming years taxes
and removed from committee con-
sideration.
In addition to the three Com

tee include Wilbur S. Finch, presi-
