The Hagerstown Retailers Bureau,
whose Booster Night last year will
be long remembered, are out to
even surpass that grand event when
they put on their second Booster
Night at the Stadium tonight, dur
ing the double-header between York
White Roses and the Hagerstown
Owls. The president of the Bureau,
Ford Bryan, named a strong COM
mittee, headed by Christy McEwen
and "Joe" Schindel, acting as CO.
chairmen, and they have really gone
to town
One glance at the window of the
Potomac Edison retail store on North
Potomac Street, will give you a
slight idea of the number of valu-
able prizes to be awarded-prizes, by
the way, that will go to spectators
at the game and also to members
of the home and visiting teams.
But that's not all. Between games
there will also be a field meet, dur
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1946-08-01

ing which many events between the
players will be scheduled. So, if you
want a night of fun, entertainment
and lots and lots of prizes, to say
nothing of a double-header ball
game, during which those hustling
Owls will endeavor to take the
White Rose for six straight, get out
to the stadium tonight and get there
bright and early if you want a seat.
Space will not permit listing all
the prizes to be awarded, so suffice
is to say that as usual, the members
of the Retailers Bureau have re-
sponded in their usual liberal man
ner, with the result that there will
be prizes galore-with every prize of
real value.
And now, one last word In the
event of rain the entire program
will be put on Tomorrow night,
when the York team will also be
here for the second double-header
in a row.

Going To Lancaster?

Mrs. Harry E. Whiteman, one OF
the Owls most loyal fans, decided,
after seeing bus loads of York fans
at both the Saturday and Sunday
double-headers, that it was about
time the local fans gave the boys
some real support on the road too,
by making the trip to Lancaster for
next Sundays double-header. With
Mrs. Whiteman, decision meant ac-
ton, so she contacted the bus COM
panv and arranged for the special
buses at 1925 per passenger Tor
the round trip; got in touch with the
sports writers for the local papers
and asked for their support (Which
they were glad to give); called up
dozens of people on the phone and
plugged the project, and had the
plan aired over the public address
system at the ball park.
Such determined action brought
immediate results. One bus load is
already reserved and now she IS
accepting reservations for a second
bus. The buses will leave the BIO
station Summit Avenue and An
tietam Street )at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning, returning after the games,
and you will be in Lancaster in
plenty of time to get dinner before
the games. So, if you would like
to make the trip, just call Mrs.
Whiteman at 1861 and make your
reservation.

the daily action of ocean tides.
This was despite the fact that OBJ
servers noted two classes of sea
waves-the first, a withdrawal from
shorelines of great masses of water
Qater determined as following an
earthquake) with the water return
ing as huge, destructive swells,
and the second, direct destructive
waves (now known as resulting
from ocean bed upheavals).
LATER: More recently scientists
began to record actions of these
crests, as in the case of that of the
Sanriku, Japan, disaster of 1896,
when the quake causing the 93-foot-
high wave was recorded in San
Francisco, 4,7S7 miles distant.
SOON: Since seismic sea waves
are due to earthquakes, which are
unpredictable, they cannot be fore
cast at present. However, the world
network of seismograph stations,
combined with a new network of
stations which will be able to pre-.
dict abnormally heavy swells for
shipping and shorefront warnings,
will be able to indicate where tidal
waves might strike, thus giving
human beings chance to be safe
rather than sorry.

To-Day Race Meet

General Manager Hershey
Reports All Stables Full.
Hagerstown's annual Today race
meet, sponsored by the Hagerstown
Fair Association, with Roger Her
shey as general manager, opens on
Tuesday afternoon, August 6, with
the first race scheduled for 3 p. m.
daylight saving time and the Daily
Double on the first two races.
The feature race on opening day
will be the Inaugural Handicap,
which is expected to bring together
the fastest sprinters in training in
this section of the country, headed
possibly by Annie's Dream, who, af-
ter breaking the track record for
four-and-a-half furlongs at Charles
Town, moved over to Belair and took
the measure of the best sprinters
stabbed at that track.
With increased purses offered this
year, entries for every race during
the year will unquestionably attract
the best horses in training, not only
from the half-mile tracks, but from
many stables CHARTERED at the near
by mile tracks, who will probably
van their horses over here for some
of the feature events.
Everything has been done to cater
to the comfort of race fans, with add
ed betting windows to accommodate
the crowd and better arrangements
for refreshment booths. So, all in all,
Hagerstown's 1916 racing meet can
be expected to break all previous
records.

Notes On The Games

Gene Joselane's two hundred and
seventy dollar double, that won the
first game of Sundays double-head-
er with York, is still being talked
about, but there was another play
in that four game series with York,
that the fans are still talking about
too. I refer to the sensational play
made by John Sebastian, Owls
shortstop, in Saturday nights game,
when he went over behind second
base, cut off a seemingly sure hit
and converted it into a double play.
And talking about Sebastian, he
sure has made the Owls infield. On
his toes every minute, able to rifle
that ball to first like bullet, and
covering his position like the dew
covers Dixie, he is one of the main
cogs in the best infeld the Owls
have had in long, long time.
$50
Another Owl player who is a
world of strength to the team, is
Gene Crumling, who, since the in
jury to Ruark, has handled the
catching chores, single-hapded. Not
only Is he doing a superb lob of
catching, but his bat has also been
an important cog in the Owls cur
rent win streak, which has landed
them firmly in third place and hot
on the heels of the Second-place
Harrisburg Senators.
In the last six games Gene has
':ome through with three singles, a
double and two triples, and his
sharing of foul flies has been moth
ing short of sensational. And here's
something else. Gene gets down to
first like 50-yard Splinter. He
runs every hit out, there's no loaf
ing with that boy. And have you
noticed the way ne backs up first
base? In Tuesday nights game
Fitzgerald, after catching a short
fly to right on the dead run, got
off wild throw in trying to get
Danek at first, but Crumling was
right on the job backing up first
and took Fitz's wild throw on the
fly.
Aside to Eddie Volan: Don't take
your temporary batting slump so
hard Eddie. Just remember that
your defensive play in center field
has cut off many run. And here's
something else to chew on. 1t was
your very timely single in the sew
enth inning of Sundays second
game, that drove Wally Bernat
across with the winning tally.
