Sees livestock Possibilities

Washington, D. C.-IA con- sideration of climate, accessibili- ty and character of the agricul- tural land, the Interior Depart ment recently estimated that GAO new farm families could have reasonable expectation of esta- blishing successful farm enter prlses" in the Territory,
 The report was made following a request of Secretary Krug that the Bureau of Land Manage ment locate areas suitable for veterans farming projects.
 Kodiak island is recommended as suitable area for 25 families.
 Speaking of Kodiak the report said:
 Kodiak, together with Afog- nak, holds promise for increased livestock production. Since live stock raising requires relatively large areas, the opportunity for group settlement is restricted.
 "Kodiak offers fishing and possibly numbering as supple mental sources of income.
 Processing and marketing facilities will be needed before any material expansion of the livestock industry on Kodiak is feasible "

the Allentown Cards"
Boots" Poffenberger is slated to
pitch for the Owls and if he has his
stuff he will be mighty hard to beat.
Manager Griffiths, all through the
training season, has insisted on his
team hustling and even in exhibit
ton games has been quick to jump
on anyone he found logging" it.
AS result of this, fans can go down
to the Stadium for the opening
game, confident that the boys will
give them good run for their
money. Reserved seats are now on
sale at the Hagerstown News
Agency on the Square, but they are
going fast, so get down there today
if you don't want to be disappointed.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

It sure is a tough break to have
the Interstate League baseball seas
on open on the very night my paper
is printed, but there was nothing ]
could do about it and so, since ]
can't comment on last nights open
ing game at Sunbury, let's take a
look at those two exhibition games
with Harrisburg on Saturday and
Sunday.
In Saturdays game, with about
400 fans present, the Owls were in
command all the way. The pitch
ing of Bumstead and Nedelco was
steady, the boys played errorless
ball and best of all, they were really
hitting, with every man on the team,
with the exception of the pitchers,
getting at least one hit (Daddario
got four, including double, and
Jenis had three, including a triple).
Up in the press box l remarked
to Frank Colley, this ought to be
tomorrow's game" and l was dead
right for once.
In Sundays game, before 140O
fans, our team couldn't do anything
right. Boots" Poffenberger, who
started the game, just didn't have
his stuff and during the three and
two-thirds innings he was on the
mound he gave up six nits (including
two doubles and two home runs)
and was charged with eight runs,
and unlike Saturdays game, we had
three costly errors. At the end of
the sixth inning the score was Har-
risburg IS, Owls l, the main reason
being the really superb pitching of
the Senator's Rookie pitcher, Baxter,
who really turned in a sweet job,
keeping the five hits he allowed,
well scattered.
In the last three innings the Owls
found the chucking of Westhaver
more to their liking, hopping on him
for seven hits, good for eight runs,
to make the final score, Harrisburg
II, Owls 9.
Up to Tuesday afternoon, Halvo-
mix, the third baseman sent here by
Williamsport, hadn't signed his con-
tract. If he signed before the team
left for Sunbury yesterday, he made
the trip, but if he didn't then Bunny
Grifiths was due to play third. 1
understand that the reason he hadn't
signed was because ne wanted to
talk to the man who sent him to
Williamsport.
1t sure was good 10 see Stratton
in uniform for Tuesdays practice
session. He looked to be in good
shape and should win his share of
the games.
= = +
Don't be surprised if Owcar and
Stamos see action in the outfeld.
The two pitchers can smack that ap-
pie and Bunny sure needs some more
power at the plate.
