Here you have the four scribes
who cover the local sports events.
We may not know much, but we
sure looked important as we studied
a knotty problem during the dedi-
cation of the new baseball field at
st. James School on Friday after
noon (darned if I can remember
now what the problem was).
Seen in the picture are: Yours
truly-well the pipe is there any
way-Colley of the Herald, Kelly of
the Mail, and McKelvey of the JEFF
ferson Republican.
And speaking of the dedication of
Jamison Field, here are some ex-
cerpts from three of the speeches:
Reverend Mckinley: Mr.. Jamison
knows more big names in baseball
than he does bishops
Bishop Powell: I'm glad that Mr..
Jamison knows more baseball men
than bishops, for if the reverse had
been the case, some other school
might be receiving this fine field,
instead of st. James.
Mr. Jamison: In his college days,
Reverend Mckinley was a real ball
player and if he had not decided
to enter the ministry, he might have
become a big league player. But
he chose the church and in his lat
ter days at college he became SC
religious that we couldn't even gel
him to steal a base.

ST. James School, thanks TO the
generosity of j. V. Jamison, Jr.,
prominent Hagerstown industrialist,
today has one of the best baseball
diamonds in Washington County,
and for that matter, one of the best
school baseball fields in the entire
state.
The field, which was dedicated at
simple, but impressive ceremonies
at the school on Friday afternoon, is
up-to-date in every respect The
diamond itself, is well nigh perfect,
in fact the outfeld is so smooth and
so green, that it looked as if it had
been laid out, sod by sod. Nor have
the spectators been forgotten There
are two sets of bleacher seats and
modern scoreboard that can be
plainly read from any section of the
field.
The Dedication ceremonies open
ed with brief address by the
Rev Walter B. Mckinley, Chap
lain of the School, who, in introduce
ing Mr.. Jamison, stressed the fact
that when the school authorities APP
preached Mr.. Jamison concerning
baseball field for the school, he
unhesitatingly offered to present the
school with an up-to-date field,
making only one stipulation-that
when not in use by the school, the
field should be made available to
other baseball teams in the county.
Mr.. Jamison, in formally present
ing the field to the school, recalled
that though he was not a former St.
James boy, his interest in st. James
started when he was in public school
in Hagertown. For in those days he
and his schoolmates used to often
ride out on their bicycles to play
baseball and football against ST.
James teams. He also recalled the
many baseball and football games
he umpired at st. James and told
his listeners that one of his proud
est possessions is a beautiful silver

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Alright the Owls are in the eel
lar-so what
So are the st. Louis Cards, but no
one expects them to stay there and by
the same token, the Owls are not
going to stay there either.
There is nothing wrong with the
Hagerstown club that better pitch
ing won't cure, and you can take my
word for it that they are going to
get better pitching - and before
very long.
Last year you fans were always
talking about the impossibility of
beating the Wilmington Blue Rocks,
because of their tie-in with the
Phillies and the help they were get
ting from them. Well take a look
at Wilmington this year-Tuesday
night they lost their fifth straight
game!
The Owls are hitting better than
the teams that have been beating
them and they are not always going
to have the bad luck that has logged
them ever since the season opened
particularly in the umpiring de-
partment, which to put it mildly,
while most of it "came from a
Rose" hasn't often had the sweet
aroma of that lovely flower!
Don't sell those Owls short, fans.
They're having tough shedding
right now, but they'll snap out of
it and climb back into the first di-
vision before you know it.

gave him for those services.
DR.. Vernon B. Kellett, Headmas-

was followed by the Right Rever-

Maryland, who accepted the gift on
behalf of the Episcopal Diocese of
Maryland.

Drills At Schools.

Drills At Schools.
Through its secretary, S. G. Lind
say, the Committee for the Study of
Fire Prevention of the Hagerstown
Fire Department, has made the fol-
lowing Recommendations to the
Washington County Board of Edu-
cation, after holding unannounced
fire drills at all the city schools:
l. That all persons leave build
ings during fire drills.
2. Provide adequate signal sys-
TENS so that an alarm can be sound
ed from all floors in all school build
ings.
8. That the kindergarten class at
the Antietam Street School be
moved to room having an outside
exit, or that an outside exit be made
in the present room.
4. That no rubbish or infamable
materials be stored or allowed to
accumulate in any school building.
5. That more fire extinguishers
be placed in each school building.
In placing these additional extin-
guishers special attention should be
given to boiler rooms, stages, audi
forums, laboratories, manual train
ing shops and kitchens.
6. That all exits of all buildings
be checked frequently and put in
good repair Immediately. All doors
should have safety catches, to elm
mate any chance of accidental lock-
ing.

Plans April Hearings.
Mr.. Hope is using the present
breathing space to lay plans for what
must follow when the depression
and war-bred support of farm prices
shall expire. He will start hearings
in April, after the first crush of leg
islation is over, at which he will de-
velop the whole picture of United
States agriculture in the postwar
era. His ambition Is to shape legis-
Iation that will prevent another Of
those farm depressions with its in
evitable train Of freak remedies and
crackpots.
AS his technique shows, the quiet
Kansan has come far from the lurid
populism of his native State. But
he puts this somewhat socialistic
tenet at the basis of his efforts:
the American people have accepted
the principle that farm prices must
not fall below the level of living
for the farmer in the same way that
they have accepted social security
for the worker.
Mr.. Hope asserts that he will go
into his hearings this spring un-
committed to any program or pana-
cea but intent only on discovering
how the job can be done. He esti-
mates that legislation can be shaped
during the summer recess, con-

contract came up Mr.. Breadon, de-
spite violent urging from his inner
self, did not suggest that Musial
take a cut in salary. Instead, he
indicated that he was perfectly
willing to pay the first baseman
the same amount he received in
1916.
Bread0n the Perfectionist.
To understand such hearted
ness one, must remember that
Musial did not lead the National
League in every department last
year. True, he led the League in
hitting, in runs scored, in most
number of hits, in doubles and in
triples. But he wasn't the best
pitcher or catcher, did not strike
out the MOST, was a dismal failure
when it came to beings hit by
pitched balls, and only played, in
1856 of the 156 games played by the
Cardinals.
So you can readily see that
Musial was not the complete play
er. 7 sort of feel that Mr.. Breadon
is a perfectionist and that in re-
fusing to grant Musial the tremend-
GUS pay increase that on the surface
1t would seem that he deserves is
really doing the youngster a favor.
Who knows but this year Musial,
spurred on by Mr.. Breadon's in
tereSt, will lead the League in
everything.
OF course, there is always the
chance that Musial may be stricken
with galloping Illustration before the
1947 season is over and become as
pale and wan as a Victorian lover
Even if by some miracle, or rope
trick, or by saving Mr.. Breadon in
half Ca trick, incidentally, that
thousands upon thousands of Card
inals have wanted to do), Musial
gets a $4,000 salary for 1s47, there
are still going to be days when he
will remember what Bob Feller, Ted
Williams and others are getting.
Goldfish VS.. Beer.
If Musial is a human being, and
know he is because he is a friend
of mine, he is bound to wonder why
a base hit in st. Louis is worth only
third of what base hit is worth
in Pittsburgh or Boston. Come to
think of it, I wonder about this
myself. Why is a home run that
sails over a barrel Of Goldfish much
more valuable than a home run
that sails over a barrel of beer?
Does Mr.. Breadon feel that the
right to wear a cardinal perched on
a limb on your uniform is about
the same as the right to wear the
ribbon of the Knight of the Garter
and is worth more than all the gold
in the world? It may be, but he
never will completely convince ball
players that this Is tt7'ae.
Here's something else I wonder
about: Does Mr.. Breadon place a
different value on Musial when he Is
talking to Musial than when he is
talking to would-be purchasers Of
STAINS contract?
But why worry about Musial? He
is a great hitter, he has bat, and
he knows where Mr.. Breadon hangs
out. Any morning he could visit
Mr.. Breadon and raise his batting
average half a dozen points.

Mr.. Hope was a delegate to the

He is also deeply concerned with

No Easy Answers.
How well the committee will di-
gest the vast amount of information
and opinion it is accumulating can
not be guessed at this stage, but
there lis reason to hope that it may
perform this function very well
Doctors tell us that anger and other
emotional disturbances are bad fol-
the digestion. The committee men,
bers seem remarkably free from
anger. No disposition to punish
anybody has thus far been revealed
That is not the mood even of young
Senator Ball, author of some of the
most drastic bills under considera-
tion. He seems merely to be con-
vinced that he knows the answers
to the problem that has been de-
veloping ever since the advent of
the industrial age and is willing to
put his answers to the test.
The one thing that has become
clearest, however, is that there
aren't any easy answers; that there
isn't any simple answer. 1t isn't
q matter of unquestioned principle;
of Right or Wrong, with a capital
r and q capital w, but of many
sorts of rights and many sorts OF
wrongs that have grown out OF

vance the conditions of his living
The committee and the Congress
cannot undertake to make over the
whole fabric of human relations ir
industry. It can only seek to pro-
vide some adjustments where the
laws of the land work unfairly on
one side or the other in the field
of employment and where the laws
fail to protect the public as a whole
or fail to serve the Nations best
interest.
That seems to be the spirit ir
which the committee is now operat.
ing. As il gets deeper and deeper
, into its problems the committee
probably has grown more. and more
humble in the face of the difficulties
presented. That should have hap
pened by now, if it hasn't. ~
Complexities of Problem.
Consider the complexities of the
problem:
Senator Ball. after serious study
and searching of his soul, offers, the
Senate a series of solutions. His
original political sponsor, a former
