To Prevent Potato sprOuting

A method to prevent sprouting
and "sweetening" of potatoes while
in storage during the winter months
has been announced. Certain chem
icals sprayed on the potatoes as they
are packed in sheds, barns, cellars,
pits and warehouses will forestall
the sprouting and other damage u.s.
ually accompanying changing temp
creatures in such places. The new
treatment, it is said, is entirely
harmless to the food, and may also
be used on other root crops.

Prosperity Causes Shortages

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
says that the present prosperity OF
the American people is responsible
for many of our shortages. With
more money people are demanding
and consuming more food and other
commodities. In 1943 the average
consumption of meat was 1875 pounds,
Mr.. Anderson stated, while in 1916
it will probably total 200 pounds per
person.

Bowling
By DOUG STEWART

The Boys Saturday Morning
Bowling League got off to a flying
start at Raney'ssColiseum on Satur-
day morning, with 80 youngsters
present from the various local boys
organizations. Several adult leaders
were also on hand to help Rufus Ed
wards get things started, and it is
hoped that more will show up next
Saturday.
Rules of the league call for all
boys to roll two qualifying games,
in order to get their averages, the
idea being that the boys with the
highest averages will become team
captains and their teams will be
evened up, with an equal number of
high and low average bowlers on
each team
The five highest bowlers last Sat
urday were: David Nigh (232), R.
Shove (224), Charles Wolfensberger
(215), Albert Brown (206) and Joe
Burger (194).
While new boys joining the league
next Saturday morning are. rolling
their two qualifying games, the boys
who qualified last Saturday will en-
JOY a morning of free bowling. When
all have qualified, the captains will
be selected and the teams picked.
With these details out of the way,
the league will really get into action,
with the first league games to be
played Saturday morning February
/.
All games are played at Raney's
Coliseum, 140 West Washington st.
All games are played on Saturday
mornings at $50, and most import
ant of all, all games are free, since
Gene" Raney is paying all expenses
of the league, as his contribution in
developing good craftsmanship and
good fellowship among the boys of
the community.
Leaders of all Boys organizations
in Hagerstown are urged to have
their boys take part in the league,
and they are also urged to have a
representative present at Raneys
Coliseum on Saturday morning at
$50 o'clock.

Uncle Johns Cabineers, after finally
dropping a game to the Harrisburg
Diaries at the Armory on Sunday
afternoon, bounced right back the
next night to resume their winning
ways in the City League.
Competition in the second half of
the City League is much keener than
in the first half, however, and the
Cabineers will have to keep right on
the ball if they expect to win the
league championship.
Next Sunday afternoon the Cab
ineers take on the Frederick Athletic
Club, in the first half of the weekly
double-header at the Armory, with
the Legionnaires playing the second
game.

1 always get kick out of hearing
that st. Mary's High School has won
in athletic competition, and so I am
glad to be able to report that the
Girls Basketball team took the
measure of the girls from st. JOS
eph's, of Martinsburg, on Tuesday
afternoon, to the tune of 80 to %.
Father Dausch has a much smaller
group of boys and girls to work on
than most of the other schools his
teams meet, but he has the knack of
instilling real fighting spirit into
all the teams he coaches and they
never know when to quit.
Keep up the good work St. Mary's,
and let's have more news about your
athletic activities.
The Maroon and Gray teams of
Hagerstown High School also had a
fine week.
Last Friday afternoon the girls
journeyed over to Frederick and, in
real thriller, held the Frederick
High School girls to a 1916 tie.
Tuesday night the boys teams kept
up the good work. The varsity team
took on Bladensburg High School
and pulled the game out of the fire
in the last minutes of play, to wind
upon the long end of a 1914 score
Not to be outdone, the Jayvees
took on the Woodland Way Varsity
team, and, in a nip and tuck tussle,
won by the close score of 81 to %
This was one game that kind of had
me on the spot, since boys from my
old Scout Troop were playing on
both teams.

FeIIer Out 10 Protect
Players Rights on
Cuban Trip, He Says
By the Assecioted Press

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 16.-Cleveland
Indian "Fire Ball King" Bob Feller
today hinged donation OF about
$4,000 for the American League
players pension fund on Baseball
Commissioner Happy Chambers
permission for Feller to pitch in the
Cuban Winter League this year.
"The money will run between $l5,-
900 and $4,000" Feller estimated,
"and It'll 60 to the pension fund if
the commissioner approves the ven-
ture"
Chandler previously announced
that no major leaguers would be
allowed to play as members of the
Cuban National League teams, but
would be permitted to play outside
the continental United States dur
ing 30-day transforming period
beginning October 8.
Feller said he and Bill Veeck, In
dians' president, have an under
standing about the proposed Cuban
venture.
II have the contract all drawn up
and 1t states very clearly that I am
not to play with or against any in
eligible players" he declared.
II want to prove that I'm not 60
ing to Cuba for any selfish interest," -
the big Highlander said, but be-
cause there is principle involved
and that is the right of any ball
player to work at his chosen profess
sion.
Il don't want my actions to cause
any other major league ball players
to lose their rights, either. I know
lot of them have or will be offered
contracts to play games in the
Cuban league and I think they
should have this right without it
affecting their baseball future"
| Feller said he will file his appli-
cation to pitch five games for the
Almendares club at the same time
he applies for permission to operate
a transforming tour of Cuba with
team of major league stars. The
schedule for the tour is not COM
plete yet. he added.

So 81! 4r'Os GsH7711 I! S

A major face lifting is going or
at Catholic U. Those old wooden
stands in the Brookland Bowl, which
just fell to pieces from disuse, are
coming out and new cement stands
are going up on one side. Athletic
Director Eddie La Fond hopes to
have one side completed before the
Cards first game.
Roger Antaya, Dartmouth stand
out in 1941-42-43, has joined the
G. w. staff as line and center
coach. Knuckling down to work
last week, he dragged out the movies
of G. WIS games last year just to
see what he had to work with. First
game he saw was that william and
Mary, 20; George Washington, o
thing. Very discouraging, because
G. w. gained hardly more than five
yards that game, while the indians
got two of their touchdowns just by
pounding through the G. w. line.
Incidentally Antaya, like all new
corners to Washington, is looking
for an apartment. Currently he is
holed up in a fraternity house, but
the boys will be back to school soon
and need that space.
What with several boys who
flunked out last fall and one thing
and another, @. w. may be a little
short on good players this fall. But
there's one bright light shining
through the gloom. Fullback Jbe
Bernot. starter with the freshman
outfit in. 1941 and with the varsity
in AZ, is coming back. He's been a
first sergeant In the Army and
almost made q career of it. Pete
Labukas, who also comes from
Pennsylvania, talked him into re-
turning to G. w., however. .
: Starting already on his fall plans,
Hagerty at Georgetown is thinking
of shifting Jim Nails, a guard last
year, to center. There is a shortage
of centers, it seems. The tackle sit
uation looks better, with Jim
O'Keefe already down to 246 pounds.
That's 20 pounds less than he was
last fall. The weight came off while
he worked with Jim McNamara at
the Jewish Community Center this
summer.
Frank Fenwick, G.. u. tackle In
1912, is back in school, but won't
have time to play this fall. He was
a flyer during the war and now Is
married. Another Hoya athlete
who'll be in school, but not playing,
is Bill McGurk, who was quite a
pitcher there before the war. Bill
goes to school only In the fall and
plays pro ball with Utica in the
spring and summer. Also a pro
pitcher is Wixted, end of the Orange
Bowl team, who is back as frosh
coach. He tossed in the Cape Cod
League this summer.
