10 days per year and could be &C
cumulated up to go days.
The issue over the 27 high school
teachers was fought out at yester-
days three-hour session and again
during an hour and half argument
today.
Those voting with Senator Cain
in rejecting the proposed exemption
for the 27 teachers were Chairman
Buck of the full committee and SEN
ators Capper, of Kansas, KEN, of
Missouri, Flanders, of Vermont, and
Ball, of Minnesota, all Republicans
Voting for the exemption were Sem
ators Cooper, Republican, of Ken
lucky, and Senators Johnston, Hol-
land, Of Florida, Sparkman and Um-
stead, Democrats.
Proxies were voted for Senators
Capper. Ball, Holland and Flanders
Sees Breach of Faith"
The so-called compromise bill, in
seeking to set up modified single
salary scale plan" proposes that
teachers in either lower or high
schools who have masters degrees
be given a pay range of from $4,000
to $4,000, but those with only
bachelor degrees start at $4,000 and
60 to $4,000.
Senator Umstead argued that be-
cause the 27 high school teachers
had been given superior ratings and
increased pay which brought them
to the $4150 level they should be
classed under the new pay plan on
the level with teachers having
masters degrees. He held this to be
a moral obligation.
"It would be a terrible breach of
faith" he said, ito penalize them
now because of degree that they
do not have and which the School
Board said in 1888 they did not have
to have"
Hobart Offers Compromise.
Senator Cain replied that all
school interests had urged estab-
lishment of the so-called single sal
ary plan. He said, in opposing the
suggested exemption for the u
teachers, that you can't have youl
cake and eat it, too"
DR.. Hobart M. Corning, schoo
superintendent, suggested a COM
promise. There are total of 19t
teachers in the high schools, he
said, who had been given superior
ratings under the 1888 system, only
27 of whom had reached the $4,l5t
maximum. He suggested that since
all other teachers would be given s
raise of $3.50 July / that the q
teachers be advanced to $4,000 anc
stop there unless they obtain ar
M. A. degree. The rest of the 1e!
teachers, he suggested, also shouls
be permitted to go eventually Il
$4,000 instead of stopping at $4,000
Both Senators Umstead ans
Sparkman fatty rejected this, say
ing If a discrimination was to b,
cured the affected teachers shoul,
be given a full measure of correc
ton.
The House District Commits
promptly approved the latest draf
of the compromise, plan yester
day, and it was scheduled fo
House action at a special DiStric
day session tomorrow.

''he announced so that apparently
no one but the Odessa catcher
could hear him that the last pitch
was strike. The Umpire stated
that the runner moved off toward
first and continued giving the rum
ners the impression that he had
been walked which misled the run
ners in believing they had to move
up rather than finding out what
the pitch had been called before he
advanced to first. So in accord
ance with the rules of the Baseball
Guide the runner advanced to-
wards first without definitely find
ing out what the pitch had been
called and he misled the runners
into believing that they had to
move up and that they were NOV
ing at their own risk and subject
to being put out if a play could be
made. In no circumstance could
time be called as the pitch had
been called and the ball was still
in play. Therefore regardless of
the feelings in the matter we must
abide by the rules and in not being
able to find rule that would up
hold the protest 1 rendered the de-
cision that the play would stand as
called.
Feeling that I would like to
know just how a play of this type
would be handled in the Major
Leagues I forwarded all the infor-
nation that had been received to
Eddie Rommell, American League
Umpire for his comment. Mr..
Tilghman, Smyrna Manager, has
noted the information that went
forward to the Major League UNI
pire. A telegram reply was re-
ceived from Eddie Rommell which
made the same decisions as have
rendered and I quote his telegram,
"Umpires decision should stand.
The Protesting Team admits his
hand came out calling a strike.
The Players run at their own risk.
81 Ed Rommel." "
The telegram reply from Eddie
Rommel has been forward to Mr..
Tilghman and is in his possession.
In closing 1 feel that under the
circumstances of the information
that 1 have received from the
parties involved in accordance with
our League Bylaws No. II that a
lust decision has been rendered and
as stated before regardless as to
how the many personal feelings
may be as to the play we can only
Smyrna times., 1947-09-18

take action on the basis of the
games rules and in no case will any
rules of the Baseball Guide uphold
the protest as it states that at all
times the runners are moving up
at their own risk unless they are
definitely sure. And in this case
the pitch had been called strike
but the batter continued to first
misleading the runners to believe
that he had walked which in true
sense wasn't the situation and that
the runners moved off the bag at
their own risk and subject to any
play that would be made. In no
way would the rules of baseball al

and under the circumstances, 1 can
realize as well as any of the Smyr-
ma fans that it was very unfortun-
ate that the situation had to arise
at such a time to make the game
end as it did when it was so i'm
portant to both teams. I would
like to say that I admire the way
Mr.. Tilghman filed the protest and
further the manner in which he re-
ceived the decision which 1 assure
you is a real credit to the Smyrna
organization. This is not true
with all the members of the organ

abusive phone calls even to the

point of threatening body harm. OF
course as for this part 1 have con-
sidered the source and feel sure it
is not the true meaning of the
Smyrna organization. 1 have also
received comments of ridicule that
I feel are not justified as I assure
you a proper decision has been
made and that no one can prove to
me that thte rules have not been
complied with. If it can be shown
to me that am in error in making
this decision / assure you / stand
ready at anytime to make any nec-
essary corrections. 1 have been
told that the game should have
been played on neutral grounds. 1
would like to offer the following in
formation so as the fans will be
fully informed and that is that all
matters pertaining to the rules of
the v League and any matters per-
tanning to the playing of the

vidual. Every Club in the V

During the past year the V

LETTER R
m EDITOR


Following is a continuation of a
report on the odessa-Snnyrna base
ball game by League President,
Pat Knight:
The report from the Odessa
Team was received from Earl
Sheats, Team Capt, in the abb
sence of Mgr. Lou Mandes who was
out of town on business and is as
follows:
"Since Lou Mandes is away will
give you the story on the 9th inn
ing of the ball game between
Smyrna and Odessa. During the
1st of the 9th Smyrna had scored
two runs and they had two men
out with a man on 1st and End.
The batter had three balls and no
strikes on him. Lou Wright threw
the next pitch and the Umpire
called it a strike. The batter
started to 1st base not waiting to
find out what the umpire had CALL
ed the pitch. I was catching the
game and as soon as I heard the
Umpire say it was strike l start
ed toward second base as the men
on 1st and End base had moved off.
We trapped the base runner be-
tween End and 3rd base and tagged
him out for the final out of the ball
game. This is what happened
making the final score of the ball
game IL to in favor of Odessa
I'm sure there was no other way
the play could be called The
Smyrna batter left for his base toe
soon and the base runners moved
ahead before finding out what the
fourth pitch was.
I am trying to give you an un-
biased opinion of what actually
happened at the ball game as
saw it,
s. Earl L. Sheats
After receiving the information
above in accordance with the
League Bylaws No. II I made 6
thorough study of the contents as
we'll as checking the Rules of the
Official Baseball Guide. In order
to uphold a protest there must bt
a violation of the rules and it was
found that no rule in the Guide
would uphold the protest ant
therefore Mr.. Tilghman, Smyrna
Manager, was notified on his visit
to Dover on Saturday that the pro
test was not allowed and the game
would stand as played. This de
cision was arrived at as follows
The Smyrna Team and the Umpire
admitted that the Official made 6
motion with his right hand The
Umpire stated that he had beer
calling strikes during the entire
game in the same manner and a.
no time did he point toward frs
and tell batter to take his base
1t is the normal practice for al
Umpire to use his right hand il
calling strikes by voice and indica
ton. The Umpire stated that il
addition to using his right hand t.
call the strike he also indicated b,
voice but due to the noise being
created by the crowd it was ex
tremely difficult no doubt to heal
but if the batter had watched tn,
motion of the arm he would hav,
known that a strike was called
The catcher stated that he heart
the pitch being called a strike anc
acted accordingly after noting tina
the runners had moved off the bas
es toward End and 3rd. In th
Smyrna protest it is PRACTICAL.

costumes.
One of those earned an exclama-
