BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

/ wonder when something is go
ing to be done to control the young
sters from completely wrecking the
Municipal Stadium?
/ don't mean the Knothole Gang,
who, under the direction of Jack
Hellane ARE behaving themselves
splendidly, but the gang of older
boys who are literally cutting the
fences to pieces; stealing balls -
even while batting practice is going
on-one of them stole manager
Bunny" Griffiths' watch out of the
dugout during batting practice the
other night, but quick work by the
Hagerstown-Polic Department re-
suited in the boy being arrested and
the watch recovered-and climbing
all over the fences, both inside and
outside the stadium.
On Sunday afternoon there must
have been some twenty or thirty
boys sitting on top of the fence in
center field and three of them even
climbed over the fence and were
standing on tn ledge of the fence
inside the park. Finally the plate
umpire stopped the game until they
standing on the ledge of the fence
but the umpires did absolutely moth
ing about the gang of boys who
were down by the Owls bullpen all
during the game, running out almost
to the foul line and scrambling up
the fence like lot of monkeys every
time a ball was hit over it.
! know that the Mayor and Coun-
Gil has leased the stadium to the Ha-
gerstown Field Athletic Association
Ga non-profit organization), for a
dollar a year; know also, that the
Athletic Association in turn leases
the park to the ball club for the
baseball season. But | also know
that the Municipal Stadium belongs
to the city of HagerstoWn and the
Mayor and Council should insist on
some action being taken to prevent
the property of the citizens of Ha-
gerstown being ruthlessly destroyed
by a gang of hoodlums.
Maybe if a patrol car cruised
around the outside of the stadium
once or twice for awhile, ordering
the boys down from the fences, and
the police on duty in the ball park
patrolled the inside, keeping the
boys from going onto any part of
the field, it might help, but one
thing is certain. Unless something
is done-and done quickly-there
won't be any fences left before very
long

strong popped to second and Barr
struck out.
Owcar got through the fourth al
right, but the Red Roses batted
around in the fifth to score four
more runs, with Nedelco replacing
Owcar after one Of the runs had
scored, two men were on base and
no one was out Nedelco was no
improvement and after he had al
lowed the second and third runs he
was yanked and Stratton went in,
finally putin out the fire after the
fourth run of the inning was scored.
Stratton got on fairly well until
the ninth, in fact he retired the side
in the eighth inning on three pitched
balls. On the first ball pitched Cow
lick flied to center. Armstrong also
swung at the first pitch, grounding
out second TO first, and Norris, the
fifth Lancaster pitcher in the game,
also went after the first one, going
out third to first.
But in the ninth, with the score
II to 10 in Hagerstown's favor and
three outs standing between STRAIT
ton and a marker in the win column,
he just wasn't there. McQuillan
started things off with a single to
left. Yost then hit a grounder to
Stratton, who had an easy play at
second, but he threw wild and both
runners were safe. He then gave
free ticket to Quimby, filling the
bases. Mccarthy was up next and
he singled to short left, driving in
McQuilan with the tying run and
leaving the bases still loaded Miller
relieved Stratton at this point and
Marlborough greeted him with a
single, driving in Yost with the win
ming run.
The Owls had a chance to put the
game on ice in their half of the
ninth, but they muffed it. Bunny
lGriffiths, who went to short in the
sixth after Lantz had been lifted for
a pinch hitter, opened the inning
with a single and Swanson, who had
pinch hit for Crumling earlier in the
game and then went behind the
plate, kept the rally going by sing
ling to short left center, Bunny stop
ping at second. Stratton was up
next but his attempted sacrifice
forced Griffiths at third for the first
out. Halvonic was hit by a pitched
ball, filling the bases, but Jenis
popped to the catcher and Yeash
grounded to the pitcher to retire
the side without run, leaving three
men on base.
The marathon took a matter of
two hours and forty minutes. Final
score: Lancaster, 12-18-2; Hagers-
town, 11-13-1

1t was terrific boxing match.
Fifty thousand spectators cheered
themselves hoarse as the, boxers
stood toe to toe and slugged each
other with dynamite rights and

Suddenly one Of the men
crumpled to the canvas. The crowd
went mad. The boxer took count
of three and then got up. In few
seconds he was fioored again. The
crowd went crazy. Fifty thousand
voices rose in one great sustained
roar.
The fighter on the canvas took
count of one-two-thl ee-four. The
roar of the crowd increased in vol
ume. Suddenly the fallen fighter
leaped to his feet and faced the bel
lowing multitude.
"Stop that fool howling" he
yelled. "How do you expect me to
hear the count?"

AUSTIN EXPLAINS SOVIET
 VOTES

JUN. delegate Warren Austin seemed slightly nervous while talk ing to the opinion mobilizers" and pleaded with them to keep his re- marks secret. He said that Soviet tactics at the United Nations were not as inconsistent as appeared on the surface and that many of the more violent speeches of Gromyko and his aides were purely propa- gandistic with little relationship to Russia's real position.
 When it comes to actual voting, Austin maintained, Russia is much closer to the other nations than she is on speechmaking. The pub lie doesn't realize, he said, how many times the Russians have agreed with the United States. The ex-Senator from Vermont ex- pressed the belief that Russia wants the United Nations to succeed. but was keeping enc foot in the door for an escape in case it became clear that the LIN no longer pro- yides Russia with protection.
 Austin urged greater public un- derstanding of Russian American problems. Best proof Of hope for C.S.-Russlan relations, he said, is the fact that Russia used the veto ten times last year, but only once this year.

about the truth" he said, but the truth about the facts"
 WATCHING FOR TORNADOES
 Tornadoes already have killed more people in six months of 1947 than in l2 months of any normal year. But despite this the Weather Bureau is likely to lose one of its best services in the past-volunteer weather lookouts.
 This volunteer system was built up during the war to warn muni- tions plants of approaching electric storms and rendered valuable service. It has continued since on a volunteer basis in order to warn farmers and rural communities of approaching twisters.
 However, without the wartime pa- triotic motive, the service is deter iorating from public apathy, and worried weather officials would like to bolster the volunteer system with a slight appropriation from their budget.

 Isn't it true" asked a represen- tative of the National Council of Negro Women, that Russia is triendlier to the darker races than the United States?"
 This angered Henderson
 The Russians never did anything constructive Tn any nation or for any people" he replied. All they dc is tear down and destroy. You've nc idea what evil people they are"
 He denied that oil entered into the Near Eastern diplomatic pie ture, and maintained that though loss of oil rights would be disad- vantageous to the United States. it would not be decisive Henderson said he didn't think the Russian Near Eastern objective was oil eith- CT, since Russia has enormous un- tapped oil resources around the Caspian Sea, with no great reason for reaching into other countries tor petroleum.

Acheson denied that American foreign policy is disjointed hodge podge, describing it instead as "a seamless garment" all flowing In the same direction.
 The Undersecretary then gave a broad hint that the State Depart n1ent may soon compromise the Jewish position on Palestine. Issues like Palestine, he said, could not be discussed solely on. their own merits or on the basis ol right and wrong. Palestine had to be con- sidered as part Of an overall policy with overall objectives Several l.s- teners interpreted this to mean that the final decision on Palestine would be based on American policy toward Russian other words a policy ot not antagoniz.ng the Ar abs

How ever. Henderson declares.

 Henderson aiso charged that Crum had violated security regu- lations by making public certain secret State Department documents At an appropriate time" Tender son said. the State Department will make public all the documents or Palestine.
 Henderson also denied that any differences had ever existed be- tween the White House and tho State Department on Palestine, anc explained that cables dispatched by Roosevelt and Cordell Hull to Arat leaders were merely designed to as sure Arab chieftains that no change would take place in American pol icy toward Palestine without con- sulting Arabs and Jews.

1t plainly, a disabling injury will
strike some farmer in the United
States every minute in 1947. More
over, So farm people will die each
day as result of accidents.
Yet these facts need not be true
if farm families everywhere take
extra precautions. That's why Ma
tional Safety council, the depart
ment of agriculture and other CO.
operating farm organizations have
selected the slogan make Farm
Safety a Family Affair" as the
theme for the fourth annual observ-
ance of National Farm Safety Week,
July 2O-26.
Why is farming more dangerous
than any other occupation? Unlike
factories, the ordinary farm has
relatively few safety devices, no
safety engineers, no periodic inspec-
tons of equipment and no coordi-
mated safety programs. Almost ev-
cry accident is a result of careless
ness. And if carelessness is the
cause, education is the cure.
Education for the elimination of
hazards, and formation of safe hab-
its is the primary object of National
Safety Week. Each member of the
farm family may become safety
engineer, eliminating hazards and
forming safe working habits. Many
agencies will be cooperating in this
campaign, which has been pro-

of the youngest mayors in the Unit

Mooney, former army corporal,
who recently took the oath as may

which he promised Progressive

plans to remain in the ranks of vol

Chief interest for the young may

Since his graduation from high
school in 1941, Mooney has worked
with youngsters.

about it officially" he insists.
One of the major projects is a
