BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

1l-27-47
Dear Doug
Here's a shovel-full of question
mark coal for the Hot Stove League.
Didn't Bernie Jenis set league
record when he stole second base
five times in five consecutive times
at bat in a single game? Doesn't
this beat the Major league record,
or equal it? Doesn't it top the best
performance of the greatest of all
base stealers Ty Cobb?
Wasn't Bernie's "circus-leap-out"
of the foul fly in deep-right- bleach
ers territory (late in the season
when most of the boys stop trying)
the fielding gem of the season? Re-
member how, following a full-speed
run, he dove head first, landed on
his stomach and with outstretched
arm snagged the ball (inches away
from the wire fence)l If you love
this kind Of baseball, don't you
think there should be a doctor in at
tendance before each game can Off
cially start?
Didn't little Bunny and his flock
of cocky 6edgelings steal your heart
away the night they handed the
formidable Curt Simmons a defeat
his first in organized balm his
own back yard, before home crowd
of some 1000 fans? something the
N. Y. Giants couldn't do several
weeks later in an official Major
League game.
And wasn't that game won on
Dick williams homer a feat that
Johnny Mize, the home-run-king
who menaced Babe Ruths record
most of the season, couldn't accom-
plish against Simmons?
Wasn't Dick the most tragic figure
of the 1947 season, and didn't it
take raw courage for a boy who was
"beaned" and spent several days in
the hospital earlier in the season, to
take that vicious cut at the skull
crushing serving of Curt?
l got the greatest thrill of the
season when Honest Dick Williams
committed drama that night in Will
mington.
Can you top it?

Several of us tried to find out
whether Jenis' base stealing ram
page was record Harry, but it APP
pears that there are no records avail
able on consecutive stolen bases by
a single player. Perhaps some of
our local baseball fans might supply
the answer.
Here's hoping some definite news
about the Owls will be available
after the meeting in Miami. The
big question is, of course, who will
be the manager? Somehow I have
a feeling that definite news on that
score may not come for quite a
while yet However, l am sure that
Oren Sterling will keep me posted
on developments and / will pass "a
long the news as fast as | get it.
There will be, no doubt, all kinds of
rumors-as there have been in the
past-but what 1 want, is informa-
ton right from ''the feed box" as
they say in horse racing circles.

Congratulations to Coach Tatum
and his squad on their invitation to
meet Georgia in the Jacksonville
Bowl game on New Years Day. The
University of Maryland has right
to be proud of its football squad
and the coach and what they have
done this year should be only a
forerunner of things to come. It's
my belief that the Terps are going
to put Maryland back into big time
college football
l heard the game on the radio
I've read accounts of no less than
five nationally known football
scribes-and I've just got to admit
that, with the exception of the first
part of the first quarter, Navy
never had a chance. I've been a
Navy fan for years and I expected
them to win, but the fact remains
that they were beaten by an Army
team that was far superior in every
department of the game. Congrat-
ulations Army on a well deserved
victory.
Home fans of the Maroon and Gray
football squad of Hagerstown High
School will get better break. next
year, as the team will play six OF
its games at home. The schedule,
released this week by Coach Sem
Ter, shows that, Charlotte Hall, Pat
terson Park, Martinsburg, Hershey
Fort Hill and Waynesboro, will play
here With the exception of Patterson
Park, of Baltimore, the Maroon anc
Gray squad will meet the same
teams they played against this year

A LITTLE MOUSE UNDER THE CHAIR

Although we often think of nursery rhymes as a source of
diverting nonsense for children, a closer examination will re-
veal that they sometimes abound with good sense for adults
A case in point is the jingle:
pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been"
Give been to London to visit the Queen"
PUSSY cat, pussy cat, what saw you there?"
81 saw a little mouse, under the chair"
Now the trouble with this cat is that she closely resembles
the great majority of human beings. When she went to court,
all the pomp and splendor of palaces and royalty escaped her.
She only saw a mouse. Why? Not because she was stupid
or dull or notably unobserving. She simply had not background
with which to interpret her experience. She knew nothing
about the character and habits of royalty. She knew, through
long observation and training, all it was useful for her to know
about the character and habits of mice.
Human beings, as we'll as pusSycats, tend to see and under
stand only what they know. That which they have not learned
about through experience or education is unlikely ever to be
reflected in the eyes of their minds. The courtier would see
the Queen and miss the mouse. The pussy cat saw the mouse
but paid no attention to the Queen.
If people do not always see what they are expected to see,
we should not lose patience with them. We should lose pa
thence with ourselves for not having taken the trouble to teach
them to see it.
That is why a program of public education should never be
considered something to be brought out only in a crisis, but in
stead, should be a continuing measure of preparedness against
people has been trained through a persistent program of
public education, they will always recognize the truth in full
significance when it is put before them.
