Navy Enlistees May
Choose Any School

Chief John Squires, mead of the
local Navy Recruiting Station in
Hagerstown, announced last week
that he has been advised by the
Navy Department in Washington,
D. c., that during the month of June
only, all new enlistees may, before
joining the Navy, choose any, of the
Navy schools of their choice and be
assured of entrance in that school.
Chief Squires stated that this is
the first time that the green light
has been issued for unlimited choice
of enlistment for all Navy schools.
Heretofore, new enlistees gave
preference of a school, and if there
happened to be an opening, after the
six weeks "boot" training, the en-
listee got it if not, he was sent
wherever the Navy chose.
All High School Graduates who are
undecided about college this fall, or
who cannot for some reason 60 to
college, are invited to investigate
the plan of higher education in the
U. S. Navy where they can be paid
while they learn. The Recruiting
Station is located in the City Hall.

Allentown's seventh and final run
came in the fifth. With one away,
Muzzo doubled to left and went to
third when Halvonic knocked down
Ciaffone's hard smash, but was I'M
able to make a play Git was scored
as a hit. Watkins then forced Ciaf-
fone at second, with Muzzo scoring
on the play.
The Owls had a good scoring
chance in the second inning when,
with one out, Christie singled to
left and Rooms followed with a
double to left, with Christie NOV
ing to third. Martin was called out
on strikes, but Crumling drew a
base on balls to fill the sacks, but
the rally ended when Kapucinski
grounded out.
Mike Rooms was taken out of the
game at the end of the third inning
and Barney Schultz then took over
the first base chores.
HagerStoWn had another scoring
opportunity in the fourth when
Schultz, the first man up, hit a pop
fly that fell safely between Ciaffone
and first baseman Cunningham, and
Martin followed with base on balls.
Crumling then popped up to the pit
cher and Ciaffone struck out But
Marve Feltman kept the rally going
for a moment, when he also drew q
walk, filling the bases, only to have
Halvonic ground out to third to end
the inning.
Then came Ed Yeash's home run in
the fourth-he was the first man up

YORK HERE
Monday, June y

The York White Roses swept their
four game series with the Owls, TAX
ing the final game on Monday night
by a score of 9-5.
Bill Wigle started on the mound
for HagerstoWn, but it was pretty
obvious from the start that he didn't
have his stuff and was taken out in
the sixth, after six runs had crossed
the plate, and Birrer went the rest
of the way. Ray Kalkowski, left
handler, was on the mound for York
until he was taken out for a pinch
hitter in the ninth, and Loveness
came in to pitch the last inning.
Kalkowski was the winning pitcher,
and Wigle was the loser.
York jumped off to a one-run lead
in the top half of the first when
Kovalak singled, was sacrificed to
second by Street, went to third on
Plates single and scored on Gior-
dano's fly to left field. Ed Yeash put
the Owls ahead 81 in the bottom
half, when he hit one over the Bikes
Shoe Shop sign in left field scoring
behind Halvonic, who had walked.
The White Roses made it 80 in
the third on successive singles by
Kovalak, Street and Plate, coupled
with double steal and a long fly
to right field.
In the top half of the fourth, Shee-
han, the York catcher, hit home
run over the right field wall to put
York ahead AZ, but Rooms came
right back in the bottom half and
banged one over the center field
wall to make it 4-3.
IteWas 6-3, York, in the sixth in
ming, when Taffit opened with
single to center and scored ahead of
Sheehan, who got his second four
Dagger, this. time over the leftfeld
wall. That was all for Wigle, and
Babe" Birrer came in.
The Owls made it GA in the sew
enth when Crum1ing singled to cen
ter, and Bobby Martin scored him
with a double to right. But York
came right back in the top half of
the eighth to score their seventh and
eighth runs. Sheehan opened the
inning with his third straight hit,
a ci1,o1o A. yio1o+ Ka11zoxrrc1yi +1ooy,
beat out hit to second and Kovalak
followed with a single to center,
scoring Sheehan and sending Kali
kowsli to third, from where he
scored on Bill Plates long fly to
center field.
Hagerstown got their fifth and
final run in the eighth frame when
Yeash walked, went to second on

While I'm on the subject, let me
also address a word to the kids that
are given the privilege of the ball
park free or charge.
A knothole section is reserved
for them, and unless they learn to
stay in there and behave themselves,
they will find before long that there
won't be any more knothole gang.
But it isn't only those kids that
deserve censure there is al
so a bunch that hang around in the
parking lot and worry people to
death for tips, and then when they
sometimes don't get them, bawl the
motorist out with language that
would shame many full-grown
man.
The Municipal Stadium, despite
the fact that it is leased to the Hag-
erstown Baseball Club, is the prop
erty of the citizens of Hagerstown
and it's high time that the Police
Department put a stop to these kids.
who not only worry the life out OF
motorists trying to park their cars
but are literally cutting the fences

l know that kids will be kids, be-
cause I've worked with them fol-
over twenty years, but there's q
limit to all things, and conditions
outside the Hagerstown Ball Park
have reached that limit. And who
else have we got to look to for pro-
lection, if it isn't our Police Force?

and Kapucinski took over from
there.
York picked up a run in the top
half of the second when Merson beat
out a hit to short; was safe at Sec
ond when Martin made an error on
Tafit's ground ball, and scored on
Sheehan's single to center.
The Owls tied it up in their half
Daddario led off with a single. Jack
Netcher, the Owls new center field
er, then grounded to Merson, who
booted the ball for an error and Net
cher was safe at first, with Daddario
moving to second. Both runners
then advanced a base on a wild pit
oh. Rooms then grounded to the
short stop, who threw him out at
first, with Daddario scoring on the
play. Crumling then popped up to
second base, and Martin went out
third to first to retire the side.
York made it 81 in the top half of
the fourth. With one away, Merson
singled to left and went to third
when YeaSh booted the ball, from
where he scored while Giordano was
being thrown out at first on a ground
ball. Elliott was up next and
reached first on an error by Rooms,
but Taffit forced him at second for
the third out.
That was all of the scoring until
the seventh inning, when the White
Roses teed off on Bolton and scored
four runs on seven hits. After the
fourth run had crossed the plate,
with two men out, Bolton was taken
out, and Kapucinski went to the
mound Taffit was the first man to
face him, and while he was at bat,
Giordano was out at the plate when
attempting to score while Merson
was stealing second.
! The Owls made their final two runs
in the bottom half. Bobby Martin
led off with a single, and then Ka-
| pucinski grounded to the pitcher,
who threw to second too late to get
Martin and bottle runners were safe.
Feltman then popped up to the short
stop, but Halvonic was safe at first
when Elliott booted his ground ball,
and the bases were full. Yeash was
up next, and he forced Halvonic at
second, with Martin scoring on the
play, Daddario then drew walk,
filling the bases for the second time
Netcher followed with a single to
left, scoring Kapucinski and leaving
the bases still full. But Rooms made
the third out when he flied to Street
in left field.
Notes on the game: With Jack
Netcher taking over center field
''Marve" Feltman went to his reg
ular position in right field, and the
change seemed to do him a lot OF
good. He fielded his position per-
fectly, his running catch in foul
territory of Kovalak's drive in the
third inning, being the outstanding
play of the day. In addition to his
fielding, he suddenly started hitting
getting three for five, including {
double.
Gene Crumling, who put up {
terrific squawk when he was called
out at first on a double play in the
sixth, was thrown out of the game
by the umpire.

liberately spat in the face of 49,

the dictum that the Negroes of
this country have no rights that

The "incurable" Negro Repub-

tinue in power a party that so
flagrantly insults their dignity as
citizens of this country, there is
simply no help and no hope for

Between The Lines
BY Dean C. B. Hancock for AMP

When President Truman label
ed the just adjourned congress as
the worst in the history of the ma
ton, he was coming close to the
truth. Howere vociferous the de-
mails, the fact remains the Re-
publicans seemed drunk with pow
err and were more bent on defeat
ing constructive legislation in the
interest of party power and pres
tige than on serving the nation.
Their victory over Truman may
prove to be an empty n in the
long run, for they have built up
a case against the Republican par
ty that can be used to great eff
feet in the coming election. The
Republican party has placed the
nation at the mercy o fthe cold
blooded politician. Much needed
legislation has been by-passed in
the interest of party politics. Tru-
mans civil rights recommendations
have been basely and grossly dis
regarded and the wishes and in
terests of Negroes have been
thrown to tn political winds.
There is one thing the Negro
in the country candefinitely con-
clude and that is, political parties
as such mean little when it comes
to guaranteeing his rights. When
Israel was in Egypt, a change OF
dynasties made no difference in
their wretched conditions. So in
this country, a chance in political
administrations makes little or no
difference in the conditions OF
Negroes, MOI in the political dis
abilities from which they suffer,

vantages enjoyed under the New
Deal-and they we're far more
numerous than they had ever been
were wrought by Roosevelt oft
times in spite of the Vaccinations
of the Democratic party.
Just how Roosevelt accomplish
ed so much with so little, will
ever remain one o fthe modern
wonders of the political world.
The socalled Grand Old Party has
just left the bat. 1t struck out in
g~loriously. Negroes will go to bat
in November. That will be their
opportunity to redress the wrongs
that the Republican congress has
indirectly thrust upon them.
Many Negroes forget about the
political complexion of congress
and concentrate upon the candi-
dates named on the ballots they
must cast. There are two avenues
open to Negroes, one is to get out
the Negro vote and the other is to
vote for the most promising politi-
cal personality. 1t is sometimes ad-
vantageous to be able to choose
between evils.
One of the great current dan
gers among Negroes is to busy
themselves criticising our politi-
cal apathy instead of doing some
thing about it. The privileged Ne
gro must take more time with
the fellow in the streets. The av-

Doodles reminds you of short

his cross-eyed pantomining will.

them freely. His baseball gag is

cause I wear my old Stanford

good shape"
But it should be. Doodles ex-
planned he was one of those ath-
letes just good enough to make
the squad, but never quite big
enough or good enough to be a
star. A good gander at his frail
physique, 145 pounds stretched
over a 6-foot-1 frame with a
fringe of red hair on top, makes
you wonder how he ever got into
Stanford, much less on the foot
ball squad.
