BASEBALL

There just isn't anything further
to report at this time regarding our
Hagerstown Owls, except to tell you
that few of the boys certainly
pulled a shabby trick on their last
day of the season. On the way back
from the morning game at York
they practically wrecked the inside
of the clubs bus by breaking win
dows and smashing seats. Not con-
tent with that, after the night game
here was over, some of them stole
every bat and ball that they could
lay their hands on.
When l heard of what happened
and saw the damage to the bus with
my own eyes. couldn't help wond-
ering where Manager Benny Culp
was. I've always thought it was the
duty of a manager to check the be-
longings of the club at the end of
the season, and baseball bats are not
something you can put in your vest

It looks as if the final playoff for
the Inter State Leagues Governors

| have just finished reading a very
fine booklet put out by the Athletic
Publicity Office of the University of
Maryland, that went to all sports
writers who might be interested in
the State University's football pro
gram for 1948.
1t is one of the best booklets that
has come across my desk in long
time, and / say this for two reasons.
First and foremost, it gives excep-
tionally fine coverage to the Univer-
sity's football team, and l doubt SER
iously whether there is a single
question anybody could ask about
University of Maryland football,
from way back in the 1905 to the
present date, that the booklet does
not answer.
The second reason that the book
let is so welcome to me, is the fact
there is an introduction by George
L. Carroll, of the Athletic Publicity
Office, inviting the working press to
send in their requirements for work
ing press passes. AS a sportswriter
for a weekly paper, it's quite re-
freshing to be recognized by one of
the major colleges, and the action of
the Athletic Publicity Office might
well be studied by the publicity de-
partment of the Baltimore Colts,
who for two years have flooded my
desk with news releases, only to
forget that there was a weekly pa
per by the name of the Globe-In-
dependent when it came time to mail
out the working press passes.
In my position it's very difficult
for me to get to many out-of-town
games, but whether l can make it
to any of the "Old Liner games" or
not, am deeply grateful to Jim
Tatum and all associated with him,
for their thoughtfulness in recogniz-
ing the sportswriters on the little
papers as well as the top-notchers.
