winners, as they have a five-game
lead. This will also mean a roll-off

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

League meeting the Waynesboro Y
Juniors.
The Optimistic. Joseph's game
was closely fought right down to
the final whistle. In the First Quar-
ter, the Mighty Mites with their
dazzling passing attack, racked up
four field goals in quick succession,
but the Optimists soon built up a
defense, and from then on it was a
ding-dong battle.
In the Third Quarter the local
boys tied the score, and as they
started the Fourth Quarter, they
actually went ahead 1920 But Mar
tinsburg dominated the last few
minutes of play and finally won
out 1924
In the second game, the Pegasus
youngsters were unable to keep
pace with the Waynesboro boys
and came out on the losing end of
40-25 count.
Derek Schoen was high scorer for
the Optimists with IA points, and
Koontz was the high scorer for the
Pegasus with 16 points.
No games were played Tuesday
night, but the Tournament was re-
sumed last night, but, of course,
this weeks issue was off the press
before the games were even start
ed.
In the regular Junior Basketball
League here, the Funkstown indie
pendent A. C.'s have already sewed
up. the Championship of Division II,
and all that remains is to see
whether the Alsatians or the Lions
| will finish in second place.
The same situation arose in Divi-
sion / after last nights games, when
The Independent A. C.'s clinched
first place by winning from the
Moose five, while the second-place
Boys Club was being soundly troun-
ced by the third-place Optimist Club,
placing the latter two teams in a
tie for second place. The season ends
next Thursday night, with the Opt
mists meeting the Independent A.
C.'s, and the Boys Club taking on
Pegasus. The result of these two
games will decide which teams winds
up in second place.
After the regular season is over,
the first two teams in each division
will enter the playoffs for the Junior
League Championship.

Baseball

Manager Pep" Rambert started
the spring training of his 1943 edi-
ton of the Hagerstown Owls at the
Stadium on Monday morning, and
ne had a squad of around 20 to start
with,
Among last years members of
the team who are on hand are:
Bobby Martin, George Daddario,
Barney Schultz and Jim Wigle:
Also on hand are Mike Rooms, who
pitched for Sunbury last year, and
a couple of boys who trained with
the club last spring but were later
farmed out for the season.
Several more were expected in
yesterday, and by this time next
week we ought to have at least some
idea of what the boys look like.
Out at the Stadium on Monday l
noticed that they were all anxious
to get going, and Bobby Martin and
George Daddario were already talk
ing about the team leading again
this year in double plays.
The more talk to Manager Ram
bert, the more l feel that he is the
man for the job. He is quiet, but
has a way of making you understand
that he means just exactly what he
says. And whatever else happens
to the Owls in 1948. l don't believe
that anybody will complain of hav-
ing a team that isn't hustling every
minute
Mr.. and Mrs. Oren Sterling have
arrived in Hagerstown for the sea-
son, and Mr.. Sterling may be found
every day in his Office at the Ball
Park by any of you who wish TO
talk to him.
| talked with j. V. Jamison, Jr,
of the Field Athletic Association,
and he tells me that the Stadium is
in far from good shape, and that the
Association hopes that by 1949 there
will be a complete new grandstand
and a complete new fence, and he
assured me that when the new
fence goes up it certainly won't be
wood.
Mr.. Jamison said that this spring
all that they could do would be to
patch up the present fence as well
as possible, and there is already a
crew of carpenters on the job doing
just that.
Mr.. Jamison also informed me
that the Herald-Mail Company has
agreed to put up fine new score
board, which will be welcome news
to everyone.
l sincerely hope that the present
officers of the Washington County
Baseball League will get together
soon and eliminate the word Am
ateur" from their league.
1t is no secret that players are
being paid to play with the differ
ent teams, and the danger is that if
the league is called the Amateur
League" some school boy will get
to playing with one of the teams,
believing that it is a real amateur
league, and then when he gets up to
college, he will be barred from par
ticipation in college sports because
he has played in league in which
some of the players are paid.
President Paul Macy is supplying
me with the names of the members
of each of the teams as they come
in, and 1 hope next week to give
you a pretty fair roster of all the
clubs.
