Baseball
There's an old saying in sports
that ''the team that won't be licked,
can't be licked" and surely that was
really demonstrated on Monday af-
ternoon, when the Cleveland In
dians came up off the floor and
knocked out the Boston Red Sox
with a one-two punch.
1t would be unfair to give credit
for the comeback to any one MEM
Der of the team, because they were
all in there swinging, but I've just
got to agree with "Spud" Chandler,
the old-time Yankee pitcher, that
Lou Boudreau is the outstanding
all-round baseball player of all time.

BY the time this story appears
in print, the first game of the World
Series will be over, but regardless
of who won the first game, I've got
to pick the Cleveland Indians to
win the Series.
In the September 80 issue of the
Philadelphia Daily News there is
the most ridiculous story I've ever
read, written by Ed Delaney, the
Daily News baseball editor. In the
story. Delaney not only gives Culp
all the credit for the Owls finishing
out of the cellar, but he also made
the ridiculous statement that Culp's
success as a manager brought out
the fans in such numbers that Hag-
erstown's season attendance was 3d.
600. the fourth best in the league,
whereas you will see from the official
attendance records of the Interstate
League given below, that Hagers-
towns actual home attendance was
51.3O7, the lowest in the league.
Benny Culp did good job while
he was here, but after reading De
laney's story you get the impress
ion that Culp was the whole ball
club, and it is obvious that Culr
gave Delaney "a lot of stuff" that
was, to say the least of it, plenty
exaggerated.

Showing marked improvement
over their opening game, the Hag-

Martinsburg on Friday night, the
difference in the score being Mar
tinsburgs ability to kick the point
after the touchdown, the final score
being rs.
Tomorrow Eddie Senior takes his
squad over to Cumberland to meet

and if they play the brand of ball
they played at Martinsburg on Fri

come home with their first win of
the season.
The upsets in the college football
games on Saturday-the licking that
Northwestern gave Purdue was a
striking examples one of the reas-

over the professional game like a

These young men on the college
football teams forget all about one
weeks game when they start in on
the next, and they just play their
hearts out until the final whistle
blows, whether they're in front, or
behind by twenty points.
The Maryland Terrapins opened
up in the second half against the
Delaware eleven on Saturday night
and showed that even without Gam
bino they're going to be tough
team to beat all season long.
Their game on Saturday night at

Home Ties in State Societies

D. ACK IN 1862, in the midst
~ of the Civil War, the
Michigan people living in
washington decided that the
sons of their native State
then serving in the Union
Army needed special atten-
tion. They got together and
visited the Michigan con-
valescents in the Washington
hospitals, taking them food
and gifts and otherwise try
ing to make them as comfort
able as possible.
Thus, out of a mission of
mercy, the Michigan State
Society came into being, set
ting the pattern for sim
liar organizations from other
States. In 1896 the North
Caroilnlans In washington
formed a State society, and In
1900 and 1908 the Missourians
and New Workers, respective
ly, followed suit. Today
there are Al State societies
in Washington, representing
every State except Maryland,
whose club has been inactive
for the last few years.
The State society fiourishes
here as in no other city be-
cause so much of the popula-
ton is not native to WASH
ington. Government workers
from every State, Senators
and Representatives and their
Office stats join State So
cieties out of a natural desire
to preserve home ties. Some
join because they are lonely.
Sociality Is the keynote of
the societies, although there
is a new trend toward civic
Evening star., 1948-02-08

consciousness. They hold
dances. dinners, parties, boat
rides, teas. Last Easter the
North Carolina Club even
held an egg roll for children.
The new tendency is mani
tested by such things as the
endowment, with $4,000, OF a
room in the new George
Washington University Hos
pital by the New York State
Society, and the conferring
by the Virginia State Society
recently of certificates of
merit upon II Virginians who
had performed some out
standing service for the Dis
trict of Columbia. The same
society also is seeking to raise
enough money to endow a
virginia state Society room
In Children's Hospital.
Il don't see that the State
societies have any excuse for
existing If they don't do
som e hing constructive
something besides just having
dances and parties" says
John w. Rixey Smith, presi-
dent of the Virginia group
and secretary to the late Sen
ator Carter Glass for rs years.
III we can't do something
worthwhile, instead of being
just a bunch of professional
Virginians, then we ought to
disband. I've got no use for
professional Virginians, any
way" For dues ranging from
s. per person to $40 a couple
members of State societies
may enjoy about a dozen So
cial functions in the season
between September and April.
Evening star., 1948-02-08

For instance, North Carolina
will hold 10 dances during the
season, New York eight, plus
an assortment of parties and
other social functions.
Largest of the societies is
the North Carolina group,
with a membership of about
800. The next largest is New
York, with about 500, although
1t probably outdraws any other
In attendance at It's func-
tions. For that reason this
society has to have its dances
in State sections - southern
night, western night. eastern,
central and northern.
The organizations are non
political-a cheering note in
a town where rabid PARTISAN
ship Is the design for living.
Here politics takes a holiday.
In the New York group, for
example, you find the two
vice presidents are former
Senator James M. Mead, DEM
ocrat, and Representative
James w. Wadsworth, Repub-
lican.
Some of the societies are
headed by incumbent Con-
gressmen, others by former
congressman, and still others
by persons whose names have
been familiar around WASH
ington for years. Among the
latter are Mr.. Smith, Leslie
L. Biffie, former secretary to
