 The communist-d directed Greek rebel army broadcast an an- nouncement that it was stopping miitalry operations in the bloody civil war, because it didn't want to destroy Greece.
 The Greek general staff wasn't impressed. The rebels were stop ping, it said, bcauSe they were al- ready licked.
 The cease fire correSponded with moves in the United Nations to pour oil on the choppy waters of Greek relations with her com muniSt neighbOrs. A special U. N. group has drawn up suggestions for resolving the fight, based on Greek charges that Albania, Bull garia and Yugoslavia have aided the Greek guerrillas.
 The broadcast made it clear that the case fire was linked to the steps being taken at Lake Sue cess. It said that Russia now is negotiating a peaceful settlement fthe Greek question.
 In Jogjakarta, Java, the Indo- nesia republics minister of de- fense expressed fear that open warfare would break out again in Java and Sumatra.

Moose Hold Annual
Bowling Banquet

Last week the Moose League held
their annual banquet in the Moose
Hall, and as usual, everybody had a
fine time, and grand meal was
served. Rufus Edwards was Master
of Ceremonies and he was intro
duced by Riney Schlotterbeck, the
statistician.
Cody Black, who engineered the
league through a fine season, spoke
briefly, and Glenn Thomas, who SO
ably handled the Globe-Indepen-
dents Bowling Page of the Air"
program over WEI throughout the
season, was also introduced.
Then followed the usual story-tell-
ing competition between Frank Col
ley and H. S. Douglas, which is an
annual feature at the Moose Ban
quets, and which always gets lots of
laughs.
There was some talk of bringing to
the attention of the Police Commits
sioner the fact that Cody Black. the
chairman of the bowling committee
wound up with the high average in.
the league G16.D, but Riney Schlot-
terbeck assured everybody that it
would be waste of time, as there
could be no proof of collision.
The banquet closed with the dis
tribution of prizes to the various
winners in the league.

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart


Then on Wednesday night, April
q, the regular season will open,
with the Owls opening in Allen
town, playing there the 9th and
18th, and then coming home to
open the season here against Sun
bury on April 49,
This is the time of the year when
sportswriters shut their eyes, dip in
the bag, and come up with their
representations as to the outcome
of the Major League pennant races,
so here we go:
The American League race re-
minds me very much of a horse
race, with two horses standing out
as heavy favorites. When this is the
case it often happens that the two
hot tips usually run each other in
to the ground on the back stretch,
and dark horse takes them both
in the stretch to win going away.
On paper the Cleveland Indians
and the Boston Red Sox are in a
class by themselves, but don't be
surprised if they do what the horses
do, And if that happens, the Phil
adelphia Athletics need only to inn
prove little on their 1948 record
to slip by them in the stretch for
all the money.
So let's once again put the Ath-
letics on top, Boston in the second
slot, Cleveland in third, followed by
Yankees, Detroit, Washington st.
Louis and Chicago.
49,
In the National League it's an en-
tirely different story, for here is a
race that on paper looks to be wide
open, with not a single stand-out.
In my book l can't see the Boston
Braves repeating; in fact, l don't
believe they'll finish one-two.
So let's put the Brooklyn Dodgers
on top, solely because l believe they
will play SO per cent better ball un-
der Burt Schotten. l like Pittsburgh
in the second slot, Boston third, St.
Louis fourth, followed by the Phil
lies, the Giants, the Reds and the
Cubs.
But in making these selections for
the National League l again want to
emphasize that any one of the eight
clubs has chance to upset the dope
completely
The Y. NJ c. A. County Softball
League is all set to open its season
on May l, and the Washington Coun-
ty Baseball League gets under way
on Sunday afternoon. Stories re-
garding both leagues will be found
elsewhere on this page.

The ElkS Club held their annual
"Owls Night in their club rooms on
Tuesday night, and as usual every
body had a thoroughly enjoyable
time. Woody" Wheaton, the Owls
manager, introduced the members of
his squad, and in this usual modest
manner contented himself with say
ing that he would promise the fans
a hustling ball club. Brief. talks
were also made by the members of
the Field Athletic Assn, Eddie Sem
Ter, director of Athletics at Hagers-
town High, Exalted Ruler Fisher,
and the local sports scribes and
broadcasters. Winston F. Burhans
was master of ceremonies.
After seeing the Owls in action
over the week end, against the strong
Albany Club of the Eastern League
on Friday night, and Sunbury on
Sunday afternoon, I am inclined to
believe that we are going to have
pretty fair sort Of ball club
In spite of the fact that the boys
have been handicapped by cold
weather (Which has been particular
ly hard on the pitchers) they have
given good account of themselves
in the exhibition games, though of
course it is obvious that there are
some rough spots to be smoothed
out
A feature of the games has been
the hitting of Tom Caciavely, the
second baseman. In the game
against Albany on Friday night he
came through with a single, dou-
BILE and triple, and in Sunday af-
ternoon's game against Sunbury he
won the game with his home run
high over the center field fence,
with two men on base
Neither Bud German, the first
baseman; Roxy HENDERSON, the left
fielder, nor Charlie Hidden, the pitch
er-outfielder, have shown the hit
ting so far that understand they are
capable of But it is good to note
that Hal Keller is hitting the ball
hard and clean, and that, particular
ly on Sunday afternoon, he folded his
position in right field in fine shape.
It's pretty difficult thing to size
up the club at this stage of the game,
particularly since we have no idea of
the strength of the other seven clubs
in the league. But l don't think I'll
be going out on a limb when / say
that at least our ball club right now
is better than the one we finished
the season with last year.
Charlotte has sent in another in
fielder, Larry Kelchner, who played
shortstop with Charlotte during the
last half of the 1948 season and bat
ted $50, and pitcher by the name
of Major, both of whom Ossie Bluege,
head of the Washington Senators
Farm System, thinks can help the
ball club. But We'll know more
about that after Woody has had
time to look them over.
We will get plenty of opportunity
to see the boys in action this week
end, as Mr.. Sterling has booked five
games in a row, and here is the
schedule:
Tonight (Thursday), Scranton of
the Eastern League will be here.
Tomorrow night friday, Rome
of the Canadian American C League
comes in.
Saturday night, Williamsport of
the Eastern League.
Sunday afternoon, Williamsport
of the Eastern League
Monday night, Springfield of the
New England B League.
Regular prices will prevail, and
the night games will all start at 8:15
with Saturday night being Ladies
Night, and Sunday afternoons game
will start at 2:30.
