BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART


l enjoyed a real Jam session Win
Shirley Povich of the Washington
Post on Friday night, prior to the
dinner given to the Post news-car-
riers from Hagerstown and Win
chester, Va.
After Ginning for awhile about
old ball players that we both knew,
the talk naturally came around to the
American and National League pen
nants. Povich, like myself, is amaz-
ed at the way the Yankees have
stayed on top since the beginning of
the season, and he still leans to the
Boston Red Sox to win the Amer
lean League pennant race, although
he had to admit, of course, that in
order to do it, they would have to
take all five of their remaining
games with New York.
Povich, however, did make one
definite prediction, and here it is.
He said that if the Yankees win the
pennant he believes the National
League winner will go on to win the
World Series, but if Boston wins
the pannant, they will go on to be-
come the world champions.
Povich always has fund of good
baseball stories, and he told num-
Der of them at the dinner meeting,
but the one l enjoyed most was the
following story he told on himself:
When Joe Kuhel (the Senator's
manager) was playing first base for
Washington, Povich wrote story
about him that Knhel didn't like, and
when Shirley went down to the lock-
er room after one of the games,
Kohul took a swing at him, but
missed, and of course, the other
players quickly jumped in and
pulled him away. The next day
Clark Griffith, president of the club,
announced that Kuhel had been fined
500 for taking a poke at sports
writer. A few days afterwards Joe
received the following letter:
Dear Joe: Reading that Mr..
Griffith fined you $500 for taking
a poke at Shirley Povich, I am
enclosing $50 to help you pay
the fine
P.S. l would have sent the
him!"
Unlike Povich, l don't think now
that Boston has much chance of
beating out the Yankees, who, as
this is written, enjoy three-game
lead. But l still believe that the
Dodgers will win out in the Ma
tional League. Those Buns were
scheduled to start their Do-Or-Die
series with the Cards last night, and
when it is over, I'm looking for the
Dodgers to be no worse than half a
game behind
Congratulations to the BoonSboro
team in the Washington County
League on winning the pennant for
the second year in a row. (The final
standings will be found elsewhere
on this page.)
The playoffs between the four top
teams will get underway on Sunday
afternoon, with Boonsboro meeting
Smithsburg at Boonsboro, and Will
Transport meeting Funkstown at
Williamsport
The four teams will play their
second games on Saturday, October
/, with Boonsboro meeting Smiths
burg at Smithsburg, and Williams
port meeting Funkstown at the
Boonsboro diamond.
If third games are necessary, they
will be played on the same diamonds
as the opening games.
In the Independent League play
offs, Sandy Hook eliminated Keedys-
vile by winning two straight games
from them. They will now remain
idle until the playoffs between An
tietam and Security are finished, both
teams having won a game apiece.

uons to the recommendations.
At present. according to Manuel
