Remember in December 1912 when
consolidation of Butte Electric and
Power Co., the Montana Power Co.,
Madison River Co., Billings and east
ern Montana Power Co., and the Mis-
souri, Electric Power Co. with assets
of $14,000,000 went into the new
company Montana Power Co. with
authorized capital of $100,000,000
divided into 500 shares, 100000
shares preferred stock bearing 7%o
cumulative dividends and 100000
shares of common stock. Why don't
they figure the rate for electricity
on their tax valuation of their phys
ical valuation?
Why is it that all senators and
representatives who voted to elimi

Did you know that a caucus can
be called of the Democratic members
in the house and a two-third vote
can bind every Democrat to vote for
OF against a bill. If he don't, he
can lose his party patronage and
seniority on committees?

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

Although the Hagerstown High
School Hubs lost again on Friday
night, l cannot agree with a state
ment attributed to the schools ath-
letic director, Eddie Senior, that
the team played their worst game of
the season. In fact, ! am more in
agreement with the statement Mr.
Senior made over the radio be-
tween the halves, when he said that
the team looked much better, and
particularly noticeable was the inn
provement in their passing attack.
It's perfectly true that in the sec
ond half the boys were out-played,
but they were in there fighting un-
til the final whistle, and certainly
gave everything they had
OF course, it's disappointing to the
coach and the athletic director to
have their team lose, but in my book
the boys certainly didn't deserve the
criticism leVeled at them.
I've heard lot of talk about the
poor support given to our two semi
pro football teams in Hagerstown,
but it is not all the fans fault.
To begin with, both South End
and the Marketeers are sadly lack
ing when it comes to promotion.
This column, for instance, has new
err received line of publicity, or
even word, from either team all
season. A weekly paper does not
have the staff to go out and dig up
information and write its own sto-
ries, and this fact is recognized by
good many sports organizations,
who supply the weekly papers from
time to time with good publicity that
can be used to build up team.
This is particularly noticeable
with the Waynesboro Tigers, which
is really successful semi-pro out
fit close to our own town. And the
proof that good publicity and sound
promotion pays off was shown by
the attendance q: Waynesboro on
Saturday night which was close to
5000.
While on this subject, let me say
that bad promotion is probably the
cause of the lack of support of a
good many of our sports activities
in Hagerstown, and some of the
people charged with handling the
promotion seem to think that all
that is necessary is to give informa-
ton to the daily papers and let it
go at that.
If they recognized that in addi-
ton to our daily papers sports edi-
tors (both of whom do a good job
there are, in addition to this week
ly, weeklies in Boonsboro and Han
cock, to say nothing of weeklies in
towns like Middletown, Greencastle
and Shepherdstown that could be
furnished with information regard
ing Hagerstown's baseball, football
and basketball games, and I'm sure,
like myself, would be glad to pub
lish it. And they also should re-
member that there are two radio
stations that could do them world
of good.
If further proof is needed that
good promotion pays off, just look
back on the softball game put on
last summer by the Civilian Club.
Their promotion department didn't
miss a single bet, with the result
that the biggest crowd to appear in
the Municipal Stadium during the
entire season in 1949, turned out for
the event.
And finally, although the state
finals of the American Legion Jun
ior Baseball play-offs were held
here in Hagerstown, they were
poorly attended, for the exact same
promotion was bad.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-11-10

This isn't grippe on my part be-
cause my column is being neglected
by these amateur and semi-pro
clubs, but it is my answer to the
repeated question that is asked me-
why don't the fans support sports
in Hagerstown?"
Although Navy didn't win their
game against Tulane on Saturday,
they fought the highly favored Tu-
lane team on even terms all the
way, with the game ending in a 81
81 tie If Navy had a schedule like
Army, they unquestionably would
be up near the top in rank, but the
Annapolis middies and their coaches
don't choose their spots, but take
on all Corners regardless. That's
why I've always been a Navy rooter
and always will be.
Upsets continued in the college
ranks on Saturday, and noticeable
among them was Virginia's terrific
upset of Penn, by score of 26-14,
to keep their unbeaten record for
the year intact.
Notre Dame, as was expected, was
too strong for Michigan State, al
though the State boys put up a ter
rife battle, particularly in the fourth
quarter when they scored two of
their three touchdowns, the final
score being 34-21.
Army went up against Fordham,
but according to the radio report of
the game, it was more of back
alley scrap than a football game,
and it certainly is to be regretted
that football players should lose their
tempers to such an extent that it was
necessary for the officials to call
more penalties for out and out
roughness than has been called in any
other game all year.
Another surprising upset was the
27-27 tie in the Southern Methodist
Texas ARM game, in which S. NJ
u. was an overwhelming favorite.
Down south the highly favored
Tennessee Vols were soundly whip
ped by Georgia Tech 30-13, and in
another terrific upset Wake Forest
really slapped Duke down to the
tune of 27-7
Back in our own home state the
Terrapins of Maryland University
had an easy time with George Wash
ington, and Jim Tatum's boys, who
are tied for the Southern Confer
ence lead, get their toughest assign
ment of the season next Saturday
when they go against the strong
Boston University team. And if
they get by with that one = and l
think they will-they should go
through the rest of the season with
out loss, to give them their best
year under Tatum
After Sunday afternoons game,
in which the Washington Redskins,
through the medium of three
touchdown splurge in the fourth
beat Pittsburgh 27-14,
George Marshall, president of the
club, announced that the contract of
their coach, John E. Whelchel, had
been cancelled by mutual consent,
and that Herman Ball, who has
been acting as scout for the team,
would take over the job of manager
for the rest of the season.
