BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

All that the Owls need to be right
UP in the thick of the fight is to get
a little winning streak going, and
maybe when they get their infield
settled down, that winning streak
will get started.
If you notice the box scores of
the games you can't help but see
how the infield is constantly being
changed around, due to injuries and
other reasons, and it is hoped that
before long Woody" will be able to
get his infeld settled.
And while I'm on the subject of
the Owls, l do wish that | could be
given a little more information as
to what's going on. For several
weeks l put on at my own expense
a baseball program every Monday
night, in order to create interest and
boost the Owls team, but it has been
very difficult to keep the program
interesting, simply due to the fact
that l haven't been able to contact
either Mr.. Sterling or Woody"
Wheaton on Mondays, the day the
program went on the air.
The fans are pulling for the Owls
this year as they haven't done in a
long time, and no better proof of
this could be found than despite the
fact that the weather has been foot
ball weather instead of baseball
weather, people have been turning
out in good numbers, even though
they had to take blankets with them
on many nights.
Elsewhere on this page you will
find the present standings of the
Junior Baseball League. | wish |
could give more publicity to the
kids, but unfortunately their games
are spread out so that l can't even
give their schedule, because half the
games would be played by the time
my paper reached you But would
like the managers of these teams oc-
casionally to drop by and let me
have some of the scores of the games.
Congratulations to the Hagerstown
Sunday School Bowling League on
their victory over the Baltimore
League on Saturday night, the local
group winning by 230-pin margin.
The real credit, however, for Ha-
gerstown's victory goes to the La
dies Division of the League, who
really went to town. They beat out
the Baltimore girls by % games to
IL, and a total pinfall of 1854 to
1908. Jane Warner, of the Daisies,
was the top scorer with games of
131, 129 and 103 for a total of 1863.
And two of the girls on the Roses
team, R. Miller and A. McSherry,
tied for high single game, 1874.
The Baltimore men won out over
the Hagerstown group by score of
20 games to Is, and they also led
in pinfall with count of 1858 to
1907, Clyde Lippy, of Hagerstown's
Trinity team, was the high scorer
with single game of $50 and three
game set of 1913.
In the ladies' group from Balti
more, A. Gordon, of the Federation
team, was the high scorer with a
single game of 1853 and a total of
362, while in the mems division Earl
Seymour, OF Fort Avenue No. l, and
M Martinsur, of Lauraville Method
list No l, tied for the high single
game of 1856, and Seymour then
went on to take the high set, $751;.
A return match between the Ha-
gerstown and the Baltimore Leagues
is scheduled to be played here in
the early fall.

Legislature Will BE Asked
To Revive Auto Inspections

Maryland's Commissioner of Mo
tor Vehicles, Arthur H. Brice, says
the State Legislature will be asked
to revive some form of automobile
inspection. Brice said the proposal
will be placed before the General
Assembly at its short session in
February because there are a lot of
cars that shouldn't be on the road
in their present condition"

Suggestion For Dairy Farmers

Dairy farmers may profitably
feed corn in larger amounts than
usual this year due to the big corn
crop and the unusually heavy carry
over from the record breaking 1913
crop, according to dairy specialists
at the University of Maryland One
incentive for heavier corn feeding
is its somewhat lower price as com
pared with year ago

Facts About Fruit Trees

Maryland's commercial orchards
now have 461,0 apple trees and
100000 peach trees. Of the apples,
the varieties York and Stayman ac-
count for 208 percent and 202 per-
cent respectively. However, one va
riety of peach, the liberia, makes up
1916 percent of the total number Of
trees, with the next variety, the
Halehaven, amounting to only 8.8
percent.

Just for the record.

Just for the record.
In those hectic days before Gene
Raney saved organized baseball in
Hagerstown by purchasing the Owls
franchise, the question on every
body's lips was whether or not Ster-
ling was bluffing when he stated that
he definitely had place to take his
ball club in the event that he did
not sell it.
| am now able to tell you that he
very definitely was not bluffing, and
here are the facts:
Shortly after the Interstate
League meeting in Trenton this fall,
Mr.. Sterling met in Wilmington
with a group of business men from
Easton, Pa, and at that meeting
plans we're definitely completed to
move the Hagerstown franchise to
Easton, providing Mr.. Sterling did
not sell it, AS matter of fact, Mr..
Sterling and the group from Easton
had planned to meet on Tuesday
morning, December 6, to sign the
agreement to take the franchise to
Easton Gin the event of course that
Mr.. Raney did not buy the club, so
he would be able to make the an
nouncement at the special league
meeting which was held in Balti-
more on Wednesday, December 7.
And while I'm talking about the
Hagerstown club, here is some real
news.
In talk had the other day with
Rufus Edwards, general manager of
the club, pointed out to him that
in the past the Hagerstown club was
the only club that did not have a
trainer, and that in my opinion he
was one of the most important mem
bers of a team And Rufus answer
was: Don't worry, Doug-that'sdefi-
nitely going to be taken care of"
And that surely is good news, and
something that l know will be doub-
ly welcome to the members of the
new team.
Just before we went to press l
received the final official Interstate
League averages for 1949 compiled
by the Elias Baseball Bureau of New
York. You will no doubt get the
details in both the Herald and the
Mail today, but as far as l am CON
cerned, the only thing that interests
me in the averages is the fact that
Harold Keller, with batting aver
age of 1922, finished in sixth place
among those who played in 100 or
more games.
