CHuD'S GUN PLAY?"

fFrOm Mrs. l.. W. r., McLednJ
There is one subject which I
have not seen discussed and
which I would like to have some
pro and con discussion on. 1t is
the great popularity Of the toy
pistols and shotguns which the
young children seem to feel are
necessary to their play. I am
the mother of a 5-year -old boy
and recently have been much per-
turbed about this gun play" I
am personally against the idea
and have wanted to take away
the guns and try to interest the
children in other things. How
ever. the question arises that 80

My youngster happens to be un-
usually nervous and excitable and
I do not believe this kind Of play
is good for him.
I shall appreciate reading any
ideas on the subject. and perhaps
some one can suggest some play
ideas that will keep a couple Of
active 5 or 8 year olds happy.

Tuesday, June y

Opening three-game series with
the Wilmington Blue Rocks on Tues
day night, the Owls dropped the
first game by a score of 5 to 2. Ed
Ancherico the losing pitcher was
lifted for pinchhitter in the seventh
and Pat Mccullough pitched the
last inning. Gene Crumling was be-
hind the plate. Jack Brittin went
the route for the Blue Rocks, to
wrack up his sixth straight win, and
Oswald was his catcher.
With German given his release
and Charlie Dykes having reported,
the infeld was Hidden at first, Dykes
at second, Caravello at short and
Chaser at third. Dykes broke into
the lineup with bang, getting three
hits GALL singles) for five times at the
plate.
Brittin shutout the Owls until the
seventh on six scattered hits, but
in the seventh they finally punched
four hits, with Dykes and Crumling
crossing the plate. But Brittin tight
ened up again and set them down in
the last two innings.
Although Ancherico only gave
up nine hits, the Blue Rocks made
every one count (aided by three Ha-
gerstown errors), pushing across one
run in the first, two in the second
and two more in the fifth.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

- OH E=sss=-s:---=-s=:--==s7 oEo r..
1t is obvious that Manager woo
dy'' Wheaton is doing everything he
can to strengthen his infield and get
a combination that will stay put.
With Roatche, who was signed as
an infielder- catcher. obviously not
filling the bill at third base, and
with German given his release, the
possibilities are that when Charlie
Dykes joins the club on the road,
Chaser viii go back to third, Cara
vello at short, Dykes will take over
the second base spot that he played
with Wilmington last year, and Hi
den will go to first. But, of course,
that's pure guessing on my part
But there's one thing I'm not
guessing about, and that is the fact
that the constant shifting around of
the infield is one of the reasons
why the Owls are not higher up in
the standings than they are. Connie
Mack has always said that pitching
is nine-tenths of team, but in my
book you can have all the good
pitching there is, but if you haven't
got a steady infield you're going to
lose lot of ball games despite good
pitching, and this has certainly
showed up in some of the Owls re-
cent games.
The team is on the road now and
will not be back home until June
Is, when they meet Sunbury in a
series and follow that with a series
with Harrisburg.
What they do on this current long
road trip will have a lot to do with
the Owls final standing in the
league, for unless they can play 500
ball on the trip, they're going to
have pretty hard time getting into
the first division.
Having seen all the clubs in ac-
ton, it is my opinion that the best
team in the league right now is
Trenton, followed by Wilmington,
York and Lancaster. And then you
can put Harrisburg, Hagerstown, AL
lentown and Sunbury in a hat and
pull them out blindly to fill the
other four positions.
AS far as Trenton is concerned,
apart from their playing in the four
game series here, I'm impressed by
the record of the team In the first
40 games, which included the game
played here on Monday night, the
and in addition to that, Mix had
record of four wins and one loss;
Corwin five and one; Robertson six
and two; and West five and two.
They have played five shut-out
games, and West pitched a no-hitter
against Sunbury.
With Slugglng team like that and
four starting pitchers with records
like those of Mix, Corwin, Robertson
and West, can you blame me for
picking them on top?
This opinion of mine must not be
construed as counting the Owls out
but they've certainly got to improve
and get more hustle and pep if they
are going to get anywhere.
The deathly silence of the Owls
infield during the Trenton series
was particularly noticeable, and it
wasn't until Hal Keller came in to
do the catching in the seventh in
ming after Gene Crumling was
thrown out of the game by the UNI
pire, that you heard any chatter at
ALL Hal did his best to stir some
pep up, but he soon gave it up, as
he couldn't raise a whisper from
the rest of the infeld.

Africa's Giant Snail.

The giant snail of Africa is nine
inches long and although having
but one broad foot, he has ad-
vanced around half of the world
in a short time. His presence is
q serious threat to agriculture.
Snails are so abundant on Sal
pan they have become a menace.
During the war when soldiers
drove their jeeps down the mar
row winding jungle roads. swarms
Of the huge snails would be on
the roads at night the drivers
thinking they were large brown
stones drove over them expecting
bumps and uneven stearing, but
they heard popping and squirting
then started skidding, which land
ed them in a ditch often upside
down.
Upon closer inspection of the
stones. they discovered smashed
snails over the road and on their
tires. Large ants soon appeared
at the scene and cleaned up the
mess.
Prior to the time man began his
vast trading voyages throughout
the Indian and Pacific oceans, the
African snail Achatina fulica Fer
ussac was known only on the is
land Of Madagascar. There is
report to the effect the snail has
invaded southern California.
The Japanese introduced the
giant to Saipan, Tinian and the
Mariana for food purposes long
before 1910. The Japanese are
fond of the snails in a stew, but
the natives of the islands refused
to touch them, so the snails with
out handicapS have increased to
an alarming number.
Achatina is far from attractive.
the shell is five inches long, the
moist brown rubbery body
stretches four inches beyond It.
