BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Charlie Heinbaugh, the Owls new
second baseman, who Joined the
team on their recent road trip, has
done fine job. In his first appear
ance at the plate at Harrisburg he
got one for three and fielded his po
sition fawlessly, and then in his
second appearance at. the plate in
the Sunbury game on Monday night,
he came through with three for four,
and again played errorless ball.
Al Caravello the shortstop, and
Joe Sereda the pitcher, were given
their outright releases on Monday.
Although the Owls are in the Gel
lar as this is written there is still
plenty of time for them to get back
into the thick of the fight if they can
just start little winning streak.
With the infield considerably
strengthened by the addition of
Heinbaugh, the defensive play of
the team should improve consider
ably, and here's hoping that by the
time next weeks issue rolls around,
/ will be able to report that the boys
are starting to climb.
There has been so much talk about
Nelson Fox, the scrappy little sec
ond baseman of the Philadelphia
Athletics, who since he took over
the second base spot has not only
been hitting well over 400, but has
been nothing less than sensational
in the field, that / got out my old
scoring books and looked up his rec
ord when he broke into organized
ball with Lancaster in l945.
During the spring, training of 1945
Mr.. Fox took Nelson, who was then
only 16 years of age, to see Connie
Mack, and after he had been given
try-out in Frederick he was signed
to a contract and farmed out to Lam
caster. He broke into the lineup
Immediately as lead-off man, and
in his first appearance in Hagers-
town on May 25, he got one for five,
played errorless ball and was the
pivot man in three double plays. The
next day he came through with five
singles oft of six times at bat, again
played errorless ball and took part
in two more double plays.
The next time | saw him was on
the goth of June AS, when he had
two for five, and according to my
records was still playing errorless
ball.
All through the 1945 season he
continued as the Lancaster lead-off
man and also continued his sensa-
tional hitting and fielding In 1916
the Athletics sent him to the Glass
A Lincoln, Nebraska team, from
where he moved up to the Athletics
in 1948 and batted 281, but was not
used regularly
But it was not until this year that
he really got his break, when Pete
Suder was sidelined with injuries.
Fox and Shans, the Athletic pitcher,
are the two smallest men on the
team, and they room together, and
their teammates call them the
Singing midgets"
Nellie" as Fox is called by his
teammates, if he continues the way
he is going now, will undoubtedly
turn out to be one of the best sec
ond basemen in the league.

U.S.. Reported Paying Expenses
Of ; Other Armies in Austria

train, the Soviets here in Austria
up to January / had taken 1885,
100000 schillings (about $780,
600, 000-through the ever-abnor-
NAL Austrian budget.
The French and British had
taken about $64 ,000, 900 each. But
20 months ago. when the United
States stopped accepting anything
more from Austria the Americans
had received $40,000,000 from
themselves of which they returned
$50. o0o. 900.
What these figures mean is that
the Russian puts his hand in for
about 4 per cent of the Austrian
budget and the Briton and French
man each for 2.5 per cent, while
the American keeps pouring money
| in.
Red System Explained.
The way the Russian gets his
extra dividend from the Ameri-
can taxpayer is especially adroit.
Here's how it is done:
After the annual percentage fig-
ure has been agreed on by the
four generals - with Austrian
groans audible halfway across Eu-
rope-all four powers are sup
posed to get a quarter share of
the pseudo-Austrian pie made of
American materials. The facade
of Allied equality is maintained,
but it is only a genteel sham to
conceal the Soviet advantage.
The Americans take their SIS
600, 1000 and hand it right back into
the Austrian economy, to join the
approximate s500,000.000 they
have given under ERP. In addi-
ton the Americans pay in dol
lars their household costs of
around $13,000,0O0. r. :.
French Get Share.
Il The French take their $4,000
900 and pay their local bills. ex-
elusive of soldiers pay. Whether
they do better than break even,
nobody knows.
The British claim their $15,-
100000, but for the last six months
they have let it remain untouched.
Without releasing their share. as
the Americans have done, they
have given the Austrians hope that
they will. by paying their current
accounts themselves.
The Soviets take their $15.000.-
900 and use it to meet some ex-
penses. Then they take about
half their Austrian bills and send
them unpaid to the Austrian gov
eminent. And Austria pays them
with American money.
