after I received your proposal, dis
covered, quite by chance, that Mr..
Benson, contemplated running for
the office of councilman. Mr.. Ben
son and I had a conference. Mr..
Benson and I found that we were
in accord on several basic PROPOSE
tions. The first of which is, that
we as prospective candidates should
do nothing which would endanger
the beneficial interest of the group
we represent. Our minds met on
this proposition also; that with two
men of the same group running for
the office of councilman, from a
pragmatic voters point of view, it
would be felt that we would be run
ming against each other. Theoreti-
cally, this may not be true, but my
friends, elections are not won on
theory, but purely and simply, on
what voters think and do. 1t is not
unreasonable to forsee that when
voters go to the polls they will be
somewhat confused as to which
candidate to vote for Benson or
me. Moreover, having two candi-
dates running for office would in
dicate to persons who are voting
that there is a division of our elec-
torates. Now you can't get that
out of the minds of people, no mat
ter how much talking you do. Peo-
pie are going to vote the way their
minds tell them. Having agreed on
the foregoing premises, Mr.. Ben
son and 1 concluded that it would
be best that only one of us should
run for office. And of course, I
submit to you that in my opinion
Mr.. Benson is the logical person to
run.
Let me hasten to say that, if and
when, the opportune time presents
itself, I shall be glad to accept any
proposal that you might make for
me to run for public office.
Yours truly,
H. B. DANIELS,
Attorney at Law.

Well Folks!
I'll bet you get awfully tired lis
tening to me blow my own horn.
i did this-We are doing that
Reddy's Corner doing this or that.
In reality it is really like the kid
telling about the bearhunt. He
started off by saying, 1--WE killed the
barr" Of course that didn't sound
just right so he added, "Pa shot
i'm" That is the way with us
we are doing the big business, but
without your help and support we
wouldn't have the "barr' to skin.
Without your help Reddy's Corner
would surely have been forgotten
a long, long, time ago.
Suppose some one were to ask
you how long Reddy's Corner has
been in operation? What would
you say? Five years! Ten years!
Fifteen years! Or possibly twenty.
Well, to be exact it will be Is
YEARS tomorrow.
That is a long time. During that
time you have helped to make Red
dy's Corner known and talked of
all over the world. The fellows tell
me of being stationed in the South
Pacific, America and EurOne and of
the discussions and arguments they
got into about Reddy'S Corner.
Those who are still stationed over
there are in all probability still
doing it-just as 1 hope you are
here. Personally I can't think of
another subject / would rather dis
cuss; either what has happened in
the past or what hope and plan
to be able to do in the future. But
regardless as to what has been done
in the past or what can be done in
the future, it depends to a very
large extent upon you. I'll have to
have your support in the future as
I always have in the past. Of
course you can rest assured that
we here at Reddy's Corner are go
ing to continue to do everything in
our power to warrant that cOntin-
ued support. Those of you who
visit us regularly know that. Those
of you who haven't come before or
don't come very often should in all
fairness give us chance to prove
ourselves further. Annie Mae, Vir-
lee and myself are always 'Reddy'

FRIDAY, July 22)

After having day off on Thurs
day, the Owls moved into Whining
ton on Friday for a four-game series
and lost the opening game Friday
night by a score of 1875.
Manager Woody" Wheaton was
the starting pitcher, but took him
self out of the box after pitching the
first five innings and giving up elev-
en- hits good for nine runs. He, of
course, was the losing pitcher. Peel
er pitched the last three innings and
gave up seven hits and was charged
with the last three runs. Keller
was behind the plate.
For the Blue Rocks, Wall started,
but he couldn't last through the first
inning and was yanked after walk
ing two batters and cutting loose
with two wild pitches. He was re-
lieved by Pat Mccullough, who sign
ed with Wilmington after being re-
leased by the Owls, and Pat was
the winning pitcher. Oswald took
care of the catching chores.
Due to Walz' wildness, the Owls
picked up two runs in the top half
of the first, but Wilmington came
right back in the bottom half and
shellaced Wheaton for five runs,
and they were never headed from
there on out.
Of the nine hits that the Owls
got, four were for extra bases.
George Bird, the pitcher (who play
ed right field on Monday night got
a double; Guy Chaser got a double
and triple, and Wheaton got a
double But the boys had bad
night in the field, with Dykes being
charged with three errors and Kelly.

Dykes tried to score after the catch,
Pless threw him out at the plate to
retire the side. That was all the
scoring until the bottom half of the
ninth when the Owls put over two
more runs to win the game.
Heinbaugh, the first man up, sin
gled to right, and Hixson sacrificed
him to second. Wheaton was up next
and he got a base on balls. Then
Hidden, pinchhitting for Bird, beat
out hit to third, with Heinbaugh
moving to third and Wheaton to
second. Dykes was the next batter,
and he grounded to Rambin, with
Heinbaugh scoring on the play. Then
when Rambin made wild throw to
second, trying to get Hiden, Wheaton
scored on the error with the winning
tally. On this play Hiden, who slid
into second in an obvious effort to
break up any possibility of a double
play, pulled a leg muscle and had
to be helped off the field

of 81 hits and errors, the Owls
dropped the opening game of their
three-game series with Lancaster on
Tuesday night, by a score of II to 10.
Freddie Peeler, a former Lancas-
ter pitcher, started for Hagerstown,
but couldn't last through the first
inning and was relieved by Pickell.
He, in turn, was taken out for a
pinch hitter in the top half of the
seventh, and Ancherico pitched the
last four innings and was charged
with the loss. Crumling was behind
the plate.
Dick Tross, highlander, making
his first start for the Red Roses, was

and Sweeney pitched the last three
innings to get credit for the win.
Elkins and O'Neill split the catching
chores.
The Owls jumped off to two
run lead in the top half of the first
inning, but it didn't last long, as
Peeler's old teammates blasted him
out of there in the bottom half of the
first, with fivc-hit attack that pro-
duced seven runs. Pickell then took

TRENTON HERE
"wednesday, July 20)

Despite the fact that every UNI
pire decision on close plays went
against the Owls, and also despite
the fact that they were four runs
behind in the fifth, our rejuvenated
team came through to win the game
in the ninth, 5-4.
George Bird, who went all the
way for the win, again gave an ex-
hibition of real pitching, and but
for a home run ball that he served
up in the second frame, he pitched
superb ball, striking out eight men.
Hal Keller was his catcher.
Al Corwin, right handler, who
went into the game with record of
and 6, was the losing pitcher. He
was knocked out in the ninth and
Picone relieved him. Hickey was
behind the plate.
After scoreless first inning, the
Giants went ahead 80 in the top
half of the second. Rambin, the
first man up, singled to left. Henry
walked, and then Cunningham flied
to Wheaton in right for the first out.
But Blaylock then stepped to the
plate and slammed one high over the
centerfield wall, scoring behind
Rambin and Henry. That was all
the scoring until the top half of the
sixth when Trenton made it 40.
Rambin, the first man up, walked.
Henry was up next, and he ground
ed to Dykes at third, who made a
bad throw, with Rambin going all
the way to third on the error and
Henry being safe at first. Cum
bingham was the next batter, and
he got single to right, scoring Ram

third on the play he was thrown out
on perfect peg from Wheaton to
Dykes, for the first out. Blaylock
grounded to Harbaugh at first, with
Cunningham going to second. Hickey
was hit with pitched ball, but Cor

ed Hickey at second.
The Owls got back in the ball
game in the bottom half of the sixth,

a different story in the sixth.

then came through with a double to
left that was poorly judged by M.

Kelly and Keller scored on the hit.
Heinbaugh was the next batter, and
he beat out hit to second, with Har-
baugh stopping at third Hixson
then grounded to E. Martin at third,
who threw to second, forcing Helm

third. The second baseman then
whipped the ball to Blaylock at

was safe. On the play Harbaugh
broke for the plate, but was throw

side.
The Owls came within one run of

blows, coupled with three errors,
