BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART


While Mondays freeze held up
work on the new field house at the
stadium, the work has progressed far
enough TO assure its being ready
when the Braves arrive here for
their exhibition games before the
season opens.
And talking about the Braves,
have never seen such interest in a
ball club as is manifest all over Ha-
gerstown today. Wherever | go l
find myself winding up talking about
the ban club, and the most common
expression hear is: 81 haven't been
out to the stadium in two years or
more, but I'm sure going this year"
The front Office of the club is
working overtime in ironing out all
the various problems that come up
from day to day, and almost any
time now that you drop in ON Rufus
Edwards, the general manager, you
can find him mulling things over
with Gene" Raney, the owner of
the club, and "Dutch"Dorman, the
manager
At a press conference yesterday
morning Rufus released the follow
ing information:
Applications for reserved seats
only, for the entire season GO home
games), may now be made at the
clubs office, lao w. Washington st.
The season price for the tickets, in
Guiding tax, is $4,000
Outright releases have been given
to Guy Chaser, Gene Crumling, War
rem Pickell, Charles Hiden and
George Fernback.
Lloyd Freund, of McHenry, ILL
nois, and his brother, Howard, have
been signed as free agents, Lloyd,
who is shortstop, played last year
with Appleton of the Wisconsin State
League, for his first year in pro ball.
He is 20 years old, s. IT,, 1870 pounds,
right-handed all the way, and hit
.279.
Howard, an infelder, is % years
of age, s. B., 1870 pounds, bats left
and throws right. Some of you will
remember him being with the Owls
in l945 as a rookie
The club has bought Daniel Mays,
a shortstop, from the Iberia Club of
the Class c Evangeline League.
His last announcement was that
the ten Saturday night games that
will be played here during the sea
son. will be Ladies' Nights
There will be a lot of improve
ments when the season opens, some
of which Of course cannot be talked
about until all the various de-
tails are decided on, but | can tell
you that you have seen the last of
those busted advertising signs that
have been an eyesore to so many
people, and of course a pain in the
neck to the advertiser who paid for
them. Right now all the old signs
that were made Of some sort of wood
that you could break off with your
fingers, are being torn down, and
they will be replaced with new
metal signs that both the fans and
the advertisers can be proud of.
| can also tell you that a fine H.
page souvenir program and score
book, with very attractive cover
in two colors, will be yours for a
thin, round dime, and it will be
program that you will be proud to
keep.
These are just a couple of the
things that Gene" and Rufus have
planned in their efforts to really put
Hagerstown on the map in baseball.

Jimmy was flying under a Navy contract out in the Aleutians. Then he was shifted to the Pacif- ic and learned what long-range, transocean flying is like. For two years-1944 and 1945-he flew Pan Am's Pacific routes, out to the embattled islands where the arrogance of imperial Japan was being humbled, and down under" to Australia.
 In 1945, he wandered over to the other half of the blobe and worked the Air Transport Con- mand operations that Pan Am was running between Miami and New York and Europe.

FREEDOM TO LOSE OUR MONEY
 Cripple Creek (Colo) Times Record


 It's going to be interesting to watch the reaction of the public to Congress action concerning gambling. They are starting with slot machines and plan to wind up covering all types of gambling.
 Now if there thing the majority of folks like to do it's bet couple of bucks horse pull a slot machine handle It doesn't matter to them how great the odds against them they just want to do it, that's all And when they know that it's against law in states that seems to make 1t much attractive. But the Federal Government is coming along and making it little tOugh gher for them to lose their money We sort of wondered just how the folks go ing to take such usurpng of their liberty Back in 1918 the Governments plan to increase the membership in the w. C. T. U. didn't work out too we'll You see, when the Government took away their freedom when 1t came to drinking they resented the and ignored the law Of course there are freedoms which the Government takes away and the great populace seems to like it. If farmer wants to get Government support for his crops he has to plant the amount and the kind Uncle Sam says And he is very willing to give up his freedom in order to receive the Government bounty As long folks get the cash for giving up freedom it doesn't to bother them too much. When they can have security, little thing like losing liberties and freedoms is not even considered.
 But when it comes to the point where the Govern ment is going to take away their pleasures pect big howl Uncle Sam tell what crops to plant but he can't tell when and where bet horse.
 He give the money to live on all right but if want to be suckers for the slot machines think it's of Uncles business. We willing to lose stand for losing our freedoms to lose money. It can be said of modern business leaders that some die but
