Red Sox and 1850

just about mid-July last year the
Red SoX were IL or 10 games off
the pace. They were that far back
of the Yankees. They are not quite
that bad this season, but with Ted
Williams i8jured they face a ter
rifle job if they hope to better their
position. So far under two differ
ent managers they have been an
ineffective lot.
Only their hitting has kept to
the high road. They passed the
Fourth of July with team bat
ting average of 1905. This was
by all odds the highest mark in
both leagues. 1t is high enough
to win two pennants, with only
fair pitching. Here's the main
trouble with the Red Sox-if you
care TO listen. There are three
departments of baseball = at
least main departments. These
are pitching, hitting and field
ing.
The Red Sox are the supreme
hitters of the game. They have Sec
ond-class pitching. They have close
to second-class fielding. For ex-
ample. their infield is a powerhouse
at bat. 1t isn't any too hot defen-
sively. In fact, it is second division
defensively. I've heard too many
opponents speak about the number
of easy hits that slip through the
Red Sox infield.
This infield has power-offensiv
power-but no defensive speed. 1t
can't cover ground to choke off op-
posing rallies. Once again / get this
information from other ball teams.
This makes it tough on the pitch
ers. They have hits charged against
them that Rizzuto would kill Off
or another faster-moving infielder
would knock down.
The trouble is that too many peo-
pie look only at batting averages
at home runs and runs driven in
where the Red Sox excel. They
overlook pitching. They overlook
defense. They overlook spirit.
They all say they'd rather play for
Tom Yawkey. Who wouldn't? The
Red SoX have taken four years to
discover that power alone doesn't
rule baseball.

Truman Ready for Crisis

Unfortunately. this is an election
year and despite the acute danger
which threatens the moves on Cap
itol Hill to back up the President
have been tinged and weighed with
political considerations. AS a mat
ter of fact, although the President
himself has declared politics out
the window, some of his satellites
still persist in looking at the situa-
ton through politically tin te d
glasses. This fact. however, doesn't
justify some of the news stories
which are going out of Washington
through some mediums to the eff
feet that all here is confusion and
muddled thinking, or that the Pres
ident is not giving his associates a
clear sense of direction, or there
is scramble for power or bicker-
ing among "small-bore bureau
Gratis" as one writer called it.
This writer believes that the rec
ord shows that President Truman
anticipated what might happen
long ago and that he was primed
and ready when he made his deci-
sion even over the advice of his
military leaders and his political
advisers. He made it on a moral
principle to which this nation was
committed. That he did not have
the tools at hand is no fault of Mr..
Truman. and had he waited even
a day, it is likely there would have
been no beach-head at Pusan OF
which to make landing.

The five Montgomery County
high schools participating in foot
ball will present a football jam
boree on Saturday Afternoon, Sep
TENDER 16, kick off time 300 P. M.
at Montgomery Blair Stadium. The
Jamboree is something new in this
area and is an excellent preseason
training device, and will give the
players the opportunity to perform
under game-like situations.
The usual fanfare present in
regular football games will be
present the cheer leaders and

wood, Richard Montgomery, Mont
gomery Blair, Bethesda Chevy
Chase will be present and will per-
form before the game. They will
feature a parade around the field

it for manufacturing purposes.
This created an emergency for
agricultural interests of Maryland
and "Save Timonium" Committee
was quickly formed.
The Committee, made up of
prominent citizens and headed by
Mr. William F. Schluderberg, de-
termined upon plan of action
and called a general meeting of
citizens in the area. At this meet
ing 1876 friends of agriculture,
realizing the Importance of con-
tinuing Timonium in the interest
of farm and livestock activities,
subscribed to bonds and stock in
the amount of 100000. The Com
niittee also arranged for interim
bank loans in the amount of
100000 to complete the trans,
action.
In this connection Mr.. Schluder-
berg in his capacity as chairman
of the Timoniqm Project, said,
obviously, the continued oper-
alton of the State Fair at Timon-
ium to the greatest benefit of the
greatest number of Marylanders
can best be accomplished by hav-
ing ownership and operation 1000
in the hands of people who realize
its Importance to Maryland Agri-
culture.
"To this end we are calling on
farmers and livestock producers,
those who sell farm equipment and
supplies, merchants who get their
business from farm families and
other friends of agriculture, to
come forward and buy bonds and
stock. The bonds are in $500 dc.
nominations, and they are interest
bearing at the rate of SO. Each
bond carries with it the privilege
of buying one share Of stock at
So. Sale of bonds and stock is
limited to residents of Maryland.
Friends of Maryland Agricul-
ture must make certain that the
ownership and operation of Timon-
ium Fair remain in their hands.
Ii must never again be in jeop-
ardy of being converted to other
uses"
Subscription Desks where orders
Tor bonds and stock can be placed
and where additional information
can be secured are located at the
fimonium Fair Grounds. Mr..
Schluderberg also reports that
supplies of subscription blanks are
being mailed to all Maryland banks
where they are available to inter
ested parties. Additional infor-
nation and subscription blanks
can also be secured by mail by
writing the Subscription Desk,

Grantland Rice opens. Hogan has
been acknowledged as the one to
beat in most of the leading tourna-
ments he has entered, before and
after his accident. Locke has not
only ruled South Africa and Great
Britain but he has also left a wider
tran of devastation through h e
United States than any foreigner
that ever played-including Harry
Vardon and Ted Ray.
1t was Bobby Locke who lured
Sammy Snead to South Africa a
few years ago and gave Vir-
GINA Sammy steady wallop-
ing over this faraway terrain.
Both Hogan and Locke are great
golfers. Their styles are wide apart
but each is a master of fundamen-
tails. Both are consistently straight
off the tee, but like Hogan's iron
play better. Locke h a shade
around the green's where he can
turn out near miracles on certain
occasions.
Hogan, Snead and Mangrum have
dominated play in the United States
this season and the game over here
can stand another face-the same
being Bobby Lockes. Hogan, with
his 'motion-picture work ahead, has
a busy schedule. But the call to
contest usually finds Ben more
than eager to return to action.
Locke has now made his peace
with the American P.G.A. and he
can find far richer hunting over
here than England offers at the mo-
ment.
We have had similar dEels In
the past-Hagen VS.. Jones
Hagen VS.. Sarazen, Barnes and
Hagen, to mention only a few.
The Sarazen Hagen clash was
the most spectacular. These two
had the better right at that time to
be called the two top men. Both
Hogan and Locke are fine competi-
tors, as well as being consistently
fine golfers. 1t would be new boost
for general golfing interest to bring
them together in series of match
es. In this connection it might also
be mentioned that Lloyd Mangrum
lately has been setting dizzy pace.

Committee Acts To
Place Timonium In
Hands OF Marylanders

For several generations the
Maryland State Fair has been OPP
Grating at Timonium and has made
valuable contributions to the de-
velopment of Maryland as an i'm
pcrtant agriculture state.
Over a period of about 20 years
control of this important project
has been in the hands of the Mary
land Jockey Club. There is gen
eral agreement that it has done an
outstanding job Of developing the
State Fair in interest and i'm
portance. During the entire period,
it has been carried on as a non
profit operation.
Now the Maryland Jockey Club
is in need of the money it has in
vested in the Timonium \ Fair
Grounds to help pay for necessary
rebuilding Of the Pimilco Race
Track.
Substantial offers for the Timon-
ium Fair Grounds were made by
companies who sought to develop

Standby Controls Urged

Then what Is the record? On
January 4, 1949. Mr.. Truman rec
commended to the congress to set
up system Of standby controls to
be used in an emergency, ito inn
pose price ceilings on scarce COM
modities which basically effect es-
sential production or the cost Of
living"
A few days later In his Geo.
nOmic message he spelled out
these proposals and on Feb. Is,
1949, he sent congress the draft
of sterilization bill which adj
vOcatcd these standby controls.
On March 3, 1949. he told news
men at press conference he
needed these powers for any
sudden development.
On January Z, 1850, he again
sounded a warning in his economic
legislators to give him power to
regulate consumer credit, to reg
ulate speculation in commodities
on the commodity exchanges and to
give the federal reserve board au-
thority over banking reserves. That
is the record.

Things to Come
IN WASHINGTON
IS,Is Il II Il

THTHAT is AHEAD in the forsee-
w able future for the American
people? This is The question being
asked throughout the length and
breadth of the land, in the home
towns and rural areas, and in our
major urban centers. Insofar as
making an accurate prediction is
concerned there can be no definite
answer.
There is, however, one crystal
clear fact. and that is the American
people must understand they are
in greater peril today than ever be-
fore in the 174-year history of this
nation and that it behooves every
citizen from high to low estate TO
realize they must undergo whatever
sacrifice. whatever hardship 10
fend off and conquer the imperial
istic Soviet despotism which is COM
mitted to policy aimed at not only
conquering the free world, but in
capturing mems minds with the
theology of athetistic communism.
Watching the trend of events
here in Washington since the
fateful, history-weighed deci-
sion of President Truman to
stop Communist aggression in
Korea, there is every reason
to believe that the United
States will be in a state of
ever-increasing mobilization of
men and resources for the next
10 years. Present indications
are that the Korean war is a
preview of things to come.
1t is fairly obvious to this column
that il the people are not fully
aware of the awesome dangers
which confront our nation, they are
at least far ahead in their think
ing than their elected representa-
tives in the congress, and in some
instances, seem prepared TO accept
more sacrifice and restriction than
even the President himself is
aware.

Gaithersburg still holds a slim
half game lead in the upper coun-
ty league by virtue of their win
over Germantown last Sunday by

record and now must await the
outcome of the Burtonsville VS..
Germantown game next Sunday at
Burtonsville to find out if they are
the champs or if they must go into
a sudden-death play-off with Bur-
louisville for the pennant.
Burtonsville scored runs in the
7th inning to defeat Rockville in
a game held to innings on ac-
count of rain. Rockville was lead
ing to l going into the 7th when
Burtonsville scored 4 runs to take
the lead before the rain halted the
proceedings. Burtonsville must now
defeat Germantown next Sunday
to tie Gaithersburg but a defeat
will put them out of the running.
