had both runners on the move AS
result of this, when Popelsky threw
the ball away making play at sec
ond, Simmons easily scored the run
that tied the game and Levan, liter
ally flying, scampered home with
the winning run.
Sure the team is getting the breaks,
but they are all ready to cash in on
them, and that's what counts.
Here is some news of former ball
players of the Hagerstown Club:
George Daddario is playing for
Oklahoma City in the AA Texas
League; Ken Humphrey is with Lit
tie Rock in the AA Southern League,
and so far he is batting close to the
400 mark; Hal Keller and George
Bird are playing with Augusta in the
class A South Atlantic League; and
Gene Major is pitching for Columbus
in the AAA American Association.
Gene lost his first game, 10, and
won his second start by the same
score, in ten innings.
Congratulations to the Hagerstown
High School baseball team on win
ming their second straight game on
Monday night, taking the measure
of Chambersburg High by a score of
10. Here's hoping that they follow
the example of the Braves and win
every game on their schedule.

Material Wealth

He had the misfortune to marry
a lady with money, and scarcely
were they back from the honey
moon when she began to remind
him of the fact. Whenever they
bought something nice she'd in
evitably come up with the remark,
"Of course, if it weren't for my
money, we wouldn't have that"
Then they got an expensive tele-
vision set and had few friends in
to admire it. After the guests had
beamed and exclaimed sufficient
ly, the wife said, cts beautiful,
but as I keep telling Henry, with
out my money, it wouldn't be
here"
This finally stirred the sleeping
lion in Henry, who turned to his
wife and exploded: "And now, let
me tell you something. If it
weren't for your money! wouldn't
be here either"

BEHIND HOME PLATE
BY Doug Stewart

See Keeping Up With The
Braves" page Z, for the Standings,
postponed games, schedule for the
week, double plays, and a review of
the games of the past week.
The height of optimism - Frank
Colley's comment in the press box
last week, Wouldn't it be wonder
full if we won all 14O games"
We live and learn. have always
prided myself on being fairly ia
miliar with the baseball rule book,
but I found out on Monday night
that I don't know it all.
In the top half of that hectic ninth
inning with Sunbury on Saturday
night when, with Cline at bat, Major
stole home and Cline was given first
base on interference, the play was
scored as a stolen base for Major
and interference by Pottenger, put
ting Rende on first.
When Colley told me later that
Umpire Burnett had ruled that Major
scored on a balk and Rende had
been given base on interference
with the ball being dead), l told
Frank that there was something
screwy somewhere, and he agreed
with me.
On Monday night, however, Frank
called me and told me that we were
both wrong and that Burnett was
right, and referred me to the second
paragraph of Rule AZ, Section 9, and
here it is:
zone of the few double penalties
in baseball is in operation when the
catcher interferes with the batsman,
in making a play at the plate on a
runner, either trying to steal home
or score on squeeze play. When
such thing happens, an interference
and balk is called. The balk entities
the runner to score, while the inter
ference entities the batsman to go to
first base"
A catcher is charged with inter-
fering with the batsman when he
steps on, or in front of, home plate
without possession of the ball, or
touches the batter or his bat. In
Saturday nights game, Pottenger
stepped out in front of the plate in
his anxiety to get the ball and put it
on Major who was stealing home.
AS this is written "wednesday
morning) the Braves have compiled
the amazing record of eleven straight
wins without single loss. While
it is perfectly true that the team has
had lot of breaks, it is also true
that they have capitalized on these
breaks by playing heads-up baseball,
both from the point of view of the
coaching line and the players them
selves. An illustration of this was
given in the bottom half of the ninth
inning in that crazy game on Satur-
day night.
With two men out, Simmons on
third and Levan on first Cloth fast
mem and the Braves one run behind,

Funny Stuff?
She'll Be Back

X MAN, in his carefree bachelor
"A days, had been very fond of
Washington restaurant which spe-
cialized in waffles with honey. Year
after year he had journeyed to the
place to get the delectable Wand;
so, when he finally married, he de-
cided to take his wife there, in
order to share the pleasure with
her. He did not tell her what was
coming; merely ordering an excel
lent meal, with two orders of waf-
files.
The meal came, the waffles
came: but there were two small
pitchers of near-maple syrup, and
no honey.
He called the waitress over, and
whispered, loud enough for his wife
to hear: Where's my honey?"
The waitress beamed intelligent
ly. "She's on her vacation now,
SIR" was her answer.

Violent Sermon

When she was four, her parents
decided it was time to take little
Anne to church. So the following
Sunday she accompanied them to
services. The minister, up high in
his pulpit, was earnest and vigor-
Gus. His voice rolled out over his
flock in loud tones and low, as he
waved his arms and torso And he
completely fascinated small Anne.
Finally, clutching her fathers
arm, she asked worriedly, "What
do we do if he gets out?"

Kalorama Group Told Why
Gas Co. Seeks Rate Rise

The Kalorama Citizens Asso-
citation was told last night why
the Washington Gas Light Co. is
seeking to have its rate increase
upheld in the United States Court
of Appeals.
w. Herbert Gill, assistant to
the president of the company, ex-
planned to the group that when
the company converted from ar
tificial to natural gas in 1946.
there were increased costs. He
said these were much less than
the estimated Is million it would
have cost to build facilities to in
crease the supply of artificial gas
in this area.
Besides. he said, the past two
winters in the District have beer
mild and the company did not
realize expected profits from its
heating customers"
The association voted unani-
mouSly to increase its dues from
81 to $1.25 after January /, 1851.

Transatlantic Pen Pol

Recent events in Korea have led me
to take more than usual interest in
America and the American people I
have learned from newspapers, books,
magazines, ETC., that the average Amer
ican has many good points. His generous
nature, for instance, his unquestionable
hospitality, coupled with his knack of
making friends and his ch-admired
barter -mindedness.
From these, have learned your basic
personality. but I do not feel know you
as should. I think the easiest way to
acquire this knowledge is to make friends
with an American, get to know them as
individuals, learn their views, likes and
dislikes. habits and peculiarities. And
the only way I can possibly do that, is
by the pen.
So I am asking a great favor. Could
you help me to find pen-friend, male
or female. who would be kind enough to
educate me on American life.
Incidentally, I am 10; in few months
I will be called up on National Service,
and may be sent to Korea or some other
country-so it would be a great help to
familiarize myself with the American in
case Of such an event.
would deeply appreciate it if you
could find me just an ordinary American,
as am just an ordinary British youth;
and then the backbone of any country
is its ordinary people.

This and That
By Charles E. 7rocewen

that chastised pup whom she felt was
not getting the right training.
Her master was training the young
hounds to hold the trail of a fox by
dragging fox skin along the ground;
then the pups were supposed to trail
the scent.
'The old hound came along and kept
slapping the leading puppy on the head.
las the master felt she knew what she
was doing, in fact knew more about
training the pups than he did, he
abandoned this idea of training. It was
to him as if the old hound had said to
the young one, That's not fox you
are running, so stop it,
Another of the hounds would go tenn
porarily blind after long hunt. Once
when this happened, young hound just
beginning to run on the trails stayed in
the woods with the blinded one, and kept
with her until she got home.
"If she got on the wrong trail, the
young hound guided her Alright.
Even the chickens on this farm have
a remarkable sense of self preservation.
A certain coop was always used for the
newly Matched chickens. Imagine the
masters surprise when he discovered q
hen. after stealing nest and Matching
out brood, calmly walked up and placed
herself and chicks there.
Perhaps the oldest story is that OF a
beautiful saddle horse.
