BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY H. S. DOUGLAS


The members of the Hagerstown
Braves championship team of 1852
have now gone their various ways
some to their homes and some to re-
sumo their studies in college.
Before they left, however, they
were given farewell party by Gene
Raney, owner of the club, and l think
it was one that they will long re-
member.
Despite the fact that, to put it
bluntly, Hagerstown and Washing
ton County let the ball club down
the attendance at the home games
over the season bearly reached 50,-
900, which means that Mr.. Raney
took heavy loss on the seasons OPP
eration-he realized that the team
had done a magnificent job and de-
served something more than just
their salaries, hence the farewell
party
After everyone present had enjoy
ed a fine meal Chow those ball play
ers go for steaks), Rufus Edwards,
general manager of the club, in a
few well chosen words, called upon
Gene to address the gathering. But
as it turned out, he gave something
much more than an address.
After telling the boys how much
he appreciated their winning not on
ly the pennant, but the Governors
Cup, he then told of the fine remarks
heard all over the Interstate League
circuit regarding the behavior of the
Hagerstown Club, both on and off
the field, and he was also lavish in
his praise in his two right hand men
Rufus and Dutch Dorman.
Gene then presented every mem
Der on the team with a beautiful
wristwatch and followed that up
with Waterman pen and pencil sets
to the members of the press and
radio. He then climaxed it all with
the presentation to Dutch of new
Chevrolet car in recognition of his
great work in bringing along this
bunch of boys as possibly no other
manager could have done.
All in all it was a fine night and
a grand wind-up to the 1852 season.
With the Brooklyn Dodgers now
assured of the National League pen
nant, it remains to be seen what will
happen in the American League race
where, although the New York
Yankees have distinct advantage,
there is still a possibility that the
Cleveland Indians can pull it out of
the fire.
My congratulations to the Hagers-
town Varsity Football team in win
ming their first two games of the sea-
son and here's hoping they have an
other successful year.
l regret l was unable to see either
of these two games, but l hope to
take in all the remainder of their
home games and to. give you my inn
pressions of what I see.
l am indebted to Paul Macy, sta
tistician of the Independent Baseball
League, for some details of the
leagues averages in the 1852 season
and notice that Jack Starliper of
st. James won the batting cham
pionship with a percentage of .429.
Other interesting figures are: Pike
of Security and o, Smith of Ante
tam tied for the most times at bat
(88); Pike and Stubits, both of
Keedysville, tied for the most runs
(28); Stubits also had the most
RIBS (25); and Pike had the most
hits (35).
Paul tells me that he will have the
pitching and fielding records later
and I will publish the high spots
from them as soon as they come in.

Income Taxes Up 17 Percent Over Last Year

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e average individual paid about IT per cent more income tax in 1851 than he did in 1850.
 And he'll pay more in 1852.
 The percentage is somewhat smaller for persons in the higher brackets but they also got heavier WhackS in the pocketbooks.
 The heavier tax payments re- suited from increases which went into effect Oct. 1, 1850 and Nov. 1, 1851.
 The first increase pushed 1851 taxes up about 13 per cent over 1850. That resulted from repeal of a tax cut which had been voted by the Republican-controlled 80th Congress over a presidential veto.
 Piled on top of this was an increase of 1134 per cent for most persons, effective Nov. l.

Congress Cool To Plan Reorganize
 Internal Revenue

WASHINGTON, (P) - With a 6O-day deadline for action, Con- gresS took a cool look at Presi- dent Truman's plan to reorganize the Internal Revenue Bureau.
 One senator who had talked with several colleagues said 'it doesn't seem to have too much support" He asked to remain anonymous because he is a mem Der of the committee that must pass on the plan.
 The President proposes to slash the number of internal revenue collectors from 64 to 25 and to put them under Civil Service with wider responsibility.
 Senator Kefauver D-Tenn) and 24 other senators introduced two bills which would furnish an all formative method of recognizing the bureau.
