had long talk with Gene Raney
last week and he is really enthused
about the prospects for the Piedmont
League in 1854.
Gene feels that since Hagerstown
will be the only 'B" Farm Club of
the Washington Senators, he and his
new manager, Paul Campbell, will
get the pick of all the Washington
players who are unable to make
either their "A'' or GAP Farm Clubs.
This, he feels, will be particularly
true as the season develops.
You will remember that last year,
under the working agreement with
the Milwaukee Braves, the Hagers-
town Club got very little support in
the later part of the season, mainly
due to the fact that Milwaukee own
ed the Glass "B" Evansville Club
and their wants were taken care of
ahead of Hagerstown.
Gene also told me that Sherry
Robinson, of the Washington Cubs
Farm System, is going to make Ha-
gerstown the headquarters for the
Washington Baseball School. This
school will be conducted right here
at the stadium during the 1854 season
and will do lot toward keeping in
terest alive while the team in on the
road.
He also told me that he was happy
to be able to announce that Mr..
Summers, president of the Piedmont
League, who rendered his resigna-
ton at the fall meeting in November,
has now decided to stay on for an
other year at least.
The last item of interest Gene
gave me, was that he felt plans would
be worked out so that there would
not be a repetition of the long home
stands of from Z to or days, fol-
lowed by similar long road trips.
With Lancaster now in the league
he felt sure that much better
schedule can be worked out for 1854
The Gaels and the Gaelettes, of the
varsity basketball team of st. Mary's
High School, came through with a
double victory Friday night, when
they took the measure of the boys
and girls teams of st. Joseph's High
School of Martinsburg. The game
was played on the Armory court
here.
The Gaels, after losing really
tough game the week before, had no
trouble with st. Joseph's. They took
an 1911 lead in the first period and
were never headed from then on.
At half time the score was 1921 and
then Hagerstown really put the game
on ice in the third period, when they
picked up Is points while holding
the Martinsburg boys to 4, and that
made the score at the end of the
third period, 1925.
Then, with Coach Father Dausch
emptying his bench in the fourth
quarter, the Gaels piled up 18 more
points while holding ST. Joseph's to
z.
Gallaher, st. Mary's center, was
the high scorer, with IA goals and
one foul, for a total of 20 points.
The Gaelettes continued their win
ming ways, to give them a record of
II wins against only two losses over
a two year span. The ST. Josephs'
girls put up a good fight, but they
just weren't good enough, the final
score being, 1921.
A feature of the game was the
fact that only three girls in each
team figured in the scoring. For st.
