Letter TO the Editor
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
About two years ago the news
reached Robbins that there was
going to be structed a new
high school that would serve the
Robbins community.
Immediately Robbins Planning
began having conferences with
the High School officials in the
hope Of getting that official to
hold off starting construction
of the building for go days. The
school board stated that the
building was too badly needed
to hold off. They must get
started. They d dn't have time
to give Robbins a chance to take
advantage of the opportunity
this new school afforded Rob-
bins to make an application to
get a loan from the government
to build streets, and put in side
walks. Robbins was told that
the school had to be finished by
September, 1856. The school was
finished September, 1857.
Recently the High School
Board made application to the
village for water and sewer
service to the house occupied by
the janitor, corner Springfield
avenue and Midlothian Turn
pike.
Notwithstanding the action of
the school board in 1856, the
present village board saw fit to

An aspect of the proposed year-around school
program that has had little public discussion is
the possibility for reiuvenation of the grand old
game of baseball
If the school year could be extended through
the basebat months maybe high school athletic
programs could be- too. Presently the hardball
gets tucked away about the time the boys are
getting numbered. A high school baseball team
playing through the summer could more than
double its schedule and perhaps such program
could prevent the national pasttime" from join
ing the potbellied stove, the cigar store Indian,
and nickel beer in the ranks of vanishing Amer
icana
Once the number one game in the nation,
baseball has slipped far behind basketball foot
ball and horse racing in Americas Gallup Poll
of spectator sports The youth leagues have done
much to promote the game which, legend says,
Abner Doubleday, the Civil War hero, supposedly
invented in corn field in Cooperstown, N Y. But
sports popularity is judged these days by the num-
ber of persons who plunk down buck to watch -
not play TV and the farm system is held account
able by some for the collapse of the minor leagues
Only in Latin America does baseball still thrive.
There's two things wrong with baseball"
Joe Judge, veteran major league player, coach
and lately Georgetown University tutor told
this reporter several years ago.
"One thing is that few school coaches
played the game and the other is that nobody
plays enough games
Judge complained that most baseball coaches
were football basketball men and had little
experience beyond college whereas in the old
days, most of the coaches had had a few seasons
of professional ball
There's no doubt that doubled high school
baseball season would do wonders for baseball"
says Pete Haley, Bethesdan who has secuted
these environs for the Detroit Tigers for the past
10 years.
$50 many kids finish their seasons just when
the hot weather is starting and most of them
hang up the glove until next year"
Montgomery County sentinel., 1958-12-31

Haley admits that more boys are playing
baseball than ever before because of youth
league activity, but the greater part of these
teams are in 16-and-under loops and the
average young player finds no place to go
after reaching II or so.
"The outstanding boys get picked up by the
better teams that play downtown on the elipse.
But the rest have nowhere to go and get jobs
or go to the beach,
"A coach may not know the inside of base.
bali If he's football man but you can have all
the fancy coaching you want, nothing beats
playing the game.
There are very few phantoms who can make
boy field or hit when he couldn't do it before.
And there's nobody who can make boy run and
throw if he doesn't know how"
A good example of how the season ends some
times before boy can timber up is Louis Abra-
hams of Damascus Louis hit about $50 with
Damascus High School, then reversed his form
and batted .423 with the Damascus team in the
county semipro loop. Louis finished fourth in
batting in the adult league behind two minor
league ball players and college star.

friend brought back amusing story
about the Italian equivalent TO an amateur
world series after a blistering 15-game
schedule.
When the home pitcher tired and began to
allow a few runs, the Italian coach changed
catchers. This failed to stem the avalanche of
opposing hits and the coach put in a second
catcher and so on until the weary hurler finally
got the side out.

the pitchers to death. But just think of how many
experienced catchers they'd have.

Northwood will get a quick
challenge by entertaining un-
beaten Bladensburg in what may
be one of the two biggest Bi-
County league contests of the
season.
The second biggest game of the
year will probably be when the
two square off for the return
match in February. The Mus
tangs, with height and good
speed, are favorites to cop the
league title, with Northwood
figuring to give them the most
serious challenge. The Indians
have to regain the plus-50 per-
cent shooting average til e y
showed against Wheaton to scalp
the likes of the towering Mus
tangs.
The Indians got a king sized
scare while breaking Blair's 28-
game league string before the
holiday. when Charlie Pryor near

seconds as Northwood won, 34-33.
