MOBN1NO HERALD, HAOERSTOWN, MARYLAND Rebels Seek Revenge In CVAL TesFA.g.aiist Joe orts TO BHBUBB, there was nott particularly unusual the manner ia which thto bit ketball game being played But a peruiual of the the and the audl offered convincing proo that you hardly would come across a match this ever day. The action unfolding before the eyes was taking place Inside walls of the Maryland State 1 Hagerstown Tie and Frederick, dressed alike In their drab uw IJUCIL urm priwa garb, surrounded the playing court a single row They stood with their backs to the wall because there are no seats for the audience in thi; I UJ UUO gymnasium. Much of the time they were silent onlookers bu occasionally when the home team made a good play the ap piause was readily forthcoming. Vic Barnhart, who used to be proficient enough as a baseball intielder to make it all the way to the big time with the Pittsburgh Pirates, was standing by the beach of the Reformatory reserves, shouting encouragement to pupilj on the court days, Barnhart earns bis the Reformatory athletic program along with Roger (Buzz) Schlosser, who was close by. This happened to be Vic's turn on the night trick so he was coaching the prison team.

When Schlosser is on the night side, he does tha same. A spectator with a keen interest in the goings-on was Clement Ferling, the articulate superintendent of the reformatory located a mere ten minutes' drive south of Hagerslown. "You know," he was saying, "I only wsh we had larger gymnasium faculties here, with seating accommodations for the entire reformatory population. As it we can get oaly about 150 in for one game, so we have to stagger them. Next game, we'll bring in a different group.

"But even witi what we have, he mused, "we're better off than a lot of prison institutions. Some of them have no or chapels or auditoriums, as we do. I can recall that at Sing Sing, where I spent ,28 years on the staff, there was no gym until about 20 years ago when a movie producer, who had made a picture there, donated money to build one. He 1 cduldn't pay the state for the use of the place while making the movie so ha used that means Iris appreciation. FERLING IS a gentleman ostensibly, believes rehabilitation is the primary task prison officials should concern themselves with.

He takes great pride in describing the work at the reformatory and he has a good deal of praise for the athletic program as run Schlosser and Barnhart. by teoube and they're wonderfu men to run our athletic the superintendent enthuses i prsone toe reformatory has an hour a 8Ct 88lde Physical edu cation classes, Since the prison population is more than a thous i. 8m WWMtom often ed urlng the winter nUis. But when warmer weather prevails, there is plert oversee a reformatory softbal league In Uie summer, while during the fall the accent is on touch football. When winter comes, they issue a summons tor pr son team basketball and usually carry ten to squad.

"EVERY MAN on the team must maintain a good record here at the reformatory or he's dropped immediately," Barn- lart explains. us today, we ost our biggest man, a 6-8 guy who gave us a Jot of rebound strength. He lost his regular lob and that meant we had to drop him from the basketbal squad." Every inmate is assigned to a job at the reformatory after iroper classification. A basketball player must be in good standing on his job or lose his team status. The players are pretty devoted to the team and there are few indeed who "fowl up" and lose their "varsity" standing.

THE TEAM plays an average if a game a week, against clubs rom Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Waynesboro and other urrounding towns. The players pracitce one night a week in ireparation. Regular officials from the ocal board are employed to eferee, a practice which has een followed for the last couple years. Before (hat, the of- iciating job was delegated to inmates. But the feeling was tiat even If the prisoners dM a wd job, the opposition may ave been inclined to believe here was room for partiality.

"IT'S FUNNY, but we some- lines have more trouble scheduling Hagerstown baseball and askctball teams than we do lubs from other cities," Schloser notes.

fered him a contract calling for a 24 per cent cut in salary, and he Is rejecting it. "I got a contract one degree from all the way," the big right- hander said, referring to the 25 per cent maximum cut allowec In the major leagues, "I can't understand it. They might as well have gone all the way." Turley thus joins outfielders Mickey Mantle and Roger Maria in the growing list of Yankees dissatisfied with their contract of Mantle also is-bucking a big slash. Turley reportedly got $32,000 last yearafter a 21-7 record as ths majors' top pitcher In 1958. He had only an 8-11 record last season.

"I always understood that if you weren't too rough on them in a good year they wouldn't be too rough when you had a bad one," Turley said. "It was kind of rough. I didn't expect that much of a slash." Turley was here for an athlete of the year award dinner.
