Fourteen men left on bases
and only three runs scored!
That was the st. Mary'S Celtics
record yesterday afternoon when
they dropped a 4-3 game to st.
JoSeph's at Baggett'S Field, Alex
andria, Va.
Unable to crash the pellet
when it really meant something
and DOC" FarringtoI1's knack for
Sneaking over that fatal" third
strike when things got hot" were
the outstanding reasons for the
Northeast Washington boys final
triumph.
Hardly had the first inning
started when Eddie Cinotti
doubled and trotted home on
Murphy'S single. The Celtics
came right back to tie the score.
Kidwell walked, and Ball and
Ludlow cracked off to one-baggers
which turned in one tally, Snappy
fielding holding the others to
their bags.
In the second frame the
St. Joe laddies really opened
up, with BuScher's single,
Mitchell'S stroll, Huck Hill
leary's smashing 3-ply sock,
the best hit Of the game,
bouncing far i'm the OutfieId.
scoring Buscher and Mitchell.
Eddie CinOtti obligingly
singled for the third run Of
the inning.
In the next three innings. st.
Mary'S threatened continually,
but lacked the punch in the
pincheS. In the third, for in
stance, they had the bases loaded,
but st. JoSeph'S medical student
struck out the main cog.
In the fifth the Celtics had
their best chance. Zimmerman
dropped q Texas Lacquer on the
border line between third base
and left filed for single, imme-
diately after Hamilton repeated
the performance to within inches
Of the spot, and a well-laid bunt
Of Cabell, which DOC" Earring
ton found hard to handle, left
life on every base. Bremen
walked and Langford followed
suit to force in two runs and no
outs.
But here the canny Doc
showed his class. Pitching slowly
and deliberately, the st. Joseph
star disposed Of the next three
batterS without permitting an
other run to trickle across the
plate.
A few more singles in the clos
ing innings failed to produce
TALES for either team and the
day closed with only three men
facing the pitchers for both
teams in the ninth.
Charlie Horn pitched q
steady game, while Earring
tom found himself i'm many q
hole but managed to worm
himself out Of them. He
allowed nine walks but struck
out eight to even things.
Eddie Cinotti, short stop for
the st. Joes, hit timely and con-
tributed a couple of smart plays.
Horne and Ludlow, third base.
welded the willow effectively for
the AlexandrianS, Ludlow provid-
ing q few added thrills with
cross diamond sprint in throwing
out men at first.
Bill FleSter's Frenchmen came
out on the wrong end OF an S-6
score when the Takoma Tigers
punched hits on them twice, once
in the sixth for four runs and
again in the seventh for two.
williams, Takoma'S right fielder,
was particularly hard on the ball,
whaling two triples in SUGGESTIONS
to bring in runs.
Stringing goose-eggs all along
the line the Mohawks and Del
Ray battled up to the eighth
without q run, when Del Ray
sent one over. In the ninth the
Mohawks loaded the bases and
Polly Hays obliged with a re-
sounding homer, giving the
Southeasters q 81 decision.
Jimmy McCalliSter's District
Grocery Stores baseballers
laid down q heavy barrage Of
hits to win over the Capital
Heights, 40. A brothers act,
with Dick and Ed Healy rs
the principals, was the feature
Of the victory.
Dick got three hits, while Ed
got two. Mahaney allowed eight
hits. A couple of nifty double
plays enlivened the game, with
Mahaney and E. Healy pulling
one, and a Suit to Lare to Suit
combination getting the other.
Suit and Lare shone at bat for
the losers.
Scraping up four runs in the
final round, the Red Sox tri-
umphed over the Bryantowns, 8
