MOUND PERFORMANCE BY SNOW HEARTENS tee
Trainers JOLT
Eastern in
Series
BY GARRETT WATERS

It's the plLcnlng P1AI always
counts.
An example of what it means
was given in that Tech-Eastern
interhigh baseball game at the
Eastern Stadium yesterday where
Wesley Snow, slender and very
serious, pitched himself a splendid
game and Tech to most impor-
tant win, the score Of 4 to 2.
There's an interesting angle be:
hind Shows performance. He was
handed the assignment by Coach
Ed Foxley because Of the poor
condition of the Tech mound
staff.
Normally q first baSeman and
an excellent one, Snow stalked to
the firing line and made his fast
ball count from the first out to
the last. And his pitching made
the Techmen look like champs,
in a sense-particularly when
one remembers the EaSternS were
defending a championship cap
tured in 1885 and many others
before that.
Carver Doubles
Snow retired the Parkers score
less until the fifth. Carver, the
youngsters opponent on the
mound, doubled in this frame
and scored when Kendall, Tech
first sacker, let Peppers grounder
go through him for a twobaSe
error.
In the sixth he gave up the
only other marker off his shoots.
A lusty triple by Gordon Bartoo,
Eastern first baseman, set the
stage. Taylor'S fly to Ciomei
scored Bartoo. Ciomei made a
fine catch on this play, taking the
ball at his shoe-tops after run
ming in fast for it.
Rip Carver matched Shows per-
Torrance on the mound for East
ern until the fifth. In this frame
q fluke gave the Techmen their
first score. That is, a play you
seldom see in any competition.
The run came after Snow and
Wise had singled and Ciomei
famed. Snow and Wise worked
double steal. Snow was safe at
the plate when Wesley Taylor,
Eastern catcher, interfered with
James Larrick, standing at bat
for Tech.
Put Game Awav
In the seventh, however, the
Trainers got to Carver to put the
ball game safely away. Hahn
singled to start the trouble, Aand
after Wise had famed and Ken
dali had walked, Ciomei, who had
famed on three previous appear
ances to the plate, singled sharply
to left, Hahn scoring.
Larrick grounded to Pepper on
the next play, and when the
Shortstop threw over Bartoo's
head at first, both Kendall and
Ciomei tailed.
The teams battled it out
fiercely from this stage, with
Eastern threatening only in the
ninth when two men reached the
bases. But Lambs grounder to
Larrick ended the game and gave
Tech a most gratifying victory,
enabled Snow to accomplish a
most unexpected feat, and stopped
an Eastern monopoly that has
reigned for years and years."
Riders. Bethesda Win
Roosevelt's Rough Riders and
Coach Larry Williams Bethesda
Chevy Chase diamonders won in
other games of yesterday.
The Riders defeated George
town Prep in a 1-to-0 thriller. fea-
turing a pitching duel between
Stuart GeSSford, of Roosevelt, and
DeSales Powell, southpaw Of
Georgetown Prep. Gessford, nor
mally a second baseman, was
given a chance to pitch by Coach
Herman Littman in preference to
others on the staff, who have
been weak all season.
Bethesda-C Chevy Chase defeated
Wilson, also by 1-to-0 score. In
this contest Crowell bested Borty
in a mound battle. Successive
doubles by Lozupone and Harris
won for the Bethesdans in the
sixth.
