SCrivener Adds
Strength To
Brewers
Nv SID KATZNELL

BY SID KATZNELL
Now that the Heurich Brewers
have found a southpaw pitcher
who can win with regularity. they
should burn things UP on the local
and nearby sandlot diamonds.
Their find is none other than
Archie Scrivener, former George
Washington University hurler,
who had q tryout with the Wash
1ngton Griffmen two years ago.
According to friends, Scrivener
would have made the grade with
the Griffmen if sickness hadn't
kayoed him.
Yesterday the diminutive left
handler displayed some Of the
stuff that made him the thorn
in the sandlotter's path two sea-
sons ago. He turned back the
Dixie Pigs, to l, in Section A
Of the National City League,
allowing nine scattered hits and
tanning five. His control was un-
usually good for a left-hander, as
he issued only three free tickets.
Scrivener's addition to the
Heurich family has Skyrocketed
its stock in the sandlot market.
The Brewers had well-balanced
club before Scrivener joined their
ranks, with the exception Of the
pitching, and he has filled that
gap.
Stahl, Bat Leader
Huck Stahl was the leader at
the plate for the Brewers yes
terday, lacing out three hits in
four trips.
Blue Flame Valet Shop, Union
Printers and Shady Grove were
victorious in Section B Of the Ma
tional City League.
The Valetmen, who won the
pennant last year, pounded out is
hits to defeat Plaza, 10 to 4.
Lefty" Morgan, newly acquired
southpaw, worked for the winners
and permitted six hits. Frank Di-
Nenna, who is also quite a pitcher,
played right field for the Flames
and proved to be a sensation at
the platter, getting four for four.
Union Printers noSed out Miller
Furniture, 5 to 4. The Printers
scored their winning run on an er-
ror. Ray Holman singled to left
In the ninth inning with the score
deadlocked at A, advanced to
third on an infield out and scored
when the Millers' second sacker
threw wildly to first after neatly
fielding DewhurSt'S hot shot.
Garner Scores
Shady Grove outslugged w. o.
w. elm Camp, 10 to 8. The
Grovemen made IS hits and their
opponents counted IL.
Jimmy Garner, former Roosevelt
High hurler, turned in the best
pitching performance in Section
B. He set down the w. o. w.
Coax Camp with five hits to en-
able Old Manhattan to win, 8 to
l. Garner had his fast ball work
ing to perfection, tanning an even
dozen batterS. Sandlot league
