Only Game Ahead

With three weeks Of play gone by,
the Montgomery County Baseball
League is proving loop Of we'll
matched teams. -Four are punched
at the top with two wins and one
setback each, while the others are
in a tangle with one win and two
setbacks after yesterdays games. in
which the two top clubs were
knocked of by the two bottom
teams.
Bethesda Barons and German
town, which previously hadn't won
a game, downed the hitherto un-
defeated Damascus and Rockville
mines. Bethesda was 7-6 winner,
the deciding run coming In the
eighth inning when Jimmy Kins-
man stole home when two were out,
while Germantown topped Rock
vile, 8-3.
In the other games. Poolesville
took IL innings to defeat Gathers
burg Trojans, SIS, while Gathers
burg A. c. nosed out Potomac, 5-4
in what probably was the days
best game. This was pitchers
battle between Lee Hottinger of the
Trojans, who gave six safeties, and
Johnny Murnane of Potomac, who
was nicked for seven. Some fancy
fielding by Bobby Johnson, Walter
Johnson's son. probably saved the
game for Gaithersburg when Poto-
mac threatened in the ninth. He
made an unasSisted double play and
then shared a line drive for all three
of the ninth-inning outs.
The four clubs now punched at
the top are Rockville, Gaithersburg
A. c., Damascus and Poolesville.

Is Home Runs Are Hi
As Orioles, Newark
Split Twin Bill

BY the Associated Press.
Power, unadulterated and unra-
toned, was on display in the Inter-
national League double headers yes
terday. In some games it appeared
on the mound, in others at the plate.
Surprisingly, it was well dis
tributed, with every team in the
league gaining one victory and suf-
fering one defeat.
Much of the hitting fireworks was
concentrated at Baltimore, where
the Orioles won the opener, 13 to s,
and the Newark Bears took the sec
ond, to 6.
Thirteen homers were Dashed dur
ing the afternoon, with Hal Sieling,
Oriole leftfelder, getting three in
the first game. All told, Baltimore
hit eight.
Probably the most powerful thing
in the Baltimore park, however, was
the mound, which supported an
even dozen hurlers in the two games.

a possibility In many other areas.
We continue to believe it is good
thing.
Boatmen in this area who believe
the few requirements they have had
to meet are stringent should live in
the Detroit area where boats are
not allowed to move without spe-
cial license which must be applied
for seven days in advance.
Because this affects rowboats as
well as large craft-pleasure boats In
that area have a total value OF
$50, 1000, ,O0O-there is little movement
by those bent upon pleasure. Com
pare their prohibitions with the few
restrictions here and it appears we
are extremely lucky.
Catches 34-Pound Shook.
The Rupert contest this year
blossomed out with new class. 1t
was for snook, which is a typical
Southern species. but it wasn't play
ing any favorites because there are
classes for several Northern species,
too.
Last week was caught fish that
without doubt will drag down top
money in that new division. 1t
weighed "a pounds, a half pound
more than the Miami tournament
record for snook which tops every
catch for the species no matter how
or where caught.
This species is one of our favor
ties, and on bait-casting tackle, as
this one was caught, their fight is
something to behold.

it's stripers those boys are after, and
what's more, they're catching them
up to five pounds and better.
So far as we can learn the stretch
above the railroad has been most
productive. In other years the polo
grounds point has been a good
place. There is no reason why it
should not provide good fishing now.
In this part of the Potomac fish,
ing is strictly for fun, because the
pollution in the river is so heavy
as to make their consumption as
food inadvisable So have the thrill
of catching them, but put them

into a hitting pitcher at Georgetown
this spring, made successful sand
lot debut yesterday in twirling Ninth
and New York Avenue Lunch to a
5-4 victory over Jacobson Florists
in a game that established the
winners as pennant threats in the
National City League.
The game topped an abbreviated
program that saw the Eagles ham
mer Taft A. C. for an 11-3 decision
in the only other Section A game.
Free hitting battles and lop- sided
scores predominated in Section B.
Joe Boyle's nine tightened its grip
on the lead with a SO victory over
Capital Transit, but Ross Engineers
pummelled Victory Club. 20-1, and
Kavakos Grill slaughtered Southern
Oxygen, 1874.
Wells settled after a rough second
frame in which Jacobsen scored all
OF its runs, giving up seven hits and
tanning six. He connected for two
bingles off Jennings. the only player
on his team to hit safely more than
once. Billy Robertson's triple and
two singles by Finn featured Jacob
sens attack.
The Eagles, with Yates leading
the drive. pounced on Webb for
seven runs in the fourth to clinch
their win over Taft.
Walter Pohutsky held the Transit
nine to seven scattered hits for
Boyle's while Day and Citrenbaum
were pacing 16-hit assault on Sup
ton and Mollar. Ross counted 10
runs in the sixth and seven in the
seventh to sew up its game with
Victory, while Kavakos drove over
10 in the third to whip the Oxygen

Abandoning any thought of knock

will send only three men to the
I. c. 4-A. track and field champion
ships at Triborough Stadium, New
York, this week.
AL Blozis, closing out one Of the
finest track careers in Hilltop his
tory, will defend his crowns in the
discus and shotput, Hugh Short will
try for the quarter mile champion
ship and Hugh James will bid for
the 220 sprint crown.
Blozis, scheduled to receive his
diploma at commencement exercises
today, is the only one of the trio
in town and will be here most of
the week. The others are training
on their own at their respective
homes. Short, according to Coach
Hap Hardell, will work only two
days, while James, who has a slight
cramp in his leg. will put in four
days Of light work.
Blozis Only Likely Winner.
OF the three, only Blozis shapes
as winner. He stands head and
shoulders above his field, physically
and otherwise, but in the 220 James
will be pitted against Barney Ewell,
Penn States great Negro champion,
who is trying for his third triple
crown-a feat never before accom-
plished-and Short will meet Jack
Campbell, Fordham's defending
champion, in the 440. Another out

to do much about it. He also is
