We couldn't very we'll say that
little Terry Wiran, 21-C Ridge

knew right where he was. The
difficulty seemed to arise from
the fact that his parents didn't
share his knowledge. The result?
Police were called, meetings in

was formed. For an hour and a
half Greenbelt went on a boy

1t all started out innocently.

When they reached the other end
Terry had disappeared. A search
of the immediate vicinity proved
fruitless. Officer Dove was con-

ed and the hunt was on.
In the meantime Terry had gone
to visit friends of his, the Magees
at IA Southway. Mr.. and Mrs.
Magee, possibly having had pre-
vious experience, returned the
small vagrant to his home only to
find one one there. Not wishing
to leave the young fellow alone,

organized in one group.
Mrs. Levine also announced that
more leaders and assistant leaders
are needed in Greenbelt, stating
that many girls were turned away
last season for lack Of leadership.

By BILL MOORE

A lot of water has gone under
the bridge since Bill Therrell last
sported the Shamrock colors. He
batted .4O4 three years ago and
then moved to Mississippi.
Back from the Southland, his
family living in the same Greenbelt
home they once left, the old re-
liable Therrell proved that his
batting eye is still sharp as ever.
Bill banged out three doubles and
a single in the pair of games
Sunday.
When Ernie Boggs shat out
A1mstrong-Roney aOith a solitary
single 1t 1Uas the first time since
June 21 that the fire-baller aUon
game. Sig contests haze gone
against Ernie IN that time, two s
hitters, a hitter, a hitter, and
taUo 3 hitters. HIS Shamrock team
mates couldn't haze been very
helpful!
Who remembers when Council
man Bauer took things in his own
hands and presented the Reps with
much needed win during the late
successful softball season? That
4 run homer was the noisiest hit
Greenbelt ever witnessed! And
big George was beside himself with
merriment as he tumbled over
home plate.
The Shamrock's startling short
stop Gerald Geyer is back from
has Wisconsin vacatiOn. He got
IN a couple of ball games eOith his
old crOmies IN the Industrial lea
que, and got for 9 aOith his mace.
Steve Comings is reformed
man now. The blasting courtster
has had to have his racket re-
strung but one time in the last
month.
Wayne Davis played lot of
second base With bum knee last
Sunday. Wayne ta0isted has knee,
during infield practise, IN such q
manner as to cause a temporary
dislocataon of the joint, and very
painful. Makes the second time
this summer and the slugging
Davis shows large bit of grit and
team spirit IN playing at all.
Things we would like to see:
Julius Andrus get three or four
bits against Johnny Flynn, of
Stanleigh Inn, day after tomor-
row. Ditto Mickey Mcdonald.
This pair of ball-hawks have had
terrible time manufacturing
base-hits this season.
Leroy Clark and Ann Martone
had to forfeit the scheduled mi1ed
doubles match to the BlGcketts.
Ann is Just back IN toaOn after a
few days away and LeroW has
gone off to school. Tough aOay for
the defending champions to boaO
out of the Tennis tourney
Sunday will give local ball fans
their first chance to size up the
new outfielder, Joe Ciomei. They
won't have to size cup" very far
because Joe is one of these pint
sized speedsters. He carries a
potential "big" bat.
Here's that third strike again.
Greenbelt cooperator., 1942-09-18
Big Guns Blast

During the long afternoon the
Shamrock stickmen, paced by the
nonchalant Bill Therrell, sprayed
a couple dozen base hits, of vari-
Gus lengths, all over the Braden
Field terrain. The veteran Their
rell pumped out three doubles and
a single in seven tries.
Curt Barker, playing his last
games before leaving for Navy in
doctrination at Dartmouth, gar
nered two hits and three runs in
each game.
Ben Goldfaden and Bill Moore
rifled out five hits apiece to add
to the visitors discontinue.
Hurting Heroic
While all this slugging display
was taking place a pair of Greenie
hurlers, named Jim Breed and
Ernie Boggs, were chucking them
selves a two-hitter and one-hitter,
respectively. The big Texan Whit
fed eight and walked one in the
opener, and the blond, big game
hunter from West Virginia famed
nine in the night-cap.
That One Hit!
The lone bingle Boggs allowed
was tough for the little right
handler to take. He was within one
out of a perfectly pitched ball
game. Not one man had reached
first base and two men were out
in the last inning when Lefty"
Greenwell dumped "Texas
Lacquer" into short left field to
cheat Boggs of Prince Georges

honors.
