BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Behind the five-hit pitching OF
Maggie, the Owls took over possession
of first place Monday night, when
they trounced Wilmington, 30. The
win put them on top of the heap by
full game and also gave them the
series, to /.
Watson, who came to the Owls in
the trade that sent catcher Crumling
to Allentown, arrived in time to
take over first base in Monday
nights game, replacing Weinschrei-
der, who has been returned to Buff
falo.
Weinschreider was returned by
manager Phillips, with fine of 500
tackled on, because of his Indifferent
playing, lack of hustle and insubor-
dination. We have known Eddie
Phillips long time. That is why
we wrote in this column several
weeks ago, that win, lose, or draw,
he would demand that his players
hustle every minute they were on
the field.
Maggie, who started the second
game on Sunday afternoon lit was
called in the first inning on account
of rain}, pitched a sweet game Mon
day night and was never in serious
trouble. On the other hand, the
Owls nicked KAMA for IA hits, in
Guiding Daddario's home run in the
fourth.
With Gene Enright, a highlander
secured from Utica, added to the
pitching staff and another right
handler expected in a day or two,
Phillips will be able to give his
badly overworked pitching staff a
little more rest between games and
the team should be at its peak when
they return home on July 7th.
Over at Charles Town, trainer A.
L. Leith has really been putting on
a show with E. b. Lees seven-year-
old gelding, Vendors Lien. Leith
started him eight times this year
and he's won every time, climaxing
his amazing record last Saturday by
breaking the track record for the
Charles Town course (about 1870 feet
over six furlongs). The old record,
liza 3/5, was held jointly by Pimli-
co Lady and Red Wrack and had
stood for several years until Ven
doris Lien knocked fifth of a sec
ond off it.
Meeting the fastest field of sprint
tiers he has faced this year, includ-
ing Navy, who was shipped to
Charles Town from Suffolk Downs
especially for the race, Vendors
Lien, breaking from the outside post
position, OUTRAGED the fast-breaking
Terry May to the first turn, took the
lead and was never headed.
By the way; did you know that
Bailey Goss's National Sports Pa
rade is now heard over WEI every
