Meanwhile, the Owls, who had
been held to two singles in the first
three innings, began pecking away
at the Cards lead in the 4th frame,
when singles by Arrago, Flint and
Welch, produced a run. They adj
ded another in the 5th, when doc"
Rothman banged a three-bagger to
right and Hank Nowak followed
right behind him with a double to
almost the same spot
They tied the game up in the
sixth, scoring five runs on three hits.
Napoles was up first and walked.
Flint pushed him around to third
with single to right and, after
WEIGH struck out, Johnny Flesh
walked, filling the bases. Martin
then grounded to short for the sec
ond out, Napoles scoring on the
play. Rothman then got his third
straight hit, a single to center,
scoring Flint and Flesh. Nowak, the
next man up, walked and he and
Rothman both scored on Meirko-
wicz's triple to left Arago ended
the inning by grounding out to
short.
The winning runs were scored in
the 9th, when Martins single, Roth
mans fourth straight hit, Nowak S
single and fly to left by Micro
wicz, produced two runs. Final
score: Hagerstown 9-12-2. Allen
town 1922.
Sundays doubleheader was split,
Allentown taking the opener z to 2,
while the Owls copied the nightcap
to 1.
Bob Alexander started the first
game, but was knocked out in the
sixth; Hammons relieved him, but
he didn't last long, being relieved
by Brett in the 7th.
The story of that game is soon
told. 1t was simply bad pitching
and loose fielding on the part of the
Owls, versus good pitching and err
rorless ball on the part of Allen
town. Pete Mazar went all the
way for the Cards and shut the
Owls out in every inning but the
9th, when we scored our two runs.
Final score: Allentown 7-13-0; Ha-
gerstown 2-7-3.
The nightcap, however, was a
different story. Art Dwyer was on
the mound and kept six hits well
scattered Che would have had a
shutout, but for Arago's relay of
Doc Rothman's throw hitting Mas
son on the head and bouncing into
left field, allowing Mason to score).
In the meantime the Owls were
jumping on Urine for 10 hits. Mar
tin started off the third inning with
double, Meirkowicz driving him
home with single to center. Two
more runs came across in the sixth,
when, after Martin had singled and
Rothman had showed him round to
third with double to left, Nowak
drove them both home with triple
TO deep center.
Just to make sure, they grabbed
off two more in the sixth, on three
walks, two singles and an error by
Cole. Final score: Owls 5-1O-3;
the Cards 1-6-1.
York was here Monday night,
taking the game 5 to 2. The Owls
had 2 to lead going into the
sixth, but York got to Slotter in the
Sixth, scoring three runs on three
hits, walk and an error by Slot
ter. They scored again in the 7th,
when two more walks and single
produced a run.
The Owls had excellent chances
to get back in the game, but were
unable to cash in on them. In the
7th, with one away, WEIGH beat out
a tap to the pitcher; Dwyer, batting
for Slotter, walked and Martin
beat out grounder to short. His
hit should have filled the bases, but
WEIGH overran the bag sliding into
third and was out. Rothman then
popped to second and McManus,
making his first appearance at bat
for the Owls, struck out, ending
that threat. Again in the 9th, af-
ter one man was out, McManus and
WEIGH singled, but McElmurray
then struck out Flesh and Martin to
end the game. Score: York 5-10-2;
Hagerstown 2-9-4.
The Fourth was anything but a
day of celebration for Hagerstown
ball fans, for those pesky Owls
dropped the holiday twin bill to
York, 80 and 8-3.
Morgan pitched the afternoon
game at York and was pounded for
IL hits, including four-bagger by
HOman with two Ynafac IN hose
