Notes On the Owls.

Larry Giambellucca, who played
left field for Trenton in some seven
ty games and was then returned to
Norfolk, who made him a free
agent, has been signed by the Owls
and is at present playing the hot
corner. While he isn't any ball of
fire afield, he is doing alright at
bat. He got two hits Zone of them
a triple) and drove in two runs in
the first game on Sunday; got q
single and double in the nightcap
and got a hit and drew two walks
on Monday night.
