In the seventh, with one away,
Shoff walked and Haas singled to

(Tuesday, July 81

The Owls celebrated the arrival of

started for Harrisburg, and manager
Bell kept him in for seven innings,

top half of the eighth. He was
charged with Is of the Owls 10 runs

Jenis, got at least one hit-they got
seventeen altogether = and every

five runs and scored three times him

Keeping Up
With The Owls
(Continued from Page 6.)-

Grifiths' fighting, scrappy, Owls,
whose pitchers have been going the
distance of late-and more impor-
tant, winning most of their games
with the whole team playing heads
up ball and living up to that old
baseball axiom, THE team that
won't be beat, can't be beat" kept
up their winning ways in the open
ing game.
With Gene Joselane coming up
with a four-hit job and shutting out
the York White Roses in every in
ming but the eighth, and not allow
ing even a semblance of a hit until
two were out in the sixth, the Owls
coasted to To win.
With Dick Williams still suffering
with a bad arm, Ken Humphrey
continued in center field with Owcar
in right and Swanson behind the
plate. The remainder of the line
up was the same as usual. i.
Highlander Don Smith started
for York, with Sheehan behind the
plate. Smith was driven to the
showers in the seventh and Walsh
came in. He was lifted for a pinch
hitter in the eighth and Kroner
pitched the ninth inning.
The Owls lost no time in breaking
into the run column. Bobbie Martin,
the first man up in the first inning,
drew a base on balls and Bernie
Jenis promptly drove him home
with a triple to right. Yeash then
went out, third to first, with Jenis
holding third. Ken Humphrey then
went out short to first, with Jenis
scoring on the play Daddario end
ed the inning by grounding to
Dwyer at second, who threw to
Widnyer at first for the out. 2R. l
H. OE.
They made it 40 in the fourth.
Yeash opened the inning with a
double to left. Humphrey popped to
Widmyer at first and Daddario flied
to right, with Yeash taking third
after the catch. Dresser then doub-
led to left scoring Yeash and he
scored himself a moment later when
Owcar got the third double of the
inning Swanson grounded to short
and was thrown out, ending the
inning 2R. 3H 0E.
They made it 10 in the seventh
when the Owls got their last runs
Joselane started things off with 6
single to right. Martin then laid
down a bunt and beat it out for ar
inield hit. Jenis up next and he
advanced both runners with per-
feet sacrifice bunt down the third
base line. Yeash followed with 6
solid single to left, scoring Joselane
and Martin and when Haas let the
ball get away, Yeash went all the
way to third. That was all fol-
Smith and Walsh went to the
mound. Humphrey up next and he

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
The Owls
By DOUG STEWART

The Owls
A staunch supporter of the Owls,
who chose to remain anonymous,
strolled into the press box on Tues
day night, calmly threw two twenty
dollar bills down and said: Give
this forty bucks to the Owl player
in tonight's game whom you fell
lows in the press box judge de-
serves it most" Then, just as
calmly, he strolled out again.
BY unanimous decision the forty
simoleons were awarded to Bobbie
Martin, who not only got four hits
out of five times at bat, but also
drove in five runs.
AS usual, the full story of all the
games of the Owls during the past
week, through Tuesday night, will
be found on page six.
