Orrell To Play
In MY. Classic

One of Wilmington's crack anna
teur golfers, Louis Orrell, will
leave the city shortly Tor New
York, and before his return he
will have tested the Apawamls
Country club 18-hole course in Rye,
N. Y. in the Senior golf teurna-
ment, played annually by members
of the United States Senior Golf
association.
The association is made up of
amateur stars throughout the
country, elected to membership,
and over SIS years of age.
This will be Orrell's first effort
in the yearly classic and in his
W words, he doesn't expect to
come anywhere near winning, but
will have a darned good time"
Actually, however. Orrell is a
good enough linksman to threaten
any tournament. He is a former
| champion of the Cape Fear Coun-
try club, and he fired an 80 during
the recent Star-News tournament,
which was good enough for a third
place deadlock with Ben Wash
burn. In fact, Orrell was thorough
ly disguised with his score in the
IStar-News event, and shoots regu'
Ilarly 1r the middle seventies, which
is top tournament play despite the
increasing number of 68's and 69's
being listed in pro Journeys each
week.
In the Senior tourney, which
starts June 81 at Rye, Orrel will
be competing with some OF the
finest and mos. experienced elder
|ly golfers in the, nation. Ellis
Knowles, a past winner in the
event, and who went through the
first three rounds in the British
amateur tournament recently, will
be one of Orrel's foes. Another will
be Bill Hunt, Houston, Texas old
ster, who is a former Walker Cup
star.

AT YORK
TUESDAY, June 81

Moving over to York on Tuesday
for the first in a three-game series
there, the Owls finally broke into
the win column again, in what we
will have to admit was a pretty
loosely played game.
The story of the game is the story
of a steady relief job by Eddie Bum
stead, two big innings in which the
Owls scored all their runs, and four
costly errors by York, all of which
came in the same inning
Schultz started on the mound
for Hagerstown and Cardey for
York, but neither was around when
the final out was made. Schultz got
by the first inning alright, although
he gave up two bases on balls, but
Bunny Grifiths yanked him in the
second frame, when, after one man
was out Dryer singled to center,
Hadican got on through Lance's er-
Iror, Cardey singled scoring Dryer,
and Kovalak drew his second
straight walk. Eddie Bumstead
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1947-06-05

took over from there and retired
the side without any further dam
age, he struck out Feraco and Beard
flied to Yeash.
Cardey held the Owls to one hit
through the first three frames and
then the roof fell in on him. Here's
what happened in that wild and
woody fourth.
Martin, the first man up, singled
to left. Jenis sacrificed thim down
with a bunt along the third base
line, but both runners were safe
when Peden dropped the ball. Yeash
up next and he got single to short
right, filling the bases. Humphrey
then doubled to left, scoring Martin
and Jenis. Williams then grounded
to Feraco, who booted the ball, with
Yeash scoring on the error. Dad
ldario up next and he grounded to
third, with the play being made at
the plate, but Hadican let the ball
Iget away and both Humphrey and
Williams scored. Lance went out
second to first, for the first out of
the inning.
Crumling was up next and he was
safe when Feraco booted his
grounder, Daddario going to third
on the error (the fourth in the inn
Iing). Bumstead then singled to
right scoring Daddario. That was
all for Cardey and Cook went to the
mound. The first man to face him
was Bobby Martin Cup for the sec
lond time in the inning). Cooks
pitch got away from Hadican, NOV
ing Crumling to third and Bum
stead to second. Then he cut loose
with wild pitch, scoring Crumling
with the seventh and final run of
the inning. Martin then fouled to
the catcher for the second out and
Jenis ended the weird inning by
grounding to the pitcher. 7R. All. 4E.
Twp. 1PB. l left
An error by Martin, coupled with
single and a double, gave York
two runs in the seventh, but the
Owls really put the game on ice,
when they scored four more in the
eighth, on a single by Williams, a
walk to Daddario, a single by Crum-
ling, a double by ARumstead and
singles by Martin 80 Yeash.

Keeping Up
With The Owls
fContinued from Page Cd


walked three batters, the Owls could
only push across one run, leaving
eleven stranded on the bases. Eight
Hagerstown batters went down via
the strike out route.
On the other hand, the Trenton
Giants converted the thirteen hits
and seven walks given up by trio
of Owls pitchers, into thirteen runs.
Owcar started, was knocked out in
the third, after being charged with
eight runs; Joselane relieved him
and pitched good ball until the sew
enth, when he was taken out for a
pinch hitter, and manager Bunny
Grifiths pitched the last two inn
ings.
Bobby Martin took over the second
base chores, with Daddario moving
over to third. Bobby had a perfect
night at bat, getting three for three,
and he scored the Owls only run,
when after doubling to left in the
third, he came home on Bernie Je-
MIS- double to the same spot. He
was charged with one error (the
only Owls error in the game, by the
way).
With a lefthander pitching for
Trenton, Halvonic batted for Gene
Joselane in the seventh, but the
strategy didn't work as Halvonic
went down swinging.
Final score: Trenton, 11-13-1; Ha-
gerstown, 1-9-1.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Last year, through June 3, the
Owls had played 20 games and had
completed 20 double plays. This
year, through June 8, they have
played 81 games, but have only made
Is double plays.
Last year, through June 8, 10
games had been rained out. This
year, through June 3, nine have been
postponed.
If you think we've had plenty of
rain this spring, listen to this. Last
year we had games rained out at
Harrisburg on May 4, at Hagerstown
on May 7 and IS, at Lancaster May 16
and II, at Wilmington May 10, at
Trenton May 81, and at Lancaster
a single game on June l and doub-
le-header on June 2.
The in-and-out sort of baseball
that the Owls are playing right now
is not confined to the Hagerstown
Club, or for that matter to the
Interstate League. All over the
country, in both the major and min
or leagues, there has been more bad
baseball than / can remember for
a long time, and a glance at the
various standings will bear me out.
Pitchers like Teller and Newhous-
er are having plenty of trouble in
getting started; the Boston Red SoX,
figured to be a pushover for the
pennant this year, are struggling
along on the brink of the second
division, just half game ahead of
the Athletics as this is written; the
Cards are still in the cellar in the
National League; Wilmington in our
own league is houndering around
just like we are, and so on all along
the line.
Maybe by another month the
leagues will have levelled off, but
right now there isn't single stand
out club in any league, so don't give
up on the Owls yet, or on your
favorite club in any other league

Blue Ridge League

To settle a terrific argument that
has been raging for days at Bud
Moore's barber shop, regarding
when the Blue Ridge League folded
up, here are the facts.
Hagerstown won the pennant in
the Blue Ridge League in 1929 and
then played a post season series
with Charleroi, with Charleroi,
Whining Al. Hagerstown also start
ed the 1880 season with the Blue
Ridge, but pulled out before the
season ended and switched over to
the Atlantic League.
It would seem therefore, that the
Blue Ridge League went out of ex-
istence in 1880 If you disagree
with me, let's hear from you.
