According to Ingrin's story
an argument started outside the

Considered Insult
Ingrin apparently considered
this an insult. He said he went
up to the couple to speak tc

was struck. They went into the

thinking Gearhart was about to
hit him again, he struck him
first and knocked him down.
He admitted kicking the fall

said there were several heel
marks on Gearhart's face.
But witnesses, whom the
Army did not identify, told a
different story. They said Gear.

hotel and Ingrin walked up and
and asked his nationality
When Gearhart said he was an
American, according to these
witnesses, the Russian knocked
him down and kicked him about
the body and head until he was

two other American soldiers ar

Rockville Captures Second Place
PIoy-OH To Decide Prize Money

While the World Series, college
and professional football attracted
nationwide attention, the Rockville
ball club struck twice with death
telling blows in a quick-kill elimi-
nation tournament at Rockville's
Welsh Field on Sunday, October
9Th, and slipped successive mickeys
to Silver Spring and Greenbelt to
win undisputed possession of sec
ond place in the first half stand
ings of the ten team Montgomery
County Baseball League.
In the first game of this double
header involving three different
teams, Rockville collected 13 hits
off of Mieklejohn while the depend
able Jack Freeberger scattered 0
hits to receive credit for the 7 to s
victory over Silver Spring.
In the first inning Charley Ac-
quilina sent Rockville to the front
with homer over the left field
fence which produced three-run
lead from which the Sammy Keys
Joe Hutchins aggregation was new
er headed. To hold this lead, how
ever, required a tremendous blow
out of the park and across Monroe
street by Jerry Zamylotta in the
ninth to bring in two more runs
and the final margin of victory.
This swat by Jerry proved it's i'm
portance when Ed Bladen's men
refused to quit in the bottom half
Of the ninth as big Stan Holtz
made last ditch stand with a CO.
lossal three-run homer beyond the
right field embankment to continue
his custom of always getting one
homer per game at Welsh Field.
In the seven-inning nightcap
which followed, Boots PAMELA
struck out twelve and gave up but
two hits in pitching Rockville to a
to l win over GIeenbelt. Harry
Crouthamel, Greenbelt's player
manager, struck out seven includ-
ing four in the first two innings
but became ineffective as the game
wore on and gave up a total Of
eight hits. Six of these came in the
fourth and fifth innings when
Rockville scored two and three runs
respectively. PAMELA, a sophomore
at Maryland, pitched the Univer-
sity to win in the only game Yale
lost last spring. His outstanding
performance at Rockville convinced
those present that he is certainly
no fluke. In fact, the opposing
pitcher, Harry Crouthamel, is Pa
nella's baseball coach at Maryland

First Half
Second Half

by gaming a lock on second
place IN the first half, Rockville has
elected to forfeit its opportunity to
enter any play-off arrangements to
further resolve the tie for second
place in the second half and left it
to Potomac and Gaithersburg to
fight it out between themselves.
This decision has established the
top four teams from among the
leaders of both halves as Colesville,
Rockville, Gaitkersburg and Po-
tomac.
At a meeting held on Monday,
October 9Th, League President Bill
NARROW and the managers of the
"Big-Four" agreed to play-off ar
rangements for first and second
place prize money by a series of
games to be played as follows:
At 2;30 P. M. on Sunday, Octo-
Der 18th, Rockville's Welsh Field
will be the scene of a stirring bat
tie, between Colesville and Rock
vile. At the same time and on the
same day Gaithersburg will enter
tain Potomac on the Gaithersburg
High School diamond. The follow
ing Sunday, October 10Th, the win
ners of these two games will play
at Welsh Field for the title and the
first and second place prize money.
In case of inclement weather the
title game will be played on
Thanksgiving, Christmas or New
Years Day. Admission charge for
these games will be fifty cents in
Guiding tax.

mont League where he won eight
and lost six before coming to Coles
vile at the close of the season.
Rockville will counter with one of
their 10 year old hopefuls in the
person OF either Jack Freeberger
or Boots PAMELA.
At Gaithersburg it will be Don
aid Cubitt on the mound and seek
ing his second straight win over
Potomac. Ed Hahn of Potomac will
probably start anyone of several
pitchers but current indications are
that Arson Ball. 18 year old local
product and hometown hero, will
get the assignment.
