third double of the inning.
Hagerstown picked up run in
the third, when, with two out, Bob

and Bernie Jenis sent him home
with double to center.
They added their second run in
the fourth Humphrey up first,

to Shoff. Dresser singled to right,
sending Humphrey to third. Williams
then flied to center and Humphrey
scored after the catch when Sheehan
dropped Boards perfect throw to the
plate.
York went ahead 4 to. 2 in the
sixth. With one away, Feraco laid
down bunt and beat it out for a
hit. Sheehan popped to Jenis for
the second out. Then, with Peden at
bat, Feraco broke for second with
the pitch and Daddario left his po-
sition to cover second, just as Peden
smacked one right over the spot
George had just vacated, and Fera-
co went to third. Owcar then threw
wild to first trying to pick off Peden
and Feraco scored on the error.
From then on it was no contest.
York scored another in the seventh,
two more in the eighth and three
more in the ninth, while the best
Hagerstown could do was score one
run in the eighth, when Jenis open
ed the inning with triple to center
and scored when Peden let Yeash's
grounder go through for an error.

year. The fun started when Dad

plate in the fourth inning. Umpire
Rod Shomo, making his first appear
ance in Hagerstown, had no sooner
called Daddario safe than he was
charged by the whole York infield,
with catcher Haddiean and pitcher
Smith in the vanguard, closely fol-
lowed by the York manager. Sho-
mo, however, stood his ground and
handled the situation perfectly, not
even bothering to call on base UNI

ly put Smith and Haddican out of
the game, then when Cardey, a York
pitcher who had been coaching at
first, got too hot under the collar, he
was ordered out too. Then to add
to the excitement, two York fans,
down for the game, got into pri
vate argument of their own and
started swinging fists at each other.
AS one fan put it, ''it was like a
three-ring circus, with something
going on every minute"
But to get back to the game.
Miller shut York out in the first
three innings, on one hit, single TO

The Owls went down one. two

Williams went out short to first.

The Hagerstown Junior Baseball
League Booster Night at the Sta
dunn on Monday night, opened with
game between the Fairchild Pack
cts and the Rotary Club Nine, with
the Packets winning 20 to 6.
The members of the eight clubs
in the league were the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Oren Sterling and they
made fine showing in their snappy
uniforms.
The game between Rotary and the
Packets produced some amazingly
fine baseball. There was one hit to
the wall in centerfield that the Owls
could have used nicely in their game
with York, and the youngsters came
up with some real fielding plays
that drew plenty of applause from
the more than five hundred fans
who were in the stadium when the
game got under way at 5:45.
While the Rotary Club boys were
much smaller than the Packets team,
they put up a real fight. I got a big
kick out of their pitcher, Miller, who
although only knee high to a grass
hopper" kept pouring that ball over
the plate like veteran. And need
less to say I was completely sold

Dwyer for the third out
The see-saw scoring continued in
the fifth frame, when the White
Roses tied it up again. With one
out Menarchek singled to center,
went to second when Kovalac got a
base on balls and after Dwyer had
flied out to Williams, scored on
Boards single to center. But back
came those Owls in their hall. to
again go out in front.
Miller was up first and got his
second straight hit, single to left.
Martin sacrificed him along and af-
ter Jenis went out second to first, he
scored on Yeash's double to center.
Back came York in the sixth to
make it 3-3 when Sichko, the first
man up, smacked one over the cen
terfield wall
That was all the scoring until the
ninth, when York got the final run
of the game. After Haddican had
flied out to Williams, Menarchek
grounded to Martin, who let the ball
get away from him and Menarchik
went to second on the error. Kova-
lax then singled to left, Menarchik
stopping at third, but he scored a
moment later when Dwyer flied to
right and he came on home after the
catch.
The Owls lost a chance to tie the
score in their half of the ninth.
Swanson opened with a single to
left. Owcar batted for Miller and
on an attempted sacrifice popped to
Menarchek, who then threw wild
to first trying to double Swanson,
who went to second on the error.
Martin then drew a base on balls
and with Jenis at bat, pitch got
away from Sheehan, but Swanson
made no attempt fer third. The ball
didn't get very far away from Shcc-
han, but it was my guess that a FAST
man like Swanson could have made
third Jenis then hit into a double
play to end the game.
Summary: York, 4~9-1; Hagers-
town, 3-10-1.

on the job Noel Spense did behind
the plate, since he is member of
my old Scout Troop.
The Packets played heads up base
ball, taking advantage of every
break, and on the nights play, were
just too good for the Rotary Nine.
But in my book, it doesn't matter so
much which team wins although
those youngsters have a fine com
petitive spirit and every boy on the
eight teams is as jealous of his base
knocks, strike outs, stolen bases, etc.,
as any professional ball player. The
grand thing about this league is the
fact that bunch of kids are having
a good time, getting healthy recrea-
ton and exercise, but above all,
learning the value of clean COMPETE
ton and clean living.
The sponsors of the eight clubs de-
serve the thanks of every member
of the community.

The Soan Box Derby

The success of the Soap Box Der
by on Monday, July 9, and make no
mistake about it, it is going to be
real success in every sense. of the
word, will, in large measure, be
due to the work of Frank Colley,
sports editor of the Morning Her
aid.
Frank literally lives with that big
day in the lives of the youngsters
of Hagerstown and the County,
every minute that he is awake-and
/ wouldn't be a bit surprised if he
dreams about it too. Every spare
minute he has got, he is either out
arranging for pictures of some of the
entrants; digging up information on
the latest entries, helping the boys
find out where they can obtain this
or that, needed in the building of
their racing cars; or answering the
million and one questions that kids
will ask.
Franks Soap Box Derby tie is a
thing of joy to behold and he is
never tired of showing it to anyone
that comes along. Frank has big
enough job on his hands being sports
editor of the Herald and official
scorer for The Owls, but that doesn't
prevent him doing a bang-up job
on the Soap Box Derby
The big event takes place at 1870
p. m. on Wednesday, July 9, with
the race starting at the Y.M.CA. and
finishing at the Public Square. AS
this is written, "a boys have entered
cars in the race-31 from Hagers-

in the national championship, with
all expenses being paid by the local
