ton, d. c. One other major factor
is that Joe Gibson runs his club as
a heads-up outfit that is seldom
out-smarted.
In dropping this game Ed Bla-
denis new ace, John Norris, gave
indication that he will be tough to
beat in the run for the place posi-
ton. Norris, who is 26 years old
and stands six fe.at-two, weighs in
at around 210 pounds. He has seen
a lot of baseball with such teams
as Evansville in the ThreesEye
League, Utica in the Eastern
League, Lancaster in the Inter-
State League, Radford in the Pony
League, and Danville in the Caro-
lima League, to mention few. This
year he won 10 and lost in organ
lied class Cd" ball. AS a result,
Mule Norris represents Ed Bla-
den's current insurance policy
against finishing below second
place.
Elsewhere in the circuit, Rock
ville's youthful sensation, Jack
Freeberger, beat Greenbelt 4 to 1
at Greenbelt where Harry Crout-
hanrsl suffered the loss. Freeberger
allowed but five hits and retired 16
men in order from the third until
an error in the ninth broke the
string, robbed him of shutout,
and permitted Greenbeit to score
their lone run as an unearnad
marker. Larry Schneider and Jerry
Zamylotta were the big men at bat
collecting two hits each to make
more than half of Roclville's seven
hit total. Schneider dashed out a
powerful triple which would have
gone for homer in any park other
than Greenbelt's. Rockville's four
runs, all of which came in the
fourth, were driven in by Bean,
OEg and Coleman. Meanwhile,
Freeberger's knuckler was per-
forming miracles which kept the
Greenbelt batters fiabbergasted and
handcuffed at the plate. During the
course of the contest co-manag'er
Joe Hutchinson retired from the
arena at the umpire's request. This
left Sammy Keys to brafntrust the
Rockville team home under the
wire. 4
At Morningsids ancient Bill Her.
bert made good on a threat and set
the Potomac A. C. down with A
runs and 8 hits, while the Laundry
men ran up runs and coasted
home behind harrage of 16 safe,
base knocks. Each team made three
errors and although Potomac
missed the support of Dijohn and
Reds Mile, their keystone combi-
nation, it was the apparent inabil-
ity of Jack Lyons and Ray Briden-
hacker to stem the tide of Morning
side hits that accounted for Her
bert's outstanding victory. Morn
ingside made five runs and IL hits
off Lyons and 8 runs and a hits off
Bfidenbaclcer who worked the last
three innings. - +" - ''@
Gaithersburg invaded Bethesda
where Charley Pugh lost to Donald
Cubitt as Bethesda cracked up de-
fehsively with total of six errors
and permitted Gaithersburg to win
a walk by a score of 7 to 4. While
Bethesda made ten hits and the
Gaithersburgers collected only g,
the Gaithersburg team was superb
in the field and registered but one
error. Here again was a demon
stration Of how important good
fielding figures in the pay-of'.
Cissel Saxon scored their first
victory of the second half and
third of the season when they beat
Sandy Spring to 2. Showing that
never say die spirit behind the 9
lit pitching Of Butler, the Saxon
zen gave the old college try and
Jumped on Peters Of Sandy Spring
or 9 hits and the ball game. The
fielding gem of the day was turned
n by AL Schrider, Cissel Saxon
'enterhelder, who made a sensa-
tional shoe-string catch in the
eight to snuff out Sandy Spring
ally and insure victory for the
Saxonmen. Sandy Spring made
three errors while Cissel Saxon
made only two to out-shine their
opponents in every department.
Next Sunday September 28th,

Rockville in the feature game
which should settle in part the ar
