scored Greenbelt's lone tally on
Crouthamels sacrifice fly to left
field. At the same time Jimmy
Schwab made two hits for Potomac
in keeping with his customary
Sunday performance at the plate
but when all was said and done it
was Buster Days day in Potomac.
Not only did Buster deliver the
pay-off punch but he spiked po-
tential Greenbelt rally in the sixth
with the feature play of the day
afield when he ran to his left to
dig well tagged hopper out of the
dirt and retire the runner on an
excellent heave to Joe Vekenti.
Along with Silver Spring, Potomac
is now resting on top of the heap
in the second half of the current.
race.
While the Potomac crowd was
well entertained by an excellent
brand of ball, Bladen's Meadow at
Silver Spring was the scene of an
other exciting contest that now has
the League officials in a mild state
of turmoil. For here it was that
Cissel Saxon saw a to 0 lead dis
sipated to the point that in the
sixth inning Silver Spring went
ahead with splurge of four runs.
Then in the seventh inning with
Silver Spring leading a to 3 an ar

cision made by umpire S. L. john
son of the District of Columbia
Umpire's Association. AS opinions
were being exchanged somewhat
freely, Umpire johnson reached
another decision by directing that
Ed Schroeder, Cissell Saxon pitcher
who was not participating in the
game, skeedo and skeedaddle out
of the ball park in two minutes
fiat. When this ultimatum was not
strictly observed Johnson called
the contest and awarded the game
to Silver Spring at that point. The
elder Schneider, Eds father who
manages the team, lost no time in
lodging an official protest with
League President Bill MARROW who
has called meeting of League Of
ficials to rule on the matter. The
protest is based on the grounds
that Schneider did not disobey the
umpire's decision to leave the park
but had returned to the stands,
well off of the playing field, to get
his automobile keys from a friend
in order to drive away from the
park in his coupe. In the event the
protest is upheld by the League it
will necessitate a re-play of this
game. In the meantime the results
are in the record books as a to 3
victory for Silver Spring and an
other credit to the winning pitch
ing of Bill Giller, Silver Spring
ace.
A ten inning contest at Sandy

Farmer pitching and Bonifant re-
