(Tuesday, May 81

(Tuesday, May 27)
Although Trenton got nine hits
off the offerings of Gene Joselane
On Tuesday night, he kept them
fairly well scattered, with the re-
suit that backed up by some poppy
fielding, Trenton was held to three
runs.
The Owls were only able to collect
seven hits off the combined offer
ings of Van Glider, who started for
Trenton, and was knocked out of
the box in the third, and Prick, who
took over from there, but the boys
connected when hits meant runs for
a change, with the result that ten
runs crossed the plate to give Jose
lane his first win of the season. The
Giants should be credited with quite
a few assists" since their five big
errors were quite help.
The Owls got eight of their runs
in clusters of two. Gene Crumling
started things off in the second
frame when his single to left drove
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1947-05-29

in Williams and Daddario. He
came right back in the third to
drive in two more, when his second
single to the same spot drove in
the same two base runners who had
scored in the second frame. Then
Joselane came up next and smacked
two-bagger, also to left, to
score Lance and Crumling.
The fourth brace of runs came in
the very next inning, when, with
Jenis on first, Humphrey poled one
high over the rightfield wall
The ninth marker came in the
fifth when a hit batsman, a wild
pitch, a sacrifice and a couple of
Trenton errors, got a run across
without the benefit of a hit.
The tenth and final run also came
home without hit. Lance and
Crumling both drew walks jose
lane then grounded to short, but
all hands were safe when Jennings
booted the ball. Halvonic then
flied out to right, with Lane scoring
easily after the catch.
Final Score: Hagerstown, 1912;
Trenton. 3-7-5.

TRENTON HERE
monday, May 26)

The Owls made it two straight
over the Trenton Giants on Monday
night, behind the steady pitching of
Bill Stratton and a barrage of IL
hits by Hagerstown off the offerings
of Almonte and Hrabcsek, who toll
ed for Trenton.
Trenton took a one-run lead in the
first half of the third on a double
and a single, but the Owls came
right back in their half to score a
pair, aided by couple of lucky
breaks. After Stratton had struck
out, Halvonic lifted long high one
into left field that Niezoda lost in
the lights, and it dropped safe, good
for two bases. Jenis then singled
Halvonic home, for the Owls first
run. Then Yeash caught hold of
one and sent it high into center field
and this time Bamberger lost the
ball in the lights and Yeash got
credit for two-bagger, scoring Je-
mis-.
With that one-run lead to work
on, Stratton held the Giants score
less for the next five frames. But
in the meantime the Owls were
picking up six more runs. They got
two of them in the fifth when Bernie
Jenis got his second hit-a four-bag-
ger over the right field wall-that
also scored Bill Stratton, who had
opened the inning with a single
Their last four runs came in a
wild and woody seventh inning, fea-
tured by perfect steal home by the
rookie shortstop, Jack Lance, Jenis'
third hit and a couple of costly err
rors by Trenton-as a matter of fact,
only one of those last four runs got
into the RBI column.
Stratton eased up bit in the
ninth, when a double, two singles
and an error gave the Giants two
more runs.
Final Score: Hagerstown, 8-12-1;
Trenton, 1913.

First Game

Trenton, coming in for four
game series, had no trouble winning
the first game on Sunday afternoon,
when Andy Tomasic set the Owls
down with four hits: A single by
Jenis in the first, who scored while
Humphrey was being thrown out; a
home run by Daddario over the
center field wall, which gave the
Owls their second run; a triple by
Humphrey in the seventh, who
scored Hagerstown's third and last
run when Daddrio doubled to cen
ter for his second hit of the game.
On the other side of the ledger,
the Giants nicked Boots Poffen-
berger for 10 hits, including two
doubles and a home run, which, to-
gether with some pretty sloppy
fielding, produced eight runs.
Final score: Trenton, 800; Ha-
gerstown, 3-4-2.
Second Game
The Owls broke their six-game
losing streak in the seven-innings
night cap, when tight pitching by
Eddie OWcar and a couple of fielding
gems by Lance and Halvonic, gave
Hagerstown a 10 victory. Both
pitchers pitched six-hit ball (Roger
Bowman was on the mound for
Trenton) and the only run of the
game came in the Owls half of the
second inning Here's how it hap
pened:
Williams was up first and singled
to center. Daddario sacrificed him
to second and he went to third on
a passed ball. Lance grounded to
short, Williams holding on at third,
but Gene Crumling sent him home
with what proved to be the winning
run, with a clean single to center
Owcar struck out to end the inning.
Jennings singled to deep short to
start Trenton's half of the seventh
inning and Maiseck sacrificed him to
second. Swedler, the Giants catch
er, then hit one deep to Lance at
short, but Jack came up with it and
whipped it to Jenis for the out 1t
was a fine play and the crowd gave
the lad big hand. Juliano batted
for Bowman and smacked one down
the third base foul line that looked
like a certain hit But Halvonic
shared it right behind the bag on
the edge of the grass and threw a
perfect strike to Jenis at frst-and
Jenis, who in my book is the best
first baseman in the league, stretched
out like a rubber doll to take the
throw, which beat the runner by an
eyelash, retiring the side and giving

Americas outstanding auto racing
classic, the famed indianapolis 500
Mile race, will be broadcast again
this year exclusively over WEI
and the Mutual Broadcasting Sys-
tenn.
The Indianapolis track is surfaced
by 100000 paving bricks and is
oval shaped for a distance of 21a
miles. Each driver must complete
200 circuits in order to finish the
grueling 500 mile grind.
First run in 1911 as a 500 mile
race, the raoGrd books show that
elapsed time covered almost six and
three quarter hours. Remarkable
for the time, but slow compared to
the 1916 mark of approximately
four hours and twenty minutes.
WEI will broadcast the start of
the race at 11:45 with further pick
ups as the race progresses at lis
p. m. and 800 p. m, with the final
drive down the stretch being broad

extended to all high school baseball
teams in the county.

With Owcar, Stratton and Jose
lane not only going the route, but
also winning their games, and with
the boys finally clouting the apple
when hits mean runs, maybe those
Owls are going places at last.
Here's hoping so anyway.
Their real test will be their cur
rent series with York, which
was scheduled to start at the Sta
dunn last night, and will continue
through tomorrow night York is
plenty hot, right now, but if the
Owls keep hustling like they did in
the Trenton series, and the rest Of
the pitching staff takes a leaf out of
the book of Owcar, Stratton and
Joselane, then we can take the York
series too-and be on the way to
the first division.
The team goes on the road on
Saturday, returning home on June
for a three game-series with Will
mington.
They're having quite battle in
the County Independent Baseball
League - with Sharpsburg being
particularly hot right now
The various teams in the newly
formed Junior League are busy
practicing in anticipation of the
opening, which will get under way
next month. The sponsoring insti-
tutions are taking a real interest in
the league and the youngsters are
not only going to have lots of fun,
but they are also going to learn
plenty about the grand old game
Here's wishing them lots of luck
and may the best team win.
The American Legion Junior team
is also working hard and the
boys have already shown that Hag-
erstown is going to have a real team
and will put up quite a battle in
the Legion tournament.
