Bill Gliler in the seventh. Red
Baden, no relation to Big Ed, was
again the big man at bat for Sill
yer Spring and collected four for
five. Pokey Maykrantz, center
fielder, did likewise and Waters,
left fielder, got three for four to
contribute to the II hit total run
up by Silver Spring in the slaugh-
ter. Powell and Farmer hurled for
Sandy Spring. The Quakers made
two errors while Silver Spring
made three. By virtue of this VIC
tory Silver Spring is right on the
heels of Colesville and is locked in
tie with Potomac for second
place. Ed Bladen has served notice
on Joe Gibson that he intends to
beat Colesville next Sunday and
thereby throw first place into a
three way tie.
At Welsh Field Rockville came
from behind with a dramatic fin
ish to beat the hapless Cissel Sax
on team to 4. Each team made
eleven hits and one error while
Jack Freeberger, Rockville MAIN
stay, gained credit for the victory
! over Butler. Crown and Coleman
caught for Rockville while Wur-
derman was the receiver for the
Saxonmen. After Frank Ogg sent
a tremendous home run over War
fields old barn beyond the right
field embankment in the third for
Rockville, it was Fincham who put
the Saxonmen out in front with Il
two run homer in the seventh.
Then Charley Acquillna unloaded
with a homer to tie up the con-
test in the eighth and collected a
dollar from the kind hearted lady
who pays buck for all Rockville
home runs. In the bottom half of
the final stanza, the very reliable
Patchy Coleman effected maneu-
yer he has perfected during the
past twenty years of competition.
He singled, stole second, was sac
rificed to third and came home
with the ball game ON Mizell's
sacrifice fly to left center.
Bethesda and Morningside bat
tied to a no-decision, 10 inning, IL
to II deadlock that was finally
called on account of darkness.
Charlie Pugh and Bort chucked
ball for Bethesda until they could
MT see the plate, while Harry Her
bert and his old man, Bill Herbert
did likewise for the Laundrymen.
Barnes for Bethesda and IeNeck
for Morningside were the receivers
in this futile affair. As result
Bethesda and Morningside each
have the same three wins and
three losses that they had before
the game started. If they should
desire to play-off the game they
will probably have to do so on a
Saturday in order to beat the sea-
son to a close. Otherwise, they
will lose an opportunity to gain
victory that might establish them
further up in the league standings.
If each of these teams are de-
feated in their next two games
they may well decide to forego
any idea of further play as an I'M
necessary operation.
The Gaithersburg A. C. playing
on their home field took Green
belts measure 8 to 6 behind the
usually effective pitching of Dom
aid Cubitt who set the Greenbelt-
ers down with seven well scattered
hits. In game in which the lead
changed hands four times, the
Gaithersburg boys proved too
much for Harry Crouthamel to
handle. The fact that Harry was
leading twirler for the Heinrich
Brewers who went so far in the
National Baseball tournament at
Harrisburg, was of no particular
consequence to the Gaithersburg
lads who flattened out some of
Mr.. Crouthamel's fat pitches like
a country buckwheat cake and
sent them spinning through the
air like flying saucers. If Cal
thersburg makes good on their
threat to beat Bethesda and Morn
ingside in their next two games,
they may yet wind up in the cham
pionship play-off which is sched-
uled as a four-way affair among
the two top teams in each half
of the schedule.
