relieved Wigle and retired the side
without any futher damage. The
Owls had a chance to tie the score
again in the ninth but couldn't
make it. Bunny Griffiths, the first
man up, grounded to Wilson at
short, who let the ball go through
him for an error. Martin sacrificed
Bunny to second, but that was as
far as he got, as Swanson flied out
to left and Daddario, hitting for
Bumstead, flied out to deep right,
Burgess making the catch right up
against the wall to end the game.

Highlights OF Game

The Owls jumped out with two
run lead in the first frame after two
were out, when Dresser singled and
Humphrey drove one over the right
field wall Their third and final
run came in the third Hest singled
to center, but was forced at second
by Jenis. Dresser then grounded to
Boniface, who made a bad throw to
first. Dresser, however, rounded
first and Hecklinger making a quick
recovery of a bad throw put the
ball on Dresser and he was out
Jenis however, went to third on the
error. Humphrey then got his sec
ond straight hit, double to left,
scoring Jenis. Yeash was up next
and he hit a hard liner through the
box, which Gosselin got his glove
on and DETECTED to Wilson at short,
who threw to Hecklinger at first in
time to retire Yeash.
In the fourth frame the Owls got
three straight hits with nobody out,
but couldn't score. Manager Bun
ny Griffiths, who was playing short
in place of George Daddario, opened
the inning with a long single to cen
ter Martin followed with a single
to left, with Griffiths stopping at
second. Swanson also singled to
left, with Bunny stopping at third,
filling the bases. Wigle then struck
out and Heist hit into a double play.
Allentown showed a run across in
the fifth when Dick Gosselin, the
pitcher, who was the first man up,
lifted one high over the left-feld
wall. Boniface followed with a sin
gle, but Wigle retired the next three
batters in order.
The Cards tied the score in the
sixth, the break in their favor COM
ing on very close decision at first
after two were out. Edwards
grounded to Griffiths who whipped
the ball over to Jenis at first and
umpire Williams called him safe.
The play was so close that the West
ern Union operator, in sending his
report to WEI for their broadcast
of the game, started sending the
totals for the inning. Kubicek then
doubled to left and Edwards scored
all the way from first. Gosselin
then got his second straight hit, a
single to left, scoring Kubicek with
the tying run.
The Cards won the game in the
eight when Frank Hecklinger the
first man up, slammed one over the
center-field wall. Bumstead then

for the third out.
The Owls, fighting back, went
ahead again in the eighth. Bunny
Griffiths, the first man up, walked,
Martin flied out to right, but Gene
Crumling caught hold of one and
drove it over that leftfield wall,
scoring behind Griffiths. Eddie

drew a walk and Charlie Miller
went in to run for him. Hest up
next and he tripled to left, scoring
Miller with the run that put the
Owls ahead, to 6. Jenis then went
out third to first, with Heist
holding on at third. Dresser flied
to Kirk in right for the third out
Eddie Bumstead went to the
mound in the eighth and held the
Red Roses scoreless in the last two
innings He gave up walk and a
single in the eighth, but retired the
side in order in the all-important
ninth. Stratton was the winning
pitcher and Lee Griffiths was the

Interesting Figures

Paul Macy, one of the best bowling
statisticians 1 have ever met, is also
real baseball fan and a strong
supporter of the Owls. Being held
indoors by the rain on Sunday, he
started fooling around with some
baseball statistics-the result-some
interesting figures concerning the
1916 edition of the Hagerstown Owls.

I'm sure you'll not only enjoy it,
but will also be amazed at what he
has dug up from the 1916 baseball
statistics.

A Good Decision

A Good Decision
The decision of president Prick,
of the National League, that Sun
days second game between the
Brooklyn Dodgers and the Phila-
delphis Phillies, called at the end of
six and half innings, with the bod
gers ahead to 4, because of Phila-
delphia's Sunday curfew law, shall
be considered as an unfinished game
and played out the next time Brook
Ign goes to Philadelphia, with the
Phillies at bat in the bottom half of
the seventh was the only decent de
cision that could be made Here's
what happened:
With the game tied "A, Brooklyn
came to bat in the top half of the
seventh and pushed over a run to go
ahead 5 to 4, with two out. When
the run scored there was about ten
minutes of playing time remaining,
since Sunday games in Philadelphia
must end at $50 pm. Realizing
that if they didn't get to bat the
score would revert back to the end
of the sixth inning and become a tie
game, the Phillies put on the most
bareface stalling act ever seen in a
ball park. The first batter up after
the run scored was intentionally
walked, with every pitch being slow
and deliberate The Brooklyn bat
ter stepped out of the box and tried
to hit each pitch, but the umpire
ruled that strikes outside the bat
tiers box were illegal and allowed
the walk Then the two Brooklyn
runners on base started a double
stealth slow motion literally
begging to be thrown out, but the
Phillies catcher completely ignored
them. Finally, the runner on third
bas estarted trotting to home and
the catcher finally had to tag him
out.
The umpires tried to get the
Phillies to bat in their half, but
Walker, the first man up, hadn't
even come in from his position in
centerfield when the Brooklyn pit
cher had completed his abbreviated
warmup losses, and though he did
finally drag himself to the plate,
the umpire called the game, as re-
quired by law.
On Monday, president Fricz, after
receiving the umpire's report, ruled
that the game be continued at the
bottom half of the seventh, with
Brooklyn ahead 5 to 4, and in an
nouncing his ruling he stated that
the whole sorry business was a far
cial exhibition and a disgrace to
organized baseball.

Short Fruit Crop This Year

Maryland's 1947 fruit crop will
range between 80 and IS per cent of
its normal size as a result of the
heavy frost in May, A. F. Vier-
heller, extension horticulturist at
the University of Maryland, has
predicted. Apples, peaches and
pears will be far below last years
yield, with grapes the closest to a
normal production, Vierheller said.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Two white
brothers, one a soldier on leave,
were arrested by the FBI last
week and charged with beating
Golden Lamar Howard, 10, who
refused TO tell what his testi-
mony was before the Federal
Grand Jury investigating the
Walton County lynching. Dist.
Attorney James C.. Cowat said
Howard identified the brothers
after the beating. They were
Tom Werner, 26, and Bradley
Werner SO. The Verners waived
preliminary hearing and were re-
leased on $4,000 bonds. The
brothers, both residents of Wal
ton, were picked up by FBI
agents at Crates, Ga. The agents
said a .38-caliber revolver and a
German Luger were found in
James Verner's room, another
relative The Grand Jury before
which Howard testified reported
December 10Th that it was unable
to identify any member of the
mob which shot to death four
colored citizens last July.
