LANCASTER HERE
(Tuesday, June I'D

Bunny Grifiths sent Poffenberger
to the mound in the second game
with Lancaster on Tuesday night,
but it was soon apparent that Boots
didn't have his stuff and he was
knocked out of the box in the third
frame, being relieved by Bumstead,
who stayed in there until he was
lifted for a pinch hitter in the sew
enth. Schultz came on in the eighth
and pitched the last two innings.
The Red Roses collected a total
of eleven hits to win 6 to 8, and
they would have had several more
runs had it not been for four double
plays, three of them started by third
baseman Dresser.
Poffenberger started off by walk
ing the first three men to face him
in the first inning. Novick then
forced Mccarthy at second, with
McQuillen scoring, but English hit
into double play to end the inning.
In Hagerstown's half of the first,
with Zeb Wicker pitching for the
Red Roses - and he struck out
eleven men during the game-Bob-
bic Martin opened with a double to
left and Jenis followed with
double to right, scoring Martin with
the tying run. Then Yeash struck
out, Humphrey flied to left and Dick
Williams took a third called strike.
There were no scores in the sec
ond frame, but Lancaster added
three more in the third.
McQuillen opened with triple
to right and Mulvey sent him home
with double~to center. Mccarthy
grounded out, short to first, for the
first out, with Mulvey holding up
at second. Novick then beat out a
hit to second base, with Mulvey
going to third. English was up next
and he drove both runs in with a
double to left and that was enough
for Poffenberger, Bumstead going
to the mound. George Armstrong,
the Lancaster catcher, was the first
man to face him and he forced
English at third, after which Usciak
popped to Daddario to end the inn
ing.
The Red Roses scored their final
two runs in the fourth and fifth

one bad inning lost the game for
the Owls, 3 to 2.
Gene got by the first two innings
alright, but he started the third by
walking Sollenberger, the pitcher.
Verdi promptly sacrificed him to
second and Pajonos, up next, singled
to short left, with Sollenberger
stopping at third. He got rid of
Browning on a fly to short center
not far behind second base - that
Dick Williams took care of, and
Sollenberger had no chance to score.
Then, with Filipowicz at bat, jose
lane fed him a perfect home run
ball-those that saw the game tell
me that Filipowicz had just fouled
one exactly like it, that missed be-
ing a fair ball by inches - and it
went sailing out of the ball park
and three big runs were across the
plate.
Gene settled down after that,
pitching to only ten batters in the
last three innings, but the damage
was done.
The Owls got their two runs in
the fifth.
After Daddario had grounded out
to Pajonas at second, Dresser got a
single to right. Swanson, who
caught the second game, was called
out on strikes for the second out,
but Joselane got his second hit, a
single to right, sending Dresser to
second. Bobbie Martin was up next
and he doubled to center, scoring
Dresser and Joselane, but Jenis
grounded out to end the inning.
Elmer Swanson put up a terrific
squawk when umpire Sauve called
the third strike on him and was
elected from the game But that
was only the beginning as Sauve
also ordered every Owl player off
the bench who was not in the ball
game. AS a result, when the Owls
took the field, in the fifth with
Crumling catching), the only Hag
erstown player on the bench was
manager Bunny" Grifiths. Cor

throw to third. Dick Dresser then
came up with his third hit, single
to left, scoring Humphrey. Swanson
made the second out when he flied
to center, with Daddario crossing the
plate after the catch, with the fifth
run of the inning. Owcar then
popped to short for out number
three.
Run number eleven came in the
seventh, when Jenis and Yeash
singled in succession and Jenis scor-
ed while Humphrey was grounding
out, short to first.
The final two runs came in the
eighth, with manager Charlie Eng
lish pitching. Daddario walked.
Dresser then singled to center for
his fourth hit, Daddario stopping at
second. Swanson also singled to cen
ter, filling the bases. English then
walked Owcar, forcing in Daddario.
Martin flied out, with Dresser scor-
ing after the catch. Jenis then
forced Swanson at third and Yeash
tapped to English, who threw him
out at first.
The Red Roses got their pair of
runs in the third. Suder was UP first
and he singled to left. Cowick then
grounded to Daddario, who lobbed
the ball to Martin for an easy play
on Suder, but Bobbie muffed the
throw and all hands were safe on the
error. Hallbourg was up next and
he forced Suder at first on an at
tempted sacrifice, the play being Ow-
car to Dresser. Astbury then doub-
led to right, with Hallbourg
going to third scoring Cowick.
Mulvey flied to center, with Hall
bourg scoring after the catch. Nc
earthly then drew base on balls,
but Novick forced him at second for
the third out.
Eddie was in trouble again in the
fourth frame, when manager Eng
lish opened with single. Marlboro
pushed him around to third with a
double and Novick walked, to fill the
bases with none out. But that's
when Owcar really bore down. He
struck out Cowick and Hallbourg in
succession and then Astbury hoisted
one to Yeash in left, to end the inn
ing.

In the fourth, after Cowick had
popped to Martin, Zeb Wicker, the
Red Roses pitcher, doubled to cen
ter. McQuillen was hit by pitched
ball and then Mulvey singled to
right scoring Wicker.
In the fifth frame, after two were
out, Armstrong doubled to center
and Usciak drove him home with a
double to the same spot.
In the Owls half of the fourth
Yeash was the first man up and he
drew base on balls. Ken Hum
phrey then hit long high one, clear
out to the center field wall, near the
fiagpole, but Mulvey, off with the
crack of the bat, raced to the wall
and, with his back to the fence,
reached up and pulled it in. 1t was
by far the prettiest catch seen in
the Stadium this year.
The Owls got their second and
third runs in the fifth. Dresser was
up first and drew walk. Crumling
was up next and doubled to left,
with Dresser stopping at third.
Bumstead then grounded to English
at third, who booted the ball, with
Dresser scoring on the error and
Bumstead reaching first. Then with
Martin at bat, Armstrong let pitch
get aawy from him, with both run
ners advancing. Martin then fouled
out to the catcher. Jenis was up next
and he grounded to Cowick at short,
who threw him out, with Crumling
scoring the Owls final run of the
game.
Martin got his third hit, double
to left, in the eighth, and went to
third on a passed ball. Jenis, who
was up next, was called out on
strikes and terrific argument en-
sued on the third called strike. Bunny
Grifiths, being finally put out of
the game by plate umpire Severa.
Martin was then thrown out at the.
plate, when he tried to score on
Yeash's grounder to English at third.
There was another flare up in the
ninth, when Severa called a third
strike on Martin to end the game.
The crowd surged on to the infield,
but Severa was in the dugout and
after milling around for awhile,
they broke up and went home.

AT SUNBURY
Sunday, June 15)
First Game

In loosely played game, the high
spot of which was the best pitching
job turned in by Charlie Miller
since he beat Harrisburg two to one
on May II, the Owls won the first
game of Sundays double header at
Sunbury. Charlie shut out the
Yankees in the first five innings,
gave up two runs in the sixth and
another in the seventh, "a home run
by Matoh) after which he settled
right down again and pitched shut
out ball in the last two frames.
While the Owls made three errors
in the field, two fast double plays
Miller to Daddario to Jenis, and
Martin to Daddario to Jenis =
erased the damage.
Johnny Szajna started for Sun
bury, but he was no puzzle to the
Hagerstown batters, who pounded
him all over the lot, and four costly
errors by his infield added to his
troubles. Every Hagerstown batter,
except Yeash and Miller, got at
least one hit, with Gene Crumling
getting three for four and Dick
Dresser three for five. Jenis, Hum
phrey and Williams got two apiece.
The Owls got single runs in each
of the first five innings and then
knocked Szajna out of the box in
the eighth, when they scored three
more, two of which were charged to
Szajna. Komar finished out the
game, giving up only one hit-but
that hit scored the Owls eighth and
final run.

monday, June 16)
While Eddie OWcar was holding
the Lancaster Red Roses to six hits
and climaxing a fine pitching per-
Torrance by retiring the side in the
fourth inning without a run, after
loading the bases with none out, the
Owls, returning home, were making
merry with the offerings of Gus
Hallbourg, Fred Peeler and manager
Charlie English, who after playing
third base for seven innings, took
over the pitching chores in the 9th.
Every Owl batter, with the excep-
ton of Owcar, got at least one hit,
with third baseman Dick Dresser,
whom the home fans were seeing for
the first time, coming across with
four for five and driving in four
runs.
The first Hagerstown run came in
the second inning, when Dick Will
liams doubled to left, went to third
on Daddarios single to short right
field and scored on Dresser's single

bounced back onto the playing field.
Two more were scored in the

You will want a red-White- and
blue table for a Washington's Birth
day dinner party, as half the fun
OF giving a party on a holiday is
the decorations.
A white Irish linen tablecloth is
the perfect beginning for this
patriotic color scheme. Then you
can use blue pottery or blue band
ed white china and red flow
ers, carnations or gladiolas.
A really fine George Washing

arranging red roses around a thick
white candle (Which stands for the

like to pay tribute to the cherry
