Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1948-09-16

Doc Mannar's Potomac Brewers
virtually clinched the pennant and
prize money in the Montgomery
County Baseball League on Sun
Gay, September 18th, before some
700 frantic fans at McConihe
Field, by rocking Joe Gibson's
cnce mighty Colesville Cardinals
to / and driving Robert Brother
love to the showers, behind the
fve-hit pitching of Lefty Joe Wells
who remained in command all the
way. To clinch the title Potomac
has only to bump off Sandy Spring
when they meet next Sunday at
Potomac. Such a victory would
leave Colesvillc out in the cold even
though the Gibsonmen should win
alLof their remaining games.
In other league games Boots Pa
iiella pitched Rockville to a 6 to /
victory over Bethesda and thereby
clinched third place in the final
league standings for the Rockville
All Stars. Wheaton forfeited to
Sandy Spring and dropped out of
further league competition. In so
doing Wheaton automatically for
feited their remaining unplayed
games which resulted in Rockville
and Bethesda picking up one win
each on silver platter engraved
with the trademark, Community
Plate of Tomorrow" The Wheaton
wonders clinchcd last place in the
exchange.
AT Potomac the double-wiammie
commissioners Watkins and Ed
Inonston placed on Brother Love,
took effect in the first inning when
lead-off man Chester Ciomei dump
ed a cheap double in right which
Mike Godfrey just failed to reach.
With two away, Ralph Copper sim
gied Comei home with the first
run of the game.
In the fifth Pepco Barry con-
nected with a oduble and then,
with two out, Copper doubled Bar
ny home. Singles by Archie Via
and Red Bladen accounted for two
more runs. In the seventh Copper
led off with a single, was sacrificed
6long by Via and scored as Bladen
went out at third trying to stretch
his double to a triple. With two
ducks dead, Gene Taylor doubled
and at this point Manager Joseph
w. Gibson relieved Brother Love
of further toll. When Gibson walk
ed Joe Bickel, catcher Donald
Hobbs examined the ball several
seconds before waking up to find
that Bickel had walked all the way
to second base. Joe Wells followed
with a single to drive in the sixth

Following Mr.. Spaneps address, w.
o. Heinze, Vice President and Gen.
eral Manager of the company, gave
a detailed explanation of how con-
tinued cooperation between the

made it possible for Playtex fac
tory and Office employees to enjoy
the most progressive employee pro-

Heinze contrasted the fact that
over $4,000 employees in Flint,

ment laid off and deprived of their
earnings because of the heat wave;
whereas, completely air condition
ed Playtex Park provides comfort
able working weather during all

address by stating that one of the
most unique and important fea-
lures of this overall employee
benefit program was the opportun-
ity of all Playtex employees to
share in the company's profits and
that. for the twelfth time in sue
cession each employee had received

from that department but who
would not be able to attend

quately clothed without outside
help. The welfare department,
however, has c~ooperated by re-
ceiving clothing and distributing
it among the needy children. In
order To make the money go as
far as possible. the cash in the
fund has been used only to sup
plement outfits by the purchase
of shoes or other items not avail

or to clothe a child completely

unavailable in the correct size,

organization they would offer
their assistance to all other civic
clubs in any such program and
