YORK HERE
Saturday, June 81

York came in on Saturday night
for a four-game series and took the
opener, to 2. Two lefthanders, Joe
Muir for the White Roses, and Bill
Stratton for the Owls, were on the
mound, and for seven innings it was
a repetition of that game at York on
Memorial Day, when the same two
pitchers hooked up in a pitchers
battle, with York winning 10, the
only difference being Cd at the end
of the seventh inning, Hagerstown
was in front l to 0, and (2) both pit
cheers were hit more freely (Strat-
ton had allowed six hits up to that
time and Muir nine, whereas they
only gave up two hits apiece in the
Memorial Day game.
But Stratton ran into trouble in
the top half of the eighth, when
York scored their three runs.
Plate got a single for York in the
top half of the first inning with two
away, but Merson forced him at sec
ond for the third out In the bot
tom half, with one away, Halvonic
and Yeash singled, but Daddario and
Christie both went out via the strike
out route.
In the second frame Taffit singled
with two out, but died there when
Sheehan grounded to Stratton and
was thrown out at first. The Owls
also got hit in their half with two
away, when Bobbie Martin got the
first of three successive singles, but
he died on first when Stratton was
called out on strikes.
1t was three up and three down
for both sides in the third, and both
teams got man on base in the four
tn and fifth frames, but couldn't push
them around.
The Owls finally broke the ice in
the bottom half of the sixth. Ed
Yeash, the first man up, beat out a
grounder to third. George Dad
dario then laid down a bunt and

The Cards evened up the series
with the Owls on Thursday night in
loosely played, free hitting game,
by a score of 14-5.
Harry Desmuke, a left handler,
went all the way for Allentown,
with Dave Abramson behind the
plate. Barney Schultz started for
Hagerstown, but was knocked out OF
the box in the sixth inning. Birrer
relieved him, but was just as in
effective. Schultz was the losing
pitcher.
Allentown took two-run lead in
the top half of the third when Haus,
the second baseman, got the first of
four two-baggers. Desmuke sacri-

double, scoring Watkins, and that
was all for Schultz. Birrer came in
but before he could get the side out
the Cards got three more hits, one
of them triple, and four more runs
crossed the plate.
The Owls got four runs in the bot
tom half of the sixth. Crumline
walked, and Martin followed with
a single to center, with Crumline
stopping at second. Birrer singled

The wild scoring continued in the
top half of the sixth, when Allen

plate to tie the game up at SO. Wat

and Haus followed with another in
field hit to second. Henderson was
called out on strikes, but Sturm
drew a walk to fill the bases. Lam
mers then forced Sturm at second
with Watkins scoring, and then
when Martin made bad throw to

scored with the second run. Gun
ningham also walked, and that was
all for Kapucinski. Snyder went to
the mound and he walked Muzzo
the first man to face him. Hazen
then singled, to left, scoring Lam
mers and Cunningham, with Muzzo
going to third. Ciaffone then singled

he forced Daddario at second, with
Yeash moving to third. Rooms then

Yeash crossing the plate with the
first run of the game and Christie

Bobbie Martin then got his third hit,

was still limping badly with that

Merson broke for second. Crumling
threw to second and then Plate
made the break for the plate and
beat the throw back to Crumling,
for run number two. Gene put up
a terrific argument with plate UNI
pire Kane, but to be perfectly fair,
it looked from the press box as if
Crumling had the ball in his bare
hand and put his glove on Plate in
stead of the ball. Giordano then
went out, pitcher to first, with Mer-
son moving to third, from where he
scored the third run on Buck Elliott's
single Taffit then went out, second

pinch hit for Stratton. With a
count of two and one, Birrer struck
at a wild pitch that hit in front of
the plate, for the third strike.
The ball went into the Owls dug
out, holding the runners, under the
ground rules, to one base, with the
result that Christie scored from third,
and Rooms and Crumling moved up
one base. Birrer, of course, was out,
as with first base occupied, he was
automatically out when the third
strike was called on him. Muir then
struck out Feltman to end the in

row and his 18th for the game.

baseman, got the first hit off Wigle
in the first inning. The second and
third hits came from the bat of Lar
ny Ciaffone, the right fielder, who
doubled to left center in the second
with one out, but got no further,
and who singled to left in the sew
enth inning and was retired on a
double play.
Will Mccullough, a right handler,
started for the Red Birds, and al
though he struck out seven men dur
ing the seven innings he pitched Che
was taken out for pinch hitter he
was hit freely, giving up eleven of
the Owls twelve hits and being
charged with all five runs.
Hagerstown punched their hits in
the second and fifth innings to &C
count for all their runs. In the sec
ond frame Christie led off with a
single to center, and after Rooms
had flied out, Crumling doubled to
center, sending Christie to third.
Martin then drew the first of three
walks issued to him, to fill the bases.
Wigle was called out on strikes for
the second out, but Marve Feltman
came through with a timely hit to
left, scoring Christie and Crumling.
Sabina struck out for the second
time in row, to end the inning.
The other three runs came in the
fifth after two were out. Yeash
singled to center and Daddario
doubled to left, sending Yeash to
third. Christie then got his third
hit in row, a double to the left
field wall, driving in Yeash and
Daddario, and Mike Rooms followed
with single to right, with Christie
scoring. The inning ended when
Mike was out stealing.
There was an exciting foot race
in the bottom half of the sixth be
tween hammers, the Allentown
third baseman, and Bobby Martin.
With one out, Bobby drew a walk.
Wigle then hit a scoring grounder
down the third base line that Lam
mers managed to knock down, but
it rolled into short left field. Mar
tin went to second on the hit, and
when he saw the ball rolling away,
he headed for third, but hammers
recovered it, and in race to the
bag, hammers won it by an eyelash
to put the ball on Bobby sliding in.
Claude Christie, the Owls sec
Ond-string catcher, who is doing
such marvellous job in right field,
has got plenty of intestinal fortitude.
In the seventh inning he was hit on
the arm with a pitched ball, and
then when racing to second when
Rooms grounded to short, he tripped
over the bag and hurt his foot, but
after hobbling around few minutes,
he went right back to his position
in right field.

DOUBLE PLAYS

Through Tuesday night with 81
games played, the Owls had COM
pleted " double plays-19 at home
and on the road.
This is more than they COM
pleted last year with the same num-
Der of games played.
In the game at Allentown on Tues
day night, which the Owls lost to l.,
Ted Kapucinski struck out nine,
with Vaughn Hazen, the Cards right
fielder, being the victim five times
he struck out every time he came to
bat.
Jack Netcher, the outfelder OPP
toned here by Chattanooga, who
arrived in time to play center field
in both games of Sundays double
header, advised Mr.. Sterling on
Monday morning that his arm hurt
so badly after playing in the two
games, that he decided to go home
for the rest of the year. This was
a tough break for the Owls, as Jack
looked, in the two games he played,
as if he would have been of real
help to the club.
Another outfelder, Jack Myers,
who was sent in by Detroit, arrived
Sunday afternoon, but unfortun-
ately it will be several days before
his papers are Strengthened out. He
left with the team for their road
trip on Tuesday morning, and it is
hoped that he will be able to play
by the end of the week.
Bernie Jenis is still a question
mark. His papers have been receiv-
ed by Mr.. Sterling from the Detroit
office, but there is no word concern
ing the condition of his arm, that has
been in a cast since before the sea-
son opened, nor is there any word
as to when he will report to the
local club.
"Marve" Feltman, who never
played center field until the day he
arrived here with the Williamsport
Team for an exhibition game, got
back to his regular position right
field-in Sundays double header.
Not only did he field his position
perfectly, but he also went to hit
ting, getting three for five in the
first game, including double, and
two for three in the second game
(also including a double), Here's
hoping that before very long he will
be permanently assigned to the right
field position.
Talking with Gene Crumling be-
fore the team left for their road
trip, he said that he had high hopes
of getting help for the club before
returning home on Monday, and
sincerely hope that's true. For it is
perfectly obvious that unless our
infeld is strengthened both at first
and third bases, and unless we get
another good outfelder and at least
two more reliable starting pitchers
the Owls have no chance of getting
into the first division. But if they
get the help they need, there is still
plenty of time, since through Tues
day night they still had 103 games to
play.
Now, let's recap the games of the
past week.

In the nine-inning first game, Don

Minis went all the way to get credit
for the win, but Bolton, who was
charged with the loss, was knocked
