(Thursday, July 29)

Those amazing Owls, who have
suddenly started playing better ball
than any team in the league, really
pulled prize package out of the
bag on Thursday night, when they
spotted the league-leading Whining
ton Blue Rocks nine runs in the
first two innings and then turned
around and beat them liz.
Barney Schultz started for the
Owls, but he didn't have his stuff
and was taken out in the first in
ming, after he had walked the first
two men, and the next two followed
with double and single respec-
lively, which accounted for three
runs and left another potential run
on base. with nobody out.
Don Bolton then came in, and it
looked as if he didn't have his stuff
either, for he gave up three straight
hits that accounted for two more
runs, before he could get any more
out. He then managed to retire the
side without any further damage,
but he was in plenty more trouble in
the second inning, when a walk, two
doubles and two singles produced
four more runs before he could get
the side out, and the score then stood
Wilmington, 9, Hagerstown, 0.
But with the start of the third in
ming, Don was different pitcher
and came through with one of the
prettiest relief jobs you could wish
to see. He shut out the Blue Rocks
for the rest of the way, giving up
three scattered hits and striking out
total of ten batters. Bolton, Of
course, was the winning pitcher, and
his battery mate was Claude Christie.
George Eyrich, a right handler,
started for Wilmington, but he was
knocked out in the sixth and was
relieved by Hugh Radcliffe (also a
right hander). He, in turn, was
knocked out in the eighth, and both
Horton and Jankowski also went
to the mound in that inning. Hor-
ton was the losing pitcher, and Wer-
ner did the catching.

AT SUNBURY
Saturday, July 80

The Owls ran their winning
streak to five games on Saturday
night, when they made it two
straight over the Sunbury Reds,
winning the second game of the
series, to 3.
Lou Fauth pitched a honey of a
game after a bad first inning, in
which the Reds scored all their
runs, and his battery mate was Gene
Crumling, Mo Savranski, a left
handler, started for Sunbury and
was charged with the loss, with
Mike Rooms taking over in the
eighth. Art Young and Lou Hum
mel shared the catching chores.
Sunbury jumped out into three
run lead in the first. Barnhardt
singled but was forced at second by
Eckdahl. Di Prima followed with a
ee-bagger to left, scoring Eek
dahl, and then Steve Filipowicz
slammed one over the right-field
wall, scoring Di Prima ahead of
him. Ticco then popped up to Jenis
and Rooms went out second to first
to end the inning.
And from there, on out, Fauth
was in complete control. He didn't
walk a man until two were out in
the eighth, and although he gave up
six hits in the last eight innings, he
kept them fairly well scattered and
aided by swell defensive plays by his
team mates, every scoring threat of
the Reds was snuffed out.
Through the first six innings the
Owls couldn't do a thing with the
slants of lefthander Savranski, des-
pite his wildness Che walked total
of eight. In fact the only hit up to
the seventh was double by Jenis,
with two out in the third, and three
double plays nullified the walks. But
they finally caught up with him in
the seventh.
Polinski opened the inning with a
single to right. Crumling then
grounded to Ticco, swho booted the
ball and both runners were safe.
Bobbie Martin then got a single
to short leftfeld, filling the bases.
Fauth also singled to left, scoring
Polinski and leaving the bases full.
Ermer then drew base on balls,
forcing in Crumling' with the sec
ond run and still leaving the sacks
loaded Jenis popped up to Bern
hardt for the first out, but Hal Kel-
Ter, batting for Yeash, also walked,
forcing in Martin with run number
three, to tie the score Christie then
put the Owls ahead when his long
fly to left enabled Fauth to score
easily after the catch. George Dad
dario then hit a line drive to center
field, on which Van Heuit made a

followed with double, and after
Manager Benny Culp had talked
with Kapucinski, he left the game
and was replaced by Jim Lawrence.
Levan drew an intentional pass,
and then Lawrence walked Goliat
to fill the bases. But the young
right handler turned right around
then and struck out Hollmig and
Oswald to retire the side and leave
the score tied at "A at the end of
the ninth
1t was three up and three down
for both sides in the tenth, but
in the top half of the eleventh, Lee
van opened the inning with sin
gle and went to second after the
catch, when Goliat hit a fly to Yeash
in deep left field. Hollmig then
grounded to Daddario at short.
George made the play at third base
to get Levan, but his throw glanced
off Levans back and that slowed it
up enough for Levan to reach the
bag ahead of the throw. This rul-
ing by Faro brought on another ter
rife rubarb, and as result of that
one, Manager Culp was tossed out
of the game. Oswald, the next man
up, was hit by a pitched ball, fill
ing the bases. Lawrence then got
Rufer on a third called strike, but
he walked Ridzik (the third Will
mington pitcher forcing in Levan
with the fifth run. But Hasenmay-
er then forced Ridzik at second to
end the inning.
The Owls came right back in the
bottom half of the eleventh, how
ever, to tie the score again. Crum-
ling was sent in to bat for Keller
and struck out Claude Christie fol
lowed with single to left, and then
Hasenmayer made beautiful stop
of Daddario's ground ball between
first and second, but he made a bad
throw to first, with the result that
Christie went to third and Daddario
pulled up at second on the error.
Yeash was then given an intentional
pass to get play at every base,
but Polinsld came through with a
long fly to center field and Christie
scored the tying run after the catch.
Martin then went out pitcher to
first to end the inning.
Lawrence, with the aid of a fast
double play that went from Bobby
Martin to Bernie Jenis, got rid of
the Blue Rocks in the twelfth, and
then the Owls put over the winning
run in the bottom half. Fauth went
in to bat for Lawrence and took a
third called strike Ermer then
popped up to second for the second
out, but Jenis came through with a
single to right, and then went to
second on a balk by Ridzik 1t was
then that Crumling Ga real money
hitter came through with a slash
ing single right over the third base
bag that drove Jenis across with the
winning run.

"Wednesday, July 28)

In one of the best games that has
ever been played in the stadium Cor
in any other park in the Interstate
League for that matter) the Owls
won the third game of their four
game series with Wilmington on
Wednesday night, by a score of 6-5,
to put them ahead two games to
one in the four game series.
The game, which went twelve in
nings, was thriller from start to
finish, and it was a remarkable game
in many respects. Features of the
game were: the grand pitching jobs
by Kapucinski, who started, and by
Jim Lawrence, who relieved him in
the ninth and got credit for the
win; the fact that a total of % bat
tiers went out by the strike-out route
-Kapucinski struck out Is, Lawrence
4, George 6 and Ridzik 6; and the
fact that the two teams had a total
of 33 men left on base.
Wilmington scored a run in the
top half of the first on two singles,
walk and an outfield fly, but the
Owls came right back in their half
TO go ahead 81 Ermer (who had
five for six opened the inning with
a single and Jenis followed with
another single, sending Ermer to
third, with Jenis going to second on
the throw-in. The play on Jenis at
second brought on terrific rhubarb
with the base umpire, Faro, which
resulted in Dykes, the Wilmington
second baseman, being put out of the
game, and as a consequence, the
Blue Rocks had to make several
changes in their fielding positions
Keller, the next man up, struck
out. Christie was then thrown out
short to first, with Ermer scoring on
the play, and Jenis moving to third.
Daddario followed with a single,
scoring Jenis. Yeash then went out
short to first to end the inning.
The Blue Rocks tied it up in the
third on successive doubles by Lor-
enz and Werner, with one man out
But Kapucinski then retired the side
without any further damage.
That was all the scoring until the
Z fifth, when the Owls went ahead
80 Keller got an infield hit to
short and Christie followed with an
infield hit to third, with Keller
to left, but Yeash grounded to Has
stopping at second. Daddario flied
enmayer, who threw to Rufer in
time to force Christie at second, with
Keller moving to third. But when
Hollmig dropped Rulers peg 10
first, Yeash was safe at first and
Keller scored on the error.
The Owls added another in the
sixth to make it Az, when after Two
were out, Ermer, who doubled,
scored on Jenis' single, but Jenis
was out trying to go to second on
the throw.
Wilmington picked up a run in
seventh when Werner, who had
walked, scored on Levan's double.
The score was then 4-3.
Kapucinski retired the side via
the strike-out route in the eighth,
but ran into some trouble in the
ninth, when with one out, Lorenz
parked four-bagger over the right

diving shoe-string catch to end the
inning.
Hagerstown's fifth run came in
the ninth, with Rooms (who took
over the pitching chores in the
eighth when Savranski was taken
out for pinch hitter on the mound.
Ermer opened with a single, but
was forced at second by Jenis. Kel-
Ter then flied out, but Claude Christ

It's q disgrace" the way the
Smithsonian has to clean most Of
its buildings during the day, with
mops and brooms strewn around

Appropriations Committee was told
yesterday.
The shortage of manpower is to
blame, DR.. j. L. Keddy, assistant
secretary, told the committee, as he
asked for money to add 10 more
cleaning men or women to the force
The House, in approving 1949 funds
for the institution, had refused to
give the Smithsonian enough money
to hire the needed cleaners, he
said.
/ The committee wanted to know
why the buildings can't be cleaned
at night.
To this, John e. Graft, acting sec
retary of the institution, replied
that the cleaning has to be done by
the day force which also has other
duties.
"One force does a double purpose
half Job on each," he testified.
Except for the National Museum

cleaned at night, DR.. Keddy con-
tended, "our halls have to go dirty
