The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1948-09-09

ger Frank Oceak. of the York White |
Roses, put on at the final game of
the season at the stadium on Mon
day night, was a poor compliment
to the big crowd of Hagerstown fans
who turned out to see the final
game of the season and expected
to see a real baseball game and not
a comedy.
Oceak moved his men around dur
ing the game like pawns on a chess
board, and at one stage of the game,
when he moved himself from center !
field to short stop, he took his posi-
ton with a pair of shinguards on.
The fans wanted to see the Owls
win their final game of the season,
and they also wanted to see Barney /
Schultz get his shut-out, but they
wanted to see both these results in
a well played game of ball. They
got the good game of ball as far
as the Owl players were concerned,
but they got anything but good ball
from York, and in my book the
farce should be reported by the UNI
pires to the president of the league.
The Owls played their complete
schedule of the 1948 season with
every one of the rained out games
being made up. They only played
90 games at home, however, as two
games rained out during Allen
towns last visit here were later
made up at Allentown so that the
Owls actually played Y games on
the road instead of 70.

cinski led in shut-outs, with each

Barney Schultz got his first shut
out May 4 against Trenton, with
score of 60 his second game on
August against Lancaster, with a
score of 40, and his third game on
Monday night at the last game of
the season against York, the score
being, of course, so,
Kapucinski's first shut-out was

score being 20, his second against
Harrisburg on June 27, with the

Allentown on August Is, when the
