Negro History Week
Observed


servance of Negro History Week,
the Junior Class of the Malvern
High School. sponsored a program
based upon the past and present
problems of the Negro. The main
feature of the program was the
presentation of a play entitled
Frederick Douglass. This play
showed not only living conditions,
but the educational problems that
existed during the lifetime of
this famous person. A bulletin was
published for the purposes of ac-
.quainting the public with all in
terests discussed and probable
answers as seen by the Juniors.
Copies may be secured from Jun
iors As summary of these
thoughts, the principal speaks:
When we think of the CLASH

We all know that in the year
of our Lord 1868, Lincoln issued
the Emancipation Proclamation
that freed millions of Negroes.
The two big questions that face
the thinking people of today are;

How free is any person? Any
person is free to think, do, Oh

Don Bolton pitched shutout ball
in every inning but the sixth, when
the Cards scored their runs. He

AT LANCASTER
"wednesday, August 11)

The Owls made it two straight over
Lancaster on Wednesday night, when
they took the second game of the
three-game series by a score of 81.
Jim Lawrence went all the way,
with Claude Christie behind the
plate. Lee Griffith, a left handler
(who was the losing pitcher) started
for the Red Roses, but was knocked
out in the ninth and was relieved by
digger" Donohue, right handler.
Armstrong was behind the plate.
The Owls jumped out to a three
run lead in the top half of the sec
ond. Christie, the first man up, beat
out hit along the third base line
and Daddario followed with a
single to right, with Christie stop
ping at second. Yeash walked to
fill the bases, and Hank Polinskii
(playing in right f1eld) came through
with a two-bagger, scoring Christie,
Daddario and Yeash, but he was out
when he tried to go to third on the
throw in. Martin popped up to
Ruscher for the second out and Law
renee took a third called strike
Lancaster came right back, how
ever, in the bottom half, to score
two runs themselves. Armstrong
opened with single to center and
Ruscher walked. Ringler then got
a single off of Lawrences shins that
went clear to the outfield, and Arm
strong scored, with Ruscher stop
ping at second. Astbury then
forced Ruscher at third, with Ring
er going to second. Nicholson flied
to left for the second out, but Crit
feth came through with single to
center, scoring Ringler for the sec
ond run, but Usciak flied to Keller
to retire the side.
From that point on, Lawrence
was in command all the way. He
set down the Red Roses from the
third through the seventh inning
without a hit. He ran into little
trouble in the eighth when an in
field hit, a single to center and a
walk filled the bases with one out,
but Jim took care of that situation
very nicely by striking out lack
(who was sent in to pinch hit for
Astbury) and Nicholson, to retire
the side.
Wicker, pinch hitting for Donohue
in the ninth, opened the inning with
a single, but Usciak hit into double
play, and then Lawrence threw
Prosk out to end the game.

Sunday, August 49,

The Owls split their doubleheader
with the Allentown Cards Sunday
afternoon, to give them the series,
four games to one.
Jim Lawrence pitched the first
game and had a So lead going into
the ninth inning, when three errors
plus four solid hits and two walks
cost him the ball game Poffenber-
ger, who was signed by the Owls
management on Saturday, took over
after two were out. Gene Crumling
was behind the plate.
The Cards used three pitchers (all
right handers). Dick Hanna start
ed, Stan Slack went in in the seven
tn, and Chris Haughey, the winning
pitcher, took over in the eighth.
Ciaffone was behind the plate.
In the second game, Ted Kapu-
cinski pitched a two hit shut-out,
and as matter of fact, the two hits
credited to the Cards were of the
scratch variety. Claude Christie
was his catcher until the seventh,
when Gene Crumling came in. Dick
Bokelmann "a right hander) went
the route for Allentown, and Abram-
son did the catching.

Double Plays

Through Tuesday night, with ia
games played, the Owls had COM
pleted 80 double plays-45 at home
and 81 on the road.
This is 16 less than they had com
pleted last year, with the same num-
Der of games played.
While the fielding of the Owls has
been bordering on the sensational at
times, there were two fielding gems
during the recent home stay that de-
serve mention.
In the second game of Sundays
doubleheader with Allen ow n,
George Daddario took out after fly
into short left field and took it on a
dead run with his back to the stands.
Then in Monday nights game with
York, Bobby Martin made an "im-
possible" stop of a ground ball, and
although he was off balance, whipped
the ball to Jenis in time to nab the
runner.
George Daddario's home run over
the rightfield fence on Friday night,
was the hardest ball he has hit all
year.
Now, let's recap the games Of the
past week.

Apart from excellent pitching,
both games were featured by the
