AT LANCASTER
Saturday, May y

The Lancaster Red Roses bought
a new shortstop on Saturday, and he
made his first appearance in the Lam
caster lineup against the Owls on
Saturday night. AS far as the Owls
were concerned, they wished he
had stayed with Newport News in
the Piedmont League, for all he did
was to get just one hit all night, and
that was a home run with the bases
loaded, in the fourth frame, which
spelled disaster for woody" Wheat
on's boys.
Up to that time the Owls had been
hanging on to one-run lead, their
one run coming in the third frame,
and Woody" had been going along
in nice style. But he suddenly weak
ened in the fourth and started the
inning off by walking Joe Barracato,
the Lancaster third baseman Will
liams, the first baseman, followed
with a solid single, with Barracato
stopping at second, and Collins the
centerfelder, moving up both run
ners with a perfect sacrifice. Asst
bury, the leftfielder, also got a base
on balls to load the sacks, and then
Glicka nailed "Woody's" first pitch
almost on a line over the left field
fence.
Hagerstown's first run was driv-
en- in by German, and then they had
two more in the eighth, these two
being driven in by Crumling and
Wheaton. The boys had a chance
to tie the game up in the top half of
the ninth, but that ended right sud-
denly when Caravello lined to Will
liams, the first baseman, who stepped
on the bag to double off Hiden and
end the game.

Second Game

Bud" German, the owls first base
man, was hit on the head with a
pitched ball in the first inning and
had to retire from the game, and
Hiden, who had started the game in
centerfeld, took over the first base
chores, with Woody" Wheaton NOV
ing back to his old spot in center
field Then in the sixth inning
Mirande entered the game to run
for Hiden, and he went to centerfeld,
with Wheaton taking over first
Joe Dickinson went the route in
the seven-inning affair to give him
his third straight win without a
loss.
The Owls jumped out with three
run lead in the first frame, but Lam
caster got within one run of them in
the second to make the score 80.
Then in the top half of the third,
Hagerstown put three more across,
Lancaster coming back with pair
in the bottom half, to give Hagers-
town a Ga lead. Then the Owls
scored the seventh and final run in
the fourth, and Lancaster got run
number 5 in the fifth.
One of the Owls runs came as the
result of four-bagger by Kelly,
who got three for four, while Hidden
and Caciavely both drove in pair.

Major started for the Owls in the
first game with Crumling behind
the plate, but Caciavely and Mir
ande were out of the lineup, with
the result that Hiden took over the
third base spot, CHASER moved over
to second and Caravello went to
short
1t was a free hitting affair, with
each side getting nine base knocks,
and it was also aIoosely played game
as far as the Red Roses were con-
cerned, the official score charging
them with seven errors, with only
two miscues against the Owls. But
just the same Lancaster was able to
come out on top by margin of
one run.
Woody" Wheaton and Chaser
each drove in two runs, and Hiden,
Caravello and Crumling also got
an RBI apiece, the eighth run be-
ing unearned. While for Lancast-
err Collins, the centerfelder, was
the big noise, getting two for four,

were four-baggers, one with the

ing the series at Ii
Gene Major, who went the route

ting by the Harrisburg club, spelled
his downfall. Gene Crumling was
behind the plate.
Norm Camp, a young right-hand-
er, went the route for the Senators,
and except for his wildness in the
earlier innings, pitched superb ball
and well deserved the win. Nara
gon was the Harrisburg catcher.

three-run lead in the first inning on
just one hit Perlmutter, the first
man up, was safe at first when
Mirande, after fielding his grounder,
made bad throw. Malmberg walk

Perlmutter when he tried to score
on the play. Lemon, the next man
up, flied to right, but Keller drop
ped the ball with Hansen scoring on
the error and Lemon being safe at
first. Radsavage followed with a
double to left, scoring Cox and Lee
mon. Carrow ended the bad in
ming by grounding out, but not be-
fore three costly runs had crossed
the plate.
The Owls came back in the bot
tom half of the first and scored two
runs, also on one hit Miranda, the
first man up, walked, as did Car
vello and German, filling the bases
with none out. Keller then popped
up to short with all runners hold
ing. Wheaton, the next man UP,
forced German at second, with
Mirande scoring on the play. And
Kelly followed with a single to left,
scoring Caravello. Caciavely then
grounded to Hansen at second, who
booted the ball, but recovered it in
time to get Wheaton at the plate as
he tried to score all the way from
second on the error.
Harrisburg picked up two more
runs in the third With one away
Hansen walked, but was forced by
Cox. Lemon then beat out a hit to
short, and then both runners adj
vanced on a passed ball. Radsav-
age, who had driven in two of the
Senators three runs in the first in
ming with double, came right back
with single, scoring both Cox and
Lemon. And then Carrow ended the
inning by popping up to short.
The Owls got their third and final
run in the bottom half of the third
when with one away Keller singled
to left. Wheaton flied to left for
the second out, but Kelly got base
on balls, and then Caciavely beat
out a hit to third, scoring Keller.
