he was unable to hold it and finally
had to be taken out in the sixth, and

just one run, to get credit for the

Charlie Hidden knocked one over the
left field wall for his only hit of the
night, to get credit for two RIBS.
Keller got two for three; Caciavely

After scoreless inning, Hagers-
town jumped on the offerings of Al
Corwin for four big runs in the sec
ond, and then Trenton came back in
their half to pick up one and make
the score Al. Then in the third the
Owls continued shellacing Corwin
and three more runs crossed the
plate, to make the score at the end
of the third, Hagerstown 7-Tren-

Klesitz took over, and he pitched
beautiful ball the rest of the way,
giving up one hit in the sixth frame
During his stay on the mound he
struck out five, gave up four hits,
and despite the fact that he walked
eight and. hit one batter (Keller) he
shut the Owls out in six of the seven
innings he pitched.
In the fourth frame the Giants
started to get to Dickinson when
they nicked him for two, and then
continued hitting him pretty hard
in the fifth when three more runs
crossed the platter, to make the
score Hagerstown Trenton 6. But
in the bottom half of the sixth Tren-
ton put the game on ice when they
knocked Dickinson out of the box
and scored five big runs, to make
the score Trenton 11-Hagerstown
8.
Then just to make sure, they pro-
ceeded to knock Mccullough all over
the lot in the eighth inning, and
three more runs crossed the plate
before Hackenburg came in and put
out the fire.
