1t Happened
Continued from Page 81

Hidden ended the inning by grounding
out to first.
Poffenberger went to the mound
in the fifth, and although the Giants
didn't score on him, it was pretty
obvious that he wasn't right as he
hit the first batter to face him, and
then after striking out Rambin, he
gave up a walk, but was out of
trouble when Keller caught Cum
ningham's long fly, and Hixson fol-
lowed suit with Mitchells long fly
to center.
But he didn't last long in the
sixth. Kropf, the first man to face
him, doubled to right, and then he
gave a base on balls to Tickey. At
that point Woody" Wheaton took
him out of the game ana sent in
Mccullough, who went the rest of
the way.
Klesitz, who had relieved Heitsch-
midt the Giants starting pitcher, in
the third, sacrificed both runners
along, and Wetzel followed with a
triple, scoring both of them, with
both runs being charged to Poffen-
berger. Mccullough then retired
the side without any further dam
age, and the score at that point was
7-3 Trenton.
But the Owls came back in the
bottom half to pick up two more
runs and make the score rs. CHASER
and Kelly both walked and Hidden
followed with a single, scoring Glas-
er. That was all for Klesitz, and
Mix came in and went the rest of
the way Keller, the first man to
face him, laid down a perfect bunt
along the third base line for an in
field hit, scoring Kelly. But Mix
got the side out after that without
any further damage.
In the seventh inning the Giants
made it 9-5. Henry and Cunning
ham, the first two men up, walked
and then pulled a doublesteal, after
which Mitchell also walked, filling
the bases. Kropf struck out, but
Hickey, who had homered in the
fourth, came through with double
to center, scoring Henry and Gun
bingham, but Mitchell was out at the
plate when he also tried to score.
on a perfect peg from Hixson to
Crumling. Kropf then ended the
inning by striking out. That was
all the scoring for Trenton, with Pat
Mccullough setting them down
without hit in the last two frames.
The Owls tied the game up in the
seventh when they pushed across
four runs on four hits. Mccullough
opened the inning with a single to
right, but was forced at second by
Chaser. Kelly followed with a walk,
and Hiden then got his second
straight hit, single to left, scoring
Chaser Keller was up next, and
he got a screaming double to right
that was labeled a hit from the
moment the ball left his bat (as a
matter of fact it hit the wall inches
away from the top)- but for some
reason the base runners were slow
in getting started, and as a result
only Kelly scored, with Hidden stop
ping at third. German followed with
single to right, and again the base
runners must have expected the
ball to be caught, for only Hiden
scored, with Keller pulling ub at
third. Hixson then flied to left. with
Keller scoring after the catch, to tie
the score. Caravello was the eighth
man to bat, and he forced German
at second to end the inning.
1t was in the top half of the sew
enth inning that the rhubarb on
balls and strikes took place, which
resulted in Gene being tossed out
of the game.
Then came the big eighth when
the Owls scored four more runs to
put the game on ice. Woody
