Ralph Beard walked and scored on
Levan's double Trenton came right
back, however, in the Bottom half to
tie it up again, when Myers, Colom-
DO and Mays singled in order, with
Mays blow scoring the run.
The Giants went ahead 80 in the
fourth, as Monahan, who had reach
ed first on fielder's choice, went
to second on Bells infield hit and
scored on Colombo's third straight
hit, single to left.
That was all the scoring until the
top half of the ninth, when, with
two away, Milicevich beat out a hit
to short and scored on Bob Potten-
gers smashing three-bagger to right.
From then on until the game was
tailed, it was a battle Of wits be-
tween the two managers, in which
they came out even. Both of them
ordered batters Intentionally walked
during those hectic six innings, and
the Trenton manager sent in Bob
Easterbrook TO bat for Monahan in
the 18th, and Matte to bat for McMil-
len in the 18th, but they were just
couple of outs as far as AL Bennett
was concerned, who struck out East
erbrook and got Matte on fly to
Tufano,
A mild threat by Trenton in the
bottom half of the 18th was nipped
in the bud, when, with one out and
Bell on first, Myers grounded to Sim
mons, who threw to Milicevich fore
ing Bell at second, but just as Mill
cevich was starting his, throw to
Beard at first to complete the double
play, Bell deliberately smashed into
him and base umpire Fazio imme-
diately called interference on Bell,
and Myers was automatically out at
first under the new double-play i'm
reference rule, and il was scored as
a double-play, second to short to
first. ct was Hagerstown's third
double play of the game.)
That retired the side and plate UNI
pire Burnett then called the game,
which was scheduled to be replayed
in its entirety last night as part of
double-header. The game, however,
goes down in the records, with the
exception that there was no winning
or losing pitcher.

AT TRENTON
TUESDAY, July 18)

(Iuesday, July l8)
After battling for Is innings on
Tuesday night, with the score tied
at 3-3, the first of the two-game
series between the Giants and the
Braves was called a few minutes
before midnight, under the Inter-
State League rule, which states that
no inning can start after 1850 p. m.
Al Bennett went all the way for
Hagerstown and after getting off to
a shaky start-Trenton scored all
three of their runs in the first four
innings-he settled down and gave
one of the best exhibitions of pitch
ing that has been seen in the league
all season, shutting out the Giants
in eleven straight innings.
And AL was an extra infielder as
well, starting one double play and
getting three putouts and six as
sists.
Bob Pottenger caught the entire
game and it was his big blow in the
top half of the ninth--a three-bag-
ger with Milicevich on base-that
sent the game into extra innings
Ed Monahan, a highlander, with
a record of IL and 6, also pitched a
superb game during the IL innings
he was on the mound Che was taken
out for pinch-hitter in the 12th)
shutting out the Braves in all but
the End, 3rd and 9th innings, in
which they scored all their runs.
He was relieved by Don McMil1en,
also highlander, who didn't allow
a hit during the three innings he
pitched. Herb Boetto did the catch
ing.
Pete Perrin, the Braves rightfeld-
er, turned in the outstanding plav
of the game in the bottom half of
the 18th inning Myers, the Giants
firse-baseman, opened the inning
with a single to right by Mike Co
lombo, the third baseman, sacrificed
him to second. Willie Mays, the
Giants cleanup hitter, then hit a
high one into short rightfeld that
was labeled hit if ever there was
one, but Perrin came charging in
and made sensational shoestring
catch. When he caught the ball Ny
ers had rounded third and was al
most at the plate, SO all Pete had to
do was lob the ball to Simmons at
second for the double play.
Colombo's triple and Mays double
gave the Giants run in the first,
but the Braves tied it up in the top
half of the second on two walks, an
error and an infield out by Pottenger
that scored the run.
Hagerstown then went ahead 81

Second Blizzard
Strikes Area And
Drops Mercury to 10

Last nights and today's weather is
almost an exact repetition of that of
last Wednesday night and Thursday
when March came in like a roaring
lion. 1t wasn't quite as cold and there
wasn't quite as much snow but the
wind seemed to be just as strong and
violent.
The violent wind caused short cir
cults in the electric system over a
dozen times causing the area to be in
total darkness at various times from
8 o'clock until almost midnight.
The official temperature reading
was 10 above zero, with the amount
Of snowfall at l Y inches. The winds
were causing drifts in a few places
but mostly blowing every place clear
of any snow.
State Roads commission employees
were on the job cindering the icy
roads. Five crews were working out
of Accident on route 40 and other
sections last night but Oakland found
only one crew necessary since very
little snow had actually fallen in the
vicinity.
