The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-10-19

Office that Sammie J. Cooper,
pitcher from Evansville and bro
Their of the famous Cooper brothers,
Walter and Mort, has been signed to
a Hagerstown contract. Two other
pitchers, Robert j. Mathieson and
Card d. Hrovatic, both from the Que
bee club in the Canadian-American
League, have also been signed to a
Hagerstown contract.
These three players bring the Ha-
gerstown roster to rs.
Edwards was also advised that
John F. Bench and James E. Hern-
don, two pitchers who saw brief serv-
ice with Hagerstown this year, have
been indicted into the armed forces.
It looks now that the Interstate
League will have eight teams again
next year. The League held meet
ing at Lancaster last week, at which
it was announced that although the
Trenton Giants will move from
Trenton to Sunbury, where they
have taken three-year lease of the
Sunbury stadium, the parent organ
ization, the New York Giants, is
making plans to sell their Trenton
franchise to group of Trenton men,
whose names will shortly be am
nounced, as well as the club with
whom they will have working
agreement.
The reorganization of the York
club has also been completed and
they will definitely remain in the
league, although the club with whom
they will have their working agree
ment is still to be announced.
The Phillies also stated at the
meeting that they will also remain
in the League, but whether their
entry remains in Wilmington, or
moves to another town, will probably
not be known until the annual fall
meeting is held in Harrisburg on
Monday, November 20.
Our own Braves, who have re-
newed their working agreement with
Boston, will, under the field man
agership of Dutch Dorman, be back
at the old stand, as will Harrisburg,
Allentown and Lancaster.
The "Y" County Softball playoff
for the Presidents Cup Chest two out
of three games) got started at
Reservoir Park on Sunday after
noon, when double-header was
split, with Pinesburg taking the first
game, Az, and Friendly Market win
ming the second, 7-6. The third and
final game will be played at Reser-
voir Park on Sunday afternoon,
starting at 200 o'clock.
The first game was a well-played,
tight game, with Pinesburg coming
from behind in the last inning to
score two runs. But the second game
was wild and woody affair.
Friendly Market scored twice in
the first inning and then ran up a
so lead before Pinesburg could get
going. When PineSburg came to bat
in the bottom half of the sixth, they
were trailing 6-1, but both the pitch
ing and fielding of Friendly Market
fell suddenly apart and a combina-
ton of three errors, three walks,
and one lone hit, gave Pinesburg
five runs and the score was tied.
But in the top half of the seventh,
Friendly Market showed another run
across that turned out to be the win
ming marker
Junior Cunningham pitched both
games for Friendly Market. Home
runs won both games, with Shank
and Hose coming through for Pines
burg in the first game, and Pete
Wolfensberger also slamming four
Dagger for Friendly Market in the
nightcap.
Playoffs also got under way in
the Washington County and indie
pendent Baseball Leagues.
In the Washington County League
Williamsport beat Keedysville by the
score of Is to 5, to put them one up
in the series, and in the Independ-
ent League Antietam went one up
over Security when they came up
with 5 runs in the eighth inning, to
win to 5.
The Hagerstown High School
Hubs, outplaying their opponents in
every department, romped to an easy
1914 win over Frederick High at
the Stadium on Friday night. Both
the Frederick tbs came in the Sec
ond period, with the Hubs second
stringers in the lineup. With Hag-
erstown leading 20 to O, Frederick
took to the air and scored on pass.
