losing pitcher), was taken out in
the third inning after giving up five
hits and being charged with six
runs He was relieved by Wander
weir, another highlander, who in
turn was taken out for pinch hit
ter in the top half of the sixth, and
Cal Wollgast, also Highlander,
pitched the last three innings. Will
lie Osteen, Allentown's new catch
err, was behind the plate.
The Cards took a one-run lead in
the top half of the first. Copen-
haver, the first man up, beat out
hit to deep short. Joyner then
struck out, but Castel singled to
center sending Copenhaver to third,
and he then stole second. Browne,
the next man up, flied TO right, with
Copenhaver scoring after the catch
and Castel moving to third. Hig-
ham then struck out Marolewski to

That was all the scoring until the
bottom half of the third when eleven
Hagerstown men went to bat and six
big runs crossed the plate. Hig-
ham and Simmons, the first two men
up, both drew walks. Heap struck
out but Levan (who got 4 for g.

sending Simmons to third. Tedesco
came right behind him with an
other double to the same spot, scor-
ing Levan and Simmons for the Sec
ond and third runs. Tufano then

high throw, with Tedesco moving to
third on the error. Tufano then stole
second. Heinbaugh, the next man
up, doubled to center, scoring Ted
eSco, with Tufano stopping at third.
It looked very much as if the ball
would be caught and for that reason
both runners had to hold up until
it actually dropped safe. That was
all for Vogel and Vanderweir came
in. AStbury, the first man to face
him, then got the third walk of the
inning, filling the bases. Pottenger
followed with single to right
scoring Tufano and Heinbaugh, with

Vanderweir settled down and got
Higham, the tenth man to bat, anc
Simmons, the eleventh, on strike
outs.

fourth. Heap, the first man up, foul
ed out to the first baseman, but LIE

) the third baseline, which Sweder
ske barely got his glove on, scor
, ing Levan, with Tedesco stopping
at second. Heinbaugh then flied on
