Bob Pottenger was his battery mate.
Schmidt went all the way for AL

defense by his teammates. He only
allowed hits, singles in the third

a single in the seventh. He struck
out 6 and walked like number.
Young was his battery mate.
The Allentown Club had to put a
makeshift lineup on the field due to
six of the players coming down with

scored five runs on only one hit
Here's what happened;
Harbaugh, the first man up, singled

See Keeping Up With The
Braves" page 6, for the Interstate
League standings, postponed games,
schedule for the week, double plays,
and a review of the Braves games
OF the past week. including the box
score of the Braves 13-inning win
over Allentown on Saturday night.
There is a real battle going on for
the second, third and fourth spots
in the Interstate League.
AS this is written "wednesday
morning), there was just an eyelash
separating Hagerstown, Trenton and
Harrisburg, with one percentage
point between Hagerstown Gin sec
ond place. and Trenton Tin third,
while Harrisburg was only half a
game behind them With Trenton
meeting Wilmington (who just about
have the pennant cinched) in their
last four games of the regular season,
the outcome probably won't be
known until the last day of the sea-
son, and then there could easily be
a tie.
In the event that there are no tie
games to be played off, the play-offs
will start on Tuesday night, with the
first-place team meeting the third
place team in a four out-of-seven-
game series, with the first two games
being played on the diamond of the
first-place club, and the second
place club meeting the fourth-place
team in a similar series.
When those games are decided, the
two winning teams will meet in a
four-out- -seven-game series for
the Governors Cup.
Although it is true that the Braves
infield, (whose sparkling plays have
been largely responsible for Hag-
erstown's winning 10 of their last IA
games) suddenly fell apart in the
second and third innings of Sunday
afternoons game with Allentown,
they only did what often happens in
the major leagues also.
For instance, in the game between
the Cleveland Indians and the Bos-
ton Red Sox on Sunday afternoon,
in which the Red Sox came from
behind to win, the Cleveland infield
collapsed in the seventh inning when
Boston scored seven runs.
Rosen, the third baseman, made
the first error when he booted Do
err's grounded. Boone, the shortstop,
then booted Zarillar's grounder and
he then made his second error of the
inning when he fielded Rosar's
grounder and threw wild to first.
Thus three men were put on base as
the direct result of the errors, and
they all scored a moment later when
Vollmer slammed one out of the
park.
| have often said, and l say it
again, that while some errors are
made because of the indifference of
ball players, most of them are made
by those who are trying the hardest
and, as one old-time manager said
to me many years ago: "Show me
ball club that seldom makes an err
ror, and l will show you ball club
that isn't hustling every minute of
the game"
While on the subject of the Hag-
erstown Braves, l wonder what that
small group of fans who usually sit
in the grandstand back of the visit
ing dugout, and who are continually
getting on Terrell, the catcher,
would do if they tried to play ball
under the same conditions that con-
front that Woodworking player.

man first tried to get Terrell from
