Keeping Up With The Braves
BY DOUG STEWART
BY DOUG STEWART

dunn on Thursday night by score
of 5 to 4. Charlie Miller (the losing
pitcher) started with Don Wiede-
recht relieving him in the eighth and
Dick Carmichael taking over in the
ninth. Dusty Hersom was behind
the plate.
Bob Gregory, highlander, start
ed for the Cards, with Doug Clark,
another Highlander, taking over in
the third and getting credit for the
win. Ed Polak was behind the
plate.
The Braves had the bases loaded,
with two out, in the first, on an in
field single by linn, single to right
by Smith and Lind's base on balls.
But Bortz forced Lind at second to
retire the side.
Hagerstown took a one-run lead
in the top half of the third. With
one away linn got his second
straight hit, double to center and
manager Whitley" Kurowski then
took Gregory out and Clark went
to the mound. Smith greeted him
with single to center scoring linn,
with Smith moving to second on the
throw-in. Perrin forced him at
third for the second out and Lind
went down swinging to retire the
side.
Allentown tied it up in the fourth
Cummins, the first man up, was safe
at first on Lind's error. Elser pop
ped up, but Miller walked Hert-
wig and Killinger to fill the bases.
Joyner then grounded out at first,
with Cummins scoring on the play,
and Polak ended the inning by fly
ing to center.
The Braves went ahead again 81
in the bottom half of the fourth
Bortz, the first man up, singled to
left but was forced at second by
Hersom, but Elser made a wild
throw to first trying for the double
play and Hersom went all the way
to second on the error Freund then
grounded out, with Hersom moving
to third. Miller was up next and he
was safe at first when Hertwig drop
ped the ball, with Hersom holding
at third, and Glunt singled to right
scoring Hersom, with Miller NOV
ing to second. The rally ended
when linn forced Miller for the
third out.
It was 81 Hagerstown in the
fifth. With one away, Perrin doubl-
ed to right, moved to third on a
fielder's choice and scored on
Bortz's single to center.
The Cards however, went ahead
4-3 in the top half of the sixth when
they scored three runs on a walk,
two singles, a double and an in
field out.
But the see-saw battle continued
in the bottom half when the Braves
tied it up A. Miller opened the
inning with single to right. Glunt
then laid down a sacrifice bunt and
both runners were safe when Mill
er beat the throw to second. This
play brought on terrific rhubarb,
which resulted in manager Kurow-
ski being thumbed out of the game.
linn followed with another sacrifice,
sending Miller to third and Glunt
to second. Smith was given an in
territorial pass filling the bases, but
Perrin forced him at second, with
Miller scoring on the play. Lind
then grounded out to retire the side.
That was all the scoring until the
eighth frame, when successive dou-
bles by Elser, Allentown's short
stop, and Hertwig, the first baseman,
scored the winning tally.

Overwhelming TRAFFIC GROWTH
HAMPERS MEACER PATROL SERVICE

A sharp and serious reduction in
Ohio's coverage by the State Pa
troll, has been occasioned by the
overwhelming increase in traffic
the past five years, there being
only one patrolman per $4,000 ve-
hicle miles travelled, according to
Cpl. G. c. Richert, of the Bay
Bridge Station.
He said the department urgent
ly needs 400 additional men to
make the patrol service about one
half as efficient as that in states
of comparable size and traffic vol
ume.
The present meagre force of
patrolmen is required to investi-
gate accidents on 10000 miles of
county and township roads in ad-
dition to the 1903 miles of state
highways. 1t is estimated, Cpl.
Richert said, that one out of every
five accidents take the patrol off
the highway system and on to the
county and township roads.
This is particularly true, he said
of the Bay Bridge post, which
covers the heavy state and county
arteries in Ottawa and Erie coun
ties with only six men, four of
whom are on duty at any time
with two always off duty. These
four men are required to patro
the vast territory lying east ol
Sandusky to Vermilion and wes
as far as state route 500.
On the basis of population o1
comparable sizes of other states
such as Pennsylvania, Texas, Cali
fornia, Illinois and New York
Ohio has one patrolman for 18,
754 persons. Pennsylvania EN-
ployes a highway patrolman fol
each $500 population.
The Bay Bridge post has tn,
only marine service in the state
