Gently joined the Sunbury club, was

the catching
1t was "Fairchild Employees Night
Out" with all the employees who
were not on duty being the guests of
the Fairchild management and they
all had a royal time. Prior to the
game there were a number of con-
tests for the Hagerstown and Sun
bury players, the winners of which
received valuable prizes with the
compliments of the Fairchild man
agement and in addition to that,
number of OF Der valuable prizes
were awarded the players on the Ha-
gerstown squad during the process
of the game.
Eugene Raney, owner of the club;
Rufus Edwards, general manager,
and Dutch Dorman, field manager
were also honored by the Fairchild
group, each of them being presented
with a handsome gift The ladies
were not forgotten either, as Mrs.
Raney, Mrs. Dorman and Mrs. Ed
wards who were each presented with
beautiful corsage.
The Braves wrapped the game up
in the second frame when twelve
men went to bat and they scored 7
of their 8 runs.
Concannon, the first man up, was
safe at first on the shortstop's error
and moved to second on a passed
ball. Hersom walked and both run
ners then advanced base on another
passed ball Andy Bush followed
with single to left, scoring Con-
cannon and Hersom. Jaderlund was
up next and he forced Bush at sec
ond, but linn drew a base on balls.
Riddle, the next batter, hit Texas
leagurer to left, but it looked as if
Veal, the leftfelder who came in
fast, was going to make shoe string
catch and as the result both runners
had to hold up and then, when the
ball dropped in front of Veal, the
best they could do was to move up a
base leaving the sacks loaded. Jor-
dan then got the third walk of the
inning forcing Jaderlund across the
plate with the third run and leaving
the sacks still occupied. Loos then
put the game on ice by smacking a
double to left clearing the bases.
That was all for Bass and West
went to the mound Concannon, up
for the second time in the inning,
was the first man to face him and he
singled to left, scoring Loos with
the seventh run. Hersom kept the
rally going by beating out a slow
roller to second, but the inning end
ed when Bush, the 18th man to bat,
took third called strike.
The Braves eighth and final run
came in the seventh when Buck Rid
die hit one over the leftfield wall
with the sacks empty.
Andy Bush, who had coasted
through the first seven innings, gave
up the Giants only two runs in the
eighth. Williams, the first man up,
was safe on Concannon's error and he
went to second on Vests single to
center. Cooney came right behind
him with another single to the same
spot, scoring Williams, with West
stopping at second. Frankie walked,
filling the bases, but Letter flied to
short left for the first out with the
runners holding. Romeo then forced
Frankie at second, with West scoring
the second and final run on the play,
as the inning ended when Bush
struck out Bailey to retire the side.
