Heurieh Likely 10 Add
To Series Lead Today;
FBI Routs Lincoln m |
By Bill Fuchs

The Heurich Brewers, who have
won more Washington sandlot
baseball titles than any other
club, already find themselves in
the drivers seat for at least the
first week of the current double
knockout tournament.
Only a miracle or some Sleight-
of-hand by Manager John Henry
Jones of the Lincoln AC will keep
the Brewers from having a 20
record by nightfall tomorrow.
Lincoln isn't going anywhere. if
yesterdays 22-2 rout by FBI is
any indication. The Herson Psn-
theirs managed to hold the Brew
ers to a 90 win.
The Brewers get an edge in
this first week of play partly
through the schedule. While their
next opponent is team that was
outhit. 1877. yesterday by the G.
Men, both the G-Men and Silver
Hill have to face Haley's Dodges
this week.
Silver Hill meets Haley's at 4:30
pm. today on the South Ellipse,
while Atchison and Keller and the
Black Sox meet on the West
Ellipse. FBI comes up against
the Dodges Friday. when Silver
Hill will play the Black Sox.
Royals Are Highly Rated.
Tomorrow's schedule has Used
Car Dealers meeting the Royals,
considered the best of the four
Negro teams in the tournament,
on the South Ellipse and the
Brewers meeting Lincoln ON the
West field.
The Dodges went unbeaten in
sweeping the Second-half title of
the Anacostia Recreation League.
They won't be favored against
Silver Hill or FBI, but their
chances of winning one of the
two games are good. They've
been looking too good to get
knocked out in two games.
Pepco Barry. the Brewer man.
ager, now has pitching staff.
Charley Hiden is back from his
vacation Che missed the Industrial
League playoff with Silver HID ;,
Billy Cams leg is healing and
Lou Snouffer is living up to ex-
pectations.
Snouffer. the former Western
High School star, did not perform
with the Brewers in the f1rst-half
play of the Industrial League and
Barry was reluctant to use him
the second half.
I've regretted that" Barry says
now. He looked great in the
Silver Hill playoffs. That's why
I started him against the PAN
thers."
Snouffer pitched the first six
innings against the Panthers and
gave up four hits. The Veteran
Brother Love, still one of the bet
ter pitchers in this area, finished,
giving up one hit.
Brewers Get Early Start.
The Brewers got two runs in the
second on John Harvell's hit, a
wild throw by Second -baseman
Ronald McNeal, Max Goes hit and
f1elder's choice, added another
In the third on three walks and an
error and three in the fourth on
Whitley EmSweller's hit, a hit bats
man and two more errors. They
added single runs in the sixth,
seventh and eighth innings. Coe
got three hits in five trips. Joe
Murphy, 2 for 2, and Ralph
Cooper, l for 8.
FBI ran up 21-0 count on Lin
coin in the first five innings. Man.
ager Jones had trouble getting his
team together. James Ashton, the
catcher, didn't show up until the
sixth inning. so Jones had to put
First Baseman Frank Vincent be-
hind the plate and Joe Brown, who
had little use of an arm he in
jured playing softball, on first.
The early starting time-regular
season games began an hour later
confused some of the players.
