Frederick will call on the same
lineup that has spanked them to
a End place position as they meet
Harrington in the opener of their
Semi-Final Series. Buddy Kimmel.
Ken McClamrOck, and Roy Kemp
will be set for mound work while
veteran Jim Postles will be ready
to go as a starter or in relief. a
job he has done to projection
throughout the season. Del Brown
and Charley POstles will handle
the work behind the plate. Teke
GOttOrf, League leading batter,
will be at the initial sack for
Frederick, Teddy Evans at End.
George ManlOve, short, and Jim
Bradford, at 3rd. AL Brown will be
stationed in left with Bobby Glib
son in center and Jay Widdoes in
right. HarringtOn's mound starter
is in question but Harry Barrett
is strong possibility although
Charley Riley or Jim Cubbage
could get the nod. Leon Wix will
call the Harrington pitches behind
the plate. Jack Swain, Bill Melvin,
Bill Morris and Sam Mathews will
line up from 1st to 3rd for Har-
ringtOn. Dickie Brown, Jim Cub
bage and Charley Riley loom as
the starting Outfield if Barrett is
on the mound. Wayne Brown may
also see a starting role in the out
field with Russ McCready break
ing in the infield.
The Semi-Final Series looms as
a tOss-up with anyone of the four
teams dangerous. All the teams
are looking for a break that could
pull them through.
In the final games last Sunday,
Berry posted his 7th win without
a setback as he kept Harrington's
z hits behind gilt edge support,
well scattered to give Wyoming a
II to 3 win over Harrington. The
score became one sided in the 8th
as Wyoming rallied for runs.
Harry Barrett went the distance
for Harrington and was raped for
13 bingles. Gene hartman led the
winners barrage with three singles
and a triple. Charley Riley with
2 one base taps and Jim Cubbage's
double topped Harrington.
Viola gave Frederick a real
scare before bowling 8 to 7 in a
we'll played game. Viola took an
early to / lead as Ken McClam-
rock had trouble getting the ball
across. Jim Postles relieved in the
2nd. Frederick came back to take
a to 4 lead off Freddie Frear.
Viola found the range in the 9Th
for runs to go out in front Z
to 6. Buck Semans took the mound
for Viola in the bottom of the 9th
and ran into trouble. He loaded the
sacks on two walks and a single
to set the stage for Roy Kemp's
game winning double. Bobby Glib
son had three singles for Fred
erica while Merv Kersey raped
out two for Viola.

field a 1913 winner over Harring-
ton 1T was the first time in 13
years of operation by the veteran
Mar-Del Circuit that any team had
went through a regular season un-

British Bittern.

Our American bittern has a very
interesting cousin in England, which
is O resident of the reed beds and
marshy areas where ground has
been drained and reclaimed for
agricultural purposes.
In some parts Of Norfolk the Bit
tern has come to claim as his own
for nesting purposes the large
stretches Of water known as the
Broads, situated close to the sea and
easily reached by migrating birds.
These Breads are surrounded by
great reed beds where the bittern
has come to feel there is privacy and
protection.
Historically the bittern has been
known through the ages and was
always considered q royal dish.
There was an ancient law that made
it criminal offense to kill bird
in the marshes around Ealing.
When you first hear the bomb"
of the bittern and its distressing
SOS you think you hear q sick
COW. However, there is always some
one to inform you an old bittern is
establishing home.
Reeds are matted down to form
d platform above the water. Four
to six buff -colored eggs is the usual
clutch. After the first egg, others
are added on alternate days. Nat

Natures Children
By Lillian Cox Athey

urally the youngsters are several
days apart. The fuzzy headdress
and downy coat is more like halo
than protective covering. The
mother comes in with the food in her
bill to be greeted by hungry babies
who grip the bill crosswise as they
feed. After feeding time, the
mother sits and listens with her
head pointing skyward. She is a
watchful, loving parent.
Bittern young thrive on predi-
gested EEL which is the main food
of the parents. The bittern Is one
of the most expert eel catchers in
the world. The bird takes at least
an hour to clean her plumage Of the
Shiny mess the eel spreads while
thrashing about to gain its freedom.
