WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 30, 1941 MIDDLETOWN HALTS JOHN HARRIS 20 Tom Shriver 0 says WHILE Harrisburg's baseball fans were gathered at the Penn Harris last night, dividing their attention between grand entertainment, and celebrities by the carload, it was my good fortune to be sitting next to the one and only Honus Wagner. Naturally the talk drifted to baseball, and the National League. Did Honus think the Reds would repeat, or did he have some other favorite? Questions that anyone would ask of a man who has given his life to baseball. His answers were interesting to say the least. "Brooklyn will win the pennant this year, with St.

Louis second, and Cincinnati third," declared the veteran coach of the Pittsburgh club. "The Dodgers have everything to win and nothing to lose, so they will play a more daring type of ball than Cincinnati. The Reds are in the same mental condition that caught the Yankees last year. They have won twice and it is hard to convince them that they have remained stationary while the other clubs have improved. "In Wyatt the Dodgers have one of the fastest pitchers in baseball," was Wagner's surprising declaration.

"When he is right he just breezes them past the batters. Higbe will help them, and Medwick should hit. The Dodgers are better than last year," added Honus. Then when he got up to talk to the assembled guests he presented a baseball problem that baffled a lot of the experts. He promised to give the answer today at the luncheon that Harry Banzhoff and his committee are holding at the Penn Harris at 12.15.

Most of the celebrities of last night's banquet are expected at today's luncheon. Plus such interesting talkers as Honus Wagner, Bill Benswanger, president of the Pittsburgh club, Jack Warden, president of the Senators, and Les Bell, the local manager, the speaker's table will be graced by my old friend J. V. Jamieson, who is pinch hitting for the Mayor of Hagerstown. Of course Mayor Milliken will be on hand.

He is now an avowed baseball fan, and did a fine thing last night when he gave up another engagement to come to the baseball banquet and pay his respects to Les Bell and his fine band of ball players. The Mayor made a real hit with the crowd, and proved to the satisfaction of all that Harrisburg does appreciate the deeds of its athletes, just as any town glories in triumphs on the part of its fellow townsmen. The luncheon is being put on by the combined civic clubs of this community, and if you have any civic pride you will dig down for the small price of admission, get a good meal, and be on hand to start the Senators off on the right foot in quest of this year's Inter State League pennant. A Splendid Banquet The first step in thi9 direction was taken last night at the banquet held in the ballroom of the Penn Harris. It was one of the finest affairs that it has been my good fortune to attend, and I have been to a lot of banquets in my travels around the sporting world.

In the first place Rus Tuckey, who did all of the work, while we baseball writers just shared in the glory of a successful evening, put on an entertainment program that was just about tops. Bob Fohl brought his show over for the occasion, and as might have been expected the fans were delighted. There were a lot of oh's and ah's as charming Dorothy Merrill stepped to the center of the stage to sing, "You got to be a Baseball Hero." At least one gay young blade of this town expressed a desire to know her better, and to my knowledge this is the first time he was ever interested in singing. Then Clyde McCoy took up where Fohl and his troupe left off, while one of the best numbers on the long program was the singing of the American Legion song stres. Yes, it was a fine banquet from the entertainment standpoint.

Jack Warden talked with an earnestness that should have been convincing to hte most skeptical, and Les Bell was so enthused with the reception accorded his players that he began to dream of pennants, and other glories that come to successful managers of baseball teams. O'Brien Gets Attention Pat O'Brien, the new catcher of the Senators received a lot of attention, and at least three phone calls were received in the sports department asking if he was the movie actor. Pat denied being related to the screen star, but seemed interested in the source of the phone calls. Then Dr. Smith remarked that the older generation often lives on dreams of the past, while the younger men are looking forward to visions of the future.

But Honus Wagner crossed him up by admitting that he still has visions every pay day, and even Bill Benswanger joined in the laughs. Altogether it was a successful evening, and on behalf of the Baseball Writers, our thanks go out to Mayor Milliken, to Russ Tuckey, and to everyone who helped make the banquet one that will long be remembered. Coach CasselPsNine Upsets Dope When Welsh Hits Timely Wallop Albright's Club Had Gone Through 26 Previous Games Without Loss By HAROLD HICKERNELL Middletown, April 30. A single by Jack Welsh with two men on base in the last half of the seventh inning, gave Ken Cassell's Middletown High nine a thrilling 5 4 victory over a previously undefeated John Harris High nine, yesterday afternoon at the Feaser diamond here. It was the first defeat for John Harris in 26 consecutive games.

The triumph enabled Middle town to tie Harris for the league leadership in the Central Penn Scholastic Baseball League. Both teams have won three and lost one to date. The game further established Jack Baumbach as Middletown's number one hurley. The husky built athlete, who started the sea son as the first string catcher, demonstrated his pitching ability as he limited the Harris batsmen to five well scattered hits. Baum bach's single in the last inning led to the winning run as he scored later on Welsh's safety into left field.

In the third inning he stole home to tie the score at 2 2. Equally brilliant on the mound was Lefty Rodgers, Coach Albright's starting hurler yesterday. The smooth working southpaw seemed invincible in the early innings as he struck out five straight Middletown batsmen and retired the sixth on a short pop to sec Harris, meanwhile, had gained a 2 0 lead in the opening inning. With two gone, Wileman walked and Wagner was safe on Steven's error. Rodgers then lifted a high fly to third which Welsh lost in the sun and both Harris runners scampered across home plate before the ball could be retrieved.

Middletown took the lead in the third when they tallied three! times. Frank Hill opened with uuuuic iu uccy Lcmci. nuu khs called out on strikes but Baum jat bach's roller to third was muffed the and Hill went to third and Baumbach pulled up safely at second. Frank Hahn's tap to first was muffed by Wileman and Hill scorea, caumoacn moving io xnira; and Hahn taking second on the miscue. Welsh hit a ground ball to third and all runners were safe when an attempt to trap Baumbach between third and home resulted in another Harris error when Louder dropped the throw.

With Stevens at bat Baumbach stole home to tie the score as Hahn and Welsh advanced to third and second. Stevens then drove a long fly ball to center and Hahn scored the third run of the inning after the catch. Aderholt struck out to end the inning. Middletown scored again in the fourth with two out. HuTs drive to shortstop was muffed and Plott drew a walk to put runners on first end second.

Baumbach then lifted a fly ball to deep second which was dropped by Shay and Hill crossed the plate with the fourth run of the game. Harris tied the score in their, half of the seventh. With one man out, Shay drew a walk and scored as Wileman drove a triple into deep left. Wagner popped to Welsh for the second out but Harris tied the score when Lefty Rodgers drove a hard single over second to send Wileman home with the tying run. Middletown tallied the winning run in their half of the last inning.

Baumbach led off with a single and Hahn's bunt was muffed by Wagner, who was sent to the pitching mound at the start of the inning to replace Rodgers. Baumbach and Hahn executed a double steal and the game ended when Welsh singled to left to score Baumbach.

Brandt on Hill In Loop Opener Harrisburg Ushers in New Season With Hagerstown as Opposition The Harrisburg Senators officially open the Interstate League season this afternoon on Island Park when Manager Les Bell sends his new right hander, William Brandt, to the hill to face the Hagerstown Owls in a game that has been built up to a point where it is almost a classic. Following a banquet last night, the players of both clubs assembled at noon today for a testimonial luncheon, and then both teams adjourned to the ball park for the customary march to the flag pole, and all that goes to make an opener a colorful event.

Harrisburg takes the field this year with a brand new outfield, a new second baseman, a new catcher, and a few new pitchers. To add to the freshness of the occasion there is a new spirit of confidence being shown by the players, and if the fans turn over a new leaf and patronize the club this year, then everything will be just lovely. Only three of last year's regulars have been able to retain starting Dosts this season. "Doc" Greene is back at first, Billy Cox at snort, ana tsiiiy rioman is third. Of these three Cox was only man who started last years season.

Hagerstown is a newcomer to the league this year, having ob tained the franchise held at Sun bury last season. Its team will also be considerably different from the one Sunbury presented last year. It is expected that, besides McMullen, there will be three players in the starting lineup today who were with the Sun bury Indians last season. They are Manager Dorman, third base; Carl McNabb, second base, and Ty Kramer, left field. HEADS TRACK MEET Connellsville, April 30, (IP).

Frank Saksek, twirling for the Hershey nine, turned in an excellent job as he limited the Swatara squad to four widely scattered hits and fanned no less than nine of the opposing batters. One of the features of the ball game was a hard running catch on the part of Rojas, the Hershey right fielder, who raced far across the outfield to bring down a long drive by Ricci in the third inning. Rojas also did his part at bat, with two safe blows, one a double, in his only two official trips to the plate.

The game was hard fought at the outset, with the home team holding a slim 2 to 1 lead until the fifth inning when another tally crossed the plate. Then in the sitth the Hershey lads clinched the game with two more tallies that completed their scoring for the afternoon. Hershey Ind.

Reed held his rivals to a pair of hits and a like number of runs. The other game in the league found Thompsontown High out scoring the Juniata Joint High Reserves 28 to 13 in a game that was a hitters' holiday as the two teams rapped out thirty six hits good for forty one runs.

The total runs and hits for the day for the league comes to the tremendous total of sixty two runs on fifty five hits, including seven doubles, six triples and seven homeruns. Reed's pitching enabled his club to go into undisputed possession of second place in the league. Millerstown scored in every inning with nine runs coming home in the big fourth inning. Reed meanwhile was limiting the Fayette team to two hits and struck out eighteen hitters. The Thompsontown and Juniata Joint game was one of those let see who can outscore who games, with Thompsontown on the long end of the score.

Juniata jumped into the lead with a nine splurge in the first two innings, only to have their opponents score four in the third, twelve in the fourth, seven more in the fifth, only one in the sixth and four more in the seventh. Juniata, meanwhile, getting a pair each in the fourth and sixth innings. Fayette Two. I Millerstown ab a ab a Nace.lf 3 0 0 2 OiReed.p Hibbs.3b 3 0 0 4 0 Miller.c. 2 1 0 4 0 J.Harris.rf Shirk.cf.p.

Susquehanna In Lower Dauphin League Lower Paxton Also Chalks Up Victory in Initial Test as Leroy Jones Hurls Fine Ball to Nose Out Highspire Rival, 5 4 Airtight twirling featured the opening games in the Lower Dauphin County League yesterday as the Susquehanna and Lower Paxton High School teams topped their rivals in two well played games. Coach Ernie Beckley's Susquehanna team registered an 8 to 2 win over the invading Hummelstown High combination behind the brilliant twirling of Carl Westhafer, who yielded only one hit and struck out 12 rival batsmen.

Susquehanna spotted Hummels town two markers in the second frame, knotted the count in the third, took the lead in the fourth and then iced the game with a four run rally in the sixth inning in a scoring surge that featured Lykens Winner In Close Game; Halifax Wins Lykens and Halifax High's fast moving baseball teams both scored wins yesterday to maintain their unblemished records at the top of the upper and lower divisions, respectively, in the Upper Dauphin County Scholastic League. In the other battles yesterday Williamstown swamped Wiconisco, 8 to 0, and Millersburg ontbatted Berrysburg to register en 11 to 8 decision. At Gratz the strong Lykens club bunched its hits in the third, fourth and fifth frames to run up a 4 to 0 lead but the homesters whittled away at the rate of one run a frame and barely missed knotting the score in the final frame. Williams put an end to Gratz's rally by fanning the last two batters. Bob Shutt turned in a one hit performance against Wiconisco as his mates on the Williamstown club banked out a total of 12 hits to win easily.

Shutt also contrib uted to the scoring by driving out three hits, including a homer. Zer bish and Frantz also homered. Enjoying a batting holiday at the expense of Elizabethville's twirlers, Halifax posted a 15 in the hit column to gain a top heavy 13 to 2 win over the host Eliz abethville team. Corsnitz led the hit parade with four hits in five appearances. Millersburg and Berrysburg both scored heavily with the assistance of ragged fielding but the former's six runs in the opening frame proved too much for the homesters to overcome.

Warfel's three hits featured Millersburg's 11 hit at tack. Lykens I Gratz ab ab a 4 112 3iShade.ss. 2 1111 Matter.c. 3 0 0 11 l.H'nger.lf 4 0 2 2 0 4 1 0 5 0 Witmer.3b 2 0 0 0 1 Kehler.cf 4 1 2 0 4 1111 Brauer.3b 3 0 1 0 0 Coleman.lb 3 0 2 10 0 3 2 OHepler.c... 4 0 14 3 Johns.lf...

Breckenmaker, Hummelstown's chucker, struck out 11 but pitched the wrong ball with runners aboard.

At Highspire, Colm and Jones hooked up in a pitching duel with the latter holding an edge and personally scoring the winning tally in the final frame as his Lower Paxton club edged out the homesters, 5 to 4. Both twirlers were given good support in this interesting tilt. Jones, who struck out 12 and kept his rivals' six hits scattered, tripled in the seventh and then tallied the winning marker when Morris dropped a single to right field. Leonard homered for Highspire in the sixth with one on base. Susquehanna I Hummelstown ab al ab a Rudy.ss..
