All of the boys returned home

making the team, but they
didn’t quite succeed. They all
probably need a little more ex-

Plantz To Leave
Steve Plantz, popular Big State
league umpire who has been liv-
ing here, told us the other day
that he was set to go back to his
home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
for the winter.
The solidly-built ball and strike
caller was a’former Owl catcher
and all Gainesville fans enjoyed
it very much when he became a
man in blue in the Class B league.
Each time that he officiated a I
game at Locke field, the local
fans gave him a fine round of
applause for his effort.
He started late in the season,
but the rookie official became one
of the best umps in the league
by the time the year ended.
Steve was a very disappointed
man when he found that he
•Base Knocks
. Roy’s tremendous attack
really paced the Owls to their
win, but Roger Isringhaus and
Windy Donaldson helped out
with two safe hits apiece.
Donaldson and Isringhaus
each got a double, while Lon
Goldstein thundered out a two-
bagger out of three tries.
Bob Hyatt slashed out with
a single to make up the total
of nine safeties for the locals.
We hope they can dish out a
little more of the same tonight,
when the minions of Hack
Miller invade the Locke field
domain of the Owls.
Field In Shape
Workmen worked from late
Wednesday on into the night
Thursday to get the field in shape
for the Owls tonight.
We went by the field yesterday
afternoon and watched the men
in action. Although the outfield
grass was torn up a bit, the dia-
mond should be in good shape
for the tussle tonight.
The men even made some im-
provements on the field. There
was a slight ridge, between the
infield and the outfield grass and
it caused many balls to take a
big bounce. Workmen cut down
that ridge and made the infield a
lot smoother.
The men also filled in many of
the low places in the outfield and
infield and then rolled the turf
to smooth things out.
We imagine everything will be
okay for the big game tonight.
• Big Crowd
There should be an overflow
crowd on hand for the conflict
tonight. Local fans have waited
a long time for the Owls to get
in the playoffs, and now that
they have, we are sure they
will back them to the utmost.
The 3,000 seats in Locke field
should creak under the weight
of a packed house.
If tonight’s game doesn’t
bring out the fans, we don’t
believe anything will.
It is probably Clarence
(Hooks) lott’s time to pitch to-
night. If the big southpaw is
right, the Hooters should make
it 2 to 1 in their favor in the
playoffs.
Hooks will go into the game,
boasting a nine win and seven
loss record for the season of
play.

Peterson threw wildly to first in fanned for Schmidt
in the backfield of the Chicago
Cardinals. Walker, former SMU
hero, plays with their detroit
Lions.
Their battle may overshadow
the team battle.
Proceeds of the game go to the
children’s hospital.

gets back to his old stomping

work in a steel mill this winter.
He’ll keep in practice for um-

Roy Sanner has five bingles out
of eight attempts for a .625 slate
and Windy Donaldson has five
safeties out of nine tries for .556.
Roger Isringhaus has two for
five for .400 and George Corona
managed for three for 10 for a
.300 mark. Bob (Lightning) Hyatt
has tagged two hits out of seven
trips to the plate for a .286 per-

Harry Scherting and Charley
Schmidt haven’t hit as well in
the two games as they are cap-
able of. They both have gotten
only one hit out of nine attempts.
That’s a slim .111 average.
Maybe all of them will raise

Hair Comes Through
Bill Hair, the Owl pitcher who has hurled all over the country
this season, pulled the Hooters out of a hole last night and evened
up the Big State league Shaughnessy playoffs with the Wichita Falls
Spudders.
Brilliant Bill started the season with Dallas ,came back to
Gainesville, went to Jacksonville, came back to the Owls, went to
Chickasha and finally came back to the Hooters to become the ace
of the local pitching corps.
■ Last night s performance was an example of the fine way in
which Hair has come through for the local club. The win was a very
important one for the Birds, for it put them back on an even keel
with the Spudders.
Bill had a season record, with the Owls, of 12 wins and three
losses. He won seven and lost one with Jacksonville and Chickasha
and now the playoff win gives him a total of 20 pitching wins this
season. °
or That's a good record no matter what team a pitcher is chunking
Wild William didn’t win the game by himself last night. He had
plenty of help from his mates, particularly Roy Sanner Big Roy
Slapped out two doubles and a home run out of three trips to the
plate. ----------------------
