Ewing Nips Rockets 3-2 in 12 Innings
O’Neill Club Handed First Reversal of the
Season in Holt League Play
By a Staff Writer
The big news of the week in baseball circles in these parts
was Ewing’s lampooning of the O'Neill Rockets 3-2. The Rockets
were all-victorious thus far in Holt county league play until they
met their Waterloo on the Ewing playground on Sunday, July 18.
Meanwhile. Paqe also took it on the chin, dropping a 5-8
decision to a visitinq Atkinson aggregation.
The Stuart-Chambers meeting wfas a no-show affair. In
Chambers where baseball hopes were high early in the season the
club officials couldn't muster 9 men for a scheduled game at
Stuart. Thus, Chambers was obliged to forfeit.
Ewing 3; O'Neill 2
EWING—The high-riding O’
Neill Rockets were jolted 3 2
by Ewing Sunday in their first
setback of the season in Holt
county league play. Twelve in
nings were required to settle
the dispute, which was waged
on more-or-less even terms un
til the decisive final frame.
The Rockets, who seldom
this season have scored less
than 10 points per game, tal
lied in the sixth and ninth in
nings.
Ewing bunched 3 hits in the
seventh, tying the game at 3
all. First Baseman A. Kropp
launched the Ewing seventh
inning spurt with a double.
Third Baseman R. Boelter
came up with a single, and
Second Baseman D. Jensen
singled, scoring Kropp and
Boelter.
k O'Neill came close to win
ning the game in the 10th
when Big Ed Schmidt, left
fielder, tried to stretch a
double into a triple and
was tagged in the process.
Center Fielder Darrell Bright
struckout, but First Baseman
Maynard Morrow singled.
Schmidt might have scored
the winning run if he had
been on base.
Ewing fashioned the winning
tally by capitalizing on O’Neill
misques. Jensen, first man up
in the 12th, got on by virtue
of an error on O’Neill’s
Schmidt, who roamed from left
field into deep center field to
take a fly but dropped the
ball. Right Fielder Sheets got
a single, advancing Jensen to
second. Clem Shrad, Ewing
pitcher, grounded to Pitcher
Danny Helmer, who wanted a
double-out but lacked cooper
ation at second. Consequently

everyone was safe. Shortstop
R. Bollwitt popped out to Hel
mer and Left Fielder V. Boll
witt flied out to First Base
man Morrow. Next man up,
Catcher J. Podany, turned the
trick. On 4 previous trips to
the plate, Mr. Helmer had set
him down via the strikeout
route. Not this time. He con
nected on a clean single that
brought Mr. Jensen in with
the winning tally.
The large crowd, comprised
mainly of Ewingites, went
wild.
The Schrad vs. Helmet
pitching duel was in the form
of a fast ball vs. a curve ball.
Schrad was gropving them in
high and through the middle
and Helmer was working hard
on his fast breaks.
Helmer struckout 16 and
Schrad set down 17.
Some of the Rockets were
unhappy with Earl Billings’
umpiring behind the plate, but
in no way did their grievenees
with the officials detract from
Schrad’s neat job of pitching.
