Hagerstown Seeks Half Title With Martinsburg Showdown
Wertman and Gilbert still shoot for the Little Yanks in Chambersburg this afternoon. A win by Hagerstown or a Frederick loss would secure the first half, with standings showing Hagerstown at 36–22 and Frederick at 35–23. If Hagerstown sweeps and Frederick loses, the race tightens. a two-game Frederick sweep would shift the balance, and a tie triggers a playoff arranged by President J. V. Jamison as the teams enter the second half ahead of the September 7 championship meeting. In the Martinsburg game, Meola allowed six hits, while Gartland and Pytlak supplied Hagerstown’s offense, but Martinsburg stalled late as Hagerstown won 1–2.
