MARONICS HOMERS
WIN FOR JUNIORS
BY SCORE OF 6-3
Jitterbugs Are
Victorious In
Annual Classic
Steve Maronic slammed two
home runs yesterday afternoon,
batting in all the Junior tallies,
as the Jitterbugs licked the
Senior Sadists 6-3 in their an
nual senior week classic.
Maronic's big bat broke up an
otherwise tight pitching battle
between Pete Mullis and Fran
Gordon. The Juniors out hit the
Sadists 8 to 6.
The Juniors struck in the first
inning. After Jimmy Peacock
had grounded out to first base
man Woody Bass, third-baseman
Lester got the first of his three
singles. Brame followed with
another and Maronic slammed a
long drive to deep center to send
the Jitterbugs ahead 3-0.
Lester Singles
Again in the seventh, Lester
led off with a single. Brame got
an infield hit, and this time
Maronic drove one out the left
field foul line.
The Seniors scored first in the
sixth. Andy Bershak was safe on
a fielder's choice, stole second,
and scored on a clean double by
F. J. Blythe.
In the sixth, the Seniors tied
it up. Singles by Katz and Eh
ringhaus, who had replaced
Bass, and Joe Murnick's sacri
fice scored two runs as Catcher
Brame failed to catch Peacock's
throw from first.
After the game, the Jitter
bugs voted to give the gold base
ball watch charm to Steve Ma
ronic, and the Sadists selected F.
J. Blythe, who led the hitting for
the Seniors, gathering two for
three, one a double.
