He had a bit of trouble in the first three innings but aft er that kept the Silversox under control with nine strikeouts, one walk, one hit batsman and nine hits. Russ Stuart continued to shine in the field with a stop of a hard grounder back of second base with a snap throw to first as lo cal games. Milto Martin caught Joe Palmisano off first base in the third with a nice throw and Bill Adams backed deep for a flv also. The Rogues picked up three runs in the fourth stanza on sin gles by Don Williams, Al Bolen. Adams and Martin. Another trio crossed the plate in the sixth on by the umpire to "get" Wenat chee Manager Tommy Thomp son, the fans were finally dis persed by police after they pum meled Base Ump J. "Doc" Re gele as he made his way to the umpires' dressing room. Thr.at Voiced Before the start of the series between Wenatchee and Tri-City here Friday, Regele had said he was out to "get" Thompson, it was reported. He ejected the manager during the course of the game. In the final innings. Regele made numerous calls which gave Tri-City a decided edge, Radio Broadcaster Bob Robertson re ported. With the score tied 6-all in the ninth, Dick Faber of Tri-City hit a blooper to Second Baseman Buddy HJelmaa. Hjelmaa fielded the ball on the first bounce and tagged Artie Wilson as the run ner went by, Robertson said. Regele called Wilson safe, and two Tri-City runs were scored. Hjelmaa vociferously protest ed the decision and was thrown out of the game as pop bottles rained around the umpire. Runn.r 'Obviously' Out tarlier in the game, Robert son said, Regele called a runner safe on a play at third base as Wenatchee Third Sacker Don Fracchia "obviously" tagged the runner almost 10 feet from the sack on a throw from the out field. The out would have nipped a Tri-City roily two runs short of the five scored in the frame. In his broadcast, Robertson termed the game a "fiasco" and said everyone in the press row at Recreation park voiced their agreement. As the contest ended, with Tri-City winning 8-7, the fans poured out of the stands, throw ing pop bottles, seat cushions and rolled-tip newspapers. They swarmed around Regele and he had to fight his way through the Huong to reach the safety of the dressing room, Robertson added. The fans milled around under the stands, waiting for Regele to reappear before being dis persed by police. TO You, too, will enjoy smooth, sociable r ..... I THINK I'LL TRY IT, TOO...
