Hornig, Ross Rocklynne, Mario Racic, Jr., Hyman Tiger, Millie Taurasi. etc. Motion pictures of the game were taken by Will Sykora and already been displayed, once at a Queens SFL meeting and again at the second annual Philadelphia Science-Fiction Conference. Searles was outstanding in the pitcher's role. He was so terrible that the Panthers could not get a hit, and up to the moment when Searles hurt his wrist and had to be replaced at intervals by John Giunta (not that Giunta allowed all the runs---he certainly was a good relief pitcher).held them with barely a run. Every inning the Panthers loaded bases but could not concentrate their hits enough to come through in the pinches, A double play was scored each of the first three innings by the Queens Cometeers. Clever technicalities also frustrated the Panthers, The only home run of the game was scored by Art Widner. This was a weak hit that barely got out of the infieid, but the short center, Korshack, missed it and Widner got to first. Pete Racic threw wild to second base and Widner got to second. Taurasi missed a ball coming right toward him and Art 'got to third and home. A home run on errors! Other outstanding hits were Will Sykora's two bagger, a long center-field hit that was a surprise after poor showings the two previous times at bat. Moskowitz hit the longest hit of the game in center field, but Will too tired to get past second. Langley Searles netted five singles. Ray Van Houten struck out five times at bat to take some sort of record. Fielding was led by Julius Unger who was plain poison behind the plate. His hands were like glue. He caught impossible four tips and flies, and did not miss a reasonable ball all game (outside of Searles terrible-good pitching). The pitching was not only terrible, actually, but also good because it was too terrible to be hit effectively. Outside of that there were few other outstanding performances. After the game was over, the Panthers challenged the Cometeers to a second game, which the Cometeers emphatically declined, Though they won, the Cometeers were almost too exhausted to waIk after the game, They would have taken a horrible [missing word] if a second game had been played. No one could [missing words]
