Next came Hagerstown and if Lancaster oo-ald have handed out the same K. O. punch to this challenger, Lancaster would now be way out in the driver’s seat. Hagerstown, how_ ever, showed steady pitching and -timely hitting in the recent series with the Roses and are now virtually stepiping on the heels of the Roses and are accelerating their pace.
