Bulldogs Engage Petrels Here Today and Tomorrow For the first time in two years the Georgia baseball team meets the Oglethorpe Petrels, opening a two- game series here this afternoon. The second game will be played on Sanford field Saturday. The Bulldogs lost their second conference game of the year to the Auburn Tigers here Tuesday, but made a clean sweep of the Tennessee series last week-end and maintained their lead in the conference stand ing. t Oglethorpe has had a successful year in baseball, having defeated sev eral conference teams, including Tennessee and Kentucky. The Pe trels have had little trouble in the S. I. A. A. and at present are lead ing. Coach Frank Anderson has a well balanced team, with good pitch ing and heavy batting, and the contests with Georgia are expected to prove interesting. Coach Bill White’s pitching choices for the game are uncertain, but it is probable that Jack Waller and Lefty Stewart or Bill Parks will do mound duty against the Atlantans. Waller was picked to pitch the second Au burn game, which was rained out, so he looks like today’s pitcher. Following the Oglethorpe games, the Bulldogs will have a week of rest before the first two Tech games, which will be played Friday and Saturday of next week. The high light of the season will be reached when Tech and Georgia meet. The four games scheduled with the Yel low Jackets wind up the Bulldog’s season.
