Mercer Baseball
Squad in Macon
Team Hard at Work in
Preparation for Contests
Monday and Tuesday
Mercer in Macon Monday and
Tuesday of next -veek is the next
series for Georgia’s Bulldogs, who
have won two collge games in five
starts during the past week.
Georgia has played four games in
the Dixie college league, of which
Mercer is a memoer. The Bulldogs
have won one game from Florida,
lost another to the ’Gators and
dropped two straight to Oglethorpe’s
Petrels.
The Bulldogs will be given a
chance to rehabilitate their stand
ing in the league in the two games
against Mercer's somewhat weak
Bears. Mercer is at the bottom of
the Dixie league, with two losses in
as many starts. Two victories over
Mercer would place Georgia up near
er the top of the league standing,
with a .500 percentage.

The Georgia team returned Wed
nesday morning from Atlanta, and
has practiced every afternoon dur
ing the past throe days. Rubber
games today and Saturday end the

ries. They leave Athens early Mon

Mott Is Famous
For the Unsual
Buster Mott, sophomore foot
ball and baseball star, has a
penchant for doing unusual
things.
Football fans remember that
Buster scored a touchdown the
first time he ran with the ball
in his college career.
Buster came to bat against
Maryland last Thursday in his
first appearance in a varsity
baseball game, with Austie
Downes perched on second
base. Mott singled sharply to
left field, sending Austie home
for Georgia’s first run of the
season.
Georgia Defeats
Florida in First
League Contest
Georgia’s baseball Bulldogs open
ed their Dixie college league season
by beating the Florida 'Gators 3-2,
at Gainesville last Friday, but lost
the final game of the series and took
two straight defeats from the Ogle
thorpe Petrels Monday and Tuesday
in Atlanta.
The Bulldogs got off to a garrison
start by handing Florida a lacing in
the opening game as Spurgeon Chan
dler held the ’Gators to four hits in
nine innings of smooth baseball. The
'Gators almost tied the count in the
ninth inning when Chandler pitched
wildly to Tate, allowing a 'Gator
player to take third with only one
out. Chandler struck out the next
batter and Tate caught the ’Gator off
third for the final out.
Florida Wins Second
Florida came back strong Satur
day to annex the second game by
reversing the score and winning 3-2.
Buster Mott, sophomore outfielder,
and Nicholson, Georgia hurler, star
red for the Bulldogs in the second
game. Mott hit safely twice in three
accredited times at bat, while Nich
olson pitched six-hit baseball and lost
by a nose.
Oglethorpe Unbeatable
Oglethorpe’s Stormy Petrels, col
lege champions of the South last
season, took two straight decisions
from the Bulldogs in Atlanta Mon

the short end of the road trip. The
scores of the two games were 12-9,

In Opening Game

an airtight defense, the Georgia base
ball team opened its 1931 season
here last Thursday by beating Mary
land 9-1 as two Bulldog hurlers lim
ited the Old Liners to six hits.
Kenny Hamilton and Rickey An
derson, sophomore hurlers, held the
Marylanders well in hand during
their first starts as Bulldog varsity
players. Hamilton gave up four
hits in six innings, and Anderson was
nicked for two in three frames.
Berger Again
Maryland got off to a running start
against the Bulldogs by scoring in
the first ining when Lewis Berger,
the lad who beat Georgia in the
conference basketball tournament,
doubled to score Derr for the only
Old Liner run. Buster Mott, Austie
Downes, Captain Cliff McGaughey and
Vernon Smith combined their batting
strength to score two runs in Geeor-
gia’s half of the first inning.

sixth innings enabled the Bulldogs to
overwhelm the Old Liners.

two were lost. The Bulldogs beat

14-0. Maryland beat the Bulldogs
20-3, and St. Johns, champions of
the nation last year, was able to
take the final game, 9-1. All three

rain that hampered the boys from
Georgia’s red clay hills.

starred for the Bulldogs against Vir
ginia, each getting three goals in a
hectic scoring spree staged by the
Georgians. Captain John Gunnells
and Red Waters did the only scoring
