the official vote is taken -Grit
fin will host the 1967 Southeast
ern Babe Ruth Tournament.
Griffin has everything but
official assurance from south
eastern Babe Ruth leaders that
the tournament will be held here
next year.
James Battiste, Southeastern
director, and states directors
from Florida, Georgia, Alabama
and South Carolina met in Grif
fin over the weekend and inspec
ted baseball and other facilities.
They were impressed with the
work being done on Babe Ruth
Field and agreed the renovation
should put it in tip-top condition.
Mr. Battiste and other leaders
were also impressed by motel,
hotel and restaurant accommo
dations available in Griffin.
The two-day Babe Ruth Lea
gue meeting was a workshop
for State Directors.
But, while in Griffin, the lea
ders inspected all phases of Gr
iffin’s bid for the Southeastern
Tournament. They were highly
complimentary of the city and
the playing facilities.
Whether Griffin is chosen as
the site of the 1967 Southeastern
Tournament will not be official
for several months.
The official vote will be taken
in August at the 1965 tourna
ment at Ft. Bragg, N. C.
‘‘Mr. Battiste kept saying he
would be coming here in 1967,”
Grady McCalmon of the Griffin
Recreation Department said to
day.
“We took this to mean that he
would support our bid for the
tournament.”
Mr. Battiste in addition to be
ing Southeastern Director, is al
so on the committee that will se-
lect the tournament site.
Mr. Bill Holleyfield, North
Carolina Director and a mem
her of International Baba Ruth
League Board, was impressed
with Griffin and all its facilities,

Milwaukee
Bid For Team
MILWAUKEE (UFI) —The
National League rejected Mil
waukee’s bid for a new
franchise for the 1966 season
because it was “a window
dressing application made in
support of litigation,” according
to President Walter O’Malley of
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“They didn’t know what the
devil it was all about,” said
O’Malley about the Milwaukee
Brewers, Inc., in a deposition
read into the record of
Wisconsin’s baseball antitrust
trial Monday. “They were ill
prepared to be considered to
operate a franchise.”
The state’s suit against the
Braves, the league and its
other teams charges the
defendants with conspiring to
boycott Milwaukee by illegal
use of baseball’s monopoly
power. The action seeks the
return of the Braves from
Atlanta unless Milwaukee is
given a new franchise for 1966.
The alleged boycott damages
Wisconsin economically and
recreationally, according to the
state.
The Brewers, formed by a
group of wealthy and influential
Wisconsin business and indus
trial executives to operate a
major league team in Milwauk
ee, were turned down in
December when they applied to
the National League for a
franchise.
It is the defense’s contention
the application was made in
bad faith only to be used in
connection with the prosectuion
of the state’s case.
Even though they wanted a
franchise for this year, O’Mal
ley said, the Brewers couldn’t
provide league owners with
answers to questions about
attendance, a farm system,
front office staff and player
salaries. They also had no
spring training camp, conces
sion or ticket arrangements, he
said.
BOXER DIES
SIDNEY (UP I)— Light
weight boxer Pat Casey died
Monday from brain injuries he
suffered last Wednesday in a
four-rounder here.
Casey, 21, was paid $16 for
the fight, which he lost on a
decision.

Players Chosen
For Two Teams
Players were chosen Monday
afternoon for the two teams to
compete Thursday night in the
intra-squad game to end Grif
fin High’s spring football prac
tice.
Coaches Russell Gray and Don
Warlick will direct the white
team. The green team will be
under the direction of coaches
Jim Moore and Henry Powers.
Coach Ormand Anderson said
two of the players, Willie Espa
na and Danny Clark, are injured
and will not play in Thursday
night’s contest.
Members of the two teams
are:
WHITE TEAM
Quarterbacks: Bob Robbins
and Donny Robison.
Tailbacks: Kerry Phillips and
James Black.
Wingbacks: Larry Campbell,
Joe Grubbs and David Hull.
Fullback: Jerry Parham,
Centers: Cooper Stanley and
Tommy Eidson.

les.
When he adds Aubrey West
moreland and Don Tinley to the
guard spots and Van Caswell at
tackle, the coach comes up with
good depth.
Bryans broke into Griffin’s
starting lineup early last year.
He started the last eight games.
Coach Anderson calls Bryans a
hard worker, eager and “t h e
most conscientious boy on the
team.”
Jimmy Rowe earned his bat
tle stripes last year as a line
backer. He is big enough to get
the job done, is real strong, and
reacts well.
“I believe Jimmy will be a
candidate for all-star recognition
this year,” Coach Anderson said.
Rowe is primarily a defensive
specialist but he might play
some on offense if pressured in
to service. If all of Griffin’s gu
ards stay healthy, Coach Ander
son wil! continue to use him as
a linebacker.

Willie Espana is another first
teamer from last year. Right
now Willie is sidelined with a
knee injury. But Coach Ander
son is still counting on him as a
starter on offense.
Coach Anderson carried Es

will check their injuries. Clark
has a broken finger.

ing,” the coach said.
Coach Anderson feels he has
four good tackles in Reeves, Jo
nes, Prater and Caswell.
Reeves started eight games
last year. He is big and strong.
Jones is another regular from
the 1965 season. He is strong,
very aggressive and good on of
fense as well as defense.
Prater is a utility lineman. He
has been a starter at guard and
tackle. Coach Anderson calls
Prater “our best hustler.” He
has good speed and a good atti
tude.
Caswell has come around in
spring practice. He is big, tough
and aggressive and Coach An
derson says he’ll play a lot this
fall.
Griffin fans will get a preview
of the Eagles Thursday night
when the varsity ends spring
practice with the annual intra
squad game, sponsored by the
Griffin Touchdown Club. The
game will begin at 7:30.
