11l South Hill Street — Griffin, Georgia
One of the three once beaten
teams left — Charlotte, DeKalb
Memorial and Alabama — must
come up with a miracle here
Saturday to prevent Tennessee
from making the trip north to
Fairbanks, Alaska and the World
Series.
Charlotte, Mobile and DeKalb
Memorial play today to see whi
ch one faces the fine team from
Nashville Saturday in the finals.
Today's action begins at 2 p.
m. with Mobile, Ala. playing
Charlotte. The winner plays De-
Kalb Memorial at 7 p.m. The
winner of the night game takes
on Nashville Saturday at 2 p.m.
If necessary, a second game
will be played Saturday at 7
p.m.
Two teams were eliminated
Thursday.
Mobile defeated Sarasota 4-1
to send the Florida nine pack
ing.
Charlotte shutout Griffin 7-0
to kill the local Babe Ruthers’
hopes of making the trip to Al
aska.
MOBILE
Mobile, Ala. jumped into con
tention Thursday by beating Sa
rasota and its hard-throwing
righthander, Dave Bewley.
Bewley, who struckout 18 Grif
fin batters Tuesday night, didn’t
alarm the Alabama squad.
Mobile rapped out six hits off
the Florida flame-thrower, in
cluding a home run by Russell
Burns, the winning pitcher, and
a two-run double by Harry Will
iams.
Bewley struckout five of the
first eight batters he faced. Af
ter registering four strike outs 1
in a row, Burns swung into a j
fast ball and sent it soaring out'
of Babe Ruth Park.
That hit was Bewley’s down-J
fall.
Bruce May led off the third
with a single. Andrew Smith
struckout. Price Thomas sing
led. Williams doubled in two
runs. He reached third on a pass
ball and stole home. That gave
Mobile a 4-0 lead.
Dave Harmon cut the gap to
4-1 in the bottom of the fourth
with a solo home run. That was
Florida’- only hit off Burns, who
struckout seven and walked six.
NASHVILLE
Tire Nashville-DeKalb game
was expected to develop into a
toe-to-toe battle. It didn’t.
Nashville scored seven runs
before the Georgians went to
bat. The seven run rally in the
first was too much for DeKalb
to overcome.
Butch Stinson, who is rated
one of the best players in the
tournament, pitched five innings
of no-hit ball.
H. F. Reagan spoiled his bid
for a no-hitter with a single in
the sixth.
Nashville sent 11 batters to the
plate in the first. Five of them
hit safely. Two others walked
and one was hit by a pitch.
The rally started with Ji m
Carson drawing a walk.
Harold Boone singled. Butch
Stinson singled to load the bas
es. Robert Hendrickson hit into
a fielder’s choice. Ronnie Perry
doubled in two runs and he and
Hendrickson scored on a throw
ing error. That gave Nashville
a 4-0 lead.
The inning was not over.
Tommy Davis walked. Joe Spi
va singled. Mike Gooch singled

South Beats North
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) —

touchdown Thursday night to
give the South a 7-0 victory
over the North in the annual
Georgia All-Star’s game.
The South marched 68 yards
in 17 plays in the third quar

sweep the All-Star combat for

ball team whipped the North
