Young Tom Nelson was on the i —■ ew cnillTFSTS IT LIKE Only aeven hits were made |*ff UUII I LU I U J1 I LnllL him. Six of these came in the J first four innings. The visitor: hunched three of their hits in the pacond inning for their only score ‘ Georgia's hitting p<i Its high tide Saturday and Includ t*d In the thirteen hits were a horn- run by Haney Walker, and a tripl and double by Ramsey and Alien respectively. Ramsey crashed four hits in five trips. HO STARS OUTSTANDING There was no fielding of a sen- national order, but both clubs play- •d steadily afield, good clean aWAtting accounting for almost tvery tally. In the ninth inning the Bulldogs combined three pass es and two hits to score four runs. There were no outstanding stars fn the Center Hill lineup, only four ground balls being handled by , thero^nll afternoon. Akerldgo iras the only man in their lineup to hit aately more than once. DeLacy Allen was right lively With the stick yesterday. If yoc ask us. The scrapping leftfielder, infielder, ns you will, pasted the ball for three safeties, one of which was a screaming double that shook Mr. Pitcher Schmidt to his foundations. Renter 'Hill set out to take the bn con back to Atlanta early, They drew first blood, did these hill boys, when Pell's single in the •gcond was follpwed by two hits with a sacrifice opportunely sand wiched In. And then they fought and . perspired, roared and tugged, to follow up their advantage. But '‘Hatless" Nelson, the hero Of our piece, had come into hi/ e, aa it were, aftgr that Salvo of Center Hill blnglea In the sec ond. At that the Atlantlana might have dented the rubber again but for rather stupid work on the paths. Local Water Experts Carry Off Prizes in Con tests Friday Afternoon. Others Soon.

The game wns slow and full of errors and thrills, os the game wa« called at the gnd of the third In ning on account of dnrkness. The contest began at 7:00 o'clock p. and long before the hour set for the fireworks to open a large crowd through curiosity had gathered to see the School Ma'ms' toss the ol<' pill across the plats. In spite of the fact thnt two other games were being played in Athens an unusua’ large crowd thronged to the com- |ius to witness a new type of base ball players. Never before In the history of the University has a game of the national sport been played on the campus by the femnle tribe. Though In spite of all this every spectator got hts money’s worth.

PLAVED ALL OVER DROVE The Normalities could not only slug the old pill but they could piny In the field ae well. Mist Ingram of Cordele, Go., the female South Paw, tossed them over for the visitors.

Catcher Williamson Second Base Belcher B*nk» V Left Field Bailey ..I Smith Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler fight for the lightweight cham pionship of the world, Monday night, at the Yankee Stadium in New York City. Leonard, the champion, still a young man, but a veteran of the ring game meets the southpaw fighter from Philadelphia In a twelve round battle to a decision. If the fighters weigh in at 125 pounds or more, Leonard will win, possibly by a knockout. If the weight Is below 135 Tendler will win and also possibly by-a knock out. The fight should be a corker and draw a huge crowd* as Leonard and Tendler hate each fther. This Is not a public “grudge fight.” They mean It. Leonard, the master boxer and leader In ring generalship, still packing a knockout wallop In either hand will enter the ring at about a two to one favorite over Tendler. (Possibly it Is not understood why the question of the weights of the two boxers was raised In the first paragraph. When Tendlor and Leonard fought before, Leonard made the presort'ed 133 pounds and almost lost his title, according to the rlng- slders, by so doing. Leonard for the past several years, has had trouble making 133 pounds, and when he does, hia fighHng strength ts sapped. It would be much tetter for SikI to have his picture taken giv ing a few sous to a gro^p of emne- ulated children, if ho edsires pub licity—even If he took them away ns soon as the camera snapped.

There are at least six fighters ho can whip SIkl within ten rounds* and then put up a better fight against Dempsey than Sik! could. It would really he a blessing If some good American fighter would go to France and stop the bray ing of this jackass by knocking him Into the English Channel. He is the only fighter in the world we would like to see John ny Wilson* alleged middleweight champion whip. 1 MACON YOUTH WINS STATE AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP SAT.
