GEORGIA WINS
FIRST GAME, 3-0
Playing perfect baseball afield,
the University of Georgia baseball
nine opened its season on Sanford
Field Friday afternoon with a 3
to 0 victory over the Mercer
Bears. ;
Coach Willlam P, White pulled
the unexpected and started a soph
omore southpaw, G. T. “Lefty”
Simpson, and trotted out another
gophomere, Spurgeon Chandler,
after the first four Innings. Both
hurlers performed admirably. The
former gave up but one hit in his
four-inning debut, and Chandler
held the Bears to four well scat
tered hits in five innings.
Georgia scored first in the
third. With two out Roy Day, third
baseman, singied over third base.
Cliff McGaughey, shortstop, then
proceeded to slam a double, scor
ing Day. Austin Downs went out
at first to end the inning.
The two other runs came in the
sixth. McGaughey led off with a
gingle, went to third when Kirk
land, Mercer rightfielder, made
the first and only error of the
game by letting the ball slip under
him. Downs lifted a sacrifice fly
to centerfie.d to score McGaughey.
Rothstein, next up, singled
through the box, stole second as
the second baseman dropped the
catcher’'s throw. Vernon Smith
fanned, but Brick Davenport, sec.
ond baseman, singled to score
Rathstein. Davenport went to sec
ond on a balk on Luke Stapleton,
Mercer hurler, but Murdock went
out at first.
despite the chilly temperature.
and the fact that it was the first
game of the season, play was ex
ceptionally good by both teams.
The game was over in one hour
and thirty-five minutes. Stapleton
gave up only eight hits to Georgia
batters, and his backers played
good ball in the fleld.

THE
SIFTER
BY VALCO LYLE
The opening bhaseball game on
Sanford Field Friday afternocon
was not without its usual oddities.
Kirkland, Mercer rightfielder,
tried to dodge one of Chandler's
fast ones, and his bat hit the ball
as he turned and ‘“squatted’ away
from the plate. The ball rolled
about four feet down the third
base line and remained inside.
Umpire Tommy Philpot, caught a
little “off balance” himself, called
“fair ball,” while Captain Harry
Ggoman, catcher, and Kirkland
stood at the platter hesitating as
to what action to take. The Mor
cer man finally started for first,
but Gorman tagged him out.
A Mercer batter hit a high
infied fly about mid-way be
tween third base and shortstop
territory. Roy Day set himsell
to catch it, somebody yelled
for Cliff McGaughey, shortstop,
to catch it, and both of them
stood “stuck” while the ball
hit the ground, and the Mer
cer man went to first base—
and the scorekeepers were
obliged to mark a “hit” for the
lucky Bear player.
Coach Bill® White's sophomore
hurlers did credit to themselves
Friday afternoon, Lefty Simpson,
former Washington High athlete,
started the game, and gave up but
one hit in four innings. Spurgeon
Chandler, former Carnesvi.le High
product, and Bulldog halfback ‘ast

giving up fmbx; hits, and keeping
them well stattered.

Fertilizer, Seed
And Feed Loans
"To Be Available
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Feder
al officials in charge of the seed,
feed and fertilizer loan office at
Columbia, 8. C., will be in posi
tion next week to receive applica
tions from farmers for these
loans. \ A
Information to this effect was
given Senator Walter F. George
of Georgia, by Dr. C. W. Warbur
ton, divector of extension service
of the Department of Agriculture
who called upon the Georgia sen
ator to discuss these loans.
Dr. Warburton was accompan
ied by L, E. White, who last year
handled and who will again this
year handle the seed, feed and
fertilizer loauns in the southeast
from the oifice in Columbia, S. C.
Farmers who suffered from
storm and flood damage last year
and who desire seed, feed and
fertilizer loans, should, Senator
George says, write for applica
tion blanks to L. E, White, direc
tor, federal seed, feed and ferti
lizer loan office, Columbia, 8. C.
Senator George expressed the
ho»e that the loans in Georgia
would net be greatly decreased
by reason of the fact that several
western states are to particivate
in the loans from $6,000,000 ap
propriation,
“Dr, Warburton and Mr
White,” Senator George said,
“aporeciate the disadvantags to
Georgia farmers due to the delay
in the passage of the bill, but 1
am assured that every effurt will
be made to take care of she bor
r~wers so far as the money ap
propriated will permis, although
in many instancee the farmers
may have made temporary ar
rangement to obtdin fertilizer.”
