Franks Offers Wrestling Tomorrow
Fine Games Carded for Two Leagues Saturday
GEORGIA PIEOMONT,
FREE STATE LOOPS
OFFER GOOO SLATES
Whitehall - Bishop Gamel
Expected to Draw |
Largest Crowd i
By CARL HANCOCK !
Bight teams in the Georgia Pied- !
mont league and six in the Free |
State league will swing into ac-i
tion again tomorrow afternoon ;
with battles on seven fronts, rang- |
ing from Bishop to Good Hope to
Hull to Athens. . i
The Piedmont schedule calls for
Whitehall at Bishop, Winder at
Athens, Commerce at Statham and
Crawford at Good Hope.
In the Free State loop, Arp will
play at Hull, Brockton will be at
Sanford, and Princeton will play
at Nicholson.
The best prospective game of the
day is the much-ballyhooed con
test between Bishop and Whitehall,
joint leaders of the Piedmont lea
gue. Interest of the baseball fans
in this section is running high as
the two teams prepale for battle.
Manager Bill Giles, of Bishop, has
announced that he will start Leroy
Bray on the mound in an effort to
halt the heavy slugging of the
Whitehall crew. John W. (Hop)
Teat, Whitehall manager, has mnot
announced hig pitching choice.
Another good game should be
the Winder-Athens Manufacturing
company contest to be played on
Sanford field. The Ilocals have
:fied a fair brand of ball this
, winning three games and
loging the same number. Winder
has a record of two victories and
four logses in league competition.
‘Good Hope will be the favorite
to win over the Crawford team,
which has won but one game this
season, while the Commerce-Stat
ham outcome is most doubtful.
Hull Team Good
The strong Hull outfit has hadi
little trouble winning its three
rames in the Free State league ml
far, and will bhe favored to whipi
the Arp nine, which hag won onl.vl
one game in three. The Brockton-
Sanford and the Princeton,Nichol
son contests should develop into
two fine games, as the teams are
v,e& evenly matched.

is a slight straightening of the
left knee as the left leg bears the
weight. Otherwise there is little
movement of the body from the
hips down until after the ball is
struck.
Thrusting the shoulders around
too rapidly causes the clubhead to
be swung from the outside and
across the line of play. When this
happens, the right hand and arm
have entered the swing too much.

Williams Not Satisfied
With U.S. Doubles Team
BALTIMORE— (#) —The United
States holds the American zone
tennis championship, but R. Nor
ris Williams, 2nd,, captain of the
Davis Cup team, is not satisfied
with the doubles team that clin
ched the victory over Mexico.
Lester R. Stoefen of Los Ang-les
and George Lott, jr., of Chicago,
defeated Dr. Ricardo ‘Tapica and
Eduardo Mestre, jr.. 6-4, 6-4, 6-4,
yesterday to mak= it three straight.
The final two singles matches to
morrow can not affect the result,
But Williams said after the
match: “Return of service is the
test ‘of a doubles team and the
Upited States was not good at
that.” G
Randall Bedgood Leading
Hitter; "'Red’”’ Anderson
Stars in Field
By JACK REID
Although the Gentry team put
up a hard fight, Captain Abe Link
)and his teammates continued to
lead the Y. M. C. A. Business
Men's league by rhading “Doc’s”
nine by a one run margin, 8 to 7,
yvesterday afternoon in a hard
fought contest.
Randall Bedgood led the win
ner's 12-hit attack on Gentry by
collecting . two for three, both of
his knocks being homers. Irvin
Hopkins also did some good hit
ting for the Link crew by gather-’
ing three hits out of five trips to
the plate. % .
Roy Cooper, who secured two
hits out of four trips, was the only
player on the losers’ side who was
able to secure more than a sin
gle hit, as the veteran “grunt
ball” tosser (a type of pitch which
is as well known around these
parts as the Hubbell screw ball
is in New York) allowed only
seven safe knocks.
The schedule calls for Deas to
clash with Lanier tonight and an
exciting game is promised the
fans attending.

Carnera-Baer Fight
Will Go On, Report
Officials of Garden
NEW YORK.—(#)—Reports that
Max Baer and Primo Carnera
shortly would ‘fight for the heavy
weight championship Wwere con
firmed officially today. -
War correspondents, slightly
astigmatic as a result of several
weeks' intensive peering at the
training camp antics of Barney
Ross and Jimmy McLarnin, heaved
a sigh of relief as they trained
their sights on bigger game; Mad
ison Square Garden rushed into
the public prints with a statement
that no postponement of the
heavyweight title brawl was plan
ned; Carnera took a day off to
avoid going ‘“stale”; and Baer
took a cuffing from his sparring
mates to furnish the impetus for
columns dwelling on the ‘“Liver
more Larruper’s’ apparent lack of
condition.
In short, it was much like old
times before the depression struck
boxing a bedy blow from which it
is only now recovering. Neither
of the prospective combatants
rescued any drowning females,
however. They may be saving
that for later.

By DILLON GRAHAM
Associated Press Sports Writer.
Showman Joe Engel has taken
his case direct to the people.
Three years ago Joe Engel came
down from Washington to take
charge of the Chattanooga base
ball club. He promised the fans
a pennant in 1932 and made good.
The fans flocked out to the park,
the attendance was the best in
history. Joe not only gave them a
good club but he provided enough
side-show stuff te keep them en
tertained whenever the game it
self slowed up. Washington,
through Engel, spent a bunch of
money improving the plant and
getting a good club. Chattanooga
needed several good financial sea
sons Jjust to break even on its
investment.
Then, last year, attendance
dropped off. And this year, al
though the Lookouts are in the
first division, .and for a time led
the league, they have been playing
to almost empty home stands.
Joe hasn’t been able to figure it
ah out, énd so, with a character
istic new gesture for a baseball
boss, he has taken his problem to
the people for an answer. In big
advertisements in Chattanogoa
newspapers, Joe has presented his
rase and his puzzlement and has
asked the one-time fans to let
him know why they no longer
come to the ball games.
The deal which sent Clarence
Griffin from Memphis to Birming
ham in exchange for Clay Touch
stone was the biggest intra-league
swap of the winter months.
Thus far, neither flinger has
approached his form of last sea
son. Touchstone has won four
and lost five, and Griffin has won
four and lost six. However, they
may come around when the hot
weather strikes the circuit.
Leo Moon, the Knoxville hurler,
scored the easiest victory of his
long mound career Monday. FHe
pitched one ball and got credit
for a viectory!
- In the second inning, with .the
score tied at two-all, the bases
were loaded. Hank Hulvey was
Jjerked from the hillock and Moon
sent to the rescue. He tossed one
ball at Duck McKee, the Crack
ers’ heavy sugger. McKee poked
one down to Ernie Horne in short
field and he tossed the apple té
second to force one of the run
ners. The Smokies scored in their
final half to break the tie and
bring Moon a win.
GEORGIA STARS IN
MEET IN ATLANTA
Members of Varsity and
Freshman Teams Enter
A.A.U. Meet Saturday
Some seventeen members of the
Lniversity of Georgia varsity and
freshman track teams, accompan -
ied by Coaches H. J. Stegeman
and Weems Baskin, will leave
Saturday morning for Atlanta
where they will compete in the
Southeastern Amateur Athletic
Union track and field meet, to be
held on Grant field tomorrow
afternoon.
The A. A. U. meet is the final
event on'the Georgia calendar for
the present school year, and the
Bulldogs and the Bullpups will
spare no effort in order to finish
the season in a blaze of glory.
Captain Graham Batchelor, who
has announced that he will take
up. professional boxing next week,
will climax a Dbrilliant athletic
career at the University by en
tering the three weight events
and possibly the broad jump. He
is a sure bet to carry off princi
pal honors in the javelin, discus,
and shot put, although he will re
ceive no small amount of compe
tition from stars of both the Sou
thern and Southeastern conferen
ces, as well as several athletes
who may enter these events un
attached. . .
The men who wiil be'taken to
Atlanta are: Batchelor, Johnson,
Calhoun, Oakes, Baxter, Maddox,
Bond, Wilcox, Major, Cox, Green,
Rankin, Townes, Boulware, Harman
and Rountree. The last five named
were members of this year's
freshman team.

Ted Sarris, of New York, shown above, is the most scientific of tha
six wrestlers who will appear on Promoter K. O. Frank’s card here
Saturday night at the Athens arena. Sarris will fade Spike O’Brien,
the Arizona “Bad Man"”, in the semi-windup of the excellent progam.
He has fought in 27 different countries.
Complete Boxing Card for
Next Tuesday Announced
Buster Wages Will Be On
Card When Batchelor
Makes Debut
The complete program for next
Tuesday’'s boxing card, when Gra
ham Batchelor will make his pro
fessional debut, was announced to
day by Promoter Clarence (K. OQ.)
Franks.
In addition to the main go, in
which the heavyweights, Batchelor
and “Bull” Johnson, of Atlanta,
will meet, there will be three other
bouts which would do credit to any
fight card. ‘
The semi-windup will feature
Buster Wages, the pride of Ath
ens, and Hoke Edmondson, of
Good Hope, in another eight-round
affair. These boys are two of the
best middleweights in this section.
and their fight would be good
enough for any mpromoter's main
hout. However, Promoter Franks
wants to be sure to give the fans
more than their money's worth, so
he has arranged both of these
fights on one card.
And at last it seems that a suft
able opponent has been found for
the undefeated Slugger White, the
local Negro who has ' not bheen
extended in a bout this season.
His opponent - for this- Tuesday’s
card will be K. O. Pint, who has
made quite a record for himself
in the squared circle. This match
will likewise be an 8-rounder, but
it is not at all certain to go the
distance.
There will also be a four-round
go between t(wo lightweights, Buck
Chasteen &nd Young Dempsey,
with the possibility that another
4-round mateh will be added to
the already excellent program.
Promoter Franks announces that
he has something new for Athens
fans in the form of a cup fight.
It is similar to a battle royal, ex
cept that the five principalg are
blindfolded before entering the
ring. This feature should give the
crowd sufficient laughs for the
evening.

wrestles, and “Tufry” Jones( that
rough and ready battler from
Houston, Texas. Almand is one
of the up-and-coming wrestlers
of the day, and seems headeq for
a byilliant career in the business,
Jones would !Ks nothing better
than to put a damper on the
youngster’'s “ambitions, however,

quite a few new tricks. |
The semi-final bout between |
two other heavyweights, Spike
O’Brien, of Arizona, and Ted Sar- |
ris, of New York, will not be far 1
behind the main go in furnishing
the spectators with thrills and
excitement, Both Sarris and
QO'Brien are big and rough, but
both have moie than average speed
and should be well matched. Their
match should be fully as interest
ing as the final one on the card,
and may even outshine it,
The program will open with a
preliminary engagement between
Frank Remill and Eddie Stecker.
These two are. just really learning
the wrestling game, and are more
than anxious to make a good show
ing so that they may be “promot
ed.” Remill is a former steel mill
worker and opponents have a dif
ficult time even hurting this
youngster. Stecker is also plenty
tough, and will give the Ala
baman a run for his money.
The preliminary match will be
only one fall, with a 30-minute
limit. Both the semi-final and
the fina! matches will be for two
out of three falls, the first with a
‘one hour limit and the second with
@& 90-minute limit,
Interest in this section is rapid
ly reaching a high pitch as the
fans anxiously await their first
opportunity to witness the kind of
wrestling abeut which they have
read so much. It's hard for most
people to believe that these big
men are thrown about the ring
with apparent ease—and sometime
even thrown out of the ring entire
ly. But it's true, ladies and gent
lamen, and your chance to see this
gpectacle isSaturday night—for the
very nominal admission charge.
The Athens arena is located on
the corner of Foundry and Oconee
streets, just in the rear of the old
Curb Market.
