BEATEN BY HOPKING
Hamilton and Williams
Lead Team in 2nd
Straight Win
Irvin Hopkins and his slugging
erew of baseball players kicked the
dope bucket “high, wide, and sky
high” yesterday when they defeat
ed the league-leading L}xmpkin
team, in the weirdest game ever
played on the Y. M. C. A. field,
7 to 5.
The weird happenings started in
the second inning, when Henry
Hill lined to Coile, Lumpkin second
sacker, who stepped on second, tO
catch Rutherford, and then throw
ing to Mewbourne on first to com
plete a triple play, the first ever
made in the “Y” league.
Not to be outdone, Hopkinsg came
back in the fifth inning and pull
ed a fast double Kkilling, continuing
the weirdness which is seldom
done in softball, when the ball is
hit on the ground. It happened
like this: Robertson was safe on
an error, and Lumpkin grounded to
Smythe on second, who tossed to
Hopkins, who in turn threw to Ar
rendale to complete the play.
And to end the weirdness ot the
came, the wio teams played tenl
innings, withovt having to do so.
It happened like this: .in the sev
enth inning both teams were put
~ut, cne, two, three, ani the score
keeper on the blackboard failed to
post the score, thereby allowing
the game to go one extra inning.
Both score books, however, show
ed that the two teams had reallyi
battled through ten innings, with
each team having thirty putouts,
and every inning showing where
the three men had been put out.
Of course the game was supposed
to end at nine innings, but as the
outcome was unchanged, it made
no difference. The official score
' should have been 5 to 3, in favor
of Hopkins.
Although the victonw mave Hop
kins a high rating in the percent
age points, no difference in the
stand'ngs of the teams was made
as a result of the victory. TLump
kin is still leading, with five wins
and one defeat.
In this afternoon’s game, Green
and Rosenthal will battle it out,
for the fourth place in the league.

You often see hurdlers taking the first and second barriers matching stride for stride. But when
they hit the next to last hurdle, a picture like the above is unusual. So close was this 120-yard high
hurdles in the N. C. A. A. meet at Los Angeles that judges had to view official pictures before they
decided on the winner. Then Sam Klopstock, Stanford, was declared victor, and George Fisher, L. S.
U., originally thought to be first at the tape, was third. :
ATHENS SUNGLUB
HAS 37 MEMBER::
OANS AGE SHOOTER
Myers and Beacham Are
Highest in Shoot Held
Thursday Afternoon
BY JACK REID
Although the Athens Gun club
has been organized only about
two and a half months, it already
has about 97 members with more
joining the Skeet club every day.
All the men that have Jjoined the
club are well satisfied that they
are getting their money’s worth
and more besides and ever after
noon that a shoot is held, a large
crowd of club members are present
to try their hand at the art. Sev
eral people that have not joined the
club also do some shooting at vari
ous times at a little extra cost,
Skeet shooting varies from trapl
shooting in that in trap shooting.
yvou are able to shoot only at al
“pird” fro mthe angle, outgoing,
being forced to stand in one place
and take all of your shots. How
ever in skeet shooting the shooter
is able to shoot at the “bird” from
8 different posts and at several
more angles than in trap shooting.
When skeet shooting, one shoots
at a outgoing “bird” an incoming
AT one directly over-head
and a “bird” flying Crossways.
And so when one takes up skeet
shooting it ont only affords him a
good form of recreation, but also
improves his hunting ability.
Skeet shooting is a much sport
ier game when a slight wind is
blowing as the wind catches the
clay birds and takes them up high
ler and sometimes a good ways off
their path which of course makes
them much harder to hit. Th 2 lo
cal Gun club is not run for money
but is operate@ by the club mem
bers to furnish themselves and
others whe wish to shoot with a
good form of recreation. Regular
i shoots are held every Thursday
land Saturday afternoon.
The officers of the local club are
G, V. McCarson, president; Bran
non Jones, vice-president and Joe
Myers, secretary and treasurer.
Only three times has a perfect
score been made at the local club,
Walter Sams, jr,, doing it twice
and Buddy Jones, professional
shooter who was here several
weeks ago, making the other. Sams
by virture of his two 25's and sev
eral 24's ‘and 23's, stands as the
ace of the local club, an honor he
has won by his excellent shooting.
The club also boasts several other
Lcr'au‘k shoots who can give Sams a
“run for his money” most of the
3tin‘\>}
l The club members are shooting
off- handicaps at the present and
jas soon as the qualifications are
made up the local members will
run off a tournament. The shoot
is located on the “Alps"” road.
Joe Myers and Bill Beacham ran
{eft with the honors at yesterday's
ishooting as both of them had only
12 “birds” that they did not break
to turn in classy 238’s, Walter
[Sams, jr, and “Red” Johnson also
gdid some good shooting to turnp in
122's.

The governor hand-picked his
Public Service commission, aftar

elected by the people. He told
them to reduce rates cr look for
another job. So far the commis
sion has issued order after order
—doing exactly as told.
So the governor is going into

The court has not acted on the
governor’s defiance.

saying. the late United States
Senator Hoke Smith, father of

accept a federal court summons
Wwhen Hoke Smith was governor of

In declining to accept the fed
eral summons, Governor Talmadge
sdid he was following the prece

“My father never refused to ac

Smith said that during 1907
railroads operating in Georgia
tried to get a federal injunction
against _the then Railroad com
mission and the governor. Gover
nor Smith took the position that
the governor of Georgia was not
subject to an injunction but did
not decline service. Marion Smith
¢aid his father merely turned the
matter over to the attorney gen

and made the point raised by the
governor. The late Judge William

and struck Governor Smith’'s nams

Whitehall jumped on two Bish
op hurlers for 16 hits vyesterday
and took the second and deciding
game in the playoff series Tor the
championship of the first half, 10
to 5 on Sanford field.
The Whitehall team had previ
ously won the first game of the
series, 8 to 7, and as the winner
of the best two out of three games
was declared the winner, the vic
tory ended the series,
The game startd off just as it
ended, a slugfest, with the team
with the mightest hitters coming
out gn top. Bishop scored one time
in ,the first half ot the first inning,
but then did not even come close
to home plate until the eighth,
when four hits and a walk were
!combined to score four runs.
Whitehall, in the meanwhile, was
Iscoring all along. In the first in
ning, they jumped on Leroy Bray
for three doubles in a row, and
that with one error accounted for
thre2 runs, a lead which they never
relinquished.
It was in the eighth inning,
however, that Whitehall opened up
with all its big guns roaring. In
that inning, when the score stood
16 to 5 in their favor, they scored
. four times, to put the game safe
lly away.
l Patrick, first man up, got a free
pass to first base, Wilson then
popped up to the shortstop, but
Kenneth Hamilton, pitcher, sing
led over second, sending Patrick
to third. Garrison flied to left
field, and Patrick scored on the
play. Nunnally and Costa then
singled in succession, the last one
scoring Hamilton, Williams, White
zhall third baseman, supplied the
i finishing touches with a triple to
Iright eenterfield, to send two
!runners across the plate.
l Williams was the hitting star of
Ithe day, getting five safe bingles
{out of five trips to the plate. He
swatted out two tfiples, a double
ard two singles out of his fiye
tries at the offerings of the Bish
op twirlers,
“Flip” Costa also hit well for
winners, getting four out of five,
including one double. Auburn
Nunnally hit safely three times.

dinance is “illegal and inopera
tive,” and that the city has no
right to levy such a tax under the
- city charter.
’ The petition further states that
the tax marks discrimination
against the gasoline companies
and is for the sole purpose of in
‘creasing the revenue ot she city.
The discrimination, it is claimed,
lies in the fact that the gasolineé
lcompanies are the only ones in
|Athens having = such a tax, As
such, the petitions sets forth, the
| ordinance is in violation of the
lconstitutions of Georgia and the
| United States.
At a meeting of c¢ity council
held shortly after the ordinance
was passed, a representative of
the companies pointed out that
while such a tax would be suit
able for the gasoline which is sold
in Athens that in its present form
it would apply to gasoline the
bulk plants sell outside of the
city and county.
Attorneys for the five companies
are Erwin, Erwin and Nix, and
Spalding, McDougald and Sibley,
and O. C. Hancock, of Atlanta.
The case was scheduled to be
tried before Recorder Matthews
this afternoon.
There were originally seven
companies failing to pay license
tax, but the other two, it was un
derstood, have already complied
with the ordinance or . expressed
their intention of doing so.

TIGERS END LONG
ROAD TRIP TOOMY
Detroit Is Only Half ,
Game Behind New
York Yankees
By HUGH 8. FULLERTON, JR.
(Associated Press Sports Writer )
Mickey Cochrane's Detroit Tig
ers were back in the West Friday
no longer in first place but, pa.
adoxically enough, more feared
than ever by the rest of the Am
‘erican league. 3
The signicant development of
Detroit’s long road trip into the
East was not that they were
forced to surrender the lead to
he New York Yankées but that
they played so well that Friday
they were only a half game from
the top. LEs
Pennants are won on the read
and there was none :torcavil at the
Tiger record of ten victories and
five defeats in the East. The Yan
kees, despite a spurt that gave
them 12 yictories in 16 games on
their home grounds, picked up
only a game and a half on the
Tigers while Cochrane’s surpris
ing club was on tour.
Playing a one-day stand at home
before leaving for another but
shorter road trip in the Waest,
Detroit squeezed out an 8-7 vie
tory over the Chicago White Sox
vesterday, in ten innings, and re
mained only a half game away
from the Yankees who won a 4-0
shut-out over the Washington
Senators.
For six innings it was a pitching
duel between Fred Marberry and
Sad Sam Jones with Detroit hold
ing a 1-0 lead. But Marberry, who
hadn’'t permitted a man to reach
third base, suddenly blew up in
the 104-degree heat and Chicago
scored six runs in the seventh,
After that it was strictly a bat
ting duel with the Tigers tying
the score in the ninth and win
ning in the tenth on successive
doubles by Charley Gehringer and
Hank Greenberg.
Red Ruffing scored his third
successive shutout, his fourth vic
tory in .a row and stretched his
scoreless innings to 29 as the
Yankees downed Washington,
Bob Johnson's 23rd homer and
Jimmie Foxx's 21st helped the
Philadelphia Athletics whip Bos
ton’s Red Sox, 7-1, in the only
other game played in the major
leagues. #
National league teams were not
scheduled.
