These two teams really serve to win, and either will give Bitehall 4 “run for their money,” v should meet in the series side the winner of the league ast of August. THER SERIES Ffpionship series between round bhaseball teams is 1e offing. Already those icipate in the Diamond le and the Business Men's he local “Y"” are planning game series between an team from the “Y"” league winners of hte Diamond venture to predict that such bs would draw a crowd of ¢ or eight hundred persons, wovided it was played on a field Ipable of accommodating such assemblage, There has been much specu tion as to which league is the aster” and certainly there is + one way to settle this stion—by actua! dompeti h. Despite the fact that the wo,. loops play a different type of game, adjustments could be made so that a series would be possible. The “Y” Jeague uses a 14- inch ball, whilg the newer group uses the 12-inch ball. If and when the series is played, the teams would have to use one ball ong day and the other the. next. Each team would be at a disadvantage playing with the ball not familiar to the players, but all would sffer an equal handicap. These games between the crack players of each organization should be filled with spectaculayr play, and the spectators would more than get their money’s wortr. We hope that these plans will be worked out and the sieries will be held. It would be a good one. 2 - NO RESPECT AT ALL! The Elberton Rotarians should be thrown in jail, sued for mis treatment, horse-whipped or some thing for the way they mistreated their “ma’” the other day. The F“roughnecks” came over to Athens sand just proceeded to take the Bneasure of the Athens Rotary Jlub’s baseball team, and made it two straight victories over the lo cals. f-"l'?m Elberton club was ‘“mother z_ by the Athens club, and it is jir personal opinion that they fould show at least enough re -4 Bpect to let the local Rotarians Wwin one game anyhow. But chil dren will be children, so the local I team “took it liké men,” and let the Elbertonians have their fun. C. H.

The league-lead ers took the measure of the strong Nicholson team, by: the score of 8 to 1, in a game that was rather dull all the way through, the Hull team taking a commanding lead from the first. Brockton defeated Princeton, 6 to 4, and Sanford downed Arp, 9 to 2, in the other games played in the league. Luke Coile, veteran righthander, who stepped into the breech made in the Hull team when Cecil Car tey resigned, pitched another great game, givnig up six widely scat tered hits. He was in top form, and was practically unbeatable Saturday. . The victory was the third of the season for the veteran pitcher, and it appears that he will make as good airecord as Cartey did. Coile has not heen, defeated this year, although he had to be re lieved in one game, but still get ting credit for theé victory. Gus Bryant, slugging little cat cher, was the hitting star of the game, getting rour hits out of four times at bat. Bryant is one of the leading hitters in the league, and can really hit the ball on the “nose.” R. Matthews was on the mound for Nicholson, and pitched a fair game, but his mates simply could not touch the veteran Coile, and he had little chance of winning. Matthews gave up 11 hits, but kept them fairly well scattered. Wil son, Nicholson second baseman, was the leading hitter for the los ers, getting two for four. Brockton Wins Daniel, Brockton pitcher, was just about as hot Saturday as was Coile, Hull pitcher, and he gave up only six hits to the usually heavy-hitting Princeton team, and his team won the game, 6 to 4. Brockton slammed out 11 hits dur ing the game. ’ Several new players appeared in the Brockton lineup, and they are planning to add more strength to the team, and make a drive to win the title of the last half of the league, which will begin in a short while. Potts, Crook and Duke were the leading hitters for Brockton Saturday, while Toney hit best for the losers. Arp and Sanford called their game off at the end of the sixth inning yesterday, at Arp's request, after the winners had run up a big lead. In the fourth inning Sanford batted all the way around and scored. most of their. runs.

Doc Gentry pitched steady ball for the winners and never got himself in any serious trouble, al lowing but 7 hits «during the en tire game. The winners, however, found the tossing of John Green to their liking and pounded out 12 hits. ‘ Edgar Broch led the winner's attack wtih 3 hits out of 5 tries, all three of which were singles. Willie Broach came second in the, winner's hitting attack with’ 21 singles out of 4 times at the plate. | Captain Green, with 2 for 3, was the only member of the losers who touched Gentry for more than onel hit, | Howeil Praither secured the] only extra base lgnocks of the game by pounding out hig daily homer and a double out of five tries. Richarg Patat and Irvin Hopkins‘ were the fielding stars for the winners, Patat hardling 10 chances -without an error and Hopkins taking care of 7 chances perfectly. Tomorrow’s game will find Cap tain Irvin Hopkins' crew opposing John Green’s outfit. If Hopkins wins the game, which they are ex pected to do, they will go into a tie for first place with the Lump kin nine. THE BOX SCORE Green— AB RHPOAE Lund. o .iqi 092 20 0 Green.

And from then on, starting Sunday, July Bth, the local gun club will hold but one shoot a week, that heing every Sunday afternoon from 3 o'clock until dark. These changes were decided up on late yesterday afternoon follow ing the final Saturday meet ang it is thoughkt that by holding the shoot on Sundays it will give the members of the club a more favorable time to do their shoot ing as most so the club members have not been able to attend the gshoots on Thursday and Satur days. Skeet shooting has been stead ily winning favor in this commu nity and three smaller towns around Athens (Thomson, Monroe and Winder) have organized gun clubs of their own after seeing how successful the local gun club has been. These three towns will probably each organize a skeet team, to be _Dicked from the best shooters of their club, and chal lenge the Athens w<club to organize a picked teamm and shoot against them. Your writer predicts that sometime in the near future the Athenians will pit their picked sharpshooters against the stars from the other out-of-town clubs. Walter Sams, jr. stole the show at yesterday's shoot with a bril liant 23. Sams not only’turned in yesterday’s best score, but tied with H. T. Busbee for second place, both turning in a 22. Any score above 20 should be counted as an excelient score for yester day a stiff wind was blowing that carrieq the birds in every direc tion but the right one and made the skeet shooting a much sport ier game.

Cleveland.— (#)—Charley Yates, the long, gang ling representative of Georgia Tech, 'won the annual Intercollegiate (Golf championship by defeating Ed White of the University of Texas in their 36-hole final match Satur day, five up and three to play. Yates, one of the pre-tournament favorites, battled his way through the four days of match play, de feating Winfield Day of Notre Dame, William Dear of Brown, and Frank Ridley, a team-mate from ;’Tech. ~ The Georgia lad, who was de }feated in the semi-final of the' col legiate championship last year, kept complete control of the situ !mion Saturday from the second '}mle until he finished the match on the twenty-third green by dropping l“‘ three-foot putt. . However, the Texan never ceased | fighting and staged a terrific come , back on the incoming nine. He won | three of the six holes played and halved two others, but the Geor gia boy had piled up too bhig a lead. White virtually shot _his way | out of the championship Saturday 'morning with erratic drives. On the first 18 holes he was on the lfun'way only three times with his drives, This wildnesg off the tees cost the Texan several holes with | Yates going 2 up on the first nine, four up at noon and 6 up after twenty seven holes, ~ White went out fighting mad in the afternoon but Yates immedi ately increased his lead to five by laying the Texan a perfect stymie on the ninetenth hole. White was back with a beautiful birdie four on the long 463-yard twentieth. It was on the incoming nine that White staged his great rally after Yates had lost his ball on the twenty-eighth hole and took a six. ‘White won the thirtieth with a six foot putt and then stayed in the running with a 30 fecot putt for a birdie deuce on the thirty-second. On the next hole, White's old | troyble popped up again and he sliced his tee shot into some wick | ed rough. He was compelled to chip out onto the fairway, losing a? stroke. Yates was home in par figures to end the match. ; This morning Yates toured the curse with a medal score of 75 as compared to White's 78. The Georgian was back out during the afternoon in 34.
