THER SERIES
Ffpionship series between
round bhaseball teams is
1e offing. Already those
icipate in the Diamond

game series between an
team from the “Y"” league

bs would draw a crowd of

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

jir personal opinion that they
fould show at least enough re

Wwin one game anyhow. But chil

the Elbertonians have their fun.

Commerce Wins Over Athens, 7to 6
Hull Team Still Undefeated In Free State League
BROCKTON, SANFORD
ARE OTHER WINNERS
N LOOP SATURDAY
Luke Coile Hurls GCood
Came as Hull Wins
- Qver Nicholson
Hull was still. undefeated in the
Free State league after Saturday’s
tilts in the loop. 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.

Games During Past
Week at ‘Y’
In Friday's game at the “Y,”
Herry Rosenthal's .crew won their
second victory of the week by
overwhelming the last place Green
nine by a 11 to 2 count.
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.

’eentage of .833, while Hopkins‘i
outfit has won 4 out of 5 games|

game behind the third place team
is Captain Henry Rosenthal’s out
fit which has won 2 of their 6
contests for a .333 average. John

ing in the batting race with the
dizzy percentage of .4566, having
been at bat 22 times and smashed
out 10 hits, most of which have
been of the extra base kind. Al
though Praither was expected ta
be the batting leader of the lea

with the outstanding percentage
of .465.

Only One Shoot to Be
Held Each Week ;
Sams |s Best i
By JACK REID 3
Instead of having a shoot every
Thursday and Saturday afternoon
as has been the custom so far, the
next shoot of the local Skeet club
will be held this Wednesday aft
ernoon, July 4th, at 4 o'clock. 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.
The best scores at yesterday's
shoot are as follows:

’ Slugger” White Fights
Sammie Banks in
Return Bout
! By JACK REID
’ In the main bout of Promoter
‘K. O. Frank'ss regular weekly
iboxing card here Tuesday night
‘Harold Moore, the pride of Griffin,
i\vho was knocked out in the fifth
round of his match with Ernie
Samples, southern middle weight
{ champion, here last Tuesday night
l‘is scheduled to “mix it up” with
IHappy Curtiss, one of the better
!t Atlanta fighters, in a 10 round
! mateh.
In the semi-windup bout, Slug
ger White, Athen's colored rings
man, will fight a return bout with
Sammie Banks, hard fighting At
lanta boxer who drew with White
in his first fight with the Athenian
here last Tuesday night in a bout
that preved to be “the” fight of the
card. Both of these boys are con
fident of a victory, and both will
'bv trying hard for the win.
Moore will be fighting here in
Atheng for his -second time and
already has shown the local fight
| fans that he knows plenty about
{his business and will give the At
lanta boxer, Curtiss who has quite
a reputation in his home town, a
good match and Curtiss will have
to be plenty good if he expects to
last the entire length, or defeat the
clever Griffin boxer. The fact
that Moore was knocked out by
Ernie Samples should not mar his
splendid record, who is an up and
| coming fighter with a good future
facing him. Only the outstanding
ringmen of the south boast victor
ies over Samples and Moore was |
jgiving his favored and more exper
ienced epponent a good match un- |
'm the fatal fifth. Moore should be |
)giv@n credit for the fine sthvingl
'he made in the earlier rounds.
! In a six round mateh, two Ath
ens producs, Ed O'Farrell and Floyd |
Smith, are slated to meet. This!
' match also promises to bhe fast and
|full of a~tion with boys putting a]li
they have into the match, as |
Franks demangds all of the fightors]
to do. |
l Besides the three already men
| tioned matches, there will be :11

Jacket Defeats Ed White,
U. of Texas, 5 Up in
Annual Tourney
| By JAMES L. RENICK
~ Associated Press Sports Writer
COUNTRY CLUB. 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. Two stroke un-‘
der par, but was three strokes over !
par on the last six holes. B *

thanks to the quick thinking
players on both teams. .
‘Whitehall claims that the u
pire gave them five minutes
play ball, and when the time li
expired, that the field was |
cleared of the fans, and., he
fused to play. Statham claims
