PAGE EIGHT Same Players Comprise Lineups This Year In All-Star Game Moore And Curtiss To Fight In Ten Rounder Tuesday ALL-3TAR GAME T 0 FURNISH THE BEST - PLAERS IN WORLD Popular Voting Runs to Same Players Again ‘ This Season. NEW YORK.—(P)—If the pop ular vote were followed rigidly, the second annual all-star game Letween the National and Ameri can leagues at the Polo Grounds July 19 would look much like the ,:' i}. i resulls of the nation-wide poll taken in connection with the contest indicate, in a general way, @ decided leaning toward most of the players who participated in the first all-star game at Chicago last summer. _ln the balloting for American league positions, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Vernon Gomez of the Yankees; Charley Gehringer of the Tigers, Jimmy Dykes of the ‘White Sox, and Joe Cronin of the Senators, all of whom played in last year's test, were standout cholces in their positions this time. Earl Averill of the Indians, used as a pinch hitter last year, finish- | ed second to Ruth in the outfield! ballots with Heinie Manush of the Senators third. Al Simmons of the White Sox, and Sam West of the Browns, who played at Chi cago, wound up in fourth and elghth positions this time. Rick Ferrell of the Red Sox, last year's catcher, was no better than fourth in the balloting this year, finishing behind Bill Dickey, Mieckey Cochrane and Ralston Hemsley. Gomez and Grove, who shared the pitching burden with Al Crowder, finished first and jthird. respectively, while Crowder “was in 12th place. Earl Whitehill of the Senators, slipped into sec ond place between Gomez and Grove this time. "In the National league, Bill Terry and Carl Hubbell of the Giants Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals; Chuck Klein, Charley Hartnett and Lon Warneke of the Cubs; Wally Berger of the Braves and Pie Traynor of the Pirates, all received heavy support again. On the basis of the voting, Dick Bartell’s position at shortstop will be filled this year by Travis Jack son of the Giants; Joe Medwick of the Cardinals, wil take over Paul Waner's outfield post; with Traynor, used as a pinch hitter last year, displacing Pepper Mar tin of the Cardinals at third base and Jerome (Dizzy) Dean taking over the pitching duties that fell to the lot of his fellow-Cardinal, Bill Hallahan, in 1933. " Although Hartnett polled a heavy vote for catcher's duty, the leader was Al Lopez of the Dod m. [ & £’ S Of the others who played on the »N’;;onal league team which drop ped a 4-2 decision to the Ameri can last year, Chick Hafey of the Reds finished eighth among the outfielders; Bartell fourth among the shortstops; Hallahan 11th among pitchers; FElwood English of the Cubs third among third sackers, and Frank O'Doul of the %fl! 14th among outfielders. ©O'Doul and English were used only as_pinch-batsmen a year ago. . Although they serve as a useful guide, the results of the poll are not binding upon the rival man agers, Terry and Cronin, who will have the final say in the selec : Pitcher Bradberry Stars For Crawford in Saturday’s Contest ' old adge, “there's always a] dilver lining)' rang true for the " Crawford baseball team, a mem " ber of the Georgia Piedmont| rue, Saturday. The team, which _cannot seem to shake off a slump that they have been in for some time, found a “bright spot” in the “game with Good Hope, which wasl ed in Crawford. | é%g{;tcher Bradberry, who went in in the third inning with the score{ gkh 3 in favor of Good Hope, was the man that furnished the bright' “spet in the game. This young man " went out on the mound and| pitghed his heart out, in a effort | 'to save the game for his team, | “and except for a few bad breaks, _ineluding two umpire’s decisions, e would have succeeded, and the gcore would have been an alto p: different story. It was 10 goi "9 in Good Hope's favor at the endl hectic innings, %’T‘h department would like toé @dd its congratuiations and en- | "; ne the Crawford team to keep | on fighting. And to Pitcher Brad-; ‘berry, we tip our hats, for he proved! ’(w hé is a great player, and no : tter how great the odds, he can ;;,;L his best. R .

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA ‘“SLUGGEH” WHITE j‘ e e eet ' Franks Offers Another | Great Card’ This | Week At Arena. | i i | Haroll Moore, ‘the courageous had fromd Griffin, will meet “Happy” i(‘fumiss‘, one of the hatter known | Atlanta fighters, in the main, ten ]mund go. of Promoter K. O. Frank’s card here Tuesday, in the Wthens avena’at 8:30. “Slugger” White, Athens colored Jnvorite, and Sammie Banks, alias Sammy Baker, will” baftle in a re turn match, in the elght-round semi-final. of 'the card, and Ed O'Farrell of Athens and Floyd Smith, algo of ' Athens, will meet |in the six-rotinder.© A four-round Iflght, Letween two local boys, and {a battle royal ‘will' be "on the | card. xR Moore, the blond southpaw, who was knocked out in the main fight last week by~ Sailor - Ernie-Sam ples, . middléweight - champion .of the South, 1s a favorite. with the fans here, and -they: will “be pulling for ‘him to WHRTIAT MF s LR W Up until the fourth round, when Samples caught® ‘him* - napping, Moore' had " :fought'a“greaf fight, and was winning on’points. * The fight, no doubt, taught him plenty and he ghould” be' even better against Curtiss. i Curtiss has .fought in ~ Atlanta, and all over . the- South, for' that matter, for a number. of years, and will be a’ formidable opponent for Moore, and ‘Promoter Franks says the fight should’be full of - action from start to finish. . . - Bankg and White While Curtiss - and Moore are scheduled to be the main attrac tion, the fight, of!{ the.evening will be the semi:windup ‘. between White and Banks. These two boys ____‘-_—-—————_T_i* staged ong of the best that ‘ha# ever been held 'in Athens, when they fought eight terrifically punishing rounds to a draw ast week. *he boys truly mixed it up, and the draw decision was the only one that could have been" given, with any justice being done" to both boys. The boys were cautious | at the offstart, but. from the third round through the eighth, it was a slugging match, with neither giving any ground. - Both boys will be out to show their supremacy oVer the other, and it is very doubtful if either will be satisfied with less than a | knockout. A decision might leave | ‘gome doubt, and the boys will mix it up in old fashion slugging style. First Appearande : md (Farrell, former Athens High school football star, and a brother of Hugh OFarreil, Geor gia end, will pe making his first appearance before local boxing fans, in.his battle with Smith. O'Farrell | is- a rugged athlete, however, and: ¢an . ‘‘take it” from the word go. He will be see King tc make himself a name, and it would, be no surprise:if the fight rhould end in-'a knockout, Wwith either fighter standing a good -’ chance to get in the finishing punch first. s Smith Has fought on- two or three of the cA¥Bs here, and each -time has made a better showing than the time before. He is a’ good defensi e fighter, and ‘uses a lofg left hook ~to’ keep his' opponent away from .him. He is training hard for the fight, and it should be one of the best of the evening. The four-rounder, and the bat tle Toyal should be real fights. The last mentioned will come first, and ithe crowd . always . enjoys seeing the colored boys “mix #t” up, with the largest one generally . being eliminated first. Jriyes : Admission - will be 25 cents for women and children, and'4o cents for men. : : e e e BOARD OF STEWARDS MEET _The Board of Stewards of the First Methodist church will -hold ‘thelr regular monthly sesslon Tuesday evening at 6:30.
