Serics to Be Played on
~ Sanford Field For
: First Two Days
-Play will begin between White
hall hnd/ Commerce, YWwinners of
the first and second halves respec
tively of the Piedmont league, Fri
day afternoon, on Sanford field, at
4 o'clock, with an admission of
10 and 25 cents being charged.
The series should be one of the
pest that has ever been played
here. angd is the first of its kine
in the Piedmont league. However,
séveral series in the old Tri-county
jeague have been played on San
ford field, and fans will remem-!
ber the keen rivalry displayed mj
the series.
While the first two games willl
| S iplayed on Sanford field, no
place Has been set for the tinlsh-’
ing of the series. One game will
probably be played in Commerce,l
and one in Whitehall. i
About Even
In a recent “fun” series, White
hall and Comimerce each won one
game, and tied another, which justl
goes to show fans that witness the
geries how evenly matched thel
two are. All three of the games in
the “fun” series were played in |
Whitehall, and the scores were al- |
ways close.
Some of the supporters of the
league as a whole, favor ‘White
hall’s chances slightly in the ser- |
ies, while others think that the
Commerce Crew will come out
ahead. Both teams has it's back- |
ars, and large crowds are expect- |
ed to be present a; all the games, l
:Manager “Hop" Teat of White-!
hall, and Manager Hubert Holland, ,
of Commerce, at a meeting yester
day, decided that Clarence Rob
erts, local policeman, and H. Rob- |
erts woiila be umpires for the ser- i
les—or at least will be asked to |
officiate. i
‘ Probable Pitchers !
Manager Teat will probably send!
a lefthander at the Commerce team '
for the firsy game, in the person of \
Obie Coile, a brainy twirler. Colle
uses a slow curve ball as his' main
weapon, and has a great change of (
pace.
Whitehall will likely face the
fast ball pitching of Carl Stuart,
Commerce's leading twirler, in the
firs; game- However, & lefthanderl
chunker, Fubery Holland, may face
the first half winners in the first
game, with Stuart being saved for
the second. \
Both the Whitehall and the Com- ‘
merce nines have formable bat- }
ters, and it was the heavy stick
work that they displayed for the
entire season that kept them out
in front of the league.
" In Williams, Garrison, Nunnally:
Patrick, “Flip” Costa, and the
two Brooks hoys, Whitehall wm‘
haye ‘a- crew that will be harq to
get out. Williams is the leadingl
hitter of the team, and one of the
@ in the league. He is noted
. hig long distant hitting] -]
L Commerce will present Kitchens,
gyij'tuart. Miller, Stacks, McDon
ald.” Shumake, and Grier for the
Whitehall pitchers to worry about
a;: they wil do plenty—in the |
25t should be a great, and sue-‘
cussful series, no matter which
ga;iid'i;omes ouy ahead. ‘

TIGERS AND GIANTS
GAIN GROUND; DEAN
BETS 24TH VICTORY
Rowe and Schumacher
Star as Leaders in
Majors Advance
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The 1934 pennant races appeared
today to have been reduced to
matters of time—and not a very
long time at that—for the New
York {ants and Detroit Tigers.
Starting long stands on their
home grounds, the two league lead
ers recorded a victory apiece yes
terday, the Giants bowling over
one of jtheir leading rivals, the
Chicago Cubs, § to 1, and each
triumph meant a step nearer to
pennant land. *
While the Giants were reducing
Chicago to the status of a third
place clyb and maintaining their
seven-game margin over the St.
Louis Cardinals, the Tigers poked
out a 4 to 2 decision over the
Athletics and increased their lead
over the idle New York Yankees
"to six games,
The Giants mnde their “crucial”
| series with Chicago look rather
| unimportant' as Hal Schumacher
1,-ecovareq from a poor start to pitch
six-hit ball for his 21st victory of
the season while Guy Bush was
| helted out with a three-run spurt
in tha sixth. Joe Moore’s 14th
ihmmh-, tonped of! the game.
. The Cards conquered Brooklyn
2 to 1 on Dizzy Dean’s three-hit
flinging and home runs by Jim
Collins ang Bill Delancey off Emil
Leonard to go into second place.
Dean won his 24th mound victory
while Collins tied Mel Ott for the
league home run lead at 32
The Tigers played the revenge
motif for all it was worth as
Schoolboy Rowe, whose 16 gama
winning' streak was ended by the
A's and Johnny Marcum last week,
came back to beat Marcum. Rowe,
touched for eleven hits, recelved
brilliant suppory in recording his
21st triumph. His mates bunched
four of their seven blows off Mar
cum to do all their scoring in the
fourth inning.
The Cleveland Tlndians openea
their third-place duel with Boston
with an 11 to 2 triymph as Ralph
Winegarner pitched a six-hit game
and Hal Trosky smashed in six
runs, with his 31st homer and a
single. The Browns shook last
yvear's champion. the Senators,
ilnose from their last mathematical
chance at the pennant by winning
leiod
The Phillies put togethe, Royv
Hanigen’s six-hit flingine and .a
home run by Dolph Camilli to beat
the Reds 1 to 0 and turp back a
Cincinnat{ threat ¢o climb out of
the National league cellar, Pitts
burgh's Pirates clouted out an 8
to 2 decision over Boston as Arky
Vaughan made four of their eloeven
hits to account for five runs and
pilfereq two bases.

Hunt Wins Over
Sheriff in “Y”
Tourney Finals
“Doc” Hunt, representing the
Athens Sportings Goods Store,
won the amnual Y. M. C. A,
horseshoe tournament yesterday
afternoon when he defeated Sail?
Sheriff, the other finalist, in
straight games. The scores were
50-44, 50-45.
Hunt, winner of last year’s
tournament, stated that the match
with Sheriff was not the hardest
that he had had in the tournament
but that it was plenty close and
he was glad that it was over.l
Hunt said that Leon'Almand gave
him his hardest match. f
Sheriff gave the favorite a hard |
battle in both matches, but Hunt‘
proved just a little the better ofl
the two. In the first game Humi
slipped 17 ringers around the posts |
while his opponent stuck on 15.2
In the second ang final set Hunt |
led in ringers, 22 to 20. i
Hunt played excellent . horse- |
shoes during the entire meet andi
put on 119 ringers in the sixl
games_he played, which is an av
erage of 19 and a fraction over a{
half per game. ‘

George Pittard and Walt
Wilfong Report For
First Workout
By JACK REID
The Athens High school football
candidates got their first taste of
rough work yesterday afternoon,
dressed.in full equipment, and will
probably get a lot more of it at the
practice today.
Coach Howell Hollis has announ
ced that the first scrimmage would
be either Monday’ or Tuesday but
did not know exactly which one
of the two dayg it would be.
George Pittard, veteran end, and
Walter Wilfong, star guard. were
among. those present at the work
out yesterday afternoon, attending
their first drill of the season. An
other point of interest saw Win
ston Hodgson working out with
tive backs and running at the quar
t»back posit-on, Just where Hodg-
1t back posit-on. Just where Hodg
json will perform this season has
‘heen a hig question mark and still
| ig.. He will play either tackle or
i quarterback and yesterday’s work
‘with the backfield men seemed to
| indicate that Hollis wil] try him
lat that position for a while.
i Both the linemen, under the new
| coach, Clayton Bowers., and the
Ibacks, under Hollis, had thefr
| share of the rough work. The line
-Imen spent most of their time prac
ticing charging while the backg di-
Ivided the time of their session be
ltween"nmning plays, blocking and
also tackling, with their mates as
the “dummies”, .
The entire squad also went
through a practice of running down
under punts and covering the re
ceiver. Walter Wilfong, George
| Pittard, and Billy Barron were do
-1&7 most of the punting, but only
| Wilfong seemed to be getting off
igbod kicks. Several times Wilfong
igot off excellent kicks that went
ia}good distance and were just
;about the right heighth. ' Although
i Wilfong playg in the ‘line, Coach
iHollis will probably call him back
+in the backfield during the games
te do the punting when necessary,
especially if he continues to im
prave in his kicking.
Both kicking and passing have
given the Athens High eoaches no
little worry- this year as practi
cally all of the boys on last year's)
team who- could punt or pass were
lost by -graduation or sOme other
reason. Rudolph Guest. who will
perform -at - halfback this season,
is expected to do a good portion
of the chunking. .
Two more drills were on schedule i
for the.boys todav, one at 10 in|
the morning and.the other at 3 in |
the afternoon, : i

Vason Team Is 12 to 11
Victor Over Hill
Clan Yesterday
By JACK REID
With the count standing one
game for each team, the Vason and
Hill outfits will play the third
game of the “Little Worlds Series”
orv the Y. M. €. A. athletic field
this afternoon at 6:10 o’clock.
John Thurmond_will probably do
the chunking forYthe Vason crew
while either Abe Link or Clyde
Anderson wil] do the twirling for
the Hill team. The rest.of the
lineupg for both sides will be just
about the same as usual,
Vason Wins
A last inning rally that netted
three valuahle and necessary runs
gave the Vason aggregation the
second game of the big series ves
terday afternoon on the “Y” field
by a 12-11 count.
Doc Gentry, the Hill flinger, and
Warren Lanier, the Vason elbower,
took turns blowing up but Gentry
biew up “worser” than the rival
pitcher and there lies the tale of
the contest in a nut shell
After getting away to a 2 run
lead in the first frame, the ulti
mate losers allowed the Vason clan
to account for 5 markerg in the
last of the second, taking a lead
which they held up until the first
of the sixth.
Big Inning |
However the Hill team “started
the fireworks” in that frame and
when the smoke had cleared awa.\‘!
they had accounted for 8 runs and
taken a 2 run lead. Things vhore
beginning to get dark and the Hill
players who were performing in
the field now were unable to see a
