SPOTLIGHTIN G
SPORTS
I won't be long until two of the
piggest athletic events in the Unit
ed States will take place. They
are the world’s Series and the
opening football games of the year,
To say which is the greatest
would be a hard prediction,
for their will be millions wit
nessing each when the events
comes. The World’s Series will
bring together the two greatest
paseball teams in the world),
and baseball lovers will have a
chance to witness the best
players of the century, while
opening football games over
the country will knock the lid
off of what should be one of
the greatest and most drama
tic athletic caimpaigns the
country has ever known.
It appears now that Detroit and
ihe New York Giants will be the
principals in the Worlg Series.
Detroit lost a double Dbill to the
Athletics Friday, the first that they
have lost this seasom, but the sec
cond-place Yankees failed to gain
but a half game, for they were
peaten in a single contest.
With the fighting spirit and
the great baseball playing that |
the Bengals have been exhibit
ing in the last three or four
weeks, it seems nearly an Im
possible feat for them to be
pushed out by any other club
in the Junior loop.
The Men of Cochrane are
heading for a pennant, and it
looks as though ne other team
in the American league can do
anything about it.
The wise guys have already se-
Jected the Giants for the National
league representative in the ser
jes. In fact the Giants have been
favoreq for the National title since
the middle of July, and it appears
now that they will ont be over-
taxell. . *
Bill Terry has waged a crafty |
battle. He has jockeyed (his
team along, until now, as the l
season draws to a close, it will
pe practically impossible for
him to lose the flag. Only one
team, the St. Louis Cardinals,
has a chance to overhaul the
Giants. The two teams have ‘
a series to play, and the Cards |
will have to take every game i
to make any serious threat. '
It will be a great fight, this
World Series, and if the Tigers
and the Giants maintain their pace
they will divide the spoils that
come from the big affalr: J

Georgia’s Bulldogs are being put
through their paces, in the cool of
the Northeast -Georgia mountains,
at the Athens “Y” camp, and they
should bé in great shape for the
season when they return to San
ford field to continue preliminary
training.
Georgia opens the season
with Stetson college, located in
Florida, and indications are
that the first game will be just
another scrimmage for the
Bulldogs. However, reserves
and sophomore candidates
should yet some much needed
experience in the game, and
that is more important to
Coach Mehrel than making a
good showing in the opening
game. e
The Stetson game somes On
September 29, just nina @ays after
the squad is scheduled to return
from the mountain resort. Afte:
Stetson - comes Furman, North
Carolina, Tulane, Alabama, Floriaa.
Yale, North Carolina State, Au
burn and Georgia Tech. .
The: North Carolina, North Caro
lina State and Georgia Tech games
besides the Stetson contest, will be
played in Athens. North Carolina
will be plaved here October 18;
North Carolina State will be met
November 17; and Georgla Tech
will he here December 1. ‘The Tech
game will close the season for the
Bulldogs.
Heretofore the Banner-Her
ald has only been able to give
its réaders very little infornju
tion about jusy how the train
ing period at ¢he “Y” camp has
been . going, but for the re
mainder of the happenings at
the camp will be fully covered
for those interested in the Bull
dogs.
Guy Tiller( jr, a member of
the Banner-Herald sports staff
will leave' Sunday for the camp,
and wil send daily stories back
to the paper. Tiler's stori®s
will deal with the incidents at
each practice, and readers are
assured that they can get first
hand information on the Bull
dogs from the Banner-Herald.
The “Left-overs” are still look
ng for games. The team, picked
from the players no¢ chosen for the
All-stay team of the Piedmont
l*ague’ anq defeated the All-stars
by a 10 to 3 count.
The players on the ‘Left-over”
team decided to band together, and
Play as an independent team after
the Piedrhont league ended. But
it has been hard for them to ar
'ange games, and any team which
would like to play the team ecan gey
the gzame by communicating with
Red Tucker or Woodia Gann, in
Athens,

i All arguments -as :to whorean

itenm. winners of the first half of
ixhu league, trounced Sanford 8 to
{5, in a game that decided the
I\\’inncrs of the league.
| If Sanford hag won the league
[ would be tied up now, and it
'l\vould have been necessary for the

{to determine which won the last

| that, the two teams would have

‘ Estee Dudley was again the

Friday's Game Called a
Tie; To Play It Over
Tuesday Afternoon
At the conclusion of the final Y.
M. C. A. Business Men’s league,
which endeq recently with Hill on
top, Jack Reid and Guy Tiller, jr.,
of the Banner-Herald sports staff,
selected an all-star team and also
a second team.
These two teams are not based
just on hitting,| but fielding and
team-play are also taken into con
sideration. Every player on_ the
yirst team with the exception of
two ‘Wwere above .300 hitters during
most of the season. Both of the
two players who are not .300 hit
ters are among the best defensive
players in the *Y” leagues and
can be counted on to hit in the
pinch.
The first team is as follows:
Pitcher—John Thurmond.
Catcher—Harry Lund.
First Base—Garrett Deas.
Second Base—J. D. Bolton.
Thirq Base—Howell Praither.
*Shortstop—-Irvin Hopkins. ¢
Left Field—Henry Hill.
Center Field—Gene Lumpkin,
Right Field—Cleo Sims.
Short Field—Henry Rhodes.
: Second Team
Pitcher—Clyde Anderson.
Catcher—Ralph Cooper.
First Base—Joe Vason.
Second Base—Boykin Bolton.
Third Base—Henry Rosenthal.
Shortstop—George Anderson.
Left Field—Guy Smith.
Center Field—John Green.
Right Field—Willie Broach. .
Short Field—Richard Patat.
p FRIDAY'S GAME
_ He’s out; he’s safe; the ruling
says that he ain’t; you are wrong,
I helped make that rule, the bat
ter is out; ain’t he supposed to he
out, “Doc¢”’; don't let Gentry make
‘the ruling on this play, he's on
the Hill 'side; kill the umpire.
Such 'was the argument at the
fourth game of the “Little World’s
lSerles" ~ Friday afternoon on the
YY" athletic field, the second game
6f the series that has ended in an
} ‘argument.
e The Problem
| All of the discussion was taking
'place in the last half of the sev
| entli inning Over wWhether Warren
Lanier, Vason pitcher, was safe at
!second or not: Lanier had singled
| but one of the infielders, in a des
| perate effort to throw him out at
first, had made a bad throw and
' Lanier had started out to second
' thinking he would have plenty of
time to make the extra Dbase.
' However, a spectator handed the
| hall to Richarq Patat, Hill first
!s&cker, and Patat twirled the bhnl
lto Hopkins who was covering sec
j ond, just in time to get Lanier
| out. However, the umpire ruled
{ that Lanier should be safe since
i the spectator had kept the ball
{ from going into the street.
i So the game Progressed, still in
| the seventh frame, until the Va
! son side: had scored what—at that
| time—was the winning rumn. over
! coming a three-run lead that the
{ Hill team had made in the first
iof the seventh. However, in the
lloeker roem, the argument was
irenewed. The two captains got
| together and ruled the contest a
| tie- game, 16 to 16, and it will be
! playeq off Monday.

The main ten-round attraction
will find Boyd Butler, former mid
dle-weight champion of the Navy,
;meetin;: a new-comer in the Ath
ens boxing circles, Loree Wilson,
who hails from Savannah, Ga.
' _ln his only appearance here,
' Butler flattened Harold Moore, the
Griffin glovesman, in five rounds
'and displayed one of the hardest
punches ever seen in the local
arena. If he is'in good condition
| he should give the Savannah slug
' ger a real battle,
| Little is known about just how
' good Wilson is, but he is said to
%havo a good reputation in and
raround his home town. This fight
%shuuld be good and may prove to
| be one of the hest ever staged in
| the Athens arena.
| Todd Tackles Brown
| Tommy Todd, also of Savannah,
| will appear on the ecard in the
!semi-windup, and is scheduled to
oppose Battling Ben Brown in an
! eight-rounder.
' Both Todgd and Brown, who is
| from East Point,” will be making
| their initial appearance in the
i local ring and, like Wilson, little
|is known to local fans of his
| fighting ~ ability. However, the
- soldier-promoter says that he ¥
'sure that thée two boys are excel
‘lent ringsmen and will put on a
' great show. a
| Kid vs. Kid !
. The six-rounder of the night
gwin find none other than the two
Kids at it again, Kid Refus and
| Kid Thrasher. Thrasher won a
' decision over Refus several weeks
‘ago, but in their return bout lAkt
i'ruosda_v Refus pounded Thrasher
' unmercifully and easily won a de
' cision which evened the count in
| fights won. So, Tuesday night
they will both be out to settle it
| once and for all just who is the
master of the other. :
l The two-four rounders of the
'night will find “Sleepy Joe” of
'iAtvhens battling Charles Burdett of
| Atlanta and Kildee, Wells and
| Roll'em Bene, two local Negroes,
[mixing it up. ;
] _Joe and Burdett fought to a
{ draw here. several weeks ago in a
ibatt]_e that was hard fought
| throughout and the return battle
i promises to he even better than
{the first embroglio. Wells is
la good many inches over 6 feet

;driving Harcld Cagle, from that
{ position, and it is possible that‘
|he will be shifted to some other
| position, eithér in the backfleldl
Lor in the line.
| Crawford is a heavy fellow, and |
{he may find@ himself playing in
thé lihe before the season is over,
{ probably at a tackle berth, thé po
{ sition where the local eléeven appears

| Coach Hollis sent the boys
| through several stiff workoutg last
| week, climaxing the practice with
}a bit of signal practice and some
!hm‘d charging and blocking Fri
‘day.
| While the first scrimmage is
!scheduled for Monday, about three
[ will be held during the next week,
i with each one heing a liftle longer
|and a little harder. £

l:\ lizht workout Thursday. .in prep
lamtinn for the game Friday.
{ Clayton Bowers, the mnew line

shoulder blocking, body blocking,
how te get through and across the
line, while on defense, and the
other details that 5 lineman must
