Leaders Meet In Games Saturday In Piedmont League;
~ Princeton Battles Homer In Free State Loop Featuye
6000 HOPE BATTLE
WITH EATONTON 10
FEATURE PIEDMONT
Athens - Whitehall GCame
Attractive; Bishop to
Play Athens CCC
) BY F. M. WILLIAMS
Featuring a battle between twe
of the three teams now tied for first
place, Eatonton and Good Hope,
the Georgia Piedmont league will
awing into its sixth week Satur
day afternoon on various battle
fronts in this section.
Athens, inatie with Bishop for
second place, will be a hard foe
for Whitehall, tied with Good Hope
and KEatonton for first place, to
dispose of, and the local aggrega
tion might spring an upset and
home with the bacon. The game
will be played in Whitehall. Bishop
will be favored to win from Athens
CCC on the latter’'s grounds, while
the Statham-Greensboro game in
Greenshoro, is a toss-up.
Each boasting foupr wins and one
loss, Eatonton and Good Hope are
slated to stage a desperate battle
in Ratonton. Eatonton is a new
comer to the league, but since the
opening game which it lost to Ath
ens, has bowled over everything in
the circuit, and is a threat to all
championship contenders.
“Dark Horse”
Good Hope, the “dark horse” of
the loop, has been playing excel
lent baseball since the first game
of the season, and last Saturday
climaxed its rapid climb to the
forefront with a victory over
Whitehall. In Anderson, the Good
Hope team has the outstanding
pitcher of the league, and if he is
right Saturday it will he hard for
Fatonton to win.
Athens, although not hoasting a
very good record, is a formidable
foe for any team, and Whitehall
will have to be at its best to win.
The Crimson Tops have one of the
heaviest hitting teams in the Pied
mont league, but Woodie Gann is
a erafty pitcher, and he likes noth
ing better than to win from his
arch rivals,
- Chappell Tate will likely be on
the mound for Whitehall, and Ath
ens bhatters will find his slants
gomething of a problem, In Tate,
Cunningham, and Strickland, White
hall has three pitchers that would
be welcomed on any team in the
league.
Bishop “Hot”
Bishop, off to a slow start, has
been going at full blast in the past
three games, and have bumped off
such teams as Statham, Athens and
Greenshoro. The CCC boys, who
have not yet won a game, will be
up against a good team, and if they
should win, it would be something
of an upset. Pete “Lefty” Dickens
will probably be on the mound for
Bishop with Thomas catching,
(Statham and Greensboro should,
stage a good exhibition, with a close
and spectacular battle resulting.
Statham is the hard luck team of
the « league, having lost several
games by one or two run margins.
It .might bhe a different tale, how
ever; Saturday, but one can never
tell,. Haygood or Holliday will start
in ti;\e box for Statham.
Al games will get under way
around 3:30 with small admission
‘Priéés being charged.
FREE STATE LEAGUE
Homer and Princeton, standing
all alone at the top of the Free
Htate - league with three wins
against no losses, will meet Satur
day at Princeton in a desperate
battle for the leadership. ‘This
game should be the best of the
gg,ton. with the outcome very, very
1086,
. Crawford and Brockton will en
gage in a hard battle at Brockton,
and Arp will take on Sanford at
‘Sanford, in other games in the
league,
This Princeton team is the sur
prise of the Free State. Last year,
t};‘e; first season of the loop, Prince
ton was just another team, and was
always ‘“easy” for Hull, Sanford
and Brockten, but this year it is
up there scrapping for the title, and
it looks very encouraging to the
loyal supporters.
: First Year 3
Homer is experiencing its first
taste of Free State league base
ball, and it looks as though it is
nothing for them to ge; fearful
over. It is a great team, and one
that is dangerous at all times. - l
The Crawford-Brockton tilt will
be another good game, although it
will have no definite bearings on
the league standings. Should
Cyawford win it would be in a tie
Wwith the loser of the Homer-
Princeton game for second place,
Brockton has not yvet won a game.

Commercial Softball Loop
Organized Here; To Start
Play Monday At 6:20 P.M.
Four Teams Definitely to
Play in Loop; Another
May Enter Today
A Commercial Softball league
- was formed last night at the Y.
M, C. A, and play will start
on the “Y" fiéla Monday after
noon at 6:20 o'clock. Four teams
aré certain to compete in the lea
gue, and there is a possibility that
a fifth team will enter before the
schedule is drawn up.
Abe Link, manager of the Sou
thern Department Store team, was
named president of the league,
and W. I. Hopkins, secretary and
treasurer, W. R. Bedgood, man
ager of the Moss Manufacturing
company’s team, was named chair
man of the rules committee, and
Randall Bedgood, Henry Rosen
thal, F. M. Williams and L. H.
Cunningham were named to draw
up the schedule.
The league is not a Y. M, C,
A. organization, and a player does
not have to be a member of the
HYe ¥n take part in it. The 'YV
graciously donated the use of its
athletic field to the league, and
the oifer was accepied.
The object of the league is to
arouse more interest in softhall in
Athens, and to interest many old
players who have been idle as
far as baseball is concerned, for
the past two or three years. The
“¥” Jeague could not be formed
this year because of a lack of men
interested in playing.
It was decided at the meeting
last night not to allow more than
4 men to play at one time, and
that each team could not have
more than 15 players on its roster.
It was voted unanimously to allow
the use of gloves to any player
desiring them.
Teams entered in the league are
Southern Department Store, Moss
Manufacturing company, Rosen
thal's Shoe store, and Citizens
and Southern bhank. There is a
possibility that McGregor com
pany will enter a team.
Jack Reid was appointed official
scorer of the league.
The publie is cordially invited
to attend these games, and close
and thrilling games are certain to
be held almost every afternoon.

Ciants Increase Lead in
National League As
Dodgers Lose
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Two players who figured in im
portant transactions recently, Geor
ge Blaeholder and George Earn
shaw, made their initial efforts for
their new clubs yesterday, and ran
into a lot of trouble.
Blaeholder scattered eleven De
troit hits in his first start for
Philadelphia, but the Athletics lost
b to 4. 3 ,
Earnshaw was driven out by a
three-run 7 acinnati burst in the
fifth and the Dodgers went down
5 ti 4.
As a result of Earnshaw's defeat
the Giants increased their Nation
al league lead to 2 1-2 ganies with
a' b to 2 victory over the Pirates
and their mound sensation, Cy
Blanton. ;
The Phillies dropped into a last
place tie with the Braves as they
came out on the short end of a
3-2 score aginst the Cardinals.
Boston was rained out at Chicago.
The Yankees of the American
league beat the league-leading
White Sox 13 to 5 to move into
second place.
The victory put them a half game
ahead of Cleveland, whose pitchers
failed to hold a_ five-run _lead
against the Red Sox and took a 12
to 5 trimming.
The Senators kept pace with De
triot's fifth-place club, just a half
game behind, by turning back ‘the
cellar-dwelling Browns § to 2.

Rally in Seventh Inning
- Enables Postoffice
To Tie Game
A three-run rally in the seventh
inning gave the Postal Clerks a
' 4-4 tie with the Athens Firemen
yesterday aftétrnoon in the Dia
' mond ball league, and after two
;‘ex[ra-stanzas, neither team e¢ould
- break the deadlock.
It was strictly a pitcher’s bat
tle between “Flip” Costa of the
Firemen - and Frank Johnson of
the Postal Clerks, and both were
in rare form. Johnson gave up
just five measly hits while the
Postoffice hoys collected six off
Costa. Neither team earned all of
its runs.
The Firemen scored first, in the
third inning. Three hits, a walk
and an error were combined. to
tally three runs by the Firemen in
that inning and it looked very
bad for the Postqffice. The Fire
men got another in the fourth.
Thz Postoffice team countered
its first run in the sixth on one
hit, an error and two walks. In
the seventh three runs clattered
across the plate, and the game
was deadlocked.
Smith led the TFiremen with
