Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT Piedmont League Teams Play Tomorrow THREE GAMES T 0 BE PLAYED N GEORGIA PIEDMONT THURSDAY Eatonton-Whitehall Game - Was Played Today at Eatonton Grounds Three games will be played to morrow afternoon in the Georgia Piedmont baseball league, with Greensboro and Athens meeting here, Bishop playing at Good Hope, and Statham engaging the Athens CCC team at the CCC camp. The other two teams, Whitehall and Eatonton, played one another in Eatonton this afternoon. The game today may decide the winner of the first half title, As Eatonton and Whitehall are the two top cg}enders, with the boys from the lower end of the circuit hold ing first place by a narrow mar gin. #Phe schedule calls for all week dag games to be played on Thurs day, - but the Whitehall-Eatonton game was arranged to be played today because stores close in Eat onton on Wednesday. z?hens will be out to revenge a defeat at the hands of Greens boro a few weeks ago, in one of the biggest upsets in the league. Manager Carley Orr has added several new players to his squad, :ﬁ he will have one of the strong teams in the league in the second half. - Woodie Gann, star righthander, Paul Whitehead, a curve ball spe ciailst will probably be Manager Orr's choice for the starting as siément on the mound against Greensboro tomorrow. Wilson, will likely get the call for mound duty for Greensboro. Bishop and Good Hope, in a hot race for third place, will stage an exciting game, with the outcome likely to be very close. If Good Hope wins the game, it will be in a tie with the losing team in the Eatonton-Whitehall contest, for second place. The conflict should turn out to be a pitchers battle, with Pete Dickens, ace lefthander, of the en tire league, doing the chunking for Bishop, and Anderson, sensational right handed pitcher, on the mound for Good Hope. Statham and the CCC team, both vietims of hard luck this year, will battle it out for seventh place, in their game at the CCC camp. Both teams have won one game, but neither has been beaten badly more than once or twice. With a few breaks, both outfits would be much nearer the top of the stand ings. 2 All games will start at 4 o'clock, with small admissions, probably 15 and 25 cents being charged.

Several freak records were set which promise to stand for a long time. First—Lawrence “Flip” Costa on the mound for the Rosenthal team struckout 11 opposing batters in the 7 inning duel. Second—This same pitcher walk ed 11 of the C. and S. batters, which cost him the game. Third—Ralph Cartledge, playing first base, went the entire game without a put-out at the Initial sack, Fourth—Ralph Cooper, behind the plate for the losers, did over two thirds of his team’s fielding, getting credit for 13 put-outs. Fifth and final—Only 4 assists were recorded by the combined ef forts of both sides. Though his fast ball spéd across the plate with blistering speed, Costa’s wildness was undoubtedly the cause of the defeat. Holding the winners to 7 hits while his mates gathered 10 off Lanier, and made 3 errors to 6 for the Citizens team, what else could be the cause. The game was close from thel very start, with the score being 4 to 4 at the end of the first four frames. Two runs in both the 6th and 7th innings, plus a lone tally in the 6th, however, decided the game as two runs in the 6th were all that the losers could push acress in the final four innings. Marvin Tucker and Horace John son were the only members of the Citizens and Southern team who were able to get over 1 hit. Both banged out 2 knocks. Williams also aided the winners with a circuit clout in the 7th with 1 on, the only four-base hit of the day. Though his team hit out 10 safe ties, Cleo Sims proved to be the only player for the losers who was able to get more than a lone bingle, getting 2 for 4. A triple by Cart ledge in the 3rd with 1 on helped a lot.

HEAVYWEIGHT FIGRT MAY BE BIG “FLOP Braddock-Baer Fight s Lacking in Interest Says Alan Gould BY ALAN GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK — {(#) — Despite its dramatic prospects and the probability it will be a surprising ly hard fought match, the world's heavyweight championship fight between champion Max Adelbert Baer and challenger James J. Brad dock tomorrow night has failed to arouse either the fine frenzy of excitement or the sharp differences of opinion generally associated with such momentous fistic affairs. It may not be a financial flop all things considered, but it certainly lacks drawing power. Madison Square Garden's promoters predict a “gate” of $350,000 at their Long Island city bowl but on the basis of advance sales they.appear to be optimistic. It may mnot exceed $250,000. The widespread impression thatl Braddock, while a very game and | deserving young man, is no match for the free-swinging, colorful and confident Californian has, no doubt affected the advance interest, or lack of it. Braddock's record, des pite his comeback within the past vear, hardly justifies much confi dence in his chances. } During the four years since 1931, in which Baer has fought his way to the top, Braddock has been whipped nine times. The Jersey battler is three years older, slower and carries a less potent punch than the champion. These indisputable facts account largely for Baer's status as 6 to 1 choice in mo%‘ betting books on Broadway. ere’'s no Braddock money, even at that figure. The challenger's best chance, if any, will be to get the jump on the champion at the outset but he will be well advised not to run undue risks. The longer the fight laste, the better Braddock's chances will be, even if he has to get up off the floor a few times to convince Baer he can ‘“take it” and come back. The suspicion that Baer may not be in the best of condition or that his hands will be subject to injury is not well-founded. For all his playboy activities and super-confi dence, the champion is smart enough not to under-estimate any fighter with Braddock’s course and detrmination. He is not only in good condition but he probably will discard his wisecracking, once he is face-to-face with Braddock in the ring. The threatening talk from Baer’s camp about the selection of a ref eree is not to be taken seriously. It's the old stuff. The champion’s lmanger will abide by the boxing commission’s selection and like it, [although the protests in advance may be sufficient to keep Arthur Donovan from getting the assign ment, Jack Dempsey hardly can get the call, either, because of his close association in the past with the champion. i it | FIRE ON SHIP PHILADELPHIA — (#) — Fire Tuesday swept the hold of the 8.

H ISTORY of SPORTS BY JACK REID ——————————————————————————— Lacrosse holds the honor of be ing the oldest game played on the North American continent. Centuries ago the Canadian Ind ians played the game, and then called it baggataway. The red-men inhabiting what is now the mnorth eastern section of the TUnited States, adapted the game, but fail ed to play it with as much enth usiasm as their copper-hued breth eren in Canada. Therefore it was only natural that the game had only short lived popularity on this gside of the frontier. It was the French who changed the name to lacrosse, when they inhabited Canada many years ago. It secured its presex) name when the Frenchmen described the sport to their fellow men as “La Crosse”, because a netted _stick is used which resembles a Bishop’s crozier. ‘When lacrosse was baggataway, few rules were observed. Now, however, the size of the playing field is limited, the number of men on each team is definite, and our present lads can go on the field with reasonable assurance that they will not end in an undertak er's parlor. The ancient Indians used to con sider it strategy to cripple as many of the other side as possible be fore setting down to scoring points. The best player was the fellow who could absorb the most pun ishment and still keep going. Tri bal supremiacy was often decided by a game of baggataway. Deaths were frequent; serious injury oc curred very often; and it was very seldom that a player escaped from a game without injury. . The game grew more tamer as the years progréssed. Although there were still no standard rules, lacrosse gained much popularity during the 19th century. French, British, and Indians played the game according to their own ideas, In 1867, however, when Canada had become a Dominion, G. W. Befrs, a lawyer and a lacrosse backer, formed the Nation Lacrosse As sociation of Canada and advocated that lacross become Canada's na tional game. Along with some associates Beers organized two Indian teams and sent them on a tour of the United Kingdom. In 1868, the Eng lish took up the game and formed a league. Then started matches be tween English and Canada, which were played off and on every year. The game grew in popularity, and it was about 1868 that definite rules were formed. Twelve players made a team. The minimum dis tance between goals was 100 yards, the maximum, 150. Goal posts were 6 feet by 6 feet. The ball, which weighed not less than 4 1-4 ounces nor more than 4 3-4, was made of India rubber. The cross at the end of the stick ' was limited to 12 inches in width. Finallv the sport spread into col leges. The schools played annual games with each other. Lacrosse has been played in the United States for more than 50 years, but is staged mainly be tweess colleges. There are, how ever, a few other lacrosse teams that play each other.

SILER (Associated Press Staff Writer) NASHVILLE, ‘Tenn.— (#) —With ambitious campaigners weeded out, competition stiffened today as seed ed stars and dangerous challengers came face to face in the third day of play in the annual Southern Amateur tennis tournament. Twenty-two players, headed by Bryan M. Grant of Atlanta, defend ing champion, and Berkeley Bell of New York City, top-seeded, remain ed in the chase for the crown the Atlantan has worn six times since 1927. Grant, in defense of his title, faced Bruce Baxter, of Austin, Tex., while Bell clashed with Harvey Terrell of Birmingham. The Atlanta star’s only appear ance yesterday was in a second round match that saw him trounce Pollard Parsons of Nashville, 6-0, 6-0. Bell also confined his activi ties to one tussle, elimnating Carl Smalley of Austin, Texas 6-1, 6-4. The path of J, Gilbert Hall, New Jersey veteran seeded third below Bell and Grant, was barred by Lewis D. Carson, captain of China's Davis Cup geam in an important tilt. "Hall yesterday beat Frank ißericha, of New York City, and Frank Corrigan of Atlanta. ' Another seeded luminary, John McDiarmid of Chicago, rated fourth Idid not have such an easy time, ’dropping two sets as he eliminated !Jere Whitson of Cookeville, Tenn,, 6-0, 3-6, 6-1 and then almost meet ing his equal in Brutz Boulware, purly Georgia Tech athlete, before finally winning, 6-8, 6-3, 10-8. McDiarmid met the winner of the Charles Harris-SinKie Kho setto today. Harris, Florida state champion of Palm Beach, was fav ored over the Chinese Davis Cup star in what figured to be one of the day’s interesting matches. To enter the quarter final round, Robert Bryan, Chattanooga south paw, seeded fifth, needed a victory over Frank Guernsey of Orlando, Fla. after taking two opponents over the jumps yesterday. Another feature match brought together two collegians, Billy Reese of Georgia Tech and Ernie Sutter, Tulane’s ace_stroker, who recently won the Memphis invitation tour ney.

Mixing it up for the remaining seven rounds, Sewell and Hardy kept the fans in an up roar until the end. Matching each other almost punch for punch, the two battlers appeared to be about evenly match ed and a draw was the only pop ular decision. Sewell was slow getting started, but began to improve steadily aft er the first three or four rounds to regain some much-needed points over the slugging southpaw. In the semi-windup clash, Kid Chapman, the popular little fighter form Ware Shoals, earned a draw decision with James “Bulldog” Ivey, another Augusta warrior. The two put on another fine show and the decision was again very popular. Ivey started off cau tiously and let Chapman lead the fight most of the time. Suddenly springing into action at various times, however, the “Bulldog” flash ed a real knockout punch tha‘ Chapman barely managed to get out of the way. An unintentional low blow near the middle of the fight greatly hurt Ivey’s chances. Though he was given a 5 minutes rest, he showed the effects for the remain der of the fight. 5 Baby Montell, young Augusta ringman, showed that he really had the stuff, with a knock-out victory over Young Bucker Key, Savan nah, in the third round of their scheduled eight rought battle. Preseanting a dazzling exhibition of floor work, and a fine defense, Montell led the fight all the way. Sugger White took a decision over Kid “Koolmotor” Refus in an exciting eight round fight. Looking somewhat like the slug ger of old, White kept his glove in Refus all the way to make no doubt about the outcome. Refus presented a strong offense at times, but Slugger was just too much for him. Promoter Franks announced that Mickey O'Brien and Harold Moore will fight on next week’s card, and that Chester Conklip will also be present. competition, only one match being ccmpleted yesterday in which Jack McKay, sr., and Jack McKay, jr, of Miami, Fla. defeated Henry Hights ana Bill Tarvis of Nashville, 9-1, 6-4.

They scored a total of two runs, one in each game, as the young, fighting Reds scored 4 and 3 respectively, One has to reach back into the time browned records 16 years to find another instance when the Reds won a doubleheader at he Polo Grounds. Clydell Castleman was handed his second defeat of the season as Tony Freitas let the league leaders down with seven hits in the first game and Leroy Herrmann, former Cub pitcher, stopped the vaunted Giants attack at five hits in the second. In the other National league games, the Phillies defeated the Chicago Cubs 10-4 and the Pitts burgh Pirates opened their six six game series with Brooklyn with a 4-0 shutout to go into a tie with St. Louis for second place. In the American league. the ‘White Sox divided a doubleheader with Washington, losing the open er 9-8 and winning the after piece 9-3.

At Cleveland the Atheletics walked off with both games of a doubleheader, 4-2 and 5-1. ) The Cardinals-Braves game at Boston was postponed.
