of the game, getting 11 points,
and performing excellently on the
floor. Harris, a teammate, secured
the most points, 20. For the los
ers, Wilton Seymour had 6 mark
erg, for high point honors.
‘Bogart, favorite to win the “C"
tourney. had little trouble with

the game with substitutes in the
Yineup. The big red team from
Oconed county continued its easy.
assuring style of .vlay, and piled
up point after point.
Orowe and Hammond, guards,
were high point men for Bogart,
with 8 markers each, while G.

and forward. was the big gun for
the Watkinsville team, securing
15 points. while Mauldin. LavOnia

ers.
Cloice Waters pulled the game
out of the fire for the Warkins
ville hoys in the extra period,

Another Athletic Circus
To BeHeld Here Saturday
Ceorgia Boxers to Meet
Clemson, Cagers Battle
Yellow Jackets
Another athletic circus, includ
ing fights with Clemson and the
season’s final basketball game
with Georgia Tech, i 5 scheduled
at the University of Georgla Sat
urday night.
Most interest probably will
center upon the basketball game.
On the outcome of this tussle may
rest the decision as to whether
Georgia or Georgia Tech will get
into the annual Southeastern Con
ference tournament. '
Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets
defeated the Georgia Bulldogs 29
to 21 in the first meeting this sea
gson in Atlanta. ;
Most colorful of the boxers prob
ably will be Captain Cliff Honley
and Bobber Dawson, Clemson’s
undefeated heavyweight and light
weight, respectively, and Captain
Mickey Radutzky, Georgia’s con
ference welterweight champion and
Olympic candidate. ‘
Radutzky's bout with Bob Jones
of Clemson probably will draw
most attention. They fought to a
draw earlier in the season.
Honley and Red Milton, Georgla
heayyweight, also battled to no
devision in their previous scrap.
Dawson got a technical knockout
over his Bulldog opponent, Red
Stephens.

Victory Over Clenna Col

} BY 808 CAVAGNARO
i (Associated Press Sports Wiriter)
. NEW YORK — (®) —lt may be
's(\vvrul weeks before she's notified
officially, but 18-year-old Patty
' Berg of Minneapolis is slated £orj
i;t place on the U. 8. Curtis Cu
team which will play agalnst
’sidp of British golfers at Glén
il'}u;.:lvs. Scotland, May 6-7.
| Patty thrust her freckled f§ce
into the National picture last S¢pt
ember when she put up a stubforn
fight before bowing to the reaf
(ilenna Collett Vare in' the finfil of
the U. 8. championship.
Today she commands fullgkare of
the spotlight by virtue of r vlc-‘
tory over Mrs. Vare in the/ second
round of the Palm Beach /tourna
ment. It was a triumph that vir
tually won her a place orj the in—’
ternational squad, earrying with it |
the distinction of h(-com%g Uncle'
Sam’s youngest lady-of-the-links
internationalist. b
Miss Berg’s rise in golf has been
phenomenal. Four years ago she
knew only vaguely or golf as some
thing her dad played every Satur
day afternoon. Hearing her dad
talk about the game got her start
ed.
Her physical makeup has been a
atrong factor in her rapid develop-!
ment. She has the thick, strong’
hands that play an enormous part
in the success of any golfer’s
game. Broad shoulders top her
muscular frame, and she has
stamina.
The personnel of the Curtis Cup
gquad is indefinite except for Miss‘
Berg and Mrs. Vare. The Philadel
phia matron undoubtedly will bei
designated captain of the team.
)F()r her the Curtis Cup matchea‘
are almost incidental to another
‘(-hance to realize a long-cherished
ambition—the winning of the Brit
\ish title.

Patty Berg Moves
Closer to Finals .
In Florida Meet
PALM BEACH, Fla. — (#) — De
termined Patty Berg today had
‘thrust aside another major ob
stacle in her charge through the
ranks of the nation’s best women
golfers. ju-
The Minneapolis school girl de
feated the national champion, Mrs.
Glenna Collett Vare, 3 2uad 2, in
vesterday’s quarter final round of
the Palm Beach Women's tourna
ment. |
The victory brought her into the
semi-finals against Mrs. Leon Solo
mon, Memphis, Tenn., veteran, and
was doubly sweet because Mrs..
Vare beat her for the women’s
crown last summer. |
Matched in today’s other semi
final battle are Miss Marion Miley,
handsome and long-hitting young
ster from Lexington, Ky., and Mrs
Maureen Orcutt Crews, Miami ace
who has held almost all the major
women's championships. Miss Berg
just turned 18, has heaten both
these players in this winter's tour
nament campaign.
Mrs. Vare was warm in her praise
of her voung conqueror's game and
said, “She’s always fighting. Some
takes you off your guard.”
Tnassuming Patty called Mrs,
Vare ‘“one of the finest sports
women I have ever known,” add
ing “I was lucky to win.” |

| Kssociated Press Sports Editor. f
NEW YORK.— (&) —With the |
aseball caravans either heading
or the grapefruit belt or fm'm-’
ing on the left, ready for the
take-off, a roll-call today dis- |
closed at least 62 players have not]
yvet signed 1936 contracts. |
This represents only about 121
’pex'cent of the athletes on the{
‘cum'ent major league rosters but |
it also indciates there has beenl
much more haggling than usua]l
with the bosses who sign the pay |
checks.
Loudest, if not the most sericus
of the holdout “squawks” has
emanated from Jerome Herman
Dean, who has, in this respect,!
assumed the ample garments once |
worn by George Herman Ruth.;
Both Deans are holdouts on the
Cardinal list, which also includes!
Pepper Martin, but Dizzy's de-‘
mand for $40,000, which would|
make him the top-salaried playerl
in either big league, involves the]
juiciest controversy. ,
Many = outstanding stars have
not yet signed, although Arky
Vaughan, the batting Kking, hasl
just come to terms with the Pitts
burgh Pirates, and compafativelyi
few are considered serious hold-!
outs. Paul Waner is understoodl
to be the only recalcitrant among
the Bucs while Augie Galan re-I
mains the only unsigned member‘
of ‘the Championship Chicago |
Cubs. |
Others conspicuously unsigned
include Hank Leiber of the New |
York Giants, Hank Greenberg of
the world champion Tigers, Van|
Mungo of the Dodgers and Babe
Herman of the Reds. Among‘
eight unsigned Yankees, Bill|
Dickey, Red Rolfe and Ben Chap-|
man are rated the most stubborn!
contenders for more pay, Buddy,
Myer, the Senators’ second base!
star and American league \)atting|
champion, apparently won'’t sign |
until he finds out how seriousl
‘owner Clark Griffith was a.bouti
tagging him as worth $500,000, if
isold to New York. '
| From Boston, where the Red
Sox are supposed to be just one
happy pennant-hunting family,
comes word that Johnny Marcum,
the big Kentucky pitcher, wants
SIO,OOO instead of the $7.500 offre
ed him. Zeke Bonura, first base
man, and Luke Sewell, catcher,
both are reported to be demand
ing $15,000 from the White Sox.
Last season Bonura drew $8,500
and Sewell SIO,OOO.
Johnny Allen, a former Yankee,
wants a $2,600 increase instead of
the SSOO offered by Cleveland.

Reporter Has Cold---
: . H
- Finds Out How to
.
j Avoid Next One
E ATLANTA. — (®) — Just back
from a first-hand, three day en
tcounter with a bad cold, a sneez
ing reporter struck out today to
find out the ways and whereabouts
of colds,
In the nasal dialect of a cold
sufferer, he telephoned Dr. T. F.
Abercrombie, director of the state
board of health.
Dr. Abercrombie spoke sympathe
tically.
“You sound,” he said “as if you
are a bit late seeking this infor
mation.
“The first rule to follow in avoid
ing colds is to stay away from
people who have them—from you,
for example.
“At this safe distance, I give
you some other general rules,
“2 —Keep your body in gooa@
condition by eating the right kind
of food.
“3—Train your skin to stana
changes in_temperature by frequent
bathing.
“4 —Wear sensible clothing.
“s~—Keep your feet warm and
dry.
“g.—Breathe through your nose.
“7—Have diseased tonsils, aden
oids and teeth treated or removed.
“B.—Wash your hands with soap
and water before eating.
“9 —Work and live In well-venti
lated rooms.
“10.—Sleep with windows open,
winter and summer.
“11.—See your doctor if you can
not, by proper care, keep from tak
ing colds.”
Dr. Abercrombie said the present
number of cases of colds and in
fluenza has “not reached anything
like an epidemic. I would say the
increase ig about mormal. To be
expected after bad weather such
as we have had.
But of course, the reazon most
persons take colds in bad weather
is that their resistance is low.
Keep in good health all the time
and you will keep colds away from
you.”

COURT DECISIONS
ATLANTA, Ga—(p)—The Geor
gia Supreme court held Wednes
day that a motor truck line op
erating under contract must pay
the Georgia mileage tax both
ways on a haul.
The decision was in a case from
Fulton county (Atlanta) in which
'Ray Reagin sought to enjoin
Comptroller General William B.
Harrison and his chief clerk from
collection of the mileage tax on
a return haul from Atlanta to
- Chattanooga.
f Reagin had contracted to haul
| beer for the Atlantic Ice and Coal
‘company from Chattanooga to
Atlanta, Reagin claimed he should
not be forced to pay the tax on
the return haul because he merely
carried empty beer bottles back
' as o matter of “courtesy.” Chief
\Justice Russell, wrlting’the Su
preme court’s opinion, said:’
’ “A motor carrier cannot /trans
rert for hire from one peint to
tanothex within the state of Geor
\gia cases containing bottles full
}of beer and transport the empty
bottles and cases containing them
!back to the shipper ‘as a cour
tesy.’ Both shipments are subject
ito the mileage tax.”
Chief Justice Russell added:
1 “In such cases courtesy must
bow and gracefully do obesiance
%0 law.”
