DEFENDING CHANIPS
LOGE OUT IN' LAST
QUARTER, 25 T 0 22
Citizens Pharmacy Scores
53-39 Win Over Corne
lia for Third Place
By JACK REID
Jackson Couniy, third seeded,
edged out a battling . top-seeded
Colbert quintet, here Friday night
in a thrilling cage duel, 25 to 22,
1o take first honors in the annual
Athens Y. M. C. A.-Banner-Herald
Independent basketball tourna
ment.
In a preliminary engagement,
the “Horne to Horne” attatk of
Citizens Pharmacy proved too
much for Cornelia- and the local
aggregation came out with a 53
to 39 victory, and third place.
The final battle between Col
bert and Jackson County was un
doubtedly the most exciting and
hard-fought of the entire tourna
ment, and was probably the most
hotly contested championship meet -
ing for the past several years,
Colbert, a slight favorite, ran
up an 8 to o lead by the end of
the first quarter, but the ultimate
winners came bounding back in
the second period to overcome the
handicap and hold a 15-12 advant
age at the half.
A desperate rally by .the defend
ing champs in the third period
pulled at score into a 17-17 dead
jock by the end of that period, but
the Colbert five had shot its bolt-
Four points by Hardy and 2 eash
by Duke and Cushion in the fourth
and final quarter was more than
Colbert could match, although the
defending champs were fighting
for all they were worth when the
timer's gun brought the contest to
a, .close.
+ Jackson County's two star flor
wards, Duke and Hardy, took high
georing honorg with 72 . and B
points, respectively, while Elmo
Hardeman and Kincaid score 6
each for the losers.
In the preliminary contest, the
{vork of the Horne brothers—Roh
#rt, star on Athens High's quin
%&:}t during the past season, and
AWendell, ex-Vienna High All-
American-—was outstanding. Rob
‘rt gathered 17 points in a relief
role, while Wendell came through
with 12. Dodd played a fine game
under the basket for Citizens,
while Bobh Getzen again led the
Cornelia quintet. ‘

Fs 310 D FUTURE
OF MPAVOY, AFTER
DEFEAT BY LEWIS
i BY 808 CAVAGNARO
(Associated Presg Sports Writer)
NEW YORK — (# — Jock Mc-
Avoy's fistic future was studded
with “ifs” after his 15-round drub
bing at the handgs of light heavy
weight ehampion John Henry Lew
is.
‘The ' lion-hearted Briton wasl
confined to a hotel nursing a bad
;ly swollen right hand, a bashed
nose and a bruised ear,
A doctor examined the hand Sat
urday morning and said he doubted
‘1: wag broken, but Dave YLumian
ix-;ky, MecAvoy's manager, had it
x-rayed Saturday afternoon.
- “Jock's future depends on the
gserlousness of that injury,” Lum
ainsky said. “If the x-ray pictures
do not show a fracture, then we'll
go ahead with our plans and sail
‘next Wednesday for England and
a British heavyweight champion
|shlp fight with Jack Peterson on
April 23, If McAvoy defeats Peter
son we'll hasten back to New York
and pursue our plans for another
match with eLwia.”
The result of the X-ray won't
‘be known until Monday,
Lumiansky said he started ne
gotiations for a return bout Fri
day night after Lewis scored a
- decisive victory in defense of his
#world’s title, ’
| “Gus Greenlee, Lewis’ manager,
gave me assurance that his boy
would give Jock another chance at
the title,” said Lumiansky. “The
fight probably will be outdoors. But
everything depends on the x-raysi
and Jock's fight with Peterson. J
“Naturally Jock was disappoim-l
ed he didn’t win, but he's far from
discouraged. He hurt the hand in
the second round when he aimed a
blow at Lewis’ jaw an Lewis duck
eX and took it on his head. How
ever, we're not offering that or
anything else for an alibi.”

Unconfirmed Report
Says Hosiery Plant
: May Select Athens
(Continuea ™rom Page One)
of money, it is said, the mill will
undoubtedly choose Athgns. Oth
erwise, it is possible, if not prob
able, that the mill will go else
where.
Sites Considered
In view of the fact that sev
eral sites have already been con
sidered for the location of the
building which the first unit of
the mill wili occupy, and these
sites are mostly outside of the city
limits, it is not held likely that
prices for the proverty will ham
per the committee in charge in
making a {inal choice of a site.
However, it is within the realm of
Jossibility that prices -might be
“boosted” beyond the opint which
is within reach and consequently,
result in the mill going to another
city.
If the mil] comes to Athens, it
is said, it will spend $20,000 over
a two-year period for training lo
cal persons as operatives. The
machinery installation cost will
amount to ahout $20,000, in addi
tion tg the $200,000 which the ma
chinery itself will cost. The oper
atives for the mill, it is said, will
be selected under supervision of
a local committee in order to as
sure that persons residing in this
locality will he given preference
for employment.
Community Spirit
+ (onsidering the fact that all
lines of business in Athens will
be favorahly affected if the mill
locates here ohservers do not be
lieve that any property holders
will “boost” the pricé to a point
which cannot bhe met, although it
is said that in, some instances
communities have lost opportuni
ties to obtain new industries when
property owners have undertaken
to make “quick money” by raising
the price of prospective sites for
those industries. It is thought,
however, that Athenians are too
patriotic and that sentiment iy too
strong here for bringing new in
dustries and increasing payrolls,
for a similar experience.
The building for the mill be built
to modern specifications for hosiery
mills -and the work itself will be
done under conditions and amid
isurroundings which will assure
pleasant employment for many
'persons who would like to obtain
employment in this immediate vi
;cxnity.
Observers regard the opportun
ity to bring the new mill to Ath
ens as one which seldom comes to
a community seeking to increase
its payrolls. It is reported that
Secretary Wier, President Wright
and other officials of the cham
ber of commerce, as well as indi
vidual citizens, have given con
siderable time to negotiations con
nected with locating the mill
here,
Offered Property

izens have offered to give free

Manager Crimm Sees a
Tight Race With Chica
go Again Leading Way
BY ROBERT MYERS
(Associated Presg Sports Writer)
LOS ANGELES — (®#) — Until
something better comes along, the
Chicago Cubs look “mighty good
to Manager Charley Grimm for =
irsecond straight National league
flag.
“Yes sir,” declared the baritone
voiced Charles John, perched on
the back of a players’ bench at
Wrhigley Field recently ‘“the boys
Iloc::k might good, and oughta gvu
places thig year.”
“We've got a fast bunch of young
ball players, the same club we had
last year, only a year older and
better.
l “Of course,” he refleéted, “we'll
‘have a hard fight. There's St.
Louis, New York, Pittsburgh—say,
those Pirateg are going to be tough.
'Pleaty of speed, power—all they
needed last year was a couple ofi‘
}pitchers. |
~ “But we won’' have to win any
21 straight games again, you can|
bet on that. We're going to .-lta!‘ll
off earlier. Why, we're ready now.'
My pitchers could start in tomor
row.” l
The Cubs, he said, will carry 23
men—eight pitchers, seven in-field—'
ers, five outfielders and three
catchers, l
The pitching staff looks like the
veteran Charley Root, Lon War
neke, Larry French, Bill ee, Tex
Carleton, Roy Henshaw, Fabian
Kowalik anM one more, possibly
Clay Bryant, rookie who finished
with Birmingham last season.
Grim misn't certain Root will be
as good as his 15 wins in 1935, but
figures Carleton, the big Texas
righthander, will show improve
ment.
Gabby Hartnett, the club’y most
valuable man last year, will carry
the burden of the catching, with
Jimmy O’Dea and Whlter Stephen
son sharing the job.
Grimm and Phil Caveretta will
share first base, with Bill Herman
‘Hhack at second, Bill Jurgess at
short and Stanley Hack at third.
In the outfield, Johnny Gill, who
batted .36i with Minneapolis last
‘season, shapes up well, but not well
‘enough to beat out Frank Demaree,
Augie Galan, Tuck Stainback or
Chuck Klein for regular berths.
Klein, so Grim mbelieves, is head
ing back to batting larels he hasn’e
enjoyed since he left Philadelphia.
BRIGGS WITHDRAWG
BIG BONUS OFFER
LAKELAND, Fla. — (#) — Wal
ter O. Briggs' offer of a fat bonus
for a third straight Detroit Ameri
can league championship was for
mally withdrawn Saturday, but
training camp observers saw the
flicker of a wink behind the an
nouncement,
Hardly had the wealthy owner’s
inducement for extra efforts by
his players become known before
protests developed, led by a flat
statement from William Harridge,
league president, that the bonus
would be “detrimental to baseball.”
Harridge, at Orlando, held a long
distance telephone conversation
with Briggs last night and the club
president, through Manager Mickey
Cochrane, issued the following
statement Saturday:
“Since the announcement of the
offer to the members of the Detroit
team of & bonus for winning the
1936 American league championship
I have learned that the giving of
such bonug is espressly prohibited
by the major league rufles, '
“Thereore, of course, the offer
will have to be, and is withdrawn
as the Detroit club certainly has
no purpose to perate in violation
of rules to which it and all its
competitorg are ‘subject.
“I can only add that upon re
flection I appreciate and under
stand perfectly the justice of the
rule and its necessity for the pro
tection and welfare of the game.”
The amount of the offer was not
divulged, but it was understood to
be in the neighborhood of $50,000.
The equanimity with which the
withdrawal was received at the
Tiger training camp here gave
credence to reports another pen
nant would bring ripe rewards,
without any announcement to ‘stit
envy among players of other clubs:

ATLNTA - GRACKERS
FAVORED TO' REPEAT
IN' PENNANT DRIVE
New Orleans Regarded as
Most Serious Foe of the
Crackers This Year
’ BY KENNETH GREGORY
| (Associated Press Sports Writer)
’ MEMPHIS, Tenn. —() — Four
weeks from this sunny Saturday
|aftemoon the Southern Association
- inaugurates the mad scramble for
lthe 1936 pennant,
. Atlanta’s Crackers, in the role
of defending champions, have heen
selected to repeat despite general
improvement of the other seven
!clubs. 3 .
At this distant point, New Or
leans, Memphis and Nashville are
ranked as the most serious threatsj
to lift the crown from Allanta.,|
with Little Rock, Chattanooga and |
Birmingham dangerous contenderd, |
The season opens on Aprii 11
with Chattanooga at Atlanta, Bir
mingham at New Orleans, Knox
ville at Nashville and Little Rock
at Memphis. The teamg line up
the same way for games Apri]l 12
Monday is an off-day and then’-
they reverse their sites for three
gameg series April 14, 15 and 16. l
Atlanta finished ahead of New
Orlean’s Pelicans last year hy slxl
games, survived the Shaughnessy
playoff to win the pennant and
then lost to Oklahoma City in the
Dixie Series.
Many changes have taken place
since last season. The Assoclation’s
ranking has been incrgased to class
A-1, thus allowing each club an
extra player, The league voted to
award the pennant to the club
finishing first over the regular 154-
game schedule, with the victor in
the playoff receiving the honor of
playing in the Dixie Series. A
purse of $2,000 will be divided
among players of the club winning
the pennant.
The Crackers are going to miss
Harry Kelley, the veteran right
handed hurler who was drafted by
the Philadelphia Athletics, but
Manager Eddie Moore believes he
hag a formidable staff in Bud Tho
jmas, Bop Durham, Jim Lin{lsey
and Bill Schmidt and a bumper
crop of young rookie pitchers,
Hutchinson’s illness which has
prevented him from reporting for
spring training may force the
Crackers to start the ace with Al
Browne, a good prospect, in right
field, The catching staff has been
improved with the addition of Paul
Richards and Jim Galvin. One
more veteran pitcher would make
Atlanta tough throughout the sum
mer.
New Orleans stacks up as the
most serius threat to the Crackers.
Manager Larry Gilbert, although
losing som: good players including
his star hurler, Lefty Al Milnar,
never fails to come through with
some good young rookies to mix
with some prize material from
Cleveland’s Indians, -
With several veterans on hand
and lots of rookie talent, the Little
Rock Travelers, under the capable
handling of the veteran pilot Doc
Prothro, may prove the surprise
club of the summer. Many believe
the Rocks are certain to finish in
the first division.
Birmingham and Kmnoxville will
be vastly improved, each with new
managers. The veteran major lea
’gue outfielder, Riggs Stephenson,
'has taken over the Barons and the
‘ancient hurler, Jess Petty, will be
in charge when the Knoxville club
reports for practice Monday. The
'Chicago Cubs will help Birmingham
and the Boston Beeg will send
along some aid to the Smokies.
- The chances of Nashvijle and
Chattanooga are good. Nashville,
with Poco Taitt, the league's lead
ing batter of 1935, back in fold,
several veterans returning and a
prize list of rookie material, ig a
good bet for the first division and
a possible title threat.
Chattanooga graduated several
excellent players to the Washing
ton Senators, including Buddy
Lewis and Dee Miles, and traded
others. The Lookouts have added
several promising rookies and vet
erans and more help will come
from Washington.
