NEW YORK — (#) — From the

the fight businesg is showing signs
of new life.
The heavies have been holding
the headlines for the last few
weeks, with the talk of a Jimmy

the highly regarded San ¥rancisco

Project Starts in Valdosta
Today, Under Federal

ATLANTA — (#) — Liberationa
of young fish from the last of four
hatcheries in the state which pro
duced them this year was under

rection of the GeorZia Game and

The Valdosta hatchery, like the
one at Warm Springs, is operated

trucks were transferred to Valdosta
after completing the liberation of
300,000 red breast, speckled pearch
and bass from the gstate hatchery
at Fitzgerald.
i C. C. James, state superintend

'mate could be made at this time
of the number of fish that will
be liberated at the Valdosta hatch

He said the total to be liberated
in state, when the work at Val
ldosta is completed late in January,
will be well over 5,000,000.
' The work of releasing the fish in

Iweek. Waters were stocked in
some 15 south Georgia counties.

STATHAM .—The goal shooting
ability of Edna Jordan, small Co
| mer forward who accounted for 33
{points here last night in a con
{ test against Statham girls, was
{ the feature attractioy of the night’s
]prom'am. Comer girls won 48 to
1 14 while Statham bhoys defeated a
;weaker Comer outfit 42 to 9.
{ :Comer. ‘girls, who incidentally
im‘n forced to play home games on
fan outdoor court, opened the game
!in whirlwind fashion and were
| leading by 10 points before the
'first quarter was well underway.
IlCdn:’L Jordan, the hawk-eye soph
lomm-o, averagedq one point in
leach minutes of play with five
Ipolnts lefy for good measure. She
i displayed the best floor work and
lshooting ability that has been
=een this season ang will go far
with her team before tournament
time, Reba Baulloch, tall forward,
tand Wall aided the Jordan girl
with her pass work ang plays.
This combination of Wall, Bulloch
and Jordan is no douht the hest
t“(‘." class girls combination in the
’district.
« Perking, Ross and Wall of the
IStathflm outfit played well and so
l did Willingham, Wallace and Finch
!on the defensive end, but this fast
bunch from Comer proved toc
lmUCh for them.
In the boys game the locals
found easy going. Comer has a
fair . defensive team but their
shooting didn’t click. Flodges, W.
Hale, Savage and €. Hale ac
counted for 7,8, 10, and 11 points
respectiveiy for the winners. Por
terfield of Comer, playeq well
along with Chandler, these twe
accounting for 7 of the 9 points
made by the losers.
~ Statham boys and girls are
resting today in preparation for
