PREDICTS PASSAGE
. AUGUSTA, Ga.— () —Wilmer
D. Lanier, veteran Richmond
county legislator, Thursday pre
mted passage of a state highway
patrol bill and a state drivers’
license law.
- Lanier is co-author of a bill
setting up these highway safety
agencies with Judge Clem Sutton
of Washington, Ga., who will be
appointed house floor leader by
f'e paker-designate Roy V. Harris.
A highway patrol bill passed the
house during the last session of
the genera! assembly, but died in
the senate when Governor Tal-
Me made an attempt to place
control of the patrol under Adiu
tant General Lindley Camp, or
the national guard, Lanier said.
. Mayor Richard E. Allen, jr.,
several months ago suspended
operation of Augusta's drivers’
permit ordinance after he had
Mnotifled by the Richmond
Ewm.y delegation that a state
wide law would be introduced.

Body-Building Club Organized
At “Y" Curry Named Chairman
‘Club s Openwt; Anyone

| Body-Building
(By Y. M. C, A)
l In response to the wide interest
shown in the Y.M.C.A. Body Build
‘mg course and the fine results al
ready attained by this group, it
has been decided to form physical
culture enthusiasts in a special
club for the mutual benefit of all.
! The club will meet as a group
|once each week under the leader
{ship of the chairman and ingtruc
tors, at which time they will dis
| cuss latest and improved methods
!m’ body building and corrective
gymnastics and means of further
ing the club organization, The
club will largely be patterned after
the famous York club in this
!country and the Camberwell club
in England.
Willie Curry, a close student of
body-building methecas and an ex
ample of the fine results that can
be attained, has been appointed
ichairman of the club. Aside from
| planning programs and promoting
lmembershlp in the club, he will also‘
give instruction to members, Al
ready the list of charter members
is growing steadily and there is
every reason to believe that be-l
fore long Athens will have a club‘
that will rival some of the other
clubs that are forming all over the
country. 1
The far reaching benefits that
can be the outgrowth of such clubs
‘has been forcefully demonstrated
by the Camberwell club in England
whose influence has spread to all
parts of the British empire. Simi
lar results are being attained in
this country by the York club, who
in the short time or Its existance
has had a tremendous influence. As
the Camberwell club has tremen
dously influenced the national
physique and training methods in
England, so has the York club had
similar effect in this country. The
local club will in all probability
adopt the York methods as far as
possible.
Membership in the club is open
to all men in Athens. Those want
ing further information should get
in touch with the chairman or the
physical director of teh Y.M.C.A.

Some 20 Members of 10-
Year Men Expected to
Be Missing in '37
NEW YORK — (#® — oOld pop
timas iy wielding a heavy scythe
among the big league veterans for
1937.
Some 20 members of the select
society of ten-year men in the ma
jors already are definitely out or
are slated to see their action from
the sidelines when the wars start
About 17 others, still going strong,
will be initiated wnto the select
set,
Meantime, such “grandaddies” of
the game as Rogers Hornsby, Jim
my Dykes and Waite (Perpetual
Motion) Hoyt among the 20-year
men, and Frankie Frisch and Jesse
Haines, each with s years of ser
vice back of him, are laughing at
the reaper They're all down on
the lists of active players for their
ciubs for the coming season.
Bowing out of this latter group
is Charley Grimen, the Chicago
Cubs’ manager, who has done a lot
of first-basing in his 19 playing
years. For the first time, he is
off the club’s ‘“reserve list,” and
the chances are Charley has come
to the end of the trail for good.
Two widely-known products of
the John McGraw school with the
Giantg appear out of the lineup for
keeps. Travis Jackson, after 15-,
vears of third-basing, leaves the
big-time to manage a Giant farm;
his long-time teammate and boss
Bill Terry, is considering going on
the voluntary retirement lists.
I Mark Koenig, 12 years in the ma
l:lors and a member of five pennant
'winning outfits, saw his last action
' when the Giants lost the 1936
World Series. He was been given
his unconditional release. Among
the pitchers, General Alvin Crow
der already has announced his re
tirement, while the numbers ap
pear up for such other old-timers
as George Blaeholder, Ray Benge
George Earnshaw, Roy Mahaffey
and Rube Walberg.
Of those still left, the number
one veteran is Roge-s ifornsby. The
Rajah, if he sees any action with
the Browng this year, will be per
forming in his 23rd season up there
and that's along time in any league,
.Taking the place of the depart
ing veterans in the ten-year club
are three catchers, four outfielders.
two third-sackers and eight pitch
ers. Spud Davis, ¢he backstop and
Dutch Brandt, left-handed throws«
er, celebrate their “coming of age”
by switching clubs, the former
moving from the Cards to the Reds
with the possibility of keeping right
on moving to the Giants, while
Brandt leaves Brooklyn for Pitts
burgh.
Bill Dickey, the Yanks' catcher,
and Ray Hayworth, Mickey Coch
rane’s relief in Detroit, also go into
the ten-year group, ajong with
Chuck Klein, the Phillies’ homer
hammering flycraser and Jonathan
Stone of Washington among the
cutfielders, and third-baseman Joe
Stripp, the National league's best
at his position last season. Pinky
Whitney of the Phils' infield, is
another to reach his majority.

of the nation’s leading golfers to
the firing line today for the first
18 holes of the twelfth annual Los

There were 128 shotmakers qual
fied for the four-day meet with
its final 18-hole round scheduled
for Monday.
Winner-pickers shied away aft

One threesome comprised Mac-
Donald Smith of nearby Glendale,
young Horton Smith of Chicago,
and Ralph Guldahl of St. Louis.
MacDonald Smith arose from a
sick bed to play in the tourna
ment, a favorite with the veteran
carnoustie Scot. He has won it
four times.
Another threesome Harry Coop
er of Chicago, Vie (Ghezzi, Deal,
