' ington: “B” Team Alsol
Is Victorious Saturday |
By F. M. WILLIAMS ]I
Dame fortune, which has been
throwing its lucky smile at Atheni!
High school’s boys basketball teami
for the past few weeks, trowned'@
on the Maroons last night and’
Carnesville took a one-point re
venge victory, 19 to 18, ‘
It was the second successive night
that a game had ended on the 10-‘
cal court with only one point b(e-l
tween the two teams. Friday
night Athens had a 16 to 15 ad
vantage over Hartwell. Athens
‘beat «Carnesville there by a 26-21
score,
Last night's game was a thrill
er from the very start, with a%
last minute rally by the Maroon¢
almost clinching things. However.!
with three.minutes to play, Carn-|
esville staged g spurt that netted‘
four points, and the victory. i
Thomas, Carnesville’s center,
tosseq in the winning basket, and
Ragsdale, a substitute forward,
got 'the goal that helped over
come Athens' three-point advant-l
age. I
Carnesville jumped into a 6 tol
2 lead in the first part of the
game, but couldn’t hold on to it,
and led at the enq of the half, 8}
to 6. The Maroons tied things upl
in the third quarter, which ende(il
12-12. Then, with the score 15 to
13 against them, Athens boys got
hot and with Hudson and Wood
sinking shots that were mighty
difficult, took an 18 to 15 lead.
But, it was too good to be true, |
‘and Carnesville came back to win. |
Tt was one of the best games of
the season, with Athens' great lit
tle forward, Jimmy Hudson, again
the outstanding star of the game.
Hudson was high-point man with
eight markers, and in the last
‘second of the game tossed g goal
that almost went through, butl
idipped out. Neal was best for
Carnesville, with seven markers.
Two pteliminary games were
played, with Athens girls romping
on Washington, 35 to 23, and the|
Maroon “B” team winning from
the Washington varsity, 28 to 8.
Tucker and Callahan led the girls
im victory, while Jackson was oute
standing for Washington.

There is quite an unusual story
connected with the State Mutual
Insurance company, a local office
of which company is being estab

representative, with R. C. Whit
‘aker as special agent.
~ There's nothing unusual in agents
selling insurance, even in large
lsums, but itis unusual when prom
inent citizens of a town organize
into volunteer teams and try to
outstrip each ecther in selling in
surance for a company as a trib
ute to that company.
Impossible, you say?
Not at all. It woas done in
Rome, Ga., anq what's more, the
nineteen competitive teams and
one non-competitive outfit wrote
an even million dollars worth in
twelve days. The drive, organized
by citizens of Rome, was slated
to last one month and it was com
pleted in a dozen days. So en
thusiastic were the volunteer in
surance salesman that the cam
paign was extended several days
because the goal had been advan
cea another quarter-million.
Leading team was headed by
John M. Graham with $200,000,
with the C. R. Wilcox team in
seécond place with $77,5600 and W.

Baseball Players Tourna
ment Almost Certain to
Co to Sammy This Year
SARASOTA, Fla. —(#)— 'Sammy
Byrd, baseball’s par-busting golf
er, virtually had the National
baseball players golf champion
ship “in the bag” last night and
was almost a sure bet to walk oft
with the Powel Crosley trophy af
ter Sunday’s final round.
Byrd played his shots in bril
liant fashion Saturday to posta 70,
one under par, and make a 654-
hole score of 214, a lead of 11
strokes over his nearest compe
titors. Last year Wesley Ferrell
Boston Red Sox hurler, won the
event with a 72-hole score of 312.
Paul Derringer, lanky Cincinnati
pitcher; Lloyd Brown, Cleveland
southpaw, and Garland Braxton,
Milwaukee hurler, were tied for
runner-up honors with 225 each
for the 54 holes.
Paul Waner, Pittsburgh outfield
er and National league batting
champion, held fifth position with
226, while Ferrell, the defending
champion, was sixth with 228.
Jack Russell, Boston Red Sox pit
cher, was seventh with 229.
Faltering badly, Dizzy Dean, St.
L.ouis hurling ace, came up with
an 81 and slipped back into eighth
position. His total score was 234.
Dizzy’s failure was charged by
some to the fact that Mrs. Dean
failed to trail him about the course
Saturday. A drizzling rain that
fell during g vart of the play prob
ably kept her in the club house.

Big Leaque Baseball Salaries To
Exceed $3,000,000 During Season
Aggregate Payroll Shows
Huge Increase; Yanks
Will Pay the Most
By ALAN GOULD
NEW YORK.—(&)—The upward
trend in big league baseball sala
ries will send the aggregate pay
roll beyond $3,000,000 for 1937, an
Associated Press survey indicated
Saturday.
The combined total for the 16
major leaue clubs will be the
highest since 1930-31, the peak
years. The boom-time aggregate,
however, ran well over $3,500,000
per season before the big down-I
ward dip from the days when
Babe Ruth collected $85,000 101'!
his baseball chores. i
The Babe's old companion in
clout, Henry Louis Gehrig, is newy
the highest paid performer. The
Yankees’ famous “iron man” also
is among the first potential hold
outs of the new year, on the theory |
that his great 1936 season entitles
him to a substantial boost over|
the $31,000 he has been paid for
each of the past two campaigns |
Despite the upswing in -saia.ries!
of most stars, the demands of the
hired hands may be as vociferous |
as it was last spring, when the
first of March found about 50
holdouts sticking to their guns.
Two perennial hold-outers, Dizzy
Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals
and Van Lingle Mungo of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, already have
lifted their voices to defiant pitch.
It’s still a trifle early, however,?
to forecast the extent of the an
nual salary struggle. The mood of
the magnates, to judge from eary
reports, is one of comparative
generosity, as a result of substi
tution of black ink for red in most
front-office books.
Player salaries for the two New
York clubs which shared in Worid
Series profits will be substantial
ly increased. The Yankees, who
yieded top ranking rposition in the
payroll department last year to
the affluent Boston Red Sox, prob
ably will go to the head of the list
for 1937 with an aggregate salary
list exceeding $300,000. |
In addition to Gehrig, the Yan-‘
kees have the highest paid man- |
ager in the business, Joe McCar~‘
thy, who gets $35,000, under a |
long-term contraTt. McCarthy’s
nearest rivals, under contract“
terms, are: Mickey Cochrane, De
troit, $30,000; Bill Terry, Giants,‘
$27,500; and Joe Cronin, Red Sox.l
$25,000, |
The payrolls of the Red Sox,‘
Giants, Detroit Tigers, Chicago
Cubs, and St. Louis Cardinals!
likely will exceed $250,000 each
this year. The average for the
past few years has been well un
der $200,000 per club. ;

! Edgar Allen Poe Was
| Grandson of Benedict
' Allen, Athenian Finds
Judge Henry C. Tuck. who 1
more familiar with old Athens
newspapers than any other living
citizen a few days ago discovered
in the Athens Georgian, a news
paper that succeedea the old South
| ern Banner and later became the
Athens Banner, a news item stal
ing that Edgar Allen Poe wag the
grandson of Benedict Arnold.
Judge Tuck copied the item
found on the right hand column
lOf the front page of the Athens
Georgian December 21, 1875. The
item follows:
“The Utica Obsercer mentions
'as a fact which has escaped the
:notice of all his biographers that
Edgar Allen Poe wag the grand
son of gienedict Arnold. His mo
ther who was known as Elizabeth
iArnold. an English actress, was
the natural daughter of the traitor
This statement rests on the coT”
'currenn testimony of a number of
' old acters, who: Know Elizabeth
Arnold well. Poe himself alluded
to the matter occaslonally, in th°
company of those who knew this
chapter in his family history.”
