Independent All - Stars Clash In Crawford Tomorrow
ATHENIAN ONCE PITCHED FIVE
GAMES ON FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS
Today in the parlatice of
baseball fans, and “iron
man’” is a pitcher who can
hurl a couple: of games a
week for maybe two weeks.
If he does it three weeks,
ihhe makes the sports page
headlines. And it’s rarely
done. ;
But back at the turn of the
century the Georgia Bulldogs had
a real “iron man.” He was one
v.ho turned the trick of pitching
five full games in five consecu
tive days.
His name is known to all Ath
enians: and to older athletic
supporters of the Red and Black.
He is Hugh H. Gordon, for many
years a resident of Athens be
fore moving to Miami, Fla.,, who
bas recently returned with his
wvife to tresume their residence
at 1045 Prince Avenue.
: Great Athlete
The Athenian, a more than
six-footer hefting over 200
vounds was one of Georgia’s
gueat athletes in the days when
aihletics were quite a bit more
rugged than they are today.
Prodded a bit about his’' ac
compiugaments, which almost cer
tainly set a collegiate record,
and possibly a national mark,
Mr. Gordon recalled a few of
the circumstances about ‘ais feat.
‘“lt happened in the spring of
1801, he said. Just before we
started out on our annual «trip
into the Carolinas, that Frank
¥idley. of LaGrange, one of our
best pitchers and captain of the |
team. was hurt. Then Luke Hul- ‘
gey. another of ourpiichers Xost|
his father and had to go home.
That left me the only pitcher on l
tiie staff and we had to playl
six games in as many days——
two each with Clemson, Trinityl
(now Duke) and the University
of North Carolina. The boys on
the team said, ‘Hugh it's up to
you.' and was I worried.
“We opened with Clemson, Il
nitched the first game and won
it. The next day I lost. Then we |
tangled with Trinity at Durham.
1 dropped the first game and
won the second and we moved
tc. Chapel Hill to play Novth
Carolina. By that time 1 was just
ahout exhausted, but there !
wasn’t anyone else to pitch. so I“
pitcoed the game against North
C'arolina and lost a close decis--‘
jon.”
i Relief Set Record |
The Athenian said he wanted
ts pitca the next day, but just
couldp’'t make it. After all, the
human arm can iake just so
much punishment anq then re
fusing to “snap kack” without
rest. So the Georgia coach
started Sterling Blackshear, a
third baseman, on the mound.
Blackshear set some kind of a
record of his own. Though he
rave everylhing he had, he was
noi a pitcher, remember, but a
third baseman, and walked
twenty-two men, Georgia losing
40 to 4. This still stands, after
forty-five years as the worst
licking Georgia baseball team
efg; received.
t. Gordon said that though
his arm was very tired at the
end of the five days of consecu

Known for years as a pitchers’ paradise, the National League ap
pears certain to yield that title to the American loop this season.
While the senior circuit is in danger of failing to procluce a single
20-. game winner for the first time since 1931 and only the second
time in its 70-year history, the younger circuit may boast four
pitchers in the select 25-game winner class. :
1 Only four times in the Majors
ihave that many pitchers of the
same league accounted for 25
victories apiece. The National
league quartet of Grover Alex
ander, Philadelphia, Dick Ru
dolph and Bil} James, Boston, and
Jeff Tesreau, New York, was the
’last to accomplish the feat in
1914.
' Each of the present quartet,
'Hal Newhouser of the Detroit
‘Tigers; Bob Feller, Cleveland In-’
‘dians; Pave Ferriss, Boston Red
Sox, and Spud Chandler, New
York Yankees, has pmssed the
10-victory mark with less than
half the schedule completed.
Newhouser, the great lefthand~-
er, is a veteran at winning 23,
and, with 13 victories under his
belt, stands the best chance to do
it again. Hal won 29 games for
the Tigers in 1944 and last sea
son he scored 25 victories.
Feller Good Bet
Feller, who reached the 25
triumph figure in his last twol
years before signing up with the
Navy in 1942, also”looks like a
