BOXING ON HORIZON
A curious public gets first preliminary sight of Georgia
boxers near the end of this month if amrangements can be
made for exhibition matches. :
Coach Pete Tarpley has been working with the Bull
dog ringmen for over a month and some of them look
“pretty fair.”
The is litle doubt that the pug
ilists have a long way to go be
fore they reach top conditioning.
But most of that will come next
fall since bouts are not scheduled
until the winter season.
“Bunny” Pritchett, a - 148-
pound hooker with a nice punch
and enough speed, has been one
of the outstanding candidates thus
far. Pritchett hits hard and has
had a bit of experience George
R, and Jack Poole, two others in
the same weight classification,
are smart boxers aund will be
counted upon when the regular
matches roll around.
At present writing, heavy
weights Godfrey “Goot” Steiner
and Jack Dempsey Wood top
that crop. Wood a hefty blond,
fought in the service and has not
had a chance yet to show what
be reaily can do. under. fire. He
packs a nice right-hand wallop
and is on, of the leading heavy
weights.
‘Steiner, always known as a
battler, isn’t in top shape, but
he’s a puncher of the first water.
“Goot” had several amateur
bouts. while a prep. schooler in
Birmingham and rates alongside
Wood as the class in the divisien.
Tom Mobley a 6-foot-4-inch
190-pounder, will pick up with
experience. A left and an apti
tude for learning are his greatest
assets thus far.
There are others who may,
and undoubtedly will, round the

"Challengers Batile"
BY ALLEN COLLIER
Walton Mills of Monroe,
currently in second place in
the Independent League
standings behind Athens
VFW and. Whitehall, in
vades the Ag Hill baseball
diamond Sunday-at three to
take on Athens VFW in
what might well be termed
a “challengers’ battle.”
While the two foremost chal
lengers of the loop-leading White
hall are battling it out here, the
first place club will be entertain
ing Mallison-Braided Cord in
Whitehall. Winder will be in
Nicholson, in quest of their sec
ond win after they routed Malli
son-Braided Cord, 31-6 last week.
Watkinsville, losers by a 6-10
count to Athens last week, is host
to Statham, who dropped a con
test to Walton Mills.
Walton Mills, winners in two
straight games after falling to
Whitehall in the seasons opener, is
the last obstacle for Bobby Gen
try’s nine before they meet White
hall here next Sunday in the
erucial game of league play thus
far.
Walton Mills is generally con
ceded to have the best team out
side of Whitehall, and some think
that they will hand the locals their
first setback,
Whitehall Conceded Victory
Whitehall is generally conceded
the game with Mallison-Braided,
but it is usually the little ones
who defeat the big ones. Nichol
son, almost turned the trick last
Sunday when they pushed the de
fending champions into an extra
inning. Walton Mills, who went
down before the Whitehallers in
Monroe, stand a good chance to
defeat Whitehall when the two
meet again on the last day of play
122 the first half which ends June
Athens VFW, the team with al
most every chance of taking
Whitehall out of the ranks of the
undefeated ranks two Sundays
hence, might fail. The locals have
been in a playing slump almost
as bad as that of the St. Louis
Cardinals, although their records
haven’t shown it. There has not
been as much life and activity on
a ball club the calibre of VFW as
there should.
I Their hitting and fielding has
'not been of the quality that was
,expected, although there have
been several bright moments in
their games.
Watch Winder
Word is going, around that Win
der may be the team to walch in
the next half. Athens manager
Bobby Gentry believes that they
are the best hitting club his team
has yet engaged. If Otis Ander
son’s nine turns up with a good
mound corps the second haif, it is
possible that his team might be
the second half titlists if not the
league champion.
If Jack Clifton stays with White
lhall, they may have the mounds
men they need. Clifton is the latest
addition and will be eligible to
piteh against the VFW when they
meet the defending champions
here.
Clifton, who was a wicked
hurler for Georgia several years
back, has a brother, Bob, on the
VFW squad, but the chances of
a brother vs brother mound duel
are not very promising at the
moment,
Starting batteries for the teams
had not been turned in for all the
teams, although Winder manager
Otis Anderson said he intended to
‘start Ray Kilgore on the mound
;against Nicholson. J
worked his magic on the Boston!
Club with a seven-hitter. I
" Ralph Kiner, the 1946 leagueg
home run champ, found the range
in “Greenberg Gardens” and hit|
two over the wall in Pittshurgh’s
romp over Brooklyn.
Five Cincinnati homers, two by
Eddie Lukon, served to cement
rookie Ed Erutt’s first big league
triumph. f

BY EDWIN POPE ‘
Sports Editor
Neither Georgia nor Geor
gia Tech had an abundance
of incentive as they went at
each other’s throats here
today at four o’clock and
prepared for a second en
gagement in Atlanta tomor
row afternoon. But Bulldogs
and Jackets generally don’t
require much incentive ex
cept each other.
Bob Callahan was to pitch
against the Engineers this after
noon, and Bob Still will get the
nod tomorrow. The Jackets field a
well-knit nine,. but have played
only three games this season and
no real indication of their strength
has been given. At any rate, they
are probably not in the running
for the district play-offs, since
they started late and do noct play
enough conference games,
Out Of Race
For that matter, the Bulldogs
themselves are as good as out of
the race. They would have to win
every remaining tilt' on the
schedule to even contend, and that
is hardly likely.
The normal line-up of Captain
“Chicken” Gatewood behind the
plate, “Chub” Jenkins on first, Eli
Maricich at second, Virgil Bartlett
at shortstop, and J. W. Spruill on
third is expected to start both
games. Picket patrolmen include
Tommy Jordan in left, Morton
Smith in center and Billy Hender
son in right.

S. E. C. TRACK MEET
l BY CHICK HOSCH
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May
16. i (AP) ~— One of the
largest fields in the history
of the Southeastern Con
ference track meets was
entered today as officials
prepared to run off the
trials in 10 of the 15 events
for the 15th annual meet.
Everything pointed to one of
the best meets in the past decade
as winners in all except two of |
last year's events got set to de-‘
fend their tities. Adding interesti
also was the fact that all ot las‘li
|year’s winning marks were bet
teved in recent meets with two‘
exceptions. |
Down for competition today
(were preliminaries in all except
five events—the mile, the two |
’mile. the relay, the pole vault
events carry off for tomorrow's
liinals. but winning times in the
various races count only for
qualification in the finals, or' in
event a record is broken,
In past years, several records
have been set in the trials, and
two of them still stand — in the
half mile by Dave Rogan of Ken
tucky, in 1937 and in the shot put
by Jack Torrance of Louisiana
State, in 1935.

iS.tate, teams which have finished
‘either first or second in the past
five years, are favored to win the
Al Doonan Trophy, with the for
mer having a slight edge on the
basis of able contenders in every
event except the poie vault. LSU,
winner of the team trophy in ev
ery years but three, is the defend
ing champion.
Other teams regarded as capa
ble of finishing in the top group
are Mississippi State, Tulane, Au

Bears at the plate with three for
four, including a pair of doubles.
