L 4idß] SPORTS EDITOR,
PANTHERS HAVE DONE WELL
In its first year in American Legion Junior baseball,
Post 20 has come up with a hard-hitting, snappy-fielding
punch that had the patience and courage to stick it out
without even a field on which to play.
With the season almost over, the Panthers have com
piled a record that is far from bad and bordering on the
spectacular side for a team in its first season. All but two
or three of the players are in their first year of baseball.
They've knocked off 17 opponents and bowed to only six.
M. C. Michael, catcher, is the
leading hitter of the outfield. He's
a sophomore in college—and only
17! A real hustler, Mike bats lead-
Hff.
: Nathan William§, shortstop, is
the squad’s top man in home runs,
hits, doubles, triples and total
bases, which just about makes it
a clean sweep. He won the Toccoa
game with a pair of round-trippers
and hit for the circuit with the
pases full his first timeé up in the
recent tournament. He won both of
the games he pitched.
>* » 2
Also a Trojan standout in the
grid and court sports is John Mar
shall, the Panther conterfielder.
He's a good hitter and the best
fielder on the team. With a good
arm, Marshall is fast and a good
pase runner. His home run won
the game at Hartwell Saturday.
His knock in the first Greensboro
game was the longest of the year
by any of the Post 20-ers.
The workhorse of the Panthers
is Billy Coock, who may play some
left halfback for Athens High this
season. The likeable, kinky-haired
youngster has hurled in 14 games,
won eight and lost only two. He's
a form-book pitcher with a nice
curve. Cook’s chunking has saved
many a bleak aflernoon for the
Legionaires. |

Another good 15-year-old pros
pect takes care of the hot corner—
Richard Turner. Richard isn’t a
power hitter but he has a real
third baseman’s arm and is a
hustler to go with it .
Most of the outfielders are in
experienced but they hit well and
a majority will return next season.
Ted Short, a big boy 15 years old,
is promising. Clyde Dulaney start
ed hitting late but has produced
recently. He may pitch next year.
Don Parr is a great prospect with
a fielding ability and a whiplash
for an arm.
Cody Smith and Lee Ward are
others who have helped patrol the
outer gardens.

The outfit was hit hard when
Dan Tully, pitcher, went to the
Air Corps. The right-handed fast
baller has a 3-0 record, including
and three-hitter and seemed to be
getting warmed up for big things.
With Tully, they might have made
a differeni story out of the tourna
ment. As it was, though, they im
pressed the gathering there with
their hustle and success in their
first year of competition.

All the boys deserve a hand for
sticking despite the lack of a
home field. Their coach won’t take
any praise for himself, passes it
all on to his charges.
Incidentally, Coach Jack Jack
son. who absolutely won'’t take any
I of the laurels for himself, has con
tributed immeasureably to the
squad in baseball savvy. He held
the squad together in its slack
momemnts and mastered what ap
lpeared to be insurmountable dif
ficulties in getting the team or

JOHNNY MIZE HOMERS TWICE
AS GIANTS STAY IN SCRAMBLE
BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
It is still anybody’s race in the National League and as
long as big Johnny Mize keeps clouting those long ones,
the homer-hitting New York Giants are not to be sold
short.
Mize not only is keeping the
Giants very much in the pennant
fight, but is seriously threatening
what is probably the greatest
battle feat in baseball — Babe
Ruth’s recorg of 60 home runs
in the 1927 season,
The hard hitting first baseman
vralloped two into the Polo
grounds stands last night to lead
the Giants to a 5-2 wvictory over
Philadelphia. The victory, coup
led with Boston’s 4-2 decision
over Broklyn reduced the league
leading Dodgers’ margin over the
third place Giants to seven
games.
Threatens Ruth Kecord
The runner-up St. Louis Cards
now trail the Dodgers by six
games following their 8-2 tri
umph over the Cubs.
Mize’s pair of rounq trippers,
his 33rd and 34th of the season,
ceme in the Giants’ 96th game
and put him two games ahead

Re-Play Later
™ The Board of Gevernors
in the City Softball League
vesterday upheld its um
pires in a two-point protest
by Georgia Motors of their
game with Georgia Power
for the championship.
The Board, composed of Wayne
K. Shields, -Alex McCaskill and
E. B. Smitn ruled that (1) John
Zuccaro has entered the game in
legal playing time in the seventh
inning and was therefore eligible
tc make the putout at third; and
2, Bill Macsengale’s re-entry
inio the game after having once
been relieved by Zuccaro was il
legal. - S
Thus the game stands as a sev
en-inning tie and, by the rules,
it- must be re-played. However,
there are extenuating circum
stances and both Georgia Motors
and Georgia Power will enter
the state softball tournament in
Atlanta Aug. 14. .
Randall Bedgood, Georgia Mo
tors hurler, is out of town,
Shields said that the Board would
not make the Motormen play
without their best pitcher.
However, it ig quite probable
that the two will play in late Au
gust or quite possibly in early
September. - .
of Ruth’s record setting pace.
A home run with the bases
loaded by catcher Del Rice and
snother round tripper by Whitey
Kurowski highlighted a six-run
fourth inning and helped Harry
Brecheen and the Cards to gain
an easy victory.
The Pittsburgh Pirates dispos
ed of Cincinnati 12-4.

The Red Sox will play in Ath

burg Sluggers at the Westend park

In the Night Softball League at

took a 12-9 decision from the

Greene homered for the Hurri

four-base clouts for the Flashes.
The defeat preserved the
Flashes’ non-victory record in
the second half. They've lost four
in a row. Tonight they meet the
Ramblers at eight o’clock.
