‘Learn From Other Pitchers’--Shea

Frank (Spec) Shea, Yankee
pitcher who won two World Se
ries games last fall, believes con
trol and a knowledge of hitters
are the most important things to
a big league pitcher.
“You've got to have control,”
says Shea who won 14 games and
Second of a Saries
lost tive as a freshman last sea
son. “Lou also have to study the
hitters_ Hitting certein spots wsh
your pitchers is very important,
too, and you've got to know what
hitters can hit and what they
can’t hit,
“You have to keep asking vet
eran pitchers. I've gone over the
different American League line
ups several times with Spud
Chandler who was a Yankee since
1937. Few pitchers pitch alike
but they can tell you a batter’s
weakness. Some go for fast balls
and others for curves, That's the
stuff you've got to know.”
Shea’s best pitch is his fast
ball. “It's not too fast,” says the
25-year-old native of Naugatuck,
Conn., “but it taes off. It’'s a'ive

~ The second four weeks session
at Athens Y Camp seems to be
‘following suit of the first month
' with quite a bit of precipitation
‘holding up many of the schedul
‘ed activities. ‘
i However, between the show
ers has been much action and
Athens campers have figured
prominently into it. Boxing and
track highlighted the week-end
program, with the planned water
carnival Sunday being rained
out.
In boxing two Classic . City
mites emerged victorious and an
other was not quite so fortunate.
Fhil Durden pounded out a win
over Orlando, Florida’s Warren
Wakeman in a fast 60 poums
battle, while Randy Bowen, of
Savannah, gained revenge for a
wrestling defeat by topping his
previous victor, ‘Squeaky” Simp
son in a @ose 75 pound go,
Battling Billy |
Battling Billy Bowers, 70 pound
Atlanta scrapper, who has been
on nearly every wrestling and
boxing card of camp, added an
other feather to his cap by win
ning over Richard Harris, a tough
number from Macon, tipping the |
scives at 65 pounds. The Wake
man boys had a bad night with
Warren's brother Jehn falling be- |
fore the fast fists of Athens’ Tom
my Wilkins in the semi-final 90
pound match. 1
The main feature on the pro
gram saw Luke Glancy, Atlanta,
Wiwie Valls, Havana, Cuba, Char
les Hull, Decatur, Cuyler Find
ley, Macon, and Bill Compton,
Athens in a three - round free
for-a¥. Each wore one glove and
referee, Jim Mitchell, protected
himself with two miits. This
‘proved to be a wise precaution
for in the last round all the boys
lturned on the ump and provided
.the growd with a generous
amount of laughter.
The resuits of the Younger
Boys (6-8) track meet were as
follows: Broad Jump — Pat Lit
[tle, Savannah; Arthur Turner,
' Macon; Phil Durden, Athens;
100 vard Dash — John Wakeman,
'Orlando, Fla.; Pat Little, Arthur
‘Turner,and Cross Country — Ar

Independent
’ BY BILL HUFF
Two games take the spotlight
today in.the Independent Loop'
‘as the league nears an end.
Farmington will take on Wat
kinsville today on the latter’s
‘diamond in one of the top games‘
of the day.
Farmington got off its five
game losing streak last Sunday
by downing Colbert, 27-12, and
will be in there fighting today to
stay in the winning column and
knock Watkinsville out of first
place. Farmington’s record for
this half now stands at two vic
tories and five loss.es but they
could upset Watkinsville’s chan
ces of winning this second half.
Watkinsville only played six
innings last Sunday before the
rain came with the score tied
6-6. The Watkinsville nine’s rec
ord now stands at five wins and
one defeat. Watkinsville will need
this game today to stay ir the
second half flag race.
- Farmington will start either
Harvey or Fowler on the muond
with Brock or Beardon on hand
for Watkinsville.
VFW-Walton Mills
The local VFW encounters
Walton Mills of Monroe on the
local’s diamond at Princeton ir
the other top game of the day.
The locals will have to play
hard today to take Monroe into
their hands and stay in first
place. The locals now have a rec
ord of four victories and one de
feat.
Monroe’s’ hopes for winning
this half was nipped in the bud
last week when Nicholson upset
them 9-8 and since there are only
two games left to play in this
half there is not much chance for
them winning this half. Monroe’s
record now. stands at five wins
and two defeats.
VFW will start Panter on the
mound with J. Mosley hurling
for Monroe.
Colbert-Comer
Colbert moves into Comer to
day to take on the Comer nine.
Colbert lost its game with
Farmington last Sunday but they
will be back into shape today to
get back in the winning column
and try to take this game from
Comer. Colbert’s record now
stands at two wins and five
losses. :
Comer was rained out last
Sunday and should be all set to
go today against Colbert in what
should be a close game. Comer
has won two and-lost five games
this half. :
Colbert will start Logan on
the mound while Comer will
start Lord.
Nicholson-Whitehall
Whitehall will journey to
Nicholson to take on' the Nichol
son nine.
Nicholson pulled an upset over
Monroe last Sunday and they
will be all set to try to do the
same thing again today but this
time to Whitehall. They have a
very good chance of doing it if
they can play ball today as
they did last Sunday.
Whitehall was rained out last
week and will be ready to go to
day but they will have to be on
their toes when they meet this
dangerous Nicholson nine. Nich
olson has a record of two wins
and four losses, while Whitehall’s
record stands at four victories
and one defeat. . ,
Nicholson will start Pete Davis
on the mound while Whitehall
will start John Marshall.
Statham-Piedmont Motors
~ Statham will go over to Dia
‘mond Hill to take on the Pied
mont Motors nine.
~ Statham won their first game
'in this half two weks ago and
was making a good showing
against Watkinsville last Sunday
until it started raining and the
game had to be called in the
‘seventh inning with the score
‘tied 6-6. Statham has a record of
‘one win and four defeats in this
half.
Piedment Motors lost a close
one to VFW last Sunday but
they will be back in there today
‘to try to take this one from Sta
tham. Piedmont’s record nnw
stands at three wins and four
defeats this half.
There are only two games re
maining in this half and the win
ner of this half will meet White
hall in a three out of five play
off for the championship of the
Independent League. There will
be a play-off if Whitehall
doesn’t win this half too.
All league games start at 3 o
m. and the price of admission is
25 cents.

sored by the American Legion
Allen R. Fleming, Jr. Post No. 20,
is in the process of being set-up
today.

Greenway, Turner
To See 'Star Dut
By 808 OLIVER, Banner-Herald Sports Editor
Fifty-four football piayers, including Athens’ Ed Greenway, and 24 basketball
performers—with another Classic City representative, Jack Turner, in the bunch—-will
arrive in Atranta tomorrow morning for the annuai Ail-Star games, co-sponsored by
the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association and one of the Atlanta newspapers.
The football game is scheduled
for Wednesday night Aug. 18 at
8:15, and the site is Tech’s Grant
Field. The Yellow Jacket gym will
be the scene of the basketball
clash, Saturday night the 14th.
College Park Quarters
All players for the two games
will be quartered at Georgia Mili
tary Academy in College Park, a
suburb of Atlanta.
Athens will have two of the
state’s top athletes in the com
petition. Greenway’s reputation in
the Trojan line for three seasons is
a very commendable one. He made
All -State honors twice, and carried
away league honors a similar num
ber of times. He was captain of
ithe grid team his senior year.
Turner, one of the greatest
cagers in Athens High history,
scored almost 400 points the past
campaign to spark one of the best
basketball aggregations here since
the '4l-42 state champs. “Leftie”
made all-district and all-state
honors his last trip and has held
the former honor twice. Both boys
are expected to play major rolls
in the All-Star games. 4
A crowd upwards of 35,000 is
expected for the big football battle
on the Wednesday night of the
18th. A’ packed house is also a
foregone conclusion for the cage
affair. \

Tickets to the football game are
going fast. Fans in -Athens who
will want-to be on hand to see
Greenway in particular and the
future stars of tomorrow in gen
eral, should order their tickets at
once. Reserved seats are $2, gen
eral admission $1 and children are
admitted for 50 cents. You can
obtain these by ordering through

MeClung . Is
Star Player
At Jefferson
BY TOM WILLIAMS
Following a lay-off Wednesday
because of rain and wet grounds
the Jefferson Baseball School
}came back into full swing the
last two days with 65 boys at
ltending the sessions. Instructions
in base running and infield tac
tics were featured showing play
ers and coaches how the St
ILouis Cardinal signal system is
lused. Cardinal scout, Mercer
Harris, gave the valuable good
words on big league methods of
infield operation with practical
demonstrations.
Coaches attending the school
Thursday included Drane Watson
of Gainesville High School and
manager of the Gainesville Broil
ers, semi-pro baseball club; Tom
Ridert of Buford, and Eddie An
derscr. of Washington High
Schooi.
“Abie” McClung
Among the dozen or more
boys who are now playing base
ball of league caliber in the Jef
ferson school, Earl “Abie” Mr-
Clung was snatched up by the
ever - observing scout Mercer
Harris. The 18-year-old Lindale
catcher proved quite a sensation
in training ‘games Monday and
Tuesday with a 180-pound weight
that will make him ready for
play when he arrives in Duluth,
Minn. McClung will go immedi
ately on the active rosetr, accord
ing to Harris. Duluth, a Cardinal
farm club in the Northern Lea
gue, suffered the loss of its play
ers when six, including Manager
George Tredwelf were killed and
13 others injured last week in a
bus crash.
Lindale Hopeful
According to Harris two other
Lindale boys are ready for the
leagues and will probably be
signed when eligible. Although
not officially confirmed it is ex
pected that one of the Atlanta
players now in the Georgia Lea
gue will be signed to a major
league contract Friday. School
directors Harris, Alf Anderson,
Tubby Walton and Guy Miller
have watched a number of out
standing talent who will be tab
bed for league ball. Most of the
boys appearing in the Jefferson
School are not eligible to be con
tracted because of age and
school.

versity, football coach, has a five
vear. contract as new coach a_f the
Detroit Lions in the National
Football League.
