Win In City Softball
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
Choke’s Cleaners whipped Athens Manuafcturing Com
pany, 9-3, on Uke Cape’s four-hitter, and Athens V. F.
W. grabbed a quick lead and hung on to upset Bell’s
Food Market last night, as play continued in the City
Softball League at Legion Park.
. Cape fanned seven and walked
only one in stopping the Manufac
turing team. James Fitzpatrick,
fiiching his second game in two
ghts, was touched for 10 hits
over the route, with the big blows
being home runs by Cape and
Seagraves. Dupree Wilkes slam
med a triple and Junior Colley
collected a double that was errored
into a four-base knock to complete
the heavy stickwork.
~Coy Lee Jordan belted two sin
gles in three trips to the plate to
pace the Manufacturing nine,
while Fitzpatrick and George Fin
ger were responsible for the other
hits. Loose fielding fgain was
costly for the Manufacturers, six
errors being marked against the
losers.
Leading Hitterc
Wilkes, with three for four;
Cape, with two for four; and Dee
Allen, with two for four and two
runs knocked in, paced the Clean
ers.
Athens V. F. W. staged a first
inning uprising that put them
ahead of Bell’s to stay in the sec
ond game of the night. A combi
nation of three base hits, four
bases on balls, and a pair of stolen
bases accounted for the runs. Bob
by James’ base-cleaning triple was
the big knock in the inning.
' Bell’s came back with a single
run in the second frame and two
more in the third, but the youth
ful Vet team chalked up two more
runs in the fourth game to stay
comfortably ahead. Three Bell
pitchers—Dummy Farr, Clarence
Fitzpatrick, and Aubrey Simmons
—saw action in the tilt, with V.
F, W.’s Elliott Smith going the
route.
Browning Gets Three
Smith was tagged for seven hits,
three of them by James Brown
ing, but none went for extra bases.
?plés by Avery Harvill and
‘James sparked the five-hit per
formance of V. F. W.
Simmons did a good job of put
‘ting out the fire when he relieved
¢in the fifth, as only two men
reached base during his stint and
‘one of them was cut down on a
‘double play. Simmons struck out
three men and walked one.

DIAMOND HILL PLAYS GAME
AT WATKINSVILLE; LEAGUE
CHAMPIONSHIP IN BALANCE
The champion of the Independent Baseball League
will be virtually decided tomorrow afternoon on the
Watkinsville baseball field when Diamond Hill plays
Watkinsville’s Insurers in the feature game of the Imde
pendent schedule.
Diamond Hill will go into the
Watkinsville fray only a half-game
behind the pace-setting Insurers.
Victory for Diamond Hill would
put them a half-game ahead of the
Watkinsville, nine, but defeat
would clinch the first-half pen
nant for Watkinsville, leaving the
Insurers a game and a half ahead
with only a game apiece for the
two contenders to play.
Farmington, now in third place
in the league standings, is mathe
matically out of the race. A full
two-and-a-half games off the
pace, the Farmington lads have
but two tilts to play and therefore
can’t win or tie in the first-half
standings,
Other League Games
Comer invades Athens V. F. W.
in another game tomorrow, while
Stathag and Colbert battle it out
in a second-division tilt. Farming

J. B, Farr Defends
High Jump Laurels
ATLANTA, June 3—(AP)—The
annual Southeastern track meet at
Georgia Tech Saturday night will
find six of last year’s individual
champions on hand to defend their
titles.
Buddy Fowlkes, peppery Tech
ace, will be back to guard his
broad jump laurels, and George
Bailey, another Tech star, will seek
to keep his leadership in the 220
yard dash.
Three of the defending titlists
are from Auburn—Joe Pennington
in the high and low hurdles, Jim
my Walker in the 100 vard dash,
and Whitey Overton, the sterling
two-miler.
Overton is highly favored to win
both the mile and the two-mile
events. These distances are rou
tine for the fleet footed Auburn
runner. He’s come out first in
both the SEC and the Interconfer
ence meets.
The sixth defending champion
is J. B. Farr of Georgia, who spe
cializes in the high jump.
Six records—all in the running
events—are threatened. The field
records seem pretty well buttoned
up. Georgia Tech is the defending
champ.
~ Tom Dickey Featured
Tom Dickey, former LSU star,
Téth’s Bob Renshaw, and Dickie
Flournoy of Auburn will meet in
one of the feature events—the half
mile. Dickey, who has been work

FIVE HOMERS ONE INNING
Philadelphia N
NL Fence-Busters
; BY JACK HAND { W
(Associated Press Sports Writer) A m‘-"
Hail the fighting Phillies-——new fence-busting champs
of baseball.
Five home runs in a smashing eighth-inning rally last
night put tlie 1949 Phils in the record books alongside
the 1939 New York Giants. No more futile Phils.
Only once before in modern
baseball has a team hit five ho
mers in one inning. The Giants
did it 10 years ago at the Polo
Grounds after two were out. In
both cases, Cincinnati was the
vietim,
Andy Seminick, who nicked
Cincinnati pitching for three ho
mers last night made the Phils’
feat distinct because he hammer
ed two in the same inning. That
tied a major league mark shared
by several players. ’ T
Del Ennis’ homer started the
big inning, which opened with
Ken Raffensberger enjoying a 3-2
lead. Seminick came next. Before
it was over 10 runs werc home
and Puddin’ Head Jones, School
boy Rowe and Seminick again
had hit the ball out of the park.
Seminick’s second of the inning
came with two on.
In addition to the homers,
Jones just missed second time
around with a ftriple and Gran
Hamner's double also crashed
against the wall, a few feet short
of going into'the stands.
Counting Seminick’s earlier
homer, the Phils had six for the
noght, only on short of the Nation
al League record.
Increase Lead
Warren Spahn boosted the Bos
ton Braves’ National League lead
to two full games by defeating
Pittsburgh, 4-1, while both the
New York Giants and Brooklyn
Dodgers lost.
Brooklyn’s Don Newcombe
blew a 4-1 lead in the ninth and
