Choke's Ag Hillers
Win City League Tilts
.
Hartman Hurls Two-Hitter;
Allen Blanks Athens VFW
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
Charlie Hartman limited Athens Manufacturing to two
scratch hits last night and got plenty of slugging support
from his teammates as the Ag Hill entry in the City Soft
ball League bowled over the Manufacturing team, 12-1,
for their first win in the league.
Hartman had his shutout spoil
ed in the first inning when he
‘relinquished the lone Manufact
uring run on Tim Cartey’s hit,
a walk, three errors by Ag Hill,
and a fielrder’s choice. Not an
other base hit was given up by
the Ag Hill twirler until the
fifth inning when shortstop Pey
ton found the range for a sin
gle.
Home runs by two Ag Hillers
highlighted the stick support,
with another hit being stretched
into a tally on an outfield mis
cue. Both first-baseman Cross
]and third-sacker Cooper hit for
the big circuit, and Denney col
lected a two-bagger.
Suffers By Errors
James Fitzpatrick, Manufactur
‘ing moundsman, gave up only
eight hits over the seven-inning
‘span, but suffered six bobbles by
his mates. Fitzpatrick fanned two,
as Hartman sent 10 back to the
bench on strikes. “Little Fitz”
walked two and Hartman one.
Dee Allen had his control
working, too, in the opening tilt
of last night's double-header, and
blanked Athens V. F. W., 4-0, on
a neat four-hit hurling job. Allen
was never in any trouble and let
only six men get to the base paths
during the game.
Bartow Strickland slashed a
home run to deep centerfield for
the longest hit of the first tilt, and
Dupree Wilkes banged out a triple
that scored one run ahead of him.
Strickland, with another single,
had two for three, as did Sonny
Saye, fancy fielding third baseman
on the Vet nine. Saye singled in
the third and sixth innings, and
executed a beautiful grab of Sea
graves’ deep pop-up to end the
fourth inning.
Choke’s Scores
Bobby Hendricks allowed only
six hits to the Choke’s team, and
was protecting a shutout until
Strickland’s blast in the third.
Junior Colley lived on a fielder’s
choice and tallied on Wilkes’ tri
ple that frame, and Choke’s added
their other two in the sixth on
Uke Cape’s single, a wild pitch,
Ed Hansford’s single, and a costly
overthrow to third base.
Allen struck out seven and
Hendricks fanned five, Hendricks
walking two and Allen one. The
game was played in record time
of 58 minutes flat, the first time
this season the opener has been
completed in less than an hour.
The V. F. W. team sees action
in the opening game again this
evening, meeting Athens Manu
facturing Company at 7 o’clock in
the twilight affair. Bell’s Food
Market will vie with Bedgood
Lumber Company, currently in a
first-place tie in standings, in the
Warblers Win YM(A
Midget Championship
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
Williams® Warblers today are the Midget softball
champions at the Athens Y. M. C. A. They captured the
crown yesterday afternoon by winning the final World
Series game from Lanard’s Lizards, 14-10. :
The tournament winning War
blers and league leading Lizards
split in the other four games of the
World Series, and in yesterday’s
pay-off tilt the score was close all
the-way. |
The winners got 19 hits in thei
tilt while the losers collected 11
hits. Captain Jimmy Williams’'
Warblers walked no men and er
rored five times while Captain
Lou Lanard’s Lizards walked
three men and committed six
miscues.
The Midget league play was
close all season, and the tourna
ment was a hard-played one. This
is the first World Series in all the
“y"” play-offs having to go the
entire five games. ‘
The local “Y” spring softball
program ended with this game, but
summer leagues will be organized

By The Associated Press
Mobile swept both ends of a
doubleheader with the Travelers
of Little Rock, 5-3 and 5-4, last
night and went into a tie with
Nashville for third place in the
Southern Association.
Some good pitching from Pete
Wojie paid off the Bears in the
opener. Wojie set the Travs down
on five hits.
George Shuba did some steady
hitting and Bill Antonello demon
strated daring base running as the
Bears took their third triumph
from the Rocks. The Pebs threat
ened in the ninth of the nightcap
by scoring a run and filling the
bases with only one out. John
Creel popped out however, and
Alex De La Garza whizzed a
grounder to make the third out.
Six consecutive singles were
hit by Shuba before he was stop
l ped by Charlie Giddens in the fi
| nale, |
The first#lace Baron of Birm
ingham split a double bill with
Chattanooga. They won the cur
tain-raiser, 3-2, and the Lookouts
were victorious in the second game
12 to 7.
The Memphis Chicks, tail-end

third victory in a row by whip

defeated Freddy Flores, a rugged

this plan b':eaks |
the ngative habit
If you t.a'ke 'lmtivel regularly—here’s how !
"fie;ixié‘g New Yor‘l: doctors now hge
prove@'zou may break the laxative habit. Lhd !
establish your natural powers of regularity.,
Eighty-three per cent of the cases tested did it,
So can you.
Stop taking whatever you now take. In
stead: Every night for one week take 2 Carter's
Pills. Second week—one each night. Third
week—one every other night. Then—nothing! |
Every day: drink eight glasses of water; set .
a definite time for regularity.
Five New York doctors proved this plan |
can break the laxative habit.
How can a laxative break the laxative }
habit? Because Carter’s Pills “‘unblock’ the
lower digestive tract and from then on let it l
make use of its own natural powers.
Further—Carter’s Pills contain no habit
forming drugs.
Breai the laxative habit . . . with Carter’s l
Pills . . . and be regular naturally.
When worry, overeating, overwork make
you irregular temporarily—take Carter's Pills l
wmrfly. én% never get tg§ laxatti:e‘ hxgli.‘ ;

“As Stan Musial goes, so go the St. Louis Cardinals.”
Musial got off to a miserable start. So did the Cards,
On May 24, just 15 days ago, St. Louis’ three-time batting
champ was hitting a puny .250. Accordingly, the Cardi
nals were mired in seventh place with a 12-17 won and
lost record. A : . j
Since then, Stan the man has
rapped out 22 hits in 58 times at
bat for a .379 batting average. Con
formably, the Redbirds went on a
tear, winning 13 of the 15 games.
Today, Musial i
