State Junior Golf Tournament, left Friday afternoon for Houston,
texas, and play in the National tourney sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
This years’ State tourney was held in Savannah, The set-up works
tike this: A city in each state is awarded the tourney in the annual
affair, and the Jaycee club in that city sponsors the team of four that
Jurticinates in the National tourney.
Moady left Athens with some regret of not making the cham
pionship flight of the State golf tourney in Albany last week, lie
was one stroke off the pace with a 77, "Perhaps it's just as well,”
said Grilfin. “I needed the rest before leaving for Texas™
Griffin relates that he three-putted the last two greens in the qual-
Jymng round in the Albany affair that cbst him a spot among the 32
golfers in the “‘chanyp” flight, This is a trick that Moody very seldom
pulls, since he is rated deadly with a putter, Howell Hollis, who was
defeated in the second round, was the only member ot the Athers
group to qualify for the championship flight, He carded a 76,

«f a pitcher playing for Watkinsville,
Brown, whose team won the first balf in the Independent Lea
gue, said yesterday that he would not play Watkinsville in the
' playeffs should the latter win the second half race (which is al
moet & lead-pipe cinch),
The argument was this: Chappel Tate, according to Brown, signed
to play with Diamogd Hill. But, it seems, Tate is playing with Wat
kinsville. Brown says that he should have gotten a release from Dia
mond Hill before signing with Watkinsville,
A MEETING of the League officials was held last week and It was
decided that Tate was eligible to play for Watkinsville, A. E, Horn,
President of the Independent League, could not be reached for com

Ed Waitkus
Worried Over
His Recovery
BY RALPH BERNSTEIN
PHILADELJHIA, July 30 —
(AP)—A thin, drawn Eddie Wait
kus is asking himself this question
these days:
“How good will I be after my
bullet wound heals?”
The popular first baseman of
the Philadelphia Phillies would
like to play bsll again this vear
if only for a few games. He 1 .nts
to prove to his own satisfaction
that the bullet wound inflicted by
a love crazed girl in a Chicago
hotel room hasn’t Julled his abili
ty as the best fielding first base
man in the National League.
But there appears only a slim
chance that Eddie will play again
in 1949,
He still has a draig in his back
and visits the doctor several times
a week for treatments. While his
appetite has improved vastly,
Waitkus hasn’t regained much
weight. It looks like a slow, te
dious trip back for the 28-year
old star.
The Phillies are counting heavi
1y on Waitkue in their 1950 pennant
plans. Club officials don't expect
Eddie to play this year.
A spokesman said the Phils will
be gratified if Eddie recovers suf
ficiently to make the final west
ern trip with the club merely as
a spectator and morale builder for
the team’s youngsters.
The spolzesman explained it is
in the morale department that the
Phillies sorely miss Waitus.

BEDGOOD “IN”’
1 Week Remains
In City Softhall
There’s still a mathematical chance for Bedgood's o 1
overhauled before next Friday, but unless Robert Mck.
vey turns to sewing as a pastime there’s little or no chay,.
that the City Softball leaders will be caught.
Bedgood hua. a spotless 9-0 rec
ord for the second half and when
the chips were down, it was Mc-
Kelvey who came through to keep
the Lumber Boys’ record unblim
ished. He has hurled a one-hitter
and no-hitter this half, both
against strong clubs that were all
out to stop the Bedgood winning
streak.
Play in the second half of the
City League ends next Friday eve
ning, On Monday, Aug. 8, the
playoff hetween c¢he fi:st half and
second half winners begins, and
the State Tournament gets under
way Aug. 18.
First Half Winner |
Choke’s Dry Cleaners won the
first half race, r ~ it is plenty
evicent that this club and Bedgood
will tangle in the best three ou* of i
five series.
Bell’s Food Market, who made
a game try for the second half
title, is second at the present time
with a record of seven wins and’
three loses. It was the crucial
game between Bedgood and Bell’s
that saw McKelvey hurl his no-hit
game. This was the turning point
in favor of the Lumber Boys.
Friday night Bedgood won its
ninth victory, defeating Ag Hill.
On the same card Bell's defeated
the Rabbitt Smith All-Stars from
Madison (13-6) i an exhibition
