ing Elberten, 8-0, on a su
perb two-hit hurling job by
Avery Harvill.
Harvill's shutout was well-earn
ed, and his teammates backed him
to the limit. After averaging al
most three errors per game in
five contests, the Trojans settled
down and played flawless base
ball afield, in addition to blasting
eight base hits off righthander
Don Maxwell, the Blue Devils’
most effective hurler. Three hits
were for extra bases.
Both Elberton’s hits were dou
bles, one of them by Frank Grif
fith in the first inning and the
ofher by Teny Fernandez in the
fifth. .Harvill fanned five Devils
and walked four, while Maxwelil
whiffed five Trejans and passed
five to first base.
Shortstop Sonny Saye clubbed
a triple and two singles in four
trips to the plate, and Bobby Wal
lace singed twice and lived
twice on infield errors. Wallace
incidentally, scored three times,
Saye and Jerry Price twice each.
Athens got three runs in the
third inning as Price walked and
stole second, Wallace singled him
home and went to second on an er
ror, Sonny Save tripled to score
Wallace, and Walker doubled to
tally Saye, but was threwn out
trying te stretch his hit infe a
three-bagger.
Three runs came home in the
fifth. Wallace and Richard Rid
dling both lived on errors, Sonny
Saye singled, and Walker sacri
ficed Wallace home. Then Har
ville lined a long triple to right
center to score Riddling and Saye.
Walks by Price and Riddling and
singles by Wallace and Saye added
the last two runs in the sixth. .

Ace Adams goes to the hill tomorrow afternoon in At
lanta as the Georgia Bulldogs go in quest of the Eastern
Division title of the Southeastern Conference against Geor
gia Tech’s Yellow Jackets on Rose Bowl field.
Trailing the Kentucky Wildcats ‘
by a few percentage points, the
Bulldogs must make a good show=
ing against the Jackets in their
remaining four games to out
battle the 'Cats to the finish tape.
Shertstop Jim Umbricht
turned pitcher yesterday after
noon over on Ag Hill as he
downed the Furman University
Hurricane, 5-3. The bean-pole
Decatur youth went the dis--
tance and gave up 10 hits in
winning his initial mound effert
of the season. Jim was some
what wild, but managed to
come through in the clutches.
Georgia first baseman Art
Mitchell collected two hits and
drove in one run to pace the Bull
dogs at bat. Jim (Kid) Bagwell
hit his seventh home run of the
season, an inside-the-park affair.
Captain Billy Henderson went
hitless for the first time in ten
games. Bagwell's four-master was
one or three extra-base blows of
the game. Georgia collected eight
hits and committed but one error.
After the big opener with
Tech in Atlanta tomorrow, the
Bulldogs return home Saturday
for a clash with the Jackets on
Ag Hill. This game will begin
at 3 o'clock. Charley Kell, the

Stan Musial
Hitting Ball ¢
At 483 Clip
By JACK HAND 1
Associated Press Sports Writer
Best bet of 1950 is Stan Musial
to become the National League's
first 400 hitter in 20 years.
Not since Bill Ten& laced the
ball for a 401 mark in 1930, has
a National Leaguer ventured into
the stratosphere. Now Musial the
St. Louis Cardinal slugger, is only
one hit shy of .500 at .483.
First base seems to agree with
Musial. Ever since Manager Bddie
Dyer gave up on Steve Bilko and
moved Stan from right fleld to
first, he has drilled holes in the
fences.
The big splurge really started
when Musial returned to the line
up after a six-day layoff due to
a sprained knee. Since his return
Stan has 18 hits in 30 at bats or
.533. And he hasn’t reached Eb
bets Field, his happy hunting
ground. That comes next week.
' Only two pitchers horse eollared
Musial so far. Cliff Chambers
turned him back hitless the second
night of the season,
Joe Hatten got him out May 1
as a pinch hitter,
Musial had his biggest night of
the seaeson yesterday with four
singles and a walk in the Cards’
5-1 victory over the New York
Giants behind Max Lanier’s seven
hitter.
Brooklyn was knocked out of
first place by the Cincinnati Reds,
4.9, on Ken Raffensberger’s three
hit job. It was Raffy's first win,
snapping the Reds seven~gama los
ing streak. G &
As a result of the Dodgers’ loss,
the idle Phillies moved to the top
of the heap for the first time since
opening day. The Phils’ day game
at Pittsburgh was rained out.
