Hill Prince
Takes Ist In
Withers Mile
BY JOHN CHANDLER
NEW YORK, N. Y., May 13.—
(AP)—Hill Prince, the flying gen
tleman from Virginia, hung it on
the Kentuckx Derby winner—
Middleground—today in the $29,-
750 Withers Mile at Belmont
Park, and proved he'll be a tough
number in the Preakness next
week,
A crowd of 40,088 customers,
who made Hill Prince and Eddie
Arcaro the favorite, gave Chris
Chenery's powerful bay colt a
mighty cheer as he took command
near the top of the stretch and
romped home with something to
spare.
Hill Prince, second choice in the
Derby at Louisville last week,
blazed under the finish line in a
sparkling 1:35 4-5, which tied the
record for the stake first run in
1874. The immortal Man O'War
set the record in 1920, and it was
equalled in 1922 by Snob 2nd, and
again by Johnstown, in 1939.
The impressive note in Hill
Prince’s victory is that the Vir
ginia-born son of Princequillo-
Hildene packed 126 pounds, com
pared with only 118 carried by
Man O’'War and the others,
Middleground Second
Hill Prince bounced under the
wire, his stubby tail flying, a
length and one-half ahead of
Middleground, while the King
Ranch colt from Texas was four
lengths on top of the third horse,
Mrs. Andy Schuttinger’s Ferd.
That's the way the crowd had bet
*em, with Middleground at 8-2 on
the board, and Ferd 8-1. Hill
Prince paid $4.20, $2.30 and $2.10;
Middleground $2.30 and $2.10, and
Ferd $2.10.
Seven colts, six of thenr eligible
for the rich Preakness at Pimlico

808 OLIVER, Sports Editor
Billy White, Winder High School’s triple-threat base
ball star, is a mighty handy man to have around during a
baseball game, if he’s playing on your side. The 16-year
old moundsman had himself another busy afternoon Fri
day, pitching his Bulldog teammates to a 7-0, no-hit win
over Athens High.
Here's what the sensational
fast-ball hurler did in notching his
second win over the Trojans:
Pitched six innings of no-hit
ball, coming within three outs of
a regulation high school no-hitter;
struck out two men each inning
for a strikeout total of 12 for the
game; blasted a double, triple, and
home run in four times at bat,
flying to deep left-centerfield his
other time up; batted in two runs;
and scored two runs himself to
spearhead a 12-hit attack by the
Bulldogs. |
A downpour of rain halted the
game as the Trojans came in to
bat in the bottom half of the sev
enth inning. Up to that point,
White had walked only five men
and only one of the five got as far
as third base, on White’s balk.
Jimmy Forrester lofted a home
run and a single in three official
trips to help White along. Charles
Pentecost and Billy Stockton each
had two singles in four at-bats for
Winder.
The Bulldogs marked up 12 hits,
five of them for extra bases, from
the offerings of Athens pitcher
Bryant (Zeb) Hines, who went
the distance. Hines had good con
trol, but was hit too hard and too
often to curb the Winder slug
gers. He walked only three and
fanned four.
Billy Ted McDaniel started it
off for Winder in the first inning,
hitting a long double over Avery
Harvill’s head in centerfield. Har
vill almost made a brilliant catch,
but couldn’t hold the ball. White
then doubled to left-center to
score McDaniel.
White tripled with two out in
the third inning, and came home
on Donald Worley’s single. Wor
ley moved along on a passed ball
‘and scored on Hines’ only wild
| pitch of the day.
~ Forrester sent a drive to cen
terfield for his home run in the
fourth. Harvill again came within
inches of a beautiful catch, but
couldn’t quite get in fast enough,
the ball bounding past for four
bases.
The Bulldogs got three runs in
the seventh. White led off with his
home run drive into left-center,
‘giving him plenty of time to round
the bases. Hines walked Conner
‘and Forrester after two were out,
‘both tallied on Charlie Parrott’s
‘wfld throw to first on Stockton’s
difficult grounder, and Stockton
}wu thrown out trying to score on
Donald Duke’s single. Bill Saye
‘made a perfect throw to Jerry
\:Zulker at the plate to nip Stock
ton,
‘ Jerry Price had a three-ball
count when rain stopped proceed
ings in the bottom of the seventh.
The Trojans are scheduled to
play Covington at Princeton Tues
day. A previous tilt with the
Rams was postponed for Athens to
play Elberton.

give the Detroit Tigers a 1
to 0 victory today over the
St. Louis Browns.
‘ Wertz’ blow scored John

fans.
Garver didn’t give up a hit un
til George Kell got one in the
sixth, Hoot Evers wasted another

in the top of the ninth and then
had been pulled out of trouble in
the tenth when Wertz jumped
high against the rightfield screen
to make a one-handed catch of a
smash by Ken Wood.

THE BANNER -HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Tech’s Thompson Pitches
6-Hitter; 3 Games Remain
BY 808 OLIVER
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
Georgia Tech’s sawed-off southpaw, Buddy Thompson,
stymied Georgia’s SEC comeback attempt over on Ag Hill
yesterday afternoon, throttling the Bulldogs on six hits for
a b-4 victory. : s e :
| Going the entire nine innings,
| Thompson relinquished four sin
tgles and two doubles, with Geor
gia first sacker Mitchell obtaining
the pair extra-base blows. There
were five frames when the locals
went hitless against the stumpy
Jacket hurler.
' After spotting the invaders two
runs in the top of the third, the
}Bulldozs came back with plenty
of fight in the bottom of the third
to push over three big runs. Three
‘of the six Georgia base knocks
were made in this single frame.
After Georgia starter Charley
Kell rolled out, third to first, the
big inning began for the Bulldogs.
Austin Eason walked, Billy Hen
derson beat out an infield roller
and Hokey Jackson flied to left.
Kid Bagwell then sent a hot
grounder over second into center,
scoring Eason, With Henderson
on third and Bagwell on second
(after a stolen base), Art Mitchell
dropped one on the line in left
field for a double, scoring the two
base runners.
The downfall for Georgia and
pitcher Charley Kell came in
Tech’s half of the sixth. A single,
a walk and another single loaded
the bases for the Jackets when the
fatal proceedings took place. Pitch
er Thompson hit one of Kell’s fast
pitches dead on the nose, driving
the rock into lefifield for a single,
scoring two runs on the base hit.‘
A third Jacket scored and Thomp
son went to third when the relay
from the outfield rolled through
the infield, and into the Tech dug
out, cleaning the bases for three
runs and putting Tech ahead to
stay. I
There was only one out at the
time, and Coach Jim Whatley pull
ed Kell and sent Ace Adams to
the mound. Adams struckout the
first two that faced him to retire
the sides, and that was all the
scoring for the day.
Adams did a good job in relief.
After fanning the first two he
faced in the sixth, he did likewise
in the seventh, and sent another
down swinging in the eighth for
five strikeouts in the three and
two-thirds innings he worked. He
was touched for three singles, but
had little trouble in holding the
Yellow Jackets at bay. A nifty
double play in the eighth helped
his cause.
Trailing by the lone run going
into the bottom of the ninth, Coach
Whatley threw in two pinch-hit
ters in a desperate attempt to put
the Georgians back in the game.
Both men, Minton Williams and
Bix Shoemaker, drew bases on
balls, but with two away Kid Bag
well made the final out with a
short fly to rightfield.
Tech and Georgia will make up
their rained-out game in Atlanta
Friday with a double header on
Rose Bowl Field next Saturday
afternoon. . A single affair between
the two clubs will be played on
Ag Hill the day before. These
three games will conclude the sea
son for both clubs. ‘

WASHINGTON, May 13.—(AP) —ls you read the next

y The club obtained Joe DiMag

~ After a pause to let the shock
settle in, the Senators’ farm di
rector Ossie Bluege added:
“We didn’t get the Yankee clip

That, of course, also makes him
‘a second cousin to Dom DiMaggio,

' Joe have,” he told Bluege. “He
looks and acts like a ballplayer.

shows every indication of being
a hitter.”

The University of Georgia’s po

the Tiger junior team. Roberts
also led the Bullpups at the plate
with a single and a double.
The Bullpups, with their five
game victory streak at stake,
were to meet Silvertown Mills at
Thomaston, Ga., lest night. The
outcome of the game was not
available at press time.
IN AT THE START
PHILADELPHIA — (AP) — A
much photographed threesome at
a recent baseball gathering here
were Connie Mack, observing his
50th anniversary as the one and
only manager of his Philadelphia
A’s; President Clark Griffith of
the Washington Senators and Tom
Connolly, umpire-in-chief of the
American League.
In 1901, the American League's
first season, Mack managed the
Athletics, Griffith managed and
pitched for the Chicago White Sox,
winner of the flag that year, and
Connolly was the lone umpire in
the league’s first game, played
April 24 between Chicago and
Cleveland in Chicago’s old Comis=
key Park and won by Cleveiand,
8-2.
