NUIICIE VVARE - Ph e e el
Nothing appeared to be wrong
with either of the pitching aces
vesterday as each turned in a fine
performance in a winning effort.
Newhouser, the veteran Detroit
couthpaw, stopped the surprising
iy potent Washington Senators
with eight hits in pitching the Ti
gers to a 5-1 triumph. Newcombe
gave a similar eight-hit exhibition
against the Cincinnati Reds as the
Brooklyn Dodgers won by the
jdentical 5-1 score.
Both hurlers were plagued by
giling arms all spring. Each trac
ed his misfortune to an aching
shoulder muscle. Newhouser lasted
only three innings against the St.
Louis Browns in his only other
appearance of the season.
Newcombe was knocked out of
4he box in his first three starts
pefore Manager Burt Shotton de
cided to give his negro righthand
er a 10-day rest. Don came back
1o pitch a strong game against the
st. Louis Cardirals last week, but
tne jury was still out. The critics
wanted to see how he fared in his
pext outing.
They saw plenty last night. The
¢-3 1-2 Newcombe struck out sev
en batters, four of the strikeouts
coming after the Reds had scored
their lone run in the eighth. The
tally was unearned, Peanuts Low
yey scoring from second base as
Fddie Mikis threw wild in an at
tempt to complete a double play.
The Dodgers bunched five or
their eight hits off Howie Fox and
Harry Perkowski in the first and
sourth. Singles by Jackie Robin
son, Carl Furillo and Gil Hodges
and an error by Fox gave Brook-
Iyn four runs in the fourth.
The victory increased the Dodg
ers’ first place lead over Philadel
phia in the National League pen
nant race to a full game. The Phils
were one of the six clubs in the
loop to enjoy an off day.
Newhouser had a six-hit shut
out going into the ninth. He made
Merril Combs his second strike

BABE RUTH SPORTSMANSHIP AWARDS
Two seniors at Athens High School, a boy and a girl,
will receive medallions similar to the one above as the
result of balloting today to determine the winners of the
Babe Ruth Foundation Sportsmanship Awards., Their
names will be engraved on a plaque already on display
in the school library. The awards are being made in
1,000 schools in 29 states for the first time this year.
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
Banner-Herald Sports Writer
A senior boy and girl at Athens High School will be the
winners of the Babe Ruth Foundation Sportsmanship
Award, which is to be given at the local high school for the
first time this year. Results of balloting today will deter
mine the two recipients of the award.
One thousand high schools in 29
states, including 47 schools in
Georgia, are cooperating in the
new sportsmanship program
named in honor of the great base
ball athlete and designed to de
emphasize the glamour of mere
athletic ability to provide incen
tive for the development of good
sportsmanship and fair play.
Students of the tenth through
the twelfth grades were to vote
today for the two members of the
senior class (a boy and a girl)
who, in their opinion, have made
the greatest contribution to the
spirit of sportsmanship and fair
play during the yeaer.
Eight Nominated
Primary balloting last week re
sulted in the naming of eight
candidates, four boys and four
girls, for the two medallions which
will be awarded to the winners, A
placque has been presented to
Athens High for permanent dis
play at the school. Space is pro
vided for the engraving of the
names of the two students chosen
each year by the school.
The award, being made this year
for the first time under a grant of
funds from the Foundation, offers
an opportunity for any boy or girl
to gain recognition for good sports
manship and fair play. The Babe
Ruth Foundation stresses activi=
ties aimed to promote recreation
and leisure-time interests of chil
dren; to assist work aimed to con
trol, treat, and prevent problems
in the area of juvenile behavior
and emotionally disturbed chil
dren; and raises funds for certain
child-health purposes.
Serve Without Pay
The Foundation is devoid of any
commercial inferest whatsoever.
Members of National and State
committees serve without salary
as a professional service to schools.
Carl A. Troester, jr., is director
of the program. Members of the
Board of Directors of the Founda
tion include J. Paul Carey 11, Al
bert B. Chandler, Ford Frick, Wil
liam Harridge, Eric A. Johnston,
Melvin Gordon Lowenstein, Emo
ry C. Perry, and Grantland Rice.
Winners of the awards at Ath
ens High School will probably be
determined this afternoon and will
be announced on the Banner-Her
ald sports page tomorrow,
