100-Mile Stock
Car Race June 11
ATLANTA, GA., May 29—Del
mar Jones, president of the Na
tional Stock Car Racing Associa
von, of Atlanta, said today that
the 100-mile national modified
stock-car championship marathon
| here at Lakewood Park on Sunday,
'June 11, should go a long way in
determining the winner of the
NSCRA’s 1950 title,
Jones explained that nearly se
ven of his organization’s top driv
ers are now closely bunched for
the lead and that a victory for any
one of them on June 11 should
’give the winner a comfortable
working margin for the remainder
of the season.
The NSCRA, unlike the Ameri
can Automobile Association, said
Jones, awards points on basis of
prize money won by a driver, a
point for every dollar. The AAA,
on the other hand, awards it points
on the basis of mileage in any one
particular race.
At ‘lndianapolis, for example,
the winning driver will receive
two for each mile, the second~
place finisher one and a half for
each mile, and so on.
Currently, Buddy Shuman, Jack
Smith, Billy Carden, Bob Flock,
Buck Baker, Fonty Flock and Jer=
ry Wimbish all have a good chance
of vaulting into the lead. Ed Sam
ples, of Atlanta, the 1949 cham
pion, is still recovering from inju
ries received at Lakewood on
March 26, and wil be a doubtful
starter on June 11.

Phils Take

By Joe Reichler
Associated Press Sports Writer
Make one mistake against those
hustlin’, fightin’ Phillies and it’s
your finish.
Ask the harried Leo Durocher
or any of his luckless New York
Giants. They’ll tell you they should
have won all four weekend games
from Eddie Sawyer’s whiz kids.
‘But the boys from Phiadelphia
won three to New York’s one.
As a result, the young and eager
Phillies wrested the National Lea
gue lead from the Brooklyn Dod
gers. Deadlocked before yester
day’s games, the Phils divided a
pair with the Giants while Boston
was beating the Brooks, 4-1. The
Phils thus took undisputed pos
session of first place by half a
game.
Giants End Streak
As in the victories Friday and
Saturday, the Phils won yester
day’s 11-inning 5-2 opener be
cause they were quick to take ad
vantage of a lapse by the opposi
tion. Primarily because they play
ed errorless ball, the Giants won
the nightcap, 3-1, to end a seven
game losing streak.
The score was tied 2-2 as the
Phils came to bat in yesterdgy’s
ilth inning, Dick Sisler walked to
become the first Phil base runner
since Andy Hansen replaced Clint
Hartung in the seventh. Dick
Whitman singled to right. When
Don Mueller let the ball get away
from him, Sisler scored the win
ning run and Whitman raced to
third on the two-base error,
Detroit shaved the New York
Yankees’ American League lead to
two games by whipping the St.
Louis Browns twice, 6-2 and 2-1,
while the Philadelphia Athletics
were halving a twin bill with the
world champions. The A’s came up
with four runs in their final inning
to win the second game, 6-5, after
New York won the opener, 6-3.
Washington shoved Boston into
third place with a 7-6 triumph ov
er the Red Sox. Cleveland and
Chicago swapped shutouts, Steve
Gromek blanking the White Sox,
7-0, after Bill Wight had stifled
the Indians, 2-0, in the opener.
Chicago’'s Cubs took both ends
of a doubleheader from Pitts
burgh, 6-0 and 5-1, o sweep their
four-game series. The third place
St. Louis Cardinals whipped the
Cincinnati Reds twice, 6-2 and 7~
2, to climb within a game and a
half of the top.

At 7 O’Clock
Softball makes its 1950
debut in Athens tonight with
a pair of games at Legion
Park which will open play
in the . Municipal Softball
League. Games tonight start
at 7 o’clock.
The Junior Chamber of Com
merce takes on Athens Manufac
turing Company in the 7 o’clock
opener tonight, and the second
game of the double-header will
match Oconee Street Methodist
Church and the Athens Coca-Cola
Bottling Company.
No admission will be charged for
Municipal League games this year
in the interest of an improved
community recreation program.
The League, sponsored by the
Athens Recreation and Parks De
partment, has been completely re
vised this season, and promises a
new high in enthusiasm.
Certain rule changes, especially
in the pitching department, have
been installed to insure emphasis
on hitting and fielding, rather than
pitching. Hurlers dominated the
league last year and in years past
in the old City League, and few
hitters were the order of play.
Pitchers this year will be al
lowed virtually no windup, being
able to bring the ball back in an
arc no higher than the height of
the shoulder. The pitcher’s job
will still be a skill, but probably
won’t dominate the picture.
Another rule change requires
teams to secure their players from
the organization which they repre
sent. The exception is that teams
having trouble getting enough
players from their organization
may get two outside players,
neither of whom may be used as
a pitcher.
Eight .teams .make .up .the
Leagrne. In addition to the Jaycees,
Athens Manufacturing Company,
Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and
the Oconee Street Methodist
Church, all of whom play tonight,
the League lists Post Office, Uni
versity Profs, Prince Avenue Bap
tist Church, and Optimist Club.
Tuesday night’s schedule finds
the University Profs playing the
Optimists at 7 p. m. and the Prince
Avenue Baptist Church meeting
the Post Office in the afterpiece,
immediately following the first
game,
According to Wayne R. Shields,
superintendent of the Recreation
and Parks Depariment, at least one
other league will get underway in
the near future. .The other league
will feature teen-age boys, and
will be started after schools are
dismissed for the summer.

Crackers Drop Pair
To Nashville’s Vols
BY HUGH SCHUTTE
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Little Rock Travelers and the Atlanta Cracke I'S
probably are the most dazed clubs in the Southern Associ..
tion today, but for different reasons.
The Travs knocked off two of
the top contenders, Mobile and
New Orleans, on successive days.
The Crackers, on the other
hand, not only are dazed, but
they are reeling from the one
two punch handed Sunday by
Nashville’s Vols. A nemesis in
seasons past, Nashville appears
to be ready again to be Atlan
ta’s downfall as the Veols have
yet to lose to the Crackers this
season — a statement no other
club in the loop can make,
Manager Dixie Walker announ
ced he would send rookie Larry
LaSalle to the mround tonight to
try to upset the Vols’ hold over
the league leaders, Don Oshorne
wouldn’t say definitely who he
would counter with, but he’s ex
pected to use Paul Menking,
Nashvilie’s 11-3 and 3-2 vic
tories over Atlanta started the
upsets and Memphis’ Chicks
took over by dumping Mobile
from second to fourth place
with a 2-1 win. Birmingham’s
Barons had to go an extra in
ning to edge Chattanooga, 4-3.
Then, in a pair of night games,
Little Rock, after winning from
Mobile Saturday, 4rimmed the
Pels of New Orleans, 4-2, in the
opener. But the Pebs’ winning
spree ended right there as the
Pelicans came roaring back, 9-2.
The largest crowd of the sea
son, 15,135, turned out in At
lanta to see Al Henencheck and
Don Liddle suffer their first
defeats of the season.
The Vols teed off on Henen
check right away in the first
game and had three runs across
in the first frame and another in
the second before Al Fowler |
could put out the fire. Fowler
lasted until the seventh before be
ing blasted by a six-run outburst
in which 12 Vols took their cut.
Cracker castoff Tom Neil drove
home five runs with a pair of |
doubles and Lefty Bert Flammini,
who scattered eight - Atlanta
blows, sent three men across with
a single and double.
The Vols again took a first
inning lead in the nightcap when
Joe Damato and John Liptak
singled in succession and Fred
- Richards sacrificed Damato
home with a long fly. They got |
two more in the third on Da
mato’s single, stolen base, an
error, and three successive sin
gles. From then on Liddle faced
only 13 batters in the next four |
innings,
The Crackers tried to stage an
other of their last inning rallies,
but it fell one short as Bob Thorpe
