Nips Winder
In 5-4 Tilt
Jimmy Thompson went all the
way on the mound for the Post 20
Junior Legion baseball nine here
yesterday afternoon, and set down
the Winder Legion club on five
hits. Post 20 was the victor, 5-4.
The win over Winder gave the
Athens team its fourth victory of
the season against two setbacks.
Sonny Saye, Bobby Booth and
pitcher Thompson collected two
bingles apiece, to collect all but
three of the Post 20 total.
Early Winder Lead
Winder jumped off to a 3-0
lead in the first canto, and it
wasn’t until the sixth frame that
the Athenians broke into the scor
ing column, Two tallies in the
sixth, and three more in the eighth
put Post 20 outfront, 5-3. The
visitors added a single t Ily in the
top of the ninth, but fell short of
the locals by a single run.
Billy White went the distance
for Winder. It’s the second time
this season that Athens has bested
White.

BY STERLING SLAPPEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
In the land of the Lookouts ‘“Clark” and ““Griffith”
aren’t cuss words any longer. : : 7
Norman Brown pitched a six-hitter for Chattanooga last
night and shutout the Little Rock Travs 5-0. That spiel of
good pitching also shutout all the cussing Lookout fans
heaped upon the ancient hair and head of patriarch Clark
Griffith.
Clark Griffith is father and
mother to the Washington Sena
tors who in turn are stepdaddies
of the Chattanooga Lookouts.
Griffith and Joe Stalin were the
men most unlikely to be elected
“most popular”’ in Chattanooga
last month when Griffith snatched
Bob Ross, the Lookouts’ most
promising pitcher, for use by his
Washington Senators.
The calling of Ross hurt Chat
tanooga’s already extremely
doubtful opportunities in the
Southern Association.
Then earlier this week Griffith
raided again—this time snatching
Al Sima,
Chattanooga howled that it
wasn’t fair to raid the Lookouts
of their best talent while the sea
son was going on even if Wash
ington and Griffith did own the
team and the players he was
“stealing.” i
Now all is quiet and Chattanoo
‘ga chortles again., The Lookouts
are winning without Ross and Si
ma and despite Washington and
Poppa Clark.
The shutup came with the shut
out. But it had started building up
the night before when Royce
Chandler cooled Little Rock 3-1.
Brown, a quasi-castoff from At
lanta who won 22 games in 1948.
Never let the travelers go any
where. For backing he got more
runs than Chattanooga has man
aged since June 18 andJLittle Rock
never quite got in the game.
The secend running Birming
ham Barons managed to make a
little time on first place Atlantia.
Birmingham partially shoek its
habit of winning when Atlanta
won and losing when Atlanta lost
by dividing a doubleheader with
New Orleans.
The Barons lost the opener 3-2
and won the late game 6-2 while
Atlanta was taking a beating from
Mobile 10-6. For their split Bir
mingham cut away a half game
separating the Barons from first
place. Five big games remain,
however.
Memphis and Nashville got to
gether in Sulphur Dell and it
didn’t look like they could get
apart. After 12 innings Memphis
won 6-5.
Bobby Ganns won the first game
for New Orleans with a two-bag
ger which Karl Olson chased
practically to Ponchartrain but
couldn’t catch. The double scored
Stan Wentzel in the eighth inning
of the scheduled seven-round
match.
Dick Littlefield joined the select
battery of nine-game winners
when he pitched Birmingham'’s
victory. Littlefield gave only four
hits in the six inning game which
ended abruptly because of curfew.
When Mobile scored three times
in the second inning against At

at National AAU junior championships in College Park, Md. Mike
Vialpando, representing the Quantico, Va., Marines, is next in line
for a dip.The two finished fifth and sixth, respectively, behind Don
Shanks of Elizabeth, N.J., whose time was 9:43.4.
Prince Avenue Rips
Oconee Team, 16-11
Oconee Street Methodist lost its fifth straight game in
the Municipal Softball League last night, as Prince Avenue
Baptist handed them a 16-11 licking in the first game of a
doubleheader. S
Athens Manufaciuring Company
defeated the Post Oifice, 15-11, in
the first game.
| Oconee’s setback dropped the
' Methodist into the cellar in Red
‘l_;eague play. Athens Manufactur=
ing’s victory placea them at the
helm of Blue League activity.
After winning four straight
games at the outset of the season
and showing exceptional power,
QOconee has now dropped five
straight tilts, two of being now in
the new, two-league set-up. The
University Professors pace the
Red League with a record of two
wins and no defeats.
Tonight’s schedule puts the Op
timist Club against the Oconee
crew in a Red League first game,
and Coca-Cola and Athens Man- |
ufacturing playing the @Blie
League nightcap. This first game
will be aired over WGAU-FM, be
ginning at 6:45.
The University Profs’ victory
over the Optimist Club Tuesday
night was protested by the Opti
mist. The latter team claimed the
Profs had three outside players,
instead of the regulation two. And
the Profs claimed illegal pitching
on the part of the Optimist’s
George (Dick) Saye| Both protests
were accepted, and there will be
a re-play tomorrow night at Le
gion Park, This game will follow |
another postponed affair between
Coca-Cola and the Post Office,
who play in the first game.
So that make-up schedule for
tomorrow night: First game —
Coca-Cola vs. Post Office (Blue
League); Second game -— Opti
mist Club vs. University Profs
(Red League).

Associated Press Sports Writer s
Rabbit ball or no, the 20-win club for pitchers is heade-'fj
for a big year. &
Johnny Sain of the Boston Braves, Bob Lemon of Cleve’
land and Art Houtteman of Detroit hit the 10-mark yeste:/
day. And the season won’t be half over until July 9, the Al'
, Star game break.
Eight more are one step back.
Another dozen still have a chance
[to crash the exclusive lodge.
~ Now 10 wins in June are no
guarantee of 20 come October.
But it’s a good bet. Even old cus
tomers like Bobby Feller (7-6),
Hal Newhouser (6-4) and Howie
Pollit (7-5) still are in the run
ning.
Only seven made it last year,
five in the American and two in
the National. Back in 1931 the
National didn’t have a single 20-
game winner. You have to burrow
back to 1928 to get into double
features—ll for both leagues. The
high is 17, set in i 903 and matched
in 1905 and 1920
Sain ,staging the “comeback of
the year” for the Braves, made
No. 10 a big one. He knocked
‘the Philadelphia Phillies out of
first place in the National League
with his 3-1 decision, spacing
eight hits.
Brooklyn, a 5-3 afternoon win
‘ner over New York, slid back into
the lead when the Phillies bowed
‘at night. The Braves used two
hits, two walks and an error to
score all three runs off Russ
Meyer in the third inning.
Preacher Roe, a 20-game candi
' date, copped his ninth for Brook=-
Iyn on Gene Hermanski’s first
‘homer of the season. Hermanski's
clout with a man on in the seventh
inning broke a 3-3 tie bhetween
'Roe and Sheldon Jones.
~ Carl Furillo, hit on the head by
'a Jones pitch in the eighth inning,
' hammered a two-run homer and
'single in earlier appearances. Fur
illo had been hitting .500 since the
' Brooks returned home.
~ Chicago massacred the St. Louis
Cardinals, 15-3, the Cubs’ biggest
total of the season. Despite the
loss, the Cards are only a half
‘game behind the Brooks and 2
percentage points back of the see
ond place Phils.
Stan Rojek’s eighth-inning dou
ble enabled Pittsburgh to edge
Cincinnati, 6-5, before a sparse—
for Pittsburgh—crowd of 12,040
fans. Murry Dickson, a non-win
ner since May 2, picked up his
third victory In relief of Bill
Werle.
Talented Young Houtteman, De
troit’s fine 22-year-old righthand
er, actually was the first major
leaguer to win his tenth. He did
it in the afternoon, whipping Chi
cago, 6-2. Both Sain and Lemon
joined him at night.
Detroit needed the win, too, to
protect a 415 game edge over the
New York Yankees. Hoot Evers’
420-foot inside-the-park homer
with a man on broke a 1-1 tie
between Houtteman and Ken Hol
combe. Don Kolloway added two
more in the sixth with his third

“500” Stars
Ready For
Lakewood Go
ATLANTA, June 29—Five Indi
anapolis “500” stars were assurec
for the AAA auto races here a:
Lakewood Park on July 4, promo
ter Sam Nunis announced today
They were, in addition to Johnnic
Parsons, “500” winner, and Tom:
my Hinnershitz, Bill Schindler
Walt Brown and Lee Wallard.
Schindler, the eone-legged ac:
from Freeport, N. Y., en May 30
turned in one of the most brillian .
performances ever witnessed a
Indianapolis. 5
It was his first start anc:
Schindler was out to prove tha'
the loss of a leg is no handicap
On qualifying day, he covered the
necessary four laps with a speec
of 132.690 miles an hour, the sixth
fastest time ever recorded at In
dianapolis. :
In the actual race he ran tenth
until the 257th lap when a broken’
universal joint forced him inte
the pits, and out of the ecompeti
tion.
Brown, as sports fans may re
call, was 17th when heavy rain
halted the classic at the end of
345 miles. Last year, he finished
fourth in the national AAA cham
pionship standings, although he
never copped a race 100 miles or{'
over.
With the above drivers already!
in the fold, promoter Nunis said
he was also trying to bring down
to Lakewood either Jack Mc-|
Grath or Troy Rutman. The latter
is known as the most lead-footed
driver since the late Ray Mays.
Although he’s only 21-years-old,
he has already made two starts at
Indianapolis and notds ten world’s
speed records.
McGrath last Sunday won a
100-mile national AAA champion
ship race at Langhorne, Pa., and
in the “500” was second until his
car spun off the track in the
heavy rain.
