HurthToßule Today
On Protested Games
BY STERLING SLAPPEY
Associated Press Sports Writer :
(urses and compliments are due today with Charlie
Hurth the bullseye for both of them.
Regardless of what unhappy Hurth decides in the pri
vacy of his New Orleans office, which suddenly has be
come a hot spot,’he’s sure to make some people mad and
others merry. e
Since only two games were
played in the Southern Associa
tion last night — a 4-3 victory for
Nashville over Memphis and a
10-9 Little Rock victory ¢ ver Chat
tanooga —the Hurth decisions are
the headliners.
Charlie, as president of the
jeague, must rule on two protests
which Involve two recent games.
gach game was played by the
jeague-leading Atlanta Crackers
and therefore directly affects the
All-Star game. :
Manager Dixie Walker is pro
testing Mobile’s 8-7 whipping of
Atlanta June 29 and Manager
Mike Higgins of Birmingham is
protesting Atlanta’s 5-1 victory
over his Barons Tuesday.
wWalker claims wumpire Frank
Girard illegally waved in a new
Cracker pitcher against Mobile.
Girard later kicked Dixie out of the
park. Then after telephone calls
and a wire to Hurth, Walker’s pro
test was recognized.
If Hurth decides in favor of At
lanta, a Cracker defeat comes off
the records and the game probably
well be replayed. That would put
Atlanta three and half games
ahead of Birmingham and give the
Crackers better odds of being the
team to meet the All-Stars July 18.
Higgins protests the insertion of
a different Atlanta pitcher than
the one Walker listed in his pre
game lineup Tuesday. Walker list
ed Carl Lindquist but Al Hennen
check opened the game instead.
That game also can be ordered
replayed. If Hurth rules that way
he increases second place Birm
ingham’s chances of overtaking
Atlanta before the Sunday night
deadline to decide who meets the
All-Stars. - g

All-Star decision and Hurth’s de
cisions can radically change the
Crackers’ three game lead.
The Little Rock Travs have
been looking in every Bush league
for help. Last night they got a lot
of help from a close neighbor. R.
C. Otey, jr., from up the road in
North Little Rock, came to bat in
the ninth as a pinch hitter. He got
a triple to start a four-run Trav
rally which tied the game at 9-all.
In the 10th inning hometowner
knocked in the winning run.
Manager Jack Saltzgaver used
two other pinch hitters and his
strategy was perfect. Red McQuil
len singled Ofey home and Hal
Daugherty got a walk.
..Memphis’ Russwood field was
soggy from late afternoon rains
and only 1,624 fans figured the
bill was worth paying to see. From
the Memphis viewpoint they were
right. Nashville’s Jim Atchley gave
the floundering Chicks only six
hits. Atchiey’s only serious relapse
was a home run ball he tossed to
Rock Krsnich in the third inning.
Swish Sawatski. tripled. in the
ninth inning bringing in Nashville’s
winnng run. Marv Rotblatt was
the losing pitcher, a role the little
lefthander seldom plays.
Bulldogs Take
First Place In
Local Y’ Play
It-took a last inning rally of six
runs. for the Bulldogs to cdge the
Hawks, 19-18 in Indian League

Cardinals Nose
Cincinnati, 5-3
BY JACK HAND ;
Associated Press Sports Writer
Rocky Nelson looks like the answer to Eddie Dyer's
“who’s on first?” riddle. Since Nelson rejoined St. Louis,
the Cards have won six straight on their march into the
National League lead.
First base has been Manager
Dyer’s headache ever since he took
the job. Each spring he goes
through the same motions, hoping
to keep Stan Musial in the out
field, Usually Stan winds up on
first.
It was the same story last
March. Steve Bilko, the hulking
rookie from Rochester, was the
new boy. Bulging Bilko didn’t
hit. Nelson didn’t impress be
cause he couldn’t hit the left
handers, and Nippy Jones was
recuperating from ar operation.
Bilko opened, but not for long.
On May 5, Stan the Man was back
on first and Steve was back in
Rochester, But with Musial on the
bag, the outfield lacked some
thing.
They shipped Nelson to Colum
bus and he started to burn up the
American Association. The good
folks in Ohio knew it was only a
matter of .time before the Cards
would call him back. When they
did, nobody was surprised, for he
was hitting .419, leading the lea
gue.
Nelson continues where he
left off in the minors. With nine
hits, including three doubles and
a homer, in 23 trips, he’s hitting
.391. His defensive play has been
excellent. And Musial is back
in the old hitting stride with
only the outfield te worry about.
Against lefthanded Ken Raffens
berger last night, Nelson hit a
two-run homer that featured a
four-run second irning. The early
lead held up for a 5-3 edge over
Cincinnati, although rookie Joe
Adcock threw a scare into 13,667
fans with a three-run homer in
the ninth.
Despite the victory the Cards
lost ground to the Philadelphia
Phiilies who added two victor
ies. The Phils’ Robin Roberts
set down New York one-two
three in the ninth and only re
maining inning of a May 14 sus
pended game to preserve a 9-7
edge. The win went into the
standings along with a 10-3 reg
ular night game verdict behind

one game of the Cards. Meyer,
incidentally, has come fast after
losing his first six. Now he's one
of the Phils “big four’—Roberts,
Meyer, Curt Simmons and Bob
Miller.
Mel Queen of Pittsburgh held
Chicago to four hits for a 4-1
victory that snapped a Pirate
six-game losing streak. Ralph
Kiner's 22nd homer with a
man on in the second, and his
fine throw that nipped Emil
Verban at the plate in the eighth
helped Queen record his second
win.
The Boston at Brooklyn sched
uled night game was washed out.
Detroit clung to its four-game
edge in the American as Art
Houtteman trimnred St. Louis, 6-1,
for his 11th win. Johnny Lipon,
with four hits, and Vic Wertz,
with three, led the attack on Ned
Garver.

COCA-COLA DROPS OUT
Prince Avenue Baptist
Upsets Optimist, 19-15
Prince Avenue Baptist Church put the
at Legion Park, 19-15, and it enabled them
deadlock with the Optimists and University
Emmitt Weir bested George
(Dick) Saye in a pitching duel, al
though the game was played most
ly at the plate, where both teams
hung out 17 base blows. Seven er
rors by the Optimist (Prince Ave
nue had four) did little to help
their losing cause.
The biggest blow of the night
was a grand-slam home run over
the .right-centerfield. .retaining
screen by Prince Avenue's third
baseman, James Winfrey, in the
fourth inning. Temmy Thomason
slugged a fourmaster. over the
richtfield band for the Optimist
with one on in the first inning, . .
The church-goers got off to an
early 4-0 lead in the top half of
the first on a walk by leadoff man
Horace Giles, a triple by Eddie
Arnold, James Winfrey’s single, a
base on balls to Jack Harrison and
a single by R. E. Graham. The lead
see-sawed back and fourth, with
the count being knotted in the
fifth at 11-11. At this point Prince
Avenue went ahead to stay.
. .Three clubs now share the lead
in the Red League with records’ of
two wins and one defeat. They are
the Optimist, Prince Avenue and
the University Professors. Oconee
Street Methodist is in the cellar
with a 0-3 reading
Coca-Cola. dropped. out of the

scheduled game between them and

expected to enter the league some
time today, replacing Coca-Cola. . .
Coca-Cola was scheduled to play
Post Office again tonight in a
make-up game. Unless a team can
be organized by this evening, there
will be only one game. Oconee

are scheduled in the Red League.
This game was originally set for
the second tilt, but will be moved
up to the first game.
Mosley Hurls
1-0 Shutout;
Nips Baptist
! The Teen-Age Twi-light Soft
ball league got off to a great start
over on Dudley Field last night,
when spectators witnessed a tight
hurling duel between Lyndon
House’s Onnie Mosley and East
Athens Baptist Church’s L. H.
Lewis. Lyndon House won the
game, 1-0. .
Mosley gave up only two hits,
and Lewis was touched for three.
Two straight errors in the open
ing frame produced the only scor
ing. With one out in the initial in
ning, Mosley doubled to right, and
advanced to third when the right
fielder for the Baptists juggled the
ball. Jimmy Williams, Lyndon
House first sacker, then lived on
an infield error; allowing Mosley
to score from third with the game’s
only tally.
Tonight’s schedule in the Teen-
Age loop will be played at the
Lyndon House field, with Sport

Junior Civitan Club in action. The
game gets underway at 6:30.
