Qualifying Begins Tomorrow
Morning In State Amateur Goll
Hobart Manley Dark Horse
In Play At Country Club
With a near record entry expected, qualifying in the
Georgia State Amateur golf tourney begins tomorrow
morning at the Athens Country Club. Teeing time is 8
o’clock, qualifying will be over 36 holes. ¢
According to the men who
should know the game best, the
dark horse of the tourney will be
Hobart Manley, the hard-knocking
linksmen from Savannah. The 23-
year-old recently won the Golden
Jubilee tourney at Brunswick, and
has always played consistent golf,
although not frequently nailing
down top honors.
Tourney officials report that
Bob McCoy, the cross-handed
player from Atlanta, will be here.
This will add great color to the
tournament, and give the field one
one of the state’s top golfers.
On the unofficial side of the
ledger comes word on Tommy
Barnes. According to reports this
morning, Barnes is expected to be
on hand for the show that begins
mateh competition Wednesday and
runs through Saturday, when a 36-
hole match will determine the
winner.
However, word is definite on
Dynamite Goodlow, the “Five by
Five” swatter from Valdosta. Due
to sickness in the family and
pressing business obligations, Dy
namite will not be able to enter.
R. M. (Pooley) Hubert, Club pro,
said this morning that the Country
Club course is in beautiful condi
tion. To quote the Pro: “If anyone
wanted it any better, they would
just be hoggish.” Recent rains
have put new vigor in both the
fairways and greemns. .. .... ....
Frank Mulharin, the Augusta
entry, fired a 34-34—68 in a prac
tice round yesterday, which may
show a trend toward expected
scoring. With the course in excel
lent condition, sub-par is expected
by a goodly number of {he field.

Georgia golfer, worked in a prac
tice round yesterday, but did not
turn in a score. However, big
George admitted he was hitting
the ball pretty good, and he should
be ready to produce some of his
best shots — which, in this case,
is pretty good.
Billy Key, the lithe swinger
from Columbus, will be on hand to
defend his title, which was won
in Albany last summer at Radium
Springs. Key defeated Goodlow by
a smashing 9 and 8 score for the
’49 title. Billy, a top-notcher from
the time he was out of the cradle,
is definitely one of the favorites.
Making the trip with'him will be
big brother Jack, a former Auburn
player and good in his own right.
Others among the favorites are
Rosser Little of Marietta, Arneld
Blum of Macon, Jennings Gordon
of Rome, and the guy who spun
the 68 in practice yesterday, Frank
Mulharin. Local stars Griffin
Moody and Edsel Benson are ex
pected to point their guns for the
title, and with the advantage of
knowing the course, should have
a solid foothold.
The official starter for the tour
ney will be Vern Murray of Druid
Hills in Atlanta. The scorer as
Trawick Johnson from Atlant’s
East Lake Country Club. Presi
dent of the Georgia State Golf As
sociation is Hugh Carter of the
Peachtree Club in Atlanta.
Qualifying begins in the morn
ing at 8 o’clock. First round play
is set for Wednesday, second round
Thursday, and third and fourth on
Friday. The finals will be over 36

Don Floyd Set For Play
In Crackerland Tennis
. Former state champion
Don Floyd, one of the top
ranking tennis stars in the
South during the past de
cade, has entered the Fourth
Crackerland tournament sla
ted here August 3-6.
He will be seeking to add his
name to the distinguished list of
former champions. The Cracker

6-4, 6-2, and in 1941 Lynch lost
in the finals to Neal Walker of
Clearwater, Fa., 6-4, 8-6, 5-7, 2-6,
6-4. The 1940 champion was Louis
Faquin of Memphis, Tenn., who
trimmed Cortez Suttles of Atlanta,
6-2, 6-4, 6-4. Faquin that summer
also won the Georgia, Tennessee
and Alabama state championships.
Here are some of the outsand
ing players who have been con
quered by Dom Floyd: v
Jack Teagle of Atlanta, former
Southern champion, in the finals
of the 1942 Georgia state tourna
ment.
Wilmer Allison of Texas, former

‘ net.
Athens tennis fans are fortu
‘nate in getting 'the opportunity
to see him perform.

Homers, Base Hits
Feature “Big Top”
BY JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
. About that lively ball, now, here’s the dope right from
the Sunday box scores: the appalling one day total — 37
home runs, 337 base hits, 188 runs; 68 beat up pitchers in
15 games. : 2 e
Rabbit? Better make it Kanga
roo. No bunny can jump that
high, that often.
Out in Pittsburgh a little guy
named Ted Beard who hit .277
for Indianapolis last year, hit one
over the right field stands. No
body had done that since Babe
Ruth in 1935.
Walt Dropo, man-mountain Bos
ton Red Sox rookei, lashed three
home runs and two doubles in a
doubleheader. Duvke Snider of
Brooklyn went 5 for 5 against the
St. Louis Cardinals. One of the
Duke’s hits was a homer.
The New York Giants and Cin
cinnati slashed away at ore an
other for a total of 58 hits in
cluding 12 homers in a long, weary
afternoon.
Latest returns, with alt-districts
reporting, show a couple’ of new
marks for the record“books. The
National League, homer total of
25 was the most ever hit in that
loop in one afternoon. The old
mark of 24 was set Decoration
Day when the two majors hung
up a 40-total. They also ham
mered out 333 hits May 30 but
that’s no longer tops. *
By some peculiar eomb:nation
of events there was one shutout.
But Walt Dubiel of the Cubs kept
in tune with the times by making
it a perilous nine-hitter.
Dubiel’s shutout was a bitter
blow at the Philadelphia Phillies.
Barely escaping St. Louis Satur
day in a first-place tie, the Phil
lies dropped two to the Cubs and
fell into second place. Dubiel did
his stuff in the 8-0 first game and
in the second, the Cubs ended
Rookie Bob Miller’s eight-game
win streak with a 10-3 wallop.
Brooklyn pounded four Cardi
nal pitchers for 19 hits, 10-2, as
rookie Chris Van Cuyk -coasted
home in his major league delLut.
Despite the loss, the Cards held
“CHIEFLY THE MOLD
OF A MAN'S FORTUNE IS IN

Boston missed a chance to close
in on the leaders by losing the
second game to Pittsburgh, 6-5,
after taking the opener, 9-5, for
Vern Bickford’s 10th win. A flur
ry of homers including two by Gus
Bell and one each by Earl Turner
and Beard, brough reliefer Hank
Borowy his first vietory of the
season in the second game.
Hank Thompson’s error or Bob
by Usher’s grounder with the bases
loaded in the 12th gave Cincinnall
an 11-10 win over the Giants and
a clean sweep of the home run
battles. The Reds took the opener,
16-4, with Ted Kluszewski hiiting
two homers and Johnny Pramesa,
Grady Hatton and Lloyd Merri
man one each.
Everybody split in the Amecri
can League, leaving Detroit with
its four-game lead over the New
York Yankees:
Homers by George KeH, Hoot
Evers and Jerry Priddy enabled
the Tigers to take a second game
from Philadelphia, 7-6, after the
A’s whipped Art Houtteman, 5-2,
in the first.
Just when the Yanks were ready
to move in on the Tigers, Bob
Cain, a 1950 New York hoodoo,
stopped them—>s-2, in the second
game. Gene Woodling’s two-run
double won the first, 2-1, for Vic
Raschi over Billy Pierce.
