SPOTLIGHT on SPORTS
s SPINNING FOR FISH
A pewer method of casting
for fish is the “thread-line,” or
“spinning” method, which
comes to us from England —
where, we are
> . told, it has been
1. popular for a
N ,‘ very long time.
i/ e :This method
“‘(&5 ! combines some of
R the best features
f’} =7 of bait - casting
. and fly - fishing.
0 The principle of
" the spinning reel
is quite simple—very much like
helding one end of a spool of
thread in one hand and reeling
off the thread with the other,
without letting the spool itself
reolve, Since the spool is sta
tienary, there is no back lash in
casting, and there is no require
ment for backroom. Anglers can
make more accurate casts, es
pecially in the forty and fifty
yvard range, and enjoy fishing
in seeluded spots where room
for baek-swing would otherwise
be necessary. Also, light-weight
lures ean be used more accu
rately, and a novice can become
a devoted “spinner” with only
a few hours practice., Many ex
perts have added “spinning” to
their bag of tricks, while many
who have learned first on a
spinning reel say it's the only
way to cast for fish. .. .. ..
Golng fishing this week-end?

Dodgers Take Two,
Take Over 2nd Spot
By JACK HAND
Associated Fress Sports Writer
Boston and Brooklyn, the pre-season pennant picks, are
down’but not out today-—614 games back with about six
weeks to go.
Surging at -Fenway Park, fourth-place Boston has a
five-game winning streak going in the American League.
All were scored at expense of the tattered Philadelphia
A’s, 10-6 victims last night. Washington comes into Fen
way tonight, followed by all the Western clubs.
Brooklyn, cooling off the New
York Giants yesterday in both
ends of a doubleheader, 8-6 and
5-1, regained second place in the
National League from Boston. But
those idle Phillies, showing no
signs of slackening their pace,
threaten to romp home. The Phils
open a series in New York to
night while Brooklyn entertains
Boston.
Home runs by Gene Hermanski,
Gil Hodges and Billy Cox helped
Don Newcombe struggle to his
12th victory in the opener. Still
the Dodgers needed a fine relief
job by preacher Roe. Roe came in
with the bases loaded in the eighth
and three runs home. He made
Don Mueller . rap into. a. double
play, then breezed through the
ninth.
Erv Palica tamed the Giants
with four hits in the second game.
Carl Furillo ruined New York
with his 14th homer, a single and
fly ball to drive in three runs.
Pee Wee Reese and Sam Calde
rone each hit inside-the-park hom
ers. Calrerone’s smash spoiled
Palica’s shutout in the fifth.
Cincinnati shaded Chicago, 2-1,
in the only other National League
game. Kenny Raffensberger scat
tered six Cub hits and Connie
Ryan drove in both Cincy scores
with a homer and single off Bob
Rush.
Rain washed out the Pittsburgh-
A-St, Louis night game. Philadel
phia and Boston were not sche
duled.

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
Detroit clung to its three-game
lead over runnerup Cleveland in
the American chase. New York’s
loss to Washington dropped the
Yanks 4-12 games back and only
two games ahead of the Red Sox.
The Tigers stomped Chicago,
8-3, on nine hits and nine walks.
Aaron Robinson and George Keil
each hit his eighth home, while
Hal White held the White Sox
to seven hits for his fourth win,
Cleveland had to go 12 innings
to whip the stubborn St. Louis
Browns, 5-4, Early Wynn’s pinch
single following Ray Boone’s triple
did the trick. St. Louis pulled a
triple play in the second on Dale
Mitchell's liner to Owen Friend
with the bases full.
New York's Yankees, only first
division club to tumble, bowed to
the Senaters, 2-1. After pitching
no-hit ball for 6 1-3 innings, Al
lie Reynolds finally bowed to Sid
Hudson. In addition, the Yanks
lost the. services of. outfielder
Hank Bauer, hit on the head by
a throw from catcher Al Evans,
trying to pick him off third. ....
Reynolds’ no-hitter was broken
by Sherry Robertson’s infield
single the seventh. In the eighth
Gil Coan’s two-run triple won the
game after a two-base error by
Phil Rizzuto on Hudson’s grounder
had opened the gates.
Ellis 7 inder went the route for
the Red Sox to win. his 12th
game. The loss was the 19th in
succession for the Athletics at
Fenway in two seasons.

N. E. GEORGIA TENNIS
Play Feature Match
The Sixth Annual Northeast Georgia tennis champion
ships were officially launched here Thursday afternoon
and the first match was a brilliantly played bout between
two 15-year-old performers, Harvey Jackson of Washing
ton and Merritt Pound Jr. of Athens.
It was a Junior tourney match,
finally won by Jackson, 6-4, 9-7.
Pound’s fine play—he once led at
5-3 and 30-love in the second set
—stamps him definitely as a com-
er in his first summer of com
petitive tennis. Jackson has been
a star in boys’ and Junior play the
last three years. He won the state
boys' tourney last summer, pres
ently holds the state high school
class A title and was a quarter
finalist this summer in the Na
tional boys’ meet.
Only two other matches were
played, both men’s singles first
round contests in which Harrison
Straley, young southpaw star of
Atlanta, defeated Dr. Robert West
of Athens, 6-1, 6-3, and J._E. Ber
ry of Athens trimmed Jim Whit
lock of Dublin, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.
The championships swing into a
full schedule today with all seed
ed players in the men’s singles ex
pected to complete the quarter
finals this afternoon. The seeded
players are, in order: Cortez Sut
tles of College Park, Don Floyd of
Atlanta, George Chichester of At
lanta, M, B. Wheeler of Augusta,
Malcolm Manley of Atlanta, Dan
Magill, jr., of Athens, Allen Mor
ris of Atlanta and Dick McKean
of Atlanta.
Mrs. Sarah Comer, present state
and Atlanta city champion, was
top-seeded in the women’s tfour
ney, followed by three Athenians,
Elsie Jester, Billie and Jo Wick
iffe,
Semifinals in all tourneys will
be played Saturday afternoon,
starting at 2 p. m. on the Univer
sity of Georgia clay courts by
Woodruff hall. Finals are set for
Sunday afternoon. The public is
invited. There is no admission
charge.
Voting is compulsory in Vene
zuela between the ages of 21 and
65; from 18 to 21 and above 65,
it is optional.

Republic, now known as Ciudad

Shaughnessy Playoffs
Begin In Independent
By SONNY HUFF
Independent League Sports Writer
The first round of the Independent League Shaugh
nessy play-off will get under way tomorrow afternoon at
3 o’clock when Comer meets Colbert and Watkinsville
takes on Diamond Hill in the best two out of three game
series. The second game will be played Sunday. _
The- Comer . and Colbert game
tomorrow afternoon will be play
ed on the Comer diamond and. the
Watkinsville and Diamond Hill
encounter will be played at Dia
mond Hill,
In the Comer—Colbert game it
could turn out to be either team’s
victory since -both of these
clubs are pretty evenly matched,
however, Comer is a slight fa
vorite since they took four straight
games from Colbert, but all of the
games were close contests. Re
gardless of the four setbacks suf
fered by Colbert, they will be put
ing everything they have into
this series to try to get revenge
and beat Comer and then get into
the championship play-off that
will be between the winner of this
series and the winner of the Wat
kinsville—Diamond Hill series.
| Comer wound up the season in
| first place with thirty-two wins
|and only the teams from Oconee
| county marred ther record giving
tthem three defeats. Watkinsville
‘beat them twice and Farmington
once. Colbert wound up their sea
son in third place with twenty-one
wins and thirteen losses.
In the four games that Comer
| beat Colbert they beat them 7-2,
| 8-4, 2-1, and 8-6, but before this
| series is over these scores could
easily be reversed.
In the games tomorrcw, Comer

Watkinsville — Diamond Hill
In the second game of the day,
things will really be hot in Dia
mond Hill when the former play
hosts to a strong Watkinsville nine.
Just like the above series, this
game tomorrow could go either
way, for both Watkinsville and
Diamond Hill have just ~about
equal teams. In the four games
these two teams have played, Wat
kinsville has won three and Dia
mond Hill one, and even- though
Watkinsville has aslight edge in
this series they will really have
to pull something out of the bag
if they expect to win two out of
three from this strong Diamond
Hill nine. There is no infor
matiofi available at this time as to
the team batting for Watkinsville
but the Diamond Hill starting line
up averages well above the three
hundred mark.
Watkinsville wound up their
season with a record cf twenty
five wins and ten defeats and Dia
mond Hill, who had two games
left to make up but were not nec
cessary to be played, finished with
a total of nineteen victeries and
fourteen losses.
In- the four games these two
teams played, Watkinsville won
the opener, 13-11, Diamond Hill
won the second, 7-0, for the first
shutout of the season,-and Wat
kinsville won the next two, 5-0,
and 11-1, respectively.
In the game tomorrow, Watkins
ville will start Chaple Tate on
