Right or wrong, fair or foul,

Paul Roy, calling balls and
strikes behind the Birmingham

Higgins of the Birmingham Barons

vietory over New Orleans.
Roy didn’t believe that Birming
ham piteher Leo Kiely hit Pelican
batter Harry Fisher until Fisher
showed the ump his arm where
the ball is supposed to have hit.
Roy then ruled that Fisher was
hit and Mike (Pinky) Higgins be=

!BY CHARLES CHAMBEB_LAIN
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 23—(AP)
—-A crop of youngsters, products
| of the country’s widespread junior
golf program, is moving in for a
kill at the National Amateur.
Seldom in the 50-year-history of
| the Sedate tournament has so
much young blood flowed past
the hazardous first two days of
play and into tie third and fourth
rounds.
Still in the race for amateur
golf’s greatest honor are such old
‘hands as Toledo’s Frank Strana
| han, defending champion Charlie
| Coe of Oklahoma City; former
!winners Ted Bishop of Weston,
! Mass., Dick Chapman of Pinehurst,
'N. C., and Willie Turnesa of
White Plains, N. Y.
Warhooping -fter such season
ed swingingers as these come the
| kids, led by 15-year-old Don Bis
| plinghoff of Orlando, Fla., high
I school.
' The square-shouldered blond
fwcnt to the semi-finals of the U.
| S. G. A..junior meet at Denver re
’ccntly. Other ages reach into the
early 20’s and represent youths
who found their tournament legs
in such meets as the U. S. G. A.-
Junior, the National Junior Cham
| ber of Commerce meet, the Na
,tinnal Caddy Tourney, the West
'ern Golf Association Junior Open,
‘and the Hearst National.
. . Foremost among the newcomers
~are husky Gene Littler, the Jaycee
1948 champion from Seattle,
§Wash., and 211-vear-old Gerald
iKessch‘ing of Kitchener, Ont,
Canada.
| e
Nashville scored their three runs
on two hits, two walks, an error,
and a double steal.
Atlanta also won to hold the
five-game margin over second
ranking Birmingham. The Crack
ers defeated Mobile 4-3 and for
once the game was practically
without Incldent. There wasn’t a
hint that the same two teams bat
tled Monday. Managers Paul
Chervinko of Mobile and Dixie
Walker of Atlanta peacefully dis
cussed ground rules near the same
spot where they slugged each other
24 hours before.
Qutfielder Country Brown broke
open the game last night in the
10th with a homer which traveled
a good portion of a country mile.
It was the 21st victory of the year
for Atlanta in the final inning of
a game.
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
| ~ The Municipal Softball League championship double

Inight, when Post Office defeated Prince Avenue Baptist
! Church in second round play, 8-6.
In the other contest, things

Ocone» Street Methodist Church
downed the Optimist Club, 13-9.
However; the Optimist gave the
favorites .a real scare, jumning off
to a onick 4-0 lead in the first in
ning. This lead was shortlived, as
the Oconee crew chopned back
and steadily took the lead and
gathered insurance.
Pret O*fica’s win over Prince
Avenue was a real surprise. Manv

with Oconee, althauch Prince fin

New Record
Smashed In
Channel Swim
DOVER, England,. Aug. 23 —
(AP)—Two more swimmers head
ed across the English Channel in
opposite ‘directions—just a few
hours after seven men and two
women churned their way through
the strait in an historic mass cross
ing.
Two other Britain-bound mara
thoners—Frenchman Georges Al
fonsi and Dutchman Joseph Van
Waal—gave up less than half-way
to their goal.
The England-to-France swim
mer was 18-year old Philip Mick
man, English swimming wonder,
who took off at 7:45 a. m. (1:45 a.
m. EST) from just west of Dover
harbor .to try for his second chan
nei conquest and his first crossing
in that direction.
He began his try exactly a year
from the time he conquered the
France-to-England route in 23
hours and 48 minutes.
The other three of today’s start
ers began at Cap Gris Nez, France,
heading toward this ancient chan
nel port. One of them—the Belgian
Bernand du Moulin—was so con
fident he planned to swim back
again after a 15-minute rest.
Moulin, who made the crossing
last year in 21 hours 48 minutes,
tossed off a bottle of champagne
before entering the water at 2:36
a. m. (8:36 p. m. Tues.)
Appendicitis Attack
An attack of apendicitis ended
Alfonsi’s attempt one hour after
he started. He was pulled out of
the water with a rope and was
still doubled up in pain when he
was brought back to his hotel at
Wissant, France.
Van Waal was dragged from the
water at 7 a. m., about half way
across the 19-mile stretch.
Yesterday when 24 swimmers
set out in a race won in record
time by 41-year old Hassan Abd
el Rehim, 217-pound Egyptian
strongman.
Rehim won yesterday’s race
from Cap Gris Nez to Dover with
a tremendous closing spurt that
overtook Roger Le Morvan of
France just off the English shore.
Both men smashed the 24-year
old record for channel crossings.
Rehim’s time for the treacherous
19-mile stretch of water was 10
hours 53 minutes. Le Morvan, 26-
year old Paris electrician, was 10
minutes behind.
The old record of 11 hours 5
minutes was set by Georges Mi
chel of France in 1926.
Both Rehim and the first wo
man to finish—Eileen Fenton, 21-
yvear old English school teacher—
won prizes of 1,000 pounds
($2,800) each, given by the Lon
don Dajly Mail which sponsored
the race.

Yanks Pound Tigers
In 13-6 Slug Affair
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Today could be descrit=d as D
day in the life and times of the
turbulent Detroit Tigers.
Another loss on top of yester
day’s 13-6 beaimng by the New
York Yankees might mark the be
ginning of the end of Detroit’s
pennant dream. Also the outlook
for the third and last of the three
game set at Yankee Stadium
Thursday is far from bright. Then
comes Boston. . :
Red Rolfe is banking on his ace,
Art Houtteman today. The young
right-hander ' and veteran Dizzy
Trout are all that’s left of the
once-mighty Tiger pitching erew.
Hal Newhouser and Fred Hutchin
son have been in and out all year.
Virgil Trucks and Ted Gray are
laid up with sore arms. Hal White
was pounded black and blue yes
terday and Trout worked the day
before. So everything is up to
Houttemar:. -
Houtteman (16-9) has beaten
the Yanks four time sin six out=
ings. Vereran Vic Raschi (15-8),
his opponent, owns a 1-2 season
record against the Tigers.
The Yankees were simply mer
ciless on three Tiger pitchers yes
terday. Led by Catcher Yogi Ber
ra, they clubbed out 14 hits, in
cluding two doubles, a triple and
three home runs. Berra batted in
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1950,
six runs with his homer, triple and
two singles.
Gave Up 11 Hits
Allie Reynolds’ pitching was on
ly fair. He gave up 11 hits and
five walks.
It was a disastrous day all
around for the Tigers as the In
dians and Red Sox also won.
