The Little Rock Travelers have
won four and lost one to hold an
enviable and justified tie for first
place in the Southern Association
with the Memphis Chicks. Last
night Little Rock finished off Mo
bile 6-2 while Memphis defeated
New Orleans 8-3.
But the Travelers have to travel
a lot further to wipe out the mem
ory of 1949 and 1950. Two seasons
ago ‘under Manager Jack Saltz
gaver, the Travs won their first
eight games and then proceeded
to lose nine of the next ten,
Last spring the Travs lost three
of the first four and followed
with a record breaking streak of
21 losses without letup.
While Memphis and Little Rock
remained on top the remainder of
the league took a scrambling. At
lanta tried to win its third game
in Nashville’s Sulphur Dell in
three years and failed by 5-0. Red
Barrétt’s shutout pitching scooted
the Vols from a tie for seventh to
fifth place.
Birnringham made misery out of
Chattanooga’s season opener with
an 8-3 afternoon victory to take
third place, a half game behind
the leaders.
Ed March pitched a six-hitter
for the Travs before 6,972 fans.
The figures aren’t official but
Chattanooga appears to be the
opening day attendance trophy
winner. The Lookouts attracted
10,126 fanrs. :
Nashville’s Red Barrett pitched
a four-hitter before 6,037 after
Governor Gordon Browning led
in singing the “Tennessee Waltz”
and “Dixie.”
The New Orleans turnout was
9,127 fans. It was chilly on the
lower rim of the Deep South and
so were the fans’ feelings after
Memphis’ 8-3 handling of the Pel
icans. Frank Hamlen, a young bo
nus pitcher, and Russ Opplinger,
gave New Orleans only five hits.

Trojan Rally Tops
Elephant Nine, 8-5
BY GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
The chips were down for Athens High in the top half of
the fifth inning, but the Trojans managed to return to the
victory trail in the same frame and finally top the Gaines
ville nine, 8-5, on the VFW diamond here yesterday.
Athens got the fireworks going
with three scores in the first in
ning, but the Red Elephants got
four hits to score five runs in the
fifth. At this point they headed
the Trojans, 5-3, but not for long.
The local nine went on a hitting
spree and tallied four runs in the
last of the fifth to move back into
the lead. The Trojans tailied once
in the sixth to wrap it up.
Jimmy Thompson pitched the
entire game for the Trojans, being
in trouble only for a short while
in the fifth. He struck cut 12 and
walked four while the Red Ele
phant moundsman, Jim Fortner,
struck out 11 and walked one.
The Trojans collected eight hits
to seven for the losers. Thompson
helped win his own game with a
home run. Also getting a four
base blow was Jerry Walker, Ath
ens catcher, Walker collected a
double and Sonny Saye a triple,
Saye and Walker were the only
two Trojans hitting safely more
than once,
Batting Star
For Gainesville Don Wolfe was
the big gun with two doubles in
three official trips. Fortner hit a
triple in his four times at bat.
Athens scored its runs in the
first inning when Saye rapped a
gsingle and scored when Wolfe,
Gainesville right fielder, errored
on a blow by Avery Harvill. The
ball rolled through the fence along
the side of the field and Harvill
also came home. Walker hit a dou=
ble, stole third and c¢came home
when Flanagan reached first on an
error, after Wallace had walked.
In the fifth frame Gainesville’s
Jim Turner was hit by Thompson,
Jim Waldrip got to first on a field
er’s choice and to second on a bad
throw to second by Bobby Wallace,
and Turner came home. Waldrip
scored when Wolfe hit a double.
Bill Vardeman flied out, but Fort
ner batted in Wolfe on a triple.
Fortner came home on a single by
Dallas Gilbert. Gilbert scored
when Jimmy Cook hit a single and
the pitcher errored so as to allow
Cook to reach second, Ted Dills
flied out and Joe Herrin was fan
ned to retire the side.
Big Inning
Bill Compton flied cut to start
off the Trojan half of the fifth
frame, and “Country” Malcom
struck out. The rally got under
way on Thompson’s homer. Sonny
Saye hit a triple, then scored on an
error by the catcher. Harvill rap
ped a single and scored on Walk
er's home run. Wallace was fan
ned to complete the inning.
Athens’ run in the sixth came
when Charles Flanagan got a sin
gle, went to second on an error,
was sacrificed to third by Bill
Saye and scored on a wild pitch.
The Trojans meet Monroe in
that city on Friday at 3:30 p. m.
Previously Athens topped them
here, 17-5.

DODGERS DREW 73,460
MIAMI —(AP)— The Brooklyn
Dodgers drew 73,460 fans for their
18 exhibition games in the ultra
modern Miami Stadium. That’s not
bad when you consider many of
the night games were played in
cool weather. However, the aver
age of 4,081 fans per game was
far below expectations. The Dodg
ers hoped to average 7,000 fans
per game.

nine after being only one down at
the turn.
Top stars still in the upper
bracket included Dale Morey,

bart Manley of Savannah, Ga.;
Connecticut champion Bill Mark=
ham, and Walker Cuppers Chap
man, Campbell and McHale.
J. E. (Budd) Lutz jr., of Read
ing, Pa., bagged a hole in one on
the 156-yard ninth yesterday.
The lower bracket sported such
capable performers as Frank
Stranahan, twice a winner here;
Harvie Ward who beat Stranahan
for the 1948 title, and the dynamic
Mr. Goodloe who has been draw
ing some of the largest galleries.
Quarter-finals will be at 18 holes
tomorrow over the 6,900-yard No.
2 course of the Pinehurst Country
Club. The route will be extended
to 36 holes for semi-finals Friday
and the windup Saturday.

BY JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer .
Is this'going to be another bridesmaid year for Boston'y
perennial left-at-the-altar Red Sox?
Vie Raschi’s 5-0 handcuffing of the Sox sluggers for the
New York Yankees yesterday may have been just one of
those things. On the other hand, it might have been a sigy
of things to come.
'—Wz;{c’l;i’r;g‘tvhe Sox being throt
tled with only six singles made
it almost impossible to visualize
them as the same pulverizing team
that ran off 11 straight grapefruit
league victories.
The season’s opener proved a
total loss for Boston. Not only
were the Red Sox horse-collared,
but the city’s National League
representatives, the Braves, were
goose-egged as Larry Jansen of
the Giants shut them out, 4-0, with
five singles.
Philadelphia’s defending cham
pion Phils downed Brooklyn’s
Dodgers, 5-2 at Ebbets field. Rob=
in Roberts, whose final-day
triumph over the Books gave the
Phils their first flag in 35 years
last season, again thwarted the
Dodgers.
Two Hit Job
Bob Lemon, King of the 1950
pitchers, threw a brilliant two hit
ter at the Tigers to pitch the Cle
veland Indians to a 2-1 triumph in
Detroit.
Outfielder Al Zarilla blasted
St. Louis Brown pitching for a
home run, double and single to
lead the White Sox to a 17-8 romp
before 5,560 at St. Louis.
Murry Dickson pitched and bat
ted the Pirates to a 5-4 victory ov=
er the St. Louis Cardinals in Pitts
burgh. The little righthander
walloped his first major league
home run and contributed a single
in another scoring rally.
The Chicago Cubs made merry
at the expense of Ken Raffensber
ger, whipping the Cincinnati Reds,
8-3. Andy Pakfo, veteran outfield
er, chipped in with a homer, trip
ple and single.
Cold weather held the inaugural
crowds to a disappointing 171,678
fans at the eight parks. Last year
the eight openers drew 252,700.
Jensen Heomers
The biggest crowd of the day—
-44,860 Yankee Stadium fans—saw
Jackie Jensen steal the show from
Mickey Mantle, the publiezed
New York rookie flash. Jensen
smached a two-run homer and
doubled in the sixth inning. Fin
ished in four times at bat.
A crowd of 43,470 watched a
pitching duel between Lemon and
Hal Newhouser in Detroit.
Dick Sisler, Del Ennis and Mike
Galiat led the Phils nine-hit at
tack at Booklyn before 19,217
chilled fans. Sisler, whose three
run homer beat Brooklyn for the
pennant last year, hit two singles
and scored twice. Ennis batted in
three runs with a homer and sing
le, Goliat socked a four-bagger in
the second inning to gain the hon
or of connecting with the first Ma
jor League homer of the year.
Carl Erskine, a surprise starter,
was the loser.
Only 6,081 saw Jensen gain his
first victory in four opening-day
attempts. The righthander out
pitched Vern Bickford, Boston's
no-hit hurler, to give the Giants
their first opening win since 1946.
Dutch Miller went all the way
