Griffin Moody Takes Second
Place With Par Score Of 288
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
Banner-Herald Sports Editor i
Bantam Billy Maxwell of North Texas State turned in
his “worst” 18-hole score of the three-day Southern Inter
collegiate golf tournament yesterday, but his par 72 for the
closing round left him all alone at the head of the class
with a new record 278-—lO strokes under par for the 72
holes. .
Phillies Shade
Giants, 6-5
lants, 6-o,
In 10 Frames
By The Associated Press
Richie Ashburn, fleet center
fielder, drove home three runs,
including the payoff marker, as
the Phillies edged the New York
Giants, 6-5, Saturday in ten in
nings.
Ashburn singled home Ken Sil
vestri from third with two out in
the tenth to break up the game.
Earlier, Ashburn climaxed a four
run sixth inning rally with a two
run single.
The Giants blew a great chance
to win in the ninth when they
loaded the bases with none out,
Cincinnati pitchers handed the
St. Louis Cardinals two runs on a
silver platter in the 10th inning of
the second game to give the Cards
an 8 to 6 victory and an even split
in their doubleheader. The Reds
won the first game, 7 to 2, behind
Kenny Raffensberger. Four con
secutive walks by Kent Peterson
and Bud Byerly gave the Cards
their winning tallies in the second
contest.
Stomach Ache
Frank Hiller, who complained
of a stomach ache before he
pitched to one batter, chalked up
his third victory as the Chicago
Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates
8-4.
The Cubs sewed up the game in
the first inning with a seven-run
onslaught on six singles, a hit
batsman and an error. Vernon
Law first of three Pirate hurlers,
was charged with his first defeat.
Wally Westlake knocked in three
of the Pirate runs with his sev
enth and eighth home runs.
Vie Raschi picked on his Phila
delphia “cousins” as he pitched
the New York Yankees to an 8-4
victory over the Athletics for his
fifth victory of the season.
It was Raschi’s 18th lifetime
victory over the A’s against only
two defeats. Raschi scattered
eight hits while the Yanks pound
ed out 14, including three singles
by Mickey Mantle and a double
and triple by Yogi Berra. The
Yanks made short work of Dick
Fowler, pounding him out in the
first inning with a four-run blast.
1 Seven Doubles
Seven doubles, two of the mis
judged flies, helped the Detroit
Tigers pin another defeat — this
one 5 to 2 — on the St. Louis
Browns.
An error by Johnny Berqg, a
double by Myron Ginsberg and
two walks by Lou Sleater gave
Detroit the leading run in the
eighth.
The Tigers added a safety mar
gin in the ninth.
The Chicago White-Sox wrested
third place in the American
League from the Cleveland In
dians as Billy Pierce fashioned a
neat four-hitter for a 3-2 victory
over the Tribe before 10,514 at
Comiskey Park.
Pierce’s fine job followed a one
hitter tossed against the Indians
last night by the pale hose’s Joe
Dobson.
Although the White Sox banged
eight hits off Mike Garcia, who
suffered his first loss against two
wins, all their scoring came in a
three-run second. |
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
The colorful ace from North
Texas had plenty of elbow room
at the top, despite his lapse to a
mere par. After firing a 65 in the
first round—also a new record for
the Southern Intercollegiate—
Maxwell added a two-under-par
70 Friday, and a one-under-par
71 this morning.
His par 72 for the last round left
Buntam Billy 10 strokes ahead of
Georgia’s Griffin Moody, of Ath
ens, who matched par for the 72
holes with 288. Moody turned in
scores of 71 Thursday, 70 Friday,
and had rounds of 73 and 74 Sat
urday to clinch the runner-up
position,
Strung out behind the leaders
were Buster Reed, North Texas
State, who totalled 291; L. M.
Crannell, jr., also of the par-bust
ing Texas team, with 293; Tim
Holland, Miami, with 295: and lit=-
Jackets Edge
Georgia Nine
Georgia Tech’s baseball team
edged the Georgia Bulldogs here
Saturday afternoon, 8-7, in a
heart-breaker rzor the local team.
All Tech’s runs were unearned
in the season-closing game for the
Bulldogs, and the Jackets were
soundly outhit by Georgia, 17 hits
to 10. Georgia couldn’t get their
men across the plate and left 17
runners strancea on the bases.
Captain Charley Kell went the
distance in losing his final college
start before the home crowd. Tech
used two pitchers — Claude
Young who went through five in
nings and Herb Bradshaw- who
came on to finsh the game.
Georgia had three men left on
in a ninth-inning threat, as Brad
shaw made Sonny Dykes hit into
a double play and then got Harry
Babcock to pop up with the sacks
stiil loaded.
Johnny Clifton was the big hit
ter of the day. He poled a base
cleaning triple in the sixth inning,
driving in three tallies. Jackie
Roberts followed with a single,
scoring Clifton, The four runs
tied the score at 7-7, but Georgia
Tech went ahead to stay with an
other run.
The defeat divided the series at
two games each for the two rival
schools.

team trophy at the close of Fri
day's round, with a score of 577
only two strokes lower than Geore
gia, whose 579 threatened to over
take Texans until the last card
had been added.
SEC Crown
Georgia won the Southeastern
Conference crown, also decided at
the end of 36 holes of medal play.
Maxwell's record 278 bettered
the 280 established by Arnold
Palmer of Wake Forest in last
yvear’s tournament, which was the
first time the individaul cham
pion had been decided by 72
holes of medal play. The score,
incidentally, was the exact figure
named by Tournament Chairman
Howell Hollis at the end of Thurs
day’s brilliant round.
Scores of all but the top golfers
began to mount after the fast and
furious string of sub-par-:rounds
on Thursday. More than one of
the top contenders virtually bow
ed out after tricky winds and
even ftrickier greens had taken
their toll Friday.
Maxwell, of course, was the
darling of the gallery after his
unprecedented 65 in the opening
18 holes. Better than two-thirds
of the fans on the course Saturday
were following the threesome of
Maxwell, Wilkins Kirby of Geor
gia, and Tim Holland of Miami.

Eight-Stroke Lead
It wag all over but the presen=
tation after Maxwell carded a 71
in Saturday morning’s three-qur
ter mark, With an eight-stroke
lead over the game Griffin Moody,
the little Texas stroker was al
ready on the throne in the minds
of most followers.
Maxwell passed the ninth green
one under par «espite three
straight bogies on the front side.
He was four under at six, but
slipped to bo%ies on seven, eight,
and nine. A buzzard five on the
par-three 17th on the back nine
kept Maxwell from a score even
lower than his amazing 278.
