First Half Play
Nears Conclusion
The first half of the Municipal League ends this Wed
nesday night with a make-up game that has been sched
uled for 7:00, the regular time for the first game to begin.
The Municipal league has had
egularly scheduled games every
veek night during the early sum
ner months which have been at
iended heavily by interésted Ath
enians and sports enthusiasts.
Wayne Shielas, Director of the
City Recreation, Department, stat
ed Saturday that the league this
year is a strictly recreational league
and that the townspeople obviously
approve since the attendance has
improved more than 50% over last
year’s turn-outs.
Last Three Nights
The last three evenings of the
league will be begun tonight at
7:00 with the league leaders, Char-
He James Dry Cleaners, taking on
4heir close rivals who occupy the
second gpot on the standings. The
Prince Avenue team has been
pushing for top honors in the
league but it appears that the
Cleaners will have the spot wrap
ped up securely even if the Bap
tist defeat them Monday. Charlie
James has a 12 won and none lost
record while the Prince Avenuers
have 10 won and 3 lost.

The second game will see Dairy
l pak play the last place Does.. The
Dairypakers are considered by
| most sources to be a certain thing
to defeat the medics. Since the
Dairypakers are probably going to
take their Monday night game the
pressure will be on the Prince Av
enue aggregation to win theirs too.
Dairypak has been pushing the
church team for the second place
for some time in the regular play
and Monday night may tip the
scales in their favor.
Standings
If the James boys beat the
Prince Avenuers and the Dairy
pak team takes the Docs tire stand
ings will go this way: James-13
wins and no losses, Dairypak and
Prince Avenue with 10 wins and 4
losses each. That will place the
tworcontenders for second place in
a tie the honors.
Tuesday’s games will include the
Athens Manufacturing team at the
University Profs. and DeMolay at
Mathis.
Wednesday night will conclude
the first half of the league with a
make-up game between Mathis
and James.
With three nights of play left in
the league the Banner-Herald pre
dicts that anything can still hap
pen to decide the top teams in the
hard playing league competition.

Garver Wins
Twelfth As
Browns Split
By JOE REICHLER
AP Sports Writer
Ned Garver . . . Bob Hooper . ..
Sam Zoldak . . . Conrado Marrero
. .. Murry Dickson—unsung pitch
ing stars all.
All fine pitchers, all fierce com=
petitors, all stricken by the same
misfortune—all toil for second di
wvision clubs.
There are many observers who
rate Garver the best pitcher in the
American League. The 25-year
old righthander has won 12 games
for the cellar-dwelling St. Louis
Browns. ¢
Garver does not pick his spots,
either, Seven of his dozen tri
umphs, have been against the con
tenders. He whipped the league
leading Red Sox 3-1 yesterday as
the Browns held Boston to a split
in their doubleheader.
~ Bosox Split
The Red Sox won the nightcap,
9-5, to widen their lead to two
games over the Chicago White Sox
who suffered two stunning upsets
at the hands of the Philadelphia
Athletics, 3-1 and 5-0.
Ned surrendered only five hits
yesterday. Doubles by Buddy Ro
sar and Dom DiMaggio in the third
inning accounted for Boston’s lone
run. Billy Goodman’s four-for
four paced the Red Sox in their
second-game victory as Ray Scar
borough bested Bill Kennedy.
Hooper, 29-year-old righthand
er, mastered the White Sox for
the third time this season, and
Zoldak yielded only one hit as the
seventh place Athletics twice
humbled Paul Richards’ crew.
Hooper not only held the White
Sox scoreless until the ninth, but
it was his home run in the top of
the ninth with two on that won
for Philadelphia.
Chicago’s one bright spot was
the fielding of Chico Carrasquel.
-Chico set a league record for er
rorless chances at shortstop, 289,
in 51 games,
Marrero won his ninth game
against five losses for Washington
as the Senators split with Cleve~
land. After Marrero won the
opener, 7-4, the Indians took the
second, 7-2.
Nats Explode
Sam Meie’s two-run homer in
the first and his one-run single in
the sixth won for Washington.
Larry Doby, Luke Easter and Bob
Avila batted in two runs apiece for
the Indians in the nighteap. Gil
Coan of Washington collected five
hits in the doubleheader to take
%\é%r the league’s batting lead with
The Yankees divided a pair in
Detroit to move up within three
tenths of a percentage point of the
second-place White Sox. After
Fred Hutchinson had pitched the
Tigers to a 5-3 victory, the Yan
kees eked out an 8-7 nightcap win.
It took a nifty relief job by Allié
Reynolds in the ninth to snap the
Yanks losing ways. Reynolds
strode in after the Tigers had tal
lied three times on Charlie Kell
er’s pinch homer with two on.

Francisco star, 8-6, 2-6, 8-6. Floyd

pion) in the finals, 6-2, 6-4. |
