Wheby Views Squad
With Optimistic Air
BY ALVA MAYES, JR.
“We believe this is our year,” commented Coach Earl
Whgby of the Athens High Trojans yesterday afternoon as
he stcod watching one of the largest turnouts for footßHall
in the school’s_h_istory perform on the practice field.
«For the past two years we
have been building toward this
date, he continued, and now we
believe we are ready. We have
a lot of available materidl and a
lot of actual game experience
gained during the last two sea
sons.”
“Wwe made a good start toward
and exceptional season ldst year
and this fall if nothing happens
we expect to do as well, or betg
ter,” the Trojan Head mentor said.
Year before last the Trojans
lost nine games while winning
only one in Wheby’s first season
at the local School. Last year
they completed the season with
seven victories and three losses,
those being only to such state
powerhouses last year as Elberton,
Gainesville, and Spalding High.
Ten Games
A ten game schedule has been
prepared this year, featuring all
Class A teams, two of the state’s
outstanding Class AA elevens, and
a Class AA out of state squad to
which the Trojans will journey in
their scason’s finale.
Fifteen lettermen have returned
to bolcter the nucleus of the
Athens squad this season with
such standouts from last season
as Elmer Chapman, John Short,
and Bobby Carter in the line and
Jimmy William, Jerry Price, Gar
land Sailors and Jimmy Maxwell
in the backfield. o
Williams, winner of all-state
honors last season ,is expected to
reach his prime this fall and is
a strong contender for one of the
state’s top back nominations. The
160 pound halfback will lead his
team in the action this fall with
capabilities in all the triple threat
fields.
Trojan Line
Chapman and Short, will again
be the mainstays in the Trojan
line; Chapman from his flanker
post and Short in a guard's role.
These two will be aided by Grady
Flanagan, Billy McGinnis, Carter,
Mack O'Kelley, and Willie Fowler
who all saw action with the Tro
jans last season.
Bill Saye, defensive standout
last season at end will work at
center this fall and will also hand
le the punting for the Trojans.
Saye, who had one of the finest
game averages in punting in Re
gion 4-A last year is expected to
better his last season mark this
vear.
The Trojans are now in their
second week of fall practice. Two
more remain before the opening
of their schedule on September
15. Their first opponent will be
Druid Hills of Atlanta who will
come to Sanford Stadium for the
Troian curtain raiser.

Gavilan Still Champ
By Hairline Decision
NEW YORK, Aug. 30. — (AP) — Kid Gavilan won a
hairline decision over Billy Graham to keep the world
heavyweight championship, but the fight served only to
start a furious argument.
It was their third meeting and the third split decision.
Graham now has won once and the Cuban twice.
The 15-round fight last night in
Madison Square Garden resolved
itself into a matter of personal
opinion, Gavilan was more gener
ally the aggressor, started fast, and
threw long, looping punches. Gra
ham was the superb counter
puncher, started slowly, and closed
with a rush.
Despite the numerous blows
there were no knockdowns and no
serious damage.
The pro-Graham crowd roared a
mighty protest, cheered the New
Yorker to the echo, and Al Weill,
international boxing club match
maker, dashed into Graham’s
dressing room and told the dis
consolate challenger, “don't wor
ry, don't worry, you'll get another
chance.”

Chicks Regain
Fourth Place
VWith Vol Win
By The Assoclated Press
Thanks to the Chicago White
Sox and Selective Service the
Memphis Chicks still have Marv
Rotblatt. And thanks to the lit
tle lefthander, the Chicks are
back in fourth place today in the
Southern Association playoff fight.
Rotblatt, who spent most of the
year with the White Sox, was be
lieved lost by the Chicks to the
armed forces a week ago. But
draft officials in Chicago gave the
youngster a brief deferment and
he has since captured two straight
victories for Luke Appling’s
crew.
Last night Marv stopped the
slugging Nashville Vols on five
hits for his fourth triumph as the
Chicks won, 3-1.
Michigan Jim Atchley, who re
tired complaining of a pain near
his heart in the sixth, was tagged
with the loss—his sixth against 12
victories.
Little Rock downed the Chatta
nooga Lookouts, 10-7, in 10 in
nings; Mobile edged New Orleans
5-4; and Atlanta toppled the Bir
mingham Barons, 6-2.
Third place Mobile pulled to
within a game and a half of the
sagging Birmingham Barons by
scoring five times in the f{fifth
against New Orleans.
The determined Atlanta Crack
ers rematned in the thick of the
scrap for the fourth playoff spot
by using home runs ro down Bir
mingham in their series opener.
Ralph Brown hit for the circuit
with nobody on in the first and
Eddie Mathews homered with the
bases loaded in the seventh.
Joe Reardon went the route for
the Crackers for his 10th decision
compared with 11 reverses. Nor
man Brown, a former Atlanta
hurler, took his 16th licking. The
veteran righthander has won 13,
The victory, eighth in the last
nine games for the surging Crack
ers, left them 1% games behind
fourth place Memphis.

Graham softly, -
Gaviland talked Spanish a mile
a minute but allowed he thought
he won it nine rounds to four with
the rest even.

fense of the championship he won
May 18 from Johnny Bratton. He
went into the ring a 12-5 favorite,
At 145 1-4 he had a one-quarter

Yanks Bank On Sain
For Flag Insurance
The New York Yankees are banking on a johnny-come
lately from the National League to insure success in their
drive for the American League flag.
The Yanks acquired Johnny
Sain, veteran righthander from
the Boston Braves yesterday and
celebrated the purchase by trounc
ing the Browns, 15-2, under the
lighfs in St. Louls. The victory
gave them a first place tie with
Cleveland, which dropped a 3-0
decision to Philadelphia in the
afternoon.
Sain, picked up for $50,000 and
minor league pitcher- Lew Bur
dette, will join the Yanks in Wash
ington Saturday. The 32-year-old
vet is tabbed for relief duty. He
won only five and lost 13 for the
Braves this season, Sain, a 20-
game winner three times, was
waived out of the National Lea
gue.
Allie Reynolds stopped the
Browns on two hits as the Yanks
closed out their final tour of the
West with a 7-4 record. The
Yanks clubbed Brownie ace Ned
Garver and two relief pitchers
for 17 hits.
- Gus Zernial and Alex Kellner
teamed up to beat the Indians.
Zernial sent two runs home with
his 29th homer and doubled and
scored the third Philadelphia run.
Kellner blanked the Indians on
five safeties in out-pitching Mike
Garcia,
The Boston Red Sox turned
back the Detroit Tigers, 7-5, and
the Washington Senators nosed
out the Chicago White Sox, 2-1,
in 13 innings.
In the National League, the
pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers
humbled the Cincinnati Reds,
13-1; the runner-up New York
Giants downed the Pittsburgh Pir
ates, 3-1; the St. Louis Cardinals
nipped the Philadelphia Phils,
3-2, and the Boston Braves de
feated the Chicago Cubs, 4-1.
Gil Hodges drove home seven
runs on a pair of homers and a
double to lead the Dodgers to vic
tory against the Reds.
Dick Cole, rogkie righthander,
turned in his first pmajor league
victory in pitching Boston to a
three-hit triumph over Chicago.

New Baseball
War Noises
In West Loop
SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 30 —
(AP)—Rumblings of a new base=
ball war were heard over the Pas=
cific Coast today.
Directors of the big, Triple-A
Pacific Coast League voted unan
imously last night to quit organ
ized baseball unless their demands
for abolition of the draft and rec=
ognition of major league equality
were accepted.
The drastic steps culminated a
five year “struggle to free the
coast circuit from the draft law
which permits major league clubs
to pick up Triple-A players for
SIO,OOO. The coast loop was the
last of the minor leagues to ac
ceg'; the draft, agreeing to it in
1931.
One bitter complaint against
the draft was the case of George
Matkovich, an outfielder pur-
L(--hased by Oakland from the Bos
ton Red Sox for $25,000. After
'a sparkling season, Metkovich was
drafted by the Pittshurgh Pirates
for SIO,OOO.
Representatives of seven clubs
agreed on the resolution which
\could result in a divorce from the
'National Association of Profes
‘sional Baseball Leagues unless
the terms are met.
The resolution stated that if a
new agreement with the National
and American Leagues as well as
National Association is made the
Coast League will sever all con
nections. It means in effect the
PLC will turn ouilaw and operate
independently,
The last league in this country
to buck organized ball was the
belated Federal League. It cpened
in 1914 and folded after the 1815
season but managed to throw a
scare into the National and Amer
ican Leagues.
