Season Minus Stars
BY MERRITT POUND, JR.
Banner-Herald Sports Editor
With the loss of four seniors, all first string players, who
graduate in June, Coach Marion Norris is undecided about
the potential strength of Athens High's Trojanette bas
ketball team of next year.
“We had a good season thisl
year,” said the experienced maker
of top flight feminine cage teams, I
“but 1 don't know about next
year. We lose four starters byl
graduation and as yet I don’t
know what can be expected next!
season.” |
Receive Diplomas {
Seniors Jean Fulcher, Marian
Hopkins, Sibyle Fanning, and Pat
Messer, the former three all high
scoring forwards, and the latter
the queen of the defensive corps,
will all receive their diplomas
come June. Regulars returning
for at least another seaton of eli
gibility will be Joan Alewine, Sue
Winfrey, and Annelle Williams.
Reserves of this past season’s
combine who will be around for
another tipoff or two are Betty
Ann Conger, June Hanson, Anne
Hailey, Nan Richardson, and Vi
vian Smith.
Season’s Record
Completing the season with a
23 win, four loss record, the Tro
janettes copped the regional
championship for the second
straight year, but their state hopes
were shattered when ace forward
Marion Hopkins came down with
flu and was unable to play at full
strength. However, Fulcher, in
the Trojanette’s state tourney
game, hit for 35 points, a fitting
way to end a splendid career.

Elks Report History
Of Aidmore Benefit
With interest mounting in connection with the forth
coming benefit baseball game here March 31 between the
Georgia Bulldogs and the Atlanta Crackers, J. W. Mat
thews, chairman of the project, today issued a detailed
report on the hospital to receive the entire proceeds from
the game, Ww g R s o A
“Aidmore Crippled Children’s
Hospital was opened about 15
years ago,” he said, “and has
grown from a very small begin
ning to a 50-bed institution. Only
children whose parents are finan
cially unable to provide treatment
for them are permitted to enter.
Elks Clubs over the state finance
the operation of the hospital”
Continuing, Matthews reported
that there are in the hospital now
physical and speech therapists, a
full staff of nurses and the medi
cal staff is composed of various
doctors in Atlanta. This staff han
dles polio and cerebral palsey
cases, and cases where corrective
measures are nececsary on club
feet. In addition, other deformi
ties in children’s bone structure
are treated.
Only Georgia Place
“Too,” said Matthews, “four
beds are set aside for treating
rheumatic heart cases and this is
the only such place in Georgia
where a ward of this kind has
been provided.”
Finally, Matthews pointed out,
a complete dental clinic is in
cluded among the facilities. A
lecal member of Elks equipped
this clinie.
The hospital is controlled by a
board of trustees made up of one
member from each Elk Lodge in
Georgia and the officers of the
Georgia Elks Association. Red
Armstrong is the Athens member
of this board of trustees. This
board passes on the acceptance of
cases for treatment,
Explaining that Aidmore also
has services: to provide for out
patients, Matthews said that
crutches, wheel chairs and braces
are provided in some instances.
He said that one child in this dis
trict is now wusing the second
wheel chair provided by Aidmore,
the first one having been provid
ed a number of years ago and is
now worn out. This particular
child is a cerebral palsy patient.
Annual Contributor
Matthews continued that the
local Elks Club contributes sev
eral thousand dollars to Aidmore
each year and that the game
March 31 will provide only a part
of the funds given for this year.
Already a considerable portion of
the year's donation from this club
has been made.
There are more than 700 mem
bers githe local Elks Club and the
membérs are selling tickets for
the game between the Crackers
and Bulldogs. Adult tickets are $1
each and students through high
school age are to be admitted with
50 cent tickets.
The game is to be played on

ORLANDO, Fla.,, March 19.—
(AP) — Rookie pitcher Gerald
Lane’s five hitless innings are the
pride of Washington Senators
Manager Bucky Harris.
The Senators, notoriously shy of
mound strength last season, are
desperately seeking plugs for that
gap.
Lane kept the Philadelphia Phil
lies hitless in the two innings he
tossed during yesterday’s exhibi
tion at Clearwater. He gave up no
hits in the three innings of his
earlier start.
The 2-1 loss to the Phillies yes
terday ran the Senators’ Grape
fiuit record to four victories,
three defeats and one tie.
LAKELAND, Fla., March 19.—
(AP)—Vic Wertz will get a few
days rest and rookie Ben Taylor
will take over at first base start
ing today for the Detroit Tigers.
But the experinrental switch of
Wertz from rightfield to first
hasn’t ended. Right now Manager
Red Rolfe thinks Wertz will be
come his regular first sacker and
wants to give him some time off
from games to practice mechanics
of the job and get some confi
dence.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif,,
March 19.—(AP)—Unless some of
the Cleveland Indians start perk
ing up at the plate, General Man
ager Hank Greenberg will have
money worries.
Except for Harry Simpson, stu
dents of his batting school at the
start of the season just haven’t
been hitting consistently., That
goes for Larry Doby, Al Rosen
and Ray Boone.
Hank said if his pupils didn’t
raise their collective batting aver
‘age 20 points, he would pay SI,OOO
out of his own pocket to the
ICleveland Comnrunity Fund. -
~ TAMPA, Fla., March 19.—(AP)
—The big question around today
is what has happened to all of
that fine pitching the Cincinnati
Reds were supposed to have?
Ewell Blackwell, considered the
No. 1 man, got his lumps Monday
and yesterday it was Ken Raffens
berger and rookie Joe Nuxall who
were kicked around as the Reds
|took an 11 to 0 clubbing from the
St. Louis Cardinals.
The Reds got only four hits off
Cliff Chambers and Willard
Schmidt.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif,,
March 19.—(AP)—The Pittsburgh
Pirates are having a hard time
trying to find the right position
for Dick Hall, 6 foot 6 bonus rookie
from Swarthmore College.
Hall, who cost the Bucks a re
ported $25,000, has been working
out at first base but Manager
Bill Meyer says he looks awkward
there. Meyer is toying with the
idea of having the 21-year-old big
fellow try his hand at third, He
played both the outfield and in
field in college and also pitched
occasionally.
Hall's work at the bat has been
particularly impressive. In his
three years of college baseball he
batted .464.
VERO BEACH, Fla., March 19.—
(AP)—Walt Fiala, Brooklyn own
ed infielder, is the hard luck guy
of the Dodger camp.
Fiala, a member of the Mon

ped out of his car it burst into
flames. The car and his clothing
were destroyed. Last year Fiala’s
wallet containing S2OO was stolen,
PASADENA, Calif,, March 19.—
