one year of professional ball with
the New York Yankees of the Na

League, and a fourth game scheduled for Whitehall was
rained out. .
Winterville knocked Barberville
out of first place in a wild, rain-l
soaked game at Winterville win- |
ning the game 10-3. Barberville
pitcher, Junior Collie was a victim
of poor fielding support by his
teammates in the first inning ofl
play, when the home team pushed |
across seven runs. Charles Cheek, |
Weyman Hanson, and Bub Fouche |
followed Collie to the mound to no
avail, Jerry Davis was behind the
plate for the visitors. Donald Cris
swell pitched himself a fine ball
game, and except for errors he
might have had a shutout. Travis '
Westbrook was his catcher. Charlie ,
Coil turne in a fine game from his ‘
shortstop position, for Winterville.
J. B. Rugrk went on another
hitting rampage up in Diamond
Hill leading Farmington to a 6-2
win over the local club there. The
visiting catcher got a home run
and a double to lead the Farming
ton batters., Harvey went all the
way to rack up his second win of
the season. Paul Duncan started
for Diamond Hill and was relieved
in the sixth inning by Knox Grif
feth. Mize was behind the plate.
! Doyle Hardeman got two for three
for the home club.
. Oglethorpe County came up
with its second win over the week
end beating the hard luck Comer
team 9-7 down in Lexington. This
marks the third straight game
Comer team has lost by two runs
or less. Nicholson was leading
Whitehall 2-0 in the forth inning
ing team titlist and- winner of the
last three National Collegiate team

The Atlanta Crackers, with a
doubleheader victory, completed
their first all-victorious series in
Nashville yesterday in more than
10 years and won their second
series by any margin in Nashville
since 1946.
Atlanta defeated the Vols 6-2
and 7-4 in the Southern Associa
tion for victories No. 4. and 5 in a
row. The losses were Nashville’s
third and fourth in succession.
Two rookie pitchers did their
jobs like veterans and got heavy
hitting support. Carlton Willey
and Bill Currie each gave nine
hits and spaced them where no
serious damage resulted. During
the fourgame series Atlanta in
fielder Harry Hanebrink got nine
hits in 16 times at bat and Howard
Boles got 7 in 14.
The victories boosted Atlanta
into the first division and into
a tie with Chattanooga for third
place. Chattanooga divided a twin
bill with Birmingham, losing the
first 7-6 and taking the late game,
8-7. Mobile moved two games in
front of the race by defeating
Memphis 5-4. Little Rock and New
Orleans also split-New Orleans
winning the opener 3-1 and losing
the final game 1-0.

Bosom buddies Art Houtteman and Ted Gray have put

The Tigers still are on the
fringe of last place in the Ameri

folks of Defroit don’t expect them
to hover in that vicinity long.
Detroit’s resurgence began be

dressing room at Chicago’s Comis

The Tigers, smarting from eight
straight defeats, were reported to
be at odds with Manager Red
Rolfe and on the verge of mutiny.
Fred Hutchinson, veteran pitch
er and player. representative,
called the players together for a
conference and chased Rolfe out
of the room. The result was a
rousing vote of confidence for
Rolfe.
Houtteman and Gray have dem
onstrated emphatically that the
Tigers meant what they said.
