Eipps Fires Two-Hitter
To Crush Lyndon, 16-2
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
Donald Epps, who led Sam Smith to their first half championship by hurling a 6-2
record, pitched the Smith nine to their first vietory in the second half of Municipal
p‘m\. by downing Lyndon House on two hits, 16-2.
" Only in the fifth inning was
Epps in any real trouble. Fred
Leathers smashed a line drive dou
ble over third base to knock Epps
tor the first base hit of the even
ing for the Lyndon House club.
Then with two men out, Epps
walkzed J. R. Ledford and Johnny
Clifton to-load the bases.
with a full count on the next
patter, Bobbie Jo Fuller, Epps
fired one in on the letters to send
Fuller to the bench swinging and
retire the side. The only other
hit of the game for Liyndon House
was Sidney Allen’s long drive to
right field bank in the sixth,
The losers lone two runs came
in the final inning amid shouts
for a rally. Ray Thompson and
Fred Leathers walked and scored
on Bobby Carter’s wild throw to
sc(uml.
Epps struckout six and walked
eight in chalking up his first vic
tory of the second half. On the
mound for the losers were James
Flanogan and Emerson Haygood,

loss, giving up eleven runs on
seven hits in his two inning stint.
Havgood came on in the third and
gave up four hits and five runs.
Lyndon House has acquired the
abilities of several new men in
their lineup, and from the looks of
last night’s game they are going
to be the club to watch from now
on. Johnny Clifton, Georgia base
pall player; Pinky Shirley, Uni
versity intramural star, and Tom
my Cullens, have added their tal
ents to the Lyndon House roster.
Wwillie Fowler, former Athens
High Trojan who will seek to make
his mark for the Georgia Bull
dogs next fall, blasted two singles
and a triple in five trips to the
plate to lead last night’s batting
column. Willie also figured in the

All-Star Game
Stengel Tabs Shantz
As American Starter
CHICAGO, July I.—(AP)—An American League line
up with an overall batting average of near .290 and a six
man pitching staff with a total of at least 50 wins will be
at Manager Casey Stengel’'s command to besiege the Nat
ional Leaguers in the All-Star game. ,
A poll of the nation’s baseball
fans determined all starters for
the annual classie except the pit
chers.
Stengel had full authority to
pluck his hurling corps and came
up with Vic Raschi 6-2 and Allie
Reynolds 9-4 of his own New
York Yankees; Mike Garcia 11-5
and Bob Lemon 6-7 of Cleveland;
ageless Satchel Paige 5-2, St.
Louis’ peerless relief hurler, and
Bobby Shantz of Philadelphia 13-2
the only lefty.
The mound starter probably will
be Shantz since the big game on
July 8 will be played in the amaz
ing little hurler’s own backyard,
Philadelphia’s Shibe Park.
American Sluggers
At this current batting rate,
Stengel will have eight .300 or bet
ter hitters to bombard the senior
circuit as the Americans try to
break a two-game losing streak in
the all-star series.
' These are Eddie Robinson, Chi
cago, first base .306; Al Rosen,
Cleveland, third base .322-current
A. 1. leader; Ferris Fain, Phila
delphia, first base .323; George
Kell, Boston, third base . 320;
Dale Mitchell, Cleveland, left field
.306; Dom DiMaggio, Boston,
center field .307; Jackie Jensen,
Washington, right field .318; and
Mickey Mantle, New York, center
field .300.
Out of the bunch, the fans’
choice as starters who must play
at least the first three innings un
less injury or illness intervene are
Robinson, Rosen, Mitchell and Di-
Maggio.
Other Narters
The other starters are Bobby
Avila, Cleveland, at second phil
Rizzuto, New York, shortstop;
Hank Bauer, New York, right field,
and the Yankees’ catcher, Yogi
Berra, who tops the league in
homers with 15.
Aside from these, Stengel round
ed out his squad mainly from the
order of selections in the poll
He deviated, however, in passing
up Boston Vern Stephens, third
in the voting, to name Philadel
phia’s Eddie Joost as Rizzuto's
shortstop - replacement, taking
Washington’s Ed Yost over his own
Chicago’s Hector Rodriguez, and
picking ' Jensen ahead of Cleve
land’s Hank Simpson in right field. I

Shipp, Dugan Take Tag
Team Wrestling Match
Bob Shipp and Red Dugan, one of the top tag team wrestling combinations #m the
country, continued their sweep through the South last night with a two out of three fall
main event victory over Jack Ross, jr., and Tiny Oxford on the third Athens Optimist
Club sponsored wrestling card,
Shipp and Dugan who have yet
to win as individuals in the local
series successfully combined their
talents to defeat the favorites of
local fans last night. They garner
ed their initial victory on the first
and third falls ‘of the tag team
match after losing a pair of une
fall preliminaries to Ross and Ox
ford.
Ross took the opening bout of
the three event card with an eight
minute, fifty five second pinning
of Shipp, and Oxford took the se
cond preliminary match in eleven
minutes, forty seconds when re
feree Roy Mitchel ruled that Du
gan fouled him. Ross’ victory was
accomplished with a drop kick
and body press, and gave him his
second victory of the series over
Shipp.
Shipp was responsible for his
teams first fall victory in the nin
ty minute time limit tag team vie
as he pinned Ross with a body
press in twelve minutes, forty five
seconds.
Oxford won the second fall for
his team with a twelve minute,
forty-five second pinning of Du
gan on a series of clams and a
body press. Oxford and Ross lost
the third fall.when Dugan pinned
Oxford with a toe lock in eight
minutes flat.
An increased attendance was on
hand for last night’'s matches
which were possibly the most suc
cessful yet staged by the Optimist
Club. Recently installed fans
cooled the gymnasium considerab
ly and helped to up the attendance
along with the presentation of the
first tag team match of the series.
