Giants Back On Victory Trail:
Cardinals, Yankees, Tribe Win
CINCINNATI, July 12.—(AP)—The New York Giants, who had lost six of their last
eight games, today picked on their favorite National League opponent—the Cincinnati
Reds—for a 5 to 3 victory, although they were weakening at the finish. It was New
York’s 11th triumph in 12 games with Cincinnati this season.
Max Lanier, who had a string
of 22 2-3 scoreless innings broken
by Andy Scminick’s home run in
the second frame, had a neat five
hitter going into the ninth. The
Reds got to him for a pair of
runs, however, on a single and Joe
Adcock’s 11th home run. Hoyt
Wilhelm stifled the Redleg rally.
The Giants got only eight hits,
all of them off starter Bubba
Church, but they spaced thenr
perfectly with walks, hit batsmen
and one Cincinnati error to ac
count for their five runs.
Senators Top Chisox
A disastrous error by shortstop
Sam Dente led to two Washington
runs an denabled the Senators to
edge the Chicago White Sox, 2-1.

Chicago’s run with his 14th homer

Patterson Leads ASC To Crackerland Victory
Ol ics Ready For
Opening Next Week
HELSINKI, July 12.— (AP) —The 1952 Dlympic games
open one week from today before 70,000 spectators, bring
ing the first full scale athletic clash between Soviet Russia
and the rest of the world.
Whateve: may be the political
an] econom=c differences between
Russia and the United States,
however, there has been unprece
dented fraternizing between thir
athletes.
Russian and American rowing
crews even exchanged boats. Al
most from the first the Russian
policy here has been “palsy”—-'
obviously dictated from the high
est Russian government level.
Russian and the United States
haye the two biggest teams among
the 69 nations entered. In all, |
6,500 athletes will compete in the !
games of the fifteenth Olympiad, !
making them the biggest ever.
U. S. Flag Raising l
The United States flag was for
mally hoisted at noon at the “Free
World” Olympic village of Kaepy
lae after 327 American athletes
and their 100 officials paraded.
At almost the same time the main
contingent of the Russian team
arrived at the “Iron Curtain” vil
lage of Otaniemi, eight miles
away.
The Russians—22o men and 40
women — came in a luxury train
with a big rerx star on its green
locomotive.
No action was taken today on
the main issue of contention in
these games. The Olympic Execu
tive Committee decided to refer to
the full international committee,
without recommendation, the
problem of Germany and China.
Both Red and Nationalist China
are seeking to compete here and
both have been refused. West
Germany’s team has been accept
ed, but East Germany has declined
to participate.
Friendly Russians
Russian athletes, wearing blue
sweat suits, moved freely about
Helsinki and appeared to go out
of their way to be friendly.
The rowing course on Drumsoie
Fjord was the scene of much Frat
ernizing between Russians and
Americans. The Soviets ‘lent the
Americans a scull, and invited
Russell Rusty Callow, head coach
at Annapolis, to ride their launch.
A new injury cropped up to
plague the American track team.

Lumpzin Finishes With 302; T akes
Second In Jaycee Golf Tournament
Jacfi‘é‘imfikin, Athens junior gclf pride, finished in second
place at the East Lake Couniry Club in Atlania Friday afternoon
in the State Jaycee go!f tournament, and thus earned the r cht to
compete in the national tourney, to be held in Eugene, Oreson,
next menth.
Lumpkin, who started strong with an opening round 72 and
then soared to 80 in the second, finished with 74-76 in Friday's
grueling 3€-hole finishing play for a total of 302, which was a
lone stroke cff the pace set by the winner, Larry Moore, of Moul
trie, who carded a 72-hole score of 301.
Lumpkin finished before Moore and had already posied his
score, when the Moultrie lad came dangerously close to defeat, as
he bogeyed the final two holes.
Lumpkin has been Athens High’s golfer for the past couple of
years, and won the State Class A high school tourney in 1951. He
will be a senior in high school next year.
A handsome trophy was awarded to Jack, along with the ex
pense-paid trip to Eugene which went to the four winners in the
state tournament. Besides Lumpkin and Moore, Jimmy Raines,
Augusta, who finished with a 304, and Tommy Bates, of Atlanta,
who carded a 303, will journey to the Oregon city next month for
the national tourney, scheduled for August 11-16.
The keen competition, which prevailed during the entire tour
nament, was indicated by the scores of the top five finishers. Only
one stroke separated one from the other, as the first five golfers
carded scores of consecutive numbers ranging from 301-305.

Boxing To Highlight
Local Wrestling Card
The fisticuffs which developed between Tiny Oxford
and Bob Shipp on last week’s Optimist Club sponsored
wrestling card have grown during the week into the main
event show for tomorrow night’s card which will get un
derway in the old Athens High School gymnasium at 8:30.
Oxford and Shipp, who let fists
fly in last week’s preliminary
match, will meet in a ten-round,
winner take all boxing exhibition
tomorrow night as the main event
of a twin biir card.
Danny Dusek, 228-pound wrest
ler from Omaha, Nebraska, will
meet Mika Clancy, 220-pound Ca
nadian Champion, in a preliminary
wrestling bout to get the action
started.
The boxing exhibition will be
the first staged on a card this
summer and is expected to help
draw a large attendance for the
promotion which is being sponsor
ed by the Optimists to raise money
for their boys’ fund and for the
Athens High School Band.
The staging of tomorrow night’s
boxing show is the result of Ox
ford’s challenge to Shipp last week
following Shipp’s win in their two
out of three fall match. Shipp was
awarded the third fall by Referee
Red Dugan, who disqualified Ox
ford for using his fist, not only on
his opponent, but the referee as
well.
Oxford contended that Shipp
had been using fists all during the
match, and challenged him to
bring out the gloves. The event
created quile a scene as local
backers of Oxford, who has be
come quite a favorite of local fans,
attempted to have the boxing
match staged then and there, but
action on the part of Optimist
President Henry Keller quieted
the aroused crowd, and set the
stage for this week.
The match between these two
should be a pretty even affair
PAGE THIRTEEN
with Shipp naving only a slight
height and weight edge, Oxford
‘will enter the contest at 212
pounds, while Shlpg will weigh
218. Oxford has exhibited remark
able speed in the wrestling match
es that he has performed in so far
this season and will use this to
take the edge off the ten-round
affair,
Tickets for tomorrow mnight'’s
card are on sale at the Bulldog
Bowling Alley, the Varsity, Econ
omy Auto Stores, and Bush Jew=
elers, or they may be purchased at
the gate. Prices for the action to
morrow night wiill be SI.OO for
