BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
Strike three, you're out! That familiar phrase rang out
seventeen times in the ears of cheering Municipal fans

shutout the previously unbeaten DeMolays, 12-0, on three
hits while just missing the Municipal League strikeout
record of eighteen. - : . o

Allen not only turned in a bril
liant performance on the mound
but also led his team at the plate
with three hits in four trips. Ga
brielson banged out a pair of hits
in his four trips. Lord started
things rolling for the victors in
the very first inning with a three
run homer.

THE BANNER-HERALD, r THENS, GEORGIA
Wendal Wilson, league president..
For the first time since the or
ganization of the league some four
years ago there will be no
Shaughnessy playoff to decide the
champions. Instead the winner of
the competition between the win
ners of the two halves will auto
matically become the league
champion.
Bogart won the first half with
a record of 15 wins and only three
losses and Commerce was declared
winner of the second half this
week by virtue of their lead over
all other competing teams during
the second half,
In announcing the playoff Pres
ident Wilson said that he expects
The great performance of Cape
against the league lieading De-
Molays turned out to have some
what of an ironical twist. His
opposing pitcher, Dickie Saye,
was the man who set that strike
out record of eighteen in a first
half game against Sam Smith.
But Saye just didn’t have it last [
night. The James boys slapped
him with five hits and six runs
in the first inning and then added
enough in later innings to run up
a final total of thirteen base
knocks and twelve runs off the
DeMolay hurler. Saye struckout
six and walked two.
But as far as the Municipal fans
were concerned, it was “Uke Cape |
Night”. The James speedballer
shackled the losers from the first
frame when he struck out the first
two batters until the final top
of the seventh when he fanned the
last three men. At one time dur
ing the trouncing, Cape retired
six men in order on strikes. He
faced only twenty-four DeMolays
with his assortment of fastballs,
curves; and drops and allowed
only one man to get as far as third
base. It was victory No. 2 for Cape
in the second half.
The Charlie James pitcher even
proved red-hot at the plate, knock- |
ing in three runs on a triple and
two singles. Only three of the
James nine failed to get a hit. For
rest Hines handled his share of the
hitting power by pasting the ball|
safely three times in four trips
to the plate. Bill Condon beltedl
two doubles to push three more‘
James runners across the plate.i
George Upchurch, Charles Fla- |
nagan, and Johnny Short were
the three DeMolays who were
able to touch Uke for base hits.
when the next batter struck out.
It was the first defeat for Dickie
Saye in the last half of play. He
had previously racked up five
straight without a setback. The
DeMolays still maintain their first
place position in the league stand
ings while Charlie James moves
into second place with a 3-3, won,
lost column. Tonight there will
be no action on Legion Field but
play will resume Monday when
Sam Smith clashes with the Am- |
vets. !
!
There are three Norwegian and |
‘three Russian settlements on Vest |
[Spitsbergen, largest island of the .
Spitsbergen archipelago. |
s |
it to be the best run playoff in
the history of the league. Three
top~flight umpires have been se
cured to run the series and the
games will be entirely in their
hands, Mr. Wilson said. Wilbur
Paul and Fred Kidd who have
worked games all through the sea
son will be on hand for tonight's
meeting and they will be joined
by Roy Parr for tomorrow night’s
game. Paul will call balls and
strikes tonight and Kidd wil be
on the base paths.
Tonight's opener will see both
teams starting their top batteries
wih Bogart depending on Avery
‘Harvin and Harold Leifiz, and
Commerce giving the nod to Dil
lard Hogswood and Winfred Wil
son. Both starting hurlers have
been mainstays during this sea
son.
Tomorrow night's starters will
probably be Pat Sims for Bogart
and Al Hix for Commerce. Leif
itz will again complete the Bogart
battery and Manager Pete Davis
will probably handle the back
stopping duties for Commerce.
Admission to all playoff games
will be 50 cents for adults and 25
cents for children.
Stevenson
In Southern
Semi-Finals
- KNOXV@LLE, Tenn. (AP) — A
lcouple of youngsters just out of
.their teens and two golfing veter
‘ans battle it oyt today in the 36-
‘hole semi-finals of the Southern
i Amateur golf tournament.
~ Pitted against each other are:
Frank Stevenson, Jr., 20-year-old
University of Georgia golfer of Sa
vannah, and Gay Brewer Jr., 20-
year-old Kentucky State champion
of Lexington.
. Bob Sulzer, 45, Atlanta printers’
ink dealer, and Vernon Thwaites,
32, the first Knoxvillian ever to
‘ reach the semi-finals of the South
ern.
Stevenson became the favorite
\to win the championship after
Sulzer, who qualified for the event
this year for the first time, knock
ed out defending champion Arnold
'Blum of Macon, Ga., 4 and 3, in
‘the quarter-finals. Sulzer is a for
'mer Atlanta champion, and in 1941
won the Baltimore title.
No. 1 man on the Georgia team,
Stevenson reached the semi-finals
with a 2 and 1 victory over Curtis
Person of Memphis.
Thwaites, Knoxville city cham
pion in 1948, eliminated Charles
B. Smith of Gastonia, N. C., 1 up
yesterday in a gruelling 23-hole
mateh, longest of the tournament.
Brewer was pushed to 20 holes
before downing Dick Collord of
New Orleans.
A 38-year-old jinx caught up
with Blum yesterday to knock him
out of the competition.

Lookouts Win
But Crackers
Victorious Too
Chattanooga may have just what
baseball impresario Joe Engle
claims for it: a Southern Associa
tion pennant winner.
Last night the Lookouts whipped
Nashville, 4-3, for their gixth vic
tory in a row and their 10th vie
tory in 15 games this month,
The way Cal Ermer's club is
clicking suggests that this outfit
in Chattanooga’s best sinca 1939,
when Engel's club won the pen-~
nant. Since then the Lookouts
have been in the second division
~ix seasons. They finished last in
1951,
The winning run was scored last
night by Hank DiJohnson, coming
all the way from second in a rush
to bowl over Phil Tomkinson.
Tomkinson dropped the ball in the
collision and DiJohnson got reve
nge for an earlier game when the
same Tomkinson blocked him off
at the plate.
Chattanooga’s victory eontinues
the hot competition for first place;
Atlanta—co-holder of first—also
won. The Crackers whipped Bir
mingham 5-1. New Orleang slip
ped another half game back; a
scheduled game with Mobile was
rained out. New Orleans now
trails by a full game.
Birmingham has failed to show
the power necessary to whip a top
flight club during the past two
games. The Barons have scored
only twice in 48 hours.
Little Rock won the opener from
Memphis, 3-1, on Ken Humphrey's
homer. Little Rock’s Ernie Funk
walked in the trying run in the
ninth and passed the first man up
in the 10th to set up the winning
tally for Memphis in the second
game. The score was 7-6,,
