year in Yankee Stadium a winning one today as the New York Yankees defeated Chi-
Caon 4.9 to extend the sageing White Sox’ losing streak to six games. :

forced to retire after seven in

time the Yanks had the decision
locked up.
Billy Pierce, White Sox ace,
suffered his fifth defeat at the
hands of the Yanks and it was the
Sox’ seventh straight loss in the
Stadium.
CLEVELAND TOPS BOSTON
Backed by a 12-hit attack that
included rookie Bill Glynn’s first

to move the Cleveland Indians to
within a single percentage point
of second place.
‘The Indians clinched nratters
against starter Sid Hudson in the
fourth inning by scoring on singles
by Joe Tipton and Dale Mitchell,

Indians set off a three-run rally

Piersall Quits
Indefinitely On
Medical Advice
BOSTON, July 19.—(AP)—Jim
Piersall, the Boston Red Sox
owned eccentric outfielder, today
agreed to follow medical advice
and retire from baseball for an
indefinite period.
' Shortly eiter General Manager
| Joe Cronin announced the contro
‘versial rooxie’s decision, the man
~agement of the Birminghamr Sou
'thern Association club indicated
|tha\t Piersall would be placed on
its disabled iist tomorrow when his
.three day suspension for umpire
baiting ends.
! “After consultation and advice
of doctors, Piersall is going to
‘take ‘a rest,” Cronin explained,
“The ball club is interested in
Piersall himself, not in where he
plays or what position he plays.
I'm sorry I cannot elaborate on the
‘subject.”
Piersall made an impressive
start with the Red Sox this season
but his antics on and off the field
so unnerved Manager Lou Boud
reau that he pleaded with Cronin
to send him cut for the good of the
club. :
Before learning of the medical
report, Cronin had indicated. that
Piersall’s hopes of rejoining the
Red Sox at this time were merely
wishful thinking.
“Piersall belongs to Birmingham
and we have no intention of re
calling him,” Cronin said after he
had had a lengthy confidential
discussion with the excitable Wa
terbury,. Conn., young father, rat
ed by many experts as an out
standing major league prospect,
despite his many idiosyncrasies.

Torch Lighting Opens Olympics
BY TED SMITS
HELSINKI, July 19.—
(AP) — The 1952 Olympic
games opened today in sod
den splendor before 70,000
spectators who cheered
wildly for the big Scandinav
ian and American teams but
greeted Soviet Russia’s first
appearance. with only polite
applause. '
One unscheduled incident
marked the rain-saturated, solemn
ceremony, A shapely woman in a
flowing white robe tried to get the
loud speaker on the central dais
tc harangue the crowd but was
hustled away by police.
Pavo Nurmi, Finland’s immor
tal distance runner of the 1920’5,
wearing the pale blue and white
uniform he made famous, carried
in the Olympic torch set ablaze on
sacred Mount Olympus.
Hans Kolehmainen, another
Finnish Olympic champion, lit the
flame atop the 24-story stadium
tower, where it will burn through
out the games. ‘
57 Biggest Ever ;
This set of games is the biggest
ever, with 5,870 athletes compe
ting. Soviet Russia is taking part
for the first time, and Germany
and Japan are returning after a
war absence.
For an hour and ten minutes,
9,000 athletes and officials from
69 nations paraded around the
brick red running track, their
jackets clinging limply to their
husky frames. They churned the
cinder surface into muck. Tomor
‘row the actual competition starts
on a running track which appa
rently has been damaged.
Red China, although admitted
to the competition, was not in the
parade.
J. Lyman Bingham, executive
director of the American Olympic
team, said he understood the
woman in white was trying to
make a “peace” demonstration,
Her robe was an imitation of
ancient Greek attire. She ran
swiftly to the speaker’s stand at
the edge of the track facing "the
official box.
A hush came over the crowd.
Officials were aghast.
“Friends of mine,”#she said in
German. ;
An official tugged at her but
she clung to the railing.
“Ladies and gentlemen,”” she
shouted in English. Then police
hustled her away.
Seeking Audience
She was taken to a nearby po
lice station for questioning. Fin
nish press officials identified her;
as a West German student, Bar

Lorelei Ladies Meet Tomboys
Here In Exhibition Game Friday
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
Thgre's a new kind of curve to be seen on Legion Field this season, and we don’t mean
the kind tossed by crafty lefthanders. These curves are important parts of the cham
pionship form of the lassies who play for two great Southern women’s softball teams
out of Atlanta, the Atlanta Tomboys and the nationally famous Lorelei Ladies.
Pitching for the Lorelei Ladies
will be Athens own Sarah Lewis,
a former Athens High basketball
great and a veteran with the
Ladies for several years. She is
rated one of the nation’s top wo
men softball hurlers and has pit
ched the Loreleis to 3 State Cham
pionships.
Miss Lewis’ mound opponent
will probably be the Tomboys’
very fine pitching performer,
Ethel AbLbott. Miss Abbott was
selected on the All-Regional team
in 1948 and 1951, and was hon
orable mention All-American_bas
ketball player.
Yes suh, son, if you’all want
some fast action with a touch of
color, make plans to bring your
family down to Legion Field next
Friday night and chances are
you'll find a bevy of gals proving
that the guy who called women
the Weaker Sex never saw one
come sliding into second with
spikes flying.
In a game that will start at 8 p.
m. under the arc - lights' local
softball tnthusists will be able
to watch what are probably the
two most widely publicized top
womens teams in female softball
circles in the country.
It will be the first time that
these two colorful teams have
made an appearance in Athens
and so local fans will view for the
here two days ago and tried to
get an audience with the presi
dent of Finland. They said she
was trying to do the same today.
Only a few minutes before the
sutbreak, the president, Juho K.
Paasikivi, spoke the simple phrase
that set the games in motion:
“I declare the 15th Olympic
games at Helsinki open.”
The Olympic hymn was sung,
3,500 homing pigeons from Swe
den and Denmark soared up, and
artillery outside the stadium fired
a 21-gun salute.
All day it rained — cold, wet,
and miserable. But every seat in
the trim, modernistic stadium was
taken.
Blue jackets and gray trousers
and skirts predominated in the
parade. This was the attire of the
big American team that trudged
along, its white shoes splattered
with mud. Norman C. Armitage,
New York fencer whose Olympic
competition began in 1928, car
ried the Stars and Stripes.

Brundage, newly elected president

mittee.
Official Opening s
Although this was the official
opening of the games, actually
competition has beén under way
all week in soccer, basketball, and
field hockey because of the bulki
ness of the field,
Tomorrow competition starts in
track and field—the central sport
of the ancient games. Finals will
be held in the high jump, 10,000-
meter run, and women’s discus.
Preliminaries start in the 100-
meter dash, 800-meter run, and
400-meter hurdles.
Competition started in gymnas
tics today, and tomorrow it also
opens in ‘weight lifting, rowing,
yachting, and the modern pén
tathlon. :
Crickets Hold
League Leads
At Pine Tops
The Crickets continued to keep
their torrid pace in the Pine Tops
“y” Camp leagues as they edged
the Mohawks in both football and
softball.
The Crickets broke a 9-9 tie in
the bottom half of an extra-in
ning when Bill Bedgood got a hit
and with two away was knocked
in by Baxter Crane for the win
ning run.
Their football clash was a real
thriller, with the Crickets edging
out the Mohawks, 13-12. Dick
Ferguson passed to Buzzer Howell
for a touchdown and an extra
point and Ken Kelley intercepted
a pass and scored for the winners.
For the losers, Ray Danner passed
for one TD to Tom Middlebrooks
and ran for another.
The Jalopies routed the Noodles,
10-3 in softball, and rocked them
on the gridiron, 19-6. Jeff Mills
was the individual star as he pas
sed for two touchdowns and an
extra point and ran for another
TD. Mills’ pair of touchdown tos
ses were to Bobby Basham. Billy
Nunnally flipped a touchdown pass
to Jimmy Allman for the Noodles’
lone tally.
In a senior division baseball
game yesterday, Tommy Milner’s
Monsters humbled the Ikes, cap
tained by David Inglis, 29-5. Barry
Wenzel led the winners’ 16 hit
attack with three safties. Jeff
Mills and Felton Jenkins added
two each to the Monsters’ total.
The Ikes’ hitting, was scattered
throughout their lineup with Buz

getting one hit.

Perhaps the greatest of the two
bevies of queens is the Lorelei
Ladies. These good looking mem
bers of the opposite sex have held
the spotlight of National softball
for ovir ten years, and are still
going, strong. These queens of the
powder-puff ranks of softball were
Atlanta Metropolitan Champions
twice, are twelve time city
champs, have annexed the state
crown four years, have played in
three National Tournaments, and
participated in the 1950 Worlgd's
Tournament in Phoenix, Arizona
(finishing third and winning the
Sportsmanship award). This re
cord was compiled from 1939 to
1950 (’sl results not available).
The Lorelei Ladies—appropri
ately mamed for the dangerous
mermaids of the Rhine River, who
would lure sailors off their course
and wreck their ships on the rug
ged rocks of the Rhine—are pro
bably the most publicized amateur
team in the world. The girls have
received fan mail from all over
the world—Canada, Rome, Italy,
London, England; including mail
from over the entire United States.
They have been featured by
World Wide Photo and Associa
ted Press for the past seven years.
The ‘Ladies’ are a rugged team.
It is “never say die” until the last
batter slugs the last ball. Their
teamwork, their love of ball, their
skill with bat and ball and theix“
love of a good game well played,
are perhaps the leading factors
that have made them a world
known team.
The Atlanta lovelies, managed |
by Hollie Lough and sponsored by |
Jack Briscoe’s Kaiser-Fraiser, Inc.,
take the ball playing as a sideline.
Every girl on the team has a job, |
ranging from typing to house
keeping. They do their training and ;
playing during off hours. Not a
girl on the Lorelei team has ever |
received any remuneration for :
playing softball. They play for the |
love of the game, for pleasure and |
physical, mental and social bene-l
fits. And so it is with the Atlanta
Tomboys also. (
