Several athletes have been
named to the All-Star squads

day night, August 6, also at 8.
This year’s clinic is expected to
be one of the top promotions in
the history of the GACA, accord
ing to -Mr. McGinity. It will be
the first year that two all-star
football games will be staged, and
the expectation is that one of the
largest attendances in the clinic
history will be on hand.
Some of the south’s top athletic
coaches will be featured in the
clinic, among them Johnny Mauer,
formerly of Tennessee, and Army

In addition, the university sug

Lewis Leads Ladie
Tomb 10-1
Over Tomboys,
BY “DRIFTY” DRIFTMIER
Sarah Lewis, Athens’ fireballing softhall pitcher for the
Lorelei Ladies, struck out eight batters and allowed only
five hits in leading her famous teammates to a 10-1 drub
bing of the Atlanta Tomboys before several hundred spir
ited fans on Legion Field Friday night. & :
Miss Lewigs showed good con
trol in setting the Atlanta gals
down with one run. She issued no
walks and only once did she mis
cue by hitting an opposing batter
with a wild pitch.
Abbott Out
Perhaps one reason for the un
expected large margin of victory
could be credited to the absence in
the Tomboy lineup of their star
pitcher, Ethel Abbotz. Miss Ab
bott sprained her ankle in a game
the night before and was unable
to take-the mound. Jeanelle Tol
bert started on the mound for the
losers but was relieved in the sixth
by Daisy Mae Quinn. Tolbert was
charged with the loss. Miss Lewis
went the route for the Lorelleis.
The two teams took the field in
trim outfits that added to the
colorful and flashy play of the At
lanta gals. The Loreleis wore
black and orange, the Tomboys
blue and white. But good afpear
ances didn’t hinder the ballplay
ing. From the time the umpire
called “play ball” the girls went
all out to win—stealing bases,
speeding after hot grounders, slid
ing home—even an occasional ar
gument with the umpire. But the
entire game was played cleanly
and fairly.
One of the highlights of the
game was the hustling and pep
pery play of the Lorelei second
Crackerland Golfing

The first annual Crackerland Golf Tournament sponsor
ed by the Athens Country Club will be held on the beauti

day, August 2-3. Qualifiers for the championship flight of
the local links contest will tee off early Saturday morning
with the first round starting in the afternoon. L
Entries for the two days affair
have already started coming in to
tournament director, Howell Hol
lis, and a field of between ninety
and a hundred of the section’s fin
est golfers is expected to match
strokes with ole man par.
Heading the list of definite start
ers will be former Georgia State
champion Frank Mulherin of Au
gusta. Other than Mulherin and a
host of other par-breaking sou
thern greats will be a large turn
out of local hopefuls.
The second round will be played
Sunday morning with the finalists
teeing off early in the afternoon.
The tournament wil be divided into
flights of eight golfers each, and as
many flights will be posted as
needed to take care of the entries.
Practice rounds may begin after
the entrance fee of five dollars has
been registered.
A dance will be held in the love=-

all tournament participants and
their dates admitted free. An ad-‘

which will take place Saturday
night,” will feature a light buffet
supper at 12 o’clock. The locker
room wil furnish refreshments in
the early evening from five to se
ven.
The whole affair has been in the
baseman, pert and pretty Francis
Wallace. Although committing two
errors, the saucy little keystone
lass made up for it with one
handed snags of line drives and
running catches of high pop-ups.
She was the middle member of the
only double play of the ball game.
Several times during the seven
inning class the diamond-queens
came through with doubles and
triples. Five of the thirteen base
clouts were for extra bases. Thel
ma Mattox, veteran third-sacker
who has been with the Ladies
since their inception 11 years ago,
slammed a double and a single in
four trips to the plate to -share
hitting honors with Erlene House,
who belted a triple and a single to
push across two of her team’s
runs.
Large Crowd
The Lorelei Ladies and the
Tomboys, coached by Hollie Lough

ever assembled on Legion field

One More Day
With one more day of competi
tion left on the brickdust track of
the Olympic stadium, six world
records already have been ex
ceeded and 23 Olympic records
broken in women’s track and

In each of the distance races
‘run so far-—the 10,000 meters, the
5,000 meters, and 3,000 meter ‘
steeplechase and the 1,500 meters
—the first six finishers all have
been under the previous Olympic
records.
In one of the greatest surprises, |
almost matching Horace Ashen-'
felter’s record-smashing trmmph’
in the steeplechase yesterday, |
young Bob McMillen of Occiden- |
tal College in Los Angeles ran |
second to Barthel and matched the |
winner’s record time of 3:45.2. It
was the best performance ever i
turned in by an American at this |
distance.
The first six all surpassed the‘
listed Qlympic record of 3:47.8 |
made by Jack Lovelock of I\ewl

Galina Zybina threw the shot |
50 feet 2.58 inches to win another
Olympic gold medal for Russia
which is far ahead of the United |

though it has scored compara

broke the world record of 49 feet
3.35 inches and the Olympic mark
of 45 feet 1.33 inches.
In the nnly other track final to

won her second Olympic title but
failed to match her world record

AUGUSTA, Ga., July 26—(AP)
—Arnold Blum of Macon today
became the first golfer ever to
win the Georgia Amateur title
three times in a row by humbling
Alfred Gallagher of Augusta, 10
and 9, in the scheduled 36-hole
finals.
The Macon sharpshooter, who
annexed his fourth state cham
pionship, was away to a five up
bulge after the first nine holes. He
increased this to 7-up after 18
and never eased the pressure on
his 20-year-old opponent during
the afternoon.
Blum’s victory margin was one
of the widest in the tournament’s
39-year history. One of the biggest
previous edges was in the 1949
finals at Radium Springs, where
Jack Key, Jr., of Columbus
trounced Billy Dynamite Goodloe
of Valdosta, 10 and 8.
Cpl. Gallagher, a tournament
darkhorse stationed with the Air
Force at nearby Camp Gordon,
reached the payoff round with a
2 and 1 victory over Norrie Wright
of Dublin.
Blum raced through the field
with ease until yesterday’s semi
finals, when he had to go 20
holes before subduing Larry Mc-
