til of these count well for the Blues. It means that they’re playing
I fcidi-up baseball and fighting hard in every game.
I Despite the fact that in team fielding the Blues are resting just out
I s ; the cellar, we've notced a vast amount of improvement in the tielding
I jj, e c i u b during the last week. Exchange of places by Manager Butts and
f julph Osborne seems to have had good effect for in two games the Blues
I j., ve played errorless ball and have made only one or two mistakes in
I the other games. In the early part of the season, the MilledgeviUe infield
i;k<- a seive and accounted for the loss of several games but now,
I a change or two here and there, this same infield has found itself
I and is pt»y in h r ffreat ball. __
e also glad to *ee that the local club has plenty of spirit, for
without spirit or “pep” a ball club can't succeed. Wally Butts knows this
ard keeps his boys “talking it up" all the timet
Everything now points to the fact that before the week is out the
Blues should be leading the league. MilledgeviUe had the heaviest hitting
i team in the circuit and a fine group of pitchers so what to keep them

team. Tiis tumament is played in
foursomes and i|i known aa a best
ball match, each match being play
ed for three points. The team which
is defeated is to give the winner^ a
banquet to be held at the club. This
tournament is creating city-wide
interest as all the golfers of the club
are entered. Good golf is being dis
played by both teams and a large
gallery is to be found on the links
each afternoon.
The tournament will come to a
close Sunday afternoon.

MAXIE vs. MAXIE
Thijj infant scribe is taking it up-
(3 himself to say a few words about
I tie pug'listic • ncounter tonight
n Max Scl meling and Max Baer
I at the Yankee Staditom, New York.
The question seems to be, can the
I Hebrew Hcrculea from sunny CaL,
I put the bee on Max Schmeling,
I farmer heavyweight champ, and pride
of Germany? Baer, built aU the way
from the floor up for fighting and
with a form that has more move
ments than an Elgin watch, is going
to have trouble in coping with the
| arre.-.'iveness of Schmettng. Herr
Marie, a man made for a fifteen
bout, takes it upon himself to be
the aggressor in every round. He
wears his oponents down. Ask Willie
Stribling and Jack Sharkey, they
know. Again the question, what can
'he Livermore Laurruper do with
this style of fighting? Our idea is
that Baer, a boy with a love for
J he bright lights and little regard
for training, will find the steady
plodding Schmeling too big a dose
and will wilt inside of twelve can
tos; however, every man has a right
to his own opinion, so what do you
HAIL TO GEORGIA
It made our soal swell with pride
when we learned that with the
quisition of his last three players,
manager Wally Butts now has five
University of Georgia men
team. When the Blues took the field
Tuesday against the Columbus Lee-
berns, five of the nine players hailed
from dear old U. G. A. Leroy More-
head, catch; Cy Grant, 3rd base;
Treadavfay, short stop; Benny Roth
stein 1st base; Jordan Ennis left field
comprised the list. All of theiie boys
are excellent ball players and it
speaks well for Bill White, Georgia
baseball coach, to have so many
players who have been under his
tutelage, playing fn a league as fast
as the Georgia State. Several other
teams of the loop also have Georgia!
players on their rosters and all are,
plnying go.d ball. Bill White haa,
al- o sent a number of players
big leagues; yet, in spite of the fact
that during his thirteen year stay ii
Athens town he has produced a sue
cessful team each year, he has been
given his walking papers by the Uni-
varsity officials. We certainly hope
that the protestations on the part
of the student body will be effective
and Bill White’s contract will be
newed.
ALLEN'S SANITARIUM
DEFEATS MER1WEATHER
The Allen Sanatarium baseball
team defeated the Meriwether club
14-12 in a slugging bee last week.
The game was featured from start
to finish by heavy hitting on the
part of both teams with Bazanos for
Allen’s and Copeland for the Meri
wether club having the best day
at the plate. Bazanos hit the only
home-run of the game in the fifth
inning. Batteries for the Allen boys
were Bazanos and Johnson, for
Meriwether. Martin an dCopeland.
The two teams will meet again in
the near future.
Farm Agent Langley secured an
order for two hundred friers Satur
day from Athens. He says friers are
in demand.

BASEBAIA REVIEW
The Blues ended their week's play
»ith an even .500 average, winning
two and losing two games. Starting
off with a bang, the local club de-
fc»tcd Barnesville handfly, 16-4. On
Friday the two teams went to
Barnesville where MilledgeviUe was
beaten in a close game, 8-7. The fol-
lowibg day, Saturday, the Blues
defeated the Macon Peaches for the
first time this year, 6-6. Returning'
home Tuesday, the Blues were de-
ftated in the first of a two game
cries by Columbus, 15-8.
In the first game with Barnes-
'•'ille, Lefty Epps made his initial
appearance with the home club and
'" “led the Smithies lfl-4. This game
fe »tured by the heavy hitting
'he part of the MilledgeviUe team
•‘>'d steady pitching by Epps.
'•ries: MilledgeviUe, Epps and Turk;
barnesville, Hardsen, Walker, Stew-
“rt- and Craven.
Barnesville beat the Blues in
•amesville on the 2nd by the count
f 8 7 The Blues got off to an early
“d in this game, but a nineth
nning rally by the Smithies won
game. Clark was the iMtllcdge-
vi,,e Pitcher in the game and gave
good account of himself.
On Saturday the Blues went to
Macon seeking their first win over
L " e Caches. The Blues won the
_® me the seventh when Ralph
hit a home-run with two
Pn °n base to put the Mllledge-
' He club in the lead by a 6-5 count.
In the last two innings Ralph West
p, d the peaches scorelea and the
B,ue * won the game. Osborne, Rob-
’■' n . and Rothstein were the heavy
hitters for MilledgeviUe. Yarter and
‘opeko hit best for the Peaches.
a, terie«: MilledgeviUe, West and
Turk; Macon, G.U and Hunter.
MilledgeviUe lost the first of a two
, ’® me series to Columbus here Tues-
M'day 15-8. For the first time since
'' •’•eaaon began, the Blues had
' :r full strength on the field but
-teady pitching of Paul Doss, ace j
of the Columbus pitching staff, and
poor fielding, which accounted for
seven errors, on the part of the Mil-
ledgeville players caused the loss.
Grant and Treadaway, two new com
ers. hit beat for the Blues. Grant
hit for a double and a single out of
five tries, while Treadaaway collected
two singled and a home-run out of
five attempts. Brown, P^rias and
Newman were the hating stars for
the visitors. Each made three hits
with Paries hitting for the circuit
twice. Batterier: MilledgeviUe, West,
Bean. Homer and Morehead,
lunVbus, Doss and Smith.

THIRTEEN LETTERS AWARDED
G. M. C. BASEBALL TEAM
The Georgia Military College Ca
dets closed their 1933 baseball s
m with what proved to be their
first unsuccessful team in years. Ir
experience of the players proved t
he the outstanding cause of their
defeat in many games. Coaches
Rentz and Butts gathered together
a group of boys, some of whom had
never played a game before in their
lives, and developed a team which
towards the last of the seamn be
came rather formidable. Out of a
schedule of twelve games the cadets
won three and lost nine. The follow
ing boys received letters: Blood-
worth. Allen (captain); Hartman,
Cauthen, Bill: Harris, Ivey. Lee;
Ross, Geo.; Combes, Winston;
Thomas. John; Scarborugh, Ray;
Wilhite, Clayton; Troutman, Walter;
Holiday, Joe; Hattaway Thomas; and
Welch, Glyn (Mgr.); Geo. Alexander
and Steve Wright received honor-
ible mention. The bat boys of the
earn were Sibley Jennings and
George Roeah. “Cotton” Carter ac-
ted as assistant to manager Welch.
