Gene Kelley one hitter and un
tie a 1 all count. Big Abe “Tater
Masher” Brock cleared the
Brighton Centerfield 365 wall
with plenty to spare in the up
per seventh as ‘Bad Eye” Lind
say was stingy in the close spots
keeping 8 hits for Trion well
scattered.
Several of Mgr. Carlton
Strange’s boys found the range
often and for distance as S’ville
put a dent in Daltons No. 3 spot
of the North Georgia City Lea
gue while Johnny Nelson only
loosened- in the fifth behind a
good lead to allow 3 hits a walk
and the only 2 runs the Macs
could salvage.
With the fourth inning as the
explosion time S’ville poured
over 4 runs after one in the
first and second with Jack Bry
ants 4 ply punch clearing the
Centerfield fence as the main
event.
Jim Ed Cavin pounding like
inad had 3 doubles and a single
to lead a 14 hit barrage as
promising shortstopper Joe
Dacus beat out 3 singles. Sewell
Cash pushed Ist basing Cavin
on the hard hitting with a
double and two singles as John
ny Nelson pushed his own ef
forts with 2 safe blows.
Paul Silvers and "Rabbit"
Jackson had one good punch
each to help in their seventh
League win and first for the
second half. Seven Dalton hits
in all did no more damage af
ter the big sth frame.

For County Championship
Breaking the 4th programs in
half plus being spiked by classy
field events Trion easily follow
ed sweet singing Wayne Groce
14 to 2 in an afternoon of the
hottest weather obtainable then
got all the breaks to beat John
ny Nelsons very good pitching
job by 6 to 5 on the after dark
game.
Summerville touched Big Dee
Millican more freely than any
of our opposition in two seasons
to collect 12 hits and sport a
5-2 lead going into the Bth. Here
it was just tough luck as 2
summary errors not charged in
the score changed the complex
ion as Trion followed up on 4
hits a fielder’s choice and a
sacrifice hit to push in 4 runs
and finally make it 6 to 5.
In the two games Paul Silvers
was practically indestructable
with the bludgeon for S’ville as
the big right fielder got 6 singles
and a double In nine times up.
Trion banged three pitchers
In the afternoon for 20 hits as
neither Clebo Jackson, Ji m
Cavin or Joe Dacus could stem
the flow while Groce well scat
tered 10 hits across 5 innnigs.
Leon Hardeman Trion 2nd
sacker figured prominently in 2
freakish plays for the day as a

NEED NURSES
The two Veterans Administra

and Atlanta VA Hospital on
Peachtree Road, —both are fac
ing a serious shortage of nurses
VA reported today.

staffs.
Recent graduates of accredit

with pay, each year. Quarters
are available in nurses homes at
both hospitals for those who
wish them, although VA nurses
are not required to live on the
hospital grounds.
VA nurses work a five day,
forty hour week and have the
advantage of Civil Service re
tirement, although they are not
otherwise affected by Civil Serv
ice regulations.
Both managers urged nurses
who are interested in joining
VA’s staff to contact either hos
pital at once. Full details may
be obtained by calling the Chief
