NEW.
ATLANTA
By KIRK MILLER

Representing an expenditure
of nearly a million dollars, the
Washington ball club has pur-
chased the real estate holdings
and baseball franchise of the
Atlanta (Southern Associa-
tion) baseball team. Joe
Engel, Washington scout, will
be president of the Atlanta
Club and continue to dig up
players for Washington.
The deal has been pending
two years, first intimation
that the Washington club was
even considering acquiring the
Glass A team being "evealed
exclusively in this NJ |spaper
a year ago last summer.
The sale is understood to trans
fer the Atlanta Southern Associa-
ton baseball team, Spiller Park, in
cluding more than nine acres OF
central Atlanta property, the Spiller
swimming pool and bathhouses,
lunchroom, concessions, and every
thing connected in any way with
the ball park.
The Atlanta Crackers, as they are
known in baseball circles, will be
used as Washington's farm, where
players will be developed for local
use. Atlanta also will become the
spring training base of the Wash
ington club, starting next spring.
President Clark Griffith and Sec
retary Eddie -ynon, together with
the clubs scout, Joe Engel, went to
Atlanta last Monday to close the
deal. and all papers will become
final as soon as they can pass
through proper baseball and real
estate channels.
The acquisition of the Atlanta
plant will bring about two important
changes in local baseball policy. 1t
means the end of farming relations
with the Birmingham Barons, also of
the Southern Association, which has
heretofore been considered Washing
ton s main baseball brooder whence
young players have been brought
1OE ISdS
1t also means that Tampa,
Fla, where the Griffmen have
been training each spring for
about ten years, will be aban-
dOned.
The local clubs contract in Tampa
expired last March, and because of
the difficulties which the Tampa
Crew, Southeastern Association team,
put in the path of the Griffmen in
the use of Plant Field, Griffith was
compelled to look elsewhere for a
Southern training base.
The real estate alone involved in
the Atlanta purchase is valued at
chise, together with the players con.
will bring the Washington clubs in
vestment close to tho seven.figure
mark. Clark Griffith said before go,
ing to Atlanta that no new stock
would be floated to carry through
the transaction.
The Atlanta club has been
owned by r.. j. Spiller, whose
siOnaire at Atlanta's many out
door recreatiOnal resorts.
Not being practical baseball man
he has had the team on the market
for several years. He approached
the Washington interests some time
ago about taking it over.
President Griffith believes Atlanta
is a good baseball town and that,
besides being an admirable base
for spring operations, it. can be
turned into a. money maker If
handled by baseball people.

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Phila-
delphia ring fans had new respect
for the prOWess of Kid Chocolate
this morning when they learned
that the sensational Cuban bantam
weight had fought Vidal Grcgorio,
of Spain, at Shibe Park last night
despite the handicap of two broken
thumbs.
Chocolate, a 4-to-1 favorite, gained
a comfortable lead on points in the
early rounds, when the fighters
stood toe-to-toe and slugged. But
the Cuban apparently "coasted" dur
ing the last three rounds of the
ten-round bout and Gregorio rallied
so strongly that many of the 10000
fans booed the decision awarding
the verdict to Chocolate.
1t was not announced until
several hours after the bout that
"The Keed" had broken both
thumbs in battering the hard
head of the Spaniard early in
the fray.
Chocolate had an edge in the In.
fighting. Gregorio landed more
blows but did not hit ais hard as his
opponent.

UNALCA QUINTET LOSES 10 ALUMS.
Speed of Has-Been For wards Large Factor
 in Nays Defeat

In game that offered much merriment to the basketball fans because of the lack of team work displayed by both sides, the Ju- neau High School Alumni quin- tet mopped up on the Unalga five 26 to 12 in the school gymnasium last evening.
 The scrap was fast and furious throughout the game but the Unal- ga boys never displayed enough stuff to give the Alums much of a scare, for the Has-Beens had few too many good players for the Navy aggregation.
 Grassy" Lowe and Jim Orme were the big guns of the offensive for the Alums. Just the opposites in size, these two forwards both showed plenty of speed and man. aged to keep under the ball good deal of the time.
 Speed of the forwards, coupled with fair passing, proved the un- doing of the Unalga five. At half time they trailed 15 to 8 and were unable to come out of their slump. The victors ran their score up II more points in the last half, while the Coast Guard was held to one field goal and two foul conversions.

Hilltoppers Trail Rivals En- tire Game to Lose
 27 to 21

After taking the lead at the out set of the game and holding it throughout the tilt by widely vari- ant margins the Juneau Fire De- partment quintet added the Hill topper's scalp to it's belt in the high school gymnasium last night, to remain undefeated this season. The final score was 27 to 21. Although the Hi team trailed by but one point at half time and three points at the end of the third period, the Bremen were never out of the lead. Flashy spurts on the
 part of the Department five and weak moments on the part of the school team were responsible for the game ending as it did.
 The Bremen led by several counters at the end of the first canto, but their lead was cut down
 at half time to single point. In the second quarter the winners ,chalked up ten while the High School pushed in but seven.
 In the final grame the Hilltop ipers were unable to make much lheadway, and made four points to seven by the opposition. The
 Bremen had the breaks in this round for fol,r If thair nnints
 came from difficult shots, one by
 Mangan and the other by Holl-

 Hollmann was high scorer for the

 It is a coincidence that the re- cords of the leading money winning sires of the British and American turf for 1929 were almost identical
 Chicle, the imported son of Spearmint-Lady Hamburg, led the American winning list with $254,- 665 due principally to the triumphs of the great Whitney juvenile, Whichone, victor in the rich Bel mont Futurity.
 Tetratema, by The T etrar h. Scotch Gift, topped the British sires with 51,397 pounds, the equivalent of about $250000.
 R. c. Dawson, who trained thor oughbreds in Britain for the Aga Khan, among others, led the train CTS on either side of the Atlantic with total winnings of 74,754 pounds approximately $375,000, the result of saddling 58 winners.
 Anxious tc avoid anything like the fiasco attending the challenge for the International Polo Cup in 1927, the British already are ad- vocating a tryout of the best avail able talent, whether Indian, Irish, Scotch or English, in selecting the team to invade the United States next summer.
 The original mention of Major Phipps Hornsby, Captain c. T. l. Roark, Captain H. c. Tremayne, and Colonel P. K. Wise as the in ternational quartet is now con- sidered premature by London ex- perts.
