You can add the names of 17,000 more fans to the list that Frankie Sinkwich is the greatest back in thej country, and if the South Carolina players don't think so, they are simply unbelievers. The faithful 17,000, many of them Carolina fans, watched one of the most amazing exhibitions of football greatness here tonight as Georgia slaughtered a fine South Carolina team, 34 to 6. Sinkwich, fire seeming to stream from his nostrils when he took the ball, personally accounted for four of Georgia's five touchdowns. He passed for three of them, set up another with an amazing 50- Tougaloo 0 Furman 13 bat although going hitless. Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons, pitch ing brilliantly for the Brooklyns, was struck just above the left knee cap by a vicious drive off Russo's bat in the seventh.

Georgia boys seem to get credit or discredit for most everything that happens in the series, and today it was Hugh Casey's turn not to be a hero. Casey was anything but a star in a relief role. He was lucky to get out with his life as the Bronx Bombers dropped one depth charge after another. Casey allowed four straight hits and the two runs that meant the ball game. DIXIE WALKER SCORES.

Morris Brown startled the 4,000 fans who saw brilliant playing of a team which only a week ago looked ragged. A 75-yard drive climaxed the first score. Mitchell leaped in the air and passed to Bookert for a first down, passed again to Jenkins for another first.

4. JT) Larry MacPhail, the man of a few thousand words, used every one of them at least once today to say what he thought of Manager Leo Durocher's choice of Hugh Casey as relief pitcher for the Dodgers in the third World Series game with the Yankees. Although he didn't see Durocher for several hours after the game, the red-headed president of the National League champions told everyone else willing to listen that he regarded the choice of Casey as stupid, largely because he believed the tobacco-chewing right-hander "was not warmed up properly." Casey didn't throw one hard ball all the time he was warming up," MacPhail charged. "Sure, he was lobbine; them In for several but he didn't bear down at all. McGrew (Dodger Scout Ted McGrew) and I were sittint; in my box watching him, and we nearly fell off our chairs when the bench called him in.

"What could those guys be thinking about on the Bench. They had another pitcher who'd been working just as long as Casey and was ready to go." The only other pitcher who worked in the bull pen for any length of time before Fitzsimmons was removed was Larry French, a left-hander.
