Tomcats end Cordele jinx with overdue victory
The Tomcats finally beat Cordele in Municipal Stadium ending a long drought and halting a string of near-misses this season. Hank Greenberg argues for a league wide bidding rule on players waived from the National loop, aiming to curb big bonuses and preserve competitive balance. Ted Lyons recalls the famous Drop the Bat play with Jimmie Dyke and the 1920s White Sox, while Jim Buckles earns his first win of the season mirroring an earlier May 6 performance. Eighteen hits over two days push their total to 42 as they surge in the standings.
