SUGAR BOYS TOSS
SCARE AT INDIANS
) IN CLOSE CONTEST
Last Minute Onslaught Rounds
Out 5 to 4 Score
Throwing a scare into the highly
. touted machinery of the Savannah
■ Indians, the underdog Dixie Crystals
t yesterday went down by a last inning
onslaught ol the tribe to the tune of
5 to 4.
With an eventful last minute rush
to overtake the Crystals who had a
2 run lead, the Redskins started with
Harris singling, advancing when Ford
the lanky catcher was hit by a ball
from the Crystal pitcher McGaughey.
Brayton stepped into one of the tanta
lizing drops of McGaughey and dou
bled scoring Hariss and Ford.
Earl Jackson, former Savannah High
athlete, then singled scoring Brayton
making the count even. Thomas step
ped into a fast one and scored Jack
son.
The boys from the Sugar Refine
ry really did themselves proud behind
the tight pitching of the former cast
off from the Indian camp, McGaughey.
Keeping the bits well scattered, the
slim youngester hat the proverbial
Indian sign on the tribe until their
half of the ninth.
The Crystals had their beginning
in the sixth with Linderman getting
on first by error, McGaughey singled
and came in with Linderman on a hit
by Grevemberg. Scoring a lone tally
In the fourth, the sugar hill boys
appeared to have the game well in
hand until the heavy artillery of the
Redskins opened up and pushed across
enough runs to put the game in the
winning side of the ledger.
Consensus of opinion has it that the
pruning knife of Bobby LaMotte, genial
general manager for the Indians, who
yesterday chewed more than his share
of stogies when his club was fight
ing to catch the fa*t flying Crystals,
will fall very quickly and further de
plete the fast falling ranks of the tribe.

BILLY EVANS DISCOUNTS HORNSBY’S OPTIMISM
Veteran Writer Doubts Browns’
Ability to Attain Fifth Place
By BILLY EVANS
Copyright, 1936, by Central Press
ROGERS HORNSBY, through good
Judgment and shrewd trading, has
made the St. Louis Browns a much
improved ball club.
Unquestionably the Browns are on
the up grade. Manager Hornsby Is
very definite as to hte opinion. "No
worse thna fifth,’’ is the way he puts
it.
If you would believe the experts, the
American league race will be a sharp
ly divided affair, with Detroit, Bos
ton, New York and Cleveland the
class of the league. That rating leaves
the second division to Chicago, St.
Louis, Washington and Philadelphia.
No doubt Jimmy Dykes, pilot of the
Chicago White Sox and Stanley Har
ris, leader of the Washington Senat
ors, have read Hornsbys statement
that the Browns will be no worse
than fifth.
Old Fox Aims High
I api sure Dykes will be greatly
disappointed If he finishes worse than
fifth. And, while Stanley Harris
hasn’t been making any predictions
for Washington, other than that he
will have a much better club, Presi
dent Clark Griffith has been doing
some talking. He likes the chances
of hte club to finish fourth and has
consigned Cleveland to fifth.
There is no doubt about the Brown’s
catching. Rollie Hemsley is one of
the best receivers in the majors. He
took hte baseball seriously last year
and profited with a much increased
salary that should make for even
better work this year. In Angelo
Gulliani, up from St. Paul, St. Louis
has picked up a mighty competent
backstop defensively, but who may
have hte troubles hitting big league
pitching. Many major league clubs are
worse off than the Browns when it
comes to catching.
The St. Louis infield can’t be laugh
ed off either. Getting Carey from the
St. Louis Cardinals for second and
Lyn Lary from Washington for short
stop, Hornsby has rounded out a
pretty good infield with Irving Burns
at first and Harland Clift at third.
Lary after being kicked around from
New York to Boston to Washington
and finally landing In St. Louis, play
ed consistently good ball for the
Browns. The Inexperienced Clift is
perhaps the poorest defensive player,

but he showed much improvement last
year and no man on the club packs
a more dangerous punch.
Solters Socks ’Em
The outfield of Solters. West and
either Coleman, Bell or Pepper play
ing the other berth, is better than
average. The power Solters displayed
after joining St. Louis was the chief
reason why the club was tough to
beat late in the race. It seemed that
Solters was always coming up with
men on the bases and delivering.
Weaknesses are the lack of enough
good starting pitchers and the fact
that the club doesn’t carry enough
power at the plate. A ball club that
hopes to go places must have at least
four players who carry real power.
Ivy Paul Andrews, under Hornsby’s
direction arrived last year and pitch
ed good ball every time he started,
regardless of the outcome. Other than
Andrews and Jack Knott, the Browns
are short of starting pitchers who
have better than a 50-50 chance to
come through. "Sugar” Cain, secured
from the Athletics, has plenty of
ability but seemingly too much tem
perament. When with Philadelphia,
Lee Roy Mahaffey did well enough
when Mack picked the spots for
him, Clevleand being one club he al
ways could beat, even when unable
to finish against others.
Praises Walkup
Os the others, Jimmy Walkup is by
far the best prospect. This young
man has real ability. Some day he is
going to find himhelf and when he
does there will be no better hurler
on the St. Louis staff. Mike Meola,
after brief trials with Washington
and Boston, is back at 27 years of
age for another chance. Earl Cald
well in a couple of starts last fall
seemed to lack a big league fast
ball. Al Thomas, once an outstand
ing pitcher with Chicago and Wash
ington, forced out through an arm
injury, seeks to prove that he has
recovered. The two left-handers, Van
Atta, who in his first year for the
Yanks did some fi*.e pitching, and
Howard Mills, dont figure very strong
ly as starters.
Possibly the Browns are as good
a« the great Rogers Hornsby thinks,
not worse than fifth, but I rather
doubt it. I fear the lack of power
and not enough pitching, is going
to keep the club from making good
on its manager’s prediction.
nis celebrities. Thrills a-plenty com
pensated the Savannahian enthusi
asts who showed up undismayed by
the cold weather. The match last
night marked the inauguration of
night play o nthe Daffin Park courts.
Vines, the best player the world
offers today, started last night. He
scored in a decisive victory over Les
ter Stoeffen in the singles. Then he
joined with Berkeley Bell to down
George Lott and Stoeffen in the
doubles encounter.
Ellsworth took Stoeffen in that
singles match, 6-3 and 7-5. In the
last of these two sets Ellsworth was
far behind for a time. In the singles
meet in which Lott and Bell con
tended, Lott took both sets by a score
of 6-4, 6-2.
The curtain rang down on the
eve ing’s play with the Vines-Bell
combination putting away Stoeffen
and Lott in the doubles with a finaJ
tally of 6-4, 8-6.
Chubb—They’ve wirelessed the air
weighed the soul and photographed
stars and other things the eye can’t
see. I wonder what miracle they will
perform next?
Fluff—Oh, I expect they will be
reading the unwritten law most any
day now.

SAYS ROGERS HORNSRY...
V EST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 9—“ l note the critics
sav that Boston is the most improved team in the American
league. AX hile admitting the Red Sox are a much better
ball club, I think the St. Louis Browns are the most im
proved club in the majors.
“Don’t get me wrong in the belief that we are pennant
contenders. Rather, I regard our club as pennant offen
ders, meaning that we are going to make plenty of trouble
for the touted teams. True, when a club adds such stars
as Foxx, McNair, Cramer and Marcum to its lineup, it is
bound to be a lot tougher. While we haven’t any new
stars of that magnitude, still we have materially increased
our strength by the addition of such players at Solters,
Lary, Carey, Coleman and others.
I get a great kick out of watching these young players
like Clift come along. All in all, I feel that we have a team
that isn’t going to be kicked around. Fifth place cer
tainly is not beyond our reach.”

TEAMS DEBUT
Will Be Seen In Fast Exhibition
Tonight At DeSoto
Th© 1936 edition of the Savannah
High swimming squad will be
shown for the first time tonight
at the fast Hotel De Soto Pool und
er the direction of Sam Williams,
Physical Director of the Y. With
the meet being strictly exhibition
and the winners being accorded
places on th© team for future
meets, swimming critics state that
the entire power of the club lies
in the breast stroke, middle dis
tance free style and diving events.
John McKen .a, the crack breast
stroke star whose future has been
said to be unlimited in this event,
will more than amply take care of
the 100 yard breast stroke race.
This compact but powerfully built
star whose sensational swimming
last year, captured for him the G.
I. A. A. crown will, in all probabil
ities. swim for time tonight on the
score of events scheduled.
Sonny Bragg, former Blue Jacket
football and basketball player will
don his silk tank suit for the first
, time this season for his efforts off
the ten foot board. The popular
Jacket maestro hopes to emulate
his feats of 1935 when he took the

HOW OUR BODIES
ARE REGULATED
Elaborate Mechanism Maintains
System’s Temperature
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
EVERY MACHINE must be con
structed so that not only the various
parts work, but that they work in
unison. Your automobile needs a con
stant supply of gasoline in the car
buretor, but the supply must be neither
too little nor too much. Every motor
ist knows the symptoms of both of
these things. Just now our social
machinery is in trouble because the
function of production is geared a
head of the function of distribution. !
So in the human machine, the
many functions have to be correlated.
Digestion must b- efficient, but too
much digestion, st least too much
absorption of digested products, would
be as bad as too little. The kidneys
must be prepared to excrete waste pro
ducts to excrete.
The temperature of the body is
maintained at a definite level by an
elaborate mechanism which would
stump any mechanical engineer to
duplicate. If the temperature falls,
the combustion inside the body im
mediate! rises; the organs where most
combustion occurs, the muscles, begin
to move involuntarily—we call it shiv
ering and the temperature rises. If the
temperature of the body threatens to
be too high, the little blood vessels
of the skin dilate, a film of water in
the sweat glands is thrown out over
them, and in evaporating, cools off
these pipes of the bdoy. It is exactly
like cooling off hot pipes or surfaces
with a spray of water.
Something in Command
Something has to be in comma,nd
of all these different functions— a re
gulator or major general, seated some
wehe in the center so that a knowle
dge of what the trouble is will be
brought to it and help sent out in the
form of physiological adjustments. The
major general remilator is known as
the “automatic nervous system”. It
consists of a series of masses of nerve
ganglia, which are distributed all over
the body the controls of which are
massed in the back of the abdomen
and chest, along th»* spinal column.
Most of its work is done by an ad
justment of the small blood vessels vs
the body, dilationg them in order to
increase the amont of blood that goes
to and from a part, constricting them
to lower the functional capacity of an
organ.
A number of tests have been de-'
vised to study the efficiency of this
unconscious nervous system, and a
number of medicines are known
which will influence it quite dirotly
which will influnce it quite directly.
We will study these in th succeed
ing articles this week.
