Local Telegraph Features 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.

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, FANS TURN OUT IN TOPCOATS TO SEE NOTED TENNIS STARS IN ACTION HERE Some half-a-thousand tennis fans, most of them wearing topcoats to ward off the chilly night air, gather ed in the stands of the Daffin Park courts last night to see the bril liant exhibition performance of lanky Ellsworth Vines and three other ten- BENEDICTINE TENNIS STARS ALL SET FOR TILT WITH SOLDIERS Weather permitting, the Benedic tine tennis team was slated for a match at 3:30 o’clock this atfemoon with a selected squad from Fort Screven.

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.

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.” AUTO SMASH BREAKS LEG, COLLARBONE AND JAW OF S. C. WOMAN The condition of Miss Marie Johnson of Luray, S. C., and Jasper Johns of Allendale, S.

AQUATIC 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.

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. P. C. “I am a hay f*”— victim end would be glad to p forma tion about where I can get from this sickness.
