Ctnly fbur day* remain before it*
•better up” at the Municipal Stadium
ond the Savannah Indiana open their
Tire* game of the Sally League sea
son in Savanah. And all indication*
point to thia opening game being a
banner day in local baseball history
when the Scalper* clash, with the
Jacksonville nine here.
Bob LaMotte, general manager of
the Indians, revealed yesterday that
Savannah is out, determined to cop
the handsome trophy cup offered to
the town which boast* the largest at
tendance at an opening Sally League
dispute. The beautiful trophy i» be
ing donated by Dr. E M Wilder, pres
ident of the Sally League and the
award probably will become an an
nual event.
It is certain competition for the at
tendance cup is going to be stiff. In
terest in opening day games in all the
towns of the league has been mount
ing steadily during the past few days.
Columbus and Macon already have
announced they have practically sew
ed up the opening day honors. Mer
chants are going to close their doors
for the afternoon at each of these
communitie* and crowds of between
6,000 and 7,000 at each point are ex-,
pected when the first Sally League
game begins there.
No les* keen is the interest becom
ing more and more manifest daily in
the initial game at Savannah of the
Sally circuit. Sale* for opening day
and season pasteboard are steadily
increasing. On all sides there is talk
of the Indian* and the propsects of
the local* in the league. Mr. La-
Motte Is confident the first game of
the season here will bring out a tre
mendous number of fans.
In addition to furnishing an after
non of thrills and entertainment for
the horsehide devotee* of this area
the Sally league's opening game here
Tuesday will prove a boon to the
storm sufferers at Ganiesville. A sub
stantial percentage o f the gate re
ceipts will be turned over to the Sa
vannah chapter of the Red Cross to
be forwarded to those made homaless
by the recent tornado.
The Red Cross has asked Mayor
Gamble to issue a proclamation fo
cusing the attention of all Savan
nahians on the Tuesday game and re
questing the merchants to close their
stores during the afternoon so that
their employes might be in the stands
when the game gets under way. The
mayor has indicated this proclama
tion will be issued. All In all, early
appearances are the local ball park
Wil be jammed with spectators on
Tuesday.
The first actual game of the In
dians in the Sally League open* Sun
day in Jacksonville when they kick
the lid off the 1936 season. A number
of Savannahians are planning to make
the trip to the Florida city. The prob
able line-up for the meeting with the
Jax outfit is: West, catcher; Levy,
Frosberg or Gould, pitcher; Zupanic,

PETREL BASEBALL?
BIGHT MOUNDSMEN
ATLANTA, April If (TP)—The
Oglethorpe University baseball
team fa well supplied with pitchers
this year. Ooach Frank Anderson
says that of his entire squad of
16 men, exactly half of them are
moundsmen.
In a recent game with the Uni
versity of Cincinnati the Petrel
coach used three of hie eight pitch
ers. They gave up a combined total
of six hits while winning the game
11 to 2.
Today Oglethorpe opens its
Southern series with the University
of Florida. The game will ba played
in Atlanta.
Although Anderson hasn’t named
his pitchers for the game—the boys
say it’s a safe bet he’ll use several
and if the going is tough—all eight
of them may get in the game.

ALEX MORRISON says:
A loose grip with the left hand
will damage your swing about as
much as anything you can think
of. Yon can hold as tight as you
like at the start of your swing,
and still have your grasp loosen
before the clubhead lands on the
ball. o
As soon as the left hand loses
its hold on the shaft, all control
of the clubface is gone. The face
may land on the ball at any
angle but the right one.
I ve tried all kinds of things
to help keep a firm grip with the
left hand—gloves, tape, built-up
grips on the clubs—but none of
these things has been as effective
as a rubber grip I ran across re
cently. • The rubber is in thin
tape form about the sise of the
leather of a regular grip, fit i*
wrapped over the leather * for
about six inches, starting from the
top of the shafts This is ample
for the left hand.
- I found, in using club* with
these rubber strips, that I could
maintain a good firm hold with the
left little fingers, and thereby ex
ercise full control over the dub
face throughout the entire swing.
Ask your pro about these grips.

MENT AT AUDITORIUM
LAST NIGHT
Thrilling the meager crowd of
onlookers with an exciting series
of bouts, th© Alliance boxers fought
their way to the finals of their sec
ond annual elimination tourney at
the Municipal Auditorium last
night. The winners enter the city
wide amateur boxing tournament
to be staged April 28-29 at the
Auditorium.
The dope bucket was tipped last
night as several dark horses came
through to lace the favorites Fore
most among these was Scheer,
lightweight, who took the number
of Fialkow, 1935 champ and Walter
Lowe who downed Petey Grossman.
Nat Nathan, 115 pounds and Al
Hornsteln, 114 opened the card and
Nat outclassed his opponent all the
way of the three stanzas. Scheer
pasted Fialkow throughly in the
last round of their go. Lowe took
a well earned decision over Gross
man.
A wild, slugging battle was that
of Coleman Mopper, 156, and Leo

Cranman, 194, took a close decision
over Dave Rosenweig, 18_. Dave
Rubnitz, 163, outscored his enemy.
M. Alpert, 174. This was easily the
beet bout of the night.
In the final bout among the 115

an easy victory over his less ex

Indians To Give
Refinery Chance
Vengeance Today
A return game between the Dixie
Crystals and the Savannah Indians
will be played today at the home
grounds of the Sugar Hill club, at
the Sugar Refinery. To be started
promptly at 3:30, the boys from
the Refinery are expecting to take
the measure of the Tribe which took
a slim victory in their last meeting.
Although the Indians will present
a different lineup against Manager
Grevemberg’s Sugar Boys, with the
addition of Zupanic and Moore,
chances are that the Crystals are
pointing to this game and will be
out for battle with blood in their
eyes. Most of the Crystal boys are
castoffs from the spring training
of the Indian camp. Naturally they
are anxious to take the measure of
the aggregation from the Stadium.
The slim built McGaughey, who
held the Indians in check in tjieir
opening game will probably be on
the mound for the Sugar Hill boys.
Weakening only at the last of
the game with the Tribe this young
ster held the hits scattered, and
he will be more than willing to get
back what he lost in the last set
to.
It Is believed that Manager Bill
Gould will share part of the pitch
ing honors today for the Tribe. This
manager who has shown his fitness
for the job bestowed upon him by
Bobby LaMotte, general manager of
the Indians, will more than likely
take care of the work in the clos
ing frames of the game. There be
ing no admission charge for the
game, it is hoped that there will be
a large crowd at the Sugar Refinery
Diamond this afternoon.
Probable lineups are:
Refinery: Duggar, p; McGagug

Somewhat of an innovation to
swimming fans of the city will be
the presentation of a water polo
team composed of former Y swim
mers and present Savannah High

ly popular in the South, this will
be the first attempt in this section
to put this type of aquatic amuse

with Jacksonville, Brunswick and
OarJeerton are in order as it is
understood that these clubs have
teams which have been functioning
for the last two years.
With daily practices starting at
th© DeSoto pool Monday, there will
be many boys whose names are
familiar to Savannah fans, and who
have been more or less in the lime
light in aquatic diversions in the
last five years. Buddy Reese, Luke
Bowyer, Bert Anderson, Gene Pow

Wilfred Ellis, and others will be on
hand to have their fling at a game
which is considered by the nation's
critics to be one of th© most sat

SMILIHG BILL GOULD FACES TOUGH
PROBLEM PRUHIHG INDIANS TO FIRST
RANKERS FOR OPENING SALLY SEASON
(By Roger Greenleaf
Considerably pleased at the pros
pects of th© Savannah Indians,
“Smiling” Bill Gould, newly named
manager of the baseball club, an
ticipates a difficult time of it when
h© makes final selections in the
next few weeks.
While the Indians open th© sea
son in Jacksonville on Sunday, the
last cuts will not take place for
several weeks, the manager indic
ated.
Gould, tall and generally smiling,
is a veteran in the sport, having
pitched under some well known
managers, including Gabby Street,
one time Cardinal manager, who
later led the Redbirds to a World
Series pennant.
"It’s going to be a hard job to
do when the cutting time comes,
to know which ones to keep and
which ones to let go,” declared
Gould after practice yesterday.
"Savannah should be very much
pleased with the prospects of the
team,” the manager asserted. “The
trouble is,” he explained, “the fans
do not realize that each man has
to have a chance to see what he
can do under fir©. That's why I
haven’t let some players stay in for
the entire game when they were
making good.”
The smiling pilot naturally ex
pects it will take some time to
whip his young infield players into
shape. The outfield, however, with
its seasoned veterans, including
heavy swatters, -will give Gould
less concern, he indicated.
Gould said Zupanic and Moore,
who were farmed out from the Bir
mingham Barons, are living up to
expectations and seem sure of a
berth.
Zupanic is a left-handed first base
man, while Moore is short-stop.

Hines, a product of South Georgia

Bob LaMotte, general manager of
the Indians .believes that Savan.
nah is fortunate in having Pitts
burgh and Scranton to draw ad
ditional men from, if it is found
necessary to increase the strength
of the club or make later changes.
"You see,” LaMotte pointed out,
"we’re starting from, ’scratch’ and
it takes time.”
Gould confidently expects to win
the first game and to give all com
ers real competition. The opening
game for Savannah,’ to be played
Tuesday, will begin at 3:30 o’clock.
Gould started his baseball career
in 1923 at Nashville, Tenn., where
he was under the managemen of
the hot-tempered "Kid Tobasco”
Edenfield. The next year he played
at Muskogee, Okla., under Street.
In 1925 and 1936, Gould went to
Waco, Texas, but was transferred
in the middle of the year to Green
ville, S. C. In the latter city a
bad arm forced him out of play
near the end of the season. After
a rest during the winter months,
he returned to Nashville for the
whole season.
For the next two years he played
with Selma under Zinn Beck. His
best showing was in 1930, when he
won 12 out of 14 games while
pitching half of the season for the
Selma team.
Gould coached during the winter
months of the n©xt three years at
Princeton University, playing for
Buffalo, N. Y., in the warm months.
The 1935 season found him at Cedar
Rapids in the Western League.
In Cedar Rapids, Gould pitched to
“Bubber” Hargraves, who is a real
catcher, according to the new Sa
vannah pilot. Gould is a native of
Waverly, Tenn.
