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, first base; Hines, Causier or Mash burn, second base; Eliott, third base; A E KING & SON * \. teMJSBS 7 sold me the property* andl EXPECT IT TO GO UP IN VALUE.

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.

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.

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 Center, 154. Fans booed the ver dict that went to Coleman. Lou 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 pounders Nat Nathan coasted to an easy victory over his less ex perienced adversary, Henry Kap lan. In the wind up bout of the even ing, Scheer used his right to advan tage to take the lightweight laurels by beating Schatz. The lively exhibition houts of "Cocky” Alpert vs Jay Schoob and Joe Dinerman vs hfs brother, Sam. pleased the fans. Joe McGee ref ereed in his usual capable fashion and J. McCarthy and F. Basil Ab rams acted as judges. Harold Wright was timekeeper. 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 hey, p; D. Grevemberg, p; Mobley, lb; O. Grevemberg, rs; M. Grevem berg, cf; C. Grevemberg, ss; L. Bercegeay, If; R. Linderman, c; Morgan, 3b; H. London, 2b. Indians: Levy, c; Gould, p; Zu.

' 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. Larry Mashburn, of Kansas; WEEK-END SPECIALS LAND 0 LAKES SWEET CREAM BUTTER, lb. ... . 37c SOUTHERN BELLE BUTTER, lb 33c PAGE THREE Hines, a product of South Georgia Teachers College; and Ace Causier of Oglethorpe University, ar© all candidates for the keystone sack. 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.
