light and tries with the hope of pin
ting a defeat on the veteran swim
mers from the redb uilding.
WKh only five swimmers represent
ng the “Y” club, Reese, Anderson,
gbwryer, Rhode and Powell, a good
ask will be on the hands of this
quintet who ope to put the Jackets
at the skids -in their first most.
Mood by a bevy of stars which in
ihide Jahn McKenna, breast stroke
Jar the Jackets; Sonny Bragg, diver
on both high and low boards, and
Weeks, versatile back stroke ace who
has fallen into the enviable shoes of
Dick Miller, former Blue Jacket star,
Savannah High wil go into the swim

and shooting at the quintet of boys
who will handle the reins cf the “Y”
destinies.
The scene of the meet to take
place at the Hotel De Soto, plans are
Ming made even at this early date
jo replace the top board and to board
off the remainder of the pool into
wparate lanes so as to avoid inter
ference with the swimmers. Starting
oromptly at 830, contestants express
ed their only fear that the water
would be too cold for recor dsmash

PELICANS PUT TO
FLIGHT BY WOOD
YARD NINE SUNDAY
Catching the Savannah Beach
Pelicans on the skids after their de
moralizing defeat by the Indians in
the Municipal Stadium las tweek, the
Cochran’s Wood Yard club handed
the Pelicans their second r-traight
defeat yesterday before a small but
enthusiastic crowd on the Tybee
diamond .
Getting six hits off Miller the elon-
Steed hurler for the Pelicans, the
chran aggregation behind the four
hit pitching of Meyer pushed across
enough runs to win by the score of
< to 3. Although the game was
loosely played with both sides get
ting more than their share of errors,
the time of the season had much to
do with it, and the boys went out
with ther bats and more than made
sp for this fault.

and more of Savannah’s most out

getting themselves in trim for a crack

Among the ear-scrambling gentry,
who will leather in the affair, are such
scrappers as Joe Dinerman, alliance
and city prep champion In the 145

still hitting in ths same gosh awful
spot as only imbalance in the air can
give you. But there is one thing
certain and that is the fact that
when you are feeling low and need
pepping up, go to that spot and take

breath-taking leup through space cr
whether it be the body racking fall,
you will be in better shape when you

TWICE SUNNY JIM FITZSIMMONS has trained the win
ner of the Kentucky Derby, and the veteran has high hopes
that on May 2 one of his several charges, perhaps White
Cockade, will romp home ahead of the field at Churchill
Downs.
Fitz is found of White Cockade’s chances to give him the
same thrill he had when Gallant Fox and Omaha, both trained
by him, won the Blue Grass classic. Early last spring Fitz
simmons called White Cockade the best colt he ever trained, i
As a two-year-old White Cockade won his first three start*
easily at Jamaica. He was out of the money three times ii
10 starts. One of his best performances was a-t Arlington park
last July when the bay son of Diavolo-White Favor ran third
to Deliberator and Nedrow in a 5%-furlong dash, timed in
1:04 3-5.
White Cockade, owned by Ogden Phipps, who was also his
breeder, is from good staying stock. His dam White Favor,
is a daughter of Sir Gallahad HI, sire of Gallant Fox, which in
turn sired Omaha.
Wintering at Aqueduct. L. 1., White Cockade has grown
into a healthy, well-formed hese with all the appearances of
being a strong contender for three-year old honors. The fact
that he did his best racing last spring and early last summer
promises well for his training for the Derby.

Tomorrow will be the red letter
day in the 1936 sport history for the
city when the Indians open their
home season with a game with the
highly touted Jacksonville Tars
from the sunny state. Losing the
game yesterday in Jacksonville to
ths tune of 15 to 4, the Indians will
be out for revenge and will prob
ably take to the warpath with Har
ris on the mound and West behind
the bat.
With yesterday's game not as bad
as it sounds, the high wind gave
both clubs trouble. Wind or no
wind, according to Manager Bill
Gould of the Indians, will not ham
ner the Tribe from taking the Tars
into camp tomorrow.
The high dignitaries of tho city
will be on hand to watch Mayor
Gamble throw in the first ball, and
with the Mayor issuing a proclama

KHAYYAM, son of Omaha Khyyam which won the Ken
lucky Derby in 1917, is a big horse 17 hands high, but so far
he has done nothing to justify the enthusiasm of his owner,
Bing Crosby, radio and movie crooner.
The tall chestnut goes to the Kentucky Derby, May 2, as a j
maiden. That must not be taken as too strong an indication j
he cannot win, for three have been horses that made the Derby ;
their first victory, but Khayyam has not shown the ruggedness
of his sire so far.
Khyyam started racing as a two-year old las July at Sara
toga. In four races the closest he got was fourth. This year
raced nine times at Saratoga, and though he did not win, he
placed in four heats, all of them over the mile route. In
his last appearance, in February, he ran second to Mauve
Decade. He is a fair mud runner.
Khayyam is trained by the former great jockey, Albert
Johnson. The horse is magnificent in appearance, built almost
on show horse pattern. His dam was Caterpillar, by Meridian,
indicating he yet may show the staying qualities expected
because of his patronage.
Omar Khayyam, sir of Kyhayyam, was the only imported
hose ever to win the Kentucky Derby, and went on that year
to become the thrce-year-old champion with winnings of
$49,070.

ALEX MORRISON says:
A left-handed player is more
apt to let the strong side over
power the weak side than is the
right-handed player.
A southpaw generally does less
to harmonize the two sides of his
body. The result is that he in
creases the errors suffered by the
right-handed player when he get*
too much right into his swing.
Just as the right-handed player
can- keep his strong side from
running wild by keeping his chin
, pointed back of the ball, so the
left-handed player can enjoy an
even greater benefit from this
same measure.
When the chin is kept back of
the ball, the strong side is
checked. In fact, this checking
affords some players an excuse for
not properly pointing the chin.
They feel that they are hampered
by keeping the chin back. It does
l cramp the strong side, but you’ll
find when pointing it properly
that the chin affords the best ad
vantage to the weak side.
