ALEX MORRISON says:
Mpst of the kinks you feel in
your swing are not caused by
nerves or tense muscles. They
are due to the well-known fault
of too much right.
When your right hand takes
charge of the swing, you will
bend over too much, turn away
from the ball, lock your right
side instead of relaxing it in the
downswing and a million ot/.ci
things. You or your audience will
diagnose the hitch in your swing
as coming from any one of the
above errors. Seldom will you
suspect the unruly right side.
You may think that I’m going
to an extreme iri blaming so much
on the right side. Well, it isn’t
possible to put tod much blame on
the strong side because all of the
errors in your swing originate
there. Some proof of this can be
had in the following demonstra
tion—just swing very easily with
out trying to force the club. Note
how the more obvious faults seem
to be eliminated from your swing.
They are really not eliminated,
simply minimized through cutting
down the right side
THEIR GOAL IS OLYMPIC GAMES

MILLION DOLLAR
OFFER INTRIGUES
PROMOTER JACOBS
NEW YORK, April 21 (TP)
Promoter Mike Jacob: still pon
dering over a million dollar offer
to take the Joe Lov’’ Max Schmel
ing bout to San Diego. Cal.
Jacobs’ office said today that the
promoter hadn’t made a definite
selection as to the time or site of
the hea zyweight bout.
,Despite the huge offer from the
West Coast, it looks like a good
bet that the Brown Bomber and
Der Maxie will settle their differ
ences in the Yankee Stadium. The
New York Boxing Commission is
nutting the pressure on Jacobs to
keen the fight in Father Knicker
hooker's backyard.
Schmeling arrives from Germany

feat in 120 bouts.

ON HOME GROUND
MAYOR HURLS BALL INTO
BOX ON STROKE OF
ij.3o O’CLOCK
From the first ball pitched today
by Maj »r Gamble until the last half
of the ninth w’hen the Savannah
ians take the bat box for the close
of the game Savannahians will be
treated to the colorful revival of
baseball in the cradle of minor lea
gues, the old Sally League, dressed
up in her new clothes of night base
ball V 1 closer fences for the nard
bitt” jg ciouters, necessary for the
i rej venation of the league.
' he ball will roll onto the dia
mond promptly at 3:30 o’clock.
It will do the old timer’s hearts
good to sit up in the bleachers and
watch the hustling youngsters and
veterans of Bill Gould, manager of
the Indians, and Babe Ganzel, dim
inutive manager for the Tars from
Jacksonville.
Mainly the work us a trio of men
whose names are engraved upon
the minds of the sport loving pub
lic, Bob LaMotte, likeable vice pres
ident and general manager of the
Savannahians, Bob Fisher, tiny
Floridian from Jacksonville, in
whose hands was placed the des
tiny of the organization of the Jack
sonville club, and Troy Agnew, gen
ial head of the Augusta club, the
league was finally brought together
in this city on December 15 and
was formulated with the following
men as directors: Bobby LaMotte,
Savannah; Bob Fisher, Jackson
ville; Troy Agnew, Augusta; H. M.
Hatcher, Columbia; Roy Williams,
Macon; T. J. Reeves, Columbus.
With tw'o of the clubs being re
presented by big league clubs for
the express purpose of being farms,
i. e., St. Louis Cardinals in Colum
bus and Cincinnati Reds in Macon,
the meeting was a stormy and hec
tic one, with the fiery Larry Mc-
Phail of the Cincinnati Reds, and
quiet spoken William Walsingbam,
nephew of Branch Rickey of the
Candinals playing the leading roles.
Finally after some eleven hours of
debate and argument, the members
emerged with the present set up
of the South Atlantic Baseball Lea
gue and the idea was born. It was
truly a dramatic moment when the
representatives of the various clubs,
led by Bobby LaMotte filed their
forfeit checks for the necessary
SIOOO.OO as required by the national
leagues for Class B baseball with
Samuel Rhode, Jr., the recording
secretary for the League.
Quickly the news was transmit
ted over the wires to the various
parts of the country, where old time
baseball players who have long
since treked to the privacy of re
tirement or other lines of endeavor,
shook their heads and reminisced
over their troubles and happiness
spent on the old time parks where
the crowds were weak, but the en
thusiasm was strong.
Jacksonville leading the opening
day attendance to the tune of 300 G
people filing past the turnstiles, is
the record that Savannah hopes to
beat and come out on top with the
silver cup donated by Dr. E. M.
Wilder, president of the League.
With this dignitary being present
tomorrow at the game the stand
will be filled with more than an im
posing array of high baseball dig
nitaries.
For the first time in the history
of the league there will be played
night baseball. The old Sally Lea
gue has come to life in competition
with modern times, and hopes for
her happiness to the tune of large
crowds and rooters for the home
club are in order by the followers
of the national pastime in Savan
nah.
Presenting practically the same
lineup with the exception of Hines
replacing Cuasier on second base,
and Levy doing the mound work
for the tribe, Manager Bill Gould
has high hopes of erasing the
crushing defeat handed to his club
in Jacksonville Sunday when they
attempted to match bats with the
Tars. The following have been se
lected to start game:
Hines, 2b; Elliott, 3b; McNeil,
If; Hargrove, rs; Levy, p; West, c;
Moore, ss; Zupanic, lb; Thomas,
cf.
The chance of Hines, the sensa
tional rookie from the South Geor
gia Teacher’s College to play in his
first league game will be accom
panied by the cheers of the rooters
who have come from Statesboro
and the immediate vicinity to watch
their boy get his big chance. Dis
playing a brand of ball which has
the deserving eye of Bill Gould,
this boy promises to be on the ros
ter of the club for the season.
Babe Ganzel. diminutive manager
and short stop for the Tars, has
selected Dave McKinney, veteran
Southeastern player to start the
game fnr him, with the following

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1936
NED REIGH SAVES HIS
STUFF FOR STRETCH
< •• REIGH
rt
■ f I
(By Central Press.)
A superior mud runner with a liking for long routes. Ned
Rcigh is sure to be one to watch when the field goes to the post,
May 2nd, for the Kentucky Derby. The husky brown colt is
owned by Willis Sharpe Kilmer, whose Exterminator won the
big race in 1918.
Ned Reigh wintered on Kilmer’s Virginia farm where Ex
terminator is spending the twenty-first year of his now peaceful
Ife. Ned was taken- to Jamaica in early spring where he was
scheduled to run April 25th in the Wood Memorial.
As a two-year-old Ned Reigh was kept busy with 16 races,
of which he won five for a total of $24,655. He was second
once and showed four times. He was one of the few two-year
olds to run beyond a mlie, twice traveling the mile-and-a-six
teenth route. In these two races he showed a penchant for
stretch running that promises brilliantly for his Derby chances.
In the Pimlico Futurity, at 1 1-16 miles, the son of Neddie
ran third, but closed so fast it seemed he would catch Holly rood
and Grand Slam if the race had been a furlong farther. Then,
in the Walden Handicap, his-last-start as a juvenile, he mean
dered through the mud to beat Challephen, Wise Duke, Memory
Book and other fast two-year-olds, -again coming from far back
to collar the leaders in - the stretch.
Horsemen say some of his staying qualities probably come
from his dam’s side of the house. His dam, Reigh Nun, was a
daughter of Sun Reigh, mother of the famous Reigh Count.
Georgia Sports

BILL MUNDAY
Rifle teams of Georgia Military
Academy. College Park, have scored
signal triumphs over all competing
essentially military schools ’of the
Fourth Corps Area of the United
States Army, it is announced by-Gen
eral George Van Horn Moseley, Com
mander.
The first team of the popular Geor
gia- institution has captured the
championship and will receive the
Hearst trophy, highest recognition
awarded while the second team, has
second honors, signed and sealed tor
delivery* of the second Hearst jrue.
The trophies will carry a plaque with
the names of the champions handsome
ly engraved upon them.
Marksmanship, which evidently had
its early development In the popping
out of squirrels’ eyes with a 22 calibre
rifle In the woods around Upson Coun
ty, has brought Cadet Adjutant James
Colquitt, of Thomaston, the honor of
chalking up the highest Individual
score of all-American military schools.
And his record Is quite phenomenal.
He scored 194 out of a possible 200.
A fine gold watch donated by’ Will
iam Randilph Hearst, suitably en
graved, will be his reward.
Perhaps no school in our great na
tion ever has had the distinction of
making a clean sweep in such com
petion, and this column extends a
congratulatory palm to the cadets,
their coaches and their splendid Presi
dent, Col. J. C. Woodward.
JUST TALK—-Cecil Travis, the
Fayetteville youngster, switched from
third to short this ssason by the Wash
ington Senators, has shown real clasi
in his new role—and he’s hlttin, too —
as per usual—Bryan Grant is skepti
cal over his chances of earning a Dav
is Cup team berth this year—says
Allison and Van Ryan are too good—
but regardless of his modest opinions
I would rather se him in the No. 1
singles place than arts netman the
U. S. can name in its desperate ef
fort to regain the noted trophy, which
has ben away from our shores many
years too long—There will be plenty
of baseball in Georgia this year—sev
eral years ago I thought interest In tire
open spaces was dead—but It is being
revived in a big way—3,2oo passed
through the turnstiles for Moultrie’s
opening game the other day—Augusta,
Macon, Savanah and Columbus avid

BENEDICTINE TO
DECIDE ON COACH
AT MEETING TODAY
EXPECTED BATTLE OVER
ROBBIE THOMSON
LOOMS
The fate of Coach Robbie Thomsen
will be in the hands of the Benedic
tine Association’s executive commit
tee when it meets t'nis afternoon at
6 o’clock to consider the athletic
situation’ at the military school.
Faculty members are said to be
against the renewal cf Coach Rob
bie’s contract. Members of the ath
letic body are reported divided it
their opinions. Most of them have
no desire to oppose the faculty in
running the athletics of the school.
On the other hand. Coach Robbie is
one of the most popular men ever
associated with the school and also
one of the most popular men in lo
cal sports circles.
Members of the association said
today the whole matter would be in
the air until the meeting this after
noon is ever—possibly even after
that. In the words of one member,
“the committee may decide to go to
bat for Robbie, or it may decide to
follow the faculty’s wishes.”
Among the applicants for the job
are Charlie Trayncr, now at Spring
HUI Academy in Alabama; Denny
Leonard, now at Miami University,
and Olin Huff, former Georgia foot
ball star. Traynor and Leonard are
former B. C. men. Traynor, however,
is said to have the inride edge on
faculty favor.
Correctly Speaking—
Pertaining and appertaining are
interchangeable in meaning.
Words of Wisdom
He only is a well-made man who
has a good determination. —Emerson,
the re-organlded South Atlantic Lea
gue—and. of course, every mill town
will place a team on the field —and,
with all this baseball going on, I won

Y INDOUK BALL
LEAGUE TO OPEN
Another “Y” activity was inaug
urated last night by Sam Williams,
Physical Director for the ”Y’, when
he got the Indoor League under
way.
Composed of members of former
colleges and sandlot indoor softball,
the league promises to be one of
the fastest ever turned out in the
popular red building. Playing every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
nights at 5:30, this league which
hopes to rival the popularity of the
Volleyball League got off to a fly
ing start last night when Don
Gray’s Cubs put a trouncing on the
Indians under the leadership of
Charley O’Brien. Having full clubs
on the floor, these two aggrega
tions, to the accompaniment of
cheers and catcalls, soon got off
to a good game, smashing the ball
to the corners of the race track and
sneaking hot drives through the
infield of the opposing club.
Indoor is not the only recreation
afforded by the Y. Badminton and
Shufflebcard exponents are getting
off to a start on every Tuesday
night at 8:30 instead, of Friday at
that time. Mr. Williams stated that
the Industrial and Church leagues
may reserve the floor by calling
his office. Reservations must be
made in order to alleviate the
crowded conditiohs of the floor.
