GOLF FACTS NOT THEORIES/ ALEX. J. MORRISON '■ Ceirtrwl Prwm Ajwicuilion-. , m . pue \ "TO Right \\ hano / yV\ DOMINATION FT L— AfiA Number 908 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 ;•. x •<. . ■;.* : ••. ”•• - s .. :v 'i f; •<? ■;: . ;•; / : .>. i : te?%»go£acML < 3S&< - ' ~r-- .v? •':.?•• ’\ -- Rf v&£t wfe 1 WfeSKjjl r- r - * ■■ ■■.<vj>:. •. ■ »V®* V'' J .

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.

VTL leased CENTRAL VST - WIRE press T PHONE 6183 —EARLY PLEASE City Greets Return Os Baseball In Festival Mood This Afternoon TRIBESMEN MEET TARS IN OPENER 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 mlayers holding the regular asslgn- rs; H.

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 > By 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.

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.

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.
