MORRISON coti*i IMO. WM • .:s \COMS rueN SpoOM Number 909 ALEX MORRISON says: * Very often players fail to get the most out of practice because they use the wrong clubs. Most of the time spent on the practice ground should be given to im proving your swing. If you keep this point in mind, you’ll under stand the following suggestion about dubs. At first you should use a No. 6 iron. After loosening up your wrists and forearms, and making sure that you can keep your head In position throughout every swing, then you can take a longer swing with a No. 3 Iron. This dub should enable you to loosen up most of your leg and back muscles so that you can go to a wood dub. Most players practise with a driver or bxussie when they should stick to the qpoon.

For the word went out from the [ district attorney’s office today that ! amateur games of chance, includ | ing the famous ‘Bingo ”, as well as ! raffles of all sorts and wheels of chance are against the law. That type of game has been pop ! ular, especally in church circles | as a means of raising money for charities and other purposes. Said the district attorney’s of fice: “We cannot put down profes sional gambling in Washington as long as amateur or benefit raffles and lotteries are widespread. The raffling of prises is clearly a game of chance and a violation of the law.*’ Frown—l never thought you would get married. You always said mar riage Is a joke. Looney—l still think it is, but the trouble is that the joke’s on me. Dr. Cutteem— Oh, you needn’t pay me until after I remove your appen dix. McTavish—-I’m not going to pay you now.

Tommy—So I can fly over the schoolhouse and drop bricks on It. FISTICUFFS BUM IMS SAME x - J\''- .•£ v, As the Fight Began.

Peggy is a leopard who gave birth to the two cubs the other day. Wilson knows the cubs have arrived, all right, but he’s had no more than a peek at the twins. For 11 days, he explained, the moth er must keep her youngsters in a darkened cave. If disturbed, Wilscn explained, the mother probably would kill her cubs. A FISH STORY DUBBC, Me., April 22 (TP)— The 1936 sardine canning season is ready to open except for just one thing. Five Lubec factories have the machinery all set to turn. Crate after crate of the small flat cans are in readiness. 500 work ers are waiting to start. Boats are ! ready for the catch. Two weeks ago the prepartions started when i nearby waters swarmed with the small herring put up as sardines. But now the flrh have disappeared.

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1936 I Georgia Sports By BILL MUNDAY Rifle teams of Georgia Military Academy, College Park have scored signal triumphs over all competing Fourth Corp 6 Area of the United States army, it is announced by General George Van Horn Moseley, commander. 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 for delivery of the second Hearst pirze. The trophies will carry a plaque with the names of the champions hand somely engraved upon them. Marksmanship, which evidently had its early development in the popping out of squirrels’ eyes with a 22-calibre rifle in te woods around Upson county, has brought Cadet Adjutant James Colquitt, of Thom aston, the honor of chalking up the highest individual score of all:Amer ican military schools. And his rec ord is quite phenomenal. He scored 194 out of a possible 200. A fine gold watch, donated by William Randolph Hearst. suitably engraved will be his reward. Perhaps no school in our great nation eyer has had the distinction of making a clean sweep in such competition, and this column extends a congratulatory palm to the cadets, their coaches and their splendid president, Col. J. C. Wodoward. • * * Just Talk—Cecil Travis, the Fay etteville youngster, switched from third to short this season by the Washington Senators, has shown real class in his new role—and he’s 1 hittin’, too —as per usual —Bryan Grant is skeptical over his chances of earning a Dapis Cup team berth this year—says Allison and Van Ryn are too good—but regardless of his modest opinions I would rather see him in the No. 1 singles place than any netman the U. S. can name in its desperate effort to regain the noted trophy, which has been away from our shores many years too long— There will be plenty of baseball in Georgia this year—several years ago I thought interest in the 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, Sa vannah and Columbus avidly are con templating their season in the reor ganized South Atlantic League—and, of course, every mill town will place a team on the field —and, with all , this baseball going on, I wonder where the growers will find hands to pack their peaches. During the rush hour in a down town cafeteria a meek little man left his seat at the crowded table to get a second cup of coffee. When he re turned he found a great hulking brute in his place. “No,” growled the bigger man in response to the timid request, “I won’t give you this seat until I am through eating." “Very well,” agreed the smaller man, “but I don't suppose you would mind giving me my slab of pie you're sitting on?"

Given splendid support by his teammate*, Jake Levy, the Indian hurler of no mean propor tions, was stingy, allowing a total of six base hits, and keeping them well scattered. From the time that Mayor Gamble tossed the first ball of the game over the plate to Gen eral Grayson until the final out, Savannahians were treated to a fast game of offensive baseball which kept them on their toes, and showed them that Savannah is in the league running despite the set back suffered at Jacksonville Sun day. Hines, stocky second sacker for the Tribe in his professional debut collected three hits in five times up off Lyle, one of them a circuit clout which came with one man on. Hargrove, the right fielder for the Indians, got two out of four. Lyle, the hurler for the Tars got Into trouble and was touched for a total of ten hits until relieved by Butland in the fifth inning. The Tndians really got going in their half of the second when Levy walked, and Moore, the fast step ping little short stop, lifted a high one into the right field bleachers for a home run scoring Levy. They duplicated the same number of runs in the fourth when West got a single and shortly thereafter came home when Hines caught one of the slow drops of Lyle and drove it into the left field bleach ers for the second and last home run of the game. The run making was stopped on the behalf of Sa vannah when in thp fifth inning Zupanic and Hargrove both got singles and came home when Levy hit a hot one through second, scoring them both. Jacksonville scored its only tally in the sixth, mainly because of Hines muffing the ball, allow ing Ganzel to stop on second, and then scoring when Smith, Tar catcher singled in short left field. With the stands approaching 2,000 paid admissions and close to 2.500 counting “Annie Oakleys’’, the day was warm with the right tang for baseball wetaher. Ac companied to the tune of many airs from the Savannah Fire De partment and Police Department bands the game officially got un der way when Mayor Gamble cut the corner of the plate for a strike. Bob Fisher, owner of the Jackson ville club was in attendance with Sam Butz. Sports Editor for the Jacksonville Times Union in the party. Zupanic, stolid first baseman for the Indians pulled one of the most spectacular plays of the game when he made a stab at a ball hit by Fiarition in the second inning, with the ball coming on a long drive behind first base. Throwing the ball over his shoulder to Levy covering the bag, the Tars were retired for the final out. Box score: JACKSONVILLE AJB R H PO A Stratton, rs 4 0 2 2 0 H.

MEETING OFF The coaching situation at Bene dictine School remained in the air today as the Benadictine Associa tion executive committee failed to get a quorum for the meeting at which they were expected to bring matters to a climax. Yesterday’s baseball game was responsible for postponement of last night’s meet ing. Baseball will probably inter fere today. SCOm SCRAPBOOK by R. J.

Being woefully weak *in free style events, the Blue Jackets expect more than to make up for this delinquency when it comes to marking down the points in the breast stroke and diving columns. Having John McKenna, and Sonny Bragg in these events, the Jackets are more than anxious to pit their strength against the duo represent ing the Y in the brest stroke and high diving, Bert Anderson and Bud dy Reese. With only five boys swimming for the Y, Reese, Rhode, Bowyer, AndeT son and Powell, this club will at tempt to hang the firet defeat on the Savansh aggregation for the present season.
