MOORE'S HITTING
KEEPS TRIBESMEN
LEADING AT FIRST
1
* A) ft game replete with thrills, the
Jfcdtoaowriite Tars yesterday Jn a
fthratto Alger finish in their half of
the ninth pushed across three runs
whion, were enough to win the ball
game 7 to 6. With Savannah play
ing the leading role for the game up
to that point, the grandstand finish
which left the spectators gasping,
served to emphasize the point agreed
upon by critics, and that is, never let
down with the Jacksonville club.
Featured by the stick work of Ed
die Moore, the speedy little shortstop
of the Tribe who collected three ov.t
of four, Savnanah, was in the black
until Bob Harris turned his ankle
and had to retire in favor of Lowe.
This little southpaw couldn’t bear
down enough to take the measure of
the Jacksonville aggregation, and in
the last half of the ninth, the Tars
pushed across enough runs to eke
out ahead of the Indians.
Babe Ganzel, Rie highly valuable
player-manager oi the Tars, in his
first time up hit a grounder to Moore
and then collapsed at the plate, with
muscles torn in his right side. A doc
tor being summoned by the umpire,
a hasty examination was made and
declared not serious, and Ganzel re
tired from the game, giving his posi
tion over to Dunbar who came in
from left field. Walker, a substitute
gang out to that position.
Savannah got away to a fine start
in the second inning when McNeil
singled, going down to second when
Zupanic followed him with a hard
grounder through second. Hargrove
then lined one to second base, was
thrown out but the elongated McNeil
came home for the initial run. Jack
sonville duplicated this run in their
half of the third when Smith scored
on a crashing single off Stratton, the
hard hitting right fielder of the lars.
In their half of the third, Savannah
put Harris and Moore on the tacks
by their hitting single ,s Thomas
caught a fast one through the cen
ter of the plate and got a double,
scoring Harris. McNeil hit a slow
grounder to third, was thrown out,
but scored Moore for the two runs
of this inning.
Jacksonville then came beak when
Fiarito scored on a fluke play. Jack
sonville scored two more runs in the
* first half of the fifth when Leitz and
Stratton scored, mainly by virtue of
a triple by Leitz when Stratton
■walked. Savannah got back this de
linquency when they scored three
runs in their half of the seventh
when West singled, going down wh?n
Harris bunted. Moore, then got on
by an error on Dunbar at third, fill
ing the bases. Hines doubled scor
ing West and Harris .and was fol
lowered by McNeil who hit a long fly

s ALEX MORRISON says:
< Among the many explanations
for Bobby Jones’ high scores re
cently was a tip' from his friend,
Tommy Armour. Tommy to’d
. him that he should shorten his
swing, that he was getting into
(trouble through making a long
jbackswing.
| This tip is misleading. In the
first place a full backswing never
causes trouble. It’s the things
done after making the backswing
i that spoil a shot. For example,
’ you may feel that you have taken
J the club back too far and your
anxiety will cause you to lift your
J head, allow it to turn forward in
i the downswing. Obviously the
fault lies with your head, not the
backswing.
Perhaps the best reason a full
swmg can’t do you any harm is
the fact that action is the surest
> way to overcoming tension. This
.point about action is an absolute
! rule* one that applies to every
one, regardless of age or size. The
greatest advantage Bobby Jones
held over the field was his full
free swing, and he knew it. Many
I times he won by letting out in
stead of cutting down. >

1935 WAS FIRST
OFF YEAR FOR
FIARITO OF TARS
The season of 1935 marked the
first time in the history of his
baseball career that infielder Hank
Fiarito of the Jacksonville Tars
failed to place on the all-star team
of his league. Hank had an off-year
in the Southern, for his mark of
.288 is below his normal gait, and
had he been a little heftier with
the club he might have won the
utility job from Andy Reese of
Memphis.
After starring in high school and
semi-pro circles of Chicago, North
Platte of the Nebraska State Lea
gue offered Hank a contract in
1932, and the youngster snapped
it up. He was a big shot at third
base his first year, and won the
job on the all-star team without
any fuss. Unfortunately, the lea
gue statistician omitted his name
from the records, but last available
figures showed him batting .376
and leading in triples with 14.
Graduating to Zanesville of the
Middle Atlantic League for 1933,
he topped the loop in hitting at
several stages of the race and
wound up with .328.. His work,
both as an infielder and outfielder,
won him the berth on the all-star
team as utility player.
Next season he batted .310 and
again found his name on the all
star team in the utility slot Zanes
ville won the pennant both those
years and Hank played important
roles in the title series. In 1933 he
was tied for the best record in
driving in runs, and batted .300
in the play-off series.
Three all-star teams and two
pennants are a lot of honors crow
ded into Hanks comparatively
short career. He's not such a big
fellow, less than five feet, eight
filly won the race from a field of nine probable
Derby and Preakness candidates. Delphinium
(2) is second, Grand Slam, third. Owner Du

FLOATING LIBRARY USED
TO SERVE RESIDENTS
ALONG YAZOO RIVER
I MOBILE, Ala., April 22 (TP).—
The reading public of Leflore coun
ty, Miss., are now taking a stroll to
the river for their favorite newspa
per, magazine or book.
A young lady WFA library worker
sought a method by which she could
reach residents along the banks of
the Yazoo river. The district is not
approachable by highway.
The enterprising librarian fitted up
a small river houseboat, and piled it
high with reading material. Daily
she plies the stream, and daily her
list of customers grows. To many of
the natives it offers the first oppor
tunity they have ever had of seeing
a daily paper regularly. It’s made
the “book lady” one of the most im
portant personages on the Yazoo.
inches in height and weighing 160,
but he carries his diamond honors
well.
This year, Manager Ganzel of
the Tars plans to convert him into
a shortstop and he’ll probably
make a go of it. Hank fits any
where, so as it is baseball.
Fiarito was ’ rn on Christmas
day, 1914. in th& windy city of Chi
cago. Had therei been a stocking
hanging up for him’ on the mantle
of the Fiarito home, little Hank
would have wailed long and loud
< had it not been filled with baseball
parapharnalia, for the game al
t ways has been his ruling passion.
He also played some football and
basketball in high, but the diamond
sport comes first, last and midway

WOLVERINES DECLARED
FRIEND OF TIMBERLAND
SEWARD, Alaska (TP).
A Nuka Bay miner named Charles
Goyne is asking government oficlals
io do something about the slaughter
of wilverines by hunters.
Coyne insists unless the massacre
i of wilvcrinss is stopped, Alaskan tim-
I ber will suffer.
The miner explains it this way. The
wolverine is the only animal which
■ deesnt hit for parts unknown when
'he runs up against a uorcupine. Wolv
: erines like porcupine meat and they
have developed a painless method of
getting past that formidable quill arm- ’
or plate that the ‘ porkies'’ carry. |
However, with the decrease in wolve
rines, thrre is a corresponding increase
lin porcupines. These animals, says
Goyne, are ruining much forest grow
th by gnawing at the tender bark of
• young saplings.
