HUSKIES FlßST—Upsettinf California Olympic hopes, Washing ton’s varsity craw wins dual regatta on Lake Washington. INDIAN OUTFIELDER WAS RUNNERUP IN CIRCUIT HONORS BUT SAT IN THE CELLAR ON BATTING AVERAGE One of the freakiest records of the 1935 season in organized base ball belongs to Outfielder Murrell McNeill of the Savannah Indians. McNeill, a bit late in starting his professional career, spent most of last season with the Abbeville Atbetice of the Evangeline League where he compiled his unique re cord. Mao batted exactly .253 for the season. To be brutally frank, that isn’t a mark that would keep an outfielder on the payroll for any great length of time. The strange part of it is that Mc- Neill, with that low average, al most won the home run crown of the league. He hit 17 circuit wal lops, which one less than the leaders. Cecil Dunn of Alexand ria who batted .359 to pace the loop, and Frank Bartelli of Rayne who hit .286. Dunn’s average was 106 points better than MacNelll’s, yet the latter gave him a torrid race for the homer honors. It was just one of the phenomena of base ball. There must have been a lot of punch or promise of it in the bat of McNeill last summer for Man ager Jlmtny VorLoff Kept him a round despite his comparitively low average On top of that, Manager Pudgy Gould of the Indians Inserted him in the clean-up position at the start of the Sally race this year. Can you Imagine a .253 hitter In the clean-up slot? There’s just one answer. McNeill must be a far better hitter than his 1935 average indicates, and perhaps he packs a wallop that means runs and will assert itself this year. Mac is something of a versatile chap, for at Abbeville last year when the third sacker went down with an Injury, he jumped in and took care of the hot spot during the emergency. McNeill will be 26 years old Naughty! Naughty! LINCOLN, Neb., April 24 (TP) Two professional grapplers have just been barred from the ring for “conduct unbecoming a gen tleman.'* The Nebraska Ath letic commission said “Bull” Martin of Boston and “King Kong” Cox of California play too rough. The referee who report ed the boys said they forgot all about wrestling and began knock ing each other about. “Their con duct,” said the referee, “was something shocking. I threw them out of the ring.” GOLF FACTS NOT THEORIES/ ALEX. J. MORRISON • Cefltrwl Prw mn 1 i 1 HTTTINtS posrr, °* 3 Number 911 ALEX MORRISON says: Volumes have been written about what you are supposed to be doing as you hit the ball. Space does not permit me to deal with even a few of these misleading suggestions. You should do but one thing as your clubhead meets the ball, and that is to avoid interrupting the smooth swing you have been mak ing. Avoiding interruption in the hitting area is a big contract. Above all things it means skip ping any anticipation of the mo ment of impact. In other words, you should not be conscious of any such point in your swing. As far as you are concerned there is no such point. When there is, you spoil the shot by whatever preparation you try to make. You can practice avoidance of interruption in the hitting area by concentrating on your chin. Try to turn your head to the right and keep your chin pointed back of the ball until well after the ball has been hit. You can be sure of doing this only when you can count one, two, three before look ing up. Next week, the finish of the swing. June 19. He’s pretty well past the age when young men are just starting out In professional ball, but this game is one for those who can deliver, and there will be no counting birthdays if he can show the stuff. He is a native of Gurley, Ala., but now makes his home in Rives, Tenn. A righthander all around, he stands an inch better than six feet and tips the beams to 178 pounds. SAVANNAH BOXERS TO MEET MARINES HERE NEXT MONTH It was announced today that a series of team boxing matches be tween the Parris Kland Boxing Team and a team of amateurs represent ing the city of Savannah will lie held in thia city and Parris Island in the middle part of May. The Leathernecks fresh from a tour of the Southeast will attempt to wrest from the Savannah team, which competed in Jacksonville, the laurels won while invading the sunny state. Little being known at this early date of the names of the boys com posing both teams, it is expected that the bouts wlil be staged under AAU auspices in order to have the matches conform strictly to amateur standards. Permission will be sought from San'Mel Rhode, Jr., AAU Com missioner to stage the bouts, and it is understood that there will be no complications. Lieut. Donnelly of the United States Marines Corps, who is head ing the Leatherneck group, will send eight fighters over, who will be in every group of class weights. Little having been ascertained concerning the calibre of the Marine fighters it is a general conceded fact that they will have a scrapping group who will try and take the measure of the boys from Chatham. Larry Kenecht, whose battles in Jacksonville, and who is 1935 South eastern AAU lightweight champion, will be the mainsta yof the Savannah team. Transferred to Fort Screven the first part of the year, Larry is in fine mettle for the coming fights. BECKERS WIN IN ERRORLESS GAME Continuing their winning streak, the strong Beckers softball team de feated the John G. Butler team in an errorless game, marked with ex cellent fielding, and a few scattered hits ending in a 3 to 2 vietcry for the Beckers. W«lte, left fielder for the Eutler’s was the outstanding player as he covered the field excellently, snar ing several long flys that were label led for home runs. He had an un cany ability to get under the ball, and snared several on the very tips of his fingers. The fielding on the part of both teams were error les, the fielders not permitting balls to go through .holding hits to a minimum.

With the time of the meet being called at 8:30, Sa vannah's swimming season will be to a flying start with he aquaic bat tle of these two star clubs. Critics state that Sam Williams, coach for the Blue Jackets, is at tempting a gamble on meeting the quintet cf stars composing the Y aggregation: Reese, Anderson, Bow yer, Powell, and Rhode. With years of swimming wars behind them, this small group of men swimmers will go into the dashes and diving events determined to hang a defeat on the boys from the Northside school. John McKenna, and Sonny Bragg seem to be the best bet of the Blue Jackets. With John McKenna han dling the brast stroke assignment, he wil be ably assisted by his alter nate, Douglas. Bragg is the stellar diving ace who copped the G. I. A. A. crown last year, but will meet his strongest opposition of his diving ca reer when he competes against the duo of Y divers, Reese and Anderson. Other Jacket swimmers Include Weeks, Jesup, Elis, and Neuberger. Pcwell, Bowyer and Rhode are to handle the free style events for the Y clb. T o swim every free style event with only three men, these men these boys will have the weight of the meet on their shudders. Pow ell will take care of the short dashes with Rhode and Bowyer handling the longer events. The funds derived from this meet will be used entirely to send the High school team to Atlanta for com petition in the G. I. A. A. tourna ment, and it is expected that fans will turn out in sufficient numbers to give the boys a good start.
