ALLIANCE-SPONSORED BOXING
I AMPIONSHIP BOUTS END AS
EIGHT BOYS AWARDED MEDALS
Savannah's first annual city box-1
ing championship last night ended ,
in a blaze of glory with the win- j
ners of the various divisions being
awarded their cups and medals. |
Sponsored by the Men’s Club of I
the Jewish Alliance, the bouts
were exciting throughout the pre-1
liminaries and the finals which
were held last night. A decided suc
cess, according to the versions of
the officials .this event which at
tracted the city’s finest boxers, will •
be an annual one.
Led by the Dinnerman-Morrissey
battle, the bouts last night ran true
to form with the veterans coming
out on top. Dinnerman, although he
won his battle over the stocky lit
tle Irishman, was unable to put
Pete out, because o.’ the crouch the
latter was fighting from. Defending
himself well, Morrissey appeared
to be well instructed as to how to
avoid the smashing left hand of
the Jewish battler.
Cocky Alpert, former AAU •
champion. had clear sailing with
Al Horusteln, and went on through
the bout taking an easy decision.
T!»3 veteran Herndon Pittman,
after coasting in the first round
came back with a vengeance in the j
second and third rounds of his,

cision. Appearing to be overly cau-

ALEX MORRISON says:
As the troubled sleeper looks
for the cause of his nightmares,
SO the golfer searches for the
point where he gets an overdose
of right side into his swing.
“Too much right’’ can start in
a million different ways. Once
started it sweeps like a raging
fire through the whole swing.
And it takes only a spark of en
couragement to put the strong
side in control.
Very often it’s hard to locate
the spark that started the uncon
trollable right. Such a spark oc
curs when the hands are being
placed on the club. Since it is
only natural to lead with and
favor the right hand, a player will
do so even though he intends to
favor and give most of his atten
tion to his left hand.
This leads to the habit of plac
ing the right hand on the club
first, a habit which may seem
harmless, but which really marks
the beginning of “too much
right”. Place your left hand on
the club first

tious, this bout-lacked some of the
excitement prevalent among the
lighter fighters. Caines won over
Counihan in an uneventful match.
Earl Spillers got off to a good start
in the first round of his match with
Tony Brown and won the decision
hands down. Brown taking the
place of Tony Kent whose hand
was injured, played a waiting game
which seemed to be made to order
for his rangy opponent. Babe Al
pert won the heavyweight honors
from Cranman, who obviously was
not in shape. Roy Spillers lost his
match with Nathan in one of the
most exciting matches on the card,
when these two boys got together.
Fighting on top of Spillers all
three rounds, Nathan appeared to
to relish the idea of Spillers get
ting set to use a left, and with this
in mind, kept inside of his tall and
rangy opponent.
The final winners were:
Jay Shoob, 105 pound division.
Cocky Alpert, flyweight,.
Irving Nathan, Bantam.
Harry Caines, Featherweight.
Earl Spillers, Lightweight.
Joe Dinerman, Welterweight.
Hendon Pittman. Light heavy
weight.
Babe Alpert, Heavyweight.

TRIBE PREPARING
FOR A LONG STAY
ON HOME PLOT
Returning to Savannah with a split
series against Macon in their record
books, the Indians will open their
home games for the present series
with a long stay during which they
will play seven games.
Opening today with the Augusta Ti
ers and then concluding with the
Columbus club, .the Indians, under
the watchful eye of Manager Bill
Gould hope to make up some of the
lost ground that they conceded on
the road trip. Tied for fourth place
at the present time with the Augus
tans, the Tribe will have a battle
royal today when the game starts at
3:30 o’clock.
Savannahians will witness the new
Indian hopefuls when Lunak, center
fielder; Tuckey, catcher, and Colburn,
second baseman will trot out their
wares for the first time on the local
diamond. Tuckey coming here with
a .310 average, is expected io make
the p«. v good down around the cen
ter sack, and with the combination
of Tuckey, Moore and Colburn click
ing, opposing runners will have a
hard job going down to second.
General Manager Bobby LaMotte
is optimistic that the club has its
needed players. Having followed them
closely durijg the road trip, the gen
ial ex-big leaguer expressed hopes
that there would not have to be any
other changes in the infield of the
tribe.
land grant colleges received salaries
of $5,193 and in 1934 of $4,187. Sal
aries of professors in thees same in
stitutions were cut from $4,278 in
1928 to $3,775 in 1935.
Giants’ catcher, awaits the ball, which, as you
can see, came too late. Even the umpire is
snapped in a tense pose.

LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 30 (TP).
President Jeff Davis of the Indi’.strial

very important announcement last

Davis said that word has gone out

Davis, “I can’t think of a better place

TRAINING CAMP
NEW YORK. April 30 (TP).—
Heavyweight contender Jce Louis will
pitch his training camp today at L*»
Fayetteville, N. Y. There he will be
gin the daily workouts that will lead
to the fight with Germany’s Max
Schmeling, June 18 in Yankee sta
dium. Schmeling is to open his
training camp at Napanoch, N. Y.,
within a few days.
Schmeling is reported bent on do
ing plenty of road-work, wood chop
ping and rope-jumping. Louis’ co
manager. Julian Black, is in New
York today to arrange the final train
ing grind that begins at Lakewood,
N. J., about May 12. Black says
Louis is fit as a fiddle after plenty
of baseball practice. That’s the
Brown Bomber’s hobby.
FOY DRAPER, captain of the
University of Southern California

fastest human in the world. He’s
rated as such in Olympic consider

If he gains the team. Foy will
no doubt enter either the 200-meter

is so heavy Foy may be the man
to run one of the four positions in

(By Transradio Press)
The type of airtight pitching usual
ly seen in sweltering August featur
ed the big league baseball show yes
terday.
St. Louis fans saw the standout
mound duel. The New York Giants
opened their Western invasion with
the veteran, Carl Hubbell, on the
mound. The St. Louis Cards banked
on Leroy Parmelee, the former Giant,
and their hopes were well-founded.
Parmelee beat Hubbell and the
Giants, 2 to 1, in a nip and tuck 17-
inning struggle. The ex-Giant held
his former teammates to six safeties.
Frankie Frisch’s gas house gang
touched Hubbell for 11.
In Chicago, the fans witnessed an
other A-l pitching exhibition when
Bill Lee twirled the Cubs to a 1 to 0
triumph over Van Mungo and the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Each hurler al
lowed only four hits, but Mungo let
the Cubs bunch three of theirs in
the fifth inning. It was Gabby Hart
nett’s blow that pushed over the win
ning tally.
Pittsburgh beat the Phillies, 10 to
9 nithe only other National league
game.
In the American league, Lefty Go
mez of the New York Yankees pitch
ed a three-hitter against the Cleve
land Indians for a 6 to 1 triumph.
The former International leaguer,
Duke Appleton, allowed only two hits
in hurling Washington to a 7 to 3
victory over the Detroit Tigers. Al
Simmons got two of those hits and
Charley Gehringer the other.
The Boston Red Sox beat Chicago
8 to 7, and the Philadelphia Ath
letics outscored the St. Louis Browns
7 to 4, in other American league
games.

GIVES HOME TEAM
A DIVIDED SERIES
P.ced by Elliott, the clouting third
baseman, and playing errorless tc.ll
behind Jake Levy, the veteran hurler
the Savannah Indians yesterday hung
up a 2 to 0 victory on the Macon
Peaches. Playing heads-up baseball,
the Tribe regained some of their lost
ground in the pennant race, when
they get to Hernandez for seven hits,
with the fireworks coming in the
third and fifth innings.
The Indians started the ball roll
ing in the third inning when Elliott
and West walked, advanced when
Levy laid a bunt down for a sacri
fice. Elliott then scored on a sin
gle by Eddie Moore.
Elliott later scored in the fifth in
ning on a single by Causier. This
concluded the run making for the In
dians and they were content to play
tight bal for Levy who was making
the Peaches behave every time they
faced him.
Marked by the hitting of Elliott,
who more than made up for his bob
bling in the second game of the se
ries ,the Indians were a vastly im
proved club over their former show
ings. Showing some of the finish ex
pected of them by their home root
ers, they will move into the Seacoast
city for a series with the Augusta
club.
