INDIANS ROUTED b> nuuuSi A IN FARCICAL SERIES OPENER; LINEUP REVAMPED FOR TODAY In a baseball farce yesterday at the atadlum, the Savannah Indians dropped a game to the Augusta club by the score of 9 to 2. Whether it was the new infield, or whether it was just a case of the boys having an off day, the team, accompanied b’/ a smmphony of mingled base hits on the part ot she north Georgia club, and sandlot errors on their part, played one of the sloppiest games that could be credited to a team. Even Eddie Moore and Zupanic seemed to have difficulty in getting together, and Zupanic, who usually save* the day when his teammates throw wild, was decidedly off his game. Little Eddie Moore, whose throws are invariably on the target had trouble keeping them in the park. All in all, the infield boys had one of those days that every ath lete knows and can’t explain, an “off day." The Augustans, behind the six-hit pitching of Evans, played tight ball and had the tribe always in check. Getting started in the second inning when after a perfect barrage cf er rors on the Indians part, they scored six runs. Cummings, first man up popped out. Dietz went to first on an Infield error, going to second on a wild throw mUsed by Zupanic. Adamaski got on base the same way when Moore took his grounder and threw wild, both Dietz and Adamski coming home on the throw. Evans singled, with Bennett getting on first by infield error. Johnson then singled, with Harper duplicating this GOLF FACTS • NOT THEORIES/ - . ALEX. J. MORRISON Central Ptw* AwuiciHtHni— I Z i Ctn-s'o6 O'. t J * w ‘ M 211 Number 917 I ALEX MORRISON says: You've heard so much about swinging from the inside out that you probably think that every club should be swung in this way. Well, clubs such as the mashie 'and niblick should be swung so that the clubhead cuts across the line of play from the Outside in. This doesn’t mean that you should make one swing for wood clubs and long irons, and an en* tirely different one for the lofted shots. The main difference is in the arrangement of your feet in relation to the line of play. Dis tance shots should find your feet placed in a square or slightly open stance. Lofted shots should find a line drawn over your toes running at approximately a 45 degree angle to the line of play. This angle is shown in the accompanying il lustration. Make your regular swing and change only your ’stance, and you'll get better re- ( suits with the mashie. Naxti Weekly Exercise No. 8.

This completed the rout, and with the exception of the eighth inning when they got two more runs, the Augustans were con tent to coast along on the margin that they had acquired. Garnering a total of 12 hits off Lowe, the southpaw hurling ace of the Indians, the Augustans played tight baseball behind their star, Evans and got off to the early lead and game. The hitting of McNeil, the left fielder for the Tribe, was the only redeeming feature of the local club. Getting three out ot four, a home run, three bagger and single, the elongated garden player appeared to not be worried one bit by the fielding miscues of his teammates. Lunak, who was switched to right field, put one in. the left field stands for the only other Indian run. There were no men on bases at the time of the two clouts. Manager Bill Gould stated yester day that he would revamp the local line-up today when he shifts Hines to third in place of Eliott, and takes Thomas out of Centerfield, putting Lunak in that particular spot, with Hargrove in the right field position. With the game starting at 3:30. the quiet-spoken manager was assured that today’s game would not be a repetition of yesterday’s farce.
