TO LEAD MERMEN
RETURN OF MAJOR SWIM
MING TO CHATHAM
SEEMS ASSURED
The return of major swimming to
this section of the country seems as
sured through the announcement by
iTj. Fitzpatrick, manager of the Ho
tel Gen, Oglethorpe, that Samuel
Rhode, Jr., has been placed in
charge of the swimming team which
will represent bhe hotel in meets con
nected with ofaher sections of the
country.
Having an abundance of swimming
material here in the city it is not ex
pected that Mr. Rhode will have to
go out of the city in quest of new
faces to augment the present swim
mers who make Savannah their
home. With such aquatic stars as
McKenna, Bragg, Ellis, Bowyer,
Weeks, Neuberger, Holst, Anderson,
Reese and others on the scene, Sa
vannah’s hopes for a revamped swim
ming season will reach high expecta
tions according to swimming critics.
Having their first workout in the
nature of an exhibition this Sunday
at the Oglethorpe pool on Wilming
ton the team will be put through its
paces for the first workout together
since its inception. Being composed
of many High School stars an da
host of the Y. M. C. A. swimmers,
the team will have to concentrate on
the free style events .having a wealth
of speed in the breast and back stroke
races. Sonny Bragg, Buddy and Bert
Anderson will handle the reins from
the high diving boards. Savannah,
being fortunate in having the serv- ;
ice of these diving stars, does not an
ticipate trouble in any of the diving
low or high board exhibitions.
U. S. WOMEN LEAD
BRITISH GOLFERS
l
GLENEAGLES, Scotland, May 6
(TP). —The United States women’s
golf team is leading the British 2 1-2
points to 1 1-2, today at the end of

ney of Los Angeles defeated Pam Bar
ton and Mrs. J. S. Walker of Eng

ange, N. J., and Mrs. Opal Hill of
Kansas City lost to Mrs. Helen Holm
and Jessie Anderson, three and two.

REDSKIN’S PILOT DENIES
ANY NEW MEN ON WAY;
MAY SHIFT ELLIOTT
When interviewed this morning
as to the possibiity of making
changes in of the Red
skins, general manager Bob La
Motts stated that he was not con
sidering bring in any new outfiel
ders.
The Indians’ manager, seems to
be of the opinion that Elliot who
has been holding down the hot
corner, will make a better outfiel
der than a third sacker and La-
Motte plans to use him in the outer
garden hereafter. Elliot has been
hitting the apple at a fairly good
pace in the last few games and with
this new addition to the outfield
Savannah will have men in the out
field all of whom are hitting better
than 300.
Manager ‘Bob’’ aso let it be
known that he hau wired the Pit
tsburg club of the National League
to send him a class “B” pitcher as
soon as possible. It also seems that
LaMotte intend- to convert Har
grove into a pitcher. Hargrove has
been doing a nice job of relief pitch
ing in recent games and the Red
skin’s mentor seems to think that
he can be of more service to the
club on the mound than in the out
field. Hanly, a southpaw mounds
man who has been laid up for the
past few weeks will join the In
dians in Augusta on Sunday or
Monday stated Mr. LaMotte.

Tom Yawkey is convinced today
that it pays to spend money in the
baseball business.
Yawkey shelled out plenty to build
up ihia Boston Red Box into what is
termed a “million dollar team." pes
simists who shuddered at Yawkee’s
loose purse-strings are wondering to
day whether or not they may have
been wrong.
Yawkey’s Boston Red Sox are on
top of the American league heap,
with big gates reported at every

the Beantown boys is “Lefty” Groves’

NEW YORK, May 6 (TJ).—Rogers
Hornsby, manager of the St. Louis
Browns, anounced today that he had
traded Pitcher Merritt Cain to the
Chicago White Sox for righthander

ber of games, but lost two more than
Cain.

HEFTY FIELDER
HERO IN VICTORY
OVER COLUMBUS
HARRIS TWIRLS A SAFE
GAME BUT LOCALS ARE
SLOW IN STARTING
McNeill, hefty left fielder for the
Savannah Indians, yesterday wrote
his name into the records of Savan
nah’s sport history when he clouted
a homer with three on in the last
half of the ninth, to win a ball game
against Columbus by the score of 6
to 5. Coming up with Moore, Col
burn and Elliott on the bags as a re
sult cf a single and two walks, the
quiet spoken outfielder let the first
ball go by for a called strike. Judd,
the Red Bird pitcher then let one
go down the alley and McNeil, who
had gone hitless for the day, spanked
it over the right field bleachers for
a home run and the game.
Providing one of the most exciting
finishes ever seen in local baseball
the Indians yesterday put cn a
sparkling exhibition of defensive
baseball, providing good support be
hind Harris, their stellar hurler. Ex
cept for one inning, when the right
hander got in trouble and the Red
Birds nicked him for three runs, the
Mid Western star bore down suffi
ciently in crucial moments to save
his scalp.
The boys from the red clay hills
got started in the first inning when
M. Harris got a base on balls, ad
vancing to second when Gruzdis, so
the Hines-Gruzdis feud, was hit by i
a ball. Slaughter then hit a triple
into left field scoring the two men
on the bags. Tutaj, thrd sacker for
the Red Birds, grounded out to Col
burn, but Slaughter came in. Getting
one run in each of the next two in
nings, the Columbus boys were con
tent with the margin acquired.
Savannah got a couple of runs In
the third. Harris w'alked, Moore
singled. Colburn drove a hot one
down third base and Harris scored.
Elliott got a single over second
base. Broeckleman, new first sacker
for the tribe, then cut a big one scor
ing Colburn. The rally died at this
point when Lunak struck cut.
In the early moments of the game,
the Indians were disappointing with
the number of men that they last
tranded in scoring positions. Being
unable to provide the necessary
punch when a hit would mean a
run, they appeared to be listless and
at times alowed a third strike to go
by with their bats on their shoulders.
Playing heads up defensive ball, how
ever, bhe Tribe finally get going.
Tuckey, with a badly bruised left
hand, caught his usual stellar game
and showed the boys how to hit get
ting two out of four. One of his
drives hit Tutaj, third sacker for the

ALEX MORRISON says:
Mrs. Malcolm D. Scott 0 1
Brooklyn, pupil of mine, can’t un
derstand why I have instructed
her to use a brassie to drive with
instead of a driver. Mrs. Scott
has been playing only a short
time so that she knows nothing
of the pressure put on the player
when using a driver.
Most players are well acquaint
ed with this pressure but they
don’t like to admit its damaging
effect on their tee shots. When
an instructor suggests the use of
a brassie players feel that they’re
being deprived of something in
the way of distance and rating as
a player.
A good percentage of our lead
ing players make good use of tha
more lofted club off the tee. An
accurate record of the direction
and length of every shot hit with
the driver would cause thousands
of players to use the more lofted
club. Set aside your false pride
and craving for 300-yard drives
in favor of staying on the fair*
way.
