SAMMf RHODE, JR. 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.

PHONE 6183 —EARLY PLEASE BASES LOADED, McNEIL HITS HOMER IN NINTH AND INDIANS WIN, 6 TO 5 LAMOTTE CLAIMS INDIAN’S LINEUP IS NOW INTACT 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.

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 game in which the Boston team takes part. The latest triumph for the Beantown boys is “Lefty” Groves’ shutout victory against the Cham pion Detroit Tigers. The Bengals bowed under a 2 to 0 defeat yester day and the word in Boston today is —“Groves is hot again."

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 STUHLDREHER NAMES AIDES AT WISCONSIN MADISON, Wis., May 6 (TP).— Wisconsin’s new football coaching staff was completed today.

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.
