he was to give the other part of it
... it was a peach of a deal for Am
sey, who is known in the ring as
Young Joe Gans . . Walter Hagen is
going to Africa next winter for an
exhibition tour . . Mike Jacobs is
building a $50,000 bowl to fit into

at S4O per head . . . construction
is in progress in a Long Island lum
ber yard, the saucer being built in
pieces that will be hooked together
in the stadium infield . . . after the
fight Mike will store his folding fight
bowl until the next big setto.

FANS EAST of California didn’t
hear much about Lee Elbert Stine
until one day in 1933 when he took
to the box twice in one day to turn
back the Sacramento club by iden
tical scores. Stine was with San Fran
cisco in the Pacific Coast league then.
Today he’s a rookie slabster for the
Cincinnati Reds.
Stine, a six-foot, right-handed hurl
er who wie’ds a wicked bat as a side
line, served two years with the Seals
and then put in a year each with
Milwaukee and St. Paul of the Amer
ican Association. His record with the
Association clubs (he won 17 for
Milwaukee and 18 last year for St
Paul) earned him his major league
chance
The White Sox tried him out first.
t No go, they said, but Stine's record
. with St. Paul -.aught the eye of Lar
ry MacPhail, Red’s general manager,
and Lee appears ready to stick this
year. H? has shown so much prom

The ex-busher expects io win plenty

After Brilliant Home Stand;
Crush League Leaders 10-2
INSPIRED BY WORK OF “OLD MASTER’* JAKE LEVY ON

BATS; MOORE STARTS FIREWORKS
- ... - f
Spurred on by their victory over
the league leading Columbus Red
Birds yesterday at the Stadium, the
Savannah Indians moved on to Au
guesta today, high in the expecta
tions of taking the Augustans over the
proverbial hurdle to avenge the square
series in their last home games.
Going to work with a vengeance
yesterday the Savannah Indians mas
sacred the Columbus Red Birds yes
terday in a free hitting spree, 10-2.
Behind the nine hit performance of
Jake Levy, stellar hurler for the Tribe,
the local boys garnered a total of 12
hits off the combined offerings of
Kamp and Barrett. Featured by two
triples on the part of Lunak, Indian
centerfielder and Eddie Moore, fast
stepping short stop, the Indians had
the game in the bag from the very
first inning when they pushed across
six runs.
MOORE STARTS FIREWORKS
Moore got the ball rolling when
he singled to third, going to second
when Colburn got a scratch hit.
Lunak bunted one down third base,
filling the bags. Hargrove, the lanky
right fielder for the Tribe then caught
a fast one r<d singled into right
field, scoring Colburn and Lunak.
Moore was walked in by McNeil. It
was at this point that Kamp was
relieved by a right hander, Barrett.
Hines laid one down short-stop and
was out on first but McNeill scored.
Jake Levy, to the accompaniment of
cheers from the stands, made a clean
single through second scoring Hines.
Colburn finally struck out to retire
the side. Scoring again in the second,
"ixth and seventh innings, the In
dians played heads up ball and al
though there were three errors on the
part of the locals, Hines making two,
the issue was never in doubt, as the
Tribe started slamming the ball to
the four corners of the lot.
Columbus got a tally in the sixth
when Slaughter singled, and scored
on a hit by Bremer and two wild
throws by Hines. Another run for the
Red Birds was chalked up in the next
inning when Healy singled, and scor
ed on a hit by M. Harris.
LEVY INSPIRES TEAM
Playing smart baseball before the
crowd of 1000 paid admissions the
Indians more than justified their
rooters fondest hopes and played in
spired baseball behind Jake Levy.
The took the league leaders for the
proverbial ride. Scooping them up
from all angles and whipping them
across to Broeckleman, the fast-mov
ing Indian infield showed they have
a smoothworking combination.
Lunak, slim centerfielder for the
Tribe, got to the offerings of Barrett
PAGE THREE
for three out of five. Two triples and
a single more than fattened the bat
tin°' average of this newcomer, while
his teammates, Eddie Moore and
Jake Levy got two out of four.
Savannah opens a three game
series with the Tigers today. Break
ing evening m their last setto here,
the India ar more than hope to make
up for the losing of the first two
games to the men of Troy Agnew.

ALEX MORRISON says:
A sure way to spoil any shot is
o close the clubface before im
act. I say before impact because
t may not close until you get
nto your downswing, but gener
illy it closes in the earlier stages
>f your swing. In fact/ movies
;f your swing would show that it
'oses as you start the club back
-n the ball.
This closing may be caused by
one of a hundred things, all of
which result in the right side tak
ing charge of the swing. I’ve
found that it isn’t enough to tell
a player to prevent the right side
from dominating and to keep the
left side in control—he must be
given something which will enable
the weaker side to dominate.
Here is a move that has proved
very effective. As you start the
club away from the ball, rub the
back of the clubhead along the
turf. This tends to open the
clubface; certainly it keeps it
from going back closed. After
you have practiced this for a time
you’ll notice more left hand in
your swing, with a general im
provement that always accom
panies left side domination.
