B y WALTER JOHNS (Central Press.) 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.

Indians Off For Augusta After Brilliant Home Stand; Crush League Leaders 10-2 INSPIRED BY WORK OF “OLD MASTER’* JAKE LEVY ON THE MOUND LOCAL RED SKINS WIELD HEAVY 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. Box score: COLUMBUS AB. R. H. PO. A.

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. * Next: Wrist Action*
