INDIANS SCALPED
BY AUGUSTA, 7-2;
’ TO SEEK REVENGE
CLUBS MEET AGAIN TODAY
WITH CELLAR BERTH
AS THREAT
r ..
TO® Savannah Indians will try to
took® up for their defeat yesterday
by the Augusta Tigers, when they go
to the diamond wars with the boys
from the red clay hills again today.
With Manager BIN Gould on the
mound, the boys from Chatham will
vie with the Tigers for the question
able glory of occupying the cellar
position.
In a game featured by a wild first
inning, the Augusta Tigers took the
Savannah Indians into camp yester
day by a 7-2 score. Getting four runs
in the first inning off the slants of
Calvin Lowe, the Augustans had the
game in the bag for the rest of the
distance. Scoring again in the third
and fifth innings, the Tigers only
augmented their final score, because
the lack of scoring punch failed to
get the Indians in any dangerous ter.
rltory
Getting to Lefty Johnson in the
last inning, the Indians put two runs
across the platter as a result of a
pass Issued to Moore, advancing to
second on the next play when Col
burn hit a hot drive and got to first.
Elliott, right fielder, then caught a
fast one and nailed a three bagger
Into right field, scoring both Moore
and Colburn.
Hargrove, the converted right field
er took the mound for the Indians
after Lowe was sent to the showers
in the first inning. Going the rest
of the distance with a total of seven
hits and three runs, the righthander
is showing promise of becoming a
good pitcher and addition to the In
dians permanent pitching staff.
Broeckelman, thel anky first base
man for the Tribe got 2 out of 4, one
hit a double, with Lunak duplicating
the same feat. Leading the hitting
for the Indians, these two fielders
were the only Redskins to get to the
offerings of Johnson, the Tiger ace.

PARRIS ISLAND - SAVAN
NAH BOUTS POSTPONED
UNTIL MAY 22ND
It was announced last night by the
AAU that the date for the Parris
Island-Savannah boxing matches,
originally scheduled for May 18, have
been postponed until May 22. Being
unab’.j to come over to the city be
daiu of having to participate in
matches on the firing range, the Ma
rines will arrive in savannah on the
21 of May.
Llcuttemnt Donnelly, in his last dis
patch to the papers, stated that his
middleweight would be the class of
the show. A former Golden Glove
participant, his opponent for this city
will have his hands full in the three
rounds allowed under AAU rules. No
names have been released and little
is known of both the Savannah and
Marine teams. It is expected that
Larry Knecht will head the Savannah
aggregation with his lightweight fight
ing ability. An ex-AAU star, this boy
has been continuing his fighting since
he has been stationed at Fort Scre
ven. and has high hopes of pinning a
defeat on the Marine®.
Brigadier General Berekeley stated
that he would accompany the team
with the official staff from the Island,
and the probable hopes that the Ma
rine Corps band will be here, are
high.

team coached by Samuel Rhode, Jr.,
will have its first workout as a unit.
Boasting a number of boys who have
made names for themselves in the
aquatic sun, the team will be an at
tempt to occupy the niche formerly
held by Savannah in Southern swim
ming circles in past years.
The y MCA and Savannah High
clubs will be well represented with
such names as Bert Anderson, Buddy

a steadying hand for the youngsters,
the veterans of the Y team will prove
an aaaed help to the task Mr. Rhode
has in front of him to mold the team
into a winning aggrgation.
Starting at 3:30 the team will enter
into a lengtry workout which will
be followe by a swimming exhibition
for the benefit of the spectators who
will line the pool. Diving from the
high platform and low s.nd high

RULES 7-5 FAVORITE OVER TONY
NEW YORK, May 8 (TP).—A crowd
that will pa ok the house to the raft
ers is expected tonight when two
clever little ring veterans crawl
through the ropes at Madison Square
Garden.
One of tonight’s principals will be
Jimmy McLarnin, one-time king of
the welterweight roost. The other
will be Tony Canzoneri, lightweight
champion of the world.
Although the early odds are 7 to 5
in favor of McLarnin, there are plenty

THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES
might have had the services of one
of bastbail s most valuable players,
Joe Cronin But after a tryout in
1925 and 1927, Cronin was bundled
up and shipped to Kansas City, where
in 1928, the Senators grabbed him.
Clark Griffith never made a fox
ier transaction than when he pur
chased Cronin from the Blues. After
Cronin managed the Senators to a
pennant in 1933, he was sold, in

JOE CRONIN
1934, to the Boston Red Sox at a
price reported to be $250,000.
Joe was born Oct. 12. 1906, in San
Francisco. Scout Joe Devine, who
seems to be an expert at discovering
shortstops, sent him up for trial with
the Pirates in 1925. After being farm
ed to Johnstown and New Haven,
Cronin was sold ot Kansas City. When
Washington acquired Cronin, Manag
er Bucky Harris gave the youngster
every chance to make good, telling
Joe he was going to play regularly
even if he didn't hit a loud foul all
season. Joe rewarded Bucky’s judge
ment by becoming the best short
stop ana one of the most dangerous
hitters in the American league.
Cronin was injured early this year
when a line drive fractured his right
thumb and he has been managing
the hustling Red Sox from the bench.
who insist that the Baby-Fac?d Irish
man will come out second best tonight
when he meets the curley-headed
Italian.
McLarnin has a weight advantage,
but has fought only three times since
January, 1934. Tony, on th? other
hand, has fought and won twenty
three fights in that time and is back
ed by the boys who maintain that a
fighter can’b afford to take vacations
if he expects to keep on top form.
Both men are undoubtedly past their
prime, but both should pack plenty of
punches into tonight’s battle.
Jimmy and. Tony both like to mix
it up and the crowd that jams into
Madison Square Garden tonight has
good reason to txpect a hurricane of
leather when the pUr meet, head-on,
giving away ten pounds in weight, as
at the opening gong.
In meeting McLarnin, Tony is
giving away ten pounds in weight,
as Jim probably will weigh 146.
LOSES, COMES BACK
The name of the little New Orleans
Italian, who started fighting away
back there in 1925 when Calvin Cool
idge was president, has to be placed
in the books alongside that of Gans
and Leonard. He is the most active
champian the ring has seen in a dec
ado, except possibly Freddie Miller,
the featherweight king.
Six years ago Canzon-eri knocked out
Al Singer in a round to win the light
weight title. Three years ago Tony
lost the title io Barney Ross. His fail
ure to beat Ross in a return bout did
not stop him. He kept right on fight
ing the Klicks, Locatellis and Dublln
skys as fast as they came along, and
making them like It, too.
TRAINS BY FIGHTING
Two years ago when Ross retired as
lightweight champion because of in
ability to make the weight, Tony
stepped back Into the office. The New
York boxing commission decided the
title should go to the winner of the
Oanzoneri-Amberi bout last year. Am
bers had been coming along swiftly,
and was regarded as almost a cinch
against the apparently fading Tony.
But Canzonet! crossed up the sharp
shooters once more by tying the Her
kimer Hurricane into bow knots. And
since beating Ambers he has won
from Klick twice, Bobby Pacho, Joe
Ghnouley and Al Roth. During the
last seven weeks, keeping it. condi
tion by fighting at the smaller New
York fight clubs, Tony has knocked
out Billy Hogan, Toots Barbara, Bres
cia Garcia and Steve Halaiko.
McLARNIN’S AMBITION
McLarnin has been showing much
of his old form in workouts. The
Baby Face is getting along in years,
too. He will be 30 next December,
but he doesn’t look upon the Oanzo
neri engagement as “the Kid’s last
fight.” Another battle with Ross to
whom he lost the welterweight title
last May, is uppermost in his mind.
McLarnin wants vindication. He points
out that he has boxed forty-five
rounds with the Chicago champion
without taking a decisive beating and
he feels he can repeat his 1934 victory
over Barney if given another chance.
This time Jimmy will have one more
in the crowd rooting for him to win.
His bride will see him fight for the
first time.

BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, May 8 (TP).—Base
hits of assorted sizes rattled through
the big league ball parks yester
day with a regularity embarrassing
to high salaried hurlers. Pitchers
had a bad day. Their speed balls
looked as big as pumpkins over the
plate—if the number of basehits lined
out is any way of judging
Billy Herman’s tenth inning double
scored the run that gave the Chicago
Cubs a 9 to 8 triumph over the Bos
ton Bees. It was a wild, slam-bang
hitting affair that saw nine pitchers
take the mound. Chuck Klein and
Frank Demaree poled homers for the
Cubs. Gene Moore hit a circuit wal
lop for the Bees.
The Brooklyn Dodgers made a
dozen hits in beating the Cincinnati
Reds, 7 to 4, Pittsburgh’s Pirates
smashed over five runs in the sixth
Inning to down the New York Giants
6 to 2. In the only low scoring game
of the day, the St. Louis Cards put
over two rims in the eighth to beat
the Phillies, 3 to 2.
In the American league, Jimmy
Foxx hit his seventh and eighth hom
ers as the Bosto Red Sox walloped
th® St. Louis Browns, 9 to 6. The
Chicago White Sox collected 12 safe
ties in drubbing the Washington Sen
ators, 11 to 6
The New York Yankees beat the
Detroit Tigers, 6 to s—thanks to
Catcher Bill Dickwey’s powerful
work. Dickey’s two home runs ac
counted for five of the Yankee tal
lies. Cleveland and Washington each
got nine hits in a game that went
to the Indians, 4 to 3.

LEAD TO WIN 17-8
Four circuit wallops,, together with
1000 per cent batting by two ball
chasers, gave the Savannah Daily
Times softball team a 17 to 8 victory
over the Bay Street River Rate yes
terday.
Undaunted by the prospects of an
eight-run lead in the first inning, the
Times’ team stood behind the fault
less pitching of Johnny Barnes to
keep the BfVgr Rats scoaeleas for the
rest of the gj.me.
Both outfits played errorless ball.
Three Times’ players rang the bell
with four-base hits. Allen, the long
limbed pi-maker, knocked the ball
out of the lot twice, while his team
mates, BlUe and Bond, blasted out
one homer apiece.
Lanier and Blake of the Times’
squad were honor men in batting,
vjth four hits each out of four tries.

Ralph G. Blodgett of Buffalo,
N. Y., originally came to me gs
a pupil, but recently he has been
serving as an assistant. In addi*
tion to numerous private lessons,
I give instruction to several large
groups. While lam patting part
of the class through exercises to
take the kinks oat of their swings,
I allow the more advanced pupils
to hit balls in the driving net.
Blodgett being a keen student
and a very close observer often
supervises the advanced pupils’
practice. His observations are
most helpful to the pupils. For
example, he pointed out that one
player tilted his head toward the
right instead of keeping it in a
vertical position.
This tilting caused the player
to hit the ground behind the ball.
It’s a fault common to many play
ers. Have someone watch your
head, make sure that it remains
in a vertical position throughout
your swing.
Next: Perfecting the Swing.
