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. The box score: SAVANNAH AB. R. H. PO. A.

And Little Old Man Os The Ring Rnt wii ill Olli RECORD CROWD TO SEE CLEVER LITTLE BATTLERS MIX; JIMMY 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 SPORT CELEBS By Central Press 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 In yj I ’-z ll®. ■ >4- "• : 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. ■■ 111. - ■ —■ . >I. 11l ■I ■■ II ■II I ■ VISIT DUGGER’S ALL KINDS OF EATS & YOUR FAVORITE DRINK Moore Ave. &.

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.

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. I
