SHUTOUT WIN OVER TARS ACTS
AS SPUR TO SAVANNAH TRIBE;
PLAY SENATORS HERE THURSDAY
LA MOTTE CREW GIVE BRILLIANT EXHIBITION OF
OFFENSIVE, DEFENSIVE BASEBALL.
Finishing their series with Jackson
ville today in the Florida city, the
Indians hope to make it two straight
over the boys managed by Babe Gan
zel, vociferous third baseman for the
Tars. Coming here tomorrow to open
a three-game series with the Colum
bia Senators, the Indians hope tb
move higher in the league standing
by taking the team from South Caro
lina in short fashion.
Getting going yesterday behind the
sensational five-hit pitching of lanky
Bob Harris, stellar righthander for
the Tribe, the Indians played tight
baseball to back up their 4 runs,
gained in the last two innings, to
close the Jacksonville Tars out, 4
to 0. Their first victory smce they
hit the road, the Indians, played a
brilliant game, both defensive and
offensive, and finally started hitting
the ball in their half of the eighth
and nint to break up a pitchers duel
between Harr’s and Braun.
Helped along by the batting prow
ess of Coluburn and Elliott, whc
scalped Braun to the tune of twc
hits apiece, the Savannahians took
advantage of the breaks in the last
two innings and moved into a tie po
sition with Augusta for last place.
Harris, whose hurling has been the
talk of the league for the season,
more than lived up to his reputat>oi
when he let Ganzel’s aggregation
down to five hits, keeping them well
scattered, and at no time in scoring
position.

ALEX MORRISON says:
A practice harmful to both the
player’s swing and the golf course
is that of failing to u*e an arti
ficial tee on short holes.
Most players figure that they
can play the shot better without
using the wooden pegs and that,
since the ball is being hit with an
iron club, it is better to play H
off the turf where they can take
a divot. Such a procedure is
harmful to the player’s swing be
cause it gives him an extra job
to get the ball up off the turf.
By making use of a wooden
peg, no matter how low he tees
the ball he can swing with assur
ance that the ball will be lofted.
Hitting the ball off the turf ob
viously harms the course because
it doesn’t take many such shots
to ruin the teeing ground.
Most players indulging in this
practice are much too generous
with the divote they take. When
you can tee the ball as low as you
like with the artificial tee, and
there is no advantage in dispens
ing with this tee, there is little ex
cuse for a practice which damages
the course-

SAVANNAH GIRLS
VANQUISH GLYNN
LOCAL TENNIS WIELDERS
PULL BIG SURPRISE IN
4 TO 2 WIN
The Savannah High girl’s tennis
team pulled the proverbial rabbit cut
of the bag when they vanquished the
Glynn Academy team on the Bruns
wick courts to the score of 4-2. This
is the first time this has been done
this season. The Savannah girls had
the situation well under control at
all times, and the count stands now
at 1 and 1 1-2 matches each, it being
necessary that the winning club take
three out of five matches to be de
clared champions.
The next matches will be staged
in Savannah, within the next week.
They will bring the tennis wars to
a head with the probable outcome for
the entire match championship as a
result.
Singles matchy yesterday:
Evelyn Nathan, Savannah, defeated
Betty Royall, Brunswick, 8-6,6-2,6-4;
Margaret Dutton. Savannah, lost to
Mary Andrews, Brunswick, 10-8, 6-4;
Edna Richardson, Savannah, defeated
Mary Dowling. Brunswick, 7-5, 2-6,
6-4; Caroline Woodruff, Savannah, de
feated Gen Goodyear, Brunswick, 6-3,
6-1.
The doubles matches were split by
the two teams with the Dutton,
Nathan team of Savannah taking the
measure of the Glynn Academy duo,
6-2 in a match called on account of
darkness. The Brunswick girls how
ever, had won the first match when
the team of Dowling and Goodyear
won from the Savannh team, Rich
ardson and Woodruff, 8-6, 0-6, 5-7.

NEW YORK, May 13 (TP).—A ca
pacit ycrowd is almost guaranteed at
Brooklyn's Ebbets Field today. Rabid
Flatbush fans will be out in full
force in the hopes of seeing a con
tinuation of the fistic feud between
Casey Stengel, pilot of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, and Leo Durocher, short
stop and captain for the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Casey and the younger Durocher
tangled in a battle staged under the
grandstands after yesterday’s battle
which went to the Dodgers by a 5
to 2 score. Baseball fans from the
Gowanus Canal district hope that to
day’s game will bring round two of
the bout.
In other National league games
played yesterday, the New York
Giants downed the Chicago Cubs, 5
to 4; the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
Boston Bees were t’ed at 6-all in the
10th inning when the shades of night
descended, and the Cincinnati Reds
tok over the Philadelphia Nationals,
6 to 4.
American league games saw the
Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red
Sox, 5 to 0 and the St. Louis Browns
end their long losing streak by beat
ing the New York Yankees, 5 to 0.
The game between the Washington
Senators and the Chicago White Sox
and the Philadelphia-Cleveland game
were rained out.
In the Sally League, down in Jack
sonville, the Savannah Indians fin
ally hit their stride and shut the
Jacksonville Tars out, 4 to 0. Featur
ed by the 5 hit performance of Bob
Harris, the Indians came out of the
undisputed cellar position to go into
a tie with Augusta for the uncoveted
position. Augusta, meanwhile, lest a
heartbreaker to the fast flying Red
Birds of Columbus in the latter’s
home city. Scoring five runs in the
seventh to wipe away the slender mar
gin of victory the Tigers had built up,
the Cardinal farm furtrer built up
their league lead. The score finally
wound up at 8 to 5. In the last game
of the circuit, the Macon Peaches
continued their pennant drive with
Maltzberger, their prize rookie right
hander winning hard game against
the Columbia Senators, 3 to 1. A pro
test to b? aired before President Wil
der of the circuit, was filed by Josh
Billings, manager of the Senators on
a play in which Sorenson of ?the
Peaches was the heard figure.
