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.

GOLP FACTS NOTmTHEORIEs/* morr isonJ —Ontml Prvn A»ti»Hon—„i, TBa UP PAUL , - ON SMOOT HOLES at 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- ADD TO THE MILE OF DIMES THAT LEADS TO GOOD HEALTH full 'X \ ® COVERAGE liW TRANS ' local RAD, ° SPORTS VA - AB LEASED “ *TSte- ’ *• *" 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.
