for the Savannah High aquatic stars

a segregation from Atlanta in the
final swimming meet of the aeason
for the Bluejackets. To be staged in

meet promises to beof particular in
terest to the other section of the
State.
Led by Sonny Bragg, the Jackets
will boast a diver who won the GIAA
championship in Atlanta last month.
Showing the form which has marked
his diving success in Southern diving
circles for the past three years, the
husky ten foot artist hopes to run
away with the diving honors in this
last meet. Supporting the popular
diver will be Hartnoil, a veteran,
whose consistency in the point col
umn is an added help to the club.
John McKenna, breast stroke star,
who placed with Bragg in the GIAA
meet, will handle the reins for the
breast stroke events. In tip top shape,
the dour star is hoping for a record
smashing attempt to wind up his
scholastic work in Savanna. Also to
swim in McKenna's events will be I
little Douglas Richards, who can be '
counted on to break into the point !
winning tabulations.
Elmo Weeks, whose inexperience
has cost him a number of races this
past season will be in the pool trying
to get going in the back stroke event.
Hoping to overcome the jinx which
has so consistently dogged his trail
the elongated swimmer has been
training steadily for the past two
weeks.
Starting at 3:30 the meet promises
to be concluded at 5:30 with the
diving events being the last on the
program.

SONNY WORKMAN
By Central Press
ONE OF the most consistent among
the veterans of the saddle is Ray
mond (Sonny) Workman, rider for
Cornelius V. Whitney’s Greentree
stable.
Workman used to be known as one
of the greatest riders of two-year-olds
on the turf. Lately he has had to
battle increasing weight which kept
him out of the saddle in many impor
tant races.
Seven years ago Workman won
one of the richest races ever run In
the world, the Belmont Futurity. He
brought in Whichone for a purse
of $105,730. Only the Santa Anita
handicap has exceeded that amount
In first prize money.
Not many jockeys have won the
Futurity twice, but two years after
winning with Whichone, Workman
came first unde! the ire with Top
Flight. The ride that Workman gave
the Whitney colt in that race is re
garded as one of the jockey master
pieces of modern times.

By WALTER JOHNS
(Central Press.)
EARL CALDWELL-
ST. LOUIS BROWNS
A PITCHER WITH plenty of con- j
trol, effectiveness and boasting of a
good minor league record—that's
Earl W. Caldwell, right-handed rokoie
sligner with the St. Louis Browns.
Manager Rogers Hornsby has been
badly in need of pitchers. That’s why
Earl is being given his third chanc:
in the majors—he was up before with
the Brownies and once with the
Phillies. To date, Earl has pitched
in several games but hasn’t shown to i
advantage. However, Hornsby thinks
he will improve to become one of the
Browns’ better pitchers.
Not a Chicken
Earl is a Texan, and not a young- j
ster. He was bom in Sparks, Tex., in
1905. A big fellow, over six feet, he
first began to fool batters when he
hurled for Holland High school in the
Lone Star state. Next he appeared at '
Thorp Spring college, getting his first
professional contract in 1926 witr
Waco.
From Waco he went on to Albany,
Ga.. and then to the Phillies in 1928. I
Back to Waco and in the Brownie I
camp in 1930. No go there, so he
again went to Waco. The next stop
was milwaukee. and then San Antonio
of the Texas league. Pitching for
Santone in 1934 and '35. he was pick
ed up by the Browns at the fag end
of last summer.
With the Browns at the end of 1935
Earl pitched three wins and two
losses, one of his wins being a three
hit game against the champion

CHICAGO, May 22 (TP)—The
squabble between Dr. E. C. Allen of
the University of Kansas end the
National Amateur Athletic Union has
flared up again.
From Lawrence, Kansas, Dr. Alien
renewed an attack he made sevrea
weeks ago. The university official de
clared today that there was no need
for the A- A. U. to exist.
Allen said—" The A. A. U. owns
nothing. It merely exercises a squat
ter's right of belonging to the In
ternational Olympic body."
A. A. U. officials retorted that
Allen was a trouble maker. The ath
letic body's answer to Alien’s charge
that A. A. U. officials are Olympic
hitch-hikers, chiseling their way to
Europe on other people’s money was
brief.”
It was—“ Allen is accusing us of
what he himself tried to do.”

ther last series with Savannah in the
seacoast town, the Peaches pounded
out a barrage of 17 hits to go back
into fourth place, one-half game
ahead of the Indians. The Savannah
Indians meanwhile journeyed to Co
lumbia and were handed a bitter
dish when they dropped a 9-6 de
cision to the Senators. Giving their
new hurler, Kasky, a chance on the
mound, the former Eastern pitcher,
let the Senators down with ten hits,
but his teammates were not bunch

fell to with a vengeance and broke
the winning streak of the Columbus

the league at large that Jacksonville
is definitely out for the league lead

string hurler, Kowalik.
President George Nugent of the

UNDER 96 DEFEAT
OUT FOR REVENGE
TRIBE WILL SEEK DOUBLE
WIN TODAY IN CONTEST
WITH SENATORS
Smarting under the 9-6 defeat
handed them last night in Columbia,
the Savannah Indians will out
for two wins today in a double-head
er, one game to l?ke place *'is aft
ernoon and the other tonight, with
the avowed intention of knocking
the Senators from the high perch
they occupy in league standing.
Dropping back to fifth place by
virtue of the defeat, the Indians will
pitch Bob Harris this afternoon and
Jake Levy in the night set-to, in an
effort to regain lost ground. Etten,
the heavy hitting gardener showed
his class to the league when he led
the Indian batters to the tune of
three out of four.
Drop to Fifth i.
The Savannah Indians dropped
down into fifth pl'ee yesterday when
they dropped a 9-6 set-to to the Co
lumbia Senators in the South Caro
lina capitol. Hitting the ball freely,
the Tribe shwed their old fault of
being unable to provide the punch
necessary to score runs on bases.
Gamering 11 hits off Higbe, tha
southpaw Senator hurler, the In
dians were led by Etten, who collect
ed three out of four to lead the In
dian parade.
Columbia got going in the fourth,
fifth and eighth innings when they
accounted for the runs that wiped
out Savannah's early lead, and
caused them to forge ahead. Getting
to Kaeby. new Indian hurler, for a
total of 10 hts, the Columbgus hurl
er, Higbe, led the spectacular feats
of the game when he bagged a ho
mer over the Centerfield fence.
