JES’ ROLLIN’ ALONG!
(With Sports Observer)
Remember the knights of the roar
h-.? road, whose antics on the half
n-tie track at the fair ground used to
-g’ck ’em In on the racing days of
' s old Georgia Sate Fair? Was
< sting here the other night and
r eked up the paper and noticed
here Bill Cummings, Babe Stapp
tnd a host of other drivers were get
ting ready for their annual assault
on the Indiananolis track, and natu
rally I began to check up in my
mind as to what the old Savannah
dirt track artists were doing today
znd what they finally settled down
to. Dewey Tidwell, whose feats with
the Lincoln special and the Curtis
Airplane Special thrilled many of the
hangers-on, is proprietor of a store
up in the sticks and although ch’s is
a far cry from a half mile track.
Dewey is known to drive just as hard
on a bargain with a farmer, as he
did when he wheeled a speed chariot.
Then there is Leonard Buckner,
whose feuds with Cutcliffe of Essex
frme are revered by Savannah sports
ren. Well, Buckner Is working for
the Ford People in Jacksonville now,
/nd your writer had the pleasure of
renewing acquaintanceship witn him
last year at Jacksonville Beach. And
we have Bob Calloway who still sits
in the driver’s seat and who operates
a very successful garage in Miair.l.
Bob is an old veteran now, but from
the number of years he has stayec
in the game, he must be good, every
time you pick up the paper and read
where they ar egoing to have races
in Atlanta If you will run your eve
down the entry list, you’ll find that
Bob will be in there. Here's to you,
Bob! Some of the boys are dead
now, either from sitting in the seat
too long or because the grim reaper
took them In other ways, but the
memory lingers on!I

NIGHT TENNIS COMING
Glad to see where they are experi
menting with night tennis now. That
is smethln r " for the city to be proud
of. Wh> can ask for more than a
fast game of tennis before bed? Just
the thing to make you go to bed
weary and wake up feeling fine. I
think that there will be further ex
tensions of the lights over the other
courts in the very near future In or
der to allow full use of the courts.
Let’s hope H won’t be long.
t INDIANS ON WARPATH
The Indians are playing ball! That
In a few words sums up Bobby La
mot te’s club which has been provid
ed with the proper stimulus to put
them definitely In the running for a
winning combination. Taking the
major share of every series since the
Macon games, the Tribe has been the
late choice of the leading baseball
critics f the Southeast to finish 1-2
in the final standings of the Sally
League. Being provided with the
necessary pitchers and the hitting
punch the Indians are definately on
their way I
THE ANNUAL SWIM
This is the first year that someone
hasn’t announced his Intention of
trying the Tybee swim. For the last
five years there has been some am
bitious youngster or aged veteran
who has cherished the idea of con
quering the ardous 21-mile stretch of
river that lies between Savannah and
Tybee. Appjearing easy but in real
ity one of the hardest swims on the
coast, the would-be swimmer soon
finds that his way is blocked by cross
currents and hard tides, with the
ever present danger of sudden north
easters arising and blasting his
chances into a cocked hat. Actually
the hardest part of ths entire swim
is the short distance from Fort Screv
en to Tybee, where for the short
three miles, it takes, if successful, an
actual four hours to make the grind.
Gan you imagine swimming from Sa
vanah to Fort Screven and then
finding that you have the hardest
part of the swim in front of you?
That is the answer to why there are
so few swimmers who desire to swim
the route. If any of you gentle read
ers care to make the attempt, we’re
for you, cause we know!!
PELICANS TO PLAY

SAVANNAH BEACH TOSS
. KRS HOOK UP AGAINST
GLYNN NINE
The Savannah Beach Pelicans,
whose first road trip yesterday with
the Beaufort aggregation was quite
favorable, will journey to Brunswick

ball in their last three games, the
seacoast boys are conceded a favor
able chance of turning in another vic
tory over the Brunswick team.

. NEW YORK. May 23 (TP)—Heavy
1 slugging featured the big league base-
I ball games today. Pitchers saw their

parks.

- 15 to 1, to take both ends of a double
, header.

[ Sally League
The league standings in the Sally
, League are beginning to shift quite a
I bit since the Jacksonville Tars have
i taken a new lease on life and have
, begun to hit the ball behind the bril
liant hurling of their ace pitchers.
Winning a double-header from tpe
league leading Columbus Red Birds
■ yesterday, the Tars took the first
game 3-0, but pulled the surprise of
the day when their ace righthander,
Braun hurled the first no hit, no run
game of the season in the Sally
League to shut the Red Birds out,
1-0. Continuing the form which has
so characterized his pitching for the
season, the big righthander with his
slow drops had the Columbus batters
fooled all the afternoon.
Savannah dropped back into
fourth place when they lost a close
: one to the Columbia Senators, 4-2.
Unable to hit in pinches, the Indi
ans only got to Harkrader for six
hits. Meanwhile, the Augusta Ti
gers, as has been their custom for a
long space of games lost another
game to the Macon Peaches, 4-3 to
sink further in the cellar. Unable to
. provide the proper batting punch, the
Tigers are sadly wanting in the pas
time of playing ball.

GEORGIA ICE MEN
HOLD LEAGUE LEAD
AMERICAN CAN AND CEN
TRAL DIXIES HAVE A
CLEAN SLATE
There was nothing new in the soft
ball leagues in Savannah in the past
week. Georgia Ice, clearly the class
of the city in the City League, is
showing its heels to the rest of the
contingent in this group, and from
the way that this team has been win
ning ball games, the other clubs will
have a tough job ahead of them to
head the Icemen. The Lawyers came
back into the lead in the Civic league.
Stepping on the highly touted Elks
aggregation, the Lawyers, swept into
the lead the first part of the week
and haven’t been headed as the
standings were compiled the latter
part of the week. The American Can
Co. is still .1000 in the league ratings
in the Commercial league and the
Can boys are playing heads up ball
to keep at the top of this fast league.

SAVANNAH HIGH SWIMMERS DOWN
ATLANTA MERMEN TO TAKE MEET;
ELLIS DEFEATS VISITING PURPLE ACE
LOCALS GRAB EARLY LEAD
AND CONTINUE TO HOLD
IT THROUGHOUT
The Savannah High swimming team
got into high gear yesterday and won
their last meet of the season against
the highly touted Boy’s High aggrega
tion from Atlanta by the score of
38-37, Showing unexpected strength
in the free style events, the Savan
nahians got an early lead and held it
until the last event. Staged in the
Oglethorpe pool, both teams had
trouble off the high board and with
the high speed turns on the sides of
the pool.
Ellis, free style artist, pulled a fast
one out of the bag when he dished a
defeat onto the platter of Denny, the
Atlanta ace in the 50 free style event.
In the lead at the half way mark, the
Atlanta swimmer was caught in the
last ten yards by Ellis and was within
3-5 of a second at the finish. Ellis
clearly showed that he had been point
ing to this even since these boys last
met in Atlanta and his victory was
very creditable.
Savannah High, as expected, came
through in the diving, b’-east back
stroke and medley event*. Clearly the
class of Georgia in these races, the
Bluejackets kept their mark clear
against the Purple Hurrincane. Bragg
came through with a victory in the
diving with his teammate Weil com
ing in third. McKenna got a first in
Ithe breaststroke with Douglas taking
a third. Weeks and Neuberger got
away to good starts in the 100 back
stroke and got in the first and third
point winning column.
Bragg, with his diving ability was
the talk of the meet with his high
arching swans, cutaways, and half
gainers. Never heaced by any of the
divers, the Jacket football, basketball
and swimming star took his event with
ease and put on an exhibition of his
prowess efi the high board.
Boy’s High came to town with the
class of Atlanta in the free st:*)?
events, and with the exception of the
50 yard free style, swept the slate
clean in this particular type of swim
ming. Denny, the State ‘Y” 100 yard
free style holder, finished his event
20 yards in front of the field to show
his form.

SUNDAY” BASEBALI
PETITION STARTED
MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
BE PRESENTED AT NEXT
MEETING
r The problem of Sunday baseball is
: again rearing its head with the cir
culation of a petition to be presented
to the Mayor and Aidermen for the
playing of baseball in the Municipal
1 Stafium on the Sabbath.
No doubt inspired by the continued
t success of the Savannah Indians, it is
reliably understood that this paper
I has been signed by some cf the lea -
1 Ing citizens of the city in a effort to
have the city fathers relinquish their
attitude and allow the grand olc
: American pastime to be played he-e
‘ on Sundays.
1 Circulated mostly in the business
: circuit, the petition has not exper
ienced any trouble whatsoever in get
ting names on it, and from reports
received at a late hour, it appears
that the matter will be taken up at
the next meeting erf Council.
