SUGAR MEN JOURNEY TO
CHARLESTON WHERE
THEY WIN, 13 TO 1
The Dixie Crystals of Port Went
worth, yesterday journeyed to Charles
ton where they more than took re-,
yenge for the former pasting they
took from the U. S. Marines station
ed at the Navy Yard .when they
dished out a 13-1 licking onto the
Leathernecks.
Scoring in the third, fourth and
seventh stanzas, the Crystals proved
more thitij a master to the Leather
necks, and took up errorless ball be
hind the three hit pitching of their
hurling right-hander, McGaughey.
The slim youngster was extremely
stingy with the hits he allocated to
the Marines, and was at no time in
•coring danger.
Earl Jackson, third sacker for the
Savannahlans, led the batting at
tack of the locals when he connected
with three out of four for almost a
perfect day at bat.

MUNY LINKS GREENS
TO BE IN SHAPE SOON
STEVENSON ASSERTS
Frank Stevenson yesterday at the
Muny Links said that the greens
which were unduly fast for this time
of the year will be in shape in about
10 days. The new grass having al
ready been planted, the irregular dry
weather is delaying the growth on th?
greens, which have been the cause of
so much comments in the last few
days.
The fairways are in excellent shape
especially on the incoming nine of
the number 4 course. Fast and with
an excellent growth on them, com
ments from the locker room have dis
closed the favorable run of the golfers
who vie for honors over the week
end.

NEW SUNDAY FAIRWAY
FEATURE IS INAUGUR
ATED YESTERDAY
In the first of a series of Sunday
features on the golf course, the four
some. consistine: of McWilliams, Flu
enwider, Stevenson and Terrell
turned in the lowest score of the
day when a best ball of 64 won the
day’s scoring honors. Terrell, an At
lantan clearly proved his shotmaking
abilities to Savannahlans who fol
lowed the foursome, when he played
near par, the entire afternoon.
The second place winners: Har
mon, Manucy, O'Conor and Debish
on, had a best ball of 65 to lose the
first place prize by one stroke. Play
ing steady golf for the outgoing nine,
•the foursome wavered a bit on the
incoming layout to lose the lead that
they had picked up.
SINCLAIR’S BIRDS
ARE RACE WINNERS
In a race which was featured by
only three of the starters finishing,
the weekly Oglethorpe Racing Pigeon
club race was won by Lady Stassert
from the loft of W. E. Sinclair in
the slow time of 20 hours and 50
minutes. The explanation of the
slow time can be had by the head
winds which hampered the race
throughout the entire journey.
The birds were released from
Murfreesboro, Tenn., a distance of
400 miles, and at this time only three
of the birds have checked into their
loft, Lady Ash and Mumps, being
the other birds arriving at an early
hour last nigh.t Mumps also being
from the loft of Mr. Sinclair, gives
the popular racing enthusiast a lead
on the reason's racing honors.
LAWYERS AND CCPS
All Mondays are red letter
days in the diaries of the local
“cops,” but today wil be a day
which wil always be foremost in
the hearts of the local wearers
of the “blue,” because they hook
up with the crack softball aggre
gation of the Lawyers in a game
which should resound o the far
corners of Chatham County.
If threats mean anything, the
Lawyers shuld go on the field
with more than their usual share
of injunctions to stop the bat
ting assault of the puolicemen.
Stating that they have a natural
aptitude for the use of any club
in general, the cops promise to
whack the offerings of the Law
yer pitcher, Hester, to the four
corners of the Daffin Park lot.
With everything barred except
words, the guns, black-jacks, and
night sticks will be checked into
the team arsenal before the
game so that there will be no
fireworks, when the Lawyers
start playing. Having previously
heard the statement that the
only way that “those flatfeet
could win a game would be by
using their jacks,” the cops will
go out on the field today to fight
for their honor.

Judge, married and the father of
four children, lives in Washington,
where he operates a lunch room near
the Capitol. He is a native of Brook
lyn, where he was bom May 25. 1894.
His baseball career started at Lewis
ton in the Eastern league in 1914.
He went to Washington from Buffalo
in 1915. From 1915 through 1932 he
played first base for the Senators.
On June 28, 1930, when "Joe
Judge day" was observed in Washing
ton. Owner Clark Griffith and the
Detroit Tigers’ management agreed to
give Joe the gate receipts above the
first 9,000 paid admissions. More than
18,000 fans saw the game, and Joe
received a check for $10,500 as his
share of the gate.

UNIVERSITY DREAM
TO BE FULFILLED
HUEY LONG’S AMBITION
SPONSORED BY GOV.
LECHE
NEW ORLEANS, May 25 (TP)—
Louisiana’s Governor Leche has in
dicated that he would fulfill Huey
Long’s ambition for “one of the great
est universities in the country.”
The late Louisiana senator cher
ished the ambition to build Louisiana
State university up to a point where
it would equal any educational insti
tution in the nation. His efforts were
beginning to bear fruit when he was
assassinated-
Governor Leche today announced
his request for a million dollar ap
propriation from the Louisiana legis
lature. He said the money will be
used to construct a new law school
building at the university in Baton
Rouge.
Plans for the proposed building
show it to be almost a duplicate of
the new supreme court building in
WaMiington.

STRETCHES IT—Gus Mancuso of the Giants stretches a single into
a double, but does he have to hustle!
BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, May 25 (TP)—The
baseball pools are slap-happy today
from the lustiest walloping they’ve
had in many a day. These syndicates
pay off on the most runs scored. Sun
day hitters used their Sunday punches
and the box scores ran wild. New
York’s Yanks murdered Philadelphia,
25 to 2. It was the biggest major
league score since 1929. Tony Lazzerl
got three homers. New York’s Giants
thumped the Phillies, 13 to 5. Brook
lyn beat Boston, 11 to 2, as the New
say.
Yorkers made a clean sweep for the
Cincinnati buried Pittsburgh, 12 to
1. St. Louis beat Chicago 7 to 1 in
the other National league game.
Washington walloped Boston, 12 to
4. Chicago’s White Sox nicked St.
Louis, 7 to 5. Cleveland shut out De
troit, 7 to 0 in a fairly rational ball
game.
Sally League
The Jacksonville Tars moved into
first place in the Sally League yester
day as the Floridans humbled the
Columbia Senators, 11-5. Headed by
their sterling pitching ace, Walker,
the Tars connected safely with 13
safeties to keep Walker’s record in
tact with no defeats being charged
to him this season. Showing and
continuing the drive which has char
acterized their victories over the for
mer league leaders, Columbus, the
Tars thoroughly whitewashed the of
ferings of a duo of pitchers for the
Senators.
IMacon gained ground in the league
as a result of their taking the for
mer leaders, Columbus, over the
hurdles, to the tune of a 10-1 score.
In a game devoid of any interest, the
Peaches played heads-up ball to
gain ground on the second place hold
ers. The Savannah Indians in the
last game of the circuit played a
eleven inning set-to with the revamp
ed Augusta Tigers before they put
both barrels into the felines to win
the game 3-2. Showing their first class
of the season, the Tigers played
heads-up ball, but were subdued by
Levy and Roy of the Indians.

AUGUSTA, 3 TO 2
The Savannah Indians, after a one
day stand in the den of the Augusta
Tigers, move into Columbus today,
where they will try and take a three
game series from the Red Birds. Being
in fourth place as a result of their
3-2 victory over the Tigers yesterday I
in an eleven inning battle, the Tribe
headed by the rollicking Bobby La-
Motte, hope to move into the first
division at the expense of the Birds.
Kasky is slated for the moundwork

Harris as an alternate for the new
righthander.
Nip Augusta 3 to 2
The Augusta Tigers tried to regain
some of their lost ground in the pen
nant race of the Sally League at the
expense of the Savannah Indians yes
terday but lost a 3-2 decision to the
Tribe from Chatham County in an
eleven inning struggle.
Savannah started the fireworks
early in the game when in the fourth
inning they pushed a tally across for
the first score of the game. Etteh,
the new right fielder for the
rapped a double int> centerfield, arid
came home standing up, on a line
single to left field by the elongated
first baseman, Hilcher. The Tigeys
scon got their eyes on the bail, when
in the sixth inning Tice scored SSfL®
rett on a single to the garden. |
Augusta seemed to have the game L
sewed up, when in their half of thfe W
eighth they pushed across another
run, but their momentary triumphj
was short lived when the Indians load
ed the bases after results of a single
two walks and an error. Kasky, pinch
hitting for Roy, walked, forcing HU
cher in with the tieing run.
Jack Levy, veteran hurkr for the
tribe, made Ijistory for the Indiana,
when in the eleventh, he laid down
a bunt that scored Hilcher who wm
roosting on third. The Roy-Levy com
bination on the mound for the In
dians, had the situation well in hand,
and between the two of them, made
the Tigers hit eight times and like
it. This combination youngster-vet
eran pair hurled beautiful ball behind
the nine hits that their teammates
were getting off the clants of the
Strayvess-Patchin combination for the
Tigers.
Hilcher, for the Savannahlans, had
the field day at bat pasting the ball
for safeties 4 out of 5.
