INDIANS READY
TO AVENGE 20-1
DEFEAT BY BIRDS
HARRIS WILL BE ON THE
MOUND AGAINST CO
LUMBUS TODAY
AM to not well in the camps of the
Indians today and as a result the
Tribe will go on the war-path to wipe
out the overwhelming score racked
again* them yesterday by the Red
Birds, 20-1. Being chalked up as a
day which happens every once in
awhile In the life of a team, the
Indiana hope to hang up a win on
the heavy hitting Columbus aggrega
tion. Harris probably will take the
mound for the locals in today’s fame.
Birds Go Wild
Tn the biggest score recorded in
the Sally league for the present sea
son, the Red Birds came oub of their
gilded cage yesterday and rapped the
Indians over the head to the tune
of 20-1. A game replete with errors
on the part of the Tribe, and tilted
with base hits on the part of the
Birds, who slammed the rock to the
four corners of the lot to count for
22 safeties, the Birds emerged with
brilliance, from the prolonged losing
slump, which has featured their ball
playing for the last five days.
Only three Tribesmen reached first
on hits, Etten, Tuckey and Hilcher.
Ebten rapped a homer into the left
field bleachers to keep his record
clear, and this mainstay of the In
dians was awed not one bit by the
hurling efforts of the two Bird pitch
ers, Krist and Hader. Five errors
were tacked onto the score sheet of
the Indians, and lb appeared to be
just “one of those days,” for the boys
from Chatham. Unable to get started
and having trouble keeping their eye
on the ball, the Tribe just couldn’t
get going long enough to cabch up
with the fast flying Birds.
Tutaj Leads Batters
Tutaj led the batting attack of the
Red Birds, to count for five oub of
five for a perfect day ab the platter.
The fleet third baseman hit the ball
wherever Gould and Kaskey put It,
and was a thorn in the two veteran's
sides, when they tried to ease down
on the middle valve enough to try
and retire the hitting spark plug of
the Columbians.

The above picture is the scene of the beautiful and fast De Soto Pool which will be the set
ting for the swim of the De Soto swimming team in its first official meet of the sea
gon. Also to b- e spot for the pageant, “Night in Venice,** the pool will be set off with appro
priate lanterns and lights for the annual occasion. Morehouse Bowyer and his diving helmet will
be an added feature for the event, and the flashing lights of his helmet on the bottom of the pool
will be a sight well worth seeing.

The rig consists of a helmet to
which an air hose is connected and
in which there is a telephone with
wires going to the surface for com

automobile pump, as the depth of the
water allows the use of such a small
means for oxygen. The invention fits
tightly over the wearer's shoulders,

LAWYERS U TALK M
SELVES TO WIN
ORATORY HELPS IN 12-11
VICTORY OVER LOCAL
BLUECOATS
There are many downcast looks on
the face of the police department to
day as the result of the licking ad
ministered them yesterday by the
hard-playing, heavy-talking aggrega
tion of lawyers on the softball dia
mond at Daffln Park. Displaying ttie
class in talking which so character
ises their court room work, the Law
yers pulled a fast one out of the bag
when they talked the bluecoats into
a nine inning game after the cope
had already won the scheduled game,
11-4.
To wind things up, the Lawyers
talked themselves into a victory be
cause they won the nine inning strug
gle, 12-11, to earn the undying hatred
of their cops friends. Such oratory
has never been heard on the diamond
before to convince the cops that the
game should be prolonged, and as is
the case, they didn’t stand a chance.
BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, May 26 (TP)—The
Boston Red Sox are knocking on the
door of American League leadership
again today. The Beantown Sox
strengthened their position in the
baseball race yesterday by a shut
out victory over the Washington Sen
ators, taking the game 3 to 0.
At the same time, the Philadelphia
Athletics were scoring a 10 to 7 vic
tory over the league-leading New
York Yankees, in the only other game
played in the American League yes
terday.
The National League front runners,
the New York Giants, edged out a
1 to 0 win over the Philadelphia Na
tionals, while the Boston Bees went
into fourth place by reason of their
8 to 0 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Chicago Cubs gave way to the
Bees by dropping a 2 to 1 decision
to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Pitts
burgh Pirates hammered out a 9 to
2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Sally League
The Sally League is proving full of
surprises these days, as is evident of
the huge score run up by the Colum
bus Red Birds against the Savannah
Indians, 20-1. Making the bases a
track meet the Birds, emerged from
their batting and fielding slump with
such a dash as had the stands gasp
ing and hanging on. Getting to the
offerings of the Indian hurlers, Gould
and Kasky with a vengeance, the
Birds stayed even with the Jackson
ville Tars who were dishing out a
licking to the Columbia Senators, 4-3.
Continuing their winning streak to
seven straight games, the Tars played
heads up ball, to stick to the slim
lead that they are holding over the
Columbus Red Birds.
Macon, as was to be expected, won
both ends of a double header from
the Augusta Tigers to push the fe
lines further down into the cellar.
Losing the first game 7-1, the Tigers
showed even worse when they drop
ped the night cap 14-8.

Buddy Reese and Sonny Bragg will
head the diving group with tlfe
scintillating interpretations of the cut
aways, gainers, ones and a half, swans,

umphs in the Boy’s High event last
Saturday. Showing his heels to the
crack Atlantan, Jorry, McKenna
ished the event far ahead of his com
petitors to flash into a record smash
ing performance.
