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.

Air is supplied by an automobile pump, as the depth of the water allows the use of such a small means for oxygen.

Slamming the ball at will, the Press players outplayed The Times young sters in every phase of the game to go into a one gam. lead in their series. Playing heads-up softball, the boys from Whitaker street got to the offerings of Murray and Cooley early in the game to ...ake a one-sided af fair o( what promised to be a good ball game.

Fred P. Bass. Charles ton District Engineer, are in Savan nah today conferring with Lieut. Col. Cresswell Garlington relative to the deepening of Intercoastal waterways. At present, the inland waterways are maintained at a depth of seven feet. It is the purpose of the sur vey now being conducted in this sec tion to determine if a proposal to deepen them to 12 feet is practicable from all angles. 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. American League R. H. Philadelphia 10 15 New York . • 7 12 Washington 0 4 Boston 6 9 National League R.

To swim in the DeSoto formal opening, this team of veteran* and youngsters, under the direction Samuel Rhode, Jr., will perform in ft : galaxy of speed events and diving ex hibition off the high and low boards. Most of the scholastic swimmers ? having wound up their school year in the Boy’s High-Savannah High meet which was won by the Savannahfans by the score of 38-37, nothing is in front of the Savannah team to keep it from making a clean sweep of the major Southeastern swimming crowns for the present season. Buddy Reese and Sonny Bragg will head the diving group with tlfe scintillating interpretations of the cut aways, gainers, ones and a half, swans, half gainers and the many other dives going into the high diver’a category. This pair making their official debut / as members of the Savannah team, .. will work together for the first time this season. John McKenna and Douglas Rich- i ards will take care of the breast stroke events, duplicating their tri 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.
