INDIANS IN LAST
STAND TODAY ON
RED BIRDS FIELD
SAVANNAH CLUB OUT TO
TAME COLUMBUS TEAM
FOR SETBACKS
Playing their last game of the Co
lumbus serie® in the north Georgia
city today, the Savannah Indian*
hope to erase the biting sting of their
last two games with the Red Birds,
by winning the day'* bill.
Showing a sudden reversal of form
which had the experts and dopesters
hanging on the ropes in an attempt
to figure the Tribe's chanoes of fin
ishing the season on top, the Indian*
dropped a close game to the Birds
yesterday which was a far cry from
the first game played on the diamond
of the Columbus ball club.
Roy is slated for the heavy duty on
the mound today and the heavy built
hurler who fling* them from the
righthand side is waiting with a
cocked gun for the Birds.
Birds Win 5-to-3
The Savannah Indians had victory
within their grasp yesterday but due
to a barrage of hits which drove
Harris from the mound in the eighth
Inning, the Columbus Red Birds were
able to eke out a 5-3 win over the
Tribe.
Playing ball that was a complete
reversal of form over their former
day’s game, the Indians tied up the
game in the eighth, only to lose out
when the Birds came to bat. Starting
the ball rolling in their half of the
sixth when, as a result of a wild
throw by Tutaj, the elongated Hilcher
came acrsos with a run, duplicating
a tally made by Columbus in the
fifth.
Indian's Rally Fail®
The Indians added two to their
winning side of the column in the
eighth when they pushed Hitcher
and Btten scored as the result of a
triple, double and two singles on the
part of their temmates. But their
ratty was short lived because Lynn,
on the mound for the Birds was re
lieved by Judd, who retired the Tribe
in short order.
Columbus broke up the game in its
half of the eighth, when two of their
tallies came across the platter, put
ting the game on ice. Hilcher and
Btten were the big guns of the In
dian’s attack and the gardener and
first baseman had the Columbus
pitchers trying to ease down when
they stepped up for their cut at the
ball.

MAHMOUDWINS
ENGLISH CLASSIC
AGA KHAN’S HORSE AT 100
TO 8 COPS EPSOM
DOWNS DERBY
EPSOM, England, May 27 (TP)
The Aga Khan® powerful Mahmoud
came out of nowhere In the stretch
today to win the 153rd running of the
historic Epsom Derby, Taj Akbar was
second, Thankerton third.
Mahmoud was a 100 to-8 shot. The
favorite, Pay Up, never threatened.
Jac key Smirke rode Mahmoud like
a prairie fire across the last rolling
stretch of the race course. Taj Akbar,
at 6 to 1, was second. Thankerton, a
33 to 1 choice, finished third.
A quarter of a million people split
the air with a thunderous roar at the
start and trebled the crashing roar
at the finish. Hi* Grace, of Lord
Carnarvon’s stable broke in front
with Carioca, from the stables of the
Maharaja of Rajpipia
Carnavon and Carioca led at the
hlf, with Midstream of Anthony De
Rothschild sneaking up on the out
side. The crowd was wild with ex
citement and swirling toards the far
turn to watc hthe bid for the last
furlongs. Couvert thundered into the
lead Ith Midstream and Spinalot at
the three-quarter mark. Mahmoud was
still in the ruck.
Thankerton slipped through the
crush and nipped off the lead at the
mile, with the great field right be
hind him. The 88 hooves of the 22
horses thundered on the hard-dry turf.
In the stretch, there was a press of
bounding horses and the colors of the
Aga Khan burst in front. It was
Mahmoud and jockey Smirke was
riding him for all he was worth.
Thankerton fell back a quarter
length. a half-length, and then start
ed to drive again. Jockey Burns gave
him the whip. Taj Akbar, the Aga
Khan s second entry, came pounding
up from the inside. Mahmoud pulled
away. They thundered across the fin
ish line one, two. Derbise, bonnet*
an dprograms went into the air. They
roared —“Mahmoud wins!" Taj Tkbar
was second and Thankerton third.
The time was 3 and 3-4 minute®,
well behind the fastest time of Hyper
ion set in 1933 at 2.34 and equalled
by Windsor Lad in 1934.

INDIANS VS. RED BIRDS AT COLUMBUS TODAY
HARD HITTING FRANK!
BEHOLD THE BUSHERS!
By WALTER JOHNS
(Central Press.)
HARRY KELLEY— , ■
PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS
AFTER A MAN ha* been knocking
around the minor leagues for 13
years, 11 of them in one league, he
doesn’t seem to have much of a future
in the majors. Well, Harry Leroy
Kelley is in the majors at last and
from the looks of thing* he's going
to stick. Maybe he has a future, too.
Harry is pitching for the Philadel
phia Athletics. The Athletics, you
know, who have no Grove now. Any
how, Harry is doing all right, having
won a couple of games for a team that
isn’t winning so many.
Twenty-nine years old, Kelley had
a brief trial with both Washington
and the New York Giants. But he
spent most of his best years with
Memphis and Atlanta of the South
ern association. He’s up now from
Atlanta, where he won 23 games last
year while losing 13, pitching in 319
innings, more than any other flinger
in the loop.
Harry joined the Memphis Chicks
in 1923, rambling from there over the
route: Memphis to Greenwood,
Spartanburg. Washington, New Or
leans, Memphis, Birmingham, Mem
phis, Giants, Memphis and finally
Atlanta in 1934,
A right-handed slabster and right
handed batter, Harry mixes a knuckle
ball with his other stuff. His best ef
fort to date is a three-hit win over
the Boston Red Sox, with Wesley
Ferrell on the losing end. The Vann
dale. Ark., man promises to become
one star in a dark Philadelphia pitch
ing sky.
AMERICAN STAR
UPSETS DOPE POT
LA MOODY ANNOUNCES
WITHDRAWAL FROM
ENGLISH MATCH
NEW YORK, May 27 (TP)—Ten
nis officials admitted ruefully today
that it’s impossible to make any pre
dictions about Mrs. Helen Wills
Moody. When Mrs. Moody came east
from California, everyone thought
she was headed for the Wimbledon
tournaments. When Helen refused to
say yes or no about her Wimbltdon
plans, net authorities remembered
that last year she left it until the
last minute to announce her inten
tions to play at Wimbledon. The
high moguls of tennis were confident
that this year would see a repetition
of last year’s act.
Now, however, Mrs. Moody has an
nounced definitely that she won't
play at Wimbledon. Instead, she ex
plained, she’ll point for the women’s
national championships at Forest
Hill* in September. The California
net star plans to leave for the west
coaM next week and stay there until
it’s time to come cast again for the
Forest Hill matches.

“DA PREEM” MEETS
HAYNES TONIGHT
CARNERA AND NEGRO TO
MIX IN BROOKLYN,
N. Y. RING
NEW YORK, May 27 (TP)—Primo
Camera, one-time heavyweight cham
pion of the world, will have h<- back
to the wall tonight when he meets the
negro battler, Leroy Haynes, at Ebbets
Field.
It’s up to “Big Bootsie" to prove
that the night in Philadelphia last
March, when Haynes belted him into
slumberland in a little over two
rounds, was all a mistake.
“Da Precm’’ admits he didn t train
for the first Haynes fight. Now. he
says, he's in top condition and ready
to show the world that the mountain
that walks like a man is far from a
has-been,
Ringsiders favor Haynes to dupli
cate his Philadelphia knockout to
night.
If he does, they say, Primo is cue
to make one of his periodic journeys
into fistic oblivion, from which he
appears to return as persistently 85
the proverbial cat that came back.

will take th* burden of the team on

and woods has become a by word with

I BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK. May 27 (TP)—Un
less the New York Yankees hammer
out more runs than the Boston Red
Sox at Boston today, Colonel Rup
pert’s rifles will lose their jealously
guarded league leadership.
The Yanks bowed to the Red Sox
yesterday by the score of 5 to 4. The
victory brought the Red Sox within
sneezing distance of the lead. If the
Sox come through today, the Yan
kees will slip to second place in fa
vor of the Boston team.
In other American league diamond
duels, the Washington Senators beat
the Philadelphia Athletics. 8 to 2:
the St. Louis Browns beat the Cleve
land Indians, 8 to 5; and the De
troit Tigers split a double-header
with the Chicago White Sox, winning
the first 12 to 9, and dropping the
second, 9 to 2.
The St. Louis Cardinals added two
more games to their win column yes
terday when they beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates in both ends of a double
header. The score was identical, 6
to 2, in each game.
The New York Giants trimmed
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7 to 3; the
Phillies beat the Boston Bees. 7 to
2. and the Chicago Cubs t ook over
Cincinnati. 10 to 4.
Sally League
Augusta emerged from their pro
longed losing streak yesterday when
they won a close game from the Ma
con Peaches. 5-4. Playing heads up
ball, and taking advantage of every
break accorded them, the Tigers gar
nered a total of 13 hits off the of
ferings of Evans, the Peach hurling
star, to sweep into an early lead,
never to be headed. The Savannah
Indians appeared to have struck a
tartar in the Columbus Red Birds
who hung the second defeat of the
series on them, 5-3. C oasting along
with the game apparently won. the
Indians were caught in the closing
innings with a perfect barrage of
runs off the bats of the Birds to lose
the game.
The last game of the circuit found
Jacksonville continuing ther win
ning strea at the expense of the Co
lumbia Senators, with the final count
being 4-3. McKinney and Braun
shared the hurling spotlight for the
Tars, and their teammates got a to
tal of 12 safeties off Terhune, the
Senator lefthander.

SAVANNAH NATATORS OOP
GLORY AT OPENING OF
DE SOTO POOL
The Savannah swimming beam nJ
its 1936 aquatic debut swept forth
last night in unbridled record smash
ing form when it inaugurated the
formal opening of the De Soto team.
In every event from the high and
low board to the lowly relay and
medley events, the locals headed bf
Samuel Rhode, Jr., showed the elaai
which critics say will bring them to
the forefront in Southeastern swim
ming circles.
McKenna Stir® Audience
McKenna was the talk of the spec
tators with his flashing recovery of
the arms in his breast strdoe, as
the stocky built swimmer swam an
exhibition 50-yard dash with hl*
teammate Richard Douglas. Mc-
Kenna appears to be sure fire tim
ber for the Olympic try-oute and
from the condition that is apparent
in the stroke of this swimmer, the
trials to be held in Birmingham will
witness a new star on the rise.
Buddy Reese, Sonny Bragg and
Burns Atkinson held the crowd spell
bound when they took up their work
on the high board. Performing every
required dive in the diver’s category
and adding the more difficult option
al leaps to their repertoire, this trio
thrilled the spectators in the very
last event on the program. Experi
encing difficulty with the lights In
the pool the divers on some oi their
more sensational plunges, flopped,
but quickly came back to try and
make up for their miscues.
Morehouse Bowyer in a specialty
event on the program demonstrated
his diving helmet with head phones
for communication on the bottom of
the pool. In the free style events, the
team led by Weil and Hanrn swam
their events with perfect ease to dem
onstrate ther prowess in this pex
ticulax type of racing stroke.
