HOU MEYER DRIVES—Loui* Meyer, winner of Indianapolis race in 1928 and 1933, takes practice spin on Speedway. 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. < The box score: SAVANNAH AB R H POA E.

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. \ C <&D D KT AC v. i 'Sz-r’-y SBf \ x IHRk Wml ■!-TRANS COVERAGE X&fe fe, } wftt -wT gBl radio local Wv. r M® s * r < - '■ ____ vLA.

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.

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.

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. Yesterday’s scores: American League R. H.

PAGE THREE LOCAL SWIMMERS SHOW REAL CLASS IN SEASON DEBUT < V 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.
