LOCALS HEAVY BATS AND
BOY’S FINE HURLING TOO
MUCH FOR AUGUSTA;
PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT
Before a record smashing crowd,
the Savanah Indians last night un
leashed the full fury of their bat
ting power to thoroughly subdue the
Augusta Tigers, 8-5. Throwing their
full attack into the North Georgia
aggregation in the sixth inning when
five runs came across the platter, the
Indians gave excellent support be
hind their righthand pitcher, Emli
Roy.
Roy Has Big Night
Giving up only nine hits, keeping
them well scattered, the former
Scranton, Pa., hurler contributed to
the batting honors, when he scored
Moore in the sixth, and on the next
play was driven in by a teammate.
Showing an excellent change of
pace, the stocky built hurler mixed
his “serves” to keep the Tigers guess
ing.
The Tigers nailed their share of
hits off Roy , but were unable to
bunch them, accounting for nine
safeties. Playing loose, sloppy ball
behind the sensational hurling of
Braddon, the Tigers seemed lost in
the glare of the floodlights. Braddon
•howed excellent control, but was un
able to cope with the fielding his
teammates, who were bobbling the
ball with Cummings at shorststop
playing, the leading role in the “com
edy of errors.”
Tribe Starts Early
The Trlge got going in the first
inning when they pushed Moore and
Lunak were scored as a result of a
smashing single by Etten, the hard
clouting right fielder, who nailed a
fast one of Braddon’s into short left
field. The Tigers came back lv their
half of the third when they dupli

LEVY ON AIR
Jake Levy, rotound righthand
hurling star of the Indians, added
a new achievement to his record
last night when he gave a talk
over the radio in the interest of
night basebail, exploiting his ex
periences on the baseball diamond.
Displaying enthusiasm over the
advent of the night game here in
Savannah, the genial hurler gave
many views on the national game,
winding up with the hope of hav
ing Sunday baseball eventually
coming here. Showing as much
class and “speed on the ball” on
the “air” as on the diamond, Jake
did not display any qf the usual
nervousness affecting first-night
ers.
dlans black side of the ledger. Lind
ley and Fleming scored as a result of
a hard drive by Holland, the back
stop for the Tigers. The game rocked
along until the sixth when the In
dians got ther eye on the ball, and
accompanied by the loose playing of
the Tigers pushed five runs across
the plate with Elliott, Etten, Hilcher,
Roy and Tuckey scoring in a barrage
of base hits. Getting on bases with
an odd assortment of freak plays the
quintet put the game on ice for the
Indians.
With the exception of a minor
scoring threat in the seventh and
ninth when the Tigers pushed three
runs across in a vain attempt to halt
the fast flying Indians, the chancas
of the Tigers were for naught. Ed
die Moore and Elliott led the bat
ter’s parade for the Indians.

BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, June 2 (TP)—The
first major league night game is
scheduled for tonight when the Phil
adelphia Nationals go up against the
Cincinnati Reds at Cincinnati. The
Reds inaugurated big league night
baseball last year and liked the faster
click of the turnstiles so much that
they voted to give the after-dusk
system another whirl this season.
The New York Giants will attempt
to make up some of the ground lost
in three successive defeats at the
hands of Brooklyn when they meet
the Chicago Cubs in the Windy City
today. The Boston Bees try the
Pirates at Pittsburgh and the St.
Louis Cardinals play host to the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
In the American League, the Chi
cago Whitesox meet the Yankees at
New York, the St. Louis Browns
travel to Washington to meet the
Senators, the Cleveland Indians go up
against the Redsox at Boston and the
Detroit Tigers go into Shlbe Park for
a crack at the Philadelphia Athletics.
Sally League
The Savannah Indians in their first
night game played on the home field,
sent the Augusta Tigers down to a
crushing defeat last night, 8-5. Play
ing tight ball behind the nine hit
hurling of Emil Roy, the Tribe, re
leased an avalanche of runs in the
sixth fram to put the game safely
on ice. Playing before an estimated
crowd of 4,000 fans, the Indians step
ped up a notch into the league stand
ing. Keeping the Columbus Red Birds
on the skids, the Columbia Senators
wiped away former lickings when they
plastered the Birds to the tune of
11-9, in a free hitting exhibition. The
winning hurler, Highe gave up 15
hits, but his teammates were slugging
the ball to the outfield for safeties,
to make for the clouts. In the last
game of the circuit, the Jacksonville
Tars lost a close one to the Macon
Peaches, 3-2. The Peaches fighting
hard to retain their hold on third
place ahead of the fast flying In
dians, got eight hits to win the ball
game.

And now, we wish to inform you that
Staley is so much like Phil in hurd

toss a coin to pick the better man.
To get some idea of the rivalry and
the b lance of performance betw-een
the two boys, let it be understood
that; both are unofficial co-holders of
the world's record in the high hurdles
with a :14.2 mark, set in a dead heat

CONVICT MUSICIANS
TO TAKE PAY CUT
OSSINING, N. Y., June 2 (TP)
A cut in the pay of convict musicians
at Sing Sing Prison is blamed for the
burder of a lifeterm prisoner, Frank
Lopez.
Lopez was fatally injured last night !
when he was attacked by seven fellow i
convicts. Warden Lewis E. Lawes said
today that it was probably that Lopez,
himself a musician, was suspected of
manipulating the pal-cut, the slain
man having served as secretary to
music instructor Clifford. Actually,
the musicians pay was cut from 20
cents to 10 cents a day because of
budget requirements.
The seven murder suspects were
placed in solitary confinement pend

VERNON GOMEZ
By Central Press
ONE OF THE American league s
best left-handers, Vernon (Lefty)
Gomez, three times has finished the
season, in his five years of major
league service, with a better-than
-20-victories record.
The Spanish-Irish fast ball flinger
was born Nov. 26, 1910, at Rodeo,
Cal. He was pitching for a high
school team at Richmond, Cal., when
Nick Williams, manager of the San
Fran?lsco 3esb, “discovered” him.
Gomez spent the year of 1928 at Salt
Lake City. In 1929 New York bought
him for $35,000.
After a year at St. Paul, Gomez
started pitching regularly for the
Yanks in 1931. He won 21 and lost
nine in 1931, won 24 and lost seven
in 1932 and in his best year, 1934,
won 26 and lost five, leading the
league in strikeouts, games won,' win
ning percentage, earned run per
centage and most innings pitched.
This year, after a good start, Gomez
has turned up with a sore arm.
He is married to th? former June
O Dea, Broadway actress.

game of the series, the Savannah In

tonight when they get going on the
second setto with the Felines. Play
ing class ball, the Tribe, behind the
sensational hurling of Emil Roy,
clouted the ball freely to take the
decision from the Tigers.
It is slated that either Gould or
Harris will take the mound for the
locals in the hope of making it two
straight over Augusta. The lights,
making it as bright as day, were the
added incentive for the thousands
which turned out for the game last
night. Sst in clusters on tall poles,
every play was as illuminated as a
game played on Saturday afternoon.
Proving that night baseball is the sal

time here in the city, many were the
favorable comments about the ar
rangements being made for the fax.
Bobby LaMotte, manager and boss
man for the Tribe yesterday announc

on the home diamond will be played
at night with the exception of Satur
day, on which day the proverbial Sat

Enthusiastic over the response accord

of the team would be top-notch.
