ADDITION TO TRIBES’
BOXMEN SLATED TO
HURL TODAY
lti« Savannah Indians don their
war paint today and will attempt to
take up where they left off last night,
when they atart fighting it out with
the Augusta Tigers on the Municipal
Stadium diamond this afteroon at
3:30.
New Hurler to Debut
Hal Stafford, the newly acquired
hurler of the Indians is to take care
of the mound duties for his first game
in a local uniform. From the South
ern Association, Staford is expected
to display the same classy wares he
served in the class AA league. Fans
are hopeful that last night’s game
was the indication of the Indian's
march into the first division by the
end of the coming series with Col
umbus.
The LaMotte Lambasters ran com
pletely amuck last night and mass
acreed the Tigers 17 to 2. In a game
featured only by the batting prowess
of the Tribe, the Tigers were ab
solute! yunable to cope with the
“murderer’s row” of the heavy hitting
Indians.
Elliott and Hines Shine
Led by Elliott and Hines who slap
ped four out of five apiece, Savan
nah’s hopes or a grab at the pennant
flag appeared to be on the rise. Har
ris, the elongated righthander for the
Indians more than did his share of
the heavy work when he made the
Tigers eat out of his hand, letting
them down with four hits.
Hines was the star of the evening
when he nailed the offerings of Ber
ger and Patchin for two home runs
and two singles which placed him
high up in the hearts of the fans in
the stands who packed the grand
stand and bleachers for a near capac
ity crowd. Hitting the ball high and
low and the stocky built third sacker
ran completely wild. ElliOtt, his team
mate in batting honors, got four
singles to boost his batting average.
Savannah got its big Inning in the
eighth when they pushed six runs
across the platter to make the game
look like a merry-go-round. At one
time during this inning the balls
looked like a carnival sideshow. Hit
ting the balls to the four corners of
the lot, the Indians had the Tigers
in a comer, but all for naught. Their
quota for the game was made in every
inning except the first and third, but
from there on, it was just another
game with the Tribe in the driver’s
seat.
Augusta scored tallies in the second
and seventh to keep from making the

CITY NATATORS
IN WATER SHOW
FRIDAY NIGHT
DAFFIN PARK IS SCENE OF
NEXT CONQUEST
FOR LOCALS
The Savannah swimming team un
der the guidance of Samuel Rhode.
Jr., will have a busy week according
to the announcement last night that
they would sho*r in the Daffin Park
pool pageant which is to take place
Friday night. With the whole team
to take part this is the first time
that the aggregation has had a work
out in the fast waters of the city's
pool.
It is expected the divers will play
the important leads in the night’s,
bill with Burns Atkinson, Buddy
Reese and Sonny Bragg as the ’ prlma
donnas.” This trio having swept all
competition aside in their march for
Southeastern recognition, will display
the wares for whch has marked their
continued diving success this present
seccon.
The swimmers will have to play al
ternate parts with the divers because
the event is strictly an exhibition.
However, all swimmers will swim
against time in an effort to lower
some of the pool records, which, in
the opinion of the leading aqu stix ex
perts are entirely too slow for the
type pool the park is.
McKenna and Eilis will share the
spotlight in the record smashing car
nival, and the breast-strok-r and
free style expert will enter the water
with the sole hope of hanging up
records which will stand for some
time.

NEW YORK, June 3 (TP)—The
Cincinnati Reds perched on top of
the National league’s second division
list today by virtue of a night-game
victory over the Phillies.
The Reds topped the visitors from
the city of brotherly love in an arc
light encounter that went to the
home team at a 9 to 8 score. The
win diropped the Boston Bees into
edxth place in the National league
race and gave the Cincinnati team
a crack at the coveted first division.
The Bees dropped yesterday’s game
to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5 to 4,
while the St. Louis Cardinals were
continuing thedr winning pace with
a 5 to 4 victory over the (Brooklyn
Dodgers. The New York GianteXJhl
cego Cubs game was rained out.
In the American league, the New
York Yankees 10-t to the Chicago
White Sox, 11 to 9; the Washington
Senators beat the St. Louis Browns,
15 to 11; the Detroit Tigers won
over the Philadelphia Athletics, 5 to
4, and the Boston Red Sox took the
Cleveland Indians into camp, 14 to 6.
Sally League
Th? Savannah Indians ran com
pletely wild last night down in the
Sally league when they toppled the
cellar holding Augusta Tigers by the
score of 17-2. Led by Jake Hines,
their third sacker, Who collected two
homers and two singles, the Indians
more than held the spotlight for the
league. Showing in their drive for
the pennant that they are ready with
an abundance of hurlers and a
styled "murderer’s row,” the Tribe
stands ready to take the class of the
league. In another game of the
league, Macon made it two straight
over the highly touted Jacksonville
Tars when they got to the offerings
of three Tar hurlers for a total of
nine hits to win the game 6-4. Mean
while in the last game of the circuit,
the Columbia Senators got a edge in
their series with the Columbus Red
Birds when they took the second
place holders 5-1. Determined to come
out of fifth place, the Senators
blasted their way out in front in
early stages of the game to “go to
town.”

DON’T OVERLOOK ETHAN ALLEN-A FAST MAN AND A
HITTER TOUGH LUCK FOR CHUCK.
By Bill Braucher, Central Press Sports Editor.
Is there no end to the miracles of
generosity that come pouring from
the overflowing hearts of New York’s
betting commissioners? Consider the
latest example of their philanthropy,
the prices quoted against stars who
compete in the National Open golf
championship, June 4 to 6, at Bal
tusrol.
Four men are named as the Brev
ity's in this divot derby. Harry Coop
er, Henry Picard, Johnny Revolts
and Byron Nelson are quoted at
eight to one. Cooper, whose gam?
recently has been warm, tied for the
title in 1927 with Tommy 9rmour.
only to lose on the playoff. I|car£
was the top golfer during the south
ern winter season. Revolts is P. G.
A. champion. Nelson won the recent
metropolitan open, appearing from
nowhere.
Are We Overcome!
In the most uncertain game in
the world, in which inconsistency is
almost universal, these four are of
fered to the public at eight to one, in
a field of 160 stars, each of whom is
capable of wining with any kind of
breaks! It’s overwhelming!
Gene Sarazen is offered at 10 to
1. He won the event twice. Walter
Hagen, only other double-winer in
the field ,is 15 to 1. The last major
title Hagen won was in 1929, and
for two years he hasn’t won any kind
of a tournament. Yet he is third
choice, at 15 to 1,
Looking back at the irregularities
that stud the- story of the National
Open, that wild scramble of stars,
the odds are an insult to sucker in
telligence. The lowest figure offer
ed should be 100 to 1. and the price
should range to 250 to 1 at least.
Jones a 36 Percenter
Since 1894 w’hen the event was
started at the St. Andrews club in
Yonkers, N. Y., unknowns have come
popping out V the field to mack
dowm the favorites. The j latest
golfer of them all, Bobby Jcl.j, won
only 12 of the 21 major tournepents
in which he competed. In the Na
tional Open he was winner four
times out of 11 starts. Four out of
11 is about 36 per cent, yet Jv-es was
the one and only, the Min O’ War
among fairway thoroughbreds.
If Jones were in the race this
year, he certainly would be an odds
on choice, perhaps 4 to 5, according

Getting their eye on the target
with the hopes of copping the city
junior rifle championship, th? Sa
vannah High ROTC rifle team came
through to defeat th? highly touted
Stubbs Hardware team 1,7169 to 1,154
to win their first championship.
Paced by Ed Hinlsy who shot 80
from the standing position the Blue
jackets b.-cked up their ace with re
markable st.adiness to off-set the
shcoting efforts of the Stubbs ag

matcher.

to the other prices posted by the
book-writing fraternity.
On the strength of his four
straight amateur title victories, Law
son Little probably would be 5 to 1
in the Open. But he isn’t in it. The
youthful star failed to qualify! There
you have the strange situation of
the favorite who isn’t sure enough
of the game to qualify as a player,
though al lhe had to do was beat a
few ordinary players in a sectional
test.

NATHAN ENTERS
FINAL ROUND
SCHOLASTIC STAR TO PLAY
FORMER TEAM
MATE
Playing a heads up game which had
Mrs. K. Bragg on the defensive
throughout the match, Miss Evelyn
Nathan yesterday advanced to the
finals in the Stubbs Women’s Singles
tourney being staged on the Daffin
Park courts. Continuing to display
the consistency which has so maiked
her entry into this tourney, the Sa
vannah HifA girl star, had Mrs..
Bragg on the run throughout to win
in straight sets. The veteran was un
able to cope with the hard baselins
drives and gentle lobs which left her
out of position for a kill. Local net
partisans state that Miss Nathan,
with the brand of tennis she has dis
played in the scholastic and open
tourney wars, is bound for higher
places.
Meanwhile In the last semifinal
match, Miss Margaret Dutton took
advantage of the unsteadiness of the
seeded No. 3 favorite, Miss Polly
Chisolm to win 6-1, and 7-5. Miss
Chisolm was extremely shaky in the
first set, but soon rallied in the last
set to make the match set point a
number of times. On her game with
the ace serves, Miss Chisolm was
finally beaten by the steadiness of
her scholastic opponent. Coming to
the front in the baseline drives and
using her back hand effectively Miss
Dutton nailed the returns of her op
ponent with lots of English to put a
back spin on the ball.
