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.

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 SAVANNAH HIGH R. O. T. C. WINS RIFLE SHOOT 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 gregation which wss headed by Dris coll, Simon and Bruce. The Savan nah Press team came third in the matcher. Columbus 17 Columbia 5 7 Jacksonville 4 9 • Macon 6 10 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.

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.
