INDIANS DROP LAST GAME OF SERIES TO TIGERS, 6-3; TACKLE RED BIRDS TONIGHT lARLY LEAD MADE BY AUGUSTA TIGERS PROVES TO BE STUMBLING BLOCK TO INDIANS IN LATE RALLY. The Savannah Indians will take on the Columbus Red Birds tonight in a game which promises to put one or the other of the elubs on the road to or out of the second division. In a prolonged losing streak, the Red Birds lost three straight to the Columbia Senators in Columbus, and are coming here with the hopes of catching Savannah on the rebound. The Indians are primed to throw their full load into the Birds with the placing of Levy, their star right-hander, on the mound to. night. Losing his last game, genial Jake is seeking to wipe out the memory of that stain in a win at the expense of the Birds tonight. The Augusta Tigers clawed their way back into ths league spotlight yesterday when they got to the offer ings of Hal Stafford in the early stages of the set-to with the Indians to cop the game 6-3. Although the Indians won the series, the Augus tan® showed a complete reversal of form over their previous games to win the final game. Indians’ Rally Fails < Keeping the heavy guns of the Tribe silenced, the hurling prowess of the highly touted Hubbell of the Felines was just what the experts said ft would be. He had the Indians on the war path but that was as far as they got the entire afternoon, with the possible exception of a late rally which threatened the Tigers’ lead. Getting away to a good start in the first inning when three runs came across the platter, the Tigers nailed another in the third to go into a safe lead. Getting started on the first stanza when Ligon who had walked was sent home with a crashing home run by Gallegos, the rightfield gard n>?r for the Augustans. Lindley then singled, stole second and then came home when Fleming singled. In the next Inning the Tigers put across an other when Gallegoes scored Wanni ger on a high pop fly to the gardens. Again pushing runs across in the next inning when two more were added to their quota a® results of base hits off Kasky, the Tigers were unable to score again for the remainder of the game. The Indians came in for their share of the thrills in the seventh stanza when two runs were scored when Eddie Moore’s hit scored Kasky and Colbem. Slamming a triple that elud ed the leffielc’er’s hands the speedy shortstop came to rest on the third eack. Another run in the eighth when EHlc*t scored as result of a single by’ Hines. A complete reversal of form was apparent in the playing of the Tigers as they thoroughly put the Indians SPORT CELEBS ■Ur .... / wife •' .

Martin stole the show in the 1931 world series between the Cardinals and Athletics, hitting .500 and steal ing bz«es right and left. He gave one of the most remarkable one-man per formances in the history of the aeries. Native of Temple, Okla., where he was born Feb. 29, 1904, Martin start ed |}is baseball career with Green ville of the East Texas league when he was 20 years old.

MORRISON —— Cenfml Frwm Aamrintwin——- T>evei.op ** GRASS ' A 4 x ALEX MORRISON says: Every time I tell a pupil to bend his wrists in the backswing it is like asking him to jump off a bridge. He seems to be afraid of the added action. By bending the wrists and | loosening up his backswing he feels that he is losing control of the club. The first attempts will find him looking up to see what is happening to the ball. Having - looked up he tightens up for the next swing. If he could only be made to realize that this wrist action means life, power and ac curacy to his swing, particularly when he follows it with the proper pointing of his chin, I’m sure it would make this item worth while. Check over your own swing. Take the club back and move slow near the end of your up swing. Then bend your wrists back and forth two or three times before swinging down. Try to give all of your attention to wrist action and the position of your head. Say over and over again to yourself, “Wrist action and chin back.” It will lower your scores. * FULL v\ ~ V coverage \X BK rRANS local " f* LEASED CPORTS t —=« CENTRA..

FIREMENTROUNCE POLICE OUTFIT There are many happy boys around the fire stations today sitting around discussing the “whys and wherefores” of their first game with the police department nine when they thorough ly vanquished the “pavement pound ers” yesterday to the tune of 24-14. Getting away to an early start, ths “fire-eaters” came through with a barrage of runs that nailed the po licemen down and kept them down throughout the entire game. The "pounders” appeare.. to need ever; thing from the squad cars to tear gas bombs to stop the firemen, but all went for naught w-hen the heavy artillery of the "pinochle” boys came into play. Throwing a heavy hose of long hits to the outfield of ■the police, the firemen at all times had the situation well “under control and the final wind-up showed the only damage to be a heavy break down in the ranks Gs the police.

Crowds that descendsd on Baltusrol early today spent the pre-tourmmint hours making guesses as to what i would prove the winning score for the 72-hole match cn t’.ia par 72 course. The concensus of opinion is that 290, cr thereabouts, will te'-ie the championship. The War Between the Spates ended in the Arctic! Late in 1854 the Con federate raider Shenandoah was sent to the Behring sea to destroy Union whalers on the way back to New Eng land with cargoes. The Sirnandoeh kept right on sinking the whalers long after Lee’s surrender, for word of the Confederacy’s collapse cidn't reach it for months. Another thing the Chinese discov ered centuries before other folks; glass keeps out the hralth-giving vi olet rays, so homes in the celestial empire have paper windows, which ad mit violet rays. Oil companies paint their tanks in light colors because light colors pre vent evaporation and save them mil lions of gallons annually.
