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

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. *

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.
BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK. June 4 (TP).—The
Washington Senators drew even with
the world champions of baseball, the
Detroit Tigers, today and said—
“ Move over boys, we’re going places.”
Tire Tigers dropped an 11 to 7
game to the Philadelphia Athletics
yesterday while the Senators were
pounding out a 7 to 4 victory over
the St. Louis Browns. The results
tied Washington and Detroit for
fourth place in the league.
In other American icagve games
staged yesterday, the New York Yan
kees swamped the Chicago White Sox
11 to 1, and the Boston Red Sox beat
the Cleveland Indians, 6 to 2.
In the National league, the Boston
Bees used 11 innings to beat
Pittsburgh Pirates, 4 to 3, The New
York Giants blanked the Chicago
Cubs, 3 to 0, and the St. Louis Car
dinals took the Brooklyn Dodgers
into camp, 7 to 3. The Cincinnati
Reds and the Phillies were not sched
uled.
The Augusta Tigers fairly got back
into the wining column again when
they reached out with the long arm
of Hubbell, their stellar southpaw
hurler, and beat the Savannah In
dians, 6-3 • Showing that they had the
necessary rudiments for a successful
club, the Tigers got going in the
first, second and third stanzas to put
the game on ice for them. Despite
a late rally by the Indians, the Au
gusta aggregation had their thumbs
up on the Tribe. In the last game
scheduled for the Sally circuit, the
Columbia Senators continued thrir
winning streak at the expense of the
Columbus Red Birds in the last game
of their series, winning the gam?, 5-4.
After a late rally which tied up the
score, the Columbia boys went ahead
in the eleventh to put the set-to on
the winning side of the ledger.

IN NETBATTLES
NEW CHAMPION CROWNED
IN WOMEN’S SINGLES
MATCHES
In the tennis wars proceeding in
and on the various courts of the
city, many are tn 3 varied aspects
being brought to light in the defeat
ing and winning of the seeded play
ers who have been opposed by the
leading scholastic and veteran net
“brilliants” of Savannah.
In the mm’s singles tourney for
the Jones Company, the seeded play
ers came through with flying colors
to fight off the onslaughts of their
opponents. Results:
John Tyre, defeated J. Houlihan,
6-0, 6-1.
C- Lockwood, defeated K. Miller,
6-3. 6-2.
A. Chiboucas, defeated A. Robinson.
2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Leon Longwater, defeated R.
Sprague, 6-1, 9-7.
Garriard Gaines, defeated J. Smith.
6-3, 6-2.
Robert Lanier, defeated R. Black.
6-3, 6-4.
Ansley Cope, defeated E. Wynn,
6-3, 6-4.
Sam Williams, defeated W. W. Gor
don, 10-12, 7-5, 6-2.
Meanwhile in the women’s tennis
circles, their reigns a new champion
in the singles event with the name
of Miss Evelyn Nathan gracing the
register. This young lady who has
rapidly forged ahead to the forefront
with her smashing serves and gentle
back hand lobs yesterday made her
triumph complete with the vanquish
ing of Miss Margaret Dutton to the
tune of 6-1, 6-1. Miss Dutton was no
match for the playing prowess of
• Miss Nathan, and the critics who
have seen her play are prophesying
that she will go far in Southern net
circles.
In the last tennis tourney to be
, played in the city, the Y. M. C. A.
j doubles entered into the final stages

. teamed to play the odds-on favorites
” of J. Doyle and J. Moore. Both

f “WYLLY”
)
Summertime brings happy times to
j the youngsters of the Y because of
. the opening of Camp Wylly under the
leadership and direction of Sam Wil
liams, popular physical director. Every
; year finds increased interest in the
t opening of the health-giving, recrea-
L tional satisfying institution of the Y.
Williams yesterday announced the
counselors for the coming encamp
. ment: Calvin Waters, Tom Bain
-1 briege, Charles DeLoach, Seabrook
MacFeeley and Elton Sheppard.
Doc Man er has been appointed in
charge of the store and commissary,
. and Washington Paulk and Walter
Harden were appointed as junior con
, s;lors in charge of the minors in
specified divisions.
Williams gave in detail the physical
attractions for the camp in the clear
ing away of all underbrush, and all
impediments to the incoor softball
field. Having adequate swimming
facilities, boating, and all other forms
of aquatic sports, the camp will have
its full quota of athletic entertain
ment.
Nearly two weeks will be a term
with four terms filling out the sum
mer encampments; sls being the fee
for one term, it is expected that many
boys will take advantage of coming
out for a portion of the summer.
There are a few vacancies left for
the first term.
The kitchens and all outbuildings
have been thoroughly checked and
everything in tip-top shape. Indica
tions are that the present year will
be a banner summer for the summer
institution of the Y.
Gold is the monetary standard be
cause it is the most malleable metal
known. There were rarer and more
precious metals known to the an
cients, as there are toiay, but gold
was prized most because it could be
used more widely for decorative pur
poses and hence it assumed the high
est trading value.
