INDIANS AND RED BIRDS MEET AGAIN
TONIGHT AT STADIUM; ROY TO TAKE
MOUND FOR TRIBE SEEKING REVENGE
TWIRLER LEVY LOSE 3
CLOSE ONE WHEN TEAM
MATES FIELD LOOSELY
AND FAIL AT BAT IN
THE PINCHES
The Savannah Indians eager for
revenge for the defeat handed them
last night at the hands of the Co
lumbus Red Birds will take to the
diamond tonight in the second meet
ing of these two clubs.
Their “murderer’s row” effectively
silenced by Crockett in last night’s
set-to, the Tribe hopes to regain
some of their lost ground in the
pennant race by a victory in tonight s
battle. Emil Roy, the stocky right
hander for the Tribe is slated to take
the mound.
Colbem Leads Locals
Their batting “big guns” effectively
silenced by the combined hurling ef
forts of Moore and Crockett, the Sa
vannah Indians went down to defeat
last night at the hands of the Co
lumbus Red Birds. The lithe second
sacker, Colbem seemed to be the
only Indian who was able to get his
eye on the ball as he got two out
of three to lead the Tribe's parade.
Columbus got away to an early
start in the first stanza when pushed
a lone tally across the plate as a
result of a walk issued to Harriott
who stole second and third. Making a
track meet of the bases the fleet
footed centerfielder came in on a
single hit by Gruzdis. Savannah came
back with a run in the third when
Levy came in on a smashing triple
by Lunak.
Indians Field Loosely
The game rocked along until the
fifth stanza when Columbus appeared
to have the game sewed up with two
men coming in for the black side
of the ledger. Oehler and Garriott
scored as a result of a wiM throw
by Jake Hines in handling Harris’
grounder and a smashing single by
Crockett. Savannah came back in
their half of thia stanza to score a
single run when Oolbem came in on
a single by Tuckey, the vociferous
catcher for the Tribe. This conclud
ed the scoring for both theams and
there was no hint of a possible scor
ing threat for the remainder of the
game on the part of the Indians.
Jake Levy gave up ten hits to lose
one of the few games charged
against him this season. Appearing to
have the situation well under control,
the rotound hurler was pushed In+o
defeat by the fleldiing miscues of
his infield and the team’s inability
to hit in the pinches;with runners on
the based.

PETE AT SPEEDWAY
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5—A
number of definite changes from
rules which govern the famous Indian
apolis race have been decreed by the
Contest Board of the American Auto
mobile Associaion for the first an
nual 400-Mile International Sweep
stakes at Roosevelt Raceway on Long
Island next October 12.
Outstanding are the rules which
eliminate the riding mechanics so
prominent at Indianapolis since 1930
and those that do away with the gaso
line limit. At Roosevelt Raceway
both the trim little single-seater cars
and the big two-man mounts will be
allowed, but in the latter case
mechanics will not be permitted to
ride. While entrants in the 400-milcr
will have problems aplenty to over
come, they will be spared the gasoline
restriction which has been an import
ant ruling at Indianapolis since 1934.
Each of the 45 starters will be allow
ed fuel consumption of his own
choorlng. At Indianapolis on Decora
tion Day, the 33 starters were restrict
ed to 37 1-2 gallons of gasoline f:r
each car, a limit which stood at 45
gallons in 1935 and 47 1-2 in 1934.
In the hope of attracting foreign
entries, the Roos;velt Raceway man
agement has re:<?»ed the endorse
ment of the three "A” in their rul?
to allow superchargers, to permit any
weight of car and to generally “let
down the bars.” However, in the
interest .of fair competition, all en
gines are resticted to the maximum
piston displacement of 366 cubic
inches.
The capital prize purse will be $50,-
000, plus consolation prizes of $lO,-
000. In addition, many accessory
prizes are anticipated to bring the
total to some SIOO,OOO. This is also
the general set up of prizes at Indian
apolis.
Tr.e first speedway course of its
type, Roosevelt Raceway is four miles
long and is made up of 15 straight
aways and 20 curves. The home
stretch is 5-8 mile long and the short
est straightaway is 1.25 feet. It will be
a hard-surfaced course. Because of its
unique design and the problems it
will present, Roosevelt Raceway has
been accepted by the three “A” con
test Board as “the laboratory of driv
ing safety.”
Along "Gasoline Alley” at Indian
apolis, where the speedway stars are
preparing their motors for other Na
tional Championship campaigns,
many of America’s big league drivers
are planning new cars for the October
12 inaugural at Roosevelt Raceway.

NORRIS SOUGHT
FOR SENATE RACE
LINCOLN, Neb., June 4 (TP)
Personal friends of the veteran Pro
gressive Senator, George Norris, set
out today to draft him back into the
Senatorial race.
The Nebraska lawmaker announced
several months ago that he would
retire when his present term ends.
Not even the urging of President
Roorevelt could persuade him to
change his mind.
Norris’ backers have mapped out a
campaign to make his entering the
rr.ee imperative. They are sending
petitions throughout Nebraska asking
voters to join their drive.
Norris must file his candidacy by
October 3. By that time, his friends
hope to have 75.000 names on their
petitions urging him not to break off
in his 33-years of service in Con
gress.

BOOM SOUGHT FOR
FIRESIDE SEWING
NEW YORK, June 4 (TP)—Tne
merchandising expert, H. L. Benning
ton. proposed today that the Nation
al Retail Dry Goods Association
Launch a big-time campaign to boost
the interest of American women and
girls in fireside sewing. Bennington,
of Newark’s L. Bamberger and Com
pany, suggested the plan to some of
the men who would be most inter
ested—sewing machine men, cotton
men and spokesmen for the rayon,
linen, thread and allied industries.
Bennington suggested the cam
paign be financed with from $250,000
to $500,000 for one year. He said an
educational campaign might persuade
girls and women that they could do
well to pick up the needle and thread
and lend individuality to their own
garments at home.
The first regular English parlia
ment, comprised of the clergy, barons
and knights, convened in 1295.
The first Sunday newspaper, the
Sunday Monitor, was published at
Baltimore in 1796.
BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, June 5 (TP)—The
Boston Redsox are closer to Amer
ican League leadership today. The
Sox jotted down another item in the
win column when the Boston team
beat the Cleveland Indians, 4 to 3.
The league-leading New York Yan
kees, meanwhile, were dropping a 16
to 3 landslide to the Chicago White
sox. There are still plenty of games
separating Boston from the lead, but
Tom Yawkee’s boys are confident that
the Fourth of July, at the latest, will
find them out in front.
In other American League games,
the St. Louis Browns beat the Wash
ington Senators, 6 to 3, and the De
troit Tigers hammered the Philadel
phia Athletics, 18 to 9.
The National League leaders, the
New York Giants, lost yesterday to
the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 5. The Pitts
burgh Pirates beat the Boston Bees,
7to 5; the Brooklyn Dodgers man
aged to take the St. Louis Cardinals,
4 to 3, and the Cincinnati Reds wal
loped the Phillies, 5 to 3.
Sally League
The Columbus Red Birds came out
of their prolonged slump last night
down in the Sally League when they
got to the offerings of Jake Levy, the
Savannah Indian hurling star to cop
the game from the Tribe by the score
of 3-2. Nailing Levy for ten hits, the
Birds flew high to offset a rally by
the Indians in the sixth inning to
keep the game on ice. Jacksonville
continued their hold on first place
with a close 5-4 decision from the
Augusta Tigers. Going into thirteen
frames, the Tars won the game by a
hard single by Rip Dunbar to cop
the first game of the series with the
felines.
The last game of the circuit brought
the Macon Peaches together with the
Columbia Senators with the final
count being 4-2 in favor of the boys
from the middle Georgia city. Show
ering Perkins with ten hias, the
Peaches laid to with a vengeance to
finally come on the top.
