DEAD HEAT —Corundum, on ouUide, and liolator, on rail, run a
4*«d heat in race at Belmont park.
INDIANS IDLE TODAY
Sadly in need of a rest after a
somewhat ardous road trip and
home stay, the Savannah Indians
will remain in Savannah today for
an off day, taking up their dia
mond battles tomorrow when they
journey to Augusta to take on the
Tigers in a th”cr game series
which should i/e the start of a
winning streak for the Indians
after their prolonged losing string
of games. Needing the services
of their stellar catcher, Tucket,
who is in the hospital for a much
needed rest cure after the strain
of the entire season of playing, the
Indians are looking forward to the
return of the backstop. Back in
the second division, the Tribe is
fighting hard to get back into the
niche they formerly occupied be
fore their final slide.
SAVANNAH TRIBE
TAKES SPOTLIGHT
LOCALS HOLD HOME RUN
' AND BATTING
LEAD
The Savannah Indians took the
Sally League spotlight from the rest
of the ancient circuit’s clubs when
they placed men in two of the homer
positions of the league leadership in
batting average and home runs.
Nick Etten slugging outfielder for
the Tribe, got his eye on the ball and
is slugging the lock to the tune of
.400. A newcomer to the ranks of
the Indians, the f . ner Scranton,
Pa., player has shown his seels to the
rest of the players In the home
run division, Savannah is again in
the front with Jake Hines, Eddie
Moore, Tuckey tide at four apiece.
Oheler of the Columbus Red Birds
also is in this division with four
homers. Stratton of Jacksonville,
continued to hold the pace for the
most base hits when he rang up a
total of 60 for his season’s average.
Walker, a teammate, is in front and
clearly the Class of the Sally League
pitchers with .a total of six victories
and one defeat for a well-earned
mark of .857. In only other .im
portant feature of the league statis
ticians, Gruzdis of Columbus lead'
with the most runs tallied in 44.

ALEX. J. MORRISON
mum**
* ALEX i>.y*IRISON says:
If there is anything that might
be called a secret to success in
golf, it is the proper hip action.
This hip action can be had only
when the correct body balance is
maintained- This balance in turn
depends mainly on keeping the
weight properly distributed be
tween the heel and toe of each
foot.
Few players have experienced
the correct heel and toe balance,
hence today’s exercise. One—
Stand fully erect with your head
and eyes up and arms behind you.
Two —Shift your wight to the
right leg and swing the left foot
* over and around the right foot.
Three —Drop the left foot back
into position and shift the weight
to this leg. Four—Then swing
the right foot over nnd around
the left foot.
This swinging of the feet places
the leg supporting the weight in
the proper position with the
weight about evenly divided be
tween the ball and heel of the
foot. Do this, exercise easily a
number of times without stop
ping. At first It may cause you
to feel that you are losing your
balance but you’ll soon get used
to the new and proper balance.
JOHN TYRE WINS
OPEN TOURNEY BY
DROPPING STAR
CHIBOUCAS LAST VICTIM
FOR SEEDED NO. 1
OF SAVANNAH
Play.ng a fast game on sweltering
court, John Tyre yesterday afternoon
def-atod Anthony Chiboucas to cap
ture the Jones Company men’s open
single; tennis tourney.
Co;::istently placing his spots in
unreachable comers for Chiboucas,
Tyre swept through the match with
out ever finding himself in a real
hole. Chiboucas’ methodic determina
tion was in marked contrast to Tyre’s
occasional displays of temper, result
ing in part from Tyre’s one apparent
weakness, his serves.
Bursts of brilliant play cropped up
at times when Chiboucas rallied to
stem Tyre's steam-roller progress, but
the sporadic comebacks were never
sustained long enough to threaten
Tyre’s lead. Sweeping John from his
feet in the first set of the afternoon,
Anthony captured the initial game
before Tyre realized his best efforts
were necessary if he were to keep
clean his record of no-sets-lost. From
th non Tyre's driving out-witted
Anthony until a short rally put the
fifth and sixth games into the Chi
boucas camp, which was of no avail
when Tyre put the set on ice by win
ning the next three.
The first game of the third set was
won by Chiboucas, the next two by
Tyre, who then allowed the opposi
tion one game more before bearing
c’own in the final drive to win four
straight.
CRYSTALS DEFEAT

SUGAR REFINERY
AGGREGATION
Clearly the class of amateur base

from the Pelicans.

run gathering the Crystals played
heads-up ball behind the ten hit
pitching of D. Grevemberg, and once

hurler, to the ranks of the Indian
moundmen, when they nailed the of
fering of the star pitcher to the cor
ners of the outflung garden to thor
oughly blaot the Tribe from the field,

had no trouble in overcoming an
early lead by the Savannahians to
cop the game in th:ir winning side
of the ledger. Jake Levy was called
upon in the last half of the fourth
to take the brunt of the burden off
Lowe and he finished the game with
cnly two runs being chalked against
him.
The Indians got an early start when j
Mccre singled and then on successive !
plays ran the paths until he was en
trenched on third base. Etten, then
brought him in with a ceep fly to
center. Jacksonville likewise added a
tally w r hen Benner was scored by
Dunbar in the first stanza. Savannah
got the ball rolling in their half of
the second when two men crossed the
platter as a result of walks being is
sued to Hines and Taylor. Eddie
Mcore then stepped into the breach
again and doubled the two runners
hem? with a drive into leftfield for
his second hit of the day.
From there on it was just another
ball game for the boys of Babe Gan
zel, getting runs in the fifth and
sixth innings, the Tars, had the game
well in hand for the rest of the route.
Getting a total of 12 hits, the Tars

A modern ice refrigerator will cost you only half
the amount you are figuring on spending. It will
use so little ice that the ice service man need come
only once in several days. Foods stay fresh longer
because they don’t dry out. Strong food odors don’t
taint other foods . . . because, they are quickly car
ried away through the air-conditioning chamber. In
this way foods retain all their natural nourishment
and there is no loss through spoilage. Only ICE can
