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.

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 BEACH PELICANS SIXTH STRAIGHT WON BY SUGAR REFINERY AGGREGATION Clearly the class of amateur base ball around this locality, the Savan nah Sugar Refinery won their sixth game in a row yesterday when they thoroughly subdued the Savannah Beach Pelicans, 10-4.
