INDIANS RESTED, READY TO TAKE AUGUSTA TODAY EMIL ROY TO TWIRL AS TRIBE RESUMES SALLY LEAGUE ACTIVITY With the hopes that their day seat will do them good when they re sume diamond warfare with the Au gusta Tigers today in the North Georgia city, the Savannah Indians this morning entrained for the cage of the “cats." Emil Roy will take the mound today for the Tribe with the expectation that he can start the In dians back on another streak which will push them up into the head of the second division. The securing of two men, to fur ther plug the gaps apparent in the fielding of the Indians in their last 10 games, has brought forth new comments on the parts of the base ball critics. Just whose place they will take is a master for conjecture and the “smart" boys are guessing who will be shunted out. Linville, an infielder is coming here from the Pirates who believe him ready for this class ball, will arrive in the cty in the middle part of June. The other player is Van Groski who is being sent here by Scamton on op tion. Playing in tihe backstop posi tion, Van Grosky is the answer to the apparent needs for the utility man behind the plate. A general shakeup is expected in the ranks of the Tribe as they swing into the latter stages of the first half of the season’s schedule. No hope being held for them for the win ning of the first half, the Indians are devoting their time and effort to make up of their second half aggrega tion. ?? GRADUATES ??

Ellis is expected to take care of the 50 yard free style and Holst is to swim in the 100. Their support will come in the form of Luke Bowyer who will shoulder the burden in the 200, and Darken, Weil, and Weeks taking care of the relay and medley. McKenna and Richards will have comparitively easy sailing in the breast stroke events as it is a known fact that the Sea Island club is woe fully weak in this style stroke, and GIAA champion.

WILBUR LEE BRUBAKER — PITTSBURGH PIRATES Wilbur Lee Brubaker may not be another Pie Traynor, but the third basing rookie for the Pittsburgh Pirates is a counterpart of the re vered Pie physically. And, that may be said for his present hitting prow ess so rthe Pirates. Wilbur Lee is only Pie’s under study, but he has been minding that hot corner for the Pirates like no body’s business, fielding beautifully and keeping his average around the .350 mark. As Buddy Lewis of the Washington Senators may be said to be the prize infielder of the rookie crop in the American loop, so is Wil bur Lee the prize infielder in the National league. Wilbur, better known as Bill, has been the property of the Pirates since 1932 and has been up to their train ing camp twice before. This year he comes up from Kansas City, where he hit .293, whic’.. included a flock of extra-base blows. Cleveland to Hollywood Bill was bom in Cleveland just 25 years ago, but he is a Hollywood, Cal., lad. H 3 moved there some time ago and is a product of the University of California at Los Angeles, where he was graduated in 1932, with a bachelor of arts in ppolpitical science. At U. C. L. A. he was on the foot ball and track teams and played some baseball, although most of his base ball was outside work. He was picked up by the Tigers and sent to Beau mont. Let out, he was taken by the Pirates, who sent him to Albany, To ronto, and last year to Kansas City. A right-handed hitter, Bill also is adept at any position in the infield. He filled in at frst base for Dale Al exander wth the Kansas City club, and did well. He really Is a third basing expert, however. Bill is married, has one child,, lives in Hollywood in his off season and spends that time as anaero mechanic. He is built along the lines of Traynor, six feet tall, and scales 175 pounds.

MORRISON ■■ 11 Central Prvaa Awocmtion— . ■ , WEEKLY \ \fl Pevelopimg pgopeq arm AMD MMP POSITIONS.. ALEX MORRISON says: The correct swing looks so simple that it should have a sim ple explanation. This is what every golfer thinks and so far he is right. The catch comes when he tries to make and keep his swing simple, there is the main difficulty, right in this very sim plicity. But here’s an exercise, away to move your hands and arms back and forth by which you can learn a good part of the correct swing. Stand fully erect with both arms fully extended—have the palm of the left hand facing down, palm of the right facing up. Then the hands to gether interlocking the fingers as shown in the accompanying illus tration. With the hands held together, move the arms around to the right with the proper body turn and then move both arms and body back toward the left. Keep the arms moving back and forth in creasing the backward turn of the body each time. Go through this routine two or three a day, if you can. At least do it every day and you’ll eliminate at least half the kinks in your present swing. Next: More by Morrison. BB i
