AIR-CONDITIONED
Refrigerators
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
give this kind of refrigeration.

TOMMY DECKARD—3.OOO-MEiT.,
STEEPLECHASE
While the illustrious son of Indi
ana's track greats, Donald Lash, has
sent track fans into raptures by his
feats over the mile and two-mile dis
tances, another Indiana boy and
Lash’s teammate, Tommy Deckard,
today takes the spotlight as a candi
date for the United States Olympic
team. Deckard will make his bid in
the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Tommy hasn’t even reached his
twenties end weighs a mere 128
pounds, but already he has pushed
creditable records across the boards
and stands as one of the midwest’s
most formidable opponents of the
Lash lad.
Breaks Lash’s Mark
Tommy is 19 and only a sophomore
at Indiana. He hasn’t had much
collegiate competition, but he should
be one of the men fighting in the
finals for a place on the American
team.
Holder of the state high school
record for the mile run, Tommy
gained quite a bit of fame before
coming to Indiana. In achieving the
-tate record, Tommy broke the mark
made by Lash a previous year. Tom
my too ksecond in the national A. A.
U. cross country run last year, a race
which Lash won.
In the recent Big Ten champion
ships, Tommy ran a fairly close sec
ond to Lash in the two miles, a race
in wheih Lash set a new Western
conference record. In the mile, he
ran third, Lash again winning.
His only real competition on the
3,000-meter steeplechase this year
was in the Kansas Relays. Tommy
came through, however, winning a
good race in which he defeated,
among others, Glen Dawson and
Harold Manning, names to be con
jured with in distance running.
There are about 1,000,000 square
miles of lake and river surface in
the entire world, and nearly 2.000.0G0
square miles of islands in the seas.

SALLY LEAGUE RIVALS
SET FOR BATTLE IN
AUGUSTA TODAY
Not being able to play their game
with the Augusta Tigers yesterday in
the North Georgia city, the Sevan
nah Indians will get started today
when they take on the Felines in the
last game of the present series. Emil
Roy is slated tQ take care of the
mound work for the Tribe and the
chunky little hurler is ready after a
long lay off to attempt to push the
Indians back into the lead in the sec
ond division.
Being a conceded fact that they
are not able to finish on top in the
first half of the pennant race, the
Indians are building their team with
the hopes of copping the last half
laurels in a hard drive. The addition
of two additional players t the roster
of the Tribe bears out the fact that
Bobby LaMotte is devoting the inter
ests of Savannah's sport lovers to
heart. Always building up and tear
ing down the team with the hopes
of having a winning combination, the
genial bossman, is working hard to
have Savannah finish eithe, one, two.
Tuckey, the vociferous catcher of
tie Tribe will be back in harness
asain by the end of the week, after
. being laid up in the hospital after an
enforced rest by coctor’s orders. The
hard fightinj backstop wil' take up
where he left off when he quit the
position. Batting over .300, the red
haired catcher is thought to provide
the spark plug which has b-en sadly
lacking in the playing t>f the Tribe
in the last five games.
I BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, June 10 (TP).—Man
ager Rogers Hormby will be out on
first base again this afternoon when
the St. Louis Browns play the New
York Yanks. Hornsby broke into the
game yesterday as a sub for his in
jured first baseman. Hornsby isn’t
as agile as he was when he rated a.
the greatest batsman in National
league history but he’s still a great
leaner. He drove his team to a 5 to
3' victory over the league leading
Yanks. If he stays in the line-up a
few days, Rajah thinks maybe he can
pull his club out of eighth place.
The defeat cost New York a
chance to gain ground as the second
place Boston Red Sox were dropping
an 8 to 4 verdict to Detroit. Wash
ington beat Cleveland, 2 to 1, and
Chicago walolped Philadelphia, 5 to 2
in the other American league games.
National league competition saw
the Cincinnati Reds scoring their
second straight victory over New
York’s Giants, 15 to 4, while the
league leading St. Louis Cards beat
Boston, 7 to 5, and Pittsburgh trim
med Brooklyn, 4 to 1 and 7 to 5.
The Chicago Cubs won their sixth
straight game, beating Philadelphia,
6 to 3.
Sally League
Affairs are to normalcy in ths
Sally league when every game but
one was played, trie Savanah-Augus
ti game being rained out. In Jack
sonville, the Tars handed a double
dose of whitewash to the Macon
Peaches when they copped both ends
of a double-header to the scores of
4 3 and 3-2. Showing that they have
the class of the league in the first
half fight, the Tars went ten innings
in t he first game to. cop the set-to,
and in the second game, scored all
of their runs in one inning to win
from the Peaches. In the last game
played in the circuit, the Columbus
Red Birds nailed the Columbia Sena
tors 6-3, in the first game of their
present series. Paced by Judd, who
hurled a good game, the Red Birds
stepped out in front and were never
headed.

TUNNEY LOSES
THRILLING SCRAP
‘BATTLING’ LAW
EX-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAM-
PION STOPPED BY BAR
RAGE OF EVIDENCE
WOODBURY, Conn., June 10 (TP)
Gene Tunney used to be a pretty
good man on self defense—but he
called for help today.
Gene attempted to defend himself
in a legal battle last night. He lost
the deckion. The former world
heavyweight boxing chamcion im
mediately demanded a return match
—but he decided to let United States
Attorney General Cummings’ legal
firm handle the defense in subse
quent rounds.
Tunney was in court to fight his
arrest on a minor traffic charge at
Woodbury last week. He announced
that he would serve as his own de
fense lawyers—since his legal advis
ors had told him he was sure to win.
A constable testified that Gene
had passed a stop sign and traveled
some 150 feet after the constable
blew his whistle. Gene argued that
it was a ‘speed trap”—that he’d stop
ped his car before the whistle and
that the constable had lured him
into starting again so that he could
make the arrest and earn a fee.
Tunney made an impasioned argu
ment. He extolled the scenic beau
ties of the state. He told how he had
worked night and day to bring tour
ists to the state. He expressed the
hope that he hadn’t victimized the
people of other states by bringing
them into the maw of Connecticut
speed traps. He pledged himself to
spend five months a year fighting
speed traps. He promised that he
would carry the case to the Supreme
court if he lost.
Then the prosecutor got busy. He
rocked Tunney with the observation
that all of the former champion’s
eloquence was immaterial. He fol
lowed up with the jab that the
champ’s remarks were not based on
evidence in the case. He hooked the
groggy Shapespearean scholar with
the undeniable fact that there was
no evidence to support the “speed
trap” claim.
Then Justice Boyd put over the
knockout—ss fine and $5 costs.
GETTING HIS OWN MEASURE
“Does your wife lecture you?”
“Me?” exclaimed Mr. Meekton.
“Why, Henrietta wouldn't waste time
lecture a little bit of an audience
like me.”

BREAST STROKE SWIMMER
SET FOR BUSY
SEASON
John McKenna, the flashing breast
stroke ace cf the 1936 Savannah High
team and the present breast stroke
star of the Savannah senior swim
ming team, is showing to the rest of
the South his record smashing per
formances in the particular type
stroke he excels.
A little too young for the present
Olympic trials, McKenna will be in
shape for major competition when he
starts swimmuigL in the national
events. Coming* close to national
marks at the time, the lanky
star has becii ifeVoting his time ex
clusively to dual 1 meets between Sa
vannah High and the other GIAA
teams and in the off times, on the
city team. Having a record of not
defeats in two years, this youngster
is already priming his guns for as
saults on the Southern breast stroke
'records already in existence.
Winning the GIAA breast stroke
crown for the last two years it has
become a conceded fact that RcKenna
is one of the best in the south, but
who has e’evoted his time entirely to
competition and not time trials. Tak
ing this as an excuse for his not shat

summer holds prospects of him becom-
