DEMERE TO MAKE
TOURNEY SURVEY
LIKELIHOOD OF SAVAN
NAH HAVING MAJOR
GOLF TOURNEY
The prospects for Savannah hav
ing a major national golf tournament
In the early spring was yesterday
heightened by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce selecting Raymond De
mere, chairman of sports activities
to make a survey of the possibilities
of such an event.
The last time that the city has
seen championship matches was in
1930 in the Southeastern Open when
Bobby Jones came out of retirement
and took on the field here at Sa
vannah Golf club only to lose to the
shotmaking ability of Horton Smith
who was burning the winter circuit
at that time.
Such an attraction wo .. ning re
nowned players here who would be
on their way into the western circuit
from the Florida tournaments. The
new crop of pros would make their
first appearance here for the first
time with the usual sprinkling of vet
erans balancing the field. Crulck
shank, Revolta, Manero, Cooper and
many others could be induced to
make Savannah their stopping point
for the tournament.

INDIANS - TIGERS
SPLIT TWIN BILL;
BOTH GAMES FAST
FELINES LOSE DAY TILT
1 TO 0; COME BACK AT
NIGHT, 2 TO 1
After dropping the afternoon game
in Mieir series 1-0, with Augusta, the
Savannah Indians came back in the
final set-to with the Felines to cop
the game 2-1. Playing superb ball
behind the two-hit hurling of Bob
Harris, the Indians got their eye on
the ball in the nightcap to score
their tallies in the second and sev
enth stanzas.
Augusta scored the lone run of the
first game in the fourth inning when
Legon, who doubled, came home ors a
single through third base by Cum
mings. Playing tight ball throughout
the rest of the game, the Tigers back
ed up the five hit hurling of Patchin
to go out in front and hold it. Emil
Roy for the Tribe gave five hits, and
the loss of the game appeared to be
the well known fact that the Indians
got runners on bares and they were
left there with no support from their
following batsmen.
The second game was a thriller.
Savannah jumped into an early lead
in the second inning when Etten
the right fielder for the Indians
slammed a triple and then came in
on a double by Hilcher. Augusta tied
the score in the fifth, when Adamski
scored the Feline’s only tally of the
game. The Indians soon broke away
in the seventh though, for the last
run of the night-cap when Taylor
was walked In. Bob Harris was
clearly the class of the game with his
hurling. His teammates got to
Jonny Jones for six hits to account
for the slim margin of victor”. El
liott starred for the batter’s parade
in the first game when he nailed
two out of three, and Hilcher the
former Tiger cast-off took the b\-
ting spotlight in the night-cap, when
he rapped out two out of four.

By WALTER JOHNS
WILLIAM (BILL) SEFTON hopes
to rise high in the business world
when he finishes his college career
at the University of Southern Cali
fornia. But that’s natural, you might
say, for Bill has gone pretty high
in his profession—pole vaulting. So
high, again you might say, that he’s
certain to be one of the United States
boys going over there for the Olym
pics.
You know’, it’s funny about these
U. S. C. athletics. There are so many
of them that are tops in their events

BASEBALL RESULTS |
NEW YORK, June 11 (TP)—
Brooklyn’s last place Dodgers are out
in Cincinnati today for a night game
with the Cincinnati Reds. Their
star pitcher, Van Lingle Mungo is in
New York—demanding that be be
traded to some other team. Mungo
ran out on bis team yesterday at
Pittsburgh. He announced that he
was tired of pitching for a club that
gave him minor league support and
said he would quit baseball unless be
was traded.
Just to make it a perfect day for
the Dodgers, Pittsburgh walloped
them 6 to 3. The only other national
league game saw the. Chicago Cube
score twice in the ninth to beat Phil
adelphia, 4 to 3. It was the seventh
straight, for the Cubs.
In the American league Boston
nosed out Detroit, 4 to 3, and Cleve
land walloped Washington, 10 to 2.
Salty League
A double header featured the day’s
schedule in the Sally League yester
day when the Savannah Indians
hooked up with the cellar position,
Augusta Tigers. The Felines won the
first game 1-0, when Patchin hurled
the first shutout game for the Tigers
this season. The Indians came back
with a vengeance in the night-cap.
however, and behind t?.e two hit
pitching performance of Harris, their
stellar right-hander, won the game
2-1. Featured by the bitting of Etten
and Hiclher, the Indians garnered
6 hits to grab the lead and hold
it. In the last game of the circuit,
the Columbus Red Birds won from
the Columbia Senators, 10-9 in a
game of thrillers with Oehler, the
Bird infielder, playing the proverbial
hero when be slammed a single in
the last half of the ninth to score
the winning run for the Birds. The
only other game scheduled for the
League was rained out in Jackson
ville, with the Tars scheduled to take
on the Macon Peaches.

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1936
SEFTON ON OLYMPIC ROLL CALL
the Southern California boys, Roy
Staley and Phil Cope, are parallels
over the high hurdles. Bill Sefton
has the same fight on his hands with
Earle Meadows, another Trojan boy
who also is a record breaker in the
pole vault.
Both Bill and Meadows tied for
first in the N. C. A. A. last year and
then tied for first in the National
A. A. U. event.

Bill holds one distinction alone,
however. And that is the national
interscolastic pole va<ulting champion
ship, set in 1933, and which he still
retains. Bill was a member of Poly-
INDIANS PRIMED
TO TACKLE TARS
TRIBE WILL MEET LEAGUE
LEADERS HERE
TONIGHT
The Savannah Indians came back
to town today with one thought in
mind, and that is to take the meas
ure of the rollicking, cocky Jackson
ville Tars who are opening a stand
here in the city. Anxious to turn the
heat on the Tars and blast them out
of first place, the Tribe headed by
Bobby LaMotte, who has repeatedly
voiced his intention of taking the
Tars over the hurdles, will take to the
field tonight at 8 15 to try and an
nihilate the Floridians.
A new lineup will face the bleach
erites when the Indians trot out to
night. On third there will be Ben
nett, the free lance infielder who was
shifted from second when Colburn
was re instated by President Wiker.
In the backstop position there will be
Van Grofski, who is making his initial
bow before his new home crowd in
tonight’s game.
With no hope for finishing on top
in this half of the league race, the
Tribe seeks to unseat the Tars in the
series and advance to the top of the
heap in the second division. Making
a series of changes in order to pro
vide a proper working combination,
Bobby LaMotte, manager of the team,
is sparing no pains to provide a win
ning combination.
Jake Levy, the smiling righthander,
will take the mound tonight in what
he hopes will be another victory
chalked in his winning column. A
three day’s beard on his face, bodes
but one thing for the Tars, and that
is that Levy will be in there hurling
his slow, tantalising drops and fast
breaking curves.
In early days of the United States
Military Academy at West Point,
! when cadets ranged in age from 12
1 to 34 and won commissions as of
ficers in as short a time as four
months, 194 cadets rebelled against
their officers and brought suit in
court in an effort to establish that
they weren’t subject to courtmlartial.
A new commandant had to advertise
for the return of the cadets!

HOSE HAVE COLOR
By BILL BRAUCHER
Central Press Sports Editor
THE WHITE SOK have been out
drawing the Cube in Chicago, which
burns up Philip K. Wrigley, president
of the Bruins . . . another reason for
Mr. Wrigley’s burning up is the fact
that the scribes insisted Wrigley’s
aversion to parting with cash was
holding up the recent transaction of
Chuck Klein for Curt Davis . . .
though Wrigley insisted the cash ask
ed by Philadelphia had nothing to
do with the case, the scribes told the
world the dough was the sticking
point.
Unpopularity of the Cubs is not
Owner Wrigley’s fault, however . . .
the White Sox, though struggling
along in sixth place, are fighters, led
by a first-class fighter, Jimmy
Dykas . . . The Pal? Hose have parti
san followers in Chicago who wouldn't
go to see the Cubs play . . . the team
has color and life . . . Rip Radcliff
lias been playing the Babe Ruth role
this year . . . and there is no better
shortstop in baseball than Luke Ap
pling who has been racing Bill Knick
erbocker of the Indians for All-Star
selection . . . Knick shades Luke a
bit in fielding, but Appling is far
ahead on the attack.
