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. I Compare , lv*Si jO® WITH ANY OTHER IBiMfel.

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.

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 that competition is terrific. Two of 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.

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.

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.
