f MEET SENATORS TONIGHT
KSLSKY SLATED FOR MOUND DUTY IN GAME THIS EVE
. NING AT CITY STADIUM; RED BIRDS MOVE
, INTO FIRST PLACE.
Sadder but wiser, the Savannah
Indians trooped into town today aft
er a somewhat disastrous week-end
which saw them losing a pair of
garnet to the Columbus Red Birds.
No doubt too much baseball was the
answer to the situation, because of
their leaving here Saturday night
and playing the games the following
day. Coming back to Savannah to
day the Indians hop< to resume the
killing pace they set last week.
Art Kasky is slated for mound
duty today with the hopes of Bobby
IxMotte pinned on his back to cop a
game from the Columbia Senators.
V’lt'h the boys from the lodine state
11 fourth place, a trio of victories for
the Indians would place Savannah
in fourth or at the top of the heap
in the second division.
The game is scheduled for tonight
with the players trotting out to their
position at 8:15.
I BASEBALL RESULTS |
NEW YORK, June 15 (TP)—lt’s
mother blue Monday for major league
Baseball fans today. Teams in both
the National and the American
eagues are traveling on one of those
Sast-West shifts that pop up every
o often on the major league sched
ik’s. Eastern American league teams
ire starting out on an invasion of
•he western ball parks while the west
•m nines of the National league are
.leading East to do battle with their
lectlonal foes.
The shift finds the Chicago Cubs
going strong and menacing the long
standing National league leadership
held by the St. Louis Cardinals. The
Cubs won their eleventh straight
game yesterday when Frank. Dema.ee,
□ub outfielder, banged out two hom
ers to pave the way for a 3 to 1 vic
tory over the Boston Bees. The Cards
beat the Phillies, 12 to 10; the Cin
cinnati Reds won from the fading
Brooklyn Dodgers, 5 to 1, and the
flew York Giants ended their losing
streak by taking an 8 to 0 shutout
’rom the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Rain spoiled the Detroit-New York
and the St. Louis-Boston games In
the American league. In the two
games played, the Philadelphia Ath
letics won from the Cleveland In
dians 8 to 6, and the Chicago White
Sox took over the Washington Sena
tor#, 6 to 4.
Sally League
The Savannah Indians, after their
fine work in stopping the Jackson
ville Tars for three straight games,
ren into a tartar yesterday when Co
lt mbus dropped them for two straight,
4 2 and 5-3. Jake Levy and Emil
Roy shared the loser’s spotlight for
the Tribe in this pair of hard fought
battles.
The Augusta Tigers, continuing
their complete reversal of form,
nicked Columbia to the tune of 5-2,
in a game featured by tight fielding
and stingy hits. The Tigers are de
termined to make a bid to come out
of the cellar in order to pass the Sa
vannah Indans. Meanwhile, in the
last game of the circuit, the Jack
sonville Tars lost their league leader
ship when they bowed to the Macon
Peaches, 2-0,

The Red Birds yesterday won both
ends of a double header, 4-2 and 5-3
to go Into first place tn the league
standings, as their batting aces got
their eye on the ball against Jak4
Levy in the first game, and Emil Roy
in the night-cap to sweep into tbj
leadership.
Levy let the Birds down with eight
hits, but due to several bad innings
which had the veteran on the spot,
the Indians were unable to hold
onto a slim lead and lost the first
game in the latter stages of the set
to. Roy on the other hand, was lib
eral with the base punches in the
nightcap when he allocated ten blows
to the Birds who took advantage of
the breaks to cop the final.
Columbus got away to a good
start In the first game when they
pushed three runs across the platter
in the third inning as results of base
blows by Oheler, Harris, Healy and
Tutaj to take an early lead which
proved sufficient to win the game,
but the Indians came back and threw
a scare into the ranks of the Birds
when they took up ther bludgeons in
the fourth and nailed Crockett for a
pair of tallies. Etten hit a hard
ball to the right field stands with
Moore on the paths to almost tie the
score. The Birds got another tally
in the eighth to further augment
ther score whch was already suffi
cient to cop the game.
The second game proved to be a
thriller with the Indians taking an
early lead only to have the Columbus
club overhaul them and win the
game. Two tallies were pushed
across, but Columbus evening the
score in their half of the stanza. The
Birds took the lead in the fifth In
ning to have the Indians come back
when Hllcher singled and then came
in on a blow by Colburn.
The game was won by the Colum
bus Red Birds In the sixth Inning
when they nailed the offerings of
Roy for two runs to cinch the game
and series.

OUTBOARD RACER
INJURED IN SPILL
SPRECKELS RETURN TO
BOAT RACING MARKED
BY BAD CRASH
SEATTLE, June 15 (TP) —The
young millionaire sportsman, Adolph
Spreckels, lies dangerously injured to
day.
Spreckels when a speed
boat he was raring at Green Lake
went out of control, struck the beach
and threw its driver high into the
air. The young millionaire was cat
apulted into a telephone pole, where
he hung suspended for several min
utes before rescuers lowered him to
the ground.
Spectators said the throttle of
Spreckels fast motorboat apparently
became jammed when he headed his
craft towards a dock at the close of
a regatta race. The speedy beat
smashed into a group of onlookers,
several of whom were hurt in the
freak accident.
Spreckels, who is the grandson of
the sugar king, John D. Spreckels of
California, has long been prominent
in motorboat racing circles. Recently
he announced he was through with
racing, but the lure of the Green
Lake regatta proved too much for
him. He borrowed a boat to enter
the race which ended so disastrously
for him.
ETTEN WITH .372
LEADS IN BATTING
Nick, Etten of the ’Savannah In
dians led his opponents to the wire
for the second week straight ia the
batting honors for the Sally league.
The husky gardener is batting at a
.372 clip to keep ahead by a good
margin of the fast-flying Early of

The Indians haye another player

Savannah and Gehle? of Columbus
are tied for the lead in home run

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1936
INDIANS VS. SENATORS HERE TONIGHT AT 8:15
BEHOLD THE BUSHERS!
By WALTER JOHNS
(Central Press.)
STUART MARTIN-
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
FRECKLED STUAT MARTIN, the
second Martin on the St. Louis Card
inal roster, is just a rookie, but if he
keeps up his hitting and fielding
pace as second baseman, even the
seasoned Frankie Frisch will have to
throw in the towel and sit on the
bench.
Frisch retired to the bench weeks
ago because of a Charley horse. Stu
took the job, and recent averages
gave him a slugging mark of .384, sec
ond best in the National loop.
Pro Three Years
Stu is only a youngster as far as
baseball goes. He has been playing
professional ball only three years, hop
ping into the pro field with Houston
1934, right from college. The rook
was a student at Guilford college in
North Carolina and captain-elect of
the baseball team when he decided
that baseball had a bigger appeal
than a degree.
Following his tenure >with Houston,
Stu went to Columbus of the Amer
ican association at the start of 1935
and whaled the ball for a .378 mark
in 13 games. He moved to Asheville
of the Piedmont league and finished
the season there with .332 in 118
games. At Asheville he played first
second and the outfield. His fielding
mark of .982 was the bst in the loop
for second basemen.
In spring training with the Cards
this year, Stu starred at third base.
His fielding was sensational for a
rook in the big time and his hitting
heralded the promise he virtually has
fulfilled to date.
Not a Fat Man
The Martin man bats left-handed
and throws right. Six feet in height
he is a slim youngster of just 155
pounds. He is 22 years old, was born
in Rich Square, N. C., and makes
his home at Severn in the same state.
The other Martin on the Card ros
ter is the venerable John (Pepper)
Martin. A team with two Martins and
two Deans should get along.
est men in the league with a stand
ard of 18 stolen bases as their
quota. Goat Walker, as usual, is
leading rival pitchers with a mark
of eight victories and one defeat.

I SEA ISLAND TEAM
SWIMS CITY STARS
ADDITION OF MILLER AND
HOLST AUGMENTS
RANKS OF LOCALS
The scheduled meet between the
Sea Island swimming team and the
aquatic stars of the city, received an
other setback yesterday when
through the delayed arrival of sev
eral swimming stars for the Island
team, they were unable to go through
with the meet. However, the 21st
has been set as a dead line for the
exhibition in the Casino Pool at Sea
Island. The natators who have been
training here for two weeks in anti
cipation of the swim, will take a two
days lay-off to oversome some signs
of staleness which have begun to pop
up in the ranks.
John McKenna, and Wilfred Ellis
are the swimmers who Coach Samuel
Rhode, Jr., is worried about. Com
pletely off form these two men are
giving no end of trouble with their
lack of form which has brought
about a complete reversal of form.
Counted on to cop the breast events,
McKenna will resume practice after
a lay-off in order to regain his rec
ord smashing form. Ellis, is expect
ed to be back in shape by the end of
the week, with hopes of regaining
some of his lost prestige in the free
style events.
Two new faces have joined the
ranks of the Savannahians. with the
addition of J. B. Holst in the diving,
and Richard Miller in the back
stroke. Two boys who are well
known to the swimming public of
the city, Holst and Miller will re
sume where they left off last year in
their meets with the Savannah team.
Expected to make the trip are:
Bragg, Ellis, Weeks, Bowyer, Me-
Kena, Richards, Holst, Reese and
others will be on hand for the open
ing meet of the season.
At Great Falls, Mont., the Missouri
river passes over a series of cataracts
descending a distance of 350 feet in
16 miles. The highest falls are 87
feet.
The 13 original states, comp# ng
the United States in 1790, had a total
area of 892,135 square miles of which
nearly 25,000 square miles was water.
