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.

THURSDAY NIGHT! ■< 4 - MAX SCHMEU NQ 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 Sr i\ x X ' - aF I\ V I Stuart Martin . . . puts Frisch on bench.
