Indians And Senators
To Lock Horns Again
At Stadium Tonight

CLOSE VICTORY COLUMBIA TEAM LAST NIGHT FAILS
Td DAUNT SPIRIT OF LAMOTTE’S TRIBE;
J KASKY MAY HURL THIS EVENING.
Losing a hard fought battle, last
night has proven to be no setback
to the spirits of the Savannah In
diana who tonight will again go
against the Columbia Senators in a
game to start at 8:15. With the likely
selection for mound work being Art
Kasky, Manager Bobby LaMotte will
further the cause of a smooth work
ing combination, in order to give the
other teams a fight in the second
half of the schedule.
The addition of Linville, Williams
and Pickens on the field last night,
served notice on the leaders of the
loop, that the Indians are set for a
battle with no holds barred and the
sky the limit. No team knows this
better than the Jacksonville Tars
who saw their league lead wiped out
by the Indians, and sent on the
skids.
The Senators last night presented
the Indians with a bouncing 4-3 deci
sion. Packed full of thrills, the In
dians tried hard to overcome an early
lead, but were unable to pull the fat
out of the fire. Getting away to a
three-run lead in the first stanza,
the Senators, backed up with brilliant
fielding, held on to the slim margin
of victory behind the nine-hit hurling
of Harkrader.
Loading the bases with McQuaig,
Mirtin and Gulian in one, two, three
o der, the Senator’s shortstop, Kane,
trove a hard ball down the third
base line, scoring McQuaig and Mar
tin, with Gulian coming home on
the next play on a single by Spur
lin. The Columbia aggregation again
scored in the next stanza when
Harkrader scored on a infield play
by McQuaig. This completed the scor
ing for the Senators for the night
with the Indians trying desperate!” to
tie the score in the fourth and fifth
stanzas.
The fourth provided the fireworks
for the locals when “Big Charlie”
Hllcher drove a homer into the left
fk’.d stands scoring Williams ahead
o' him for the two tallies. The fifth
i ining started well for the Tribe, but
soon fizzled short of the one run,
the locals needed to cop the game.
Pickens and Moore led off with
angles, and the new righthander,
came home on a crashing drive by
Linville.
Both teams had to be content with
these runs, with the game finishing
in the same order as the final stanza
was played. Pickens, ( the new hurler
for the Indians was stingy at times
with him allocating 11 safeties to the
betters of the Senators. Except for
the bad first inning which all three
ru is were unearned, the slim young
si °r was never in trouble and pitched
t'?ht ball for the remainder of the
distance. Charlie Hilcher, the first
sacker for the Tribe, got is share of
the glory when he got two out of
four to take the batting spotlight from

BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, June 16 (TP)—The
Chicago Cubs go up against the »?v
--enth place Philadelphia Nationals to
day with high hopes of stretching
their 11-garne winning streak out an
other notch and drawing closer to
the National league leaders, the St.
Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals meet the Boston
Bees, while the Pittsburgh Pirates
journey to Brooklyn to meet the
Dodgers. The New York Giants play
host to the, Cincinnati Reds at th»
Polo grounds.
In the American league, the New
York Yankees are at Cleveland to
fight to keep their league lead. The
Boston Red Sox will meet the Chi
cago White Sox in the Windy fifty
and the Philadelphia Athletics meet
the St. Louis Browns at St. Louis.
The Washington Senators journey to
Detroit to try their luck against the
Tigers.
No games were scheduled in either
league yestrday.
The Jacksonville Tars broke back
into the winning streak again, after
somewhat of a prolonged lay off,
when they took the luckless Augusta
Tigers for the proverbial ride 15-1.
Scoring at will, and falling upon the
work of two Tiger pitchers, the Jack
sonville aggregation played tight base
ball behind the five-hit performance
of Bazner to run up the amazing to
tal of tallies. Perhaps the most
thrilling game of the circuit was in
Columbus where the Red Birds, by
a hard fought rally in the latter
stages of the game, won over the Ma
con Peaches, 10-9, to hold their slim
lead of league leadership over the
Tars. Starting in their half of the
ninth, the Birds overcame a two-run
lead to win behind the hitting of
Judd, their stellar hurler who relieved
Lynn. The last game of the loop
found the Columbia Senators taking
a 4-3 decision from the Savannah In
dians in a game featured by the
hurling prowess of the new right
hander for the Tribe. Morris Pickens.

LOUIS-SCHMELING
BATTLE EXPECTED
BREAK RECORD
MILLION - DOLLAR GATE
MADE BY TUNNEY-DEMP
SEY MAY FALL
By BILL BR AU CHER
Central Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK, June 16.—Nine years
after the million-dollar prize fight
gate faded with the last Tunney-
Dempsey battle at Soldier Field. Chi
cago, it flowers again in New York,
June 18, when a Negro boy from
Alabama meets a German ex-cham
pion in 15 rounds at Yankee stadium.
The faces are new but the idea is
the same. The crowd is paying its
dollars expecting to see a savage
show such as Dempsey enacted at
Toledo against Willard, and at the
Polo grounds against Firpo. Joe
Louis is the Dempsey now, with the
killer punch. Max Schmeling, the
German, is an ex-champion, trying
to accomplish a task at which many
men have failed, to fight his way
back up the hard road to the top.
The new Tex Rickard is Mike Ja
cobs, who learned his crowds as a
ticket speculator on the sidewalks of
New York.
What There Is to See
The fight is unique in the annals
of the ring. There is no title at stake
but the show has all the essentials
of a championship. In the back
ground now is Jimmy Braddock,
story-book champion of last year,
who waits eagerly to meet the win
ner. Never has a non title fight
been staged with the tremendous ap
peal of this contest between a negro
and a white man.
To most of the close followers of
fights, the outcome is a foregone con
clusion, yet the crowd is coming to
see it through. Louis is favorite
at almost prohibitive odds, and nine
out of ten believe he will win by a
knockout. Yet the thousands want
to see it, and through the country
millions will listen at the radio.
There is no championship at
stake, but the punch of a future
champion—Joe Louis—is what the
whole country wants to see, to hear
about, to read about, to discuss. Max
Schmeling is a man cast in the role
of guinea pig about to enter a fistic
laboratory for a big experiment in

the physical science of punch-ology.
The dark-browed German, with a
reputation for being able to take it.
and to deal out a powerful punch
with his own right hand, is the most
formidable opponent the Brown
Bomber has encountered in’ his swift
rise to the top. The formula of the
Bombers fistic ability will have to be
rewriteen by the chroniclers of this
engagement.
Can He Take It?
Will Lovis be the same super
puncher he proved to be against Baer
and Camera? Or will he find his way
to victory only after a terrific strug- j
gle with the hard-jawed German?
Will those short right hand punches
of Schmelings throw the Negro off
balance, and give the answer to the
question most often asked, “Can Joe
Louis take it?”
