RACING DRIVERS
PRIME FAST CARS
TRIO OF LOCAL STARS TO
PARTICIPATE IN FLOR
IDA EVENT
Savannah s knights of the roaring
road are grooming their mounts for
assaults on the Southern beach tracks
auto racing records when they go to
the racing wars in the events to be
staged on Jacksonville Beach, July 4.
It was ascertained the formal entry
blanks for a trip of local drivers have
already been sent into the office of
Eddie Bland in Jacksonville.
Bubber Reardon, Dick Jenkins and
Bob Jenkins have already signified
their Intention of driving in this ma
jor speed event, and the hum of the
racing motors in their fast jobs can
be heard throughout the city as they
prime for the race. Reardon is all
set with his Miller Schofield Spe
cial, and the diminutive driver hopes
for Southern recognition from the
races. Having gained an enviable
name in the recent AAA races on the
fast Lakewood track in Atlanta, Rear
don is rapidly gaining prestige among
the country’s foremost drivers.
Dick Jenkins will have his Riley
Special well in hnad when he crosses
the starting line on the Fourth. Hav
ing just installed a pair of quick
acting carburetors, the popular driver
whose name is well known to Savan
nah fans, can be counted on to finish
wel among the leaders. Bob Jenkins,
a brother of Dick, is the veteran of
the trio. Always known to furnish
the needed thrills on a race track,
the tousled hair speed star will be
among his friends when he steps
into the working compartment of his
small Miller Special. Known through
out the country, Bob has consented
to drive in the races to add color to
the annual event.

INDIANS RESTED,
READY TO RESUME
SENATOR SERIES
“RED” HORGAN, CATCHER,
SIGNED BY TRIBE; BE
HOME TOMORROW
The Savannah Indians, anxious
after their enforced rest yesterday in
Columbia because of wet grounds,
will resume their present diamond
rivalry with the Senators tonight.
Originally intended for a three game
series, the Indians are working might
ily to iron out the flaws apparent in
their first half play, both in working
combinations, and the addition of
new players.
It was released last night from
Bobby LaMotte, the genial manager
of the Indians that “Red" Horgan,
late of the Birmingham Barons, has
been signed as a catcher to bolster
the sadly depleted ranks of the Tribe.
Coming here with an enviable reputa
tion of having batted .277 in the AA
association, the former Holy Cross
baseball star is slated for big things
in the second, half of the season
which opens Sunday when Savannah
treks to Augusta for the opener.
Five games remain to be played
by the locals in the first half, all of
which have been scheduled for the
Savannah field. Macon is the last
team for the Indians to play in the
first half. Playing an afternoon and
night game tomorrow, the Peaches
will wind up with a doubleheader Sat
urday to ring down the curtain on
a hectic first session.
Tuckey, whose hand was badly hurt
in a game the first part of the week,
'has been left in Savannah until the
injured finger can heal enough to re
sume playing. It is believed that this
accident is the cause of the new
catcher being hired to take the place
of the vociferous backstop. Having
had hard luck the entire season with
his hands, the rusty haired Indian
star, is taking things easy until the
Indians come back into home terri
tory when he will join up again in an
attempt to help put the Indians at
the top of the list for the second half.

TALES IN
TIDBITS
By BILL BRAUCHER
(Central Press Sports Editor)
WASHINGTON was picked for a
spot behind the eight-ball . . . but
with midseason just around, the cor
ner, the Senators were in third place
. . . where did Washington get all
that power?
"Maybe we’re up there because it’s
a presidential year,” Bucky Harris
told the writer. “We just got rolling
and kept right on. When a team gets
going, the boys play better than they
are supposed to sometimes. We’ve
been hot, even with our best hitter,
Buddy Myer, on the bench.”
When would Myer be back?
"We don’t expect him much before
July 4, maybe later. (Anemia, stom
ach trouble.) Ossie Bluege has been
playing a dandy game at second base.
Lewis at third is turning out to be
all we expected him to be, maturing
into a real star. If we had a couple
more pitchers we might be the boys
to beat the Yankees.”
That seemed to be the problem this
year.
“If they had De Shong back, the
Yanks would just about breeze in.
Jimmy was Just a bull pen pitcher
until we got him away from the
Yanks, and now he's not only going
great for us but he’s about as good
as there is in the league. Buck New
some has been going great for us. So
has Whitehill. So has Appleton.”
Quaint Crowd, on Paper
Funny about those pitchers. De
Shong was practically a castoff until
he got started with Washington. Ap
pleton (formerly Jablonowsky) was
an Indian castoff. Cascarella was an
Athletic castoff. Whitehill was the
only veteran on the staff. Weaver
hadn’t been able to get going, and
Linke finally was sent to Chattanooga
for a left-hander named Sydney Co
hen. That was the staff. Not a pitch
ing staff to get excited about.
“Well, every pitcher we’ve got is
doing better for us than for the team
he left. Maybe it’s because they get
more chances to pitch!”
Another answer might be that
Bucky Harris always managed to
squeeze the very best right out of a
pitcher. But, of course, nothing was
said to Mr.. Harris about that. He
would just laugh.
Odds and Ends: That Bob Smith
you’ve been reading about, pitching
with the Bees, is the same gjnt who
came up to Washington from Beau
mont as an infielder, in 1921 . . .

Bucky Harris Charle* Dresten
they wasted four years of Bob’s young
life (he’s 38 years old now) trying
to make him an infielder at Wash
ington, New Orleans and Boston
. . . finally Boston put him on the
slab again in 1925, and he’s been
there ever since . .. except for one
lucky year, 1932, when he got into
the world series with the Cubs . . .
Bob is an old Atlanta boy, shortstop
for a churcn league team . . . and
he owes his return to the slab to the
coaching of Dick Rudolph.
Manager Charley Dressen of the
Reds was invited to sepak before an
industrial league banquet . . . and
spent the evening panning softball,
praising the lads for playing regula
tion ball . - . after the speech a
friend leaned over and told him it
was a softball league. . . . Max Baer
isn’t out of the fight picture yet . . .
have you noticed how he’s popping
over the boys?
That boat race at Poughkeepsie,
today will be more than a struggle
between east and west . . . three
men who learned their art under the
Knute Rockne of rowing, Hiram Con
nibear, coach rival crews.
The three are Ky Ebright of Cali
fornia, A1 Ulbrickson of Washington
and Rusty Callow of Pennsylvania
. . . each teaches, with modifica
tions, the stroke they learned from
Connibear, who may be called the fa
ther of rowing on the Pacific coast.
Connibear had an odd background
for a crew coach ... he never was
an oarsman ... his line was train
ing bicycle riders, and at one time
he was trainer for the White Sox
. . . but when he went to Washing
ton he developed some great crews
and great coaches before he met his
death by falling out of an apple tree.
Most conspicuously successful of
Connibear s pupils in recent years is
Ebright . . . and Ebright never was
an oarsman either! ... he served
as coxswain in the saem boat in
which Ed Leader, now crew coach at
Yale, pulled an oar . .- Ebright crews
have won the last three regattas on
the Hudson, and the last two Olympic
rowing events . . . Ulbrickson, who
captained and pulled an oar in the
1926 Washington crew, developed an
eight this year which nosed out Cali
fornia over a three mile route in
spring.

Olympic Roll Call
Charles Beetham ... another
Ohioan bound for Berlin.
CHARLES BEETHAM—BOO METERS
The second best point-maker on
Ohio State university’s track team is
Charlie (Chuck) Beetham, middle dis
tance ace of the Western conference.
Jesse Owens usually comes through
with four first places in any meet for
the Bucks, and his teammate, Chuck,
comes in with one or two, without
fail. >
This, together with the fact that
Chuck is credited with the fourth
fastest time in the world over the
880-yard, or Olympically speaking,
the 800-meter route, stamps him as
probably the second Ohio State repre
sentative to go to Berlin.
Stretch Runner
Chuck is a good-looking, long, lean
type of athlete, is a whirlwind over
the distance made famous by Blazing
Ben Eastman, the ex-Stanford world,
record holder for the route. He pos
sesses that much-needed stretch drive
that characterizes most middle-dis
tance runners.
Desite the fact that Chuck was
conditioned slowly this spring, he has
come through admirably for the
Bucks. He started off early by indoor
appearances. He ran a close second
in the Millrose games in New York
and then annexed the Big Ten indoor
title in slightly better than 1:57.
He has garnered numerous firsts
in dual and triangular track meets.
He successfully defended his Big Ten
half-mile championship this year and
set a new record of 1:52.4 minutes,
replacing Charley Hornbostel’s 1934
record-
Relay Anchor Man
Chuck ran a brilliant anchor for
Ohio State’s two -mile relay team to
nose out Manhattan's great quartet in
the Penn Relays. His most recent ac
complishment was one of the finest
races of his career in the dual meet
with Southern California, Chuck cov
ering the distance in 1:53.5.
The Ohio State lad has run the
800 meters in 1:52 flat, only a cou
ple of seconds over the world record
set by Eastman.

pummelled Castleman, but Terry
grimly refused to remove him from

it sheer brutality . . . others believed
it good psychological treatment of
Castleman’s strange case . . . wat

have done the same thing without

it’s just the difference in people, and
the way they do things.
