DOUBLE-HEADER TO MACON; PRIMED FOR
COMEBACK WITH LEVY ON MOUND.
Going into the baseball wars to
night with the Macon Peaches in a
game scheduled for the stadium start
ing at 8:15, the Savannah Indians
are a grim faced lot, with their de
feats by the middle Georgia team
yesterday ranking in their minds.
Manager Bobby LaMotte is more
than detemlmed to try to get his
club back into winning form, due to
the shortness of time which remains
before the beginning of the second
half. Jake Levy Is expected to hurl
the game for the Indians today, and
the fact that genial “Jake” hasn’t
shaved for three days bodes trouble
for the Peaches batsmen.
Drop Double-Header
The Savannah Indians playing like
school boys yesterday dropped both
ends of a double-header to the Ma
con Peaches. The first game went by
the score o CT-2, and the farce night
cap being nailed to the records by
the score of 14-6. All In all, the base
paths looked like the proverbial
merry-go-round with the Peaches
being in the role of the men at the
controls. This, cqmbined with the
fact that only a comparative few of
lhe faithful baseball fasn attended the
tfternoon session accounted for a
£iserable day in the annals of the
ivannah Indians.
The afternoon game got away to

advancing to second when Hargrove
nailed a single to score Sorenson on
the next play. Blaermire then caught

The Indians got one back in their
half of the fourth when Hines scored
big Charlie Hilcher with a single.
The Peaches completed their scoring
for the day when Purcey and Gam

singles by their teammates. The
Tribe got another tally in the eighth
when Etten scored Elliott who came
from second in a fast play.

A golf tournament to attract na

prospect for Savannah in the spring

held yesterday by the sports commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce and
various interested Savannahians.
With a prize value of about $3,000,
the tourney is to be approved by the
Professional Golf Association of Chi
cago, and a date set by that body. Fol
lowing lengthy discussion, as to whe
ther amateur or professional entries
would be more valuable to the city, it
was decided to hold the open tourna
ment as being more valuable both
from a commercial and notoriety
standpoint.
It is expected that Bobby Jones
will be extended an especial invita
tion to enter the competition, as he
was in the 1930 tourney here. Other
leading professional golfers of the
country are expected to enter.
The motion to make the tourney
a professional one was made by Har
vey Wilson. Raymond Demere, chair
man of the sports committee, ap
pointed H. L. Manley chairman of
the golf cmomittee, and empowered
him to appoint sub-committees as nec
essary.

NEW YORK, June 16 (TP)—The
gas house gang from St. Louis clung
grimly to a two-point lead in the
National League today. The Cardinals
took a thumping from Philadelphia
in the first part of a double bill.
They won the second and stayed just
on top. Chicago’s Gibs bounced
close beliind them by walloping Bos
ton’s Bees, 1 to 0 and 8 to 4. Gus
Mancuso hit a homer in the ninth
and New York’s Giants beat Pitts
burgh, 5 to 4. Cincinnati took a dou
ble bill from Brooklyn.
In the American circuit, New York’s
Yanks beat Chicago, 7 to 6. The Sen
ators slapped the Browns, 12 to 5;
Boston beat Cleveland, 9 to 4, and De
troit smothered the Athletics, 13 to
1.
Sally League
The Savannah Indians continued
their downward skid yesterday in the
Sally league when they dropped both
ends of a double-header 7-2, 14-6, to
slip further back into the relative
obscurity of fifth position. Doing
everything wrong, the Indians played
listless ball to continue their slump.
The Jacksonville Tars lost to the Co
lumbia Senators, 5-4, in a game which
was featured by hurling on both sides
of th? question. Having an excellent
opportunity of stepping forth and
gaining another game on the Colum
bus Red Birds, the Tars were unable
to cop with the batting attack of the
Senators, who took a early lead. The
revamped Augusta Tigers in the last
game of the circuit, more than took
the measure of the Red Birds 7-1.
Showing that their new infield had
worlds of speed, the Tigers looked
like a formidable contender for the
second half race.

WASHINGTON, June 26 (TP)—
Skeptical wrestling fans heard with
shame this morning that the match
they called a fake last night was
much too real for comfort. The wrest

to the canvas. Romano stayed there.
"Fake!” yelled the crowd. “800-oo!”
Romano died in the hospital a short

ALEX MORRISON says: .
Harry Cooper is a fine golfer.
His showing in the recent open is
not surprising to those who know
his game. Grantland Rice, fol
lowing him during his final round,
told me that he thought him a
sure winner.
Harry had every right to expect
. victory, that is every right but
one, the chance that Manero might
beat him. Worry about Tony
caused him to look up at the
wrong time. These lapses, though
brief, gave Tony the one chance
he needed.
It seems that Cooper and Ma
nero have considerable respect for
each other’s skill on the links, a
respect born of countless rounds
played together. Each thought
more about the other than he was
willing to admit during that final
round.
