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.

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. ■■■■■■■BHIHUnBaDGnBBBBHMHI ALL KINDS OF EATS & YOUR FAVORITE DRINK VISIT DUGGER’S wiTM/rowa OMKD OF Ittl Wbethejuocf WSal IH rauo OWN TASTE
