SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, SUNDAY, JUNE 28. 1938
INDIANS VS. TIGERS AT AUGUSTA TODAY
INDIANS SPLIT
DOUBLE HEADER
WITH PEACHES
LOSE FIRST GAME BUT
COME BACK STRUNG
IN SECOND
The Savannah Indians after look
ing like a glorified bunch of chorus
girls in the first game of their dou
ble-header against the Macon Peaches
yesterday at the stadium showed a
surprising reversal of form to win the
last game of the series. The final re
sults of the games were 4-2 and 9-2.
Everything seemed to go wrong for
the Tribe in the first game with Ed
die Moore supplying the leading role
of “supreme booter.”
Moore redeemed himself in the last
game, however, when he played a fast
game and supplied plenty of batting
punch to put the Indians in scoring
positions several times.
Bob Harris started the first game
for the Tribe but was yanked in favor
of Lowe in the early innings of the
game. Art Kasky hurled a splendid
game in the nightcap. The “murder
er’s row’’ of the Indians more than
did themselves proud in the nightcap
to thoroughly snow the Peaches un
der.
Little activity marked the first
game. Both teams went scoreless for
two innings, until a walk allowed
Maltzberger of the Peaches by Har
ris developed into a tally when Gam
ble singled and Moore booted the
ball, allowing Maltzberger to cross the
plate. The Indians evened up in
their half, when Moore came in on
a single by Williams. The local boys
took the lead in the next chapter,
but were left in a rut too deep to
climb out of when the Maconites
shoved across three counters in the
sixth. The final count stood 4 to 2
for the visitors.
Piqued by defeat, the Indians even
ed the double-header by winning the
nightcap. Behind the sterling pitching
of Art Lasky, righthander, the Tribe
got away to an early start, shelling
Smith, pitching for the Peaches, with
an avalanche of runs. The boys from
middle Georgia seemed unable to
cope with the batting artillery of the
aroused Indians.
The ball started rolling for the
home team with Hines’ single in the
first, followed by a steal to second.
A single by Williams then brought
the Wily Hines scampering home.
Two more hits and Williams was in.
and a double steal filled second and
third. Another single, and Etton
crossed home.
A home run in the third by Gam
ble provided the only tally for the
visitors, and the ball game then
turned into a push-over for the lo
calities, who scored a total of 9 runs
to make it 9 to 2. The second hom
er of the game came when Williams
met a scorcher squarely on th? end
of the bat, and sent it soaring over
rightfield.

(With Sports Observer.)
What has happened to the auto racing game in Savannah?
We formerly had about five races a year and then it kept drop
ruing until the present race events are stretched over a couple of
years. Certainly it can’t be because of the lack of local talent
with the names of the Jenkins brothers, Bubber Reardon and
Jack Donkar dotting Savannah’s streets with their highly spe
cialized speed creations. It can’t be because of the absence of a
track, because the existence of a fine one-half mile track at the
fairgruonds has had some of the finest of the country’s racing
elite cutting those turns and straight-aways at better than 100.
Then what is the matter? Is it because of the lack of available
promoting facilities, is it because of the lack of interest in auto
races? Hope some day that we can go out and watch the Millers
coming out on the home-stretch with their varied symphonies
of steel harmony bellowing forth their strains of high speed.

GIRL SWIMMERS LOOK GOOD
If Uncle Sam doesn’t win a single
specialized field of athletic endeavor
in the coming Olympics, he can be
counted on to have one part of the
huge assembly of athletes wearing the
stars and stripes up near the top
rung, and that is the girl’s swimming
team. They are, without a doubt, the
fastest women in the world in the
realm of aquatic sports, whose worth
has been echoed the universe over by
the leading swimming coaches and
j critics. Varying in ages from 2-yep.r
--| old Mary Hoerger the diving star from
Miami, to the senior member of the
team, Georgia Coleman, the contin
gent of record holders which will sail
soon for the Olympics in Berlin, will
be the greatest array of stars the
United States has ever put before the
critical eyes of the athletic world.
“Katy” Rawls from the municipal
pool at Fort Lauderdale is easily the
fastest woman swim_.er the world has
ever known in the breast stroke and
medley events. This being borne out
by the fact that on Friday she set
her sixth consecutive world record for
the 300-yard medley, bodes trouble for
the other countries in the world wid*
contests. Eleanor Holm Jarrett has
yet to be licked in the back stroke
events, and the comely star is in bet
ter form than ever. With a supporting
cast of such swimmers as Lenore
Kight, Margarie Gestring Johanna
Gorman, Harriet Vance and others,
it’s gonna be a case of “watch us go!”

DIXIE CRYSTALS SHINE
Did you know that Savannah is the
home city of an amateur baseball
team that can make the rest of the
southeast look sick when it comes to
trotting out a club which se’ks to
knock the team from their lofty
perch? Out at the Sugar Refinery,
the Dixie Crystals have been winning
so many ball games, that it is news
when they lose. At the beginning of
the season, they gave the highly
touted Savannah Indians a pair of
interesting games which found the
pro club playing mightily to overcome
leads the Crystals had put on them.
Watched the Crystals play the other
day and they have an infiled that
can play with most professional clubs,
and when they start at the beginning
liams 3. Elliott 3. Hilcher. Two
base hits: Sorenson, Elliott. Three
base hits: Zupic. Home runs: Gam
ble, Williams. Left on bases: Macon
5; Savannah 3. Stolen bases, Etten
two.
* *
of their batting order, it is a case
of ‘‘Kitty, bar the door!” Cause what
it takes to shove those tallies across,
the boys from the “Sugar Hill” have
it. Having a reputation for late start
ing in a game, the locals really get
their eyes on the ball when they are
a few runs behind in the closing in
nings of a game.
Add More: As nervous as Rusty
Tuckey . . . Jake Levy’s three-day
beard which has yet to fail him . . .
as fast as Garriott, the Columbus
centerfielder, whe nhe gets on base
. . . the gracsfulness of Bums At
kinson, the new Savannah swimming
star, on the high board ... as lithe
as Claude Harmon on the follow
through of a 275 yard drive . . .
the strut of Bobby LaMotte . . .
the temperment of Savannah’s lead
ing tenis star. John Tyre, which nets
him exactly nothing ... as sure as
Raymond Demere when he is at the

all in all, it’s a grand world! . . .!

WATCH YOUR CAPS!—Charley Gehringer of the Tigers, sliding
home with some excitement, seems to be losing his cap.,
LA MOTTE’S TRIBE
TO MEET TIGERS IN
AUGUSTA TODAY
BOLSTERED BY NEW PLAY
ERS SAVANNAH LOOK
ING FOR VICTORY
Sadder but wiser fronj their experi
ences in the first half of the sched
ule for the Sally league, the Savan
nah Indians are in Augusta today to
take on the Tigers for the first game
of the last half. Bolstered by the
addition of several new players, the
Indians hope to move into the first
division of the league and stay there
until the final gun sends the various
teams in the circuit home for the
winter.
The local fans have been support
ing the Indians to their very best ca
pacity, but the working combination
which is necessary to put a club on
the top of the heap has been unable
to get going with the result that the
first alf was devoted in its entirety
to secure the proper men to fill the
galring gaps which continually kept
cropping up. Manager Bobb)’ La-
Motte will take to the diamond wars
today with but l semblance of the
old team that started the season.
There have been many players which
have taken to other clubs, or have
been released outright which couldn’t
fill the needs of the Indians, and the
genial bossman of the Tribe is hope
ful that th? present arrangement will
more than take care of the pennant
hopes of the local club.
The Augusta fans are on edge to
watch the outcome of today's game.
With their brand new infield which
was the talk of the Sally league critics
in the closing days of the first half,
the Tiger fans are hopeful that the
end of the season will find the Tigers
battling with Jacksonville for the
honor of being league champions.
Certainly it is not to be denied that
the Tiger aggregation deserve all the
breaks with the hectic start that they
had at the beginning of the season
and then winding up on the bottom
at the end.
Macon, Columbus and Jacksonville
are entering the home stertch with
practically the same members with
which they took to the opening games.
There have been practically no
changes in these forimdable clubs.
