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.

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. 30 PER CENT.
