NEW YORK, June 29 (TP)—The
Chicago Cubs sat on top of the Na
tional League heap today and passed
out the word that they were there
to stay.
The Cubs gained the top rung of
the league ladder by reason of two
shut-out victories over the New York
Giants. The Windy City lads took
the first game 4 to 0 and came back
to take the nightcap, 6 to 0.
In other National League games,
the St. Louis Cardinals bowed to
the Brooklyn Dodgers, 5 to 1, in the
second game of a double-headed bill.
The first game was postponed be
cause of wet grounds. The Pittsburgh
Pirates divided a double-header with
the Boston Bees, winning the first.
11 to 2 and dropping the second
game, 6 to 4. The Cincinnati-Phillies
double-header was rained out.
In the American League, the Cleve
land Indians beat the Boston Redsox,
11 to 3; and St. Louis Browns split
a double-header with the New York
Yankees, 6 to 3 and 7 to 4; the
Washington Senators beat the Chi
cago Whitesox 12 to 9, in 10 innings
in the first game of their double
header. The Sox came back to take
the closing game from the Senators,
4 to 1. The Detroit Tigers walloped
the Philadelphia Athletics 4 to 1.
j Sally League
The second half of the Sally
League opened yesterday with an
auspicious start. The Savannah In
dians, showing vastly improved form
on the diamond, took the measure of
the Augusta Tigers, 3-1, in a game
featured by the air tight hurling of
Patchin for the Tigers and Emil Roy
pitching splendid ball for the Indi
and. The Tiger righthander got in
trouble in the first half of the
ninth, when through the errors of
his teammates, the Tribe scored two
runs to put the game on ice. The
Columbus Red Birds started their
final drive by taking a ball game
from the Macon Peache.?, 5-2. Both
teams played listless ball to finally
wind up with the Birds on the long
end of the score. The last game in
the circuit found the Jacksonville
Tars handing a trouncing onto the
platter of the Columbia Senators, 4-3.
Bitterly contested throughout the
entire route the Jacksonville aggre
gation scored the winning run m the
last half of the ninth to get off to
a perfect start for the second half.

MERMEN TO RACE
SEA ISLAND TEAM
CASINO POOL SITE OF BIG
SPLASH NEXT SUNDAY
AFTERNOON
The announcement by Capt. Lind
sey of Sea Island that the Savananh
swimming team has been chosen to
play an imoprtant part in the final
stages of the (Bicentennial to be
staged at Sea Island the latter part
of the week. By racing the Sea Is
land team will open the swlmimng
i
, season for the locals with a bang.
The meet is scheduled to take place
in the Casino pool Sunday at 3
, o’clock and will terminate many
weeks of practice on the part of the
locals who will take to the water
j against one of the fastest teams in
> the south.
The local stars will be headed by
: John McKenna and J. B. Holst. This
■ pair has been showing the form which
i has swept them to the peak in South
i ern swimming circles, and should
prove worthy antagonists to the high
ly touted aggregation from Sea Is
land. Burns Atkinson, the new diving
find of the Savannahians has been
practising dalyi and the ten foot
board with its category of Intricate
twists and turnings is sure to wind
up behind the eigh. ball when the
stocky built veteran takes to the air.
Richard Miller, the former Savan
nah High backstroke star is set for
the resuming of his triumphs upon
his return from Clemson. Having had
an enforced layoff due to the lack
of swimming team practise, the rec
ord smashing star hopes to duplicate
his former swimming form in his par
ticular type of aquatic endeavor. The
free style swimmers will be headed by
1 Holst and Ellis in the dashes and
Bowyer taking care of the middle dis
tance sprints. The trio of rollicking
aces will have their hands full when
they tie up Powell of the Sea Island
team.

INDIANS VS. TIGERS AT STADIUM TONIGHT AT 8:15
ROY’S TWIRLING
AIDS TRIBE TO
TRIP TIGERS, 3-1
INDIANS’ MAKE SECOND
HALF SCHEDULE DE
BUT IN VICTORY
The Savannah Indians yesterday
made their debut in the second half
of the Sally League an auspicious
one, when they played a tight game
of baseball behind the eight-hit
hurling of Emil Roy and won from
the righly revamped Augusta Tigers,
3-1. The revamped lineup which the
Indians trotted out on the Held look
ed good.
Scoring two runs in the ninth to
sew up the game, the Indians saw
their lead threatened when the Ti
gers came to bat, when with run
ners cn first and third, Johnny Jones
came to bat and laid down a roller
to Hilcher who took the ball for the
out. The two runs of the Tribe in
the first half of the ninth came as
a result of some freak plays after
which Williams came in on a single
by Etten, who then came in on the
next play as the Augusta shortstop
misjudged an easy grounder of El
liott who beat out the throw with
Etten scoring.
The lineup presented several prob
lems with Pickens a pitcher in the
outfield, Elliott, the regular left field
er on third base, and Jake Hines be
hind the bat in the role of catcher.
The heavy catcher's mit seemed to
have no weight in slowing Hines
down at the platter, however, be
cause he got his eye on the ball to
make two out of four safeties.

FATHER AND SON BATTLE
GRAND CIRCUIT IN ACTION
SOME TROTTING BACKGROUND
By BILL BRAUCHER
Central Press Sports Editor
FIRST BLOOD in the duel between
Gibson White and his father, the
veteran Ben F. White on the har
ness tracks, was drawn by Gibson
at Lexington . . . driving the bay
filly Caromel, the youngster beat his
dad, driving Mack Abbey, to the wire
in two out of three heats.
The father-and-son battle promises
to be one of the features of the
Grand Circuit from its opening June
29, in Cleveland, to the last’ race,
Oct. 3, at Lexington . . . from Cleve
land the trotters and pacers go to
Goshen, N. Y., then swing into Maine
for the first time with a meeting at
’ Old Orchard Beach . . . the schedule
from then on is Goshen, Springfield,
Ill.; Milwaukee, Columbus, 0., Indian
apolis, Syracuse Reading and Lexing

That's Lots of Oats
The Grand Circuit is the big trot
ting wheel, buj» does not cover the
sport . . . the country over there will
be some 750 meetings in all this sum
mer. with prizes aggregating about
$5,000,000 . . . every county fair, of
course, has its race meeting ... a
statistician estimates there are 20 000
harness horses in the United States
. . . and the oats? you’d be surprised!
Reinsman Sep Palin, one of the
leading money winners of last year,
again is driving, as is the veteran
“ Doc” Parshall, who has won more
races in the last five years than any
other driver . . . Palin took two of
last year's most important races the
SIO,OOO Champion Stallion stake and
the Hambletonian, the horse in front
of him both times being Greyhound,
a horse rated by many experts as the
greatest the world has known.
They Must Be Told
To look' into the background of
harness racing: all horses are natural
runners . . . they must be taught to
trot or pace ... the English were the
first to teach the critters how to trot
. . . there is a 1791 record for a horse
trotting 16 miles in 58 minutes (under

Menke’s excellent 11 Sports Record
Book . . . but Herbert Manchester
disputes this as the first trotting
exhibition, asserting in carefully
compiled book. "Four Centuries of
Sport in America”, that horses were
trained to trot about 1770 but pre
viously had been taught by hobbles
to pace.
A running horse, Messenger, which
never trotted a step in his life, was
founder of Ue trotting horse family
in the United States . / . Messenger
was imported from England for stud
purposes by a horseman at Bristol,
Pa. . . . Henry Astor bought the horse
and it stood at his Long Island place
for about 15 years dying in 1805 . . .
all of Messenger’s offspring were run
ners, too, but the old horse’s grand
children were found easy to teach
the secrets of trotting and pacing . . .
the great Hambletonian, lineal sire
of most of the trotting horses in
America today, was a son of Messen
ger.
Pacers are a bit faster than trot
ters . . . the pacing record is
1:55 1-4, held by Dan Patch since
1905 . . and Peter Manning’s trotted
mile of 1:56 3-4 has been tops since
1922.

LA MOTTE’S INDIANS REVAMPED AND
SET FOR INVASION TIGERS TONIGHT
The merry crew of Savannah In
dians fresh after their win from the
Augusta Tigers yesterday in the home
of the North Georgia club, came Into
town this morning confident that
they will make it two straight over
the revamped Tigers to keep thsir po
sition up near the top so the circuit.
Although they played with a make
shift line-up yesterday the Indians
appeared to have their eyes on the
ball, and even Patchin, the ace hurler
for the Tigers, was unable to do any
thing with the heavy murderer’s row
of the Tribe.
The game is scheduled tonight to
start at 8:15, with the "bearded
wonder,” Jake Levy high on the driv
er’s seat of the Indians seeking to
hurl a victory over the Tigers. The
roly-poly righthandei is more than
anxious to hang up his first win of
the second half at the expense of the
Felines. Horgan will more than likely
resume his catching duties for the
NEWS BOYS NIP I
BLOOMINGDALE
A shower of hits were the feature
of the game played yesterday between
the Morning News Deuces and the
Bloomingdale CCC boys on cne lat
ter’s diamond. Running eight in
nings by agreement, the game went
to the News boys by a score of 9-8.
This gives the teams one game each,
with the rubber to be played next
Sunday at Bloomingdale.
The Morning News Deuces’ ace
batter was Henry, pitcher, who got
three hits out of four times at bat.
Dent, also of the Deuces, slapped
out a homer an da double in five
chances. Two doubles each went to
the credit of Chalker and Diamond
of the CCC contingent.
rie Van Horn of Germany won her
fourth round match in the women’s
division. Miss Hilda Sperling of
Denmark and Miss Jadwiga Jedrze
powska of Poland were also victori
ous. The continental stars all won
at the expense of English players.
Indians because of the illness of
Znpic, which caused the enforced use
of Hines, a third baseman, bthind
the bat in yesterday’s game. This, in
addition to McKinsey, new first sack
er, who will make his debut in today's
game in the ranks of the Indians,
promises to bode trouble for the
Tiger team-
Manager Bobby LaMotte, genial
bossman of the Tribe, promises the
taem will finish first or second. The
ex-big leaguer by his persistent ef
forts to weld a winning combination,
at last thinks he has the proper
working group to finish among the
leaders in the final drive. Only a
few of the veterans remain who
started the season with the Tribe.
It has become the habit of the fans
to see a new face in the Indian uni
form at the average of one a week,
but by this measure, it as to be ex
pected that LaMotte will come
through in the end.
