FOREST CITY CLUB
IN SHOOT TODAY
Today marks another chapter in
the weekly shoots of the Forest City
Gun club as the city marksmen who
compete in these events stand on the
firing line. A number of Savannah’s
best shots will vie today on the range
as they take their sights on a row
of fifty clay birds. E. J. Oliver, W.
W. Sprague, B. O. Sprague, and a
host of others will decide the weekly
champion of the pits.
There will be nothing unusual in
today’s shoot with the exception that
it will be the last before the Fourth
of July, and all members will hope’
f<jr the best at the proverbial turn
ing point of the present shooting sea
son. Starting in the early afternoon
at the club on the Municipal airport,
the marksmen are primed for the
event.

WIFE MAKES SURE OF
HUBBY STAYING SINGLE
PEABODY, MaSs., July 2 (TP)
Twenty-five years ago Mrs. Belle Cor
riveau sat down to draw up her will.
She was extremely fond of her hus
band, Jceepi, and couldn’t stand the
ideaof his taking a second wife, in
case she preceded him in death. She
left her property to her husband, but
only on condition that he remain
single.
Mrs. Corriveau’s will was filed in
prlbate court at Peabody, Mass., to
day. Her property was valued at
$6,000. There is little chance that
Joseph Corriveau will lose the legacy
by taking another wife—for he is now
85 years old.

A bullet you can hear won’t hit
you! Bullets and most shells have a
velocity greater than the speed of
sound so that one hears the projectile
after it has passed. As a bullet passes
a sharp crack is heard. The condensa

of the bullet (which creates the
sound) are transmitted sideways but
not forward. *

INDIANS, PERCHED IN FIRST PLACE
AFTER SENSATIONAL WINNING STREAK
TAKE ON SENATORS AGAIN TONIGHT
EMIL ROY SLATED FOR MOUND WORK THIS EVENING;
COLUMBIA THROWS SCARE INTO RANKS
OF TRIBE IN FOURTH INNING.
Hoping to continue their winning
form, the Savannah Indians will take
on the Columbia Senators again to
night in a game scheduled for 8:15.
Displaying a drive that has had the
bleacherites gasping ab the heavy hit
ting of th eentire team, the Indians
are now entrenched in first place and
hope to remain there for the rest of
the season.
Manager Bobby LaMotte appears to
have the proper working combination
with the present Infield, and now that
Downer has started hitting the ball,
the outfield appears to be intact for
the rest of the season. Emil Roy is
slated for mound work tonight, and
the stocky righthand hurloi’ is primed
to continue the streak of the Tribe.
Cop Fourth Straight
The Savannah Indians continuing
their flashing style of offensive at
tack, last night won their fourth
straight of the second half, from the
Columbia Senators, 5-2, in a game
which was thrilling throughout the
entire distance with Bob Harris hurl
ing for the Indians and Buck Weafer
taking care of the mound chores for
the Senators.
Getting started early when they
pushed three runs across the plat-

press 4-'’ Z
ter in the first inning, the Indians
scored again in the fifth and sev
enth to make the final tallies more
binding. Moore, first man up in the
opening frame, slammed a triple oft
the left field wall, coming in on a
high fly to the outfield by Hines.
Downer then walked, going to third
on a single by Williams, the second
sacker. Nick Ebten then hit a ground
er to Spurlin, who threw wild in an
attempted double play, with Downer
scoring. Hilcher then got a single to
score Williams for the last run of the
stanza-
The Senators threw a scare into
the workings of the Indian machinery
in the fourth ijinlng when they
tallied two runs' to make the game
hang in the balance. Rex was walked
and came in on a triple by Martin.
Cummings, next man up. nailed a
single and Martin scored. This ended
the scoring threat for the game, and
Columbia had to be content with play
ing a defensive game throughout the
rest of the distance. The Indians got
another run in the fifth and one in
the seventh to more than sew the
g me up.
Harris in Form
Bob Harris let the boys from Cap
itol Hill down with seven hits as the
huge righthander bore down in the
pinches to hurl a masterful game.
Striking out eight men, the genial
pitcher was accorded fine . upport for
the entire distance. Little Eddie Moore
led the batter's parade when he got
three out of five to boost his aver
age well into the .300 select circle.

INDIANS VS. COLUMBIA AT STADIUM TONIGHT AT 8:15
Baseball Results
NEW YORK, July 2 (TP).—Three
American league baseball teams are
tied up in a knot today for second
place in the league race. With the
New York Yankees far out in front,
and increasing their lead with every
crack of the bat, the second-place
struggle is proving most of the in
terest in the league fight.
The Detroit Tigers, the Washing
ton Senators and the Boston Red Sox
are on even terms in the second-place
race. The Washnigtonians drew up
even in the race when they took a
double header from the Philadelphia
Athletics, 13 to 5 and 14 to 4. The
Tigers, at the same time were wallop
ing the Chicago White Sox, 21 to 6,
while the Yankees were blanking the
Red Sox, 5 to 0. In another double
header, the St. Louis Browns beat
the Cleveland Indians once, 16 to 12,
and were tied, 5-all, with the Indians
at the end of the ninth inning when
darkness ended the game.
In the National league, the St.
Lous Cardinals were dropped back a
peg by their 9 to 4 defeat at tho
hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The
Brooklyn Dodgers split a double
header with the Phillies, wyining the
first, 6 to 1, and booting the night
cap, 10 to 3. The Boston Bees took
over the New York Giants, 8 to 6.
The game between the Chicago Cubs
and the Cincinnati Reds was post
poned on account of rain.
The Savannah Indians yesterday
moved into first place in the Sally
League when they vanquished the
Columbia Senator, 5-2. Showing an
advanced style of attack, the Tribe
got the measure of Weafer in the
opening stanza to put the proverbial
‘ Indians” sign on the esries ambi
tions of the Senators. Hitting the
ball to the four comers of the lot, the
Indians continued their streak of vic
tories, running them up to four. The
Macon Peaches did everything wrong
in their game with the Augusta
Tigers finally ending the game on
the short end of the score, 16-2. it
appeared to be just “one of those
nights” for the Peaches, who tried in
vain to stop the crushing roller of
‘he Tigers.
The last game of the circuit found
the Columbus Red Birds getting to
the highly touted “darlings” of the
Jacksonville Tars 9-3. Lamb, the
righthan?! ace for the Tars appeared
to be easy picking for the Birds as
he was blasted all over the field in a
shower of hits.
