FORT PULASKI TEAM TROUNCES SCREVEN CLUB In an unlooked for upset, the Fort Pulaski Civilian Conservation Corps nine yesterday administered a 13-2 beating to the Fort Screven aggrega tion, to cinch the title for this dis \ trlct. Playing on their home diamond, the Pulaski boys gave a generally good account of themselves, making only four errors throughout the gam.e Two I of these in the second inning were j developed into their only scores by the Fort Screven delegation 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!

(Central Press) 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- FULL "ft fIHB COVERAGE 'A SWT VA ■ TKANS- LOCAL tkkWF radio SPORTS - Cs LEASED CENTRAL f * =^x V V** WIRE 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. The scores yesterday: COLUMBIA AB. R. H. PO. A.

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1936 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. AMERICAN LEAGUE R. H.
