INDIANS OFF FOR COLUMBUS TODAY TO MEET RED BIRDS IN CONTENT FOr* UNDISPUTED LEAGUE LEADERSHIP ART KASKY SLATED TO WORK TONIGHT TO HOLD CO VETED PLACE: SNOWED UNDER LAST HOME GAME. The Savannah Indians with base ball murder in their eyes and ven geance in their hearts, took the train out of the city last night bound for the home grounds of the Columbus Red Birds. Bowing before the bat ting onslaughts of the Senator bats in last night’s game the Indians seek to keep on top by virtue of a victory from the Birds. Today’s game should prove interesting because both the Indians and Red Birds are tied for first place, and the battle will de cide the real leadership of the cir cuit. Art Kasky, righthander is slated for the mound work, and from the pace that the pitcher has been set ting among the leading moundsmen of the league it appears that he will take his share of the spotlight in the game today. Snowed Under 11 to 0 The Indians struck a tartar last night when they ran against the six hit hurling of Terhune, the Colum bia righthand ace, who shut them out by the overwhelming score of 11- 0. The bats of the Senators worked overtime on the pitching efforts of Emil Roy and Jake Levy, as the Sa vannah moundsmen sought to stop the flow of runs from the bats of the Carolinians. It appeared to be one of those nights for the Tribe as they tried to run their winning streak of games up to five, but the spark which domi nated their play in the preceding games appeared to have been extin guished by Terhune who was cutting the corners and burning fast ball', down the center of the plate to thor oughly buffalo the Indians. Columbia got off to an early stait in the very first inning, when Spur lin and Rex were scored by Larsen and Bloodworth o nsingles. Getting another ri'n in the third stanza when Cummings was scored by Rex. From then on it was just the case of too GRAND OF DEER..

Big Charlie Hilcher was the one spark plug in the offense of the In dians which failed to get going. Now going under the monicker of “Lula Belle,” the elongated first baseman packed a punch like the comic strip notable when he nailed the onion for a total of three out of four to almost make a perfect night of the set-to. Hi-*es Downer, Williams and Horgan were the only other Indians to get to first and once there were unable to be placed in a dangerous scoring position. > The box score.

RUSSELL (RED) EVANS— CHICAGO WHITE SOX The Chicago White Sox two years i so pulled a pitching star out of the Texas leagre. His name was Ken nedy. Last year they yanked up John Whitehead, also a star. And now a third Lone Star State league moundsman, Russell E. (Red) Evans, is trying to emulate the deeds of the other two. Red is fresh from Oklahoma City, where he won 24 games while losing eight last year. He has been shoved into several games with the Sox and is pitching a fair brand of ball. He ; hasn’t started with the sensationa- j lism of Whitehead who ran up quite a victory streak last season, but he ! will come through. Heme Town Sar.dlotter Red is a home-grown Chicagoan, ! being born in the Windy City in 1908. j He began playing amateur ball early ; ’nd was a teammate of Bruce Camp- 1 bell, slugging outfielder of the Cleve land Indians. Evans turned professional in 1931, joining Koekuk. Later he went to' Cecar Rapids. Then it was Spring- j field, 111., and finally Dubuque. In 1933 he was a free agent. He was with Oklahoma City in ’34 and ’35. Standing 5 feet 11 inches and weighing 160 pounds, Red is right- ! handed, with plenty of curves and j that much-needed control.

ODDS~ARE AGAINST LEARNING TO FLY AVIATOR STATES 25 TO 1 RATIO GOVERNS FLY ING CHANCES NEW YORK, July 3 (TP)—A vet eran pilot and flying instructor pre sented evidence today to prove that the odds are 25 to 1 that the average American cannot learn to fly well enough to avoid disaster. The flier is Kenneth Brown Col lings, who set down his observations for the American mercury. Collings’ article was aimed at debunking pre dictions that within a few years all America will be zooming around the air in “flivver planes.” He say a there is an enormous dif ference between driving an automo bile and flying a plane. Flying de mands an instinct for synchronized control—a thing which aviators call j "flying adaptability.” In a car a man has traction on hard ground or pave ment. Aloft he has nothing but thin air—and the air is variable. If a flier is banking a turn and he turns too steeply he side-slips and falls. It not steeply enough the plane skids into a stall and goes down. And landing a plane requires far more skill than almost any other operation. Collins charges that the bureau o f air com merce is too lax, that it eliminates \ almost nobody at all ant. graduates i three out of four applicants for li- j censes. “The average American.” Ceilings ! concludes, “cannot become an air- j plane pilot and he should not be al lowed to try it.” Thoughtful “He is very thoughtful of his wife.” “Yes. Last winter he bought coke instead of coal so it wouldn’t be so heavy for her to shovel into the fur nace.” “WHAT’S SKEETER DOING TODAY?” Every day that>s the first question asked in many Savan nah homes when the Savannah Daily Times makes its daily ap pearance. And not only the children but Dad and Mother, too. want to liiiow—for readers of all ages are to be found among the many who have taken little Skeeter, new hero of the “Muggs and Skeeter” comic strip, to heart as their hero. Look for “Muggs and Skeeter” evrey day in the Savannah Daily Times and you are certain to become a faithful follower. PAGE FIVE AMERICAN LEAGUE Results Yesterday Cleveland 14-}, St. Louis 6-2.

Baseball Results Sally League The Savannah Indians struck a stumbling block last night in the Sal ly league when the Columbia Sena tors nailed them to the tune of 11-0. Paced by the six-hit performance of Terhune their star righthander, the Senators had the Tribe behind the proverbial eight-ball the entire eve ning. The Columbus Red Birds moved into a two-way tie for first place when they conquered the high and mighty Jacksonville Tars, 6-4. Two men, Gruzdis and Orengo of the Birds both slapped homers Into the bleachers to feature the heavy stick work of the Birds. The last game of the circuit found the lowly Augusta Tigers defeating the Macon Peaches, 6-3. Continuing their drive towards the leadership of the second half, the Tigers played heads-up ball the entire route to knock the Macon Peaches off their perch. v Yesterday’s scores: AMEIRCAN LEAGUE 1 R.
