808 LAMOTTE AND HIS TRIBE JOURNEY
MACON WHERE INDIANS AND PEACHES
CLASH IN SALLY LEAGUE GAME TODAY
LOCALS LOST ANOTHER BALL GAME YESTERDAY AFT
ER LEADING UNTIL NINTH INNING—LEVY GETS
CARELESS AND BIRDS WIN, 6 TO 5.
Seeking to regain some of their
lost ground in the Sally league race,
the Savannah Indians will trek to
the home field of the Macon Peaches
today. Having lost every game since
they left Savannah, the Tribe seems
to be back in the slump which cost
them their leadership chances In the
first half. Tied now for third place,
the Tribe are faced with the knowl
edge that they will have to start play
ing heads-up ball if they want to
finish among the leaders in the final
homestretch of the league.
Nipped By Birds
The Savahnan Indians lost another
ball game yesterday. After leading un
til the ninth inning, the Tribe lost
their margin of victory in a last min
ute rush by the batting onslaughts
of the Columbus Red Birds, and the
final score found the Indians trailing
a 6-5 scor?. Genial Juke Levy pitched
excellent ball until the ninth inning
when, with the winning and tielng
runs on base, was relieved by Emil
Roy, who was just wild enough to al
low three runs to cross the platter
which cost the Tribe the fourth
straight at the hands of the Birds.
BALLOON TROPHY
WON BY TROTTER
AFTER LONG RACE
VETERAN ADDS ANOTHER
LAUREL TO FORMER
TRIUMPHS
DENVER, Colo., July 6 (TP)—Pilot
Frank Trotter stowed the national
balloon race trophy in his baggage to
day and shoved off for his home in
Akron, Trotter won the race by ma
neuvering his Goodyear bag into
South Dakota through air currents
which were unusuall” erratic. His to
tal distance in the race was 385
miles.
Trotter is a veteran of balloon rac
ing. He took advantage of a litle
known rule of the game in attaining
his total distance. This rule permits
any entry to make cae temporary
landing of 15 minutes. The Goodyear
balloon was landed at Sterling, Colo.,
then soared again to drift into South
Dakota and mak' its final landing
Sunday at Presho.
Four other balloons came down
within Colorado's borders after being
buffeted arounc on irregular courses
for almost 30 hours. The bags took
off at Denver early Saturday. The
other entries finished as follows: Sec
ond place, the Great Lakes exposition
bag; third, the navy entry pilot by
Lieut. Commander Gilmer; fourth,
the navy balloon piloted by Lieut.
Tyler. The army craft landed and
burned miles from the point of
the takeoff.
r The boys from Chatham county got
, an early start when they nailed the
> offerings of Joe Sims for the* lone
5 tally. Getting three more in the sec-
> ond stanza, as Moore, Horgan and
. Levy got on the bases, loading them
to capacity. Horgan then was walked
t i home when Hines was Issued a free
> pass. Williams then hit a hard
I grounder which was booted by Ornego
’ and Levy scored. Sims then walked
Etten which allowed Moore to come
> 1 in Getting another tally in the
■ ' eighth, the Indians had to be content
with their scoring for the day.
Levy Gete Careless
. ■ Business began to pick up in the
1 seventh inning when Levy, the Savan
nah hurler got a bit careless and al
lowed three men to score. The ninth
, Stanza provided the fireworks with
' the Birds on the fuse end. Krl't
scored with the tielng run. Gruzd s
smacked one to Centerfield which
scored Oheler. and the game was
over.
Horgan and Downer led the ranks
of the Indian batsmen as they both
. got two out of four for a .500 aver
age. The Tribe experienced no diffi
culty in h tting the offerings of the
four Bird pitchers, but unearned runs
appeared to have the Indian sign” on
the Tribe.

American and National league
baseball stars took a day off from
work today to rest up for tomorrow's
all-star game to be held at the Bee's
park in Boston. Not a major league
game is scheduled for today.
Odds favor the American league
all-star team to make it four straight
tomorrow when it meets the National
leaguers in Beantown. However,
plenty of smart baseball experts think
National league pitching by such
moundsmen as the Deans, Carl Hub
bell, Van Ligle Mungo et al. will top
the batting power supplied by Lou
Gehrig, Joe Mimaggios, Paul Geh
ringer, Jimmy Foxx and the other
A. L. sluggers.
American league bats were crack
ing yesterday when the Boston Red
Sox took both ends of a double-head
er from the Philadelphia Athletics,
16 t o 2 and 8 to 2. In other Amer
ican league games, the Washington
Senators topped the New York Yan
kees, 9 to 3: the Cleveland Indians
split a double-header with the Chi
cago White Sox. wi.-errg the first 11
to 4, and dropping the second, 4 to 2.
The Detroit Tigers beat the St. Louis
Browns, 18 to 9.
In the National league, the St.
Louis Cardinals recaptured the
league lead by a double victory over
the Cincinati Reds, 8 to 6 and 17 to
7. The Brooklyn Dodgers downed
the New York Giants, 3 to 1; ths
Phillies beat the Boston Bees, 7 to
6, and the Pittsburgh Pirates outhit
the Chicago Cubs, 4 to 2.
Sally League
Columbus appears to be firmly en
trenched in first place, as it got to
the offerings of the highly touted
Jake Levy of the Savannah Indians,
and won the game in the last in
ning. 6-5. Having lost but one game
for the entire second half, the Red
Birds are sailing along at the head
of the pack. The Columbia Sena
tors jumped onto the Augusta Tigers
with a vengeance and finally eeked
out a victory to cop a thriling game.
The last game of the circuit found
the Macon Peaches winning a slug
fest from the Jacksonvile Tars 11-7.
Finally breaking into their stride,
the Peaches blasted the “world
beaters’’ to the far corners of the
lot.

REESE, ATKINSON, BOWYER DOMINATE
RECORD EVENTS WITH FLAWLESS FORM
LOCALS DISH OUT THE FIRST DEFEAT TO BRUNSWICK
TEAM IN THREE SEASONS—BREAST-STROKE EVENT
PROVES TO BE TURNING POINT OF DAY AS “GEE
CHES” TAKE FIRST AND SECOND PLACES.
Jumping into an early start in the
meet against the Sea Island swim
ming team, the Savannah aquatic
stars yesterday vanquished the Island
ers 37-33, in an event which packed
the fast Casino Pool at the renowned
summer resort. Capturing but two
first places the locals made their
second and third places count to an
advantage to take the spotlight in the
Southeastern swimming circles.
Tomy Powell, of the Islanders seem
ed to ba the only thorn for the Sa
vanahians. The highly touted free
style and diving star took three events
which netted him a high total of fif
teen points for the meet. Defeating
Ellis of Savannah in the 50 free style
and Durkin of the local club in the
100 free style, the lanky water artist
came back to win the diving event
against the duo of Savanahlans, At
kinson and Reese. After leading in
all the required dives, Atkinson saw
his slim margin of victory wiped away
when the optional diving came to the
fore. Using a two and one half somer
sault. cutaway, one and one-half
somersault with a full twist, and a
back one and one half somersault to
gain the momentum to take him into
first in the high board event,
Powell, completely dominated the day
for the Islanders.
Bowyer Breaks Record
Buddy Reese and Bums Atkinson,
in the 100 yard breast stroke, proved
to be the turning point of the meet.
Scoring a firjt and second the Sa
vannah team jumped into an 8 point
lead which provided them with a suf
ficient margin to alleviate for the
defeats in the remaining events. Reese
took the event in fast time with At
kinson hard on his heels. Luke Bow
yer broke the pool record in copping
the 220 free style. After letting the
field take the pace the entire distance,
the diminutive swimmer pushed into
the winning position at the turning
point of the last lap, to cep a thrill
ing event which had the crowd push
ing up to the edges of the pool. Swim
ming again in the 100 free style,
Bowyer took a third place to push
LACK OF FUNDS
CAUSES CUTTING
OLYMPIC SQUAD
TREASURY $150,000 SHORT
IN NEEDED EXPENSES
NEW YORK, July 6 (TP)—Mem
bers of the American Olympics com
mittee are wearing long faces today.
Here it is, almost time for the Amer
ican teams to sa.l for Germany, they
explain, and the Olympics treasury
is still $150,000 short of its needs.
Faced with the necessity of cutting
down the size of the American Olym
pics teams to meet its slender budset,
the committee turned first to the
women's track and field squad. In
stead of the full 17-girl team, only
four women track and field stars will
be sent to the Olympics—unless some
money comes in from somewhere. The
four chosen to make up the skeleton
team weie Helen Stephens of Fulton,
Missouri: Tidye Pickett and. Annette :
Kogers of Chicago, and Mrs. Anna :
O’Brien of Los Angeles.
The cut in the Olympic team per
sonnel was the first which the Amer
ican commitee ever has found nece:- 1
sary because of ack of funds. The ,
president of the American Olympics I
committee, Avery Brundage, warned '
the nation's sportsmen that similar ;
cuts may be necessary in other squads '
unless public spirited organizations !
and individuals come forward with 1
some cash.
“I can’t believe the sports-loving
American public will desert their
teanr,’’ Brundage sa : d. “But if we are
to be given the public’s support, it
must come soon. The time is get*ng
short.”
KEN McQULLOUGH MEETS
DEATH ON RACE TRACK
HAIFIELD Pa., July 6 (TP)—A '
shattered fence rail at the Montgom
ery County fairgrounds race track ;
marks the spot where a California ■
racing driver Ken McCullough, met
his death.
McCullough was killed when his
car skidded during time trials at the
Independence Day races. The ma- j
chine ripped through the fence, then ■
righted itself and roared for nearly I
half a mile around the track, with
the Californian slumped over the
wheel. When the car was stopped.
McCullough was dragged from behind
the wheel—dead.
1 his total day’s column to six points.
Used Every Break
Using a makeshift team, the Sa
; vannah stars used every break to ad
-1 vantage in winning this all-important
. meet. Defeated for the first time in
three/years, the Sea Island Club Is

TALES IN
TIDBITS
BRADDOCK-SCHMELING
HEARTS OF IRON
NO UNDERDOG?
By BILL BRAUCHER
Central Press Sports Editor
WILL SCHMELING beat Braddock?
And become the first heavyweight
champion in history to regain the
title? '
After the drubbing Max gave the
Dark Dud, who came into the ring
with some reputation as a boxer, it
might be said off hand, that Der
Schlager should have little trouble
with Braddock who never has been
noted for cuteness with his mitts.
But if you’ll think it over, several
probable elements in the coming
brawl may make you change your
mind. When he bumps into Brad
dock Schmeling will be meeting a
man with the heart of an iron horse.
The September bout between these
‘ two men might be called “The Bat
tle of the Fighting Hearts.”
If They Get Mad!
.One German to the core, the other
as Irish as Paddy's pig, these two
share a common bond of fierce cour
age. Each has high pride in his own
prowess. It is pride backed by per
' sistcnce and fed by bitterness. Each
is frequently driven by anger. In his
fight with Louis, the fires of Schmel
ing's wrath were fanned by press re
ferences to him as “the condemned
man” and to Louis as “the execution
: er”.
It is hard to determine how much
I Max's splendid fight against Louis
’ w’as inspired by his own' pride, and
in what degree his onslaught was fed
by hatred for the popular illusion
; that Louis represented (ths “super
: man”), but the German could not
j hide the goading fury that rode him
i when the gong sent him out to face
: the Negro.
Braddock brings the same spiritual
companions into the ring with him
that serve Schmeling so well. The
champion has been knocked cold (and
, so has the ex-champ), but the form
' er cock walloper does not know what
; it means to quit.
Scr.meling took an idol apart and
showed the world what made it tick.
So did Braddock when he outgamed
| and outfiught the odds-on Max Baer
: last year. Each has been cast in the
1 role of underdog, destroyer of dragons.
What will happen when they meet?
Continued in a later issue!
Random Notes
Pie Traynor, listed as playing man
-1 agcr of the Pirates, and Frankie
Frish, playing manager of the Cards
have been doing a swell job of the
bench this year . . . with Bill Bru
baker getting along very nicely at
third for the Bucs and Stu Martin
romping around second for the Cards
• . . If Barney Rosse takes on Pedro
Montanez in July, he may be spared
the privilege of defending the welter
weight title in Australia next winter
I • • ■ because Pedro is nobody's bull-pen
: pitcher . . . when Joe McCarthy goes
I to Boston to manage the American
1 league All-Star team he probably will
, find half a dozen cf his own Yanks
on the club . . . Gehrig. Di Maggio.
Pearson, Crosetti, Ruffing, Dickey are
strong candidates.
