(Central Prets) BAVAJWAH DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 6, 1936 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.

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.

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.

McCullough was dragged from behind the wheel—dead. 1 his total day’s column to six points.

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. EARL’S | —SANDWICHES- Telephone 6989
