INDIANS RETURN HOME AFTER MOST
DISASTROUS ROAD TRIP BUT PERKED
! FOR WIN TONIGHT AND NEW START
“RED BIRDS WILL BE TRIBE’S GUESTS FOR TWO-DAY
STAY; SUNNY 808 HARRIS MAY HURL
FOR LOCALS TONIGHT.
Coming back to Savannah with a
record of no wins and six defeats on
their disastrous road trip, the In
dians will troop onto the field tonight
to play the Columbus Red Birds in
the first of a two-game series. With
Sunny Bob Harris likely to take the
mound, the Indians appear to have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose as they make their fight from the
fifth place position in the league.
Tropping from first position to the
fifth place on the road trip was one
of the incidents which appeared to
have left a mark on the Tribe. It
is hoped that they might regain some
of the form which so characterized
their play at the start of the second
half.
LaMotte to Play
It is possible that Manager La
Motte will play second sack tonight,
having always expressed a desire to
play on the keystone sack for the In
dians since the inauguration of the
league. LaMotte broke himself into
the picture yesterday at Macon, and
performed a good task, scoring the
only run credited to the Indians.
Tiny Parker, the National League
ump will be on hand tonight to take
1 the head umpin position behind the
I plate. Tiny was accorded permission
by Ford Frick of the National league
to work in the Sally circles until re
called back to active duty under the
big top. Always a welcome figure in
the Savannah stands, Parker wil be
a decided attraction to the bleacher
ites who admire clean umpiring.
Too Much Evans
Too much Art Evans hurling for
the Macon Peaches yesterday, was
the sole answer to the crushing de
feat handed the Indians by the middle
Georgia team as the game finally
wound up by the score of 9-1. Appear
ing to regain their losing stride, the
Indians couldn’t hit, and what feu’
times they got on base, they couldn't
go anywhere, with tee exception of
Manager Bobby LaMotte who came
in from third on a wild pitch. Having
been walked by Evans, the Tribe
bossman worked himself around to
third and then came in on the wild
throw.
The game appeared to be just a
baseball game. Getting only three hits
off Art Evans, the very best efforts of
the Indians was thorougly blanketed,

A Finnish young man with a
strong finish (ahem!) may be the
one who represents the United
States in the 10,000-meter run in
the Berlin games. He is Eino
Pentti, shown as he recently won
a race at that distance in the fast
time of 32 minutes 12.2 seconds
at Cambridge, Mass. His time was
two minutes slower than the
Olympic mark, but Eino was not
pressed. <>
the usual routine of the batsmen be
ing three up and three down. Emil
Roy, Tribe righthander allowed eight
hits, but that coupled with eight bases
on-balls, was more than enough for
the fleetfooted Peaches who utilized
every opportunity of coming through
when the emergency arose. Downer,
Etten and Zubik were the lucky In
dians who came through with a hit
apiece off Evans but in every In
stance were allowed to die on base.
Scoring in the first, seventh and
eighth Innings, the Peaches were
never in danger from a scoring threat
by the Tribe and coasted in under
full power.

NEW YORK, July 8 (TP)—There
were no scheduled games in either
the American or the National League
yesterday. The day was turned over
to the annual All-Star game played
at Boston in which the National Lea
gue Stars upset the dope when they
defeated the American players 4 to 3
Today also is a gameless day in both
major loops. ■
Sally League
The Columbus Red Birds continu
ed their drive towards the champion
ship of the second half in the Sally
League as they took the measure of
the Columbia Senators in a game
which turned out to be a royal slug
fest, the final count being 11-8. Slam
ming two runs, the Birds scored prac
tically in every inning to back up the
efforts of four hurlers who were suc
cessful in turning back the deter
mined onslaughts of the Senators.
Jacksonville jumped onto the Au
gusta Tigers with a vengeance in a
game played on the home field of the
Tars. Coming out on the long end
of a 10-3 score, the Tars appeared to
have regained sme of their form ex
hibited in the opening half of the
season. Braun, southpaw pitcher for
the Floridians, hurled excellent ball,
getting in trouble in the ninth in
ning when four straight singles
scored the only tallies of the Tigers.
The last game of the circuit found
the Savannah Indians continuing
their unbroken drive for the league
cellar. Coming out on the short end
of a 9-1 score, the Indians, as usual,
Flayed mediocre baseball to furnish
no opposition for the Peaches.

INDIANS VS. RED BIRDS AT STADIUM TONIGHT
SWIMMING STARS
START TRAINING
FOR ISLANDERS
SAVANNAHIANS TO USE
THEIR FULL STRENGTH
AGAINST INVASION
The Savannah swimming team
after their crushing defeat of the Sea
Island team last Sunday has already
started practicing for the return meet
to be staged in the Hotel De Soto
pool July 7. Working daily since their
return the local swimmers are de
termined to throw their full strength
against the highly touted aquatic
prowess of the Islanders.
* Making the Sea Island trip with a
crippled team due to the loss of Mil
ler, McKenna, Holst and Weeks, the
Savannah team will have these four
boys back in the picture for competi
tion when the Brunswick team ap
pears here. Holst, the Tech star, who
is the only hope of the Savannahians
for stopping the speedy Tom Powell
of Sea Island is training hard for
the privilege of being the first to
hang a defeat on the masterful div
ing and swimming star of the Glynn
Island team.
Butch Atkinson, the »’.uge Jlver triio
made such a good showing in the first
meet of the season started practising
the day after the meet, hoping to
emulate some of the difficult dives
as used by Powell. Leading in the
required dives, the Savannah diver
was overtaken and passed by Powell
when the optional group was started.
Diving under a new set of rules ap
peared to have the number of the
Savannahians, as the number of re
quired and optional dives are far
greater than in interscholastic com
petition. J. B Holst will also handle
the diving reins for the locals.
The shifting of Buddy Reese from
the diving events back to the event
which won him Southern recognition,
the 100-yard free style event has met
with the approval of leading swim
ming critics. The diminutive free
style artist will be on hand when the
announcer makes the call for the
event. To act as a teammate in this
event, the brown skinned Frank Dur
kin will aid Reese in the swimming
of this event. Lacking experience,
Durkin performed a notable job at
Sea Island when he finished a close
second to Powell.

TALES IN
TIDBITS
If the great race hors? Discovery
could talk he might express the wish
that people in general and track
handicappers in particular didn't re
gard him so highly. A good honest
horse trying to git along has a lot to
contend with these cayc.
The sturdy son of Display demon
strated in the Brooklyn handicap at
Aqueduct recently that he could carry
-136 pounds and win, toting from 10
to 45 pounds more than his rivals. As
a reward the b g fellow was askid to
shoulder 14 pounds in the Empire
City handicap. Modestly declining the
honor and the weight, Discovery went
traipsing off to Chicago for the Stars
and Stripes. He had to shoulder 138
pounds in the Chicago event, and
it anchored him.
An Anchor Next
It will be an interesting race track
study tliis summer to watch CTtc itind !
of poundage Alfred Gwynne Vander
bilt’s great five-year-old will be called
upon to lug. Ho is entered in the $lO -
000 Butler hand-cap at Empire City,
July 11. Next on his itinerary is the
Massachusetts handicap at Suffolk
Downs'. Then a jump back to Chicago
for the rich Arlington handicap. If
he wins his next two starts, it is safe
to guess the nephew of Man O’War
will have to carry Joe Louis or Jim
my Braddock in the Arlington event.
There is a limit to what horses can
bear, of course. Wc.ghts that Ros:ben
used to stagger around w.th are le
gendary. Roseben could handle 147
pounds and still show he;ls to the
field, but failed when they put 150
pounds on him. Man O War set five
teccrts in his great year (1920) but
j carried from 118 to 126 pounds wacn j
he did it. Few spetd records have
been set by horses ca.tying as much
as 130 pounds. Sir Barton carr.ed 133
pounds and set a record over the 13-6
miles 16 years ago, galloping around
in 1:55 3-5. Discovery two years ago
bettered that by 3-5 of a second, but
Ditcovery was carrying only 119
pounds when he set the mark.
Hard to Believe
The best weight-carrying perfor- i
mane? in the book is a d sputed race j
in which Whisk Broom 11, carrying i
139 pounds, was clocked at two min- ■
utes flat over the mile and a quarter
at Belmont 23 years ago. It appears j
an impossible performance, and it wag I
claimed after the race that the hors?
was clocked about 100 yards before
reaching the finish line.
Discovery comes from a weight
carrying line, and perhaps his race
at Chicago (h? finished ninth) can .
be discounted as an off day. A son
of Display, he is a grandson of the
mighty Fair Play, a sire you may re- :
! member as being the daddy of the
greatest of them ail, Man O’War. The
line goes back to imported Australian,
a great sire brought to this country
in 1858 by A. Keene Richards.
Fair Play s.red not only the great
Man O War and Display but Mad
winner of 32 races and $195,-
525 in h s six years of racing. When
Mad Hatter was eight years old he
shouldered 125 pounds and won the
Suburban handicap, running the mile
and a quarter in 2:03 3-5.

Control, a sharp curve and a screw
ball have made Carl Hubbell, south
paw of the New York Giants one of
the New York Giants, one of the best
pitchers in the majors.
During the last three years Hubbell
has won more thx* 20 games each
year, and k now on his way to a
fourth successful season. In 933 he
led the National league in effective
ness and games won with 23.
Cat’, is a native of Carthage, Mo.,
and parsed his thirty-third birthday
June 22. He started his career with
a semi-pro team, his first experience
in organized ball being with the Cush
ing team of the Oklahoma State
league. He went to Detro t in 1926 but
after being farmed out was released
outright in 1928. The Giants pur
chased him from Beaumont, Texas,
that same year for $40,000, and he
never has had a season in which he
has not won more than he Icis. Up
to this year he had won 144 games
while losing 88.
Hubbell is married and lives at

DEAN SOLE ‘DISSENTER’ OF GAME;
DI MAGGIO PROVES TO BE GOAT AS
ALL-STAR EVENT BECOMES HISTORY
BOSTON, July 8 (TP)—There was >
one dissenting voice raised today
among jubilant National League bail
players who pinned a 4 to 3 defeat
on American Leaguers in the all star
game. That voice came from none
ether than Jerome “The Man’’ Dean,
better known as “Dizzy.”
According to the St. Louis nurler
the National League victory was a
sure thing the day the teams were
picked.
“How could we lose?” asked the
Cardinal ace. "After three innings
of looking at my stuff, those weak
sisters of the American League didn't
know whether they were playing base
ball or marbles. Why me and brother
Paul could have taken the Brooklyn
Dodgers out on the field and shut
these American Leaguers out.”
Dizzy refused to get excited over
the game. As far as he was con
cerned it was a set-up. The manager
of the National League team, Charlie
Grimm and the league pu-sldent
Fcrd Frick, reacted differently, how
ever. Both were overjoyed at the
result.
As in every other sporting classic.
the all st ragame produced a “goat”.
Sensational Joe DiMaggia, the Italian
rookie who has thrilled Yankee fans
this season, had to accept that ignom
inous post.
Joe went hitless in five trips to the
plate and misjudged two flies from
National League bats at crucial points.
Brooklyns star twirler Van Lingle
Mungo, did not get into action. It
was said that he reported to the lock
er room with pre-game decorations
in the form of facial bruises.
Next year’s all star clash will be
played in Washington, according to
the vete of the committee. They re
