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, The president of Argentina must be Roman Catholic and Argentine by birth.

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.

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.

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.

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 Meeker, Okla., during the off season.

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.
