Hfek \\ FLINT RHEM (By Central Press) A 20-game winner 10 years ago with the St. Louis Cardinals, Charles Flint (Shad) Rehm has bobbed back * into the major league picture, and is doing excellent relief work for his old team, the Cards. Rhem comes from an old South Carolina family, his birthplace being the town of Rhems, named for his an cestors. Flint is 33 years ol.d. After being graduated by Clemson with an electric engineer's degree, he I was tried out by the Cardinals. After ' a year at Fort Smith he became a regular on the St. Louis staff, and in 1926. when McGraw named him on his all star team, Flint won 20 games. His escapades have furnished inter- Wm esting copy for baseball writers. One HH of his excuses for periodic absences HI was that he was “taking care of Gro- W ver Alexander," whose penchant for f pleasure was well known. On the eve of the 1928 wor>’, series Rhem disap peared. After being gone two days he t turned up with a story that he had been kidnaped. Branch Rickey used to •ay Rhem might be the greatest pitch xH cr in the league if he would train more faithfully. Rhem started the season of 1936 f with Nashville, but his fine pitching (L earned a comeback chance.

The renewal of hostilities finds the New York Yankees leading the Amer ican League and the St. Louis Card inals ahead in the National League race. The Yankees meet the Cleveland Indians at New York, while the St. Louis Browns visit the Athletics at Philadelphia. The Detroit Tigers meet the Senators at Washington and the Chicago White Sox go to Boston to try their luck against the Boston Red Sox. In the National League the Card inals play host to the New York Giants; the Boston Bees go to Cin cinnati for a game with the Reds; The Phillies meet the Pirates in Pitts burgh and the Brooklyn Dodgers play a double-header with the Chicago | Cubs in the Windy City. Sally League The race in the Sally league is ap pearing to be a reputation of the first half. Columbus has started pulling away, with Jacksonville hard on their heels. The identical picture was pre sented at the start of the first half, with the Tars coming through to take the honors in the first session. The Columbus Red Birds, by their con vincing defeat of the hapless Savan nah Indians last night, moved fur ther into confines when they dropped • the Tribe, 8-5. A boring game, which proved to be just another merry-go round for the Birds, the Indians got an early lead which was wiped out soon in the set-to, further augmented by the heavy hitting artillery of the Birds. The Jacksonville Tars appeared to b? regaining some of their first half form as they dished out a 4-1 defeat to the Macon Peaches. Leading from the first inning, the Tars had no trouble in taking the game from the farm of the Cincinnati Reds. The last game was a slugfest in the cir cuit as Columbia toon the measure to Augusta, 11-10. A total of 30 safe ties was racked up in the game, as Columbia came through in the last stanza to cop the set-to.

SPORTS FULL COVERAGE LOCAL SPORTS CENTRAL PRESS SAVANNAH IS HOST YACHTING VISITORS IN RIVER CLASSIC NEW CHARLESTON SAIL ING BOAT HAS EXPERTS GUESSING Savannah’s yachting season will formally open today as tha select field of local and out-of-town craft meet today on the Wilmington river in a series of races which will take place this afternoon, tomorrow and Satur day. The judge's stand will be at the dock of Henry C. Walthour with the events scheduled to start at 4 o'clock. The course has been laid out for three and one-half miles, rounding a buoy off Priest's landing, and a marker off Cabbage Island. The vari ous sailing critics state that this course will try the racing mettle of,any craft entered in the events, with all types of water to be encountered. Savannah’s hopes will be well rep resented by a fleet headed by the fast sailing Mischief owned by Raymond Demere. Well versed in the art of sailing a craft, Mr. Demere, will be at the tiller today -n what he hopes to be a repetition of former triumps enjoyed as skipper of his fast stepping boat. Also in the same class will the first race of the Geechee, the new boat of Beckmann Huger. Untried as yet, pre-race speculation has it. that Mr. Huger will prove a masterfieid dark horse in the three day events. The Sandpiper which bested the Mis chief in Charleston last year is also entered, and the Class A race should prove the most thrilling event of the regatta. All eyes are turned on the new speed creation of E. H. Jahnz from Charleston who has acquired a fac tory made boat from the same firm which constructed Mr. Demere's craft. In the lake scow class with a 28-foot over the eight foot beam which has been proven to be of such use in the inland waters has lived up to the expectations of racing own ers. Mr. Jahnz will boast a boat which carries more than twice as much can vas as the Mischief and rumors have it thatthe Charleston boatis out to lick the Mischief on her own home course. Other races in the Class B class which consists of boats in the 24 to 26-foot swallow class and the Lark class which i sfor boats und’r 18 feet alo are entered in the three days’ race program.

Listen to Joe: “We started off all right. Grove was unbeatable. The club was hit ting.

RED BIRDS AT STADIUM TONIGHT GEHRIG’S HOMER OF NO AVAIL AS NATIONALS WIN —Central Press Soundphoto. Lou Gehrig’s spectacular home run in the seventh inning provided plenty of excitement in the All-Star game at Boston, but failed to keep the Nationals from winning their first game in four years from the Americans. This Central Press Soundphoto shows Gehrig lining one out to the bleachers as Catcher Gabby Hartnett and the umpire look on. The homer started a three run rally for the Americans but the score ended 4-3 in favor of the Nationals. now he's out. Dusty “Loosens Up” “One of our young pitchers, Jim Henry, was pitching fine ball and he came down with a bad sore throat. We’re sitting in the dressing room one day and Dusty Cooke begins to pull up his knees to loosen up.’ He ‘loosened up’ a few’ ligaments and had to sit on the bench at a time ! when he was playing the greatest j ball of his career. “On this road trip west the only j thing that hasn’t happened is a rail road wreck. Johnny Marcum loses a 1 to 0 ball game in Chicago on a freak bunt. We drop two ball games by one run each, and one of the games is won by a handle hit, the other by a looping pop back of first base that the hitter breaks his bat on.” “No, we're fighting. This club has got plenty of that all right. We ll still be heard from. Wait until that series begins Tuesday (June 30) in New York. You'll see that we still have something to say about the pennant. “Discouraged? Not a bit. Take Wes Ferrell, for instance. He’s work : ing out of turn on the road because j we can’t keep him out of there. Talk ! about your old-time pitchers working | every third day—Ferrell wants to pitch all the time. If he gets beat, he storms, and wants to walk right back to the box next day and show ’em. The rest of the boys are pull ing right with him. We haven't got any ‘lose with a smile' boys on this team.” Were the Yankees playing a trifle over their heads? “No, the Yankees aren’t playing over their heads. That's the team we've got to beat, and Joe Di Mag gio has made ’em just that much tougher. Say, have you seen him? What a ball player!” Very true! A fine ball player. And from a fine part of the country, too! That sends Joe off the subject of baseball entirely. He's a Californian. And have you seen Phil Bru baker fight? That was a tough one he dropped to Sharkey, wasn’t it. Ex perience beats youth again! But say. suppose Max Baer (another native son) beats Brubaker of Sharkey. Can Baer get back up to the top by Sep tember?” Does Joe want somebody from Cali fornia to win the title that Jim Corbett (natve son, too) so proudly held? I am afraid Joe does!

INDIANS CONTINUE TO LOSE AS BIRDS HAMMER OUT 8-5 DECISION; DOWNER CLOUTS TWO HOMERS LOCALS EARLY FOUR-FJJN LEAD PROVES UNAVAILING AS BATTING ATTACK OF COLUMBUS GOT UNDER WAY RESULTING IN LAST INNING MERRY-GO-ROUND. Still seeking some answer to their losing streak the Savannah Indians will trot out onto the field tonight against the Columbus Red Birds, hop ing to erase some of the hopeless de spair over their inability to get back into the running of the select circle in the Sally league. The last seven games has found the Tribe on the short end of the score, and this coupled with the fact that relief appears to be far in the offing is serving as a checkmate to the leadership aspirations of Bobby Lamotte, bossman of the Indians. Tied with Columbia for the cellar position, the Indians will have to play baseball from now on to keep out of the undesired position at the bottom of the heap. It is hoped that La motte can find an answer to the riddle which has the baseball fans guessing. Lose Close Again Continuing their uninterrupted march to the Sally league cellar, the Savannah Indians last night dropped COACH VARNEDOE GIVES JACKETS 1936-37 SCHEDULE REPORTED ONE OF “HARD-! EST” EVER: STINGA REES ON LIST Coach John Varnedoe of the Sa vannah High Blue Jackets last night announced that team’s schedule for the coming year. To be pitted against some of the fastest and well coached teams in the South, the Jackets will face one of the hardest schedules ever to befall the lot of any Savannah High team. The high point of the schedule appears to be the Stingarees of Miami High, which has so trounced the title aspirations of the Jackets for the last three ssa , sons. The Miami team is making , its first trip to the city, and the com ’ ing of the highly touted Florida team ' is being anxiously awaited. Also to be noted on the grinding schedule is the coming of Tech High from Atlanta for the first game of the season. The Smithies have al ! ways trotted a hard fighting team j onto any field, and long an arch rival of the local gridsters, the club from ' the capitol city of Georgia can ex ‘ pect to meet fighting opposition from • the Jackets. Also from Atlanta will come the champion Boy’s High team 1 which every year appears to ruin the chances of the locals in their t drive for the G. I. A. A. honors. The Purple Hurricane can be counted on • the furnish the major opposition for : the Savanahians with their trick as • sortment of flat pases and off-tackle . thrusts. ; . One -of the innovations for the ) I coming season will be that all of the -1 games with the exception of the I Thanksgiving Classic against Bene . I dictine will be played at night at ,I the stadium. It appears that Savan , I nah has gone arc mad to witness games as played under the Kleig lights, and the attendance records stand to be shattered. Practice for the local gridsters is slated to start September 1. in order that everything will be shipshape for the first game against the Smithies. DETECTIVES CLEARED OF ASSAULT CHARGES NEW YORK.

PAGE a 8-5 decision to the league leading Columbus Red Birds. A wild ninth inning proved to be Waterloo of the Tribe as they saw their tight tie break up and go floating away under the determined assaults by the bats men of the fast flying Birds. Bob Harris started the game for the Indians but soon was relieved in the fourth frame by Richard Kasky who pitched beautiful ball until the fatal ninth, -when he was shunted to the dag out in favor of Emil Roy. This trio of pitchers failed to save the day for the Tribe and the end of the ninth found the Redskins on the short end of the score. The Indians got started in the scoring department early in the set to when through the use of a brace of homers by Downer and Elliott scored Hines and Etten ahead of them to bring the game to a point where it appeared that Savannah would win a game, but the momen tary pride was shortlived when the Red Bird bats started working over time. The third stanza found the Birds getting their eye on the ball as they scored one tally as a result of Gruzdis scoring Oehler. The fourth inning proved to be the turning point j of the game as the Birds evened the | score with the coasting Indians, j Slaughter and Orengo both got on ! the paths as results of scoring sin ! gles through the infield. Bremer, j then caught one to his liking and slammed it into the bleachers scoring both men. Birds Score Again Making runs appear to be a habit with the Birds as they got another tally in the seventh as Tutaj scored Gruzdis on a grounder which went through little Eddie Moore's legs. Downer of the Tribe made the score even when he parked one in the left field stands for a homer. The stands breathed a sign of relief as they set tled down to what appeared would be an overtime game, but the Birds came out with vengeance in their eye in the ninth and through a bar rage of hits coupled with wildness on the part of Kasky and Roy, scored three runs to make the game gc down in the losing column. Downer, star second sacker for the Tribe nailed the apple for two ho mers, Elliott getting the other cir cuit clout credited to the Indians. Gruzdis of the Birds almost had a perfect day at bat when he got four out of five to lead the day's safeties. The box score: COLUMBUS AB R H PO A Oehler, cf 3 2 0 5 0 M.
