Lamoae s Egotism Wrecks Pennant Hopes
INEFFICIENT LEADERSHIP CAUSE INDIANS
TO CONTINUE DOWNWARD PLUNGE;
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT LAST?
The Savannah Indians continuing
to play under the inefficient leader
ship of Bobby LaMotte, dropped an
other game to the Augusta Tigers yes
terday 9-2. Displaying the same type
of baseball which has so character
ised the club's actions on the dia
mond since the assuming of the man
agership post by LaMotte, Savannah's
hopes for winding up on top of the
baseball heap has gone for naught in
the last half or the schedule. From
the calibre of the players which con
stitute the Indian roster, it appears
that the only answer which can be
obtained responsible for the poor
showing of the locals is the need of
a new manager which can assume the
full responsibility of guiding the In
dians to their rightful place under the
baseball sun. LaMotte has never been
and never will be -the right man tv
hold the reins of the Tribe. One thing
is certain and that is Savannah is
going to continue in the doldrums un
til the local ball association will bring
in a suitable manager to take the
post so inefficiently filled by the so
called mastermind of Savannah's or
ganized baseball, Bobby LaMotte. The
game yesterday showed that the In
dian ball players are trying hard to
place the city on top, but lack the
proper leadership to attain the task.
The city’s baseball fans will be on
hand tonight to watch the homecom
ing efforts of the Indians as they
» seek to step out of the last place
r tie, as they play the highly touted
Macon Peaches in a four-game series.
Nipped by Tigers 9-2
The Savannah Indians got in the
way of the Augusta Tigers yesterday
and were promptly nicked by the score
of 9-2. The game was comparatively
close until the last half of the seventh
when the Tigers went on a rampage
and scored five runs to make the
trout complete. The Indians held a
small lead until the beginning of the
fourth, when the bats of the North
““ Georgia team got to working and
mowed down the two run advantage
of the hapless Tribe.
Scoring in the first inning when
Eddie Moore smashed a triple and
then came in on a passed ball. An- |
other tally was added to the column
of the Tribe in the third stanza as
k Hines who had gotten on first by
A being hit, came all the way in on an
attempted triple of Nick Etten, hard
Outplaying first sacker. From then on,
game was all Augusta. Being
a!B|Efalled in the seventh stanza because
> ’M'f a 6 o’clock ruling, the Indians had
or no chance to snap out of the
to take the lead.

NEW YORK, July 13 (TP).—Na
tional league second division clubs
are pretty chesty today. The under
dogs are elated over their worm-turn
ing stunts tnat featured yesterday’s J
games.
Brooklyn took two games of a twin
bill from the first place St. Louis
Cardinals. The scores were 6 to 3
and 11 to 4. The Boston Bees ral
lied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Giants split a double-header with the
fast traveling Chicago Cubs. New

Reds. Philadelphia won the first, 4
to 0, and dropped the second, 1 4 to 3.

LUIS FIRPO KNOCKED OUT
BY YOUNG CHILEAN
HEAVY
BUENOS Aires, July 13 (TP)—The
one-time “Wild Bull of the Pampas”
is a tame and battered “has-been” to
day. Luis Ange Firpo who gave Jack ,
Demphey a busy few minutes a few I
years ago is expected to abandon his i
comeback attempt following a defeat
at the hands of Arturo Godoy.
Goday, a young Chilean heavy
weight, gave Firpo a merciless three
round drubbing and won when the bell
for the fourth round found Firpo un
able to continue. Firpo was down
at the close of the third round and
had to be dragged to his corner. The
Argentine heavyweight started hs!
comeback with three or four victories !
over obscure opponents.

their former leadership in the Sally !
League standings yesterday as they !
defeated the high and mighty Jack
sonville Tars 8-5. An early lead of
the Tars netted exactly nothing as
the Birds got their batting eye on
the ball in the fifth stanza to sweep
into a lead which was never threaten
ed. The Macon Peaches conquered the
: Columbia Senators in a tight battle
which was featured by the pitching
efforts of Honeycutt and Weafer. The
game was called in the fifth inning
because of rain. The last set-to found
the Savannah Indians losing to the
Augusta Tigers 9-2. Nothing exciting
happened in the game with the ex
ception of the Tigers fattening their
batting averages at the expense of
the Indian moundsmen.

ITALO CHELINI—CHI
CAGO WHITE SOX
They talk about those Italian boys
from San Francisco on the Yaneke
team. Os how they are setting the
American league on fire. Well, the
Chicago White Sox also have a young
man of Italian descent—and from
Frisco, too—and though he isn't set
ting the American league on fire with
his pitching, is building up a respec
table record against the day when the
umpires call it quits and go hunt
ing.
The Pale Hose pitcher is Italo Vin
cent Chelini. a not-so-tall left-hander
who has been sitting on the Sox
bench for some time with occasional
relief duty. Jimmy Dykes finally
started him against th? hard-hitting
Indians, and Italo proceeded to stand
the Tribesmen on their collective and
individual heads. That; may win Italo
a starting Job on the Sox slab corps.
Three No-Hitters
Italo was born in San Francisco,
in 1914, so you can see he’s just a
youngster. He pitched independent
ball for some time and sent the fans
into fan dances with his results. The
first two games he pitched were no
hitters. In 1932 the Frisco Italian
jo ned Albuquerque and included In
his pitching feats there was another
no-hit contest.
When that league disbanded, Italo
joined the San Francisco Missions.
The next year he served time with,
three clubs: Beckley, Bartlesv.lle and
Topeka. He went with the Top k’
franchise to Ksokuk in '35.
Wtih the western league club Italo
hurled 15 victories against 11 defeats.

OLYMPIC EVENTS
TO HAVE STARS
UNITED STATES IS READY
FOR BERLIN COM
PETITION
RANDALLS ISLAND STADIUM
N. Y„ July 13 (TP.)—The United
States will send a capable bunch of
track and field stars to Berlin this
week to compete against the world in
Olympic games. Champions from
coast to coast who met in yesterday’s
Olympic finals proved that Uncle
Sam will be no pushover i n the track
and field department.
Perhaps the most startling per
formances turned in at the Randall’s
Lland stadium meet were provided
by two negro high jumpers, Cornelius
Johnson and Dave Albritton. These
human kangaroos cleared a bar set at
6 feet and 9 3-4 inches above the
earth to tie for first place in the
event. This bettered the Olympic
mark by nearly four inches and set
a new world’s record.
Another negro star, Jesse Owens,'
has a new world’s mark to his cred
it today. He flashed over the 200-
meter distance
one-fifth of a second better than the
previous mark.
TALES IN
TIDBITS
The United States figures to win
the Olympic games. Athletes from
these shores have won all the mod
ern Olympic games that have been
held. But the victor probably will be
Switzerland. Ask the fellows who
picked Joe Louis, Brevity and South
ern Methodist.
This can be remembered as the
year of the experts' collapse. Sart
ing with the Rose Bowl and a victory
by Stanford (even some of the Pacif
ic coast scribes picked the Texans),
the supposedly smart people have
been knocked over time after time by
the scoreboard.
Discovery was supposed to romp
in the SIOO,OOO Santa Anita handi
cap. But they paid off on a horse
that spelled his name Top Row.
There was some confusion at the
track, you’ll remembar. Jockey
Wayne Wright emulating the tactics
of Willie Heston going 10 yards
through the line. Everybody was very
sorry for Discovery (especially those
who had him in the mutuels). and
the stewards expressed themselves as
dripping with regrets. But that was
how it was. Ha, Ha!
The same thing happened in Louis
ville. A superhorse named Brevity
was the hot favorite. It was a breeze.
How could you miss? But there was
a scuffle at the barrier, the noble
alimals werescrambled. and when
they reached home plate with the
winning run there was some strange
beast named Bold Venture right in
front. Again the stewards wept.
Those Tigers were picked by all (
the boys -in the know” to walk away i
with the American league pennant. I
Cleveland was going to be right up
there all the way. To our 'horror
what do we discover at midseason? |
The Yankees are on top by nearly a .
oozen games, and coasting. Doesn’t'
Jo? McCarthy read the papers?

The star pitcher of the St. Louis

four years ago, and now is coming
swiftly along the comeback trail. Kress
is playing short for the Senators sur

Native of Columbia. Cal., and 29
years old. the redhead is showing the
kind of hitting and fielding expected
of him after his start with the Browns
in 1927. Kress went to St. Louis af
ter only one year in the minors, at
Tulsa, where he hit .329 and fielded
brilliantly.
Kress went well for the Browns
until 1932, when he fell into a bat
