Eyston, averaged 162 miles per, for 10 miles, on Utah salt beds 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.

Sally League The Columbus Red Birds regained “BULL OF PAMPAS” IS TAMED BATTLER 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.

Other well known swimmers who will make the European trip are Ralph Flanagan, Adolph Kiefer, Jack M-dica, Peter Fick and John Ma cionis. BEHOLD THE BUSHERS! By WALTER JOHNS (Central Press.) 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. TRIALS COMPLETED FOR GIRL’S TEAM OLYMPIC TEAM BOASTS BEVY OF FAST SWIMMERS ASTCRIA. L. 1..

The final Olympic tryouts com pleted at the municipal pool at As toria, L. 1., last night made places for but few newcomers on the Ameri can squad. For the most part girls whose names are bywords in the American swimming world will wear the United States shields on their suits at Berlin next month. There’s Eleanor Holm Jarrett, still supreme in the back stroke, and Mrs. Dorothy Poynton Hill who clinched a place by winning the high platform dive. Little Katherine Rawls will be on hand and available for no less than three events, she won both the springboard diving and the 100 meter free style events Saturday. Yesterday she made a surprising showing and placed third in the 400 meter event. This was won by Mrs. Lenore Kight Wingard, another headline name as far as swimmir.g is concerned.

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?
