Fans Demand Change in Managership of Tribe
PUBLIC IS AFTER LaMOTTE’S SCALP
AS INDIANS CONTINUE CELLAR SKID;
PRESSURE BEING BROUGHT TO BEAR
The fans of the baseball world in Savannah have taken up
in full force the demand that Bobby LaMotte be removed as man
ager of the Savannah Indians. Continuing to display the same
type of baseball strategy which has marked the club’s playing
since LaMotte assumed the reins of managership for the •Tribe,
the Indians dropped another game last night to place them fur
ther down in fifth place among the other teams in the league.
Fully realizing that the entire cause for the downfall of the
local baseball club is resting on the shoulders of LaMotte with
his antiquated ideas about the modern game of baseball, it can
be expected %at public pressure will cause the removal of the
erstwhile baseball tactician in a short space of time. LaMotte
has proven to the satisfaction of the paying customers that he
can’t produce a winning combination, with the excellent Class B
type of ball players which complete the roster of the Indians.
For the first time in the present playing season, LaMotte
is being booed for his actions on the coaching lines. One-time
popular at the start of the season, his continued losing streak
as boss-man for the Tribe has brought the wrath of the Savannah
baseball fans down upon his shoulders. Losing confidence in the
promises of the manager who has repeatedly stated that he would
and could trot a winning combination out on the playing field,
the bleacherites have awakened to the fact that LaMotte is too
small for the job of guiding the Indians into the first division.
The acquiring of new players, and juggling of combinations has
only had the affect of increasing the number of games in the
losing column of the Tribe. For a time, it appeared that Savan
nah was doomed to the prospect of having poor players, but since
the present team has been working out on the field, it is a cer
tainty that the answer rests with LaMotte.
INDIANS FOLLOW
DOPESTER’S TIP;
LOSE TO PEACHES
DROP 3 TO 1 GAME DESPITE
SPLENDID PITCHING
OF JAKE LEVY
The Sivannah Indians move into
the first of a two-game series with
the Jacksonville Tars tonight in a
game scheduled for 8:15 at the Sta
dium. Being presented with a 3-1
acfeat last night, the Tribe is more
than anxious to take the boys of Babe
Gansel. Leaving the city after to
mono# night’s game, the Indians
u.ll take to the road in a series of
game.
Ari Kasky is slated for the mound
work tonight, and the big righthander
will more than have his hands full
With th3 heavy stickwork of the
Florid, aim.
The Savannah Indians ran true to
the dopesters sheet last night in
their game with the Macon Peaches
and allowed enough runs to cross the
platter in the eighth .stanza to over
come the one run lead of the Tribe,
and sweep the Peaches onto another
victory over the Indians by the score
of 3-1. Jak? Levy pitched beautiful
ball for the Tribe allowing nine hits
for the distance, vthile his team
mates were getting but three safe
ties off the slant of Purcey.
The Tribe got going early in the
game when little Eddie Moore scam
pered hme on a wild throw which
tried to nail him coming into third.
This run looked bigger than the Eif
fel Tower as the game wore on
through the seventh stanza, as the
fans fat on the edge of their seats
expectant with the hope that the In
dians would win a ball game. Then
in tlie first half of the eighth, fire
works started which looked like a
miniature Fourth of July celebration.
Sorenson, first man up for the
Peaches got on base as result of a
bunt laid down the first base line.
Reubling then beat a peg of Jake
Hines to get on the primary sack
safely, Sorensn going to second. Har
grove popped out to Downer, - both
runners remaining on their bags. Pur
cey, righthander for the Peaches
then pulled the game out of the fire
for the Peaches when he got a single
which scored Sorenson, with Gamble
following him to the plate and hit
ting a terrific two bagger which
scored Reubling. Scoring another
run in the ninth inning when Rub
ling scored Prout with a timely sin
gle. As usual, the Indians weren’t
able to make up their deficiency In
runs, and it was a case of Sadie bar
the door from then on.
Eddie Moore, was the spearhead in
the defensive work of the Indians.
Responsible for stopping the rally of
the Peaches in the eighth inning, lit
tle Eddie covered more ground last
night than a stock broker's clerk as
he fielded his position perfectly. Tice,
Elliott and Williams were the lucky
Tribesmen who were able to get on

SHOOT PLANNED
BY ASSOCIATION
LOCAL RIFLE CLUB IS TO
SPONSOR NATIONAL
EVENT
A national rifle shoot for the city
late this summer or in early fall is
the prospect with the announcement
by the Savannah Rifle Association of
the completion of its plans to con
struct a modern rifle range and club
house on a, tract adjoining the Ty
bee road.
Donated to the club by Henry C.
Walthour, the tract is ideally suited
to the requirements of the National
Rifle Association for a first-rate range.
It is located on the weft side of the
road, about eight miles from the city,
and comprises sixty-three and one-half
acres, which will permit the construc
tion of a pistol range of twenty-five
firing points, a long range for 22-
caliber rifles, and a 60-polnt range of
a shorter distance for rifles.
A club house of the most modern
type built according to plans of the
National Rifle Association w'll be
built on the range, and plans will be
inaugurated immediately for bring
ing the national shoot to the city.
Real antiques: Preserved in some
old American houses are platforms,
with stairs attached, which gentle
ren had to use to get into their
tightfltting breeches. These were
suspended at the side.

PICARD CLAIMS A
WINTER <3OLp TOURNAMENT
TOUGHEST ver J
Number 926
ALEX MORRISON says:
During a visit with Henry
Picard the other day, I learned
that the winter tour just finished
was perhaps the toughest on rec
ord. Henry tells me that almost
every tournament was played in
high winds or cold driving rains.
Comparing the past winter with
former winters he said that any
player who was able to average
as little as one or two strokes
higher this year equaled any lower
average that he might have had
in former years. This isn’t hard
to believe because there are no
greater handicaps for the golfer
than wind and rain.
Few players have mastered
shotmaking in the wind. Hagen,
Picard and Sarazen have demon
strated an edge over the field
playing in the breezes that keep
most players from finding the fair
ways and the greens. The wind
iis a player’s worst enemy because ,
j of the way it affects his swing.
