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.

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. I I' A ft Wiil ft 9HHb FROM SEATTLE—Strong swimmers, the Seattle relay team, at Astoria, L. I.
