Fans Threaten Boycott Unless LaMotte Removed
GROWING CHORUS OF DISSENSION
AS LaMOTTE GUIDES SAVANNAH TO
BASEBALL CELLAR SALLY LEAGUE
From the sentiments as voiced by the public at large at the
Savannah-Jacksonville game last night the facts are pointing to
one thing and one thing alone: Unless Bobby LaMotte is removed
as,.manager of the Savannah baseball club, the local fans threaten
boycotting the remaining games of the present Sally League
season. This is indeed an alarming situation for the sporting pub
lic of the city. Having given their whole-hearted support to
the foundation and running of the Indians, they are sud
denly waking up to the realization that the losing streak of the
Tribe is caused by LaMotte and LaMotte alone.
For the first time during the present season, there has been
1 under current of disapproval as to the so-called strategy as
displayed by LaMotte in handling the diamond affairs of the
locals. It is begun to dawn on the bleacherites that there is truth
Jn the statement that LaMotte can’t and never will be able to
boss any baseball team whether it be in a Class B league or
whether it be a sandlot aggregation. LaMotte just hasn’t the
ability to successfully nurse a baseball club into the first division
•f any league. Os late it has been noticed that his statements.
Joncerning the future status of the team are few and far be
tween. because he himself realizes that the full load of responsi
bility for the poor showing of the Tribe rests with him and him
alone. One time vociferous with the comments as to what he was
going to do to put Savannah in the winning class of the league,
it seems queer that he should be so quiet at the present time and
leave the press statements to be uttered by the officials of the
association which controls the ball club.
As has been stated before, Savannah is deserving of a first
division baseball club and with the attendance which has boosted
rhe club’s earning power above every other club in the league
it seems that they can afford a winning combination. Whether
Bobby LaMotte can successfully manage a baseball seam is an
swered by the statement that the Indians have lost 14 games in
the present half of the Sally League. Give Savannah baseball
fans a manager who can mold a team into a first division outfit.
Savannah deserves it!

Mrs. E. H. (Ted) Coy, widow of the immortal Yale Univer

a fraternity badge. Interviewed by a reporter, Mrs. Coy, who ’

ATLANTA, July 16.—1 n the open
ing match of the Georgia amateur
golf tournament opening in Atlanta
yesterday, over the lengthy Capital
City Country club course. Lane Ful
enwider moved into the second round
by virtue of a 4 to 3 win over Dick
Mulherin of Augusta.
First day matches, featured by re ,
peated upsets, saw Savannah’s other
entry former champion Billy McWil '
liams, lose to John Ridley of Atlan- j
ta. McWilliams, winner of the title
in 1933 and 1934, joined in defeat
almost every other former title-holder
entered.
Several Atlantans expected to
make a good showing in the competi
tion failed to even qualify, and the
upsets of former leaders left surmis
ing rife as to the outcome of the
tournament, Charley Black, veteran
golfer and 1928 winner, is the sole
remaining former champion.
Pairings for the second round, to
be played today:

ing’s fray, when they lost a tight
game to the Jacksonville Tars 2-0.
Playing good ball behind the eight
hit hurling of Morris Pickens, the
Tribe appeared to be unable to get
their eye on the ball being content
with the four hits allotted them by
the stellar right-hander of the Tars,
Braun.
Making their biggest threat in the
first Inning when they worked run
ners to second base, the • Indians
spent the rest of the night popping
up and hitting easy grounders to the
ever alert Jacksonville infield. Jack
sonville countered tallies in the third
and ninth innings to make the rout
of the Tribe complete.
Jacksonville got their first run in
the third stanza when Gulian came
in from third on a single by B. Leitz
to right field. Gulian was worked
around to the third sack as results
of sacrifices by Braun and Bonner.
The last tally of the night came in
the Tars’ half of the ninth when
Stratton came in on a long outfield
fly by Gulian. Stratton got on by
a freak as he nicked a slow out drop
which trickled down the third base
line. Both Hines and Pickens watched
the ball, hoping against hope that
it would roll foul, but It didn’t.
Elliott Etten, Downer and Tice
were the only Indians who were able
to get on the sacks as results of
base hits. The trio of Indians once
on, were never in a position to score,
and the Tribe wound up the game
squarely behind the eight ball.
