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! HOW THEY STAND AMERICAN LEAGUE Results Yesterday Detroit 5-4. New York 1-7.

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. The box score: JACKSONVILLE AB. R. H. PO A. Bonner, ss 3 0 1 0 5 B.
