Fans and Players Alike, Realize LaMotte Has Failed
WINNER IN CLASS ‘B,’ PILOTED BY
RAINEY, MAKES GREAT SHOWING;
‘THE IMP’ AND ‘RULO’ ALSO VICTORS
BEAUFORT, S. C., July 18 (TP).—This season’s sail-boat
regatta at Beaufort was brought to a smashing elose yesterday
when despite the handicap of Friday’s squall in which a number
of boats were incapacitated, the event was continued with the
elimination entirely of the Class A vessels.
Those boats remaining in the competition provided the usual
picturesque scenes for the Beaufort event, which is bringing hun
dreds of spectators every year from the surrounding section.
Miss Polly Chisholm and John
Wyllie, of Savannah, sailing the
‘ Imp,” captured first place in .the
class “C" race. ‘‘Shearwater,’ of
Charlestn, placed second.
In the class “B” event. “High
Tide,” sailed across the finish line
ahead of “Teal,” second, and “Un
dine,” third.
In the class “D” event, the “Rulo”
won first place and the “Chan,’ sec
ond.
Boats were entered in the regatta
. from Beaufort, Rockville, and Savan
mh. A number of local entries par
ticipated, among them being boats in
the “A” class which was eliminated
entirely when many of the entries
caught in the sudden squall were
damaged beyond hope of immediate
repair.
An annual affair, the regatta al
ways attracts Large throngs of specta
tors, who pronounce as most pic
turesque the sight of the trim craft

It seems as though they must spill
over into the wind-whipped waters.
Although marred by the mishaps
occasioned by the storm, this year’s
event was pronounced a decided suc
cess by everyone connected with ar
rangements. Prospects are happy
for an even more successful regatta
next season.
Superior seamanship was demon
strated by yong Gus Rainey and his
crew in the Friday’s races which sud
denly terminated in a sudden squall
and wrecked the hopes of the major
portion of the boats. The young skip
per and his crew on the “High Tide”
was overturned by a heavy gust of
wind. After righting the boat and
balling all of the w’ater they finished
the race without assistance. The
storm was a real test of seamanship
as the youngsters in the class B. C,
and D sailed rings around ther elders
who manned the boats In the Class
A events.
This demonstration was the high
light of the races. The courage and
Initiative demonstrated by the young
boys in the last three classes was su
perb and they received the general
commendation of the entire atten
dance. The regatta as a whole was
the most successful sailboat racing
event ever held In the Southeast, this
being the general consensus of opin
ion of yachting experts.

The team is all right, most agree.
Well what is the matter then?
The Tribe should go on a spree.
And win just one in ten.
II
Fourteen games we have lost to
date
And there’s many more to come.
All the fans can’t calculate
Why Savannah’s on the bum.
111
We give the Tribe darn gcod sup
port,
The very best in the league.
But all we get from this old sport
Is weariness. and fatigue.
IV
Come on, Bcbby, give us a chance
Wo would like the Tribe ahead.
But if tn The Tinies we just glance
Wo would think the whole team
dead.
V
Give me the cry of the nigger.
Give me the til* in the park.
Give me the guy that can figure
Why the Tribe’s still in the dark.

LEGAL ATTACK
ON DETECTIVE
‘BROWN BOMBER’ COUNT
ERS DRUG CHARGES
WITH TWO SUITS
CHICAGO. July 18 (TP)—Chapter
number four in that thrilling mystery
drama, ,- The Drugging of a Prize
Fighter,” found Joe Louis on the de
fensive again toiay—but only for a
little while.
A Chicago detective charged that
the “Brown Bomber” was given a
hypodermic of some drug just before
he entered the ring against Max
Schmeling in New York. Joe and sev
eral of his kinfolks came back with
a denial.
Doday, the detective filed a SIOO -
000 suit against Louis. He says Joe
was too strong in his denial of the
drug charge, and charges libel.
Stepping inside the detective’s SIOO.-
000 lead, “Jolting Joe” countered with
a couple of law suits himself.. His
managers, Julian Black and John
Roxborough entered two suits against
the detective, each for SIOO,OOO. They
charge that the detective did a bit of
libelling himself when he hurled the
charge that Louis was drugged.
So Chicago is settling down tonight
to wait for the next chapter and
see if a federal judge can decide who
slandered horn. And if so, how much
it is worth.

OTHER SALLY TEAMS TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF POOR MANAGEMENT OF LOCAL TEAM
As the position of the Savannah Indians become® hopelessly
mired in the second division of the Sally League, a dominant re»
alization has been brought to the minds of Savannah’s sporting
public, that Bobby LaMotte as manager, is the sole reason and
cause for the downward skid of the Tribe. Standing in fourth
position in league batting, it cannot be said that the lack of team
versatility either on the bags or fielding is a reason for the pres,
ent standing of the Indians. . ;
Taking the position of other teams in other circuits and us
ing their performances as a standard of measurement in depict
ing the flaws in the so-called managership strategy of LaMotte,
one thing can be said and said alone. When a good manager
even with a poor team gets in the second division of his respec
tive league, he doesn’t stay there long, but is soon climbing to
the top of the heap mainly through the use of good sense dis
played on a ball diamond. Only in very rare instances is a team
continually on the bottom, and if they should hit a slump and skid
to the cellar, 'they soon come out and do not remain in the dol
drums for an appreciable length of time. That is what a manager
is paid for. When in a slump, the boss-man is responsible for
putting the club back on the track in such a manner as to start
winning ball games.
The old gag concerning the lack of skill in the present line
up of the Savannah Indians is a lot of “hot air” on the part of
LaMotte. Realizing that the fans are out for his scalp, the “I
--know-it-all” manager is discreetly keeping his mouth shut for
the. reason that he knows he hasn’t a thing to say which can do
the team any good, and has proven that his promises in the past
concerning the alleged future standings of the Indians has been
a lot of bunk which was calculated, and did pull the wool over
the eyes of Savannah’s sportsmen for a time. It is amusing to
watch the antics of LaMotte at the present time on a ball dia
mond when in the coaching box. Usually the very picture of con«
fidence, he is dragging his feet at the present time, as he watches
the Indians trail in the van of the other clubs of the Sally League.
Formerly secure in the knowledge that maybe the team
would hide his lack of baseball sense in winning ball games, the
Manager (?) LaMotte has suddenly come to a wall, with the
team losing all but seven games in the second half. A manager and
a manager alone is responsible for the showing of a ball club,
and whatever should be done to allevaite the playing of the In
dians should be done and done quickly. Finishing in fifth posi
tion for the first half of the season, the Indians are deep in the
second division at the present date, with one fact staring the
baseball public of Savannah in the face. As long as LaMotte is at
the helm, the Indians will remain on the bottom.
OLYMPIC SQUAD
MUST OBEY RULES
NEW YORK, July 18 (TP)—Amer
ican Olympic officials issued a stern
warning tonight to members of the
American team aboard the liner Man
hattan—bound for Germany and the
international games.
The President of the Olympic Com
mittee, Avery Brundage, declared that
athletes who violate training rules
aboard the ship will be subject to dis
missal from the squad.
Reports of drinking, smoking and
gambling among a few members of
the American team prompted Brund
age to issue his warning. He said
managers of the various teams will
be made responsible for the behavior
of individual athletes.
Brundage said: “The American peo
ple are paying for this trip, and they
have a right to expect us to conduct
ourselves accordihg to the highest
Olympic standards. Athletes who
break the rules may not be allowed
to compete in the Olympic games.

INDIANS JOURNEY
TO JACKSONVILLE
TO BATTLE TARS
BREAK EVEN WITH SENA.
TORS AND HOPE TO
“RETURN TO LIFE”
Still hopelessly in the ruck despite
their breaking even in the series with
the Columbia Senators, the Savannah
Indians trek into the home diamond
of the Jacksonville Tars today in a
game which should prove a start
for the belated winning drive of the
Tribe. Having been outplayed, out
fought, and outmaneuvered for the
entire second-half of the Sally league
schedule, the Indian- will seek once
again to break into the winning lists
of the circuit.
Kasky will probably take the
mound for the Indians, honing to
snap the losing streak. The big right
hander has been one of the most con
sistent pitchers on the Tribe roster,
and his swinging curves has been a
constant menace to the batsmen of
the opposing clubs. The addition of
three new men to the line-up of the
Indians should prove welcome. One
a pitcher, another an infielder and
the last a outfielder, it is expected
that Nick Etten will be taken off
the first sack and sent back to his
old post in the outfield. Etten playing
well as a utility player on the first
sack is primarily an outfielder and
the chunky player Is longing for his
old post near the bleachers.
The next home stand of the In
dians will start next Tuesday when
the Tars come blustering into town
for a one game stand. One of the
classiest teams In the circuit. Babe
Ganzel’s boys are hoping to improvs
their standing at the expense of the
Indians.
