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.

Is ona ot Uncle Sam’s chief hopes In Olympic tank events., y 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. THE LEADING BATTERS NEW YORK. July 18 (TP)—The Chicago White Sox slugger. Rip Rad cliff, took the lead in the American League batting race from Lou Gehrig today. Radcliff boosted his mark to .383 The New York first baseman Gehrig, dropped to second with 375.'

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.
