French Co The U. S. S. Savannah had one of the most popular baseball teams in the Sunset League this year. The sailors won their popularity by the fine brand of baseball they showed in all played.

As they entered the league at mid-season that had little chance of coming to the top. They also were at a bi disadvantage being willed the cellar berth'by the Camden team which had to withdraw from-fhe league when the ship sailed. When thr of the league was made the Savannah had climbed up Into fourth place after having played Of the best games of any team In the league. The. Savannah had victories over the DeMolay league champions and nearly all the team the league Besidss having a first rate team the Savannah.had some real star players.

Uiief among these were Kelley who was picked for the "AH Sunset League-team, Lockwood who was one of the snappiest catchers to'appear In the this year, and Pfieffer who pitched some nice games for the saUors. Lockwofid Is a "peppy" player who has his head in the game every minute He is a good base ran- net- has a fine throwing arm. -He' watches his men and places tlicm where they are apt to do the most good.

Douglas and Solmon played well for the fans are all hoping the Savannah will be in port again" next summer so'that the sailors can put their team Into the league with no handicap and have a real chance to cop the pennant.

After being in port only one day. and without any practice whatever, the sailors played one of the strongest teams in the league "and suffered a 2-1 defeat after putting up a great game.

After that first game the fact'that the'Savannah team was gong to play was a signal for all the fans to turn-out as every game tha' sailors played was bound to be good asebau. The Savannah sailed out of icre the day after the league ended taking, with it the most popular service team that has ever appeared "here.
