NAPPANEE INDEPENDENTS DEFEAT LYDICK, 5-1 '‘Dal’’ Hepler allowed tlie hard-hit-tins Lydick Independents just seven hits for one run. Our local Independents .were able to get to Grooms for ten hits, five of them being for extra bases and Nappanee came out on the long end of a 6-1 score in the game last Sunday. The Lydick team had Frank Miles, the old Nappanee Tiger shortstop, on its lineup and although he was playing first base, he still plays a bank-up game, but he was helpless before the great pitching of Hepler, striking out twice, once with the bases full and nobody out. ■.* The local boys jumped into a onerun lead in the third. Kronk opened the inning with a single to left. On a hit and run the second baseman was drawn out of position ancj Hepler shoved the ball right where he should have been and Kronk went to third. A. Tobias struck out and on an attempted double steal, Kronk was out at the plate. Hepler took third when Grooms threw into center field, trying to catch him off second and he scored on a wild pitch. Uline was hit in the head by a pitched ball. Middaugh grounded to Webb. They scored again ih the fifth. Kronk tripled to left Hepler struck out. Kronk scored while Miles threw A. Tobias out at first.

Webb singled to right and he took third and Bates, scored

when A. Tobias’ throw-in bounced off Kronk’s glove. Nancy struck out. Szmanda popped to W. Tobias. 'Nappanee sewed up the game in the eighth.

Yoder doubled along the right field foul-line, scoring Rosbrough. W. Tobias skied to Bates. Lydick’s only real threat to tie the score came in the eighth when they filled the bases with nobody out. Nancy got an infield single, Szmanda walked, Miller bounced a single off Hepler’s shins. This brought Milesup. Hepler threw three balls to him, then threw-straight strikes and struck him out.

game well in hand ulJtll the first of the seventh when inability to find the plate robbed him of the decision. The Goshen team scored 3 runs in the final frame on 2 free tickets to first, one hit, two stplen bases and a sacrifice hit. Although the Uline team out-hit the visitors Mann on the mound kept them well scattered for Goshen and- pitched out of a tight place in the last of the seventh after allowing three hits in that frame. The fielding of Mellinger and Tobias for Ulines and Schrock for Goshen featured the game. Wysong and Darr divided the hitting honors both connecting safely twice in four trips to the plate.

VITREOUS-SPEEDBOY GAME ENDS IN 2-2 TIE With Strang pitching his usual heady game and Stutsman in the pitching mood he acquires only occasionally, hits were, few add far between in the first game of last Saturday’s doubleheader which saw two second division teams, the Speedboys And..th*,.Yltreoiia,.ip. a.ctipn t _ The. Vib reous team went into the seventh inning on the long end of a 2 to 0 score. The Speedboys came back with a few hits and aided by a number of errors on the part of the Vitreous infield were able to tie the score in their half of the seventh, when the game was called to make way for the InterLeague game between Ulines and The Western Rubber, champions of the Goshen Municipal League. MERCHANTS WIN EASILY FROM COPPES TEAM The third place Merchants set back Coppes to the tune of 11 to 3, in spite of the presence of Hepler on the mound, in their Amateur league game Tuesday night. Gwin on the mound for the Merchants, in spite of his wildness, had the game well in hand at all times. With one exception he received excellent and at times spectacular support. Hepler was touched for few real base hits but his support was so ragged that the Merchants scored almost at will.

GOOD NEWS FOR HUNTERS; QUAIL AND RABBITS NUMEROUS Reports to the officers of the conservation department indicate an unusually large number of quail and rabbits. Motorists driving Hoosier highways say that at night some of the traffic lanes are literally e’.'ve with young rabbits that scurry to cover as the cars approach. Practically every section where quail customarily are found reports many coveys and at the close of a tranquil summer day when a midseason sun gently slides down beyond the distant horizon, this great game bird’s penetrating call may be l eafd on every side as he whistles merrily from meadow and golden yellow', wheat field. In late years land owners have learned that it Is not the legal hunting that decimates the quail crop; rather the cold icy winters when shelter and food are problems. To aid-in the perpetuation of this bird many land owners provide sanctuary by leaving a brush pile in fence corners and they also see the birds are fed and watered during such time3 when the elements prevent their natural hunting for iood by reason of deep snow or ice-ercated landscapes.
