Both teams ought to benefit greatly from the workout. The Yellow Jackets had the ball on the offensive for about a half hour und tried out all their plays. No. count was kept of the downs, but the Yellow Jackets managed to push the ball over for two or three touch downs. The Catholic line was pretty successful in breaking through the Yellow Jacket forward wall. After the Yellow Jackets had had a real workout at carrying the ball, the Catholic warriors took it and displayed their wares. The Yellow Jacket line seemed to strengthen when on the defensive and Coach Center’s men were held to short gains. After several minutes of scrimmaging D. C. H. S. pushed over two or three markers. Both teams appeared to be strong est on the defense. Teeple, left end on the Catholic team, was a big little man in last night’s scrimmage, making many tackles and spoiling many plays. Milt Swearinger was not in a suit last night, due to a Charley horse, and Jimmie Leonard called signals for the Yellow Jackets in his place.

Marion high's line is the same as last year and is said to be a stonewall. John Miller, of Anderson, has been chosen to referee the Decatur-Wa-bash game at Wabash next Saturday held its first scrimmage of the year Monday evening. Let's get a peppy yell leader at D. H.

YELLOWJACKETS HOLO SCRIMMAGE Practice With Catholic High In Preparation For Wabash Game The D. H. S. football team is work- ’ ing hard in preparation for the first 1 game on the schedule, which is a contest with Wabash high at Wabash next Saturday. Much improvement has been made by the squad within the last few days. Yesterday evening, Coach Kennedy sent his team through a hard scrimmage with the Catholic high team on Ahr's Field. The high school team was hard hit by graduation last spring and the coach had only a handful of veterans around which to mould a team. With many green players in the lineup, it likely will require the experience of a few games before they will hit their stride. Wnha«h has an experienced team this year and the Yellow Jackets will do well to hold them to a low score, in the opinion of local critics. However, the locals are expected to gain much valuable experience in that game which will prove beneficial in future contests. The next game will be with Marion at Marion, September 27. Several fans are planning to accompany the Yellow Jackets to Wabash Saturday, foach Kennedy expects to take the entire squad of about 20 players, if possible. Wabash, Sept. 17. —The first of the daily scrimmages for the high school eleven was held Monday evening in preparation for the Decatur contest. Three of the hospital list reported, Woods, Scott and Coburn appearing in suits. John Showalter, guard, was ordered to stay out of practice, owing to a badly bruised knee, which hampers ■ him considerably.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 17, 1924.

1 FAMOUS AUTO RACER KILLED ON TRACK 'X >. x .*•*** - >1 : 1 ’W -. ■’ 'J - JIMMY MURPHY Syracuse, N. Y. —Jimmy Murphy, i the most reckless automobile race driver in the world and the champion of his wild profession, took one chance too many during the running of the annual 150 mile race at the s.ate fair grounds track Monday afternoon, Sept. 15. State troopers picked Jimmy out of a ditch several feet from where his little bullet of a car lay on its back with its wheels still spinning in i the air and removed a big splinter of a 2 by 4 beam from his body. They lifted him into an ambulance ■ and Jimmy started on his last recki less t ide, bound for the hospital, this , time as a passenger. But when the ambulance drew up at the door he I was dead, the third winner of the famous 500 mile Indianapolis speed- . wav race to die in a racing smashup within the last two weeks. Jimmy, a Los Angeles boy, went out in a race that was just a jaunt t compared to some of the big events t in which he had driven his hurtling . steel comet. He was only making about eighty miles an hour at the I moment, pursuing “Red” Shafer of r Fort Worth Jex., who was crowding , his big Duesenberg along in first place, about two laps ahead of Mur--1 phy, who held second position. - gillaTs Several men showed~up well? Cornell being adept at the receiving 1 end of passes. Ross played his usual stellar game at quarter, sad made several long runs. Coach Thom is highly pleased with the offense, but the defense has caused him worry, the men failing to charge and make holes for the backs. Much individual attention has been given the men. and Couch Thom hopes in this way to ■ mend the flaws of the defense. The forward wall was rather fragile last night, and the seconds ripped through for some gains. The pep and fight of the entire squad aroused the admiration of many, and the fans are hoping to see the eleven which faces Decatur win by its fight and determination. More signals are being given each night, so a variety of plays will be on hand to baffle the Decatur defense.

The National League season closes Sept. 29 and the American league schedule ends the following day. The series hardly could be started without, one day of real for the players, so it is improbable that the classic will start before October 2. In order to avoid a gamble with treacherous October weather the contests will be played as rapidly as conditions will permit. If Detroit does not play the American league end of the series, the teams could make overnight jumps and play on successive days. In calling the meeting of the contending club owners, Commissioner Landis again failed to include an in-,
