YELLOW JACKETS LOSE TO TIGERS Two Big Innings Give Bluffton U.S. Nine A 9-2 Victory Over Locals Two big innings, the fourth and sixth, in which they scored eight runs gave the Bluffton high school Tigers a 9 —2 victory over the Decatur high school Yellow Jackest in the final game of the high .school season, played on the South Ward diamond, Friday afternoon. Outside of those two innings, the game was an interesting and evenly contested affair. Decatur opened the scoring in the third innings, when an error and two singles netted the Yellow Jackets their only runs. Thomas reached first on an error by Knoble. Bleeke singled, Thomas taking third. Bleeke stole second and Maser scored the two runners with a long single to right. Things looked bright for the locals it) the first inning, when Strickler walked and Bebout sent a crashing two-bagger to center field Heller tightened up then and pitched himself out of a nasty hole, striking out the next three hatters up. The Yellow Jackets got three men on base in the sixth inning on two singles and a ba.se on balls, but each of them was caught off the bag. Bob Strickler breezed through the fiist three innings in fine style-und not a runner reached third base. The Tigers solved his delivery in the fourth inning, however, and scored three runs on two singles, a double and an error. Strickler tightened up in the fifth inning and held the visitors to one run, which was due to an error in the field. The sixth inning was the big one for the Tigers. The first two men up reached first base on errors. Clark, the next man up. got in front of one of Strickler's curve trails, filling the bags Heller waited for a walk, forcing in a run. Strickler settled down | and struck out the next two batters Knoble and Redding, and things

'I looked better for the Yellow Jackest, 1 but Crosbie sent a screaming two bagJ ger over Dierks' head, scoring three I men. Crosbie reached third when I Dlerkes made a had peg from the out field Baxter scoring Crosbe. Ritchie was thrown out at first for the third out. This ended the score. Ing for both sides. Moser took up the pitching burden for the Yellow Jack- • ets in the seventh Inning and held the slugging Tigers at bay for the remainder of the game He struck out six batters and did not yield a hit. Moser, evidently, was trying to redeem himself for allowing four runs in the final Inning of the game at Bluffton u week ago and permitting theTlgers to nose out the Yellow Jackets, B—7. Brown, a freshman, hurled the last inning for Bluffton and got by with out yielding a hit. He struck out Bell and Brown. The hitting of the two teams was about even, eacli getting eight singles, but the Tigers excelled the locals in the field. Six errors were charged to the Yellow Jackets, while four misplays were credited to the visitors.
