PREBLE LOSES" TO CHATTANOOGA Ohio Team Hands Adams County Nine 11-1 Defeat At Preble Sunday Preble, Sept. 14.—After holding the fast stepping Chattanooga baseball team to a 11 tie, two weeks ago, the Preble nine went down to defeat before the mighty Ohioans by a 11-1 score hete Sunday, playing in a field of mud and semi darkness. Winteregg was on the mound for the Buckeye team and held the locals to four hits and retired ten via the strikeout route. He was a bit wild during the first few rounds, in which time he walked two and hit W. Lindeman with a bean hall, the ball bounding high into the air and landing on the giandstand. It was at first feared that Lindeman had been seriously injured and the game was delayed tor a short time. Luttman started on the mound for Preble, but was hit quite frequently due largely to a stiff shoulder. He walked two and allowed six hits in the three innings that he was on the slab. “Windy" Lindeman replaced him and yielded five hits and, due largely to errors, seven runs. He fanned seven and issued four passes. Preble scored its lone tally in the way of one of Winteregg's fast ones entitling him to first base, Busse struck out and R. Lindemau walked, sending his brother to second from which place he scored on Smith's single. Preble missed a golden opportunity to score in the third inning when, with one down. Busse and It. Lindeman singled. Smith struck out and Gerber walked tilling the bases but Ross was out at first for the final cut. Only two other Preble batsmtn | reached first during the remainder of the game. Ross was safe on Heffner’s error in the sixth and Gerber opened the ninth with a single, but the next three men were easy outs. "Jack"

‘ Saturday, but the Yellow Jackets had the last laugh yesterday when members ot the alumni team went hobbling around with sore muscles and Charley Horses. “The Decatur Yellow Jackets took ■ a defeat in their first start ot the sea1 son when they fell before the alumni | eleven. Lack of material is said to be . cue of the chief drawbacks to the I Yellow Juvket team. Only 13 men I were on the squad Saturday. The Tigers are confronted with about the same difficulty. Coach Means has • only 16 men on his squad. Neither , Bluffton or Decatur can withstand very much bad luck, so from now on 1 Ohl Mat: Jinx will have to spend hi" time in football camps where his I presence will not be noticed too readily."—Buck in the Banner. We have a lot more candidates for the team, Buck, but we didn't want those Bluffton scouts to see them Saturday. You’ll see a big swarm of Yellow Jackets about November 12, Buck. The following apology comes from
