YELLOW JACKETS RALLY TOO LATE Lead Piled Up In Early Iniwings Enables Bluffton to Beat I). 11. S. Nine. 7-5 The sting of the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets failed to take effect in the early innings, and the Bluffton Tigers clawed their way to a victory on the local sand lot at the South Ward ball diamond yesterday afternoon, Jo the tune of 7-5. Ragged support given to Hill Bell in the tirst five innings of a seven-inning encounter gave the visitors the necessary advantage. Decatur came to life in the last two innings and threatened to walk off with the game, but several bad breaks and the inability of Umpire Davis, of Fort Wayne to watch the ball and the base runner at the same time spelled defeat, for the local diamondmen. In. the first inning, Carl Gerber, first baseman. retired the first three men up, assisted by Bill Bell, twice and Dick Engle once. Decatur failed to score in the second half of the first frame. Redding. Ellenberger and Heller found Bell in Mae second inning for hits, and the visitors managed to bring a run across the plate. Decatur again failed to connect in the second inning. In the third inning, the Tigers connected with 4 hits and by the aid of :i errors stepped into a 4-run lead over the local aggregation. Again, Decatur failed to score. In the fourth inning. Bluffton added two runs and the Yellow- Jackets failed to score. In the fifth inning, the Tigers were retired with one run and the Yellow Jackets came to life. Bell, Bebout, Gerber and Hill crossed the plate with markers. Bluffton failed to score in the last two innings In the sixth inning, the locals got two men on base, but failed to produuce the necessary punch to put over any runs. In the seventh and last frame of the game, Kiess, batting for Hill, got to first on a double error and Anadell walked into a three bagger, scoring Lankenau who ran for Kiess. Referee Davis was watching the ball and, after the play, one of the Bluffton players reported the fact ..AJuuiell failed to tag seqond base. The umpire deemed it advisable to call Anadell out, and, after one more run was scored Decatur was retired. The local aggregation showed marked improvement and, with a few more practices, will prove a much better team. The Huntington Vikings come to this city Friday for a game with the local team, and, with the continued improvement Decatur should make it hot for the Kreigbauni aggregation.

As a result neither car was ever In prime condition and De Paolo’s best efforts landed him in third place in the championship contest for the year But this year, De Paolo, who is an unusual mechanic as well as a most capable driver, is concentrating all of his attention and abilities to his one car. He expects to strike a new reign of speed terror into the hurry camps of America with his participation in the 500-mile race here. »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦++tt4++4**4 Yesterday's Hero — Bentley who went in at first base for the New York Giants after Terry had given way to a pinch hitter in the ninth, went to bat in the tenth with two out and knocked in the winning run with a clean single.

The crippled Washington Senators, with five regulars out of the lineup, lit on Dutch Reuther, Yankee pitcher, in the first inning, scored seven runs and beat New York 7-4. The Yanks scored 3 in the first and 1 in the second. The pitching tightened after the second and none scored. The Chicago White Sox got six in the fourth, 3 in the eighth and 2 in the ninth inning for an 11-5 victory over Detroit. When the Cincinnati Reds finally succeeded in getting three Chicago cubs out in the third inning, the score was 10-4 against them, the Chicagcans having scored 8 runs in that session. The final score was Chicago 13 Cincinnati 9. Earl Webb, Cub “find" of the eason lived up to his reputation by hitting a home run, a double and a single. Cleveland had a bad day at St. Louis losing to the Browns, 13-3 Levsen, Shaute and Collard who pitched for the Indians were equally ineffective. The Browns scored six of their runs in the sixth.

■4l CARS ENTERED IN 500-MILE RACE Only 33 Cars Permitted To • Start In Annual Indianapolis Classic Indianapolis, Ind. May s—Forty one entries, the largest list since 1919. including eleven front wheel drive and the only foreigner who dared brave the stranglhohl vice in which American racing expert.', hold speedway supiemacy have been received for the Fifteenth International 500mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30. it was announced here today after the lists were closed for this year's contest. George Fertile, a Romanian, will drive a French Bugatti. It was the last entry received, coming by cable from the Speedway's Paris Office, Fernic and his car will be aboard the Berengaria sailing from Europe May 7. The list of entrants also includes three previous winners. Tommy Milton. only two time winner who has built a new car but may assign another driver. Frank Lockhart, who recently travelled 171 miles an hour in the car he will pilot here, and Peter De Paolo, who holds the track record of 101.13 miles an hour for five hundred miles. Only thirty-three cars are permitted to start on the speedway, according ti rules of the American automobile Association, the governing body of the sport. Therefore it seems likely that with nearly forty cars, which, it is expected will comprise this year’s tentative list, time trials held a few days preceding the race will assume unusual importance. It is necessary to make only 90 miles an hour for four consecutive laps to qualify a car for the 500 mile race. But when more than 33 cars arn listed it is the 33 fastest cars that go to the tape, the slower mounts remaining in their garages cn the day of the big show. None of the cars which come here, of course, have any difficulty making the 90 mile an hour qualifying average. The entry list is as follows: Entrant Car Driver Harry Hartz Erskine ’tiller Spl.

U. Bloomington, Ind. May 4—lndiana University's spring football drill which has just closed was the most successful in the history of the university. Coach Pat Page had close to a hundred candidates. More than half of his number dropped by the wayside before the day, some due to injuries, some to scholastic difficulties, while some could not stand the pace set by the dynamic Pat. Pat Page's biggest problem was not solved —that of producing big men to take the places of Walter Fisher and George Bishop, tackles who will graduate this June. He did locate some good eml material to take the place of Sibley, Nessel, and Winston, all of whom will receive degrees. New wingmen who showed promise of developing into regular gridders next fall are: Baker and Hiler, Mishawaka; Catterton, Kenosha, Wis., McCracken, Monrovia; Crowe, Markle; Simmons, fit., Stanley, New Albany; and Stickland, Owensville. Coach Page also considered shifting Weaver, Terre Haute, to an end position. The most pleasing of prospects to Coach Page was the many new men who tried for places in the backfield Most of the sophomore material was light but full of scrap and appeared able to give such men as Bennett, Garisen. Salmi, Harrell and Stephenson, a good run for positions next fall. The new men who showed promise are; George. Muncie; Thomas, Plymouth; Fleischer, New Albany; Magnabesco, Clinton; Todd, Bedford; Sprunger, Fort Wayne; Stevenson, Indianapolis; and Crawford, Kirkland. Indiana’s backfield next fall should rank with any in the conference. Bennett, Linton; Byers, Evansville; Salmi, Gary; Garrison and Harrell. Indianapolis; Stephenson, Bloomington; all players with at least a year’s experience. will be eligible. With this material plus the new men, Page will find
