YELLOW JACKET NINE DEFEATED Errors Prove Costly As I). H. S. Nine Bows To Huntington, 10 To 2 A lack of proper support in the pinches, caused the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets baseball team to bow down in defeat to the Huntington high school diamondmen at the South Ward baseball lot yesterday afternoon. The score was 10-2. The visitors walked off with an early lead and were never threatened. The Yellow Jackets showed signs ol life in their half of the thud inning and Bill Bell and Hob Hill both crossed the plate with markers on Bob Pass water's hit. Chet Heynolds, on the mound for Decatur, lacked the infield support necessary to win ball games, and, while he allowed 11 hits the errors were frequent. Bill Bell, played a good game at third sack and Carl Gerber played well at the premier base. Rudig, who started on the mound in the fourth inning, after the former for the visitors gave away to Swaim fell into hot water by permitting th? bases to be filled. Swaim fanned the next two men at bat and the Decatur rally tailed to materialize.
