COMMODORES HUMBLED, 5-0 Decatur Catholic High Team Bows To (’. C. IL S., Os | Fort Wayne, Thursday The Decatur Catholic high school Commodores and the Central Catho--1 <• high school nine, of Fort Wayne, staged an interesting ball game on the South Ward diamond here Thursday afternoon, but the Commodores lacked the old punch to push runs across tlte pan and. as a result, the v sitors won a 5-0 decision and made a clean sweep of the three game series between the two teams this Spring. | ■ lied Meyers, Commodore pitcher, turned in a neat performance, having 17 strike-outs to his credit and keep tig the nine hits lie allowed the Irish pretty wtll scather|d|. Art. Wemhoff caught a nice game for the locals, also, ami “Hocky” Mylott provided the fielding feature of the game by making a spectacular catch of DeWood's liner in the eighth inning. | Tlte Irish took advantage of two errors in the third inning to score a run. They counted again in the fifth when J. Mylott overthrew third, and bunched hits in the eighth frame for three more tallies. Matthew. at second for Fort Wayne, had a busy day and handled all of his chMces perfectly. Meyers got two of Decatur's three hits. He singled in the sixth inning and again in the ninth. Art Wemhofl was the only other Commodore to hit safely. He singled in the first inning. The Irish made nine hits and no errors. The Commodores collected three hits and made 4 errors. Therein lies the tale. The Commodores wore scheduled to go to Bluffton this afternoon to play the Bluffton high school Tigers. Box Score C. C n. S.

Driving a tiny Miller Special, Lock- - hart whirled around the track in a 'qualifying round yesterday, at an av--1 erage speed of 120.10 miles an hour for the 10-mile qualifying round. There will lie additional qualifying attempts today but it does not seem ! likely that this terrific pace will be ' equaled. Not far behind Lockhart in the gruelling drive around the two am: a half mile track were Leon Duray and Peter de Paolo. The former qualified at 118.788 miles an hour and the latter made the distance at 119.51 miles per hour. There was a high wind blowing across the track as the drivers in theii tiny, but powerful moter cars rolled onto the track. For a lap or two the little mounts were shot around the broad Speedway then with uplifted arms the drivers announced they were ready so rthe test —and the qualifying rounds were on. Ralph Hepburn sarted the qualify- ' ing and when lie turned in a performance of better than 114 miles an hour, the judges became interested in what generally is a drab procedure. For the remainder of the afternoon there was excitement as the drivers turned in high speed records. I Thirty-three drivers will lie en'ered in the race Monday. Forty will atI tempt to qualify. Other drivers who have qualified are: Harry Har z. 116.739; (".iff Woodbury, 113.200; Bob McDonogh, 113.739; Dave Lewis, 112.920; Benn ‘tt Hill. 112.013; Moran Batten. 111.940; Jack Petticord. 109.682; Pete Kreis, 109.900; Frank Elliott, 109 682; Cliff | Bergere. 108.820; Earl Devore, 107.i 497; Dr. W E, Shattu’, 107.060; J. r-iiiman, 106.J78; Eddie Hearne, 105,115. 115; Wilbur Shaw, 104.465; Al Melcher, 102.918; L.
