YELLOW JACKETS PEP IIP PRACTICE With tho return of nice weather this week, Decatur hign school athletes are working hard to get into condition for the opening of the spring athletic program. The first contest on the schedule is a track meet at Fort Wayne, next Saturday, in which Decatur, Fort Wayne South Side, Kendallville and probably Auburn will be entered. Coach Curtis planned to hold an interclass track and field meet at Bellmont Park this afternoon, in order to get a line on the candidates for the various events. The thinly clads have been greatly hampered in their conditioning workouts, due to cold anil rainy weather and also by the law-off during spring vacation last week. The baseball squad held a spirited workout yesterday afternoon and Coach Curtis was well pleased with the showing made by the boys, in vie wof the fact that they had very little practice so far. The squad was divided into two teams and a game was played. George Roop, sophomore, showed the hest form on the mound. He had plenty of stuff on the ball yesterday, striking out a large number and allowing only a few hits. DickEngle looked like the most promising candidate for the catching job. There are several new players out for the team this season, and indications point to a much stronger nine that the one that represented the Yellow Jackets last spring. The baseball team will get into action next week in a game with the Bluffton Tigers, at Bluffton. The track team will meet the Tigers at Bluffton in the forenoon and the baseball game will be played in the afternoon. 0 ' Red Sox Down Senators In Opening Game, 7 To 5 By United Press The Boston Red Sox are leading the I American league with a perfect per- i centage of 1,000.

M. 0 “Diplomacy” Is Coming To Shrine Auditorium With the exception of the plays of Shakespeare, Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the faded playbills of Victorian Sardou's "Diplomacy'' probably bear a large number of names i< splendent in the American theatre than any other play - . This play, last seen in the United States in 1914. is now at the half-cen-tury period of its life and to mark its Golden Jubilee anniversary, a cast has been assembled by George C. Tyler to give it presentation which is to shed fresh luster on the traditions cf a play enriched by the devotion of great actors and actresses for the last fifty years. The stage is literally set for an American and Canadian tour that will keep the theatre-lovers in a state of excitement until the play passes out in a blaze of glory in New York after a frief season in May-. The Jubilee cast to be seen in Fort Wayne includes Margaret Anglin. Frances Star, William Feversham, Jacob Ben-Ami, Helen Gahagan, Charles Soburn. Rollo Peters, Cecilia Loftus, Tyrone Power, Georgette Cohan, Gec-ges Renavent and Antony Hoiles, and comes to the Shrine Auditorium Sunday night of this week.

CRY OF“PLAY BALL" FILLS AIR New York, April 11—(U.R)-The flick of white spheres across green diamonds, the clash of ash on horsehide, the fragrance of freshly cut grass and toasted peanuts, all the sights and sounds and smells which comprise the lure of the national pastime are | calling nearly a quarter of n million fans to r ight major league ball parks today, as the 192 S baseball season gets under way. That inveterate foe of fandom, J. Pluvius may cause postponment of opening day ceremonies in several cities, but otherwise there will be , much marching to the flagpole, incidental music anil tossing out of 'he ! first ball ailxmt 3 P. M. The major league season opens on a wave of optimism—everv manager I figuring on doing better than last I year and every magnate looking forI ward to bigger and lietter gate receipts this year. There is nothing subtle about the siart of the current season, incidentally. Both pennant races crash right into full swing without the delay ol a single series. The outstanding favorites ' in the American league, the world’s cham- . pion New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics, will be at each other’s throats thin afternoon, weather permitting, fighting for advantage in a series which will be just as important as any other in determining . the outcome of the rice. Nor have the National league sched- ' ule makers been remiss is arranging I some fireworks for opening day, for ! the Pittsburgh Pirates 1927 pennant winners, tangle with their strongest rivals for 192 S honors, the St. Louis Cardinals. Cincinnati is looking forward to one of its greatest baseball openit.g, ail seats for Redland Park having been spld for the initial series against I the Chicago Cubs. At Chicago, as many fans as can ' | be spared from duty in the front line I trenches will repair to Cumiskey Park to see Ray Schalk’s White p x open the season against the Cleveland Indians. The Detroit Tigers, who are expected to crowd close upon the heels of the leaders in the American league, open against the St. Louis Drowns this afternoon. This series will bring together a number of players who figured in one of the biggest trades of winter. Heirae Manush. Lou Blue, Harry Rice and Elam Van Gilder. The series which promises drama in the respect is the one at the Polo grounds, featuring Rogers Hornsby in I a brand new Boston uniform. "The. I Rajah." traded to the Braves in midwinter. no one knows why, must be I prepared for the old familiar "Bronx cheer" at the first suspicion of a bobble. The Washington Senators and the Boston Red Sox. who stole a march on the other clubs by opening the season a day early at the national capital will renew martial relations at Fenway Park this afternoon. Brooklyn and Philadelphia open at Eibbets field a series which may go some ways towards determining th? | occupancy of the National league ' cellar this year.
