ERRORS COSTLY TO 0. H. S. NINE Errors, partly excusable on ace tint of the poor condition of the diamond, p.oved to be the deciding factor in a well- pitched baseball game between the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets and the Wren. Ohio, high school nine, on the latter*s diamond, yesterday afternoon. Wren won by a score of George Hoop, Decatur sophompre, and W. Dull, the Wren moundsman. engaged in a nett pitching battle, but eratic support was accorded Hoop at various stages of the game. Each pitcher allowed only font hits. Dull struck out 14 Decatur butters and four Wren players fanned the air in vain. Hoop passed five batters and Dull issued four passes. Decatur made seven errors and Wien players committed five misplays. Locals Show Improvement The Yellow Jackets showed marked improvement over their showing at Fort Wayne agaihst South Side. Wednesday afternoon. Coach Curtis used only ten players and Roop pitched 'he entile game. The diamond at Wren was in poor poor condition. The right and center field gardens were plowed ground and * the infield was rough, causing the ball to take bad bounds. The Yellow Jackets will play their next game Saturday afternoon at Bluffton, the game starting at 2:301 o'clock. Coach Curtis probably will stat t Bell in the box. The Yellow Jackets and Tigers will ehgage In a track and field meet at Bluffton Saturday forenoon, starting at 8:30 o'clock. Coach Curtis planned to take a team to Kirkland this afternoon for a game of indoor baseball. The Decatur team was to lie chosen from members of the h'gh school gym classes.

EARL COOPER IS VETERAN RACER > 'i Indianapolis, Ind., 20 — Earl ! Cooper, captain cf the Marm n team ; in Hie Sixteenth International 500mile race to be held here May 30, who was driving one lunged racing cars in 1903 when Barney Oldfield, long since .etiied, was ttavelliug at the excess speed of a mile a minute, is one champion who catne back. Co -per. the quiet, unassuming generalissimo of the Marmon squadron, won undying fame in 1913 when he won eight consecutive major events in a car labelled 'No 8”. After years of successes on dirt track, road races, hoard and brick speedways, he retired from active competition with a tidy fourtune in his bank account. I Then he became one of the first airplane dealers in America, selling 130 planes in one year in the California atea. With each drop of a none too stable plape, his hank balance dwindled. and he retired from aviation. He had net been in a racing car — nor even seen a race in four years—when, while pttending a fair at Fresno. California. Joe Thomas.( preparing for a 150 mile race on the mile board bowl at Fresno, was rushed to the hospital with a serious ailment. The territory was scouted for a capable pilot to wheel Thomas' car which was a favorite in the coining contest. One of the old timers located Cooper. He refused at first and then consented to give the car a practice ride. ''You see' explains Cooper, “I quit racing because I felt that I was not driving as hard as I had in my victory days. So I didn’t know whether I could give the mount a creditable ride. I also knew that if I failed, there would lie the old story of the veteran who couldn't ccme back.'' But with all his misgivings, he finally consented to go to the starting wire. He not only won the race but established a new world's record beating the late Jimmy Murphy, then in his sensational winning streak, for first honors. 0 : ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ v ¥ ¥ ¥ * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * :.:«¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ Bibe Ruth, Yankees —Hit a double and a heme run in three times at bat "and scored two runs in the afternoon game, but failed to hit safely in four times at bat in the morning game.

(j NEW YORK PLANS GREAT RECEPTION FOR FLIERS (CONTI %UED FROM PAGE OVE) will lino the lower section of the big street. Upon the heads of the honored airmen will fall this shower of New- York confetti, the city's highest token of esteem. A “description of the ceremonies and the speeches of welcome by high officials and response by the men who hold the center of the world stage will be broadcast over a radio ho--k up of 65 stations. Thus an estimated 40,000,000 will join in New Tork's greeting to the heroes. May Visit Many Cities Montreal. Que., April 20—(U.R> —If present plans carry, many American cities will have an opportunity to see the doughty Bremen, which spanned the Nortn Atlantic from east to west. Major James Fitzmaurice at Lake St. Agnes near Murray Bay told the United Press today thrf: present plans call for a continental air cn ise of the United States after the New V<rk and Washington receptions. At the. conclusion of the American air trip, the Bremen pioha.bly will visit Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec and Toronto. The states' cruise will last probably two months and include nearly all the important cities in the U. S. going as far west as San Francisco,according to present plans. Then, if all goes well, Fitzmaurice hinted, the Canadian cities would be visited. He also intimated that the Bremen might, return to Europe as she came — piloted by Fitzmaurice, Baron Huenefeld and Capt. Hermann Koehl. "This is one of the matters that must still be discussed,” Fitzmaurice said, "but the Bremen brought us across.”

But when combined in a cigar you can buy for a nickel, man, you’ve found something! Here it is: Havana Ribbon. Value? Count back over the years—ovef the old-time purchasing power of a five-cent piece. Smoke a Havana Ribbon. You’ll find your nickel buys a better cigar than it over bought. Sheer popularity has done it. Immense production enables the use of tobaccos usually considered too | expensive for five-cent cigars. Havana Ribbon is made entirely of ripe tobacco — the choice middle leaves of the plant. No bitter underripe nor “flat" over-ripe leaves. Pure, fragrant, mellow-mild flavor of tobacco at its best. Long filler, too—no “cuttings" or short ends. Also sold in Practical Pocket Packages of five cigars,

BATTERS AHEAD OF THE PITCHERS New York. April 20. (INS) -That the butters of both major leagues tire far ahead of the pitchers is indicated by a perusal of the box scores of yesterday's games, in which thirteen teams pounded out 178 hits, Including 61 extra base blows, for a combined batting average of .335. This does not include the record of the Cincinnati Reds, who were held th two hits by Sheriff Blake of the Cubs. "Pie" Traynor of the Pirates led the sluggers with live hits. Those who collected four bingles were Hack Wilson. Joe Kelly and Pitcher Blake of the Cubs and Les Bell of the Braves. Wilson slammed out two homers and Kelly one. Fifteen home runs in all rattled off the bats of the big league sluggers. Babe Ruth collected his first four-base blow of the season. Ken Williams of the Red Sox, Ruth's chief home run rival in other years, also got one and is now leading the American leaguers with three homers. Giantham hit Pittsburgh's first hofne run of the season. 1 o - Planting Knowledge Knowledge is a comfortable and necessary retreat mid shelter for us in advanced age: and If we do not plant It when young.
