COMMODORES LOSE OPENER Fourteen errors by the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores, combined with heavy hitting by the Fort Wayne Central Catholic high school batters, gave the Fort Wayne nine a 17-2 victory over the Commodores here Friday afternoon, in the opening baseball game of the season for the Decatur team. The game was played on the diamond at the new municipal athletic field in the south part of the city. The Commodores were able to collect only two singles off the delivery of Burns and Arnold, the two visiting pitchers. Burns didn't allow a bingle in the two innings he worked, while Arnold allowed only two in five innings. One of the Decatur hits, a single by Coffee, combined with two walks and an error by Parrot. Fort Wayne center fielder, gave the Commodores their only two runs in the third inning. Decatur’s other hit was made by Sorg in the seventh inning. Bill Gass pitched the entire game for the Commodores. He allowed eight hits, two of them going for two bases each and walked two batters. He would have gotten by in pretty good shape had his teammates not made so many errors in the field. Burns struck ont four batters and Arnold made twelve fan the air. Burns issued one walk while Arnold gave three passes. The bright spot of the game for the Commodores was a nice double play, Foos to J. Mylott, which nipped two runners. The Fort Wayne team played good ball throughout the game, the error by Parrot in the third inning being their only misplay. The Commodores will play a return game with the Irish at Fort Wayne a little later in the season. Lineups and summary: Decatur AB RHE Coffee, ss . 4 114 Sorg. 3b .. 3 0 12 J. Mylott. 2b 3 0 0 2 F.

One of the strange things about the proposed heavyweight championship bout between Gene Tanney and Tom ’ Heeney is the absence of the element of hate. • Psychologists and others will tell * you that hi order to make physical ’combat between two Individuals to |say the least Interesting, they must hate each other. For the past nine years. Jack Demp- ' ' sey was a contender in whatever i heavyweight championship matches ’ were held, and •whenever Dempsey stepped into the ring one could be sure that he hated his adversary sufficiently to make a fight of Jt, Dempsey’s forte, in fact, was the liate which he was able to conjure up about his ■ • opponent. Against Georges Carpentier, whom I lie could have defeated under any cir- | ciimstanees. Jack worked up quite a nice little hate because the Frenchi man was hailed as the hero of the war, whereas Dempsey had barely made the shipyards. Against Luis Angel Firpo, Dempsey worked up a hate bred of that first smack on the temple which nearly put him down for keeps. Jack Dempsey always was a fighter who supplied his own hates to any battle, particularly if it happened to be fore the championship of the world. Jack hated Tunney at Philadelphia. not that it did him much. As far as is known, Gene Tunney never hated any of his opponents. i I happened to be at the ringside during Gene’s fight with Georges I Carpentier. The Frenchman had backed Gene against the ropes in the

His ♦ripfe in the ninth was followed by Tris Speaker's sacrifice that enabled Cobb to score. While Earl Whitehill held the St. Louis Browns to four hits and his teem mates batted out a 3 to 0 victory. Easterling got his third home run in as many days. McManus also hit a home run. The St. Louis Cardinals made seven consecutive base hits after two were out in the seventh'inning and piled up five runs, enabling them to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6 to 2. Excellent relief pitching by Rube Ehrhardt enabled the Brooklyn Dodgers to, win from Philadelphia 8 to 6. F.ppa Jeppa Rixey held the hard hitting Chicago Cubs to four hits and Cincinnati won 6 to 0. Hack Wilson and Kiki Cuyler were held hitless. Although Washington touched Danny MacFayden for four runs in one inning, and Goose Goslin got his third home run of the season, the Boston Red Sox won 6-5. Al Thomas held the Cleveland 1 Indians helpless while the Chicago White Sox were hitting three Indian i pitchers hard, and the sox won 11 to i 1. o Salem, Mass —Stuffy Mclnnis, former Major League baseball star and I manager of the Philadelphia Nation- , als last year, has signed a contract to manage the saiem team in the New England League.

• fourteenth round, when suddenly Tuni ney ripped a right and left to the i body. "Gorgeous Georges," as they f ailed him at the time, willed ami sank to I the canvas. The Frenchman clutched I his groin and whlmp ß red that he had > been fouled. I never shall forget the twist of Tunney* Ups as he glided across the ring to a neutral corner, muttering: "Faker!" i To Carpentier's credit, it must bo said that he got up and motioned to ■ Tunney to come on and finish him—deliver the coup do grace — in the next round. But that was the only occasion, in all the fights in which Tunney has indulged, in which I knew him to lose his temper. Certainly at Chicago Tunney had only a disinterested sort of sympathy for the beaten Dempsey. Now. what about the coming fight? Tc.m Heeney certainly is not the type of man to inspire hate in any opponent. Nor can the New Zealander seem to work up any adequate hate on his own behalf. He and Gene will enter the ring as good friends as thev are today,—and equally as good friends —they will leave the ring after their battle. All this militates against public interest in the affair. It is possible that between now and next July some one will work up a lot of reason why Gene and Tom are desperate enemies, but it is more likely that they will enter the ring good friends, each with only an academic interest in the outcome of their fight for the heavyweight championship.

Settlement In Prospect In Kearns-Dempsey Suit — New York. April 21.— (U.R) —Jack Kearns’ suit against Jack Dempsey > for $701,026.60 today seemed to be ■ fairly on its way to settlement after j months of sparring, court delay and one no-decision trial. After the first day of the trial in federal court here Friday. Judge John I C. Knox adjourned court until 10:30 ’ a. m. Monday with the opposing conn- i seis in a clinch over contracts. Arthur T. Driscoll, chief counsel for Dempsey, announced late yesterday that he had turned down an offer for settlement out of court, but refused to say who made the offer. Kearns' counsel denied knowledge of any such I affair. "Why should we offer to settle out : of court when we've had all the bet- i ter of the trial so far?" Art Sagar, chief counsel for Kearns said. When Dempsey heard whisperings of a settlement outside of court lie said: "There'll be no settlement out of court. This case is going to bo I decided right here before these 12 jurors and Judge Knox.” For the benefit of the boxing world. Dempsey reiterated that he would not enter the ring again even if he lost the suit. "Nothing could make me fight again," Dempsey said. z —oPhilosopher’s Death Socrates, the famous Greek phi- i lesopher, in 39 B. C„ was accused of | impiety (the introduction of new gods) and of corrupting the youth. He defended himself In a famous speech which enraged rather than conciliated his judges. He was condemned. and drank hemlock in his prison surrounded by his disciples. o Eliminating Dust in Air In a year's time the average Amer! can inhales in the air he breathes five times his weight In dust, according to a recent estimate, says Popular Scl ence Monthly.

Tompkins and Thomas K Marshall each served eight full years as vice president of tlie United States John Adams, although serving two terms ns vice president, was not sworn In until April 30. 1789, and he therefore lacked 48 days of eight years. o Worsteds and Woolens Generally speaking, worsted fabrics are made of yarns In which the fibers all lie parallel, and woolens are made of yarns Iu which the fibers cross or •re mixed. Usually worsteds are made from long staple wools, and woolens are made from short staple wool. 0 Heroic Rescues at Sea In 1923, 713 American vessels met with disaster at sea on or near our coast. Twenty-six thousand people were on board these ships, but due to ' the splendid work of the United States coast guard the lives of only 86 were lost.

LL AjjfU Scoutmaster Resigns Cornelius Durkin, organiser and scoutmaster of troop 64 was compelled to give up his Hoy Scout activities In order to accept a position with the Western Union Telegraph company, at Fort Wayne.
