COMMODORES DEFEAT WREN Going Into the seventh mid final Inning with two rims needed *to tie the score, the Decatur Catholic high school baseball team rallied to score three runs and defeat the Wren. 0., nine, on the Wren diamond Tuesday afternoon, by a score of 4-3. Up until the seventh inning, W. Dull, Wren's star pitcher, had held the Commodores at bay, allowing only three hits anti one run. In the seventh frame, the Commodores bunched two hits, a base on balls, an error and a sacrifice fly for thtee tallies. Foos, first man up. walked. He stole second and advanced to third on Mfller's sacrifice fly. : Coffee was safe on Worthington's error. Sorg struck out, but Hocky Mylott drove out a single, scoring Foos and Coffee. Hocky stole second and scored on a single by his brother. Petie. Gage ended the rally by striking out. Wren almost tied the score in the last half of the seventh. Schultz walked and advanced to third on two outs. He was tagged out trying to steal home. Bill Gass, who pitched for the Commodores, turned in a nice game. He received far better support from his teammates than he received in the opening game of the season against Central Catholic, of Fort Wayne, last week. Only two errors were charged to the Commodores yesterday, ami Gass made one of them. He allowed Only five hits and struck out nine hatters. Gass walked only two batters. Dull, the Wren pitcher, allowed only five hits, struck out 11 and walked three. The Commodores looked much better yesterday than they did in their opening game and they should make a better showing against Central Catholic when they play their return game at Fort Wayne. Friday. Coach Laurent and the Commodores are anxious to turn the tables on their old rivals. Lineups and summary: Decatur AB R H E Coffee, ss * .. . 3 1 2 (< Sorg. 3 b 4 0 0 0 J. Mylott. cf 3 11 (' F.

NINE Two bad innings, in which the Decatur Yellow Jackets obliging! v bunched erors w ith Kendallvile hits. I gave the Kendallville Red Devils au 11-3 victory in a game played at Kendallville Tuesday afternoon. Outsid ■ of those two Innings, the first and fifth, the game was a nip and tuck MuitestThe Red Devils hopped into the delivery of George Roop. Decatur twirler right at the start of the game and drove him from the mound before a single batter had been retired. Bill Bell relieved him and gst by pretty well for the remainder of the game, except when his support faltered and Tack Prentice clubbed out a home rim in the fifth frame. The Yellow Jackets made a total of eleven errors daring the game. Kendallville made three Bell held the Re I Devis to five hits and struck out eight batter while he was on the moundRor.p was touched for a walk and six hits. Prentice, who did the pitching for the Red Devils, walked two. allowed five hits and struck out four. The Yellow Jackets opened th? game by scoring one run in the first inning. Then the Red Devils jurnpt I into a big lead in their half of the inning, by scoring six runs. Decatur sc red two more runs in the second inning, and it still looked like the Yellow Jackets had a chance to pull the game out of the fire. All went well until the fifth inning. Shoaf, catcher, di opped the ball after Bell had struck out the first man up and the runner was safe at first. Two erors in succession by the Decatur infield let one run I in and left two men cn base. Then i Tack Prentice hit one bn the nose’ fori a four-bagger. Another run was scored in the sixth inningThe Yellow Jackets are badly in ■ need of an experienced catcher, Shoaf, who has been doing the receiving since I Dick Engle injured a finger, must be commended for his efforts, lint he is inexperienced at the position and naturally, his work is not up to snuff. Engle played in the outfield yesterday and it is believed he will Ije abe to return to the catching job by Friday, when the Yellow Jackets go to Portland.

PENNOCK AND RUTH SHINE By Les Conklin, INS Staff Correspondent Now York. April 25.—|1NS) —Ducky Harris, manager of the Washington Senators, has revised his opinion of the New York pitching staff today. Tn an interview yesterday. morning Ricky declared that the Yankee staff was on the verge of a complete breakdown. A few hours later here Pennock, mound ace of the wolrd's champions, held the Senators to three hits, whitewashing them 4 to 0 with the aid of two home runs by Babe Ruth. As a prophet. Bucky is a marvelous second baseman. Pennock narrowly missed a no-hit game, one of the Washington hits was a fly which Ruth misjudged, and the other two were grounders which might easily have been converted into putouts on a dry field. The Philadelphia fox fancier did not walk a man and retired fifteen batters in succession. His performance was a better one that his world . o' Tom Heeney Sails For U. S.

Since the city will provide a means to make a cleanup possible, surely the citizens should have pride enough in their ow nhomes to make this one grand clean sweep. Some of these lots no doubt, remain untouched because of a goixl reason, like sickness. absence from the city, etc., and these will, without a doubt be attended to very soon. Please have your rubbish placed in such a manner than the city men wdl be able to see it as no second trip will be made.
