YELLOW JACKETS LOSE LAST GAME Doc.itur high school's Yellow Jack ets Mided the most disastrous baseball season the local school has had lor years yesterday, when they dropped an 8-1 decision to the Fort Wayne Central Tigers, at Fort Wayne. Yesterday’s defeat was tlie eleventh consecutive loss for the Yellow Jackets. who failed Io win a game this season. Despite the fact that they lost yesterday. the Yellow Jackets showed nineh improvement over thair performance in the first game with Central, played here several weeks ago. when the Tigers won a five-in-ning contest, 27-1. Bill Bell, hurling for the Curtismen. held the Tigers to four scattered hits. but. ragged support accounted for Cenft-al’s runs. The Yellow Jackets outhit Central. 64. Bell. Passwater and Hill each getting two hits. Passwater’s double in the first inning, coming after Bel! had singled, scored DecatAir's only run. Bob Hill made a sensational catch in left field for Decatur, and Shoaf did some classy fielding around second l>ase. Central scored four runs in the sixth inning, although only one hit was registered. Yesterday’s defeat for the Yellow Jackets was far from a disgrace, since Central won the championship of the southern half of the Northeastern Indiana conference and is picked to win the conference title. On Monday. Central defeated the strong Huntington team. 18-4. The 1927-28 athletic program of Decatur high school is now ended. School will close this week, with the commencement exercises on Friday night. Bell. Hill and Anadell are the only members of this year's baseball team to be graduated.
