DEMPSEY ADDS THRILLTOPLAY By Frank Getty, VP Sports Editor New York. Sept. 19—For two hours and a half, "the big fight" which brought Jack Dempsey hack to Broad-1 way last night, was tiresome melodrama. For its last three minutes and a half, it was packed with thrills which brought the first night audience whooping to its feet. All the glamor and drama and action of a heavyweight championship tight were packed into the last few minutes of the otherwise sorry little play in which Jack and his wife. Estelle Taylor, are co-starring—their first joint effort upon the legitimate stage. Dempsey brought an appreciative yell from the audience when he stepped forth in the red and black trunks of his last ring battles. What Dempsey does to the "battling baker" of the play is a caution. The management advises us that this part will be played by relays of actors. It took Dempsey half a minute of the second round to drape the ponderous form of Ralph Smith inert across the canvas. Smith lay there as though happy that it was all over. In his ring days. Jack of Manassa never learned to pull a punch, and he apparently hasn’t learned the art since he turned actor. The play may not prove a knockout—but it certainly ends in one. Otherwise it is pretty thin stuff o Watching The Scoreboard — —(U.R)— Yesterday’s hero: Bill Terry, New York Giants’ first baseman, whose home run in the tenth inning broke a 2-2 deadlock and gave the New York Giants a 3 to 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. A single by Jackson and a double by Hogan gave the Giants a one run lead in the sixth inning. The Pirates tied the score in the ninth only to have Terry break up the game. Burleigh Grimes allowed his former teammates eight hits in nine Innings. Dawson being charged with the defeat. The Pirates found Fred Fitzsimmons for eight safeties. St. laniis won its fifth straight from Philadelphia, 4 to 2. Wilson’s home run in the third gave the Cardinals a one run lead. Jess Haines allowed the Phillies six scattered hits. Ray Benge was found for ten safeties and McGraw allowed two. Although freely hit, Fred Blake was given brilliant support and Chicago won a 8 to 3 victory over Boston. The Cubs infield completed four double plays at crucial moments. Maguire. Chicago second baseman, led the attack on Cooney and Clarkson with four hits in four times at bat. The Cincinnati Reds scored three runs in the second inning to win from the Brooklyn Robins, 5 to 2. Rixey and Kolp allowed the Robins ten safe hits. A 14 to 11 victory over the St. Louis Browns gave the New York Yankees a two game lead in the American league pennant race when the Philadelphia Athletics were defeated by the Cleveland Indians. 3 to 2. Four St. Louis pitchers gave up 17 hits while three New York pitchers yielded 14. "Rube" Walberg allowed Cleveland five hits but they were bunched in the fifth and seventh to give the Indians a 3 to 2 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics, Rommel relieved Walberg in the eighth. Detroit defeated Washington 8 to 5. Page, rookie Tiger pitcher, was nicked for three runs in the second, then pitched scoreless hall until the ninth. Same West with three doubles and a s’ngle accounted for half of the Senators hits. ■"■-1 O ~~ ************* * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * ¥¥*¥¥¥«« Rogers Hornsby (.383) hit two singles in three times at bat.

T G 6 T J By SOL METZGER Coach Herb McCracken’s Lafayette eleven can be counted on to play a strong kicking game. When this tutor's safety man catches a punt there is always danger that he will return it for a good run. McCracken is a former pupil of Pop Warner. He played at Pitt when Pop was coaching there. Pop always figured that the easiest ground to gain was in returning punts and kick-offs. McCracken, thus filled with such dogma. carries it out in his coaching. To get his safety man free to return a punt when he knows a punt is coming. Herb has his ends drop back a few yards behind the scrimmage line and a few yards outside the opposing end. The two short defensive backs, usually the center and fullback, play back some 8 or 10 yards opposite the opposing ends. When the latter start down to cover a punt they meet with trouble every foot of the way. Bang! the opposing ends hit them from the outside. Immediately, the fullback and center comes rushing at them for another attempt to cut them down. As soon as either an end or a back drive at an oncoming end his job is to jump right up and go after the end again. The purpose, of course, is to clear the outside of the field for the receiver. When that is done and he can get started a run usually ensues. Tomorrow—a third way to block off the end running down on a punt. Through years of coaching, Sol Metzger has learned a few simple truths about diet. Coaches and players, alike, would benefit by his leaflet on “Diet and Training for Football.” Send stamped, addressed envelope, in care of this paper, and request it. Copyright 1928 Publishers Syndicate o Decatur 111., Sept. 19—(U.R)—The Decatur “Commies” won the championship of the Three Eye baseball league here by an 8 to 3 victory over Terre Haute in the Fifth game of the split season playoff. New York, Sept 19 — (U.R) — John Conway Toole, president of the International League announced that the “Little World Series" between the International League and American As sociatlon winners would begin in the International League city Wednesday, September 26.

The Fourth Down BBy Willie Punt The annual football game between the Decatur Yellow Jackets and the Bluffton Tigers promises to lie more interesting that ever this fall, since Ralph "Brick” Tyndall, coach of the Yellow Jackets last fall, has signed tin to help coach the Tigers this fall. Th? | game will be played at Bluffton on | October 27. Several fans are planning to follow the Yellow Jackets to Columbia City Friday afternoon for the game there. Killian, a veteran in the hackfield was the star of the Columbia City eleven in the game with Bluffton, last Saturday. The C. C. flash accounted for his team’s only touchdown with his wonderful passing and running. Columbia City has eight games scheduled for this fall. The schedule, after the Bluffton and Decatur games, is as follows: Sept. 29 —Kendallville. Oct. 6—At Warsaw. Oct. 13 Concordia College. Oct. 20 Central, of Fort Wayne Nov. 3—At Garrett. Nov. 10—Huntington Its Not What You Want “Willie Punt of the Decatur Democrat in commenting on the defeat of his Yellow Jackets in their first start against the Auburn high school eleven last Saturday points out that a bad beginning makes a good ending. Well, heie’s hoping the Yellow Jackets do something big in football this year, but we’re not wanting them to spurt their stuff too much when they play the Tigers"— Bluffton Banner. Begin Basketball Practice While every other high school of any size in Indiana is occupied with football, Coach Case, of Frankfort high, has started basketball practice. Eighty candidates t’oi the Fighting Five quintet greeted the coach for the initial practice Monday. If Frankfort wants the state basketball championship this year that badly, why not give them the shield now. Maybe Coach i Jolly and his Muncie Bearcats would let them play with the 1928 shield this fall while the Bearcats are playing foctball. Coach Lundy Welborn, of South Side high. Fort Wayne, informed us while he was here officiating in the DecaturAuburn game. Saturday, that Dickey, the big boy who starred on the Green's football and basketball teams last year, has regained his fine ]>hysical condition. Dickey was forced out of the lineup of the South Side basketball team just before the tournament opened last spring, when he suffered an attack of the flu and it settled in his knees. The Huntington Vikings come here on September 28 for the Yellow Jackets' next heme game. This will be the first meeting of the two teams on the gridiron for a few years. The Yellow Jackets were triumphant in the last football clash of the two schools. 0 YESTERDAY'S HOMERS Terry, Giants. 1; Wilson, Cards, 1; Collins.

FOR A GOOD SMOKE It Buys a Dandy Cigar — If You’re a Good Picker No doubt you’ve done your share of hunting for “a good five-cent smoke.” And finally decided “there ain’t no such thing." Wait—here’s the livest tip ever handed you: Havana Ribbon. Try that cigar, sir, and you’ll be playing five-cent limit till the cows come home. Havana Ribbon is as different from ordinary five-centers as ahome run is different from a pop fly. That’s because we’ve landed squarely on the secret of what makes a cigar good: Ripe tobacco Unlike the average nickel cigar, Havana Ribbon contains no bitter under-ripe nor flat-tasting overripe leaves. No “scraps” or cuttings discarded in the making of higher priced cigars. But only long-filler, fully-ripe leaves from the mid-sec-tion of choice tobacco plants. “Sounds reasonable,” you say. Why, man, it’s nothing short of amazing! Sold everywhere. Also Practical Pocket Packages of five cigars. •

Our Change of Policy

With the changes in everything from economic endeavors to mass production, we find too. that the great system of merchandising has also leaped forward. It is more noticeable in larger cities, because ihe small town merchants haven't changed from the old way as rapidly. You have window shopped in the larger cities and have noticed merchandise in the windows at surprising low prices. Immediately the question pops in your mind, “Why can't I buy that in Decatur for that price?” There are two answers to that question. The city merchant has a greater purchasing power than the small town man and he can obtain the same merchandise at less price by purchasing in volume. The other is the failure of the small town merchant advancing with the city man in modern merchandising. The small town clothier takes a great risk in buying future bills of goods. As a result he must buy limited quantities and mark "tnem high enough to insure him aqainst loss, and also to keep from losing money at Sale time. Some merchants mark their clothes hioh to be able to barter or “jew” down. This method is unheard of in the gcod store in a city. Sales aife becoming a menace to business and customers. We find that some practice continuous sales and sell the merchandise for

the amount it should be sold originally. As a result the Sale is a common thing and does not arouse the customer as it did In days gone by. In fact they lose confidence in the store that carries out this plan. Now that we have two retail stores —we have learned the methods of city merchandising and can see why it should be applied to the small trwn. Residents of the small town should have the same privileges as the city resident. We are now in the class of quantity buyers. We buy four times as much merchandise as we did when we had but one store. We art qoing to change our prices, sell everything cheaper and increase our turnover. This will insure the customer new and fresh mrechandise at all times. Before we have had twelve prices on men's suits —now we have five prices. Better quality anil at pradtically SIO.OO less on the suit. We take great care in selecting every article and do not employ a buyer to pick average merchandise to make a noise about. It isn't our plan to save you money on a few items, but on everything we sell. We want to increase our sales —and in this day of advancement we know that the only way to do it is to sell you everything at a less price, strictly guaranteed and backed with a reputation of thirty years of successful business in Decatur.
