LOCAL GOLFERS BEAT BLUFFTON Decatur Country Club golfers, captained by <’. O. Porter, sent the Bluff ton Country Club team back to the 1 Parlot City, with bad news to tell their wives and children, after 18I holes of close match play on the local i course yesterday afternoon. Decatur i won the match 40-36, but it was not uni til the last foursome had holed oct | that the victory was decided. A B. Cline was low for the visiting I team with a score of 74 for the 18j holes. K. Huye'.te was next with 82 anti Hoyt Hartman, who was buried down the list witli the average golfers, possibly with The hope of winning three points was thiul high man with an 83. Ed Engeler was low man for DecatU'with 80 for the two rounds. Charles Knapp was second with 82 and C. O. Porter, captain of the local team was third with 83. The Decatur golfers shot exceptionally well and upheld the age-old song of “Bluffton can not beat Decatur." Lee Simmons of Bluffton and Deca ] tur played with the Bluffton team but I failed to get in the low score picture.| According to the last official count; Mr. Simmons was looking for a new. ball in the rough near the sixth hole. It was Decatur's second victory of the season and of any other season. A check-up of the records shows that every Decatur golfer who played this year and last year against Bluffton, made a much better score in vester ; day's match. Thfrre were 28 players from each club in the tourney.

No Cause Given for Resignation of Bush Plttslnirgii, Pa., Aug. 29. (U.R) Donle Bush, teslgned munuger of the Pittsburgh Pirates, remained silent today regarding the eaime of his resignation, nor would officials of the team slied any light on Ills action. •We didn’t ask Bush to resign. Sam Dreyfuss. treasurer of the club, declared. "He came into the office just after the team got hack from Phi'adelphla, handed his resignat.cit to Father (Barney Dreyfuss, president of the team) and it was accepted.” Bush’s Statement was no more enlightening. “I merely walked into Mr. Dre}fuss’ office and offered my resignation” he said. “It was accepted and that's all there is to it. 1 have nothing more to say. Anything I could say at this time wouldn’t help matters any.” Sam Dreyfuss was willing to speculate on the probable cause of the action. “It may be that the poor showings of the club in the east had something to do with Donie’s action.” he said. "That seemed to me to be the ease for there was no doubt but that he contemplated resigning when lie arrived in Pittsburgh.” Jewel Ens. Pirate conch for the last seven years, was appointed manager and took command of the team just before yesterday’s double victory over Chicago. Rusli was in his fourth season here
