The former champion was introducing his first boxing show to Chicago fans, and Jackie Fields, the welterweight champion, was handing Vince Dundee a very thorough, it not workmanlike. pasting in the 10 round feature bout. Suddenly it seemed as though the game spirit of Dempsey, seated at tlx. ringside, entered into the Baltimore Italian. With a great rally which he carried on into the face of a two fisted attack which had left him bruised and bleeding. Dundee swept into the champion and brought the crowd to its feet. It was a finish worthy of Dempsey himself. although the decision went to Fields at the end of ten rounds. Aside from the gallant rally on the part of Dundee, there was more excitement outside the ropes than inside at Jack’s first show. The crowd of 8,000 or so showed plainly that it had come to see the ex-champion and his attractive wife, Estelle Taylor, who was a ringside spectator. The receipts—s3l,s74.3s—were not up to Dempsey’s expectations but represented a profit on his initial venture in fight promotion In the middle west.

WILL SHORTEN SEASONS FOR MAJOR LEAGUES League Chiefs Announce New Season Length Plan For 1930 Schedule New York. Oct. 3. (U.R) —One of the most interesting developments of the late baseball season was the announced decision of major league chiefs to shorten the playing season in 1930. Interest in the national sport is at its lowest ebb today in all major league cities save, possibly, Philadelphia and Chicago, where preparations are being concluded for the world series. The pennant races were decided, mathematically, two weeks ago. Since then fans have been invited to attend meaningless games which had no bearing on the ultimate outI oome of the season's play and which, as a result, held little more interest than the spring training contests. The result has been far from encouraging. Fans have stayed at home, content to glean their baseball from the columns of the sport pages devoted to world series dope and comment. The Yankees, always a great drawing card in any city, have played a number of games in the last three weeks before stands that held fewer than 50 paid admissions. In Cincinnati, a few days ago, the Reds played before fewer than 300 paying customers. , in Chicago the Cubs still continue to draw fair crowds, despite the fact that their remaining games are only warming-up contests in preparation tor the world series. In that city, as in Philadelphia a highly different situation 'exists. The fans, starved for victory, are eager to see their representatives in action, even though little importance is attached to these late games. Heads of the major league teams, very naturally, are worried over this apparent lack of interest and have decided to try to eliminate the cause. The 1929 season might easily have been ended two. or even three weeks ago. Open dates were inserted in the schedule to give teams a chance to make up games called or postponed earlier in the year. This has proved unnecessary and the result has been one to three games a day where eight might have been played. On three days of the last seven no games were played in either league.

On two of these days no games were I scheduled. There hasn't been enough I baseball played in the past two weeks | to hold the attention of the fans and i they have turned to football and other fall sports.Realizing their mistake, club own J ers have resolved to keep the 1930 . season down to a minimum of play- ' Ing time and it is probable that the world series will have been completed In 1930 before October 3. • Baseball is essentially a summer sport ami its promoters are coming to’realize that they cannot compete successfully with football and other fall sports. It Is more than probable 1 C that the 1930 baseball season, as well f as those that follow, will have been - cleared entirely before the first big s football date—the first Saturday in 1 October. o— — r ~~1 o’. 1 . w AND NOW ONCE AGAIN—WE HOPE THIS IS FINAL—THE DECATUR-NORTH SIDE FOOTBALL GAME WILL BE PLAYED 1 TOMORROW (FRIDAY) AT 3:15 e O’CLOCK AT NORTH SIDE r FIELD. i- —oOo—d It’s paved all the way folks to the i- North Side scalping field—let’s join the crowd and see the Decatur-North e Side game at 3.15 o’clock tomorrow, t — oOqr The Yellow Jackets looked good i last night in practice — Coach Kidd , sent them through all sorts of workt outs and the Jackets appear ready to d do their stuff Friday. r —oOo—i Let’s l»eat North Side—lt isn’t an

impossible Job—ls the Jackets play ! the kind of footbull they’ve played in i practice this week there won’t be much to It. —oOo — i WE STILL HONESTLY, FIRM- ( LY, SINCERELY and TRULY BE- t LIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENT." —o()o — Several interested parties In the Huntington Conference discussion have told Footbawls their story. It seems as though both sides of the dispute had a legitimate story—and. well —here’s hoping the thing gets ironed out. —oOo — Don’t forget the date. October 25. It’s going to be a big day in Decatur—the Yellow Jackets will be hosts to the Bluffton TIGERS —and regardless of either team’s season record—both teams will be even that day —Come on over Pete and Kay and bring Roger and Buck. —oOo — In all probability there will be at least 2,000 people at the DecaturBluffton game. What’s that, oh Decatur will win, alright. —oOo— Pete in the Bluffton News has picked Philadelphia — because Footballs | picked the Cubs to win the world series. Roger in the Bluffton News favors not carrying RULE BOOKS because Footbawls believes officials SHOULD CARRY RULE BOOKS.— We wonder what would happen if Footbawls would pick Bluffton to beat Auburn. —oOo — Several Decaturites are planning on attending the IndianaNotre Dame game at Bloomington Saturday. It will be Notre Dame’s only game on Hoosier soil — at least Indiana is brave in scheduling the Irish. The line looked good in the YellowJacket practice last night—and it’s going to take a tough line to hold the North Side shift. Send in your guesses on the North

Herb says there are more candidates for basketball teams| ( in high school this year titan there]’ are people in the west suburb—and i we say Herb that ain’t many. —qOo— We’d certainly like to see the Huntington-Bluffton game this year. Inasmuch at neither team has done a lot of scoring it might be well to revise the rules and give 10 points for the-best dressed team; five points for the best cheering section; and'three points for the best snake-dance between halves. —oOo — Let’s take ’em as they come Yellow Jackets—BEAT NORTH SIDE. —QpO— Jackets —we’re going into the North Side game, full strength—no one is on the hurt list—we all Know about North Side shift —and we’ve got to win THAT GAME—we haven’t an alibi to stand on—and—oh well, we know you can and will win. —oOo— It might be well to inform you that North Side has never won an athletic event fropi the Jackets. -—oOo — The Daily Democrat will get the score at the half and at the end of the game. The half score should be here by 4:45 o’clock Friday afternoon and the final score should be.here by 5:30. If you want the score call 1000 or 1001. BEAT NORTH SIDE — BEAT' NORTH SIDE.’ o .
