ROTARY TAKES LEAGUE LEAD IK GREAT GAME Coffeemen Trim Legion Entry In Extra Inning Hall (lame i People who like to see real red-blooded American kids, really enjoying life playing the greatest of outdoor games should by all means attend the 1 American Legion Junior league baseball games. Four junior teams are scrapping it out for the city championship and when this writer says scrapping that's just what he means. Lust night at South ward diamond, where every Tues- . da; and Friday .0 •; o'clock th* 1 teams play one game. Pat Coffee's I Rotary team oozed out a win over ! Fet'd O’ltrlen's American Legion ‘ entry, 20-21. The game hail to go I an extra Inning and it was anybody's game until old man night shoved the sunshine behind the clouds and forced the Legion hoys to take the field in semi-darkness j in their half of the extra session. The game had all the thrills that ' any big league gume ever had—shoestring catches three baggers ■ double plays rag chewing and J on top of all that the games are J free. Flven a lot of the old timers who used to buy their sack of peanuts every Sunday and start yelling "kill the umpire” were lined up last night along the southwest side of the field—and all In all it was a delightful two hours. To get hack to the game the notary team walked into an early lead caused largely by a series of Legion errors coupled with the ability of Flhinger Murphy-Klein henz and Co., to sock the pill into the -far edges of the lot. After piling up a 16-run lead in two innings Ritter was shifted from third base to the mound and things changed. The Legion players took on new hop -s and before long the score was almost tied. Finally in the first half of the seventh the s Legion representatives knotted the count. The Rotary nine was unable to untie the score and the game was forced into the eighth J inning and incidentally Into semidarkness. The Rotary team managed to snatch another run to break the deadlock in its half of the eighth and thereby ended the greatest game of the season so far. llend- | licks, Ritter and Andrews worked t on the mound for the Legion and t I .umgartner caught. F'or the Ro- : tary team Ogg and Omlor went alt 1 the route. It was a great contest and close t follow- is of th? league games say 1 that next Friday night when the Lions and Moose nines clash an- 1 other greut game is in store. There 1 is plenty of free parking space for cars and everyone is invited to at- ‘ tend the games. Lawrence Real worked behind ' fbe catcher as home plate umpire and Harvey Stevens worked the haSes. The standing at present is: Team VV. I, Pet. Rotary 4 1 ,800 Moos? 8 1 .750 Lions 1 3 .250 Leg on 1 4 .200 All players are in uniform and teams aie limited to boys between the ages of 12 and 17 years. Besides the regular league play there will b- an elimination tourney later in the season to determine which team will represent Decatur in the district American I.egion tourney at Muncie. The district tourney is the first leg to determine the Championship of the United States. For the first time In several years baseball is the chief topic of hoys In Decatur, and It is developing that while the game has been stagnant for many seasons, Decatur still has some of the old blood In Its veins which used to send BlUffton back to the quiet of the Wells county seat on the miserably short end of a baseball count. New Iron Ore Fields Lund, Sweden, —(UP)—New iron ore fields with an iron content of about 40 per cent have been discovered by Professor Wadding, of this city, in the vicinity of Lstad, in the province of Scania.

TO RELINQUISH WORLD'S TITLE New York, July 9.—(U.R) —Two weeks reign as undisputed world | light heavyweight citamplon has convinced Maxie Rosenhloom that his two year battle to win the title ! was a waste of effort and he iH ready to follow the example of Ills predecessors, Tommy Lougltrun and lack Delaney, and voluntarily re linqulsh the crown. Maxie found that winning the till? hail deprived him of a means j of livelihood. He can find no competition in IBs own class and one! of the N’W York commission's j foolisli rules prevents him from; stepping out of li is class to tight , heavier men. Rosenhloom spends his money, even faster than he makes It and must k-ep lighting to remain in j funds for his career as the "good (.line I'harLe" of Broadway night j life. He is willing to defend his title hut can find no promoter will-1 ing to match him with any of the contenders- all of whom lie has , defeated on - or more times in the], past two years. L Maxie plans to visit tin* state ath-| ( letic* commission tomorrow and ask | pel mission to engage in over-! weigh! bouts. If permission is re-1 fused he says he will give up the \ titb. j', “I suppos" j could get work in: other states," said Rosenhloom, i. "lint I’d rather give up the title i ‘ :ml fight heavyweights here than I ( keep it and fight outside of New j York. If tile commission refuses', my requ-st i ll waive 111 - champ- 1 ] innship." Rosenhloom applied permls-i. sion to meet heavyweights at the | ( last commission meeting but was! refused permission even to goj. thiough with Imuts contracted be- j j foie he won tlie title. Comm'ssioner William Muldoonl told him he would have to fight; men of his own size and when ] Maxie retorted that lie had "lick-', •d them all." Muldoon instructed aim to “lick them all over again " j It took Roesnbloom two years to prov IBs right to the champion- 1( stiip and in so doing li ■ exhausted file division. He defeated Jimmy '■ Slattery. Larry Johnson, Pete Latoz, Jimmy Biaddock. Yale Gkun, Joei Sekyta, Osk Till, Joe Anderson, Charley B-Hanger, Tiger Payne,, Larry Williams and Leo Lomski 1 and there are no other men in the livision capable of giving him a •ontest. Local promoters are uninterested in rematch ing Rosenhloom with any of the men he already lias de,eat d, although they are eag r to! natch him with heavyweights. -——— -o — 4 * I I .1 JUNIOR BAND ITEMS ARLINE BECKER, Editor L -i Well, we certainly did appreciate that splendid crowd last night. I told you once that it gave us a great big thrill to see -o large a crowd, and it surely did. I am sure you enjoyed our old time music last night. I heard several comments on it. Why didn't you all sing? Some sang and I think that was very! nice of you. Os course I know you | would rather listen to good music, j Well you know il is getting rather "buggy" up there hut we will try to keep from swallowing a I mouthful. You know Mr. Worthman had a terrible time last year! about tlie hug lie swallowed and I really don't th'nk lie bus quite ] gotten over it yet. Don't forget our concerts every, Tuesday at 8:30 at Central school grounds. We appreciate your interest in us. 600 KOOSIERS IN C. M. T. C. DRIII F't.

U.R/ —In-, terlachen’s Miinhnk- <1 fairways call-; oil out 1411-odd golfers today for I their final tuning up rounds on the, eve of the 31th national open! championship. The Interlachen course, with its! slow greens and heavy rough has p oveil such a stiff trial forth" majority of those pres ut that all agreed four par rounds—an aggregate of 288 would certainly win the title. A majority of the leading pros and amateurs here for the championship held that the course, while not as difficult as th? dread d one at Oakmont, was harder to play, than W ngeil Foot, where" Bobby , Jones won the title last summer. ] The slow greens, in particular have 1 many of the cohtestants cussing, while an excursion into the stubbly ‘tough means almost inevitably th? i loss of a stroke. * Bobby Jon s, who wears golf's j triple crown, rules a strong favorite on the eve of the tournament. Two "hooks'’ have -made their , appearance at Interlachen, on--quoting til Atlantan at odds of 7: to 5, while the other oiftrs 8 to! 5 against hobby suce ssfuliy defending his title. There s male betting on an open golf championship than the gener-j iat puoiie lealizes, hut it i.s a trill-! ute to the cleanlln ss of the gamei tha/ it never lias be n known to! .ut et tiie outcome of a tournament. The prohibitive odds against Bobby Jones indicate that it is once more a case of the Atlantan !against the field, and Bobby's play j has just.fi-d this estimate of his !ability. Yesterday, for all he eas- | oil up and loated through a com- ! plimentai y match with officials of | the U. S. G. A., he was hitting his j long irons with greater freedom I ini accuracy than he had in a long j lime. Jones found cause for satis-! faction iu that round, even if lie; did take mor than 80 to get home. I I :ut th a man to watch, the out; t mer who is likely to come back j into his own is Walter Hagen. Hagen is hitting the ball with a punch wli.oii has been missing from! liis game for a long time. The in-! dotent swing which marked Wal-j ter’s play of late has vanished, and | i; is a lejuvnated and serious I Hag li who will tee off Thmsday. ! In addition to Dr. O. F. Willing, | i Francis Ouimet and Holland Mae-j ] Ki-nzie, the Walter cup amateurs ; | who withdrew, there were still six eligible pros unheard from today. | One or tw o were expected to put in a belat -d appearance today, so ) that the field which sets out 'in i quest of tlie championship temor- ) row probably will number 142 or ! 143. o— BASEBALL BRIEFS ♦ ♦ (By United Press) The Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago f’ulis, 1929 major league pennant winners and runners-up in 'he current campaign, today were | faced w ith the opportunity to regain the leadership of their respective leagues.
