Gerber was met at Bloomington by H. O. ”Pat” Page, head coach at the state university and was given a rousing welcome by the athletic-board. 1 The university football practice 1 starts today and Gerber indicated he would be with the freshman 1 squad when the first drill begins. ’ Page remarked that he believed i Gerber would make a great end on ■ mo football team and without doubt p would be a valuable basketball man. • Gerber played center on Decatur i high school basketball team for the entire four years he was in school and was the most feared man on the net court in northern Indiana, i He was chosen by many sports writ--1 ers as the greatest defensive ceni ter in northern Indiana. On *he football field Gerber playr ed full-back and end. and has Had four years experience in the grid r game. He was accompanied to t Bloomington yesterday by Herman i Myers and Harry Knapp of this t city and J. Dwight Peterson of in- : diana. Gerber was pledged to the Sigma Chi fraternity.

»■— l ■■ 1 - ' — Newspaper* ara ballyhooing , baseball, still Sunday there was { a sort of tinge to the air that in short order will mean swansong for the national pastime —and before long stadiums all over the nation will be filled— ’ and football will be king again. - i Some Indiana high school grid 1 teams started their seasons Satur- 1 day—Hot weather featured tho 1 few games, but every where in Indiana, football squads are shaping '' into teams for the next dozen Saturdays. Tiny Horton, new Yellow Jacket grid coach, has wasted no time in dragging 42 embryo footballers through a week of tough work-outs, and.the for- 1 mer Terre Haute Normal star says, “They ain’t seen nothin' yet." In other words this week will see the weaklings drop off the squad and next Saturday morning when the Jacketmen leave for : Auburn where they will engage Zeke Young's Auburn high school foothall team in the opener for both schools, only the best and toughest will be numbered among the Hortonmen. Here's the complete Yellow Jacket grid schedule; Sept. 13 —Auburn, there Sept. 20—South Side, Fort Wayne, there. Sept. 27 —Huntington, there Oct. 4—North Side, Fort Wayne, here. Oct. 11 —Portland, here. Oct. 16 —Central, Fort Wayne, here Oct. 25 —Garrett, here Oct. 30—Bluffton, there. It's too early, according to the grid mentor to say who’s who on the Jacket squad, but you ought to go out to the Country Club football field some afternoon about 4 o’clock —there's a merry scrap on for line positions and for several of the backfield places. In fact ■ts doubttul right now if a single player has a position cinched. From the looks of things at present, we’re going to have an 180-pound line and a fairly light backfiel^. Charley Knapp dropped in a while ago to tell us Purdue has a football team this year, too. Purdue, seems as though we’ve heard the name before. When a person goes into a bank tq pay a note, tho banker, no matter how experienced he is, gets his interest rate book out and looks up the interest due — Still high school athletic officials in northeastern Indiana still refuse to carry rule books. Gunner Elliott, who sells footrevolvers, basketballs, and other patent medicines for the Voice of Indiana, dropped in to town last week for a visit. Gunner, whose chief racket is refereeing and umpiring high school athletic events brought us the delightful news that he was not going I to work any ..Decatur ..football I games this seasofr. Bruff Cleary, who has been umpiring baseball in the Three-1 league this summer returned to Fort Wayne today to recuperate. Bruff came home weighing only 320 pounds. It's going to be great seeing all the officials, coaches and teams after a long summer. And the gratifying thing is that Decatur has real prospects for a football team this season. Schafer’s Hardware Store and Knapp’s hardware store are busy places these afternoons about 3 o'clock. About 25 or 30 baseball fans gather there to hear play by play reports of the Cubs baseball games. Fritz Schafer, who is managing the radio at Schafer Company has rigged up a score card on the front window and says if business continues lie’s going to install bleachers. Footbawls chief business this year is to help boost the Yellow Jackets — Send In your contributions folks. o Get the Habit —Trade at Home. \

CARDINALS IN BIG FIGHT FOR NAT LEAGUE WIN Cubs Pitching Staff Collapse May Cost Chicago Team Chicago, Sept. B—(U.R8 — (U.R) —Collapse of the Chicago Cubs’ pitching staff and the resultant slump of the National league pace setters has furnished new complications '.n the spirited 1930 pennant race. The Cubs, regarded as almost certain winners a week ago, have lost six of their last nine games and, with the end of the season less than three weeks away, each of the four first division teams still has a chance to cop the flag. Standing of the four contenders are: Games W L Pet. Behind Chicago 80 56 .588 St. Louis 77 58 .570 2% New York 76 60 .559 4 Brooklyn 75 60 .556 4% Chicago and New York have 18 games each to play and St. Louis and Brooklyn each havo 19. Neither of New York’s representatives has taken full advantage of the Cubs’ slump, the Giants breaking even in their 12 games played during the past '8 days while Brooklyn has won 4 and lost 2. The Cardinals, however, have been playing steady all and now look as the team most likely to head off the 1929 champions. They have gained five full games during the past 8 days, winning 7 in a row while the Cubs were winning three and losing six. During the last month the Cards have played at a .774 gait, winning 24 of 31 starts. If they continue this clip St. Louis is certain to extend its six year record of entertaining the world series every alternate year. The schedule for the balance of the season favors the two eastern contenders, with the Cubs and Cards playing all but four of the remaining games on the road, while the Robins and Giants play at home. The schedule for the four contenders is: Chicago—At Brooklyn 3; at Philadelphia 4; at New York 3; at Boston 4; Cincinnati at Chicago, 4. St. Louis —At New York 4; at Boston 3; at Brooklyn 3; at Philadelphia 5; Pittsburgh at St. Louis 4. New York—St. Louis 4; Pittsburgh 3; Chicago 3; Cincinnati 5; at Brooklyn 1; Philadelphia 2.

B.— (U.R) —Gangrene threatened hundreds of victims Injured by the hurricane that wrecked Saitto Domingo as the city strove today to re-establish its water supply and remove further danger from pestilence. The death toll was Increased hourly by gangrene and lock jaw, fiom which scores are suffering. Doctors and nurses worked without sleep in overcrowded hospitals, badly handicapped by a serious lack of medical supplies. It was impossible to learn the exact number of dead because bodies were cremated without identificatitm by several brigades working separately. It was necessary to burn the bodies as soon as possihle.

Estimates of the fatalities bo far, however, have reached 4,000. An official commission appointed to survey the damage to the city has already calculated the loss due to destruction of property at $30,000,000, Strong currents In the harbor still prevented relief vessels from unloifiDng, and ships were obliged to land their cargoes In their own boats. , The risk and difficulty in landing precious food, clothing, and medical supplies added to the delay of relief work. A city exhausted In an attempt to raise itself from ruin was alarmed by rumors that a new storm was approaching from Trinidad. Fortunately. the were false. Vaccination against typhoid started at police headquarters and other vaccination stations were being organized. The rapid spread of gangrene alarmed doctors who were already unable to care for those Injured in the hurricane. Lack of surgical Instruments forced doctors to operatew Ith the best instruments available and without using anesthetics. More than 1,500 operations for gangrene have been performed.
