Decatur Adds Elkhart To Grid Schedule November

HORTONMENTO TACKLE TOUGH HOOSIER TEAM Final Game of Season to Be Played at Elkhart, November 8 Tinv Horton's Decatur high school Yellow Jackets took on a real assignment today when contracts were signed for Decatur to meet Elkhart high school at Elkhart November 8. Ihe Elkhart game will be the last game of the season for the Hortonmen ami will give Coach Curtis two weeks to organize tor Ihe first basketball game. The Elkhart team is reported tt> be one of the toughest in north-, ecn Indiana and the Elkhart <n-,ieh. greatly impressed at the Decatur South Side game by the Yellow Jacket defense and possi-, bflities of Tiny Horton having one of the best teams in the state by the close of the season immediately communicated with local athletic officials. The result was Decatur adding another game to its schedule and tak'ng on the tough northern team. Elkhart high school has made a proud football record during the last five years and the big machine this year is predicted to be the best that school has ever turned out. Eight days lie between the Bluffton Decatur game and November 8,; an,l inasmuch as Coach Horton expects little trouble with the Parlor City team this year, he is actually figuring two weeks time to pre-' pnre for the Elkhart game. Immediately following the Elkhirt game, Coach Curtis will take charge of the athletes and basketball will start in Decatur, in preparation for the opening game November 21. o BASEBALL BRIEFS ' • * (By United Press) The St. Louis Cardinals had a chance today to clinch the National league pennant. If the Cardinale should win from Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs lose to Cincinnati, St Louis would clinch the flag. Even if the Cards dropped their three remaining games after today and the Cubs won their next three games. St. Louis would finish one game ahead. The Cardinals can clinch the flag by winning two of their remaining four games, regardless of what the Cubs do in their four' remaining games. If the Cubs lose one game, the best they can' do Is tie for the pennant even If the Cardinals should lose four in a row to the Pirates. The decline of the Brooklyn Robins continued yesterday when they lost their seventh straight game and dropped to fourth place. The last-place Phillies beat the Robins, 6-3, and enabled the idle NewYork Giants to move into third place half a game ahead of the Robins. Brooklyn's losing streak comes on the heels of their 11game winning spurt, longest of the season, which hoisted them to the top only to start their descent. In the other National league game Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati,

Sept. 25. —(U.R)—Jack Sharkey of Boston will attempt to hold his place in the front ranks lof the heavyweight contenders for Max Schmeling's title when he meets Vittorio Campolo of Argentina in a 15-round bout at Yankee stadium tonight. Memory of Sharkey's two dismal failures against Phil Scott and Max Schmeling is still fresh in the • minds of fight fans and tonight's : match promises to be the biggest financial flop since the Tunney- ; Heeney bout in 1928. I With Sharkey guaranteed SIOO.- i (•00, Madison Square Garden will have to gross about $150,000 to ( break even on the bout. Campolo i | is getting $7,500, the rental prom- ; , ises to take about $15,000 and when ; the other odds and ends are added I the total outlay may exceed $l5O.- i : uoo. • Sharkey was a 3 to 1 favorite in 'the betting today, but the big Bos- i lonian has blown so many chances < in the past that quite a few critics ; • believed Campolo was no worse < i than an even shot. i Campolo has trained hard for his , big chance, while Sharkey has ; : been inclined to take his training l ■ more or less casually. I1 Campolo will carry something i like 20 pounds advantage in weight. I 6*4 inches in height and 9% inches t in reach, but the chances are all i tins bulk will prove a handicap to I him. Campolo expects to weigh 1 221. Sharkey 109. Tonight's bout will be the first t important heavyweight match stag- i ed under the New York commis- [ I sion's new non-foul rule. Both 1 i gladiators will wear foul-proof pro- r ' lectors, and the bout cannot end a in a foul from a low punch. v Q e Make Mental Observation South Bend, Ind., Sept. 25. —(U.R) t — Whether George S. Myers will i be tried for the murder of 8-year-old Marverine Appel depended largely today upon the outcome of i lental tests being given him, authorities said. 1 Myers, according to the police, ' confessed three times that he kidnaped, attacked and choked the I girl to death with a piece of wire, but each confession was followed by a repudiation.

OLD TIMERS TO PLAN OFFENSE FOR NEXT GAME Shamrocks to Meet at Pat Coffee’s Tonight To “Talk It Over” The old Shamrock baseball team ! will meet tonight at 8 o'clock at I Pat Coffee’s to talk over plans for ‘the second encounter Sunday after(noon at 2:30 o'clock with Decatur Pirates at South Ward baseball 'lot. The announcement in itself is insignificant, but behind the fewwords that the Shamrocks will' 1 meet is a long long story. Some of the infield is mail be-' cause Hex Cochran. Shamrock twirier fanned Tiny Horton three | 'straight in last Sunday's game. I Buck Baxter is of the opinion that Hez should have let him hit at least one ball to the infield, so Buck could have tagged Horton out at first. Brice McMillan thinks Horton should have been fanned twice aud then permitted to hit the third time so he could have been caught out stealing the keystone t sack. All these things are to be dis-1 cussed at tonight's meeting of the Shamrocks, while at another meeting the irate Pirates, still stinging under the slap of last Sunday are determined to reverse the next Sunday decision. The Pirates are on a rampage; and have signer! an agreement that they'll sock the cover off of everything Cochran has to offer. Horton, the only Pirate player who Cochran and Coffee seemed to have real enthusiasm over fanning gave a legitimate excuse for not being able to see the ball, and this week he has been working out under the close supervision of Coach H. L. Curtis, with an eye on the future. Bill Bell, Pirate second sack master got a couple of hits last Sunday, but Pat's arm was too good and he caught Bill stealing second and again later stealing third. These things have been remedied. Giz Gerry, Pirate manager said and those old men will have every ambulance in town hurrying out to the ball park after the second game, the manager said. McWhinney and Ladd will be the starting battery and Bob White who throws a mean horse-shoe will be ready to help McWhinney out if needs be. Frank Peterson, will again chase the moths out of a century old umpire suit and will work behind the plate while Jakie Beal. Decatur's bewhiskered youth, who has agreed not to shave until Gunnar Elliot agrees to carry a rule book will work the bases again. George Massonee will sit sil ently by (as long as he can stand It) to advise with Shamrock managers while Dave Baker, Shamrock trainer will keep old muscles working tor at least itie Inninas. o Speaking of Sermons A young fellow from Fargo who should have known better thnn ask the question, inquires "if there are many women preachers In the United States?" "Millions.'’ sighed the Tribune editor, gazing at his wife's picture on the desk. "Mil Hons, my la>y ; and they're not all In the pulpits, either."

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1930.

«— | "**‘ ' z The Decatur Huntington football game at Huntington Saturday is' scheduled to start at 3:30 o’clock. 'Decatur time or 2:30 o'clock central standard time. —oOo— The game will be played at Kreighbaum field. Huntington's new athletic arena. The Vikings, reports say, are winding up with all their might for the Decatur game. / —oOo — Coach Horton took his squad last night into a big huddle —and then divided his players. The first string backfield was placed behind the second string line- and versa versa. - - oOo — Well, the results were that the line held and the backfield gained, meaning that the team shows a lot of improvement. Brown got off some good passes and Coach Horton took out his trick needle and shot a few new plays into the veins of a strengthening Yellow Jacket team. —oOo — A number of Decatur grid fans are out at Country Club field every afternoon at 3:45 o'clock watching the Jackets drill. — oOo — Among the second string players who are showing a lot of ability are two valuable ends. Sonny Ehinger and Gerald Eady, playing against an experienced line yesterday afternoon showed some real romise. They broke up a lot of good football plays and showed some real guts in fighting off intruders. —oOo — Snedeker. new football recruit showed some fine offensive ability with the Jackets in drill yesterday. Harold Melchi, regular end of 1929 who has been handicapped with illness the last two weeks worked out yesterday. Melchi looks good and together with Coffee. Odle. Schnepp and Snedeker, opponents will have to hunt other places to make gains than around Decatur ends.

Odle has been working out in the backfield part of the time and every afternoon makes a lot of worry for the defense. Dick has a good arm and uses it much to the disgust of his opponents. —oOo— Cubs and Cincinnati at Chicago —St. Louis and Pittsburgh at St. Louis—Four more games—Season over —October 1, World Series —after that the hot-stove league will divert to football. —oOo — That. Elkhart game November 8, added today to the Yellow Jacket schedule is a fine afterthought, is it so, when the fact is that ten or fifteen Indiana grid teams have been dickering with Elkhart for a game. It means this, that to get in the real football class, a team has to play good teams — Then victories are worth-while —-What. after all is gained by Decatur beating Bluffton in everything, year after year? —oOo — And Huntington? —oOo— Gunnar Elliott, newly elected president of the N. E. I. officials association dropped in on Footbawls the other day. Gunnar says he's seen several football games over Indiana this fall and Is of the opinion the N. E. I. teams are as good as any in the state—So Footbawls crossed his fingers and said thatt N. E. I. officiating was as good as any in the state. —oOo— Hand the old stuff right back to 'em. —oOo — And Huntington? . —oOo — Over at Bluffton they’ve got a free ,act that really outshines anything else at the famous fair. A man, climbs up high on a pole, sets fire to his clothing and diver, into a tank of water, on which oil is spread and burning. We’ve got it figured out that the poor fellow climbs up that pole, looks down at the Suburb and decides that even fire might be better—so he sets fire to himself and dives Into the water, disgusted and will-

Ing to try anything else. 000 Well, anyway, It's some fait —and whatever mgkes the fellow jump—it's a thrill to see It. —oOo — Footbawls found another Cub fan , yesterday—Frlckle Fullenkanip, lo- ' cal pioneer barbecue artist, still believes that the Cubs will win this year’s National League pennant —to which we add Amen. —oOo — Yellow Jackets, BEAT-HUNT-INGTON. O Colonels Win First Rochester. N. Y.. Sept. 25 —(U.R) ! —The Rochester Red Wings, international league champions, hoped to even the junior world series in the second game here today against the Louisville Colonels. I Rochester outhit Louisville yesterday but could not bunch their blows off Phil Weinert. Louisville southpaw. Paul Derringer, who started for Rochester, retired the Colonels in order in the first three innings, but yielded six runs in the fourth inning when the visitors made four hits, and were aided by two walks and two errors. After today's game the two teams will rest Friday"and resume the series with games here Saturday and Sunday after which they go to Louisville to complete the series. The first team to annex five games will win the playoff.

Taxation Is Keynote Wabash, Ind., Sept. 25 —(U.K) —•' Taxation was cited as the domln-i ant issue in this year's election by Paul V. McNutt, dean of the Indiana University Law school, in an address that opened the Democratic campaign in Wabash county last night. Attacking Governor Harry G. | Leslie for statements made at ; Linton pointing out that the present 29-cent tax rate was lower, than the tax rate during the last Democratic state administration, McNutt said: "The governor neglected to say that assessments now are about four times as high as they were then.” O What A Woman 45 to 49 Should Weigh Beware of Fat As women grow older they are apt to take on weight — best to watch out and keep from growing fat —weigh yourself today and see if your weight and height compare with figures below —If so you are lucky—your figure is ideally perfect and you can feel happy.

ACTRESS TELLS OF GAMBLING Clara Bow Says She Was Fooled Regarding Chips’ Value Hollywood. Sept. 25.—(U.R) The story of a brief but expensive stay I at the Calneva. Nev., gambling 1 tables was told by Clara Bow today a few hours after a typical, statement by Will Rogers had re-1 leased her from the silence d manded by social amenities. The movie "it girl” looked at a mo. nine newspaper in which Rog-1 ers admitted that he had "sort of '| introduced her at Calneva and announced that she was ready to talk.| Her explanation of why she would not pay four checks for sl3. ' 900 was explained tersely. She was nnacqiiaint.il with the gambling ,table procedure and found out too late that 50-cent pieces given her to play wit 11 represented SIOO each, she said. The statement infer r-d that even I when Miss Bow left the tables she I thought site had lost only 139 chips' valued at 50 cents each, or a total of S7O. But, she said, when the checks! she had signed a|<>-ared at the' bajtk they were for 139 chips at I SIOO each, or a total of $13,900. It was Miss Bow ’s bankers who I first began an investigation of the j checks. Attached to the four slips was a note asking the bank to "wire the fate of these checks," 'he statement said The bankers informed iter that the gambling house claimed almost $14,000 and she ordered payment stopped. "As 1 said in my first statement, if these people think they have an honest claim against me 1 will gladly receive any 1- gal documents that they serve on mi- or they can pies nt them to my attorney. W. I Gilbert,” Miss Bow stated. "1 have not previously given details concerning the affair at Caltieva because I did not care to mix my host. Will Rogers, in my personal affairs. However, since he has seen fit to make a statement :o the papers there appears to be io reason for me to keep quiet. (■HBBBBBHOBMHBMMHnBMBK TH E 1N1)I A N S I ARE COMING I FRIDAY I
