The Yellow Jackets opened the ■ game by making seven first downs and a touchdown before Huntington got possession of the ball. The ' entire team played a great brand o' foot ball, the line held like steel ■ and the backfield made gains that f gave the team many first downs.

Huntington unable to make any headway was also forced to punt. Brown threw a pass which was intercepted by Carroll v lio gained about nine yards for the Vikings. Following that play the Huntington team made three first downs and the ball was within fifteen yards of the goal when Carroll threw a pass which was intercepted by Debolt.

A number of passes were completed by both teams but neither team came close to the scoring line before the quarter ended with Huntington in possession of the ball. The first part of the final period consisted of an aerial attack from Huntington, attempting nine passes and completing five of them for small gains.

Klepper on Last Green After Uphill Battle France Conter, new city golf champion didn't write the motto. “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good’’—but he certainly believes it for after the semi-wintery blasts of last Friday did queer things to his golf ball, France came back Saturday laughing at the wind and defeated W. A. Klepper, 1 up in a great 36-hole tournament to de termine the best player in Decatur for 1930. Conter overcame all sorts of handicaps to win the title. First he got all upset because there was enough wind blowing Friday to cause nervous folks to hunt cellars. Then Klepper went out and got a 4-hole lead. Counter cut it down to nothing then lost two more holes on the j first round. Saturday afternoon when the two golfers started their final IS holes 'hings looked blue for the youngergoiter. He settled down however. and at one time had a 22 up advan- 1 tage only to lose it and when the ' contestants came down the stretch. ' “xerything was even at the 35th hole. The whole thing was decided on the last green and Conter sank a beautiful putt to clinch the title. o- — * BASEBALL BRIEFS ' The baseball season is over and i preparations opened today for the I world series between the Philadeli phla Athletics and St. Louis Card inals, beginning at Philadelphia Wednesday. The final games Sunday provided many surprises. Babe Ruth, after 10 years in the outfield, returned to the mound to pitch the New York Yankees to a 9-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Dizzy Dean, 20-year-old rookie from the Houston Texas league club, made his major league debut by pitching the Cardinals to a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. allowing three hits. Washington won the season’s series from Philadelphia, 12 games to 10, by defatieng the Athletics. 9-4. General Crowder won his 19th game of the season. After spotting Cincinnti a 9-run lead, the Chicago Cubs overtook the Reds to win, 13-11. Carl Hubbell won his second game in two days as the New York Giants clinched third place with a 7-6 victory over the Philies. Fred Leach’s single in the tenth inning drove home the winning run. Hollis Thurstons hitting and pitching enabled Brooklyn to win from the Boston Braves, 6-3. In the other American league games the Chicago White Sox won from Detroit, 10-7, and St. Louis and Cleveland divided a doubleheader, the Browns winnings. 11-5, and tlie Indians winning, 15-5, Get the Habit—Trade at Homa.

dPIRATESNW TO SHAMROCKS IN SUNDAY TILT f Old Men Still Superior to Kids In Baseball Arguments L e With George Massonnee furnishing the theme song ! from “Bag Pipe.” Decatur Shamrocks made it two straight over Decatur Pirates | in a shivering baseball game at South Ward lot Sunday . afternoon. More than 1,000 fans shook, shivered and cheered as the Shamrocks stoned a rallv to come from behind 5-4 and win 9-6. The cold weather hindered both teams some, and most especially the old men. whose bones woul<| crack out strange music a« they squeaked around the bases. When Pat Coffee would raise his arm to peg to second, fans close to the home plate could hear the old arm -■aying “I’m getting old.’’ The fans were gluttons for punishment and refused to leave until the game was over. Many of the onlookers were pulling for a Pirate victory so a third game could be played. The series hae created more baseball interest than anything since the House of David game here years ago. The Shamrocks used about the same lineup as before, except Distell was on third and Huck Bowman, was in right field. The i Pirates lined up about the same. The Old Men got off to a good start and counted 4 runs early, on ' u flock of Pirate errors and mis- : lodgment. Then in the fifth inning, i Rill Bell started things for the i Pirates and smacked out a threebagger. More hits followed and I when the last grave was dug in | that inning the score had changed I completely and the Pirates were. i leading 5-4. The seventh inning saw more chances in the score. The Pirate nitching staff read like one of I these chain friendship letters: ' McWhinney to Blakey; Blakey to Horton. Yes. Tiny Horton, the I Iron Man of Terre Haute finished the game on the mound for the Pirates and let the old boys down without a hit. Hez Cochran was a little easier on Horton this Sunday and passed him twice. The Pirates tried hard to tie up the count in the ninth frame, but there wasn't much success and the final count stood 9-6. W ' Fine goin’, Yellow Jackets. We know you've got the stuff that it takes to win football games and with a little more practice, we can't see where any team can stop you. —oOo— Os course Steele, Brown and "offee deserve a lot ’of credit sot recounting for Yellow Jacket points, but don't forget that eight other boys were in tliere all the line fighting their way to make loles for the scorers. Pat Coffee broke through the Huntington line to grab a Viking behind his own goal for 2 points. That’s playing football, Pat. It appears that the old Shamocks are still too good for the Decatur Pirates. The Shamrocks have twice in a row laced the younger team on the local ball lot. The 1930 baseball season was washed Into the pages of history yesterday and all that ermains is the world series, which opens at Philadelphia next Wednesday afternoon. —oOo— Philadelphia Athletics play St. Louis Cardinals. The team which wins four games first wins the championship — Eight teams, four in each major league get part of the profits —oOo — Football in real for sure earnest this week. Next Saturday practically every college grid team in the nation will see action—and that’s what it will be for the next eight Saturdays—Action. —oOo — Notre Dame has the toughest schedule this season, that the Irish has even attempted.

SOMBRE CITf ASSUMES MY SERIES 1008 Cardinals on W ay to Philadelphia for Opening Ttitle Game Philadelphia, Sept. 29. — (U.R) — The grey haired old g-nt who has Seen holding down a cracker box |'or several years outside the bleacher entrance to Shibe park, intent! (upon b ing the first fan in line for 'he world series, was rewarded thi< morninc by the sight of the Phila-1 dolphia Athletics reporting for j early practice. The St. Louis Cardinals. Nation-, |;d league representatives for the( I third time in five years, were due , 1 j this afternoon, and with the pen-| nant races at an end this sombre I city took on an air of excitement (which was r fleeted throughout the, i nation wherever baseball fans : gatheted. Not since 1926 has (be National ’ league had a winner in the world serif s, ami the odds that it will do !so this time are slight indeed. Hut seme of these same Cardinals re-, I call the taste of victory, and the Athletics may be in for a far stiff'er fight than they encountered a I year ago when they maintained American league supremacy in no : uncertain fashion. Connie Mack, after nearly half a century in baseball, still refuses to I discuss the chances of his team • <>r to tell in advance his plans. But he admitted privately today that the Cardinals might as well be pre-

I pared to face left handed pitching | on the opening day of the series, since one "Lefty" Grbve will be sent aga.'nat the National league champions. Last year Connie crossed the Chicago Cubs by starting Howard Ehmke, a side arm pitcher who had not figured at all In the closing stages of th" American league pennant race. Ehmke beat the Cubs, and tile outcome of the 1929 series no longer was in doubt. This thne, old Mr. McGillicuddy intimates that he will play h s ace and start Grove against St. Louis. The Cardinals are entering the series touted as an "Inspired" team, because they moved up from bei hind during September and snatch•ed the National league pennant away from three more highly favored contenders. But it wiH take more than inspiration to connvct with “Lefty’’ Grove's fast ball and jto check the hitting of Al Simmons, Jimmy Foxx ami Cochrane. , Willie It sems probable that this year's National league representatives will better the record ( •of their immediate predecessors | ; and take more than one game from ■ ■the Athletics, the latter remain 7 to 5 favorites to win both the opener and the series. Tlie Athletics finished the season with 102 victories and 52 defeats. Tlie Cardinals, on the other hand, only found themselves about the , first of the month. Cards Depart St. Louis. Mo.. Sept. 29.—(U.R>— The St. Louis Cardinals were en route to Philadelphia today to represent the National league in : the world series opener at Shibe park.
