LOCALS LOSE LEAGUE GAME Decatur's Independent basebal] team had a bad second inning in its game with Arvilla Sunday afternoon and lost the game 9-5 at the local baseball lot. Hez Cochran, veteran pitcher of Decatur got out ot some pinches but a faltering support in the second frame allowed six runners to cross home plate. The lead was too great to overcome and the local team dropped to third place in the league with an average of .500. Christman, Decatur new first sacker knocked out a three bagger with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. Decatur players gathered six hits while the Arvilla team was collecting 7 hits, one a home run by Way. former Decatur fielder. Croy, Arvilla pitcher clouted out three hits, two of them doubles. He did a good job of pitching with the exception of one inning when the local hitters got to him for three runs. Walt of Arvilla and Beal and Peterson were the officials. It was Decatur's second defeat of the season. Officials of the league will meet in the next few days to determine how the three postponed games will be opposed of before July 5, when the second half of the season starts. Score by innings Team R.
