“Tiny” Horton Calls Yellow Jacket Grid Practici

FIRST DRILL IS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY More Than 40 Players Expected To Report For First Practice Burchard (Tiny) Horton, 1 Decatur high school football coach Ims issued a first cull; for football candidates for Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. All candidates tor; the team are asked- to report at the high school building, at 2 o'clock and equipment? will be distributed. Actual; practice will start at the! Country Club field at 3| o'c'ock tomorrow afternoon. Horton returned Sunday night I from Terre Haute where he at-1 tended Summer School. He stated that the prospects tor a good team here this year were favorable. A i number of heavy linemen return | this fall and more than 40 Yellow Jackets have already reported ready for the first drill. Horton stated that the biggest | problem would be to formulate an almost entirely new backfield. There are a number of last year's ; freshmen however who are likely to be regulars this season. The first game of the season is scheduled for September IS. when Zeko Young brings his Auburn Yellow Jackets here. Last , year the Hortonmen and Auburn i played a scoreless tie. Decatur' had the ball in Auburn, territory • a'most the entire game, but inexperience caused the hoys to lack] the necessary punch to put the I linll across. Tiny said that he would use 1 about the same method of play as ; he did last year, with a heavy lino ] and light backfield. The Decatur high school athletic field on West ’ Adams street will not be in con- j ditior. for games this season, and the Country Club field will he | used for the home games. Every candidate for the Yellow ' Jacket squad is asked to report ' ! Tuesday afternoon so that Coach | Horton can ascertain how much new equipment to obtain. The first week's drill will be | open to the pnHlic. Horton said. I It is not probable that scrimmage ■ ' will be started before the middle ; of week. Conditioning drills and kicking practice will be ' hold Tuesday. -> f , ET- ; We Owe —it to this esteemed community and ourselves to be at our best in service. I W. H.

Y., Aug. 24.— (U.K—The doubles title of the United States women's tennis tournament is to be decided this afternoon but as far as fans are concerned the affair is over with Mrs. Helen Willis Moody still the queen of them all. It took Mrs. Moody only 34 minutes yesterday to win for the seventh time in nine years the singles championship. She defeated Mrs. Eileen Bennett Whittingstall of Great Britain in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1. Mrs. Moody now ranks with Mrs. Molla Mallory in the number of national championships she won—both ? being credited with 7. In the war j year, however, Mrs. Mallory won a “patriotic” tournament which in its entry list made it virtually a'riational championship. There never was a moment during the match when Mrs. Whittingstall looked anything but the loser. Even when the score was tied at

GROVE SEEKS ~ NEW RECORDS I — New York, Aug. 24—(U.R)—Now that his sensational winning I streak of 16 consecutive 'games has been broken. Lefty Grove s' only hope for an all-time pitching record this season is to better the i high percentage mark of .872' established by Joe Wood of Boston in 1912 with 34 victories and 5 defeats. Grove equaled one of Wood s records with ills 16-gatne winning streak but his hope of bettering that record and going on to equal the National league mark of 19 straight was shattered when ue| ; was defeated 1 to 0 by Dick CotsI man and the St. Louis Brownes. Grove was not the fault of the; ' ilefeat however. He allowed only ’ ' 7 hits and would have had a shut I ; out but for a misjudged fly whi h j went for a double and drove in ; the only run of the game. Grove s mates also failed him at bat. maki ing only three hits est Coffman | 1 ail! experienced their first shut-

out of the year. The defeat was. Grove s third of the season and j brought his average down to .893 with 25 victories and three defeats. The Athletics drubbed the Browns, 10 to 0, in the second game. They pounded three pitchers for 17 hits while Waite Hoyt 'l held St. Louis to 4. Coffman's victory over Grove; made him a hero in St. Louis but he is forced to share honors with Jim Bottomley. Cardinals first; baseman. whose eleven!h home run gave the St. Louis National > ; league team a 1 to 0 triumph; i over Boston in the second game; ;of a doubleheader. The game was ‘ a pitching duel between Pau' r 'er I ringer and Ed Brandt. The Cards also took the first | game, 16 to 1.
