JACKETS DRILL HARD FOR GAME Whether the members of the. Decatur high school football squad\ didn't know much about tacklingl last Saturday or whether the Jackets just folded their tents, will never be known —but it's a dead cinch that same bunch of boys know plenty nlow and will know more by next Saturday. Coach Tiny Horton, with his feathers more or less ruffled because of the 54-6 setback of last , week, sent his 35 players through a tough workout Monday and a i much more tougher one Tuesday, night. Tiny is going on the theory that if there is anyone on his squad prone to stay out late at night, he'll make them so tired they I can't get out at night. Anyway the hoys know a lot I more foot! tail and optimism has replaced embarrassment in the local grid camp. From the improvement shown in the two days of practice this week indications! are the Columbia City team will have to do a lot of stepping and side-stepping to get around the I Hortonmen next Saturday. The game here next Saturday at | 3 o'clock with Columbia City will j he the last home game for morel than a month. A big turn-out is expected. SEKYRA SHOWS MUCH STRENGTH New York. Sept. 23 —(U.R)—Joe j Sekyra. Dayton's “Bold Bohemian"! clearly is not the master of Tommy Loughran—and for that mat-i ter it is doubtful if any other boxer] can defeat the Philadelphia boxing master over a 10-nound route —but it will be some time before anoth-I er fighter accepts the veteran Ohioan as a “set-up" opponent. Sekyra removed all doubt as to I his fighting alSlity last night when he held Loughran to a close deci- L sion in the Daily Mirror's charity show which netted $27,000 for the hospital radio fund. The Ohioan, a 3 to 1 underdog in the betting despite his recent victory over I Charley Retzlaff. made a surpris-' ingly strong showing and went , into the final round of the bout I on even terms with the Philadel-| phian, who is accepted generally i as the most worthy challenger for Max Schmeling's world's heavyweight -title. Loughran. finishing strong and mixing Ids usual superb boxing with a heretofore unrevealed slugging attack, won the final round I bv a clear margin and reserved 1 his victory. The 15.000 spectators, r antivated by the underdog's brave bid for victory, booed the verdict and gave all their cheers to Sekyra but the Dayton veteran failed i to receive a single vote from the officials. Referee Arthur Donovan! calling the bout a draw and Judge Charles F. Mathison and Marty i Moyce, voting for Loughran. The Philadelphian's late rally in ■ which ho evened the score by out-, boxing Sekyra in the eighth and ninth rounds and went on to win bv outslngging and outboxing his rival in the tenth offset his poor showing in the early rounds. Sekyra took the first, second and fourth rounds and held Tommy even in the third, hut he captured only one round after that —taking th" seventh when he staggered Ixiughran with a terrific right smash to the jaw. For a moment it seemed that Loughran's title hopes wore to be shattered by a knockout. Tommy went lack to his boxing in the eighth and outstabbed Sekyra for two successive rounds. Loughran weighed 185 and Sekyra 177. Charley Retzlaff, 196%, Duluth knockout star, scored a two round

“POPEYE’S” TWIN MAKES COMIC SAILORMAN WONDER WHO’S WHO AND HOW fl 'W ■Ki /ft/P X Z- - -—■—■ —— —

“Popeye," the pig-iron muscled sailorman of comic pages whose rise to universal popularity has been meteoric and spectacular, admits that he is worried. Through E. C. Segar, creator of the mirthseasoned salt, “Popeye" has declared : “This thing is ruining me sleep. Here's a swab that resembles me so perfect I get to wonderin’ if I might not be two other swabs instead of meself. But it aint as if he was an enemy. He’s a fren. and that helps." “Popeye" has reference to Mr. Herbert Vernon, of Paterson. N. J. whose resemblance to the famous character is so marked that Vernon lives in dire dread of meeting on the street somebody who has connected with "Popeye's" fists. CRUCIAL GAMES START TODAY New York. Sept. 23.—(U.R)—Second place and second money in the 1931 American league race will be decided in a four-game series bettween the Washington Senators and New York which began here today. The Senators went into the opening game enjoying a one-half game lead over their rivals. They gained this advantage yesterday by whipping the Chicago White Sox. 7 to 2. while the Yankees were idle. Carl Fischer, Washington's star rookie, allowed the Sox but seven hits in scoring his 13th victory of the season. The Philadelphia Athletics established a new high winning record for Connie Mack teams by winning their 105th game of the season. Detroit’s toothless Tigers were the A s victims, and the score was 8 to 6. The Athletics scored all their runs in the first four innings. Infielder Mark Koenig went to the mound for the Tigers in the fifth and held the world champions scoreless for the rest of the game. In the only other American league game the St. Louis Browns scored five runs in the ninth inning to whip the Boston Red Sox. 5 to 2. In the National league, where but two games were played, the Brooklyn Robins defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6 to 3. and the Pittsburgh Pirates nosed out the Phillies 3 to 2 after 13 innings. Van Mungo and Quinn pitched for the Robins, while Paul Derringer, rookie ace, did the hurling for the losers. Heine Meine pitched the Pirates to their victory. Yesterday’s hero: Heine Meine. who pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 13-inning, 3 to 2. victory over

11 "But he needn't worry hisself." ■ Popeye reassures. "When 1 socks 11 'em they stays socked." Segar first became aware of the 1 existence of “Popeye’s" flesh-and- - blood double when he received the - following letter not long ago: . 'Segar. . I E Evening Journal. ■, New York City. Dear Sir: As the creator of “Popeye the ? Sailor." you will no doubt be . interested to know that somewhere in the world there is a person with such a face. ■ 1 I had this enclosed photo snapp--1 ed July 4th on a dare, and after •I we received the print I was toll ;| that I was crazy if I didn't semi i, it in to you and get your opinion of it. the Phillies. Meine held the Phils j hitless in 10 or the 13 innings and allowed only one hit until the ninth r in scoring his 19th victory of the !season. London Sees Return Os Victorian Styles 1 London, Sept. “’.—(U.R)—Victorianism will be the predominate ‘‘characteristic dress this fall. The bowler and tricorne hats trimmed | with long feathers were but mere ■ I forerunners. Discussions with designers of ' fancy dress and glances in Mayfair workshops confirm this decree. • Advances modified modes of 1870 j are already on exhibition by dress salons. Designers of fancy cos'j tomes predict a return to historical i modes for fancy dress, too. The ! bustle, hoop skirts and “straightJ jacket" bodice will be seen at the ‘ theater and on the ballroom floor. o Pennsylvania Bears Spurn Carnivorous Feasts Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 2?.—(U.R) — ■; Abundance of natural food is keep--1 ing Pennsylvania bears from varn--1 ivorous feeding, according to the . state game commission. During August the commission re--1 ceived only two claims for damage ; to livestock by bears, one for two > cattle in Elk county and the other for two lambs in Lyncoming county, t Destruction of farm crops by ■ deer also was reported declining. . Oats and buckwheat fields suf- ‘ sered principally from marauding ■ deer, 82 of which were killed by farmers during August to protect I crops. The total killed for August, ■ 1930, was 167. ; o Jobless Ask $2,000,000 Fund 1 Racine, Wis. —(U.R) — Unemployed men in Racine have petitioned the . city council to create a $2,000,000 1 fund from which each man with- ' out a job would be paid sl2 a week.

’ | Ever since the first day thaU >, “Popeye" appeared in the “EvenI ing Journal" I don't believe that I “ j have missed an insertion. My nickname is "Popeye" and ■1 as "Popeye” is making such a hit i throughout the country I can feel i justly proud of the name, even if j it is stolen. Kindly let me have your opinion j and teli me whether I deserve the . I name of "Popeye.” ' Respectfully yours, Herbert Vernon. Mr. Vernon appears to believe that he is the only person on earth - fortunate or unfortunate enough to resemble "Popeye." He may be 11 right. Again, he may not he. But I | so far no more strikingly deservi ing candidate has stepped forward i for the honor, d. — ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the teat questions printed on page two 1.
