DECATUR PLAYS FIRST FOOTBALL CAME SATURDAY \ellow Jackets Meet Central Catholic at Ft. Wayne September 10 Coach Burchard "Tiny” [ Horton is putting the Decatur Yellow Jackets through a series of intensive workouts this week in preparation fori the opening game of the foot-; ball season which will be plav-j ed with Central Catholic at the South Side stadium ini Fort Wayne. Saturday after-j noon. Practice was s'-v ted two weeks 1 ago. with only light workouts be-i cause of the intense heat. With cooler weather the past few days. ■ the workouts have been increased I in intensity tn an effort to develop i a team capable of giving the Fort i W yne school a good battle. Coach Horton faces a ptonu- j mental task in attempting to build , a successful team this season. Only tour regulars of the 1931 team are| on this year's squad, and only six other men with any experience are avai'able. The regulars who will form a nticieits for the "fellow Jacket team [ are Buffenbarger and Hill, in the; backfield, and Ford and Cloud in i the line. Hill has been shifted

i’TMIERE is an old adage in I sports that “a good little man 1 -JL cannot beat a good big man,” but it doesn’t always hold true. Time and again its fallacy has been < proved in boxing, running, football and other sports where individuals face each other in tests of strength, skill and endurance. The laurel wnath does not always go to the good big man. Here’s Mickey Walker, that marvel of the prize ring. Short, pudgy and veteran of fourteen years ring service. The Jersey Bulldog they call him and rightly so, for the little Mick makes up for his lack of stature by everlastingly and pugnaciously carrying the battle to his opponent. Walker, still well under the light-heavyweight limit of 175 pounds has, ever since he gave up his middle-weight championship, been battling men who outweighed him by thirty or more pounds and who towered head and shoulders above him in height. Some men are big and some men are little, says the smiling Mickey, but heart evens ’em up.

Feazel, an I end on the 1930 team, out of the game last season because of injuri lea, may not be available for Sal- ‘ urday’s game because of a case of j poison Ivy from which he is suffer- ‘ Ing. I A squad of about thirty candi[dates are working out daily. The majority of these candidates are 'lrishmen and sophomores. Not a 'great deal of success can be expected with so much green material I this season, but with this year’s I experience, hopes for above-the-av- [ erage teams in ensuing seasons are ’ high. The first three games on the Yel- ■ low Jacket schedule are all on forjoign fields. This Saturday Decatur trace's to the South Side stad- 1 I turn at Fort Wayne to meet Gen itral Catholic.

And he has proved it in many a hectic ring affair with bulky heavyweights. Why only last summer Mickey held Jack Sharkey, the present heavyweight champion, to a draw in fifteen rounds. And right now he is but one step away from another battle with Boston Jack—this time with the gem of fistic titles at stake. On September 19, two weeks hence, in the Madison Square Garden Bowl at Long Island City, N. Y., Walker squares off against Max Schmeling, who lost his title to Sharkey but a few weeks back. The event is being staged in the interests of the famous Free Milk Fund for Babies. Joseph “We wuz robbed” Jacobs, who looks after tZie interests of Schmeling, was not so keen to pit his man against the toy bulldog. He had his eyes focused on softer pickings. But the worthy cause and the prospects of a return shot at Sharkey next June decided him. Max has to win to retain his place as first contender, but he is facing a really tough job. Then we have another wee athlete

LEADERS PLAY 2 GAMES TODAY Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh, Both Have DoubleHeaders Today New York. Sept. 7-<U.R)—A pair 1 of double-headers today may have ; an important bearing on the outcome of the National league pennant race. The Chicago Cubs, enjoying a • first-place lead of six games. I opposed the Braves in a twin bill at Boston, and the second-place [ Pittsburgh Pirates were meeting i the Dodgers in a double session at Brooklyn. Chicago has 22 more games to I play, and Pittsburgh has only 20. | Consequently a gain of two full games at this late stage of the; race would be highly Important for, i either team. If Chicago gains two games today the Cubs would need to win | only 11 of their remaining 20 games to tie Pittsburgh if the! Pirates won all of their remaining 18. \s yesterday was traveling day. i the only competition in the major leagues was a double-header be-1 | tween Cleveland and the St. Louis I Browns. The Indians took both I ! ends. 4 to 3 and 6 to 0. to make a i : clean sweep of their four-game I series. Earl Averill. Cleveland's center- [ ; fielder, drove out his 31st home run of the season in the nightcap, i A three-run rally in the sixth inI nlng gave Cleveland the opening contest after Jack Russell had i kept the Browns’ 10 hits well scattered. In the nightcap. George Connally limited the Browns to I eight hits for a shutout. 1 Yesterday’s Hero: Pitcher

who humbled the world's best in the recent Olympics — “Wee Willie” Carr. Size made no difference to Bill. He and Big Ben Eastman staged a battle in the 400-meters which will go down in running history as the greatest thriller of the Olympics. Carr, coming not much above Eastman’s elbow, but a trim, well-muscled human speed machine, outstepped the long-striding Eastman in 46.2 seconds, an almost unbelievable time. It was his third consecutive win over Big Ben. “Aw shucks,” said Big Ben after the race in which he too finished in better than world’s record time only to be beaten by two yards, “you can’t beat Bill. He’s a great runner.” And he’s right. Bill is a great runner, one of the greatest in the history of track racing. He has set a mark which will give the boys something to shoot at for some time to come. A good little man can’t beat a good big man? ’Veil, now, we ask you. CwurtiM. Itlt. K3M rutiuM Sro<u»u 1m

British tennis star, attracted as much attention by his unusual attire as he did by 1 the quality of his playing, when he defeated Cecil Metz, of Memphis. < Tenn., in the first round of the ( national tennis championships at Forest Hills. L. I Austin, who is . 1 the second seeded foreign player. [ 1 won 6-1, 6-2. 6-1. < George Connally of Cleveland who, shut out the St. Louis Browns,! w ith eight hits, and made a triple h and two singles at bat. ■ 1 o . L Snedeker’s Sport Bulletin Stohlstown. Pa.. Sept. 5. — (Speed ia! correspondent!. — This is Sun-. day. Some of the boys are already I to start back to Decatur as it is ' school time. This past week was not all it should be in a fistic wayi" as we found boxers scarce (oppod sition) as we seemingly have them [ on the run due to the fact that our boys have been dealing out some real drubbings to their foes. Tarzan Hicks only indulged in exhibitions as the heavyweight crop dwindled out completely, Hicks' sensational fight with Andre having thrown a scare into ’em. [‘ Tuffy Burkhead came back after a week’s illness, fighting Mushy ' Sobers to a draw. It was truly a ? great fight with both boys batter- ‘ ed up considerably after the three rounds. Sobers is one of the best welters in these parts and considering the .fact that Burkey was somewhat weakened due to his illness he deserves plenty of credit. Dynamite Snedeker indulged in his first fight of the trip, taking on K. O. Howard. He won easily. * Howard looking very much like a beefsteak after the fray. Elton Archer won both his fights i * as did Dynamite Stitsel. Bull Mon- ‘ tana Ray! had but one fight in the * week and he snorted through to a win. Little Blondy. Everett had three fights, winning all. Ralph Peterson had one fight (barefisted) with one of the bad boys about town. This bout was ’ not bil'ed. taking place outside the ! tent. Ralph came through on top ' too. ] By the time Decatur fans read 1 this most of the boys will be back " in Decatur, all except Hicks and Burkhead as they are staying here 1 for a few days yet for special fights I now being arranged. The show wi 1 close for the summer in a few days then will all be back in Decatur to have fights for ihe Decaturites. The tour was not a success financially as the people over here are really hard hit and but for the past reputation of the show we would not hqve fared as well as we did, however, artistically. etc., all was great. All the boys behaved themselves and made • staunch friends in every town play- 11 ed. It was a vacation in one sense of the word and from that standpoint was more than a success. Bull Montana Rayll goes back to Decatur as the champion (champion eater). Casualties to date: Hicks, bad-ear; Stitsel. bad nose; Burkey, bad nose; Ralph Peterson, bad toe (the toe was not injured in the ring, however, he stepped on himself). All for now. O. K„ Decatur.

JAPAN’S remarkable showing in i the recent Olympics was a triumph for patience and training. Four, eight years ago, at Amsterdam and Paris, Japan adopted the spirit of Olympia, and as to its success one only has to refer to the winning schedule of the international games at Los Angeles. America has been charged frequently with taking its athletics too seriously, but in this last decade the little Flowery Kingdom is entitled to the laurels—if any—in this respect. Victory is the thing in the I.and of the Rising Sun, and “carry on” is the command. Four years ago, at Amsterdam, the Japanese coaches and entrants in the swimming events studied the methods of the American champions. They took moving pictures of the successful, powerful strokes of the Americans.. They knew that these methods must be best, for all things being equal physically, mentally and in the matter of courage, they knew that the stroke which propelled its user through the water fastest "must of necessity be the best stroke. These pictures were

i taken back to Japan. They were studied by the coaches and then the findings were turned over to schoolboys of 11, 12 and 13 years of age. These boys were trained in the use of these successful styles. For four years they have been at it—and there you have the reason for the clean-up in the water events by Japanese youngsters at Los Angeles. In at least two events the Japanese swimmers finished 1-2-3. And records fell like leaves in Autumn. Kitamura, fourteen-year-old Japanese schoolboy, hung up a new Olympic record in the marathon of the swimming tank—the 1,500 meter free style race, only to have his teammate Makino, fifteen-years-old, come along in another heat and surpass his mark. Then there was Yasuji Miyazaki, who captured the 100-meter free style championship. Experts rate him the best of the Japanese swimmers. Another outstanding Japanese performer at Los Angeles was Chn hei Nambu, holder of the world’s record in the broad jump. A leg injury prevented’him from placing i better than third in his favorite
