PLAY SECOND - GAME SATURDAY Decatur Yellow Jackets Play at Auburn In Sec- i ond Game of Season i The Decatur Yellow Jackets, who last Saturday surprised even their I most rabid followers with a sterling 6-0 victory over the Fort Wayne Central Catholic eleven, will engage Zeke Young's Auburn team at the Automobile city Saturday afternoon. September 17. Decatur will enter this week's contest with a chance to avenge a devastating 54-6 defeat suffered at the hands of the Auburn team last season, played here during the ; week ot the street fair. The Yellow Jackets, although inexperienced. put up a tine game last | week £jr the opening game, and if, the maiyntain that pace and are fortunate enougli to escape weak-1 enlng injuries, the local eleven i should furnish some tine football i entertainment for Decatur fans this season. The only injury of any consequence suffered by a member of the team to date is a badly strained leg muscle which kept Vernon 1 HUI. regular end of last season, out ot the lineup last week. It is doubtful ft Hill, who this year had been!' shifted into the backfield, will be •hie to see action against Auburn. • Only two home games are ached-i tiled tor the Yellow Jackets. Fort i Wayne Central will play here Fri-i day, October 21. The latter game' may be played earlier in the week as the annual state teachers insti-! tute will be held that week in In-' dianapolis and Fort Wayne. The complete schedule follows: 1 Sept. 17.—Auburn at Auburn. 24.—South Side at Fort Wayne. 1 Oct. 1. —Garrett at Garrett. 7. —Portland, there (night game) I 14—Fort Wayne Central, here, i 21.—Fort Wayne North Side, here 28—-Bluffton, ‘here (night game). o | • aI SNEDEKER’S SPORT BULLETIN ♦ ♦ ■ Smithtown. Pa., Sept. 11. — The end of another week, which has I been chuck full of excitement. We are in a mining town that is working every day in the week. They; are not marking much but it certainly looks great to see folks working. This is a rough old town, fights inside and outside the tent., This mountain moon over in these parts puts the natives in a fighting mood. Hicks and Burke, the only two .fighters on the job, came through ■with flying colors last week. Burkhead came back against Mushy Sobers and gave him a lacing. They previously fought a draw but Burky had his number this time. I On Wednesday night he took on Red Beam and won by a K. O. Friday night he fought Gabe Holloway who weighed 165. The bout was stopped in the third round to >ave iHol.oway further punishment. Tonight, Monday. Burky goes against a tough colored lad by the nam -of Frank Stone. Should be a gieat match.

Sept. 14 —(UP)— The Newark Bears have broken all attendance records for paid admissions in the International League for the second successive year. i The new pennant winners pliyed to 345,001 cash customers at their home games this season. League secretary William J. Manley announced. This beats Newark’s record of 331.000 made in 1931.

FOR about four-fifths of the distance, the National League race was packed with thrills for the fans of every city in the circuit. Week after week went by and still the first division and second division teams were separated by less than a hundred percentage points. Then something happened. The Chicago Cubs, kept in the race up to August by Rogers Hornsby, were handed over to first-baseman Charlie Grimm. Nearly everywhere, fans thought Hornsby had done about as well as anyone eould do with the material on hand. When Bill Veeck handed the reins to Grimm, the Wrigley entry was about three games out of the lead. The new manager oiled al) the working parts He told the players that common sense would be the only rule of discipline “The game’s the thing.” He sent out to the West Coast for a certain young shortstop named Mark Koenig, who had been thrown into the ash can by the American

Beedy. the one winning Republican candidate for congress, is a noted dry. personally and politically. r In his telegram to Chairman Sanders, Mr. Hoover warned against i "destructive panaceas." “Our task is to acquaint every man and woman in the country with .the facts and issues which confront the nation." he said. "In periods lof emergency and stress, steadfast I ■adherence to sound principles of government is indispensible to mt-, lonal security and a prerequisite to I ' recovery in business, agriculture' and employment. Adherence to , these principles has saver! the country during the last 12 months I from all manner of destructive pan'aceas. This adherence and the I measures and policies we have ‘id- ■ opted have preserved these principles and laid the foundation tor , recovery." Chairman Sanders sent Mr. HooI ver a telegram expressing disappointment at the result in Maine but predicting the President would tarry the state in November. o Car* vs Captive Turtle* Turtles live well In captivity In a S'-reened box filled with ear'll If I the earth Is removed every few • months and kept moist at all times They are disinclin 'd to feed In win ■ ter, but in warm weather will eat angleworms, slug* and Insects, also i strawberries, tomatoes. lettuce melon-rind and other succtilen' ■ I fruit*.

YANKS CLINCH SERIES PLACE New York Yankees Win American League Pennant Tuesday New York, Sept. 14 (U.R) —The New York Yankees have clinched! the American league pennant and returned to the championship heights from which they were ahak-l en three years ago by Connie, Mack's great Phi adelphiu team. When the Yanks defeated Cleveland, 9 to 3, yesterday for their! 100th victory of the season it gavel New York's American league club its seventh pennant in the last 12' vears. The Yanks finished their pennant drive 12Vi games ahead of the run-ner-up Athletics, last year's champions. and in a position where they now can lose all of their remaining 11 games without being beaten out. Manager Joe McCarthy has gain , [ed the distinction of being the first! pilot ever to lead teams to champ-, ionships In both big leagues, qie [won the. National league pennant with the Chicago Cubs in 1929. Me- | Carthy's Yankees probably are the [first outfit in major league history| to win a pennant without being blanked during the campaign. They have played 145 games this season without being shut out. McCarthy hopes tint this season's success will pave the way fcr a series of Yankee pannants such as was achieved by the late Miller Huggins who led the Yanks to championships in 1921-22-23 and again in 1926-27-28. The one missing note during the decisive game was the inability of • Babe Ruth to join in or witness the I climax of the campaign in which |he had p'ayed such an important part. However, the p'ayers rejoiced at news that the Babe probably 'would join them in the world ser I ies. Washington lost a chance to gain [on the idle Athletics when they dropped a 4-to-J decision to the [White Sox. Bump Hadi *y limited the tail-end I Red Sox to five safeties while the | Browns won. 9 to 4. They were [the only games scheduled in the : American league. Tn the Nationa' league, (he leadling Chicago Cubs extended their [ advantage to five and one-half [ games over the runner up Pirates !by splitting a twin bill with the i Giants. Chicago won the opener. 13 to 1. but dropped the night<®p. 3 Ito 2.
