Our Commodores and Yellow Jackets took on the. chin again last night, lakes it pretty tough on a sports olumnist. 000 Both ball clubs played the l est ball they have shown in the past few weeks and we are sure they will snap out of it soon. 000 Shorty Laurent started an alu’t entire underclass team last niglit against Delphos. Three .reshmen. one sophomore and one on lor were in the starting five, "he youngsters played’ mighty v ml basketball at times but lack if experience told at various • ’ages of the game And the only ay to gain, experience is by 'laying. Prospects are looking p for the Commodores. 000 The Yellow Jackets ran into about the fastest ball club they have encountered this season last night at Rochester. For sheer speed, they were plenty tough. ’Terb Curtin started a secondn ring lineup shoving his regulars in the game near the end of the fl’-st half. The Yellow Jackets were trailing by six points at the half, falling to score a field goal during the first two periods. Decatur couldn’t overcome that sixpoint lead In litre final half. 000 The Yellow Jackets apparently have their work cut out for them tonight, when they tackle Murray Mendenhall’s Central Tigers at Fort Wayne. Central was nosed out at Bluffton last night by one point, 24 to 23, after leading 21 to 18 at the end of the

third quarter. 000 The Auburn Red Devils were | the victims of another upset last | night, losing to Wabash in a tight I defensive battle, 15 to 12. Dave [ Williams scored nine of Auburn’s I 12 points. 000 Hartford City found the going ‘ plenty tough at Kendallville, nosI ing out the Comets by two points-1 ,27 to 25, after leading 22 to 15 at. j the third quarter.

LAST month when the official National League pitching averages for 1932 were re- ; leased, the leading hurler, according to the figures was young Lonnie Warneke of the Cubs. Lonnie won 1 the most games, twenty-two, and also compiled the best earned run j record, allowing 2.37 runs per ; game. Warneke is a fine young monnds- ; man and all that, and his 1932 pitching record is very impressive even if he did prove to be just another “cousin” to those murderous Yankees last Fall. Just the same, many shrewd baseball men are of" the opinion that the best hurler in the Heydler circuit la«t year was not the young Chicago flinger; according to them the outstanding moundsman of 1932 was none other than the very Dizzy Dean of Saint Loo and Texas. I don’t need to tell you that this is Dizzy’s opinion also. Yon can’t get away from the records. and while Warneke’s looks very flashy on naper. Dean’s 1932

FAMOUS IRISH NOVELIST DEAO — George Moore, 80, Famous Author, Dies Today In London London, Jan. 21.— (U.R) —George Moore, the famous Irish novelist. : died today. Moore had lived quietly in Lqji- | don for several years, in contrast 1 with the days when his novels' shocked the Victorians and he was known as the “Enfant Terrible’’ of ’ British letters. Among the novelist’s best known 1 works were “Confessions of a Young Man,” “Esther Waters," ' "Hail and Farewell,” "A Storyteller's Holiday,’’ and "Heloise ami Abc'ard ” j The novelist was born in county Mayo. Ireland, 80 years ago. Moore spent his early life in France H- came to Englund with | the avowed intention of establlsh- | ing the esthetic novel, and remained to curse the machines of the I modern world, which he contended, | were destroying all art. Moore's books, though widely acI claimed by critics, were not best sellers and his income was limited. He was not married. He enjoyed an annual holiday in France, and often said he had to keep working to pay for it. o Constellation Stationary The constellation known as the Great Pipper seems to move around the North star once every 23 hours and about 56 minutes. This mo tlon is, of course, merely apparent. , as It is the earth which actually I moves. Foolish Frida in Lucre He that is proud of riches is a fool. Fbr if he be exalted above j his neighbors because he hath more i i gold, how much Inferior Is be to a ' gold mine I—Jeremy Taylor.

record shapes up just as impressively to say the least when you take everything into consideration. The Chicago ace won twenty-two combats with a pennant-winning outfit, while Diz copped eighteen victories while toiling for a seventh place club. And Dean’s won and lost record would be even better if it were not for the fact that for a spell last season the crippled condition of the St. Louis pitching staff made it necessary for him to pitch every other day. Dean worked more innings than anyone in the league, totalling 286; he hurled the greatest number of shutouts, four, and he chalked up the greatest num ber of strikeout victims. If that record doesn’t entitle him to the call as the leading National League pitcher of 1932, you’ll have to argue it out with Diz. When Dizzy was trying to earn a regular berth with the Cards this Spring, he did Plenty of boasting about his hurling ability, and Jimmy Wilson called him a fresh busher.

CROWD ATTENDS DINNER FRIDAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE garet Romine, Morgan county ■ vice chairman; Josephine WilI liams, seventh district vice chairman; Paul Fry, seventh district chairman; Wood, Williams and j Mrs. Flynn. o MAN ARRESTED IN ARSON PLOT I . CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE dared that 'the “warrants were issued on evidence tending to show that the purpose of the plot I was to collect 315.000 insurance money" and announced that *we have plenty of evidence and witnesses to prove otir charges.” i | Demonstrators Riot i . Chicago. Jan 21.—(U.R) — Additional precautionary measures at relief stations werfc planned by auuiorities today after ahas dozen officers were injured in a battle with more than 1,000 demonstrat- i ors. The riot was the second this week at relief centers. Agitators, demanding "cash Instead of paper," had planned outbreaks at four stations. They were quickly repelled al three, but repeated calls for reserve police squads were necessary before demionstrators wielding baseball bats and standards were dispersed at the other. The outbreaks were prompted, police believed, by plans to fingerprint all persons receiving food at various in stations in the city. o Beetle Largest Insect? In wing expanse alone the moth , Erebus agrippina, with a spread of I 11 Inches, is the largest insect j tnown today. If size Is to be gauged j by bulk, combined with body length, I the beetle Macrodi utla cervlcornls. which ranges up to 6 Inchjs in | length, is perhaps the largest known.

“Mebbe so," Dean came back, t “but I’m also a great pitcher.” And he has more than made good > He is exceedingly popular with the ; St. Louis fans, his colorful charact teristies and careful, happy-go-t lucky manner combined with hie 1 undeniable mound greatness making him an outstanding diamond t personality. ■ Dizzy’s right name is Jay Hanna Dean, but on the record books his i two front handles are listed as I Jerome Herman. He changed his t original name because he didn’t like t the sound of it. He says that the toughest batter for him to face is Lefty O'Doul of the Dodgers, and he names Babe i Herman, the Cubs’ new prize, as i the easiest for him to pitch against. Diz is looking forward to another big season in 1933. and if the Cards i do fairly well he will have a good i chance to win 25 or 30 games, what ' with his pitching skill and his iron i man proclivities. Watch him go next season, lads. < ODvrlght, 1133. Ktne Fettijr»« Svndlnte Inc
