AUBURN BEATS LOCAL ELEVEN SCORE. 19-14 Yellow Jackets Lose Second Game of Season Saturday Afternoon (By Dave Heller) The Decatur Yellow Jackets suffered their second defeat of the season Saturday afternoon, losing to the Auburn Red Devils by a score of 19 to 14. Playing a much heavier team and being handicapped by the absence of two of their regulars the locals showed much improvement over the C. C. game. Butler and Sheets, regular backfield men, were unable to play due to injuries received last week. Strickler’s passing was one of the outstanding features of the game, completing six out of ten attempts. During the first quarter of the game neither team was able to make much progress with the ball. A number of punts were exchanged but neither goal was threatened. In the second quarter Auburn started a passing attack which placed the pigskin on the Decatur 15-yard line. Myers, Red Devils' fullback then took the ball over the goal line for the first score of the game. Williams scored the extra point by a place kick. Late in this period Auburn threatened the Decatur goal line but the local defense tightened up and held, on the five-yard line. At the start of the second half the Red Devils took possession of the ball on the Decatur 25-yard line.

The Yellow Jackets soon got possession of the ball deep in their I | own territory and were forced to Lipunt, Williams of Auburn caught 1 the ball and ran 40 yards for a touchdown Williams again failed >_ - to score the point after. i Late in this period the locals started an attack towards the Au[burn goal line. Conrad recovered I the ball on the 15-yard line when an Auburn punt was blocked, Eady t- then advanced the ball to the 7e yard line. The Yellow Jackets g then lost possession of the ball on a an incomplete pass over the goal i line. Th' Red Devils were forced d to punt ami Decatur recovered on e'the 35-yard line. Two passes from s Strickler to Eady made a twenty-] r yard gain and then a pass from' i, i Strickler to Schultzz scored Deca-! e tur's first touchdown of the season, j t Ehinger scored the point after by ] ! a place kick. fj Early in the final period the Yel-' » low Jackets started another march ] t up the field, several runs by Brod- i beck and Eady and a pass from ■ , Strickler to Dickerson putting De ] Jcatur on the Auburn 20-yard line, i After several line bucks they were Jon the 7-yard line. Once again ! 'Strickler passed to Eady who , crossed the line for a score.

It was still too hot for a good football game. We counted two organized yells from the Decatur high school cheering section. The Yellow Jackets got some tough breaks on recovering a couple of Auburn fumbles Another good sized crowd attended Saturday’s game. Next week the Yellow Jackets go to Columbia City. They should come back with the largest score. The locals surely showed some good team work when it came to passing. o Even Series Minneapolis. Sept. 18— (U.R) — Minneapolis and Columbus were even again today in their playoff series for the American Association championship, each with two ; victories. The first game of the ‘ playoff in Nicollet Park yesterday i went to Minneapolis by a 6 to 4 I score. Bill Lee of Columbus and Jess Petty. Minneapolis lefthander, were the starting pitchers.

LEADERS NEAR LEAGUE TITLES Giants And Senators Have Pennants Practically i Clinched i New York, Sept. 18—The New York (Hants and Washington t Senators can clinch the National r and American league pennants to- > day by winning games while sect ond-place clubs lose. t ’ In the National league, the I mathematical probability of the Giants winning has reached vir1 tual certainty. If the Giants beat ■ St. Louis in their one game today. 1 and second-place Pittsburgh loses one end of its double-header to the Phillies. New York will sew up I the pennant. The same holds true if the Giants lose to the Cards, and the Pirates drop both games to the Phils, because the Giants need win only two of their remaining ill games to beat out Pittsburgh ] |if the Pirates win all their 11. I Pittsburgh is the only contender. : following the Chicago Cubs comI plete elimination yesterday. In the American circuit. Wash- ! ington could mail down the pennant by winning today's single contest with the St. Louis j Browns, if the New York Yankees j lost both portions of their twin hill to Chicago. The Senators, with 10 games to go. need win i only three even if the Yanks sweep their 13. . Charlie Grimm’s Cubs, defending champions in the National league, were counted out yesterI day although they took both games ' of a double-header from Brooklyn. When the Giants shaded the [ Cards. 4 to 3. it left New York in a position where the Cubs could 1 not reach a tie even if they won ! their remaining seven games. | Dizzy Dean was the Giants' vic- | tim while St. Louis was celebrat- , ing “Dizzy Dean Day." Bill Ter- • ry's men nicked him for 11 hits | while Parmelee and Luque held [ : the Cards to seven. The Giants - made four runs during the second and third innings, aided by Mel ■ Ott's homer in the third. Lnque's relief pitching featured the game. Chicago beat Brooklyn twice by the identical score. 6 to 5. moving j into a virtual tie for second place I with Pittsburgh. Billy Herman's I single in the eighth drove in the winning run in the opener, and \ Pitcher Pat Malone's sixth-inning I single scored the winning tally I in the nightcap. Cincinnati took two games from I ' Boston. 5 to 2. in the first when , ] Larry Benton held the Braves to | six hits, and 6 to 0 in the second | , when Paul Derringer blanked thei ] Bostonians with four hits. They i i were the only National games ! scheduled. In the American group. Washington beat Detroit. 4 to 3, by coming from behind in the ninth with two runs, leaving the Senators nine and a half games ahead of New York, although the Yanks took two games from Cleveland. 3 to 2. and 6 to 1. Monte Pearson held the Yanks to three hits in , the opener, hut allowed seven walks. In the nightcap. Lefty Gomez limited the Indians to ' three hits. Rnth made a homer in I each game. Bill Dickey made one ' in the second contest, and Earl I Averill of the Indians one in the I opener. Chicago's double-header at Boston. the only other games seined- ] tiled was rained out.

Two days of training since 1 practice started last Friday brought out the tact that there is no topheavy favorite. The gap between the conference leader this year and the tail-end clubs probably will be smaller than in peveral seasons.

LEVINSKY AND SHAB KEY FIGHT Bout Postponed From Friday Night Will Be Held Tonight Chicago, Sept. 18 (U.R" The scheduled 10-round fight between] Jack Sharkey, former heavy weight champion, and King Levin | j sky. of Chicago, postponed Friday i because of Inclement .weather, will be held tonight at Comlskey park. ! Both fighters went through 'i light workouts Saturday and Sunday. Sharßey went to the world s fair Saturday and Levinsky to the race track. If the three-day postponement , affected either fighter. Sharkey probably was more irked than ] | Ijevlnsky. He Is more tempera-, mental than the former Chicago | fish peddbv. who is 10 years younger than the former champion | and trains more easily. Clear skies nnd a temperature ] about near 70 degrees were foreeast for tonight. o ADJUSTERS TO FIX TAX LEVY FOR NEXT YEAR (CTiNTTNUEIV FROM PAGE ONE) i nnd the county commissioners will be hoard. The board has jurisdiction over all tax levies and , budgets and in making reductions must show what fund was cut and | the amount of the reduction. It I* j j believed that the session will con- | tinue at least three days and possibly four, depending largely on ' I the progress made in considering] i every one of the several budgets. . The state of Indiana has offered i I the services of metnbers of the ] ' State Board of Accounts to assist I 1 the Tax Adjustment Boards in the | ■ counties. Chauncey Lautzenheiser ] of Fort Wayne has volunteered to i I come to Decatur if the board calls . ' him. The local board has grasped ; the situation in such a business i like and in'elligent manner that Ino obstacles are anticipated in ] | determining official action by it. . All the rates proposed for next | I year are higher than the onos| ' effective this year. Part of this | increase is due to the drop in tax-| ; able valuations. A year ago the valuation total was 824.229,876.00. [ [ compared with $21,973,133.37, this 1

I year. County Levy 67 Cent* The rate fixed by the county J nnnttal session S- u ' teniher 6 for the county Is 67 centa on the SIOO. an increase of 39 cents over this year's rate., Extra appropriations for old age petislona, the primary and general I I elections and voter's registration' next year, are causes for part of the Increase Last year the coun ! Itv budget was cut to less than , $60,000, despite the fact that It j I cost more Hum SIOO,OOO to operate ] I the government and maintain the ] | several county institutions. To | avoid a further depletion ofi [ county funds, some of the money ] must bo replaced and the budget ; includes a working balance for next year.
