DECATUR AND GARRETT TEAM I PLAY 6-6 TIE Yellow Jackets And Railroaders Play to Tie Here Saturday The Decatur Yellow Jackets battled the strong Garrett team to a 6 to 6 tie in a hard fought game Satuiday afternoon. With a change j in the local line-up the Decatur team displayed their best football j playing of this season. The Garrett team was much [ heavier than the Yellow Jackets • but was unable to gain much terri- 11 tory through the local line. Decatur made a total of 116 yards through the line to Garrett's total of 62 yards. Garrett started the first quarter of the game with a rueh of end runs led by Flake. They gained almost 40 yards of territory before the Yellow Jacket** stopped the attack. The locals then started an attack which took them to the Gar- 1 rett 40 yard line. A pass from Strickler'to Eady made a gain of 1 25 yards just before the quarter ended. With the goal line just 15 yards 1 away, Decatur plowed through the Garrett line for a touchdown.

HUBBELL WILL PITCH OPENER Bill Terry ‘Names Ace Left-Hander to Hurl Opening (lame New York. Oct. 2 —(U.R) Bill Terry's definite announcement l that he would slart his ace pltch- , er. Cnrl Hubbell, In the opening t \ game, failed to budge the world • I series betting odds today which i made Washington Senators 10 'o I 7 favorites over the New York • i Giants. Even Terry’s implication that ’ ' he might call upon the lean Ok- , ; lahotna screw ball star as many - ' as three times failed to shake the 1 faith of the odd makers. The I Giants wore 10 to 7 favorites to I capture the opening game at the i I Polo grounds tomorrow, indicating I the awe in which baseball’s curi rent greatest pitcher is held. i Washington has a fighting team. : but the power and drive that brought the Giants, a club almost i universally tagged for the second | division, into the National league ( championship, seem to this writer ' to he enough to push them safely through the series. Today’s one major development | in the world series situation was i the start of single-game tickets. ! Anybody with $5.50 wanting a reI served grandstand seat may get I a coupon for the first or second I game. This is important to the club which needs world series cash if | season financial figures are to be j written In black ink. and just as \ important to the players who “cut i in" on the receipts of the first i four games. While the players were goifig | i through their final huddles and ! brief workouts, baseball fandom I began in earnest to discuss series ' possibilities. And for all the fact ! the Senators were favorites, there ' were plenty of Giant enthusiasts. Ono of the least of these is the writer who is not only willing but ' anxious to climb way out on a limb and predict a New York vic- ! tory in a seven-game series. It's perfectly true that Wash- ! ington is supposed to have a bet- . ter infield, three votes to one. and ' a better outfield. 2 to 1. Its true that Washington's batting averages clearly outrank those of the New Yorkers. ' Offsetting these advantages is he fact that New I'York's pitching, solely because of Hubhell's superiority over Crowd , er. Whitehill or any of the other Washington flingers. But for a well-rounded club, Washington seems to be it. STANDINGS FINAL STANDINGS American League W. L.

YOUNG FIGHTER BADLY INJURED Young Stribling Loses Left Foot In Accident Sunday Night Macon, Ga., O t. 2. (U P) IYoung) Stribling, his ring <«• i-reer definitely ended by a motor accident, was in a serious condl- 1 tlon today in a I >< al hospital. The heavyweight's left foot was (cut off by the fender of an automobile that sideawlped the motor- : cycle upon which he was riding i lust night. His entire left leg was , crushed and his pelvic bone was shattered. Stribling remained conscious. A few hours after an emergency op ! eratlon at a hospital, he chatted 1 cheerfully with his wife. Stribling showed improvement i today and hospital authorities re-1 ported his general condition "bet-; ter." He spent a fairly good night, it was said. Stribling started winning ring i fame as a Georgia high school hoy; !of 16. He was nearly 29 years f old when yesterday's accident; j ended his career. He reached his, l peak two years ago when he fought the then world's heafy- : weight champion. Max Sc hmeling. | and lost in the 15lh round on a 1 technical knockout. Stribling's splendid physical ; condition and quick first aid by a trained nurse who happened to , be passing by the scene of the wreck are believed to have saved I his life. Stribling was returning from the ■ Idle Hour Golf Club. An automo 1 , bile driven by R. V. Johnson I swerved to avoid hitting another machine and swideswtped Strib i ling's motorcycle. Miss France? Jones and Roy Barrow rode by in another auto--1 mobile. Miss Jones, a trained nurse, wore a georgette shawl i made it into a tourniquet to l
