Decatur sports fans are in for a I real treat next Monday and TuesI day nights, August 27 and 28. On I those two night, America's latest j "ad, donkey baseball, will be play- ; ed at the South Ward diamond on Winchester street. j This treat of playing softball j while riding the donkeys has been sweeping the country by storm in the last few months. A series of (games was played recently at Fort I Wayne and fans there are reportjed to have gone “goofy” over the sport. I In fact, the unusual spectacle ( went over so big that Ralph Miller, i former major league baseball star I and ex-professional basketball play - er, recently purchased a string of 14 softball-minded donkeys. Many towns and cities in this i section of the country had put on i the exhibition and it is reported going big every place where played. While the fans may not know the donkeys, the exhibitions will have a tinge of local color, as the two teams who will play the game and | ride the animals will be selected (from Decatur players. Additional facts concerning the contests will be announced later this week. 0 _ Dizzy Dean Back On Card Roster St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 21. —(U.R> — | Dizzy Dean and the St. Louis Card I inals were back on common ground today, but not on quite such a happy 1 1 footing as the management and the 1 ! fans might desire. | There was no general round of forgive-and-forget handshaking in ; the twilight of yesterday when . baseball's commissioner. K. M. Landis, ruled 100 per cent against Dizzy in his week-long strike. Dean was sore and sour. He admitted that some of the things he had done were wrong, and he was sorry, but throughout a heated four-hour hearing he battled the management like a slugging tioxer, toe-to-toe. 0- - ROOSEVELT TO ATTEND RAINEY FUNERAL RITES (CONTINUED FROM raGE ONE) ington three days.

The money truck guards, John ■ Wilson and William Lillienthal, left their machine, with John Alien.! driver, at the wheel, and entered i the plant to deliver a payroll. The bandits missed approximate- ’ ly $100,006 in their haste. ’ji As the guards reappeared the , i bandit leader apparently gave a, signal. ~ The men near the pushcart,, sprang into action, whipped back the cover over the cart and expos-! ■ed a machine gun. Its blunt, glist-■ I ening nose swung around toward the guards. Two other men standing nearby leaped upon the guards and disarmed them. Still another pair of bandits pointed pistols at the driver of the truck. Directed by curt commands backed by the machine gun and pistols, the guards were bustled into their own truck. The bandits forced them to hand over the cash in the truck —except for the sum whJtjfr ’hey overlooked —and then ran from truck to their, own automobiles parked nearby. They dropped their machine gun ’ as they flea from the truck. .Most
