STARS LINEUP HARD TO PICK Noble Kizer Having Difficulty Picking A Starting Lineup Chicago, Aug. 28—(U.R) —The futility of picking an all-American football team from the country at large is strikingly Illustrated in the camp of the all-star college squad which meets the Chicago Bears, professional champions, at Soldier Field Friday night. Head Coach Noble Kizer, Purdue. is finding it extremely difficult to pick the 11 best men from a squad of 35 to start the game. This is especially true among the backs. "Out of our 14 backs." commented Kizer, "there is not a great (Jeal of difference between the top two or three and those who rank lowest on their work in practice. [ And then some of those who haven’t shown. to advantage in practice might be just the ones to star in a game." On their work in practice the ' following players appear to be outstanding: Best defensive lineman —Chuck Bernard. Michigan, center. Best defensive back—Mike MikFrom Cooled by Washed Air - Last Time Tonight - “MANHATTAN MELODRAMA” With CLARK GABLE. MYRNA LOY. Wni. POWELL. One of the BEST Pictures Ever Made!

Lukats wasn’t picked on any | all-American teams last fall, but Ihe has proved in practice that ■ there isn’t a back on the squad 1 who can do as many things as | competently as he can. He can • run. plunge, block, tackle, punt ! and pass. There are other backs I a trifle better at some of these, I but none can match him for versatality. Another player who has shown to advantage in practice is Dave [ Cook, Illinois halfback who never ' did much during Lis varsity career | but who promises to be a star in I professional football. Those who I have tackled him say he hits as hard as any man on the squad. He ’ will join the Chicago Cardinals I after Friday’s game. o — LEADING BATTERS Player Club GAB R H Pct. j P.

[FLORISTS ARE BEST RIDERS Floral Company Team Out-Jockeys G.E. Team In Donkey Game With hundreds of spectators in attendance, donkey baseball was introduced to Decatur Monday night, with the Decatur Floral company softball team outriding the General Electric company team, 2 to 1. The South Ward diamond was completely enclosed with a canvas, and the park was well tilled, with many of the spectators standing along the edges of the outtleld. The donkeys will cavort on the local field again tonight, with the Cloverleaf Creamery and City Confectionery teams attempting to guide the donkeys in the right direction. The fans apparently got a big kick out of the efforts of the local players to ride the donkeys in the proper direction. One of the donkeys, appropriately named “Dizzy Dean,” lived up to the reputation of his namesake, as during the enl tire game, none of the players was able successfully to ride the stubborn one to first base. Cloverleaf Wins In a regularly scheduled city league game played as a preliminary to the donkey game, the Cloverleaf team defeated the Schafer Hardware team. 5 to 3.. The winners obtained 11 hits and the losers five. The creamery scored once in the third on a hit and an error and the final three runs in the fifth on four hits and a pair of errors. Schafer scored all three runs in the fifth on three hits, an error and a fielder’s choice. Schafer .. 000 030 o—3 5 6 Cloverleaf 011 030 x—s 11 3 Everhart and Munphy; Wynn and J. Hill. The Moose and Decatur Floral company teams will meet in a league game at 7 o’clock tonight, followed by the donkey game. STANDINGS | AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L.

Johnson’s fre- ! quent complaints that he could not ' afford to sacrifice his private business earning capacity for govern- ' ment service have won him a pay i boost from J 6.000 to $15,000 a year I as NRA administrator. Recovery administration officials ■ I revealed today that Johnson’s sal-1 i ary was Increased July 1 by order ■ of President Roosevelt. Johnson repeatedly has remark- 1 led upon the comparatively small I salary he received from the govern-I 1 ment and predicted that when he ' ’ returned to iprivate business he i would “earn SIOO,OOO a year again.” j The President's action was regarded as additional evidence of his desire to have Johnson con- ; tinue to administer the recovery ■ organizaztion throughout its transi itory period and while legislation I is being drafted for whatever form of business control succeeds NRA next June.

Thc NEW McCormick-Deering Spreader Features an ALL-STEEL Box ur > ’ y Sr ~,,M - w ' T -4— THE new McCormick-Deering No. 4-A all-steel spreadet is convenient, low to the ground, simple, and compact. It features a galvanized, rust-resisting, copperized, nonwarping, heavy-gauge steel box of 60 to 70-bushel capacity. Eight roller bearings and Zerk lubrication, combined with perfect alignment of ail parts, make this new all-steel spreader unusually light in draft. Two horses can haul capacity loads in it all day long. Five spreading speeds are provided, permitting the use of just the right amount of manure at all times. The manure is torn and shredded by a saw-tooth upper beater, a spike-tooth lower beater, and a wide-spread spiral before it is spread in an even layer over the soil. A special endgate can be provided for use when liquid manure is to be hauled. A brake is available as special equipment. Also, there is a lime-spreading attachment which changes the No. 4-A into an efficient lime spreader. See this new all-steel spreader at our store at your opportunity.

BABE RUTH WINS! GAME FOR YANKSi Doubles As Pinch-Hitter To Beat Chicago By 3-2 Score New York, Aug 28 - (U.R) — Those doughty souls, the New | York Yankees, keep winning, but they don’t get anywhere. When they came home they were four anti a half games behind (he Tigers. They have won eleven of the last sixteen gameSi - nine of the last twelve. The latter Is .750 baseball, bl,t ~” 'y j st 111 are four and a half games behind. Yesterday they spent a grue-, some afternoon, watching the scoreboard in right Centerfield between plays with the Chicago ( White Sox. Every time a Yankee would catch a ball, he would turn i to g’ance at the big board It be-• came a sort of fixation. The fig-j ores after "Detroit" kept getting bigger, and after "Philadelphia" there were only round holes. It got so the Yanks were forget- \ ting about their own score. But | finally, when the Yanks got to be a run behind. Herr Ruth, who fs a j realist, hoisted himself from the: bench, knocked one against the, right field hackboard and Hoag and Jorgens shuttled home. The) Yanks won, 3-2. Meanwhile, the Detroiters had been doing the customary thing.! Taking advantage of Tony Cascarella’s generosity thev won. 11-0. behind Tommy Bridge’s five-hit pitching. Cleveland whipped the Boston, Red Sox. 6-5. extending their hold , on third place to two and a half games over the Sox. Willie Kamm scored the winner, doubling off the right field wall and going home on Berg’s fly. Washington broke the fifth- • place tie with St. Louis, defeating the Brownies 6-1.
