Yellow Jackets Held To Scoreless Tie In Opend

C.C. BATTLES DECATUR TEAM TO 0-0 SCORE Yellow Jackets Fail I o Grab Only Scoring Chance Os Game Tim Decatur Yellow Jackets, playing their first game of the 1955 season, were held Io a scoreless lie by a band of inexperienced hut hard lighting Irish from Central Catholic of Fort Wayne Thursday afternoon at Worthman Held. The Jackets outgained their smaller opponents but lacked the punch to shove the pigskin across the goal In the third quarter, the only time during the game that either team threatened to score. Gulping possession of the bail on their own 46-yard line early in the third I'riod. the Yellow Jackets staged the only sustained drive of the game, mixing line bucks, ofttackle smashes and end runs to carry the ball to the Central Catholic 4-yard line for first down and goal to go. Three cracks at the line placed the ball within inches of a touchdown but on the final try. a fumblef gave possession of the ball to the Irish, who immediately kicked oat of danger. Central Catholic failed to advance within the Decatur 25 yard line at any time during the game. The Irish breached the Jackets' 36-yard line once in the first quarter and in the closing minutes of the game advanced to the 25-yard line. In this fourth quarter, Central Catholic recovered a Decatur , fumble on the Fort Wayne 35-yard line. With the aid of 25-yard forward pass, ruled complete because of interference, the Irish reached the 25-yard line. Two plays failed to gain and the Decatur secondary batted down passes on the third and fourth downs. While disappointing followers in failing to score a victory Thursday. the Yellow Jackets showed a team, heavier man for man. than the 1934 undefeated conference champions, and give promise of showing any team in this section of the state a rough four quarters of football.

CARDINALS ADD i TO LEAGUE LEAD ■ • Three T earns Closely Bunched: Tigers Are Far Ahead New York, Sept. 6. <U.R>— With three teams very much in the running for the National league pennant. the Detroit Tigers have reduced the American race to a point where the second-place New York Yankees have only a mathematical chance of winning. The Tigers can win by playing only .481 baseball during the remainder of the season, even it the Yankees travel at a .759 clip. The Tigers are nine games in the lead. Os their remaining 27 games, the Tigers need to win only 13 to win a pennant, while the Yankees, even if they win 22 and lose seven, still will fall a game short. In the National league, however, the teams are putting on a fight reminiscent of last year to determine Detroit's world series opponent. Toda}- it looks like it might be the St. Louis Cardinals, the madcap bunch who defeated the Tigers in 1934. Sunday, tae Chicagtf Cubs or New York Giants may look like winners. That’s how close the race is and probably will be until the last days of the season. The Cardinals ride three games ahead of the Giants and 2% in front of the Cubs. The Giants are second in percentage. The Cubs are closer to the top in games, but not in percentage, because they have played more and lost more than New Y’ork. Os the three, the Cards seem to have the best chance to win. They have 26 games to play, compared to 28 for the Giants and 21 for the Cubs. They fop New York by four games in the victory column and have lost two less. The Cubs with 81 victories, are even on that side , with the Cards but they have lost

. five more. For the Giants, the present western campaign is going to decide their chances. Results of the first two days of the campaign have demonstrated that they can't exI pect much aid from their eastern 1 co-workers. In seven games played on the current invasion the east I lias won only one —New York’s vic- * tory Monday over Cincinnati. | Yesterday the west made a clean sweep. Cincinnati defeated the Giants. 4-1. to send the Cardinals another game ahead of New York. The Cardinals waloped Boston, 153. and the Cubs kept pace by halting Philadelphia. 3-2 in 11 innings. Frank Demaree's single with ths bases loaded drove in the winning run. Pittsburgh defeated Brooklyn, 5-4. Cleveland and Boston split in the only American league games. The others were rained out. Cleveland won the first. S-l. and lost the : second. 6-1. | Yesterday’s hero; Alex Kam-' pouris of the Cincinnati Reds, whose triple in the sixth with two out and the bases loaded drove in three runs to defeat the Giants. o Motorcycle Races At Marion Sunday Local motor, ycle rid-rs are making arrangements to attend the national eharpfonship tourist trophy motorcycle rac s at Marion, Indiana Sunday.
