United Brethren Softball Team Wins Church League Crown

Errors In Sixth Sink St?i Mary’s Title Ambitions

Final Church Game Attracts Largest Crowd Os Summer Season, Friday G. E., FOUNDRY MEETI I ■ The United Brethren softhall team, first half winnens in the 1 city church softball league won the 1936 title last night by defeating St. Majys in a close and exciting battle. - Trailing St. Marys for the first five innings, U. B. unleashed an attack which aided by poor fieldIfig on the part of St. Marys, established the margin of victory. This was the second and deciding game in the series between the V. B. team, first half winner and St. Marys, who won the second half title earlier in the week. But for the bad sixth inning on the part.of St. Marys, the story might have been different. St. | Marys committed five arrors during the game, four coming in the bad sixth. U. 8., first up to bat. opened the ball game before probably the largest and most interested crowd of the season. A single by V. Andres was all th eaetion provided. St. Marya went down in one, two. three order in their half of the first. In the second inning, a triple by Lytle, a walk and a fielder’s

choice still failed to provide any I scoring for U. B. St. Marys, how-I ever, drew Hint blood when a i double by W. Baker and singles • by P. Baker and Mylott drove in j one run. I St. Marys again scored one run iin each the fourth and fifth in'nings, on singles by P. Baker J Mylott and Daniels, and a. double by Bob Andrews, couplbd with two walks. Meanwhile U. B. was held scoreless. Bloody Sixth With U. B. fans ready to throw in the sponge, up came the big ( sixth. R. Jackson went to first , . on a seemingly harmless base on j. balls. Then came the fireworks. ( Lytle singled. Jarkson going to ( second. Three overthrows to base- ( men in an effort to get either Lytle or Jackson, let Lytle travel the bases, going all the wav home. j Two more singles by R. Fuhr- , man and Wynn, with another er-1, ror before the side was retired j, accounted for the four runs. j, That ended the scoring for the < game. But an extra, thrill came t in the last of the seventh. With I C. Omlor on base for St. Marys, two out and the crowd begging for ; a hit. D. Hess poled one out to 11 right field, back against the fence, i Fuhrman made a spectacular i catch, but a handful of St. Marys i rooters remained in their seats, thinking a hit had been scored. After the crowd cleared away, it i was discovered that Fuhrman , still held the ball. t V. Andrews, the winning pitcher j < allowed but eight well scattered . < hits to the losers, and issued only I two free passes, striking out two I < opposing bailsmen. j’ Let Down Pitcher I I Bob Andrews, for the losers, de-1 1 served better treatment than hel received. While allowing U. B. I 12 hits, he had them well under? control until the avalanche ofj ( errors by his teammates in the I sixth. He struck out four and ? walked four. Summary: RHE 1 U.

JACKETS HAVE PROSPECTS OF i GOOD SEASON Business Men, Store Owners May Witness Foot-, ball (James Now Plans for the huge lights to be I installed at Worthman Field for night football, are progressing rapidly, according to all reports. Decatur business men and store clerks, Some of whom make up the most loyal Yellow Jacket fans, will for the first time have an opportunity to witness their favorite sport, without closing or neglecting their business for half a day. Equipment for the lighting system has been ordered and will be installed within two or three week.s installation being held until all parts are in order. Installation has also been slowed to permit the baseball season to close. One side of the lights will be placed in the middle of the baseball playing field, but will be set in such away to insure safe removal at the end of each football season, without impairing either the lights or the baseball diamond. Cooperation of the city was assur-1 ed in this matter by Martin J. My-1 lott. city light superintendent. The lighting system which will be installed here is one of the I most modern and complete in the ' state, having several more lights j than the equipments of many sur- i rounding cities. Current Free The city will furnish the poles, l wiring and transformers and will j do all installation work, in addi-' tion to furnishing the current without charge. All equipment installed will be new. Much larger crowds are expected to attend the games this year, with the innovation of T7fe night j game, enabling many to attend at ; night, who would be unable to see | the game during (He day. The fans will see their first night game in Decatur on September 18. three weeks from next Friday when ! the Jackets clash with the arch enemy. Bluffton. The remainder -of the schedule as announced several days ago. is subject to change, since night games are available. Start Intensive Training After a week of drills, fundamentals. and limbering-up exercises. the Yellow Jackets will open j intensive training Monday for their • opening game, but three weeks a-, way. Practice will be held twicedaily starting next week, and scrimmage practice is also scheduled to be opened early in the week. Prospects for a championship team, to defend the title, won in the past two years under the tutelage of Hugh Andrews, appear very favorable with all candidates in good physical condition. Several promising underclassmen have been discovered to take the places left by graduation of eight lettermen from the 1936 squad. o *- Birthdays Come In Pairs Martins Ferry. O.
