INDIAN ROOKIE BREAKS RECORD BY FANNING 17 Sets .American League Record; Ties Dean’s National Mark New York. Sept. 14 — (U.R) — Three big league baseball records were scrapped today — pitching, slugging, and attendance marks going into thr discard. Most sensational of the three performances vae 17-year-old Bob Feller's striking out 17 men. The Cleveland Indian rookie topped by two Rube Waddell's record of 15 which lias stood in the American • league for 28 years, and tled the major league record of 17 set by Dizzy Dean in 1933. The New York Yankees blasted out efght home runs againet the St. Ixuiis Browns to run their season total to 175. which eclipsed the major league mark of 173 set in 1932. Tile National league at tendance record went into the scrap heap when 64.417 spectators storme the Polo grounds to see the Giants ami St. Louis Cardinals divide a double bill. Feller, former Van Meter. lowa, schoolboy who startled the lsi.seball world when he made his major league debut Aug. 23 and fanned 15 batsmen to tie Waddell's mark, showed that hie initial performance was not a ' flash in the pa,n" when he came back Day to strike out 10, but yesterday's achievement assured him of a lasting place in baseball's hall of fame. Feller struck out at least one hatter in every tuning except the fourth and he retired the side on strikes alone in the first and sixth as the Indians whipped the Philadelphia Athletics. 5 to 2. in the first game of a double-header. The sensational rookie, however, fe still pretty wild. He gave up only two hits hut allowed nine bases on balls ami permitted five stolen bases. He fanned Ludy three times. Bob Johnson, Frank Higgins. Frankie Hayes ami Randall Gumpert twice each. Every member of the Athletics team heard the umpire bawl "strike three, yer out" at least one time. Hal Trosky’s 38th homer of the year came in the eighth inning of the nightcap with two men on base to give the Indians the second half. 5 to 4. and put them in a fourth place tie with the Detroit Tigers, who were licked. 7 to 4, by the Boston Red Sox. r The Yankees staged their home run parade in St. Louis and took the measure of the Brownies twice, ID to .7 and 13 to 1. Rookie Joe Di Maggio hit for the circuit three times. Lou Gehrig and Jake Powell twice each ajid Bob Seeds rang the bell once. The second one was Gehrig’s 48th of the year. Police estimated that more than 40.0(M> were turned away as the record crowd collected on the banks of tne Harlem river to see pill Terry's men maintain their National league lead of 3% games over the Cards. The Giants took the opener, 8 to 4. but due to Dizzy Dean's fine relief hurling in the nightcap, succuinber. 4 to 3. It was Johnny Mize's four bagger with two aboard that gave the Cards a split. All the National league clubs li■vived the twin matinees. The Chicago Cubs missed another golaen opportunity to gain in the race by falling, 6 to 3, in the opener against the Dodgers. They won the second, 9to 7. Gene Schott hurled three-hit ball for the Cincinnati Reds to whip the Boston Bees. 2 to 1. but the beantowners grabbed the finale. 6 to 1, behind Danny Magfayden's six-hit pitching. Pittsburgh's Pirates won the first from the Philadelphia Phillies, 5 to 3, then lost, 4 to 3. Yesterday’s hero; Bob Feller. Cleveland Indian rookie. who struck out 17 men to break a 28-year-old American league record tuid tie the major league mark. —■ o Adams County Horses Winners At Van Wert Horses owned by Adams county men were awarded sprizes at the] fair held last week at Van Wert, Ohio. The Belgian stallion owned hy Archie Smitley was adjudged champion and grand champion. Mrs. Smitley’s yearling filly also won first place in her class.

Intensely bitter in the earlier years, this rivalry has developed, in recent years, into one of a friendly, though heated, nature. A Decatur victory over Bluffton is always a sweet morsel for local players, coaches and fans. And the reverse is true in the Parlor City. Yet, despite this great rivalry, splendid sportsmanship is evidenced when teams from these two schools meet. Great rivals, and stii? great friends. —oOo — The approximate strength of the 1936 edition of the Yellow Jackets is yet to be determined. For the past two years, champions of the northeastern Indiana conference, the Jackets were hard hit by graduation last spring. Five regulars are available from 1 last yt-ar's championship eleven. These men, under the direction of • Coach Andrews and assistant coach Dorwin, have been working daily ■ to whip together another splendid i team to represent Decatur. In ad- ■ dition, several of last season’s reserves have shown splendid improvement. as well as a number of newcomers. —oOo—- ' Bluffton will have a decided advantage over the Yellow Jackets ■ for Friday night’s tilt.

BURNS FATAL TO PURDUE PLAYER, OTHERS INJURED Shower Room Explosion Takes Life Os Purdue Football Star laifayette, Ind . Sept 14—<U.R> Purdue's 1935 football hopes were I staggered today by a tragic shower room explosion that took the lif»*: of a veteran lineman and disabled i five other players for an indefinite ■ portion of the big 10 season. The taster virtually wrecked a Boilermaker varsity Coach Noble Kizer already had admitted lacked, the reserve strength to drive | through a stormy eight game schedule. Carl E. Dahlbeck, 25, outstand ' Ing senior guard from Lyndonville. Vt., died of burns he received in the explosion Saturday.

"I cannot begin to consider how our i future football plans will be at j fected." Dahlbeck. McGannon. Drake and Decker were considered regulars, j Drake, burned on (he left foot and leg, probably will be released from the hospital Tuesday, but Decker and McGannon both were reported In serious condition. The blast first atarted when fumes from gasoline used to remove bandages after practice reached a small heating stove in the shower room. A section of the floor on which the six were stand ing was swept by flames. Dahlbeck and several others fell on the slippery floor as they dashed for the door and were burned seriously After three days' practice, Kizer had assembled a strong varsity eleven with a quick witted backfield that could ffiSle Purdue a > threat in the conference if injuries could be avoided. .McGannon, still in serious condition from foot and leg burns, and Decker may be out the entire seasou. For the opener with powerful Ohio University Sept. 26. Kizer will have a skeleton backfield available with Cecil Isbell, versatile running and passing star, carrying the full load of attack.
