Sept. 21. — <UJO~ It wag all over but the shouting in the race for the National league championship today as the Giants continued their victory surge, and thousands of New York fans were oiling up their lungs for an outburst of world .series hysteria. Experts of psychology calculated the effect upon the annual baseball festival of the Giants’ rousing march right up to the finish and the easy slide of the Yankees into the world championship with their own pennant long since clinched. The Giant*. If they win the title, wiii come into the series still in a fighting mood and imbued with a winning spirit that may carry them right through to the world title. On the other hand.

TENNIS CHAMPS | RETAIN CROWN Parrish And Townsend Retain Tennis Doubles Title Ron Parrish ami Bud Townsend. 1935 doubles champions, had an ! easy time in winning the 1936 title in the finals of the Junior Chamber of Commerce tennis tourney Sun--1 day afterooii, when they defeated Paul Handler and Bun Affolder in straight sets. A strong wind keeping down the usual number of smashing forehand drives, the last year’s champ- ! ions contented themselves with : rushing to the net and placing shots near the baselines, easily winning the first set, 6-3. Rancher and Affolder made their only serious bid for the title in the second set. when they forced the champions to 12 games, Parrish and Townsend finally coming through to win 7-5. The third set was only a repetition of the first, the winners crashing through to an easy 6 3 win. making the final match score, 6-3, 7-5, 6-3. The title was Townsend’s second of the tournament, but having won the singles last Sunday from Parrish. after both favorites won their way to the finals. Wit "the final competition of yesterday. the winners of the Chamber oT Commerce trophies for 1936 are: doubles. Pai’rish and Townsend; nem’s singles, Townsend and women’s singles. Pauline Affolder. Presentation of the trophies, awarded annually by the junior organization. was postponed until later in the week, a definite date to be announced soon. Winners in the singles this year secured their first legs on the respective trophies. As three wins are needed to gain permanent possession, the doubles champs need only one more title victory to clinch their trophy. The winners of all divisions will have their names inscribed on their respective cups, and will be allowled to retain the trophies until next year's tournaments, w i I*-—-With Decaturs first night game a matter of history, the Yellow Jackets started work today for their second game of the season. —o()o — The Jackets will meet the Auburn Red Devils at Auburn Saturday • afternoon. Auburn has lost two games «o far this season, suffering defeats from North Side of Fort Wayne and Columbia City. —oOo— The Yellow Jackets’ victory over the Bluffton Tigers Friday night was a well deserved triumph. Decatur outplayed the arch rivals from the Parlor City in ail departments of the game, with one exIception. Kain, Bluffton fullback with three years’ experience, had a slight edge in the kicking department, although Death showed weil for his first game as a regular. The big crowd which attended the game, the first night contest in the city’s history, was well pleased with the new lighting system which transformed Worthman Field into veritable daylight. The new field it? one of the best lightled in northeastern Indiana. Decatur’s line was well nigh impregnable. Bluffton registered only one first down, the first three plays of the second half giving the Tigers the necessary yardage for the only time during the battle. —oOo— Only Kain’s edge in kicking kept the D?catpr score from mounting higher. McConnell of Decatur and Kinsey of Bluffton thrilled the spectators several times with clever returns of punts. The best run of the game was Friedt’s slash off tackle for 47 yards and an apparent touchdown early in the first quarter. The score was lost, however, when a Yellow Jacket, over anxious for the touchdown, was caught clipping. and the ball was taken back to the 30-yard line. oOo — Decatur lost another touchdown through a penalty in the closing minutes of the game. Hurst intercepted a Bluffton pass on the visitors’ 26-yard line. Hurst then [ tossed a long pass to Smith in the end zone but the play was null!- ■ fled because of an offside penalty. —oOo— The only sustained offensive drive of the game w r as staged bv i

the Yellow Jackets in the fourth quarter. Taking the ball on downs on their own 37-yard line, the Jackets drove through the line and oft’ tackle for two first downs. Penalties of 5 and 15 yards, how ever, halted this drive. —oOo— Playing the Decatur-Bluffton game early in the season is a real break for the fans of both cities. [ In previous years, the game has been the final tilt of the season for both teams. As a result, many of 1 these feature games have been played under weather conditions highly unpleasant for the fans. Friday night was ideal for foot-1 ball, just cool enough that a top coat would have been very comfortable. College football will get underway Saturday in most sections of the nation. A few teams saw action last week-end, aithougli no major games were contested. Several of the country’s leading teams will swing into action this Saturday. with the rest opening the following Saturday. October 3. o Purdue Eootball Player Improved — Lafayette. Ind..
