BERNE BEATS JACKETS FOR SECOND TIME Decatur Loses To Bears At Berne Thursday, 9 To 6 A bad hop of Beltler's grounder in the fourth inning proved the margin of victory yesterday afternoon on the Berne diamond, when the fiears handed the Decatur Yellow Jackets another defeat, 9-6. Although being outhit 74. the Jackets bunched blows to run Burry from the mound in the third inning and found Dro's hurling less puzzling than in the first tilt with the Bears. Zimmerman looked his best "for the locals thus far this season. The Jackets big inning occurred in the second when they knocked Burry out of the box. and McConnell followed up by cracking out a sharp single to greet Dro on the

Baseball Tourney Is Held Thursday The annual Kirkland and Preble township baseball tournament was held at the Barger school Thursday. A pot luck dinner was held during the noon hour. Magley School of Preble township ( defeated the Barger school In the final game. Other schools participating were Smith, Diehl, Election and Howel - . Miss Wilma Andrews k, teacher at the Magley school, win- 1 hit of the tournament. a — ♦ Today’s Sport Parade (By Hanry New York, Apr. 30.— <U.R) —My mind, which has been in hlber-; nation since the first snowfall of last winter, finally awoke today and its first bit of business was to decide that Burlegh Grimes is fast going the way of all Brooklyn imdger managers. That is. Burleigh is keeping busy 24 hours a day making his person ality. his actions, more important than the personality and the actions of his bal Iclub. In doing this he is only following the naved I highway of precedent. Wilbert Robinson —"Uncle Robbie” —did it with his kindly, lovable eccentricites. Casey Stengel did it with his rubber face and Jimmy Durante i ish subtleties. And now Grimes is | doing it with his Don Quixote like rushes into the windmills that are the umpires. '*ll A tough guy as a player, a | tougher guy as a minor league : manager, he apparently -wants to establish himself as the toughest guy in the majors. The baseball season is not yet two weeks old. and the Dodgers have played only seven games, but already Grimes has been chased from the park on two occasions. And only yesterday he was hailed up on the red carpet before president Ford Frick i of the National league for a viola-: tion of the Abner Doubleday code. The umpires, it appears, don't

suit him. His is the only true eye,! his judgment the only sound judg ment. So he has made the sane-1 tuarles of the peanut and the hot - dog resound with his bellows of rage, thrashed the bright clean air with his paws, and jutted his blue chin to the last jut. And for what? This was the second question my recently aroused mind tackled And it came up with this conclus ion: For nothing! Some may disagree with my, tnlnd. In fact, some may argue, that I haven't one. 1 have heard I it said by some astute baseball i critics that Grimes, by always' fighting with the umplies, inspires' his team with the knowledge that he —their manager—is ever ready to take up the cudgels in their de-! sense. This doesn't add up. Managers ' never win fights with umpires, and after Grimes has lost seven or eight in a row it is bound to give his charges a defeatist complex. They are apt to begin saying something like this fchen Burleigh rushes forth to do battle: "There goes the old man to take! another licking. Doesn't he ever win one?" I have hear dother critics say I that baseball customers relish a'
