PORTLAND NINE BEATS JACKETS MONDAY, 12-3 Panthers P o u n d Out Nine Hits To Trounce Yellow Jackets Decaturs Yellow Jackets failed to snap their extended losing streak Monday afternoon at Worthman Field, when they fell before the powerhouse hitting of the Portland Panthers. 12-3. Lusty clouting of McConnell and Schnepp. with a pair of •‘circus" catches by Bleeke and Stapleton still wasn’t enough to keep the Panthers front • garnering 13 runs on but nine hits. Schnepp had a perfect day at the plate with three singles in as many times up. McConnell banged out a double and two singles in four times up. Worthman’s single completed the base-hitting for the locals. Hoffman pitched until the last of the fifth for the Jackets, with Zimmerman relieving him on the mound. F. Hartzell and Estar did the hurling for the Panthers. Play Here Wednesday The Jackets will meet the Hartford City Airedales at Worthman Field here Wednesday afternoon, weather permitting. The game was originally scheduled away from home, but moved here because ofj wet grounds at the Airedales' | diamond. The locals play their I third encounter Friday meeting

Put this question to ten of your friends who drive: "When you are going 40 miles an hour on a dry, ievei road, what is the shortest distance in which you can bring your car to a full stop?" If they are average, seven will say they can stop in 40 feet or less; two will guess somewhere between 40 and 80 feet: and one will be so uncertain that he won’t haiard a guess It is surprising to discover how little the average man knows about the first principle of good driving. You can assure your friends that if they do stop their cars in less than 40 feet from a speed of 40 miles an hour, it will be because they have rammed into a brick wall or a telephone pole’ Only an automobile with very good brakes can stop in less than 80 feet from this speed, and it is impossible for any car to

stop tn 50 feet on an ordinary road because it will skid farther than that with all four wheels locked. The pictorial chart above show* the danger of driving at high speeds At 55 miles per hour a car travel! 81 feet in the single second during which the driver's eyes might leave the road to glance at a road sign ot to look at an instrument on. th< dashboard. Once be sees a danger ous situation ahead, the car travels 59 feet during the time it takes him to get his foot from the acceieratoi to the brake. And then, even with good brakes, he cannot bring the vehicle to a stop In less than 10l feet Many drivers pride themselves on how fast they can make their cars go; it is much more important for them to know bow fast they can stop.

TIGERS BOOST | LEAGUE MARGIN Greenberg’ Hits Homer; Intersectional Games Are Started New York. May I - XU.F> Int«r-1 sectional warfare opens in the J majors today with the eastern half of the American league campaigning in the west and the western ■ half ot the National league in the east. After the next 20 days of intersectional combat It will be possible to get a fairly comprehensive line on where the strength lies in the two circuits Right now the Pirates and Cards are setting the pace In the National league, but their lofty standing has been largely due to the poor start of the Cin- ‘ cinnati Reds, who’ve lost 8 out of 1 9 games. The Pirates and Cards have each won seven games, four apiece from the Reds. Detroit leads the American lea ' gue. principally because of four vtdbriea over th’e Chicago White j Sox. The Yankee* are in second : place because they’ve won three of their six over the Red Sox. Interest in today s program cent-’ ers at Detroit, where first place will be at stake in a three-game series between the Tigers and Yanks. Lefty Gomez. Yanks' southpaw who has won one game and lost one. and Eldon Auker. 1 who won his first start and then lost his next two, were slated to pitch. The complete schedule follows: American League New York at Detroit. Washington at Cleveland. Boston at St. Louis. Philadelphia at Chicago. National League Pittsburgh at Brooklyn. St. Louis at Boston. Cincinati at New York. Chicago at Philadelphia. Detroit increased its lead over the Yanks to a full game by defeating the White Sox. 12-9, in ' the only American league game yesterday. It was the Tigers’ fourth straight victory. With Mickey Cochrane and Billy Rogell leading the attack with four hits each, the Tigers rapped four Chicago pitchers for 19 hits. Cochrane hit two doubles and a triple. The White Sox made 16 hits. Clyde Hatter, although rapped for 11 hits in 5 1-3 inrings, received ' credit for the victory. Bill Weir, who left the Univer sity of New Hampshire campus last year and won four games for the Bees, pitched Boston to a 3-1 victory over the New York Giants. In six games divided between the two clubs the winning team has made three runs. Weir held the Giants to six hits. The Bees made only five hits off Hal Schumacher , in seven innings but bunched singles by Warstler and Gene Moore and doubles by Cuccinello and Di Maggio for three runs in the fourth. Not a Giant outfield- ; er made a putout. tying a record field by three clubs. In a “county fair” ball game which took three hours and one minute to play the Phillies beat Brooklyn. 14-8. There was everything in the game except a fight and a home run Nine pitchers saw action, five for Brooklyn and , four for Philadelphia. There were seven errors, wild pitches, passed balls, comic base running, wrangling with umpires, and a conglomeration of everying a major league game shouldn’t be.
