Yellow Jacket Football Card Is Announce!

HOME AND HOME SERIES CARDED WITH BLUFFTON Nine Games On Schedule; Only Two Lettermen To Be Available Featured by a home and home series with their arch rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, Decatur's Yellow Jacket football team will play a schedule of nine games next fall.! , opening on Friday. September 10. Coach Hugh Andrews and assistant Deane Dorwin will face a herculean task in an effort to mold ; a winning combination for the 19- i 37 season, as only four lettermen, will be available from the squad of last season. The four returning lettermen, are Death. Grether. McConnell and Highland. Death and McConnell played half-back last year. Grether was a tackle and Highland at center. Nine lettermen of the '36 squad will be lost by graduation this year Scheduling of a home and home series with Bluffton is a radical departure from previous custom. | However, with gridirons of both schools equipped for night games, and with the traditional Yellow Jacket-Tiger clash always the big . game of the season for fans in ; both cities, officials of both schools ■ felt that interest would justify scheduling the two games. No spring football practice was held this year, but Coach Andrews stated today that an effort will be made to take aspirants for the grid team to a summer camp short ly before the opening of the school term. Os the nine games scheduled, five will be played at home and four on foreign fields. The Yellow Jackets will open on the road, playing Peru at the cir cus city Friday. September 10. The first game at Worthman Field will be played Friday. September 24. with the Auburn Red Devils furnishing the competition. Present plans call for all home games to be played under the lights, which proved such a drawing card last fall. The complete schedule follows: ; Sept. 10 —Peru at Pern. Sept. 17—Bluffton at Bluffton. Sept. 24 —Auburn at Decatur. Oct. I—Central1 —Central at Fort Wayne Oct. B—Portland at Portland. Oct. 15 —Central Catholic of Fort : Wayne at Decatur.

COURT RULING PAVES WAY FOR CHICAGO FIGHT Louis - Braddock Bout Favored By Denial Os Injunction Chicago. Muy 15 — U.R) — Joe i i Foley, Illinois promoter of the 'scheduled Joe Louls-Jimmle Brad-, ' dock championship heavyweight 1 I tight here June 22. said last night 1 1 a favorable ruling by Judge Guy I | L. Fake in Newark, N. J , “means | I tile fight is definitely on for Chi- ' ' cago.” Judge Fake denied application | : of the Madison Square corporation I for a temporary injunction to restrain Champion Braddock from meeting Louis. Foley said that in view of JudgeI Fake's action, reserved tickets for I the tight would be placed on sale j today. Newark. N J. May Uj-J.R) I In the most momentous decision in I 1 Isixing history Federal Judge Guy | L. Fake yesterday denied Madison - 1 Square Garden s request for a I temporary injunction to restrain' 1 Heavyweight Champion Janies J Braddock from fighting Joe Louis before meeting Max Schmeling Although Fake left the door open for a final hearing on the case, his ruling on the major question 1 involved was so definite that I President John Reed Kilpatrick of the Garden announced that an immediate appeal would be made The Garden is not interested in a I 1 final hearing The decision apparently paved I the way for the scheduled Brad--1 dock-Louis fight in Chicago on June 22. and virtually killed any chances of holding the scheduled ' Braddock-Schmeling title fight in New York on June 3. ■ Braddock attorneys interpreted the decision as a victory for the 1 champion and an important pre-1 cedent that will govern major boxing contracts in the future. If the decision is upheld by th“ circuit court ot appeals in Philadelphia, it will deal a death blow to the practice of tying up chain-1 pions for unlimited periods as Madison Square Garden has donin the pact through the so-called. Ric kard clause." which it inserted j in all heavyweight challengers' j contracts. For that reason il was | Ihe most important boxing deci- I sion ever handed down. ■ o ROOSEVELT INSISTS VCUNTINIIBD r IUI4I rAGIt was determined to carry the fight j to a showdown which he must win 1 to avoid a major reverse in his I I political fortunes. These obsei' - j ers preferred to interpret the bold , White House challenge as a po-1 ' litical strategy designed to post ! pone formal discussion of compromise until the supreme court has passed upon pending social security cases. These opinions i will be forthcoming ®>y the first I week in June. But the president's “no compromise" declaration was accepted by Democratic opponents of the Judiciary program. They agreed that the bill should be settled on the basis of the six-justice Roosevelt bill and promised its defeat. Some opponents felt that expan- ’ sion of the court would split the party and hinted Mr. Roosevelt would welcome that development. “There have been definite indi cations," said one Democratic senator who opposes the court plan, “that the president would not be averse to a realignment of the party to take in certain liberal and progressive groups I do not believe he would hesitate to force the court bill or a modified version of it through congress even if that meant a permanent parry snlit. as I believe likely.” 0 BITTERNESS IN (CONTINUED FRom FxOK OW pect its members' support in the next campaign if Fenton was oust ed. Despite the editors’ threat and -a warning from George A. Ball, national committeeman and heaviest campaign contributor, that the 1938 campaign could not be financed if a split occurred, Fenton was ousted by a vote of 13 to 9. The ' two Lshe county members of the committee failed to attend or send proxies. Ball suggested that the committee postpone definite action for two weeks while an amicable settlement was attempted. In addition to ignoring the editors’ threat to withdraw support, the committee voted 13 to 9 to j exclude officers of the Editorial I Association from the executive' session. Officers of the association have had a voice, but no vote, in j committee actions for more than, 15 years.

DEAN SUFFERS i FIRST DEFEAT Pirates Drive Dizzy From Mound; Browns Defeat Tigers New York. May 15. The Pitts burgh Pirates, fresh from a successful eaateru campaign, drove Dizxy Dean to the showers tind trounced the St. Louis Cardinals, I 14 to 4, in a triumphant homecoming. ! The victory gave the Pirates a ’ three and a half game lead in the National league over their closest | rivals, the Cards. The Buccaneers landed on the irrepressible Dean in the fourth to; the cheers of 10,000 fans. By that ; time they had nicked him for six ; safeties and four runs and Man | ager Frankie Frisch halted the game to bring Mike Ryba to the, slab. i The defeat was Dean's first of the season. Until yesterday he had achieved five triumphs and had but three runs charged against him. The fans chided the great one as he left Forbes field, but he [ took it in good humor, bowing and waving as he departed. Tigers Lose Detroit's Tigers, world's champ-1 ions in 1935, loaded the bases in . the ninth with none out but could | could not score and St. Louis' up , and downed Browns won. 6 to 5. ; That ninth, after the Tigers got i men on all bases, brought to mind the legend of Casey at the hat but I this time there were three Caseys. ' Charley Gehringer, number 3 batter, fouled to Harland Clift. : Hank Greenberg struck out. Ger-' aid Walker, whose fourth inning single brought his consecutive I game hitting streak to 19, rolled; to Clift, at third, and was easily ( tossed out at first. Jack Knott, husky hurler who might easily have been the goat of ; a ninth inning uprising, was the hero. To start the inning he ilit 1 Hermann, who was batting for El-, den Auker. Jo-jo White then j singled and Manager Cochrane laid down a perfect bunt along the ' third base line. Then Knott found himself. No other games were played. I o Cafeteria Supper.
