JACKETS DROP FINALTILT TO PORTLAND Panthers Smother Locals With 14-Hit Barrage To Win, 17-3 Decatur high school s Yellow, Jackets closed the season at Port- j land Friday afternoon by bowing' in defeat to the Panthers. 17-3. Limited to a measly five hits by F. Hartzell and McDaniel, the Jacket hurlers gave up 14 hits to the Panthers before the smoke of ; the battle cleared away. For the Jackets, who Thursday were eked out of a chance to enter the conference tourney by a stubborn Hartford City nine, yes terday's tilt was but an anti-climax | to the 1937 baseball season. The Panthers scored in each inning. For Decatur Bleeke rapp-' ed out two singles. Schnepp got a double,' Beery a single and McConnell a lusty three-bagger for the five hits.
