MOLLY MIES TO OPEN BASEBALL SEASON SUNDAY Local Semi-Pro Team To Play Fort Wayne Colored Giants Here Local baseball will open with a ban* afternoon when the Decatur seinipro fiub plays the Fort Wayne Colored Giants at Worthmun tieia. The Giants need no introduction to Decatur fans. The team has played here several times and is famous for its spectacular methods on the field. Nate Buggs, who manages the colored boys this year, states that he has two players worthy of a berth in the big time. Color bars them, and they have selected the Uiants as the best club available with whom to display their wares. List'd on the colored nine are several names of prominence In sports circles. Two of khem, Jennings and Babbs, will be remembered as hardwood stars, and are press agented as being equally flashy on tiie diamond. The Decatur nine, managed again by Molly Mies, has been reorganized and is reputed to have the material to become foremost in northern Indiana baseball. Mies claims that every man in the line ; up is a potential home run hitter. If the fences are not too distant, he states .the sluggers will have many circuit clouts credited to them during the summer. The infield, according to Mies, is the fastest he ever worked with in no-professional competition. This coming from a man who has been on the payroll of a major league team should assure the fans plenty of action. In an exhibition game played two weeks ago this same infield completed a triple play. Record books verify that it was one of very few such plays ever made in local baseball history. Admission prices this season will be 25c for adults, 10 cents for children. The Sunday game will be called at 3 o’clock to permit those who attend the Catholic picnic iuuple time to reach the ball park.

LOUIS UNHURT IN AUTO WRECK Joe Louis Escapes Injury; Lack Os Condition Causes Alarm Philadelphia, June 10 —(UP)— The United States circuit court of .appeal* refused today to grant Mad11son Square garden an injunction halting the Joe Louia-James Braddock heavyweight championship fight. Kenosha. Wis, June 10 —dJ.P.I An official physician cornered Joe Louis today to determine whether the husky bomber is a fit challenger for Jim Braddock's heavyweight title. Louis had no marks to show for the automobile accident In which he was involved last night. However, many of his backers had begun to doubt Joe’s condition after watching his indifferent workouts. Louis and his manager, Julian Black, were riding in a car driven by the bomber’s bodyguard, Carl Nelson, when It collided last night with a car driven by Davis E. Hamilton. Both cars were damaged badly, but none of the occupants was injured. Louis was shaky, and went to bed early to regain his composure. Trainer Jack Blackburn insisted Louis will enter the ring at Chicago June 22 at the sharpest fighting edge of his cannonading career. Chairman Joe Triner came along today to witness the medical examination for the Illinois athletic commission. Braddock, who hasn't fought for two years, sailed through his test with perfect marks last month. The bomber’s poor ring showing during the first two weeks of his training can be blamed on three things: 1. Louis, strictly a puncher, is working on a defense for a right hand blow—forgetting for the moment his own attack. 2. He has probably the weakest set of sparring partners he ever had. 3. Ijis handlers work him slowly to have him at the peak the night of the fight, not a week before as they reported they had done after the bout with Max Schmeling. With the crew of punching bags he spais with now, it would be impossible for Louis to hit his peak too soon, if at all. Still, they were ideal to help train him against the right hand punch with which Schmeling knocked him out. None could hit Joe hard enough to hurt him and he was hit often during the early stages. Louis was idle for only a month between his barnstorming tour after the Natie Brown fight and opening training in the municipal stadium here. One camp attache said Louis weighed 220 when he reported for work. Already he has worked that down to 200 pounds and probably will weigh in June 22 at 198. o Charles Rutledge of El wood, visited here several houns.

DEAN PITCHES CARDS TO WIN OVER GIANTS

Dizzy Holds Giants To Thi •ee Hits As Mates Pound Hubbell New York, June 10. — (U.R) —The shifting fortunes of baseball tossed Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean back on top today. A few short days ago he was one of the most unpopular players in the game, hounded by fans, scribes and even high officials. iTls unpopularity was emphasized when he warmed up yesterday in the first game of a double-head-er against the New York Giants. Most of the crowd of 55,577 booed him. They booed him when he walked to the mound, they razzed him when he came to bat, they jeered him when he blazed over a fast ball. But at the end the jeers turned to cheers. Ol’ Di«, tending strictly to business, carved out one of, the masterpieces of his career. | He held the Giants to three hits, allowed only four men to reach base and scored an 8-1 triumph over Carl Hubbell. The concensus in tlfe press box was: “If Dean would only stick to; pitching and let somebody do his talking for him he'd hold his light-I place among the game's greatest pitchers." But as a St. Louis scribe explained, “Dizzy not popping off is like a ship without a sail.” Whatever may happen to him in succeeding days this season, cred-' it must be given to Dean for the game he pitched yesterday before a hostile throng which hoped to see Dizzy get his ears pinned back. Before the game "Tie was silent and morose. His pitching teammate, Bob Weiland, was so surprised by Dizzy’s attitude he inquired: ’’Whatsa matter Diz, are you scairt?”

Dizzy blinked bis eyes, and replied sharply: “I ain’t scairt of nothing.” Least of all was he "scairt” of the Giants or Hubbell. Dean took his razzing and pitched with heart and arm and no monkeyshines. The only thing to mar Dean's great triumph was the Giants’ thrilling ninth inning in the second game which gave them an even break. Ike Danning, pinchhitting, drove a homer into the right field stands off Weiland, scoring Ott ahead of him. to give New York a 3-2 victory and enabre the Giants to re&in the National league lead. The Chicago Cubs won their 11th game in the last 13 by scoring an 8-4 victory over Brooklyn. Larry French won his second game since his hand was broken. The Cubs made all their hits and runs in two innings. Bill Jurges and Augie Galan, roommates and princlpe/ pranksters of the Cubs, drove in two runs each. The Boeton Bees grabbed a twin bill from Cincinnati, 5-2, and 5-0, and moved into fifth place. Jim Turner and Lou Fette each held the Reds to six hits. Hub Walker, Reds' oilTfielder, broke his collar bone, making a diving catch, and will be idle five weeks. Berger hit a homer in the first game and Di Maggio hit one in the second. Claude Passeau broke the Phillies six-game losing streak by pitching an 8-1 victory over Pittsburgh. Camilli and Grace hit homers for the Phils. Cleveland moved within a half game of the Yankees and White Sox, tied for the American league lead, by beating the Boston Red Sox, 12-6. Carl Averill Tifd Hal Trosky each hit a single, double and triple. Jimmy Foxx hit a 450foot home run. No other American league games were played. Yesterdays hero: Dizzy (I won’t sign nothin) Dean, who pitched his way back into the good graces of fandom by silencing the Giants with a three-hit performance. —o— LEADING BATTERRS Player Club GAB R H Pet.
