CITY LIGHT OF FORT WAYNE TO BE HERE SUNDAY Mies’ Semi-Pros To Play} Second Game Os Seas- j on Here Tomorrow The Mies semi-pros, victorious in their first start of the season I,mt Sunday, will make their second appearance at Worthman Field Sunday afternoon, tangling with another strong Fort Wayne nine. | The City Light Tigers, at the' present time tied for the lead in the Fort Wayne Federation league, wUT furnish the opposition for, Moily Mies' outfit tomorrow. The Tigers have won their only three starts of the present season, and rank as one of the best semi- ' pro teams in this section of the; state. Decatur handed the Fort Wayne Colored Giants their first loss of; the season last Sunday, rapping' out 11 hits to score a 5-4 triumph. Molly Mies, manager of the 10-! cal team, and a veteran of many I years experience in league circles,' may take over the hurling duties Sunday. The balance of the lineup probably will be unchanged from last week. Admission prices will be 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. — o Race Payoffs In Japan Held To 9-1 Odds Tokyo (U.P.) — That loud wail arising from the island of Japan and spreading over the Paoific Ocean came from' the man who held the only win ticket sold on Happy Life in the fifth at Nakayana and who was rewarded only at the puny odds of 9 to 1. It happens on rare occasions in the United States and elsewhere that a single better, under the parimutuel system, may be the only backer of a hortse. He is rewarded in what the talent usually calls "telephone boo#” or “box-car” figures, usually winning thousands of dollars on a small wager. Under the law in Japan a winning horse never pSys more than 9 to 1, and that was what the Happy Life better was complaining about. This provision is supposed to discourage betting, but it is a matter of record that at a Japanese racetrack a million yen (about $300,000 or more is frequently wagered in one day. The remainder of the win pool is refunded to holders of losing win tickets. Happy Life beat the favorite. Miracle Daughter, by half a length in a 8,500-meter jumping race which , drew 19 starters. Five hundred win tickets had been sold on the race, but only one of them was on Happy Life. The winner, who

! would not tell hie name or why ho happened to bet on such a long shot, collected 200 yen on his 20 yen wager, and he and the losers each The whole tpool, less customary truck and tax reductions, would have gone to the backer of Happy Life had the winner-take-all system I of sp’itting the pool been in vogue. I it would have meant that the bettor : would have received $2,400 instead ‘ of $65. ! The Japanese government takes 3 yen out of each 20 wagered as a tax. That is why a "hot” favorite sometimes returns less than the original 20 yen investment, for actually only 17 yen is riding on the s horse. , . With the possible winning odds 'cut so drastically, horserace betting is considered a poor form of gambling in Japan. But the tracks are well patronized, some 50,000 spectators having been present at Nakayama on the day Happy Lite won. FARRAR HURLS NO-HIT GAME Castings Company Hurler Blanks G. E.

CHICAGO CUBS ADD TO LEAD Nose Out Phillies As Hubbell Again Loses For Giants New York. June 19 The Cubs moved up to a full gamy ahead of (he New York Giants when Augie Galan tripled with three men on in the ninth to give the Chicago team an 8-7 victory over the Phillies while the Giants lost to Cincinnati. For the sixth straight time Carl Hubbell was belted out of the box as the Reds defeated him and the New York Giants 5 to 3 in their current series opener. A four-run rally in the third inning drove Hubbell to the showers with his fourth consecutive defeat, put the game on ice for the Reds, and cashed in on Lefty Lee Grissom's five-hit pitching. Failure to drive home base runners. and an error, contributed to ■ the defeat of the Boston Bees by ] the St. Louis Cardinals, 5 to 2. The Bees, who held a 2-to-O lead after batting in the sixth, had men ' on base in every inning and out-' hit the Cards 13 to 10 but left 11 men stranded. The Pirates and Dodgers con-, spired against Van Lingle Mungo . and the Hues, with the aid of four i Brooklyn errors, came through ! with a 6-4 victory in the series ; opener. Although he fanned eight bat-! . ters, Mungo never had a chance | once his Dodger teammates start-, ed booting the ball around. Oral Hildebrand, veteran St. : Louis right-hander, shut out the Senators, ti to 0. in a game marked by fisticuffs between Al Simmons and Bill Knickerbacker. Hildebrand was touched for only two hits—a si,:.le to left field by Simmons and a scratch hit through shortstop by Buddy Lewis. The red hot Red Sox stretched their winning streak to five straight and took over fourth ! place in the American league with a tight 5-to-4 victory over the. Cleveland Indians. The defeat was the Indians’ I fourth in a row since they began their current eastern swing Tues-, day. and dropped them out of the ' ■ first division by a narrow perj centage margin for the first time | since May 6. o Kemba Softball Team W ants To Book Games The Kemba softball team of Fort Wayne is interested in booking games on Tuesday nights un- i der lights or on Saturday for day j games.

REGULATIONS ON FIREWORKS State Fire Marshal Issues Regulations On Fireworks Sales - - Indianapolis, June 19 — Scores of Hoosier children could be saved from injury during Fourth of July celebrations if state regulations governing fireworks would be observed, State Fire Marshal Clem Smith said. As a part of Governor M. Clifford Townsend's safety program, Mr. Smith ordered merchants sell-, ing fireworks to post state regulations in their stores. These regulations folow: 1. Fireworks displays shall be designed to eliminate danger of explosion. Sun rays shining through glass windows have caused fireworks to explode. 2. No fireworks may be dis . played or sold in any street, sidewalk, alley, vacant lot or closer than 25 feet to a public highway. | 3. Dealers must keep fireworks in no-inflammable containers if the original shipping cases are opened before June 19. 4. Retail sales shall be limited from July 1 to July 6. 5. Fireworks must not be sold to children under 12 years. 6. Fireworks cannot be sold, exploded or lighted at any filling station or place where inflamable liquids are handled or stored. j Articles-banned by state law in-
