DECATUR NINE EASY VICTOR ! HERE SUNDAY Mies’ Semi-Pros Trounce Cky Light Team, 9 To 2 Decatur's semi-pro baseball team j exploded ah unlucky number of thirteen bombs In the form of base bits and smothered the Fort Wayne City Light club under a score of 9-2 In Sunday’s game at Worthman Field. The big noise started in the first inning when a walk and two bunched hits counted for two runs. But that was only the beginning. After allowing Fort Wayne to score once in the third, Jackson, Decatur left fielder, opened the fourth inning with a double. Snedeker singled and Hoi Ladd connected with his only hit of the jyune to drive in two runs. The merry-go-round did not stop There. Huffman lined down third ' base and Snyder clouted a double; in attempted steal finally retired the side. Fort.. Wayne made its only other “fun in the sixth. Eddie, the Tigers' right fielder, hit a single and took second on a passed ball. Worthman drove a double to center field, and scored Eddie. That was the last serious threat Fort Wayne made. Three more runs in the eighth Inning rounded out Decatur's scoring. Passwater tripled with two on and was brought home when Snedeker singled. Mies hurled the first four innings for Decatur but retired wYT?n"iiis arm tired. Moore finished the game and gave only three hits. Mies, manager of the locals, announced yesterday that he plans to hold a contest to name the team. Complete detail's will be published within the next week.

CARDINALS CUT CUBS' MARGIN WITH TWO WINS Medwick’s S 1 u kk i n k Shows Way; Yanks Whip Sox Twice New Y’ork, June 21. —(U.PJ The first candidate to throw his hat in the National league ring for the most valuable player award this season was Joseph M. (DuckyWueky) Medwick whose slugging teats carried his name to the top of the list in five different reportments today. Medwick. the 26-year-old St. Louis Cardinal outfielder and cleanup batter, leads the circuit in percentage, home runs, runs, runs batted in, and hits. He has been the main cog in the Cards' drive to second place— a game away from the top. Joe leads the batsmen of both major leagues with a mark of .426. He has hit safely 86 times in 202 attempts. His 86 hits ties him with Gerry Walker of Detroit in the American league who has walloped out the same number of safeties. Medwick has made 15 home runs j to tie Hank Greenberg of Detroit and Joe Di Maggio of New York for leadership in this department of both leagues. His 64 runs-batt-ed-iu top all players of both elr- ; cults, and the 51 runs he has scor- , ed are topped only by Greenberg, who has 54. Th Cards beat the Boston Bees twice yesterday, and Medwick was foe big gun in each game. He got two doubles and a single, and scored two runs as the Cards won the opener. 6-2. Lon Warneke allowed four hits and registered his eighth victory. In the nightcap which St. Louis won, 9-1, behind | the five-hit flinging of Dizzy Dean, j Medwick rapped a home run and 1 a double, scored three runs, and drove in three more. It was Dean's 10th victory. Although the New'Tork Giants won. 4-3, over the Cincinnati Reds, they fell into third place behind the Cards by four percentage points, because of the difference in limber of games played. Both are just one game behind the Ctai- : cago Cubs who were beaten 6-5 by the Philadelphia Phillies. The fourth-place Pittsburgh Pirates I split a double-header with the ' Brooklyn Dodgers by identical I scores. 4-2. The largest orowd of the major league season turned out to see the New York Yankees take the Chicago White Sox twice, 8-4 and 7-4. Paid attendance was 68,939. Every run in the flrgt Yankee triumph was the result of a circuit clout. Selkirk hit a pair, driving in five runs. Di Maggio hit another with one mate aboard, and Gehrig's came wifTT the bags empty. The Detroit Tigers kept within a game and a half of the Y’anks with a twin triumph over the Philadelphia Athletics. Eiden Auker scattered eight hits to win the first, 6-3. and Tommy Bridges turned i« a six-hitter in the second for an 8-1 triumph The double defeat droppe dthe As into a cellar tie with the St. Louis Browns who were bested, 5-3, by Washington. Wes Ferrell distributed eight safeties for his third straight viei tory since abandoning the Boston Red Sox uniform. The Red Sox ran their winning streak to six games by taking the first end of a double offering from the Cleveland Indians, 5-2, but succumbed, 8-7, in the finale when the tribe put on a two-run ; rally in the ninth. Yesterdays’ hero: Bill Dickey of the New Y’ork Yankees who had a “perfect day" in the second game of a double-header with Chicago, getting four for sou home run and three singles that drove in four runs. o Woman, 92, Goes To School Kenton, O.

June 21 —(U.PJ —James J. Braddock will retain his world's heavyweight championship tomor- j row night by outpointing Joe Louis over the full derby distance j of 15 rounds. This isn't guesswork. It's phrenology. one of the few absolute sciences. Two months ago when this fight was definitely sealed, and I knew 1 would have to pick the winner. I threw out feelers for a new method of selection. Tea leaves failed me sadly, even the usually reliable orange pekoe. So had gypsies, ouija boards, spirit messages, dreams, numerology, crystal gazing and other occult angles. So I turned to phrenology, that system of skull interpretation which makes the human noggin as easy to read as a McGuy primer. For $lO I enrolled in a correspondence school which teaches the science. I do not boast when I say that my school is the Harvard of phre nology institutions. The chair of phrenology is occupied by a man 1 whose name is a household word I 1 at Bellevue, Mattewan, and Kan- I kakee. It was this pedant who, by I

It took me seven weeks to j graduate, which means that it was | only yesterday that I received my mortar board. I passed up the commencement i exercises to stay here and read my own head for the name of the win j ner between Braddock and Louis. Today in my study, whose deep quiet is broken only by a shimmy 1 in the transmission of my morris I chair. I took my head in my hands , and read every line of it. The , ‘ first bump I investigated was an old one that 1 got from falling out of a peach tree In Georgia, it yielded the crop statistics in I Rhode Island, the longitude and latitude of Madagascar, and the oriignal manuscript of the Gettys- j burg address, written on the back of an envelope by the great emancipator himself. The gradual rise back of my right ear was very productive. There, in bold italics, were the first three chapters of Elinor Glyn's “The Shiek,'' the height of a stoop-shouldered singer midget I standing hi a ditch, and the exact location of the lost chord. I sent a Saint Bernard out for j the “lost chord,” and went on with my reading. Finally, snuggled deep in a recess of my cran- ’ ium, I found a plateau that told me about the fight As I rubbed it there came a great ringing of l gongs in my ears. Resin dust | filtered before my eyes, and a | I rabbit brought me in a drink of I

punch. Braddock, thp plateau revealed, will lie knocked down twice be fore the fourth round I* completed. Bui he will get up and Louis, discouraged and tired, will fade For ten rounds Braddock will Jab Joe--Jab him--with a left. In the twelfth round Louis will be very close to losing by a knockout, but | will manage to get up and hang i on until the finish. That's ull I know. It shouhf he enough to make you much money.

NAZIS ABOLISH MANY SCHOOLS j All Confessional Schools In Bavaria Are Abolished Berlin, June 21 (UP)-—Nazi au-' thorftles gave today their reply to 1 1 he Vatican's angry protests against l church conditions in Germany—A 'sweeping edict abolishing all con-; | fesslonal schools in Bavaria, a Ro-' man Catholic stronghold. The next move wus up to the va- j tican, where Pope Plus was report-j ed to be considering the issue of a \ | diplomatic “white book” giving the' church side of the conflict. Adolf Wagner, (premier of Bavaria announced the abolition of the con-1 fessional or denominational schools in a speech yesterday at Garmisch-Partenk-irchen a few hours after the Pope, at his summer estate at Cas- j tel Gandolfo, Italy, held a meeting of the congregation for extraordin-, ary ecclesiastical affairs to consider i conditions in Germany and elsewhere. “The Pope has wept over condi- 1 |iions in Germany,” Wagner said in ! his speech. "But thus fur it has' not been made known how deep is his grief over conditions in Russia and Spain. We must say that we ] Germans in Adolf Hitler's National Socialist (Nazi) Germany feel very, well ,and that there is no reason for ' anyone in the world, including the Pope, to cry over us. | "Germany would feel the greatest happiness if the Pope in Rome instead of weeping would call representatives of the church in Fermany to order and see to it that they put themselves under the state’s | authority.” Educator Sees Poorer Class Rising To Rule Chicago (U.P.) — America w-iltaln | the next few generations may be tuled entirtly by persons coming i from what are now the under-priv-I ileged classes, according to a surI vey made by Dr. Newton Edwards, i University of Chicago professor of | education. 1 "Americans who have the high- ! est occupational status and enjoy i the richest cultural resources are ; failing to replace themselves from | one generation to the other,” he reported. "In contrast” he said, "the underprivileged elements in American life supply the chief source of population increase.” A disproportionate percentage of the population.
