MIESTEAMTO PLAY GARRETT HERE SUNDAY Local Semi-Pros Seek To Maintain Undefeated Record Decatur baseball funs have in store for them one of the biggest treats of the season when Garrett Invades Worthman field Sunday afternoon and attempts to break the local semi-pro winning streak. Garrett nosed out the loials last year by a score of 4-5. Practically the same line-up used last yeat , will face Decatur Sunday. Decatur has not lost a contest this year. Their heavy batting has been the means of driving out ten and twelve hits in each game, in the two last games they have ; swamped their opponents under a barrage of 22 hits and a total of 17 runs. • Several stars have been (level i oped In the local team. Vaufan Snedeker has iplayed eeneational ball in | the field and has a batting average of .321. Hob Dro, Berne basketball star , and former International Harvest- 1 er outfielder, joined the locals last I Sunday and is under contract to finish the season with Decatur. Molly Mies, manager of the Decatur nine, stated that Dro was farmed to him from Fort Wayne. Under the tutorship of Mies, Dro has possibilities of becoming major league material. This opinion has been voiced by several veteran baseball men who have seen i Dro perform here and in Ft Wayne. He is claimed to be one of the hardest hitters in semi-pro circles. Attendance has been small so far this year, but the management , of the club hopes to see an increase this Sunday. The local team has been playing excellent ball and | Mies has imported several players 1 ' ' - - ' SUN. MON. TUES. Continuous Sunday from 1:15 Matinee MONDAY at 2 P. M. Box Office Open 1:30 to 3.
