FELLER LOSES TWO-HIT GAME BY WILDNESS Holds Tigers To Two Hits But Is Defeated By 3-2 Score New York. July 12— (U.R) —Bob Feller, farmboy atrikeout king of the American league, was back in the harness today, but his lack of control had hls Cleveland bosses guessing as to how much he could help the Indians in thia year'e pennant race. After amazing the baseball world by fanning 17 men In a game last year, Feller pulled a muscle in the sixth inning of his first start this year and. after fanning 11 men, lost 4-3, to the Browns. Until July 4 he had only two relief roles and was ineffective in both. He lost hls Independence Day start to Detroit 3-2 when he fielded a bunt and threw to an uncovered bag. The Tigers handed him hls third defeat. In as many starts, yesterday by the same margin—3 to 2 The 19-year-old firebailer doled out but two hits. His own wildness spelled defeat. Bases on balls figured in every Detroit run. White walked in the fourth, went to second on an infield out and scored on Greenberg’s single. Leading 2-1 in the sixth as a result of home runs by hls teammates, Solters and Tros ky, Bob filled the bases with walks. He fanned a mighty slugger in Hank Greenberg, but a wild pitch to Gee Walker allowed the tying run to come in. Passes to Gehringer and Greenberg to start the ninth gave the game away. Gehringer went to third when Walker forced Greenberg at second. Rudy York hit what looked like a sure double

DECATUR TEAM SUFFERS FIRST LOSS OF YEAR — Celina Hands Mies SemiPros First Defeat Os The Season Decatur's semi-pro baseball team was handed its first defeat of the year yesterday afternoon when the Celina Eagles drove out ten hits ( and won the game, 7-2. i Knapke, Celina hurler, started shakily and allowed Decatur’s only tallies in the first inning After walking Jackson. Decatur leadoff man, Knapke made the mistake of pitching to Rol Ladd and found himself the victim of Rol's second 1 home run of the season. But Knepke settled down and 1 for the remaining eight innings, | Decatur could not get more than 1 two hits In a row. Celina's scoring splurge opened in the fifth. Schneider. Decatur pitcher, worked into a hole after McElroy singled. Grunden doubled and Gray walked. With the bases loaded Knapke literally won his own bfill game by a long single into right field. Mies relieved Snyder but could not retire the side until five runs had crossed the plate. Decatur's line up yesterday was somewhat unbalanced due to absence of Fancher, regular right fielder. R. Braun, who has been ' playing second base, was shifted j to right field and Buffenbarger was l put on second. It was Buffenbargj er's first game with the locals. Next Sunday the Decatur team ' will meet Montpelier at Worth- • man field. Montpelier has played seven games this year and won six I of them. Ladies will be admitted free for ■ the Montpelier games, provided j they are accompanied by an escort. The last ladies day, held two weeks ago, brought out many of the feminine fans and it is expect-; ed that the ladies will repeat this Sunday.

July 12. — I (U.R) Being nothing more than random remarks by a man with I more sunburn than sense: with I the population of the world as I large as it is the American golfers who competed in the British open ' championship undoubtedly are wondering why Henry Cotton had to win it . . . Cotton, who has developed snobbery to an all-time high, is robustly disliked by our pros . . . The fact that from the moment he whirls up to the clubhouse in an expensive limousine, liveried chauffeur equipped, untH he whirls away again after his round, he never speaks to anyone, 1 probably has something to do with it. Cotton even awes Walter Hagen, and that, you know, takes a deal of aweing . . . Several months ago I named the Washington Senj ators and the Pittsburgh Pirates | as my choices for the National and, i American pennants, respectively ... That was a mistake ... I did ' not mean to select the Pirates and ■ Senators to win the championships but to lead their leagues in club fielding ... I see by the papers today that the Pirates are only nine percentage points away from the lead in club fielding and the Senators but four points . . . For some reason or another I found myself sitting next to the Reverend Jardine at a banquet Saturday night . . . the man who married the Duke of Windsor and Wally Simpson would very much like to see a baseball game while he is in this country . . . Thinks he will like it better than cricket,a game he used to play a bit himself . . . My belief in “horse sense” was destroyed by an act on the steel pier here ... In this act one of "man’s best friends” (or is that the muskrat?) jumps off a 50-foot tower into a tank of water . . , This horse made as nearly a fine a dive as some of his brothers have made for me on the track . . . It's funny isn’t it, how British athletic teams manage to work up enough enthusiasm to try when they are powerful and have enough class to win? . . . And how, when they are weak, give the impression that winning isn't everything, and that Americans place too high a premium *on victory . . . These observations were prompted by a ! reading of the victory of CamI bridge and Oxford athletes over | Harvard and Yale . . . When the British failed so miserably in the Olympics their supporters sent their time belittling the winning spirit ... I can think of few worse things to watch than a women's polo game . . . The nearest I ever came to watching one was in a newsreel, and even the scenes showing the Japanese cabinet furnished more action . . . Dr. Douglas L. Little did the American Wightman cup team a great favor when he asked Doiothy Round to marry him, and set September as
