Decatur Yellow Jacket football aspirants assembled for opening practice Tuesday. Mlne~Bevere games are carded for the Jackets, who have only tour (eucrmeu remaining front the 1936 sqned More than 20 high school lads reported at the high school Tuesday ntortiing for issuance of uniforms and other equipment. Most of these candidates were at Wo.thman Field in the afternoon tor a short practice session. The i'est of this week and most of next will likely be confined mostly to conditioning work, with thb first week of school devoted to -developing a set of plays for the opening game. Hugh Andrews, athletic director] and head coach, who has led the I Yellow Jackets to two northeast-1 era Indiana conference championships during his three years as mentor, faces a tough task in attempting to build a grid machine this season capable of taking its nine opponents in stride. The four lettermen available f>r the 1937 eleven are McConnell and Death, halfbacks; Highland, center and Grether, a tackle. Nine lettermen on the 1936 squad were lost by graduation last May. Play Under Lights All home games will be played under the brilliant floodlights, installed last year at Worthman Field. Splendid crowds attended all night games last season, and with the revival of football interest in Decatur during the past three seasons, even larger crowds are anticipated.

CHICAGO RALLY BEATS YANKEES' Sox Rally In Ninth To Win; Cubs-Giants . I Rained Out New York, Aug. 25—'U.R)— Now ( that the White Sox pennant hopes I have sputtered out, their main objectives are: 1 — Capture second place and finish higher than any White Sox team in 17 years. 2— Give the Yankees a going over. Chicago made progress in both campaigns yesterday by defeating - the high-riding Yankees, 9-8. They i gave the Yankees a gulp of their own medicine —a ninth inning rally which turned an apparent New York victory into defeat. Three weeks ago the Yanks took four straight from the White Sox in New York, winning three games in the eighth and ninth innings. Two were out in the ninth yesterday, and Radcliff was on first. Johnny (Grandma) Murphy, who has won 12 out of 13 games this season in a relief role, was pitching. By retiring Luke Appling the Yanks would have begun their final western junket with an 8-7 triumph.. But Appling singled,* sending Radcliff to third. Mule Haas singled, tying the score. Then Tony Piet doubled, driving in Appling with the winning run. The season’s series between them now stands: Y’anks 10. White Sox 9. with three games to play. The White Sox gained a half game I on the second place Tigers and are now only 2*4 games behind them. Detroit missed an opportunity to gain on the Yanks by dividing a double-header with the Athletics. Tommy Bridges won his 12th game and pitched the Tigers to a 6-3 victory in the opener, but the A’s took the second game, 9-8. Rudy York hit three homers, two in the opener and one ip the second game, to make his season’s total 25. Cleveland nosed out the Boston Red Sox, 4-3, in 13 innings. Roy Hughes came off the bench after three weeks of idleness and singled with the bases loaded to de- ‘ cide a pitcher’s battle between Lefty Grove and Johnny Allen. It ] was Allen’s seventh victory against no defeats. Wes Ferrell pitched and batted 1 Washington to a 9-6 victory over • the St. Louis Browns. He hit three singles and drove in three runs, and held the Browns safe after a shaky start. Jim Turner bested Cy Blanton to give the Boston Bees a 1-0 victory over Pittsburgh in the only National league game. Turner gave up only five hits in winning his 14th game, a feat accomplished only by three other National I leaguers, Hubbell, Warneke and | Fette. Gene Moore's single, I Mayo’s sacrifice and Mueller's single accounted for the only run off Blanton, who allowed eight hits in seven innings. I Rain washed out the crucial Cubs-Giants game. A double- ( header is scheduled for today. ‘ Carl Hubbell will face Bill Lee in | the opener and Larry French will oppose Harry Gumbert in the sec- ! ond. Postponement of today’s games would shift them to Chicago j Sept. 21, 22, 23 because the Cubs have no more games scheduled i for New York. i Yesterday's hero — Tony Piet, White Sox third baseman, whose ninth inning double defeated the Yankees.

♦ • I Today’s Sport Parade • (By Hsnry McLemore) New Y’ork, Aug. 25 —(UP) —UeI ually, on the day before a heavy J I weight championship fight, I am ' comfortably settled in my little bungalo which stands way, way way out yonder on the end of the limb. But today, probably because of that preverseness of nature which made me a problem child until I | was 19. going on 20, I am not out on i the limb. I am stringing with the I vast majority, and picking Louis to ' knock the eternal daylights out of | Tommy Farr. But my snug little diggings out ■ on the end of the limb won’t be un- , occupied. I have rented them to i Jack Maeauliffe. The o\d retired un- ] defeated lightweight champion of I i the world who. in a special article i ]for the United Press t. day. comes out flat-footedly for Farr, jack i minces no words, but says the ; Welshman will bo too tough, too | strong and too smart for the cham- j ' pion. Jack, old boy, I sort of envy you I out there on the end of the limb. , you’ll find it mighty, mighty comfortable. I have spent many happy | hours out there, with the rain ot criticism pattering on the roof, and I the equirrels poking their noses I through the window, and scheming how they could remove such a large nut and store it for the winter. The vetilation ewt there ou the limb is mighty fine, too. It’s threeway, and there aren’t any tall buildings to keep the howling blasts from sweeping right through. In sub-letting the place, Jack, I forgot to tell you much about it, so 1 guess I'll do it right here. In the refrigerator yea’ll find enough stores to keep you from going hungry. That stuff in the red tin is ; jerked critiolsm and bully insults. ' the latter being a form .V “beef’ if you get what I mean. They are very nourishing. I Jived off them for nearly two months after I picked Braer to butcher Braddock. In one corner of the living room you’ll notice quite a few packages, neatly wrapped and tied with ribbon. The packages are guest cubes of Paris green and are addressed and stamped, all ready to be mailed out to the second-guessers in case your selection g-"«es the wrong way. ' ,n the gun room you’ll find artillery enough to do a good job on yourself if Farr and you find yourself unable to take it. Oh yes—l always give the p-.stman a tip of a dollar for lugging all those letters to the house after a pick goes hay- ] wire. This figures out a quarter of , a cent for each letter beginning: "You stupid idiot, how in the world ] did you ever get a y«b, etc., etc.” I There’s only one thing you’ll find troublesome about the Kttle home ! out on the limb. Jack. And that con- . cerns the little matter of getting .'off the limb. For some reason or another, the steps fold up when you reach the top, and it’s eyery man for himself when the climbing down time comes. | I never have solved this problem, despite the fact that I have spent half my life out on the limb. I usually just jump back to nermaley, , and start whistling as if nothing had ever happened. This doesn’t fool anyone, but I find that It helps.
