JACKETS LOSE OPENING GRID GAME TO PERU Decatur No Match For Heavy Peru Eleven, Lose 52 To 0 , Decatur’s Yellow Jackets ran Into a tartar in their opening game of the 1937 season Saturday night at Peru, losing to the strong Cir cus City eleven, 52 to 0. Peru, last year one of the ten ranking teams in the state, started a line that averaged more than 200 pounds, with a backfield of 175 pounds. Against this superior weight and experience, the Yellow Jackets put, up a game fight but were unable ( to make any headway. Decatur failed to make a first down through-, out the entire game and never threatened to score. Buffington, heavy, shifty left halfback of the Peru team, was the offensive star of the game, scoring three touchdowns. and adding two extra points on place kicks. Other touchdowns were chalked up by Wilson. Cary. Holland. Kincaid and Rose. Castel'. left guard, also scored two extra points on place kicks. Peru scored two touchdowns in i the first quarter, two in the second. ' three in the third and one in the fourth. McConnell, quarterback, one of Decatur's four lettermen from the . 1936 squad, was outstanding for the Yellow Jackets. McConnell's puting kept Peru at bay at various times during the game, and his deadly tackling in the open halted additional Peru touchdowns. Death, another 1936 regular, suf sered an injured leg in the first quarter, and was able to play only a brief period of the balance of the ] game. Decatur's next game will be played Friday night of this week, when the Yellow Jackets meet the Bluffton Tigers at Bluffton. Lineups: Decatur Peru Gr.-th.-r I.E Wilson

GIANTS RETAIN SLIGHT MARGIN OVER CHICAGO National League Standing Unchanged As Teams Split New York. Sept. 13. —<U.R>—The I major leagues had their last chance ‘ for a deep breath today before rounding into the stretch—the finish is three weeks away. The National league was in the I midst of one of its torrid windups with the New York Giants and i Chicago Cubs fighting tooth and i nail for the top berth. The Anter- ! ican league flag was almost cer- ' tainly the property of the New i York Yankees who are 10 games I out in front. The result of National league. competition yesterday was nil since all teams split double-head-ers. The Giants retained their game and a half advantage, over | the Cubs. Cliff Melton of the Giants scor-l led his 16th victory. 3-1. holding the Boston Bees to five hits and best- 1 ing Lou Fette on the mound. The I Giants drove Jim Turner from the] mound with a four run rally in flie second game, but it was not enough to overcome Boston's lead established off Gumbert and Coffman, and Boston won. 6-4. Larry French turned in a masterpiece. doling four hits to Pittsburgh, to pitch the Cubs to a 5-0! shutout, but the seven hit flinging of Jim Tobin triumphed 4-2 for Pittsburgh in the second game. In a battle of southpaws. Bob Weiland pitched five-hit ball to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 2-0 shutout over Lee Grissom and the Cincinnati Reds, but in the first game the Reds had bunched safeties with Cards errors for a 10-7, triumph, though outhit 15-8. A 10th inning single drove in two runs to give Philadelphia a 4-3 victory over Brooklyn, but the Dodgers retaliated with a 13-hit barrage and a 9-5 decision in the finale. Washington and New York halved a double-header in the American [league by identical scores —2-1. The iopener went to the Senators; the i second game to the Yanks. Stone's double drove home Washington's i winning run. giving rookie Ken Chase the decision over Red Ruffing. Joe Di Maggios 42nd home run of the year came in the first inning of the nightcap, and his ’ single in the fourth put Red Rolfe ’ i in a position to score the winning run on Gehrig's single. It was Lefty Gomez's 18th win. Best pitched game of the day was that of Detroit’s curve ball artist. Tommy Bridges, who gave iup but three hits in blanking the Chicago 'White Sox, 4-0. Boston put on an eight run rally in the ninth, driving George Caster to the showers, and beating Philadelphia 13-6. Only Sunday double victory, I Cleveland's 6 3 and 6-1 triumph over St. Louis. Johnny Allen hurled a four-hitter in the second game, scoring his 11th straight vic-' Itory, against no defeats. 1 Yesterday's hero: Tommy Bridges.] whose three l.it pitching against Chicago enabled Detroit to pick up a half game in an almost hopeless race to catch the Yankees. —o — > • | Today’s Sport Parade ' (By'Henry McLemore) I New York, Sept. 1? —(UP) —One man's private stroke analysis of the 57th annual national tennis singles championship: Things I didn't like department; The studied (or so I though) cuteness of Senorita Anita Lizana, winner ot the women's title 1..,. Every time the Sen..rita tossed her racquet in the air, giggled, beat her dear little hands together, grimaced in exaepiration over a bad shot, or fainted dead away, I had the feeling that <sbe was attempting to live up to her European press clippings which said she was the most temperamental and mercurial bit to step on the courts since Lenglen .... Some of my colleagues were entranced by the Senorita’s Lid. .is and went so far as to say she was a “second Lenglen.” .... On the best day she ever had the Senorita couldn't have taken more than a game a set from Suzanne, and Mrs. Moody would have dusted her off in half an hour .... Things I didn't like DepL (Cont.) The work of the linesmen in moet of the early and unimportant matches. . . . They missed nearly every .'<ther shot, as hat pulled down over eyes, they dozed and nodded in the sun .... The condition of the eo-ca'led stadium turf. . .Toward the end of the tournamept there wasn’t enough grass on the three stadium courts to provide a decent mean S.r a robust Belgian hare The west side club officials should either re-sod the place or go back to clay The American rule which allows players to wear spikes, be the weather wet or dry, didn’t help the turf any ....

MANA FACES STIFF SCHEDULE McMillin, With Smallest Squad In Big Ten, Faces Problem Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 13 <U.R) -Facing a stiff Big Ten schedule with one of the smallest aqiiuil* 111 the conference, coach A. N Bo McMillin today grappled with two I serious problems as his Indiana university team prepared for the 1937 football wars. Briefly, the problems confronting the sliver-thatched, soft-spoken southerner as he enters his fourth 1 season as Indiana's head football coach, are these: I 1. Develop reserve strength. 2. Produce a flashy, scoring halfNeed for reserve strength be- : comes evident in comparing Indi- > ana's squad of 42 candidates with ' the turnout at other conference schools, such as —Illinois with 86 | candidates, Minnesota and North--1 western with 70 each. lowa with 54, Michigan with 51 and Ohio ' State 55. The loss of Vernon Huffman, high-geared triple-threat back, who I joins the professional Detroit Lions this fall in the difficult role of sue[cessor to Earl (Dutch) Clark, amp ly explains the second point. He quarterbacked the Hoosiers to their most successful season in a quarter-century last year. Bearing these factors in mind. McMillin—at the most never con sidered an optimist in issuing pre season predictions —does not wax too eloquent or enthusiastic in dis ' cussing his hopes for the approach ing season. As a nucleus for the 1937 squad. “Bo" has 13 lettermen and 10 re serves, but only five ot this num ber were regulars last season. In diana lost 14 lettermen. The regulars around whom the team will be built probably will be Frank Filchock. who will shift fron 1 halfback to quarterback; Capt. R L. “Jick” Kenderdine, end: James Sirtosky, guard, and George "Sparky" Miller, center. World Speed Records Set At Winchester ' Winchester, Ind.. Sept. 13. —(U.R ' —Everett Saylor.
