ANDY VARIPAPA i TO BOWL HERE [Noted Bowling Star To Appear At Local Alleys September 29 Andy Varipapa. noted as one , of the greatest bowlers In the world, will appear at the Mies Re- , creation alleys. South Second I street, next Wednesday afternoon and evening, September 29. Varipapa gave an exhibition at I lhe local alleys last winter attd I made a decided hit with his great | I bowling and his wide assortment j of trick shots. j Not only (s Varipapa recognized j , as one of the best and most con- | I sistent bowlers in the world, he is I known as the greatest trick shot j artist in the game. Varipapa will be at the alleys' j from 4 to 6 p. m . and will give free ! | instruction to any latwlers wishing , I to take advantage of the oppor-; tunity. The trick artist will present his ■ regular exhibition of bowling and : of fancy shots at 8:30 p. in. Varipapa will also bowl several , match games against Decatur | bowlers, w Home opener tonight; Decatur football fans will get their first glimpse of the Yellow, Jackets at home tonight, when the Jackets play their home opener, I with the Auburn Red Devils. —oOo — The opening kickoff is scheduled promptly at 8 o'clock. —oOo— Decatur has lost both of its . starts, w hile the Red Devils open-1 ed the season last week with a vic-1 tory over Columbia City. 30 to 0. j The Yellow Jackets were admittedly playing out of their class ‘ in the opening tilt at Peru, but; against Bluffton last week, bad breaks militated against Decatur j in a game which aesily could have I been won by the Jackets. —oOo — Might say that Bluffton was due for the breaks. It was the first'; Bluffton football victory over Decatur in several years. —oOo— With one exception, the Yellow , Jackets are in good physical con- ' | dition for tonight's tilt. Grether, J veteran lineman, suffered severely sprained ligaments in the Bluffton battle and may not see action for a week or 10 days. | School officials and city electric- ■ ians tested the lighting system, installed at Worthman Field last year, Thursday night and declared the system in perfect condition for tonight's home opener. Worthman Field was declared by many last year as the best lighted | football field in this section of the state, and the same system will be in use again this year. And with I pearfect weather on tap today, a great crowd is anticipated for the opener. School officials took another step forward today to make the game more enjoyable for the fans. Announcement was made that a public address system is being installed and each play of the game will be announced in detail. Installation of the system has been made possible through the cooperation of the Miller Radio Service and the Al D. Schmitt Motor Sales. This columnist has been delegated to make the announcements. Football fans, including this writer, attending games, many times have left, the game without knowing whxj made the touchdowns, sometimes even the score. We have noticed that fans apparently take more interest in the game when a public address system keeps them informed of the plays, the lineups, substitutions and penalties. Installation of this system should be a great boon to the football fans, —oOo-— See you under the lights!

GIANTS AGAIN BEAT CUBS TO INCREASE LEAD Trounce Cubs Again; Yanks Clinch American Pennant New York. Sept. 24.-<UR) The , Yankees had the American league 'pennant in the bag today, while the i Giants had all but tucked away the I National league flag. I The Giants were on their way ’ home with 344 game lead after knocking down the Cubs for two I straight and completing their final 1 western swing with 8 victories in 1 11 games. i With only 10 games left to play, land six of them with the Cardinj als. the Cubs' cause looks hopeless. I The Giants, with 13 games to play, need 9 victories to clinch the penI nant, if the Cubs sweep their re- ! maining ten. And thta is a big ["if." Bill Terry's outfit struck a decisive blow yesterday by winning a knock-down-and-drag-out game from the Cubs, 8-7, before 29.414 I fans at Wrigley Field. The battle I was crammed with hair-raising acI tlon. and the Cubs kept the result !in doubt until the final out. They i had the tying and winning runs on I base when Augie Galan rolled out to Mel Ott to end the game. i Jimmy Ripple, red-headed outfielder. and Clipp Melton, lanky southpaw who shut out the Cubs Wednesday, were the heroes of the , Giants' victory. Ripple made two doubles, driving in one run and | scoring two, but his greatest feat (was a running, back-handed catch of Billy Herman's liner with the , bases loaded in the fourth when the Cubs scored three runs to tie I the score. I The Giants rapped Davis. French. I Root and Lee for 17 hits, with Joe ' Moore betting three doubles and a single, and Dick Bartell getting three singles. Terry used for pitchers. Schumacher.
