YANKEES ONLY ONE GAME OUT OF TOP PLACE Yanks Move Within Game Os Cleveland As Indians Falter New York. May 6.—,.U.R> —With the hot breath of the New York Yankees on their necks, the Cleveland Indians, witose burning pace in the west swept them into the American league lead, appeared afflicted today with their old malady—eastern road jitters. On their first stop in the east, the Indians dropped two out of three to Washington and moved into Philadelphia today with their lead trimmed to one game. . Meantime the Yanks, gradually mustering their blasting power, are moving along on the crest of a four-game winning streak and a record of six victories in their last seven games. They re all even with the Tribe in victories. 11 each, and trailing only because they've played and lost two more games. Oscar Vitt, Cleveland manager, paraded ten pitchers to the mound in Washington in three days—-four one day. two another and four the last day. Two of his three aces.

’couldn't win. The long game the Indians won was salvaged in the ninth, 10-9. Dr. Vitt sent out a hurry-up call for a case of serum to cure the eastern road-jitters. And while you're about it get a load of antitoxin to stave off the Yankee snaK?-bite. The Yankees, in their greatest field day of the young season, belted out a 1210 triumph for a clean three-game sweep over the rejuvenated St. Louis Browns. Joe DiMaggio led the assault with a homer, triple and single, and hammered his way Into the American league batting lead with an average of .458. Johnny Stone's homer with the bases loaded paced Washington s 8-6 triumph ovor Cleveland, and kept the Senators within a game a game and a half of first place. Washington slugged four Indian hurlers for 15 hits. In the other two American league games the Chicago White Sox beat the Athletics, 10-4, and the Detroit Tigets felled the Boston Red Sox. 7-5. Frank Gabler, National league castoff, won his first American league start, holding the As to seven hits in the American's best pitched game. Boze Berger I and Gerald Walker hit homers. The Chicago Cubs moved within I 2’ 2 games of the National league lead by blasting the Phillies, 21-2. while the Giants were losing to the Reds. 5-2. Phil Epperly. 19-year-old rookie, pitched a six-hit game for the Cubs. Augie Galan and Rip Collins hit homers in the Cubs 18-hit attack. With 12 runs I in the eighth, the Cubs fell only l two shy of the record. The Giants lost their first series when the Reds came from behind with a i three-run rally in the eighth to win. Mel Ott's wild throw set up i the Reds' winning rally. In the; other two games Pittsburgh beat ' Brooklyn, 4-2, and the oßston Bees ! won from the Cardinals. 5-2. Yesterday's hero: Johnny (Grandma) Murphy. Yankee relief pitcher who came in to snuff out a late rally by the Browns and to j drive in the two winning runs with

TEN HORSES TO HUN IN DERBY I Earl Sande Announces Stagehand Unable To Race In Derby i Louisville, Ky.. May 6. — (U.R) Ten horses and 85.000 racing fans i were assembled in Derbytown toi day for the 64th running of the i Kentucky classic and nearby, more i conspicuous than ever, was Stagei hand, the winter-long favorite who i will not run. "He's sick," said Earl Sande, i Stagehand s trainer, his voice shaki ing. "and 1 love him too much to i take a chance. He's out.” Gone were half a million, per- : haps a million dollars, wagered on him in the winter books. And gone too was something of the glamor, for the derby crowd needs a champion and if there was ever a horse counted in before a race, it was this stretch-running nag from the west. Not one but three horses nowstand out- Fighting Fox. Bull Lea and Dauber. So across the lobbies and beside i the bars, this biggest and loudest derby crowd in history argued the respective merits of three horses, where 24 hours ago they were all aged on otle. But Saturday afternoon every one of the 85,000 customers will be out at Chtirchill Downs in their tweeds and flagons to watch the field of ten get away. o CONSTITUTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) or not you know you are honor bound to be the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of the greatest and freest country on earth. “We want to grow older knowing that when you come of age you will say with love and loyalty: ‘I believe in a constitutional government. I have a constitutional government. I honor a constitutional government'.” The dedication address by Mr. Quinn was: "All over this broad land thougdtful people are giving serious attenlention to the Constitution of the Unied States, and never in our history is such attention more needed. , "We are very pround, we people of north eastern Indiana, of the i sound common sense and inherent I adherance to sound principles that have been and are evidenced here, j “Every man, woman and child I here ought to read the Constitution I and study it. It should be explained carefuly to every school child. Every one of us knows that this country of ours is mentally shivering under the attacks of the world gone mad and those attacks are directed against our noble ideas of civil and religious liberty. "It seems fantastic to say that there could be any possible danger 1 to the ‘people of his peaceful and I happy city but we must realize that I millions of people in foreign lands. I who have forgotten their God, for- ’ gotten the rights of man under i Christian standards as we know J them, have worked themselves into a frenzq of hatred for all the things that we of America hold most dear. “Apathy towards this menace is ' our greatest danger. None of us l need be unduly excited, perhaps too • apprehensive or nervous in "viewing with alarm” but we must put ourselves in a position to resist and . combat. None of us expect our great nation to disintegrate and perish 1 tut there aippears to be danger of its being made pretty sick. “We must in the face of all odds hold fast to our ideals of govern ment and our ideals of OhristiajiitLy lit is quite clear that the funda 3 mental ideas expressed in our Con ■ j stitution and Declaration of Inde

pendance are Identical with the ideas expressed in the "Sermon on the Mount. 1 "We must turn over a new leaf in America. The trouble is that in these latter years in our national life and especially in our national . political life we have left Almighty ' God out of our counsels. "The founders of this Republic did forget their God. The constitution of the United States came into being by the direct aid of Divine 1 Providence and there is no way to preserve this country except by re- ' fusing any longer to rely on futile materialisms and to consecrate our selves anew to a firmer hold upon ' Christian principles and the high ideals and methods that have made ' our great nation possible. "Right here in this city and section we have good, sound. Christian . and ‘patriotic people, to my way of thinking the soundest in the world, and if so, upon them really rests a grave responsibility and it is up to them to ibe more devout in their Christianity and cultivate a deeper lave and knowledge of the high : principles of their government. “It may seem disheartening to feel that the whole wide world is worse off today than ever in its long Christian history, because the spiritual aspirations of humanity seem to be in eclipse almost everywhere. .t is a challenge to the highminded to combat the terrific evils ot today and to have a high faith that a spiriual resurgance will come >n time to avert world disaster. “In America a religious and political revival must be evidenced. "The principles of the ‘rights of man' embodied in the Constitution of the United States are identical with the highest conceptions of Christianity. This nation has been . blessed by Almighty God. Gratitude to Him for His blessings seems to be a forgotten thing That this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom must be sought. "None can truly understand the noble principles upon which our government is founded unless they have an understanding of true Christian teachings. The two go hand in hand. Both must be taught and that teaching practiced if we are to have that spiritual resurance . that alone will save our civilization. In our own community we are bless- . ed outside the home, by two great . agencies. Those are the church and and the schools. A tremendous res- . ponslbillty rests upon the ministers . of the gospel and the teachers in our schools. The challenge is to them. I have lived in this town for many years. I have known its pasI tors of all faiths down through all i the long years and I say new earn- [ estjy and advisedly that at no time in the history of our community t have we had a higher or more able - group of ministers than at this very I minute, nor abler teachers of our - school children. These servants ot . the people truly merit fullest confidence and esteem. In the dreadful t menace of class materialism and r all its unhappy influences it is i heartening to know that these iut dniduals have the capacity and will lead back to better things. They - must have honest support from r every citizen and every school studv ent. This is a big world, with thousa ands upon thousands of communis ties with which we cannot come •. much in contact but we can come s in earnest and uplifting contact s with our own community. Here lives o ii great people. Their lives have der- ■ moustrated that. Is it not time for t them to act? 'lf it is done its Infilld ance will be felt. Our responsibility •t I then is right here at home. What h the rest of the world does may concern us, ot course, but our highest concern fe right here. We can s i liouseclean at home. If this certf* i- mony in honor of our Constitution iy will mean anything it will mean loyi- alty to your ministers and your i- church and loyalty to every teacher b- in your schools.”

JUNIOR SCHOOL FOR BASEBALL HERE SATURDAY Baseball School To Be Held At Worthman Field Saturday Decatur's first junior baseball school, directed by George Laurent, recently appointed supervisor of the city's recreation program, will be held at Worthman Field Saturday morning, starting at 9 o’clock.
