ASPIRANTS FOR GRID TEAM ARE WORKING DAILY Decatur Yellow .Jackets Preparing For Season Opener Sept. 9 Pointing toward the first game of the 1938 football season at Worthman • Field here September 9, Head Coach Hugh Andrews today Intensified his efforts to whip u whining combination from the half a hundred aspirants for the , Decatur high school eleven. Thirty-seven boys reported for uniforms Monday morning at the high school and went through a few limbering up exercises. This morning and afternoon these same lads were given a series of drills and body contact exercises to toughen them up for the hard nine game schedule that Iles ahead. Workouts this morning indicated that Coach Andrews and his assistant, Deane Dorwin, will not have a wealth of material, but much is expected of about a score of the boys. Last year's lettermen and a few of the more promising reserves from last year's squad are expected to form the nucleus of this year's aggregation, with sevrtal newcomers expected to give the veterans stiff competition Jor firststring berths. Coach Andrews stated that before the opening of school, the

NATIONAL LOOP TEAMS FAIL TO ’ GAIN ON LEADER Pittsburgh Pirates Likely To “Back” Into League Pnnant Chicago. Aug. 24 — (U.R) — The j National league pennant race, us-. ually raging at white heat at this i stage of the campaign, is gradually j disintegrating into one of those ‘ “what of-it and who cares" affairs. I Pittsburgh is definitely backing j into the pennant, and the other j three first division clubs are drift- j ing along with the backwash Even without any heat on them from the rear the Pirates are playing like a team frantically close to a .complete collapse. A threatening gesture from any one of the three runners-up might result in panic in their ranks. But so far the Giants. Reds and Cubs have given no serious indication of challenging. During the past month the Reds have played the best ball among the four clubs but haven’t been hot enough to gain any ground in the pennant race. The records since July 25 follow: * W L Cincinnatil6 13 Pittsburghls 13 New York -13 14

It also will be one of the youngest teams ever to represent the United States. Budge and Mako are 22; Hunt and Riggs, 20. The squad was announced last night by the U. S.

On the second run over the glist-' ening salt track the electric timer failed to function. The average o' two runs is necessary to coostitute ' a record. Captain Eyston and all observers j were satisfied that he had surpassed his old land speed record of 311.42 miles an hour, established here last summer. The electric eye failed ' . to function as the big Thunderbolt i roared into the measured mile, itl was said. o . Mrs. Kenneth Arnold visited in I Fort Wayne this afternoon.
