Guy Brown. Decatur high school principal, and Hugh Andrews, athletic directon Since some delay is inevitable In receiving the cable for the new lighting towers, officials of the school decided upon the postponement. The new opeing date has been set for September .10, when the Fort Wayne Central Tigers meet the Yellow Jackets here. The first game of the season, which was set for September 9 has been moved up to Tuesday, August 4 here. The dates with Bluton were switched, with the Jackets meeting the Tigers at Bluffton on September 16. which was to have been the Decatur, home date and the Parlor City lads returning here for the second game , on October 28.

1 ana. Three huge towers that reach 90 : feet into the air will be erected on the south side of the field, equlpp- ' ed with 1.500 watt bulbs. A total of 31.500 watts of light will play down upon the Decatur gridiron from the south side atttf 30,000 watts on the north side under the new set-up. The construction of the towers and placing of the lights will be such that an equal lighting effect will be produced on all sides and glare in the eyes of players and tans will be reduced to a minimum. Laying of the cable for the new lighting system will be done by the city light department crew with the city school boajd meeting part of the expense. The towers have already arrived and work is expected to go forward immediately, with the towers being erected over the week-end. i Although keen disappointment is ] being expressed on all sides be- , cause of the postponement, the ] improvement to Worthman Field ; and its added attractiveness is more than expected to make up for the delay. Building of the towers was decided upon to eliminate the necessity of taking up the poles each 1 spring and replacing them each ’ fall to make way for baseball | games at WorthTnan Field.

March, in which South Side of Fort Wayne defeated Hammond - for the championship, high school ! basketball coaches voted overwhel- 1 mingly in favor or returning to a 1 I 16-team final tourney. By indicating a date for the i semi finals in which 16 teams will 1 compete in four tournaments, the ' I board revealed that it will not 1 ' change the present system in use | for the past three years. The four-team championship 1 ] tournament was decided upon as--1 ter the 1935 event when there was widespread protest over the strain 1 i of some teams being compelled to I . play three games in one day. This 'year the coaches took the attitude that four consecutive week-ends of tournament play were too great a strain on the high school athletes and that the present semi-finals | should be eliminated. The board also announced that ■ ] sectional track meets will be held May 13 and the finals May 20.

TIGERS OUTHIT YANKS TO WIN SLUGGING FRAY Greenberg Homers To I Stay Ahead Os Bahe Ruth’s Record I New York. Sept. L--I(U.R> C° mP up on the platform Del Baker, and you. Hank Greenberg, you. Charley Gehrlnger, and all the rest of youi Detroit Tigers. Now tell the folks how to beat the New York Yam kees a job which is becoming the toughest task In baseball. Del Baker: "You've gotta outslug nn. That's the only way.” ' Hank Greenberg: “You've gotta outslug ’em. That's the only way. Charley Gehringer: "You've gotta] outslug ’em. That's the only way. That testimony is the unanimous , opinion of the Detroit ball club. , All the Tigers say the same thing ! and yesterday they proved it was the right way by plastering a 126 defeat on the Yanks, overpower- i ing them with sheer brawn. Pittsburgh's Pirates, fully recovered from their "pennant shakes" and on the high road to the Nat-1 ional league championship, might well take a tip from a Tiger in their preparations for the October world series. The Tigers laid down a 14-hit barrage, including six doubles and two homers to smother the Yanks. Greenberg No. 46 Hank Greenberg blasted homer No. 46—putting him six games and six days ahead of Babe Ruth's 1927 record-breaking pace — and two doubles. It was one of his greatest days in Yankee stadium, his jinx park. Charley Cehringer hit two doubles, Dixie Walker got a homer and a single. Pete Fox hit a double and two singles. York hit a double. The Tigers were giving the Yanks their own medi-, cine and making them like it. It was the first time since Aug. 2 the Yanks had lost ground in the pennant race. They had a full game shaved off their lead and now have to struggle along on a 14gatne margin, temporarily at least. The defeat snapped »a five-game Yankee winning streak. Bill Harris snapped the Boston Red Sox's three-game losing streak by pitching a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Ken Keltner's 23rd and 24th homers featured Cleveland's 8-6 victory over the Athletics. Johnny Whitehead allowed only four hits in pitching the Chi. ago White Sox to a .-0 triumph over Washington. Pittsburgh held its 6Li game lead in the National league by splitting a twin bill with the New York Giants. Manager Pie Traynor protested the first game won by the Giants. 6-5, because of a tangle of runners at third base in the sixfli inning and a misconstrued ruling. Pirates Get 16 Hits T)ie Pirates slugged out 16 hits to win the nightcap. 12-3. Catcher Al Todd's passed ball following a two-base wild throw by Lee Handley gave the Giants their winning tally in the opener. Scoring three runs in the ninth the Boston Bees continued their blazing pace in the west with a 6-4 ■ victory over the Chicago Cubs, j The loss dropped the Cubs to fourth place. Garins’ single tied the score and then Bill Lee forced I in the winning run with a walk with the bases loaded. The Cardinals nosed out the

Phillies twice. 21 in 10 Innings and 7-6. Enitnett Mueller's error in the 10th with the bases loaded permitted the Cards to score the winning run in the opener. Terry Moore's single with the bases jammed in the ninth won the nightcap. | The Cincinnati Reds moved into' third place with a 9-3 victory over' i Brooklyn in a night game. Yesterday's hero: Hank GreenI berg who hit homer No. 411 and two] doubles to pace Detroit to victory, over the Yankees. 0 T Grimes Refuses The Bambino’s Plea To Play Now And Then Brooklyn, Sept. 1.- .(U.R) — The mighty Bambino won't be back, j As a coach, yes; as a manager-1 iial prospect, perhaps; but as the] great home run hitter of old. Babe ■ i Ruth is through. That was the, 1 verdict today of "judge" Burleigh Grimes, who, as manager of the I Brooklyn Dodgers, is Babe's boss. Ruth the coach asked Burleigh to reinstate him as an active play |er so that he could get back in there occasionally for a swing as pinch-hitter. Burleigh said “no” and issued this statement: "Babe's a great coach, but he can't help either himself or bur 1 club in the line-up. He quit in 1935 because of that fading right eye.
