Despite usual superiority of the Fort Wayne teams, the Decatur Yeßaw Jackets have held their share of conference titles The last championship won by Decatur in football was in 1935 Basketball title* were also won by the Yellow Jackets a number of years ago.

Oet I.— «JJ» — The world series opens here tomorrow (eselusive) and the only thing more certain about It than that Judge Landis will arrive needlag a hairent. Is that the Cincinnati Rede will win. The Detroit Tigers have been made the betting favovltes at 9 to 7 but those odds are as phoney as an umpire's smile. And I'll give you seven or eight reasons to prove it. In the drat place, the Reds have the pitching and If that doesn't give them an edge then every baseball authority from Abner Doubleday down to Tullulah Bankbead Is a Bar. The first thing that a baby in this country Is told is that pitching Is 72 percent of winning baseball. The Rede have Derringer. Walters. Thompson. Tar- , nor and Beggs to toe against the

I Tigers, and all the Tigers have to answer with are Rowe Newsom, and Bridges After these three are used up Detroit will have to appeal I to the stands for help. In the se<ond place, the National league Just can't go on losing world series to the American lea- | gue forever The Nationals have ' tost live straight and It’s a long ; worm that has no turning Beside*, i president Ford Frick has Issued ; strict orders against the Nationals losing this year and he isn't one ] to countenance disobedience In the third place. Ernie Lombardi. tltank Red* catcher. Is»s a sprained ankle that la hurting him something terrible It is hurting him so badly that he has found h Impossible to get a wink of sleep, and I figure this a* the beat thing that could have happened to the i Reds Because a wide awake Lombardi. one unable to take a snooie at home plate, gives the Reds a big edge. Had launbardl been un able to sleep last year the Reds might well have woo the series from the Yankees Thia year an aching ankle will serve as an alarm clock and k-ep Ernie In action The Reds will be the inspired , team this series And their Inspiration will come from a fear of what the hometown < ustomers are likely to do to them if they take another licking. Cincinnati's citltens have not forgotten that fourstraight banging the Yankees hand ed their heroes a year ago Let the Reds do another nosedive and the enraged customers might come right down out of the stands and start playing a gam* of mans hare and hounds Another factor that will work to the Reds advantage is the age of the Detroit infield. Eia< t statistics are not available but I believe the average age of the Tiger Inner line of defense Is something like R7 and that two nf the members of It will have to be eicused from play In the fourth game to celebrate golden wedding anniversaries The series should go sii games with Cincinnati winning the first one. S to I. The Tigers will take the second I to 3. but the Reds will take tbe neat two. 3 to 1 and 4 to 2. The Tigers will pull up to 2-3 by winning trfe fifth, but the series will end with the nest game when the Red* do their only real hitting in the series and win 9 to 2. Further sure ire predictions are that first baseban McCormick will be ths standout player of tbe serie*. with Detroit's Gehringer a clone second. Bobo Newsom will get hit by a batted ball, a Mrs. Edward Pumpton will catch the two first foul balls bit Into tbe stands, and Derringer will give up three hits In the opening game. ■ i gii i “Dream’' Auto 22 Cars in One Cleveland.
