Jackets Play Second Home Game Friday “We’re going to try” is the gen-1 eral feeling among the Decatur high school Yellow Jacket football squad as they drill daily for the toughest game of the season with Auburn high school Red Devils Friday night at 8 o'clock at Worthman field. The light Jacket squad will meet the' team considered to be the best in northern Indiana, and while all the local players are in good condition. there is about 25 pounds difference per man in the weight of the two elevens. Coach Worthman is drilling the Jacket backfield on some speed plays and passes on the theory that the visiting line will be too heavy to penetrate for many consistent gains. . Coach Zeke Young, who has a long and successful record in football tactics, has a team of veterans which ranks close to the top in Indiana gridiron circles. I Auburn has played two games] this season, defeating Columbia City, 39-2, and Concordia, 50-0. The local team Jias shown consistent improvement and coach Worthman has uncovered a half dozen reserve players who are making it tough for the regulars and fans can look for a lot of substituting Friday night. Worthman and assistant coach Deane Dorwin are instituting a program of B team football and tag . football for the prospective grid material, and within a few years, more material should be football conscious by the time the students arrive in high school. Tickets for the Auburn game will be on sale Friday night 45 minutes before game time and the Decatur high school band will be on hand to furnish music before the scrap and between halves. 0 Undivided love for God prompts us to passionate love for others. —Owen. o Trude in n Good T« >n n — Hern (nr

Brooklyn Only Two Games From National Flag New York, Sept. 18—(UP)—j They (galled Burton Shotton a baseball graybeard and said that , the “nice old guy” would never I click at managing the Brooklyn, Dodgers because he wouldn't gamble as did his flamboyant predecessor, Leo Durocher. Today those second guessers realized how wrong they had been. The "nice old guy" and his Dod-, ger kids stood on the threshold of a glorious and well-earned National league pennant triumph. Not as noisy about his exploits as was Durocher, Shotton played the race with a poker face and there were many times, such as last night, when he came up with an ace as the opposition expected a deuce. Shotton gambled last night with his big problem right-hander, Hal Gregg, who had been ineffective since early in the season, and his faith was rewarded as the firebailer pitched a six-hit, 4 to 2 triumph over the last place Pirates at Pittsburgh. Hank Behrman, another hurler with whom Shotton gambled and won this season, was turned back to the Dodgers when he failed to make good after being traded to Pittsburgh. Last night he avenged the snub. Relieving Gregg who faltered in the eighth, Behrman came in with one run in. a man on base and one man out and struck out the Pirate home run twins, Ralph Kiner and Hank Greenberg. He went on to | hold the Bucs hitless in the ninth. I Rookie Jackie Robinson, still an- i other on whom Shotton and Rickey [ gambled, led the Dodgers to victory by hitting a homer and a double. Meanwhile, the collapsing Cardinals dropped their fifth straight game, moving 9% games behind Brooklyn and leaving the Dodgers needing only two more victories in their remaining 11 games to clinch the flag. The third place Braves topped the Cards, 10 to 8 at St. Louis, getting off to a 7 to 0 lead, then coasting in. Johnny Mize hit his 48th and 49th homers to tie Kiner for the major league lead as the Giants divided at Chicago, winning 9 to 3 on 16 hits, then losing a weird 12 to 10 decision when Bill Nicholson hit a two run homer in the last of the ninth. The Giants tied up the second game at 10-all in the ninth with a six run rally after Chicago made five runs in the eighth. Lefty Johnny Vandermeer won his ninth game and his third shutout of the campaign, holding the* Phils to four hits in a 12 to 0 decision at Cincinnati in which the Reds made 14 hits, six of them doubles. Joe (Burrhead) Dobson of the

Red Sox missed a no-hitter only by the margin of Walt Judnich s broken bat single in the seventh in a 5 to 0 second game victory which followed a 9 to 4 decision for the Browns in the opener. Ted Williams took the American league lead in homers by hitting his 30th in the first game. Allie Reynolds won his 18th game and fourth shutout, 5 to 0 over the White Sox at New York, 'l He struck out nine as he scored I his 12th decision against two losses lin Yankee stadium. j The Athletics came from behind | to win 6 to 4 and 8 to 6 decisions I over the Tigers at Philadelphia, knocking Detroit, out of second place. Al Gettel scattered six hits to give the Indians a 7 to ft victory ■ over the Senators at Washington. Cleveland sewed up the game in the sixth on five runs which came across on a walk, a double and four singles. Yesterday’s star —Joe Dobson of the Red Sox. who pitched a one-hit, 5 to 0 victory over the Browns. 0 O O | Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.)
