Jackets Beat Bluffton Nine By 11-8 Score Scoring in all but one inping, the Decatur Yellow Jackets registered their second sraight Northeastern Indiana conference victory Wednesday afternoon by defeating the Bluffton Tigers, 11-8, at Worthman field. The Jackets were scheduled to meet the New Haven Bulldogs at Worthman field this afternoon with the conference championship hanging on the outcome. Decatur is the only undefeated team in the NEIC to date and a triumph this afternoon would give the Jackets the undisputed loop baseball championship. The Jackets were forced to halt a late Bluffton rally to register their win yesterday. Decatur held an 11-5 lead after six innings of play but the Tigers tallied three times in the seventh and had two men on base when Thomas, who relieved Bohnke in the final inning, fanned Kyle for the third out. The Jackets counted four times in the second on walks to Grant and Plumley, a fielder’s choice, a double by Wefel and a single by Lehrman. Grant’s triple and an infield out were good for a tally in the third. Bohnke's triple, following walks to Plumley and Busse, gave the Jackets two more in the fourth. Singles by Lehrman and Ogg, after walks to Sautbine and t Plumley, were good for a pair in the fifth, and the Jackets wound up their scoring in the sixth with a singleton on hits by Bohnke and Wefel. Plumley, Decatur leadoff man, walked four times in as many turns at the plate and scored three runs. Lehrman, Bohnke and Wefel each contributed two hits. Lehrman drove in three of the Decatur runs, tyohnke two, and Wefel, Sautbine and Jennings one each.

South Takes Lead In Cubs' Series The South defeated the North, 7-5, in the third game of the series between the two Decatur Cub Scout softball teams. The South now leads in the series, two games to one. TOP DEMOCRATS TO (Cont. rrom “age One) by Robert F. Wagner, Democrat,

a man so ill he has not been in the senate for a couple of years Wagner will not be a candidate for re-election. If the Democrats can hold that senate seat in 1950 and win the governorship from the Republicans, they will have a good start toward the presidential contest in 1952.
