Yellow Jackets Defeat Hartford City Tuesday Night By 19 To 6 Score

The Decatur Yellow Jackets unlimbered their throwing arms for a little assistance, and coupled with good, hard tootball, handed the Hartford City Airdales a 19-6 thumping at Worthman field last night. The play on the field was more one sided by far than the final score indicates, as the Jackets forward wall made the bigger Airdale line look a lot smaller, and the backfield ran over, around and through the opposition. Decatur gained a total of 273 yards and picked up 13 first downs. £ Running accounted for 147’ yards while the passes gained 126. - The Yellow Jackets started right out to win. Hartford City kicked oft to Decatur, and Gene Baxter brought the ball back to the Decatur 42. Three running plays and a pass made it third down and eight yards for the first down for Decatur, with the hall on the Hartford City 44. Then the Jackets took to the air as

Why settle for less than Blue Chip performance?

It doesn’t take a new GMC owner long to spot the difference —especially If he’s just switched from another make truck. Take the way every Blue Chip GMC is “engined”. An ultra-modern power plant gives him flashing response, sparkling roadpace —and record fuel economy. Hydra-Mafic* is another eye-opener. Right away he appreciates its time and effort saving in traffic. And later on, he cashes in on the big maintenance savings. And every trip he can carry a bigger load. For GMC chassis are rugged—GMC axles are extra-capacity. So he hauls more—and hauls it comfortably. GMC tabs are man-size and deep-

Baxter connected with Ted Hutker, who had a field day on both offense and defense, for 25 yards to the Airdale 19. A run lost two yards, and then Baxter hit Hutker again for 21 yards and a touchdown. Tony Kelly's try for PAT was blocked and the score was Decatur 6, Hartford City 0. The Airdales managed one first down when they got the ball, and then the Jacket line solidified and forced them to punt. Kelly made a nice runback of the kick, and Decatur had the ball on the Airdale 45. Six plays later, Larry Moses twisted and squirmed 8 yards for another touchdown. The big play in this drive was a 17 yard pass and run from Kelly to Baxter. This time, Tony tallied, and the score was 13-0. Hartford City got another first down and again the Jacket line held as the first quarter ended. The Jackets continued to play fine football, but the breaks of the game were going against them. On the first play after Decatur took over, Larry Moses sped 29 yards for the longest run of the game and gave Decatur a first down on the Hartford City 33. On the next play, the Airdales picked a Jacket fumble out of the air and returned to the 50 yard line. Again the Decatur line held and the Jackets took over on their own 43. A Kelly to Hutker pass brought the ball to the Airdale 39, and two runs took it to the 30. From there, fast Fred Schott popped through the line and dashed all the way, only to have the play called back for a holding penalty. The rest of the first half was bn exchange of punts, with Kelly coming out best in the kicking duel. The third quarter saw both teams battle frustration for a while. Decatur kicked off to Hartford City? and Jack Macklin dropped the ball carrier hard enough to force a fumble. Fred’ Schott fell on the ball, and Decatur took over on the Airdale 28. A Kelly to Baxter pass put the ball on the 17, but .on .the next play, Hartford City recovered a DeqatqrLfprobJe. The ArdaMte webe enable to gain and kicked to their own 48 yard line.

and Hutker combined for a 25 yard pass play to put the ball on the H. C. nine. Two plays later, Moses shot into the end zone. Again the Airdale line broke through and blocked Kelly's try tor the extra point. The fourth quarter was an exchange of punts until H. C. caught fire. Decatur drove to the Airdale 33, but a clipping penalty brought it gack to the 48 and called for a punt. Hartford City took over on their own 17, and started to roll, in six plays, they moved to the Jacket 10, and Jim Bratton went the rest of the way. Big John Iseh stopped the run for the extra point, and the scorp was 19-6, Decatur. The Jackets were content to hold onto the ball and ran out the clock. The Jackets are now three wins and no losses for the season. The big one is next Friday against the big, fast, tough Garrett Railroaders at Worthman field at 7:30. Another large crowd was on hand to see the Jackets handle the Hartford City team last night.

Yanks Clinch Flag, Braves / n Gain On Bums By CARL LUNDQUIST (United Press Sports Writer) The proud old Yankees, pennant winners again tor the 22nd time in 36 years, completed one more champagne campaign today, but the tummy bubbles in that mad National League race were caused by just plain anxiety. The cup of victory was doublybubbly for the Yankees in their celebration. For it was Mickey Mantle who clinch it all with his 50th homer In the 11th inning that provided a 3-2 victory over the White Sox. That made him the only man besides Babe Ruth, who ever reached that magic figure in a Yankee uniform. Moreover, the Yankees beat the only club with a mathematical chance to tie them and they beat them on their home ground, and with their best pitcher, Billy Pierce on the mound. There was measured happiness tor the Milwaukee Braves. They rose to within one percentage point of first place Brooklyn, with a 6-4 victory at Pittsburgh, produced on the margin of Johnny Logan’s tworun single in the eighth, and saved by Bill Bruton's over-the-head catch of a ninth inning center field line drive with two Pirates on base. But in Brooklyn there were only dregs of despair. Ken Boyer hit a two-run homer in the ninth to give St. Louis a 6-5 triumph in a game where the Dodgers had climbed courageously from behind to lead briefly in the seventh on a two-run homer by Gil Hodges. Boyer’s blast came with two out. In two previous games where the Redlegs rose to challenge with two out in the ninth the Dodgers came back to win. But they weren’t equal to the bounce Tuesday night Brooklyn still has a game advantage in the lost column and has two more games to play that Milwaukee, which gives the Dodgers a bigger winning potential. But now they w6re virtually tied again, whereas they had been a game in front. Cincinnati faced virtual elimination. The Redlegs dropped two at Philadelphia where Curt Simmons and Robin Roberts gained 4-3 and 7-4 pitching triumphs. Wally Post hit two homers in the first game and Ed Bailey blasted a three-run homer in the spcond for Cincinnati, but again the Redlegs found they could not do it on power alone. They’re now 4>4 games out with only nine more to play. The Braves had jitters again at Pittsburgh and blew a 3-0 lead aa Lew (Best Bet) Burdette was kayoed for the third straight time. But old pro Logan came through with the big hit and Bruton saved it Herb Score struck put 14 to win his 18th game, a four-hitter and Mike Garcia followed with a threehitter to give Cleveland 1-0 and 6-0 triumphs over Washington, while Lou Skizas hit p ninth inning horn er to defeat the Red Sox, 6-5, at Kansas City despite three hits including a homer by Ted Williams. Ray Boone's grand slam homer gave Detroit a 6-2 margin over Baltimore and 11 wins in 12 games In the other AL game. The Giants, paced by Jackie Brandt who drove in five runs with tour hits, including a homer, defeated Chicago. 8-2. after the Cubs took the first game, 4-2, on a four-hitter by Bob Rush. Indianapolis Wins Semifinal Playoffs By UNITED PRESS Pennant - winning Indianapolis advanced to the American Association championship playoffs Tuesday night with a 2-1 victory, over Minneapolis to win the best-of-sev-»n semifinal playoffs, 4-3. Joe Altobelli’s seventh inning home run won the game and paved he way for the Indians to meet Denver in the league’s champion <hip finals. Denver gained a final berth Sunday night by winning its series with Omaha. The best-of-seven final playoff will open at Indianapolis tonight Monmouth Winner In Cross Country Meet The Monmouth Eagles won a three-way cross country meet at the Decatur Golf course, defeating Adams Central and Pleasant Mills.

50-Yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER . Well, they finally got out of first gear and into second - but there's still third and maybe even overdrive. Last night was a good example of football, hard, clean and spirited, but this team is only beginning to realize its potential. One nice thing to see, these boys are finding out that football can be played hard and with a will to win, and still be a lot of fun. By now, everyone, including the players, knows that Garrett is tough. They aren’t unbeatable though. Decatur can beat them if they continue to play hard, block hard and tackle hard. The Jackets ,have gained enough ground in the first three games to prove they have the plays. They’ve scored eight touchdowns while giving up only two. They can play defense too. It’s a matter of playing like they can when they’re up against real competition. The passing game was nice to see last night. The Jackets threw 13 times, completed seven, and had two intercepted. They gained 126 yards in the air. Ted Hutker caught tour of the passes, one tor a touchdown. Hutker and Ballard have both been good at ends, Ty hasn’t been as-much of a target as “Huk," but he’s done a lot of blocking and played a fine defensive,game. Gene Baxter runs harder every game. He's not as fast as Moses, but he sure makes it tough on the tacklers. Tony Kelly, an offensive threat last year, has also turned into a fine defensive player and blocker. At six foot, two inches. Tony is tall enough to kiiock down passes to any fend. His kicking has been another bright spot on the team. The team certainly has the right to be proud of last night’s game. They improved over the New Haven game. There are still six games to go. though, and to feel proud of them, they’ll have to play the same and better. The outcome of the game isn’t too important except that if tbis team plays their best, they should beat any team around. The more wins thCy get. the harder they’ll be to get. Friday night certainly won’t be any time for a letdown.

Install Yankees As Betting Favorites NEW YORK (UP) — The magic name of the Yankees installed them as automatic favorites to win the World Series with the bookmakers, no matter who their National League opponents may be. In spite of the fact the Yankees lost the series last year to the Dodgers and that the National League not only has two straight triumphs in the World Series, but also in the All-Star game, the New Yorkers are the choice. If the Dodgers are their opponents, the Yankees will be favored at 6-7. Against Milwaukee the price now is 7-8 and against Cln. cinnati 7%-8)4.
