PACK EIGHT A I Wednesday, June 6, Commies-Solons Chart Twin Bill For Sunday I Fans to See Rivals dash in Four Games This Trip Instead of Scheduled Three. Decatur and Springfield baseball fans unable to see their teams clash under the best of conditions in the first series of the year in the Capital City have a big week end before them if the weatherman will-just get down to earth. Officials of the two dubs got their heads together and decided to stage a doubleheader Sunday at Fans Field which will permit the fans in the two 'cities to have a big afternoon for that la generally the case when the two clubs are scheduled to meet. PLAY FOUR GAMES. The first game of the series will be played Friday and so will the Saturday contest, the two rivals winding up the set with the two barrelled explosion on Sunday afternoon.

Two hundred and fifty box seals have been sent to Springfield for the Solon boosters but with a decent day from six to eight hundred fans should make the trip over here from the Capital City. Local fans will be able to make their box reservations at the USUH! places, the Bell Drug Co. on North Main street; and the Roth Johnson Co. on North Water street, Thursday. The two clubs stand one and one lor the first two battles, the Commies pounding three Solon hurlers last Saturday for an easy victory while the Solons nosed the Dessau tribe out Sunday, 6 to 5, despite the fact the Commies pounded Kimpling all over the ball yard.

GET A TOUGH BREAK. Local officials as well as those in Bloomington received a tough break for their scheduled exhibition games the Pittsburgh Pirates at Farts Field on Wednesday, June 27, and the St. Louis Cardinals in the Evergreen City. The tax cut which was recently put over in Washington to take off war tax on admissions, three dollars and under does not go into effect until midnight of the 28th. Had It have been made to take effect a few hours earlier the Commie and Bloomer officials would have saved several hundred dollars.

Vet Hurler Fans 10 But Is Losei: Bad First Frame Enables Bloomers to Cop. Danville, 111., June "Lefty" Grabowski can live to see the day that his first inning Jinx is shot full of holes and dumped in the ash can for keeps, he will take his. rightful place with the leading I. I. I.

league pitchers. Until that day arrives however, he is a sure bet for place if he cares to claim the honor of pitching in the toughest kind of Out at Home field Tuesday afternoon, on a diamond that was heavy and under a sky that contained many dark and heavy clouds, put forth a masterful exhibition oi southpaw chucking after the first round. But the first inning jinx made it possible for Spud Campbell's Bloomers to snare the long end of a 3 to 2 count. BloommgUn counted two of its three runs in the Initial frame and clubbed out three of the six hits the ex-Rochester slabman permitted. FAIL TO BUNCH BLOWS.

While Grabowski was turning back the enemy inning after inning, his mates tried but failed to give him any great amount of support from the hitting end, while an error gave the Bloomers their third tally. "Hippo" Pott gave the locals plenty of trouble for eight frames and then his left-handed slants failed to fool the first two batters in the nimn and he finished the game in the dus- out with Henninger. a right handrr, dishing out an excellent job of relief hurling in order to make It possible for Pott to claim the victory. Outside of the first frame Grabowski w.as by far the best pitcher to show during the dark afternoon. He showed the boys a fast one that In the end brought ten strikeouts Twice he whiffed the entire side and once he chalked four consecutive whiffs.

He was simply a great flinger for eight frames. Danville got to Pott for ten safeties before he retired but the blows were scattered over eight inninus, which shows that the big flinger was bearing down in the clinches. The Veterans didn't die without a struggle, however, as the tieing run was on second when Henninger sent over a called third strike on Murphy to end the game. AB. H.

It was a day not well suited for ither playing or watching the national pastime, and the result was that the game was witnessed by only about 500 shivering cash customers. The Brownies garnered a total ol seven hits, just one less than Bucky Harris' squad, but they could nol connect with the puzzling slants of Braxton's curves when hits were leeded. Bettencourt, who starred in lis first game as a member of the 3rowns Saturday, got one hit, but failed to come through in the pinch when the bases were loaded in the inning.

An other occupant of the automobile which was a Ford tounnK car, wa Cornelius Ryan, to whom the car be longed, but who was riding in th rear seat with Miss Gilbert, whil Walters drove. According to the story told by Mis Gilbert, who with. Ryan and Walter was only slightly hurt, bright light blinded Walters, and a moment late the car turned over in the ditch pinning the four beneath it.

The car was righted by Carol Key nolds and Pomeroy Clark, passin motorists, and the Ill-fated quarte was released. Ryan was taken: to hi home by another and th other three were taken-to the hos pital Miss Laughlln's chest was found be crushed. DUE TO "PETTING It is believed Irfiss Laughlin's deat. was due directly to a "petting party 'in progress in a car parked near th intersection of route 16 and the ol brick road running north. The brigh lights of this unidentified car bltade the driver ol the death car, causing him to miss the curve at that pom and strike the soft dirt.

Spoonin narties are said to be common a that point. No one from the parke car came to the aid of the injura people.

Strange Turn In NetWorld Retirement of JoKnston Recalls Deeds. By ALAN J. GOULD. (Associated Press Sports Editor.) New York, June the same week that Little Bill Johnston's definite retirement from competitive tennis is" made known, the Californian's off-time rival and comrade- in-arms, Big Bill Tilden. is to set forth as the guide of youth in a new Davis cup quest.

The domain of tennis or any sport has had a few stranger turns than this. Eight years ago Little Bill and Big Bill, youths themselves then in the competitive sense, although also champions, made the last American Davis cup pilgrimage to Europe together. HAD GREAT RECORD. In eight years Tilden and Johnston figured in only three losing Davis cup matches. There has not been 'any may never' be any international record to match theirs, great though the present French combination of Lacoste and Cochet looms.

Johnston 'went out with a crash last September at Germantown. Little Bill's retirement was taken for granted after the debacle against tha French. He was only a pale shadow of the once famous mighty atom. Big Bill; despite seven defeats in two years at the hands of the Lacoste- Cochet combination, is not vet through, In fact Tilden: in defeat last year, was close to as great as he ever lias been. TILDEN IMPROVES.

Nine years ago Tilflen and Johnston first met in the finals for the national singles championship. Little Bill won but it was the last time. Why? Because for months afterward Tilden devoted hours daily to perfection of a backhand stroke, his weakness against Johnston. He developed probably the greatest offensive backhand shot tennis has ever known. "It was the difference between my backhand of 1919 and that of 1920 plus additional experience, that enabled me to win the Wimbledon tournament, carrying with it the world's title at that time, and later the American championship," said Tilden.

The New York promoter, with an eye to the effect of the new tax law on the price of tickets for his big boxing extravaganzas, including the Tunney-Heeney heavy-weight battle this summer, declared he had instructed his lawyers to contest the constitutionality of the -new levy, effective June. 29, on the ground that it is class legislation and excessive taxation. Rickard declared he hoped -to have a test case of the law carried through to prompt decision, perhaps by first seeking an injunction. If unsuccessful, Rickard disclosed, his plans are to charge a top price of $45, including all taxes, for ringside seats for the Tunney-Heeney fight, which is expected to be held July 26 at the Yankee Stadium. This would include taxes totaling 30 per cent, including a state tax of 5 per cent, and leave Rickard with a return of about $30 for each ringside seat sold.
