ew PE] S of Sport ets AND GOSSIP FOR ee: FANS fo BISMARCK CLUB. TAKES PAIR OF GAMES Charley Boardman Humbled in the First One Here Sunday in Fast Game CUNNINGHAM QUITS ’EM Jimmy Doesn’t Survive Bom; bardment—Locals Come From —Behind to Win Justi about the sweetest way to win a ball game is for a team to come behind to do it. ‘And that’s the way Bismarck won from Wilton Labor day, the second win in two days. The score was 12 to 6. With the score tied, Capt. Dol- ly Elders wicked willow wallopers went to bat in the ninth and slammed in six runs. Bismarck’s club has won a lot of games that way this season. The locals seem to have a habit of spotting the other side a few runs. Behind right along to the eighth inning, the AGAINST WILTON RAR eee The score was 6 to 1, and its pretty tough. that Al didn’t get a shut-out for he sure pitched well enough to ly deserve it. There’s a few things in the game which the Bismarck players who are back next year might remember. There some shifty base steppers on the local team, but they haven’t exer- cised their talents much along. the base-stealing line. They did Sunday, and they pushed some runs acrost and put Charley Boardman away up in the air. Harper Scores The locals pushed a marker across the home plate in the very first in ning. Charley took a position on the slab like Dangerous Dan McGrew, and he hurled a wicked ball. Ster- ling punctured a_ windshield with fouls while trying to solve Charley's delivery and then fanned. Elder, sec- ond man up, made Charley grunt a couple of times with fouls. Harper’s keen eye got him a free trip to the keystone sack. He stole, and went to third on a wild pitch. He scored when Boardman took Franky's grounder and heaved it over first. Bismarck’s big inning was in the third, the only other inning’ in whict the locals. scored. With one out, Bismarck players didn’t give up. They were out to get Cunningham's goat, and they got it. Jimmy Cunningham has suffered Ditter defeat more than once at Bis- marck’s hands. He may have thought he was going to win Monday. Need- ham got away to a bad start.. With some breaks. Wilton made three hits in the first inning and four in the second getting six runs in the two innings. After that “Lefty” pitched great ball; allowing but three scatter- ed hits and no runs. Al’s Long Hit i When Al Anderson hit a ball so hard in the ninth that he touched home plate by the time the fielder touched the ball, Wilton quit. Jim- my Cunningham had already quit. Some one ought to inform Cun- ningham of what's going on in the baseball world. He evidently hadn’t read that Carl Mays killed Ray Chap- man with a pitched ball, or that 2 player. in South Dakota suffered a fractured skull by being hit by a pitched ball. Cunningham pitched bean balls steadily. He hit Christy and M. Anderson, and he took special pains, apparently, to aim at Sterling’s head. That was bad enough but Jim- my made it all the worse by quitting cold in the ninth inning. Cunningham didn’t deliberately and consistently throw the ball at the Bismarck batters’ heads. If he didn’t we apologize. It looked as if he did. and if,so, he ought to be barred from every ball’ park in the Missouri’ Slope. That’ Big Inning But to get back to; that one big the same inning Boardman’ and Blder slammed one to short | Manley were doubled, Harper to Ster- inning. and was, safé. Cunningham had brought R. ‘Manley, a fielder into short. Cunningham qpit, going to sec- ond base, and Drummond taking the hill. Harper got a. two-bagger, scor- ing Elder. Frariky,, ’ol _ reliable, smashed a wicked drive to ¢ a home run. Flinn then went on the mound. Somehow, it didn’t seem right, but he struck out Miller An- derson. and Christy a single. A. Anderson then hit his remarkable: long drive to left: for a homer and that ended the Lignite City’s afternoon enter- tainment. Cunningham was not the only man to quit. disgusted at kicks on threw down his mask. his right arm to advantage: by th’ ing a man out at the plate from r field. Dolly Elder, Harper ane Sterling played mighty fast ball in the infield, and the whole team had the necessary fight. ‘A lot of local fans went up to see the game. The team plays one,more game before the end. The team went to Linton today and then disbands. —* Sunday’s Game_ | % Christy used row: ” There’s' Casey at the bat, Merkle’s boner and a few other baseball, “clas- sics” well known to all. fans. But we've a little classic all’ of our own today. And it will be rehearsed many times in the stove’ league this ‘win- ter. It’s “Christy” “Christensen’s slide. A lot of people ’ll differ’ on their description of that momentous ef- fort, which came in the fifth inning of Sunday’s game. Of course, Christy got there. That's his. main’ point. But ours is how he did it. Christy got on first on a ffelder’s choice. Tough luck robbed ‘him of a hit. Chris- ty was cavorting off first and! was trapped. That is Wilton thought Christy was trapped. But Wiltom didn’t know Christy. It does, now. Charley Boardman threw to first’ a3 Christy was. going back. The ball caromed nicely off Christy’s shoulder and bounded’ past’ first. And Christy bounded off toward second. He may have stopped in a gopher hole or just got tired. Anyway Christy. felt down a few fect from the bag. But. he didn’t stop. He scrambled: to the bag, making a mighty grab for it There’s the crawl stroke in swimming and some compare Christy’s effort to that. And there’s the shimmy, and Christy looked a lot like he was in- troducing the shimmy in baseball. Anyway the crowd liked it, and the fans are mighty glad to know Christy is now a resident of Bismarck, and they hope he will continue in the lumber business here next summer. He’s a lot of life for a baseball team. Its too bad that great slide had to _ Come in the game it did, for there was so much glory in that game that there oughtn’t to be any counter-at- traction.

Cun- ningham scoring. , The game, aside from one of two innings, was one: of the best played in Bismarck ‘this year. Some fast fielding was produced’ by: both: sides. The fast play of the game, which some fans didn’t) see, was fast handling of grounder \by Sterling. Pete Lei, lin right for Wilton, contributed a circus catch, robbing Harper of 2 ‘hit’ and’ turning a: somersault, also having to tip his hat to the crowd.

Anderson pitched a steady game urroughout,, allowing’ only seven hits; Nordland got a two-bagger and most of the drives of the Wilton men went to safe spots in the infield. Boardman had a big strike-out record, 14, and he suffered because Flinn couldn’t catch him, but: he deserved to lose, for in the fifth inning, when hits were needed Bismarck produced lost “very few and two of them have been against Bismarck.
