Several of the players who will be with Bismarck are young men with a good chance of going up to the big leagues. and they do not want to have a mark against their reputation ball play that they played with men “outlawed” for fixing ball games. The management and fans also be- lieve, in the interest of ¢lean sport, | that they should refuse to play with such a team. Secretary Keller, of the Bismarck team, has written to the Minot man- agement, cancelling previously ranged games.

TOURNAMENT OF BALL CLUB WILL FEATURE JULY 4 The Bismarck Athletic Association today announced its intention of hold- ing a big Fourth of July basebal tour- nament. Plans for the tournament are to be worked out immediately, There will be games on July 2, 3 and 4, with a double-header on the Fourth. The Elks band may hold a-street dance in connection with the tourna: ment. ‘ The special ommittee named after! a conference of representatives of sev- eral organizations today announced that sentiment. was againsl a general, ar-| Wilton will | i i { BY DEAN SNYDER, To Babe Ruth the word IMPOSSI- BLE is found only in vocabularies of |} one-cylinder minds.

'This spring in training he has shown the same tendency to lunge. He is as overanxious as a child. He expects to see evary ball ne swings at disappear over the barriers, Pitchers off whom he made his won- der record agree that if the Babe has a weakness at bat they have not found out what it is. He is apt to strike out, on a fast one, or a.slow one, during one inning. The next time he comes up he’ll pul- verize-the same kind .of pitching. Allis 1920 Record Babe made 172 hits in 1920. Of these 99 were for extra bases. He walked 148 times. He scored 168 runs. He drove in 137 runs. He struck out ‘80 times. His 54 home runs did not win as many games for the Yankees as one would think. The records show that only nine of his four-base drives ac- tually turned the tide of victory to the Yanks. Yet the psychology of slugging, which his pace set for his teammates caused ‘them to set a new team home- | min THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE run record of 115. During the season of 1920 he made home runs in every American League park, ‘ He is just as ambitious asche is pro- fic. i He has but one object when at the plate. ” Superlative Swing. Each time he swings he: puts every ounce of his'225 pounds of muscle and bone back of it. His crusade against pitchers this summer will be more interesting than watching the pennant races them- selves. It is the highest goal a human ever shot at. If he fails to hit 29—his 1919 world record—he'll be considered a bust. If he falls short of 54 there will be no sting of defeat attached to it other than his own keen disappointment in himself. No.other ball player of today enter- tains even wild dreams of being his competitor. Babe has not yet:learned the mean- ing of the word IMPOSSIBLE.

This danger signal is evidence that too much borrowing is going on for purposes which cannot possibly pay in the long run. It is only a short time,until the crash comes in one industry, and then spreads to another and another until all are affected During the early house-cleaning and period of readjustment, there is not enough money to go around, but as liquidation progresses and people save more,,money again becomes plentiful for legitimate needs.
