THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BOTH NEW “YORK TEAMS LOSE GAMES Pittsburgh Made It Three Straight from Giants; Chicago Beat Yanks CUBS TROUNCE PHILLIES Tris Speaker's Indians and Ty Cebb’s Tigers Both Registered Wins (By the A ociited Press) Chicago, Aug. 1—St. Louis clubs in both major leagues today contin- ued trudging pennant-ward. ‘The Browns won ‘from the Red Sox 6 to 2° and increased their lead over the Yankees, who lost another close tilt to the White Sox 3 to 2 to a game and a half. The Cardinals, finding Dutch Rue- ther, the Brooklyn ace easy, march= ed_on to another victory over the’ Dodgers and crept to within half a game of the leaders when the Giants succumbed to the dashing spirited attack of the Pirates and dropped the third straight contest to them 12 to 5. And the Cubs, still harboring pen- nant hopes pounded an easy victory | cut of the Phillies 13 to 5, thereby staving ,off the tantalizing Reds,! who, with Luque’s combination of hitting and pitching defeated the Braves 6 to 3. A feature of the Cub- Phillies game was the home runs of | the Phillies. Williams, Lee and Hen- line eachi accounted for one. The White Sox victory over the Yankees kept them in third place ahead of Cobb’s men who won an- other decision from Philadelphia 11| to 1, ‘ Speaker hit his seventh home run} of. the ‘on, his men were in a hitting mood too, and the Indians won from Washington 14 to 5. ~——______—_+ i Baseball Standings.| ——— DAKOTA LEAGUE, i WwW.

Hollocher is a great ball player. He has the old fighting spirit that keeps the club on edge. His fielding is always high class; and at the bat he is mighty dangerous. Five years ago no-one would Have for a minute thought to overlook Grover Cleveland Alexander. ‘The great pitcher is a member of the Cubs, but Alexander is not the} “Alex” of old. “GROVER ALEXANDER Every .now and ‘then he turns: in the start ofa game that once char- acterized his effortp-‘any time the stepped on the rubber.

The fates have been mighty unkind to Pitcher Doak of the St. Louis Car- dinals this year. The ambition of every major lea- ©. hit class at least once. wice this season Doak has turned in two performances in which the opposition made only one hit. Now pitchers do not mind being deprived of a no-hit game if the only hit recorded is a real one. It is a matter of keen disappointment,, however, when the only hit is of the fluky infield. species. Early in May, Doak turned in. a one-hit affair against the New York Giants. His other one-hit game was in July, against the’ Phillies. On each occasion the only hit made was a fluky infield tap, which rolled so*slowly that the batsman was able to get the decision at first. ise by a scant margin, So, after all, the working of a no- hit game is a matter of good pitch- ing plus an equal amount of luck. This is particularly true when a pitcher works a game: in which he shuts out the opposition without a hit, and. prevents a sjngle batsman from reaching first base. I umpired the game carly in the year when Robertson of Chicago pitched a no-run, no-hit, no-man- reach-first game against the Detroit club, This was a great feat. The fact that it was made against the Detroit club, one of the hardest-hitting ag- gregations in the game, made it al the more noteworthy. That psychology also enters into unusual baseball feats,- as well as luck, was also proved in that game. In the carly innings the Tigers hit a half dozen balis hard.~ Three) ~— began to insist that Robérison w: doctoring the ball. Every inning a protest was lodged. 2 During the first four innings Rob- ertson was hit fairly hard but was saved by good support. Then, by fussing over the ball, the Tigers took their minds off their work and the hitting slumped. As a result, Robertson jogged through the last five innings in easy fashion. High-class pitching had been aided by luck and psychology. ees | Cady Touches | Wrong Man and 4 | Three Men Score | ¢ —_________.___ When ‘two base runners are stand- ing on the same base there jis often confusion in the mind of the fielder as to which runner he should touch in order to retire one of them. A base always belongs to the origi- nal occupant unless he is forced to vacate. When two runners as the result of some play end up on the same bag, it belongs to the original occupant, exces} as above noted. The proper play for the ficlder to make is to touch the runner other than the original occupant. That. retires him, even though we is standing on the bag when touched. A peculiar situation along these lines developed ‘in a game played at Boston in 1912 between the Atheltics wand the Red Sox. These two teams were fighting for the pennant that year, the Red Sox finally nosing out Connie'‘Mack’s team. In the game in question the Ath- letics filled the bases, with two out. Cady was catching for Boston. A sany throw from Cady to Wagner, who ‘was playing short, ‘caught the Philadelphia runner off second. He immediately dashed for third and the runner on third started for home. - Wagner then threw the ball to Cady at the plate, who ran the run- or, four sensational catches prevent- ed some of the drives from going for extra bases. ed the Tigers.

He balanced the milk bot-! |'tle during his tender years with the} |right mitt, therefore che laced the; | glove on the left-hand and. batted; from the right side when he entefed} his baseball carcer.

Turning into the carly days of May this human reindeer was dra ging his feet of speed along ‘the cir- cuit with a batting average of \210. Outfielders ‘belong to ‘the ‘fenee busting brigade and as Arnold is an outfielder he soon realized that to retain his job, to live up to the repu- tation of a $50,000 prize, he had ‘to get as far as first base in one out of every trip to the plate. ‘ Then and there Statz decided that the speed of a, reindeer could not change the course of nature with the result that he went back to nature; went back as a right-handed hitter. * 19 Consecutive Games. What was the. result? . The-first day he started a batting streak which saw him hit safely in 19 eonsecutive games. Stopped by Hugh McQuillan of the ‘Braves, for a single day, Statz put on another spurt which carried him through ‘4 games as a base-hit author.

In the major it there are batters who turn ‘around with success, such as Max Carey, Dave Bancroft, Goldie Rapp Pep Young, Lew Blue, Waltér Holke, f Frankie Frisch and others, but Arnold Statz now is willing to ‘sacrifice that running advantage for the power which mature gave him. e N.D.

It is true that there is a fairly large storage on hand, but when this storage is set inst the consumption, its of relative size diminishes rapidly. Between January 1 and June 1 the orage of gasoline was increased about 270,000,000 gallons, while the monthly consumption increased but 224,000,000 gallons; ‘but during June the consumption was: largely increased . while the storage remained stationary. During the past six weeks storage has decreased, ‘as was to be expected, and this decrease will continue until late in the fall. Here are the most recent sta- tistics taken from the reports of the U. S. Bureau of Mines: ; \ ally Gssdtine Stocks, Jan. 1922, - 586,087,132gals.
