Jamestown took the second game of the es here yesterday, 6 to 0. Venemon, who pitched for the star team of the South Dakota League last year, was in the box for Jamestown, and the right-side fling- er had a lot of speed and -break- ing curves. Boardman was on the | mound for Bismarck. Bismarck had an addition in Koy Seibert, Hazen banker and well known Slope ball player, who substi- tuted because Zart was out of the game with a finger injured by a ball Wednesday. Roy started the first run toward the plate by dropping a fly in left but later got a hand from the fans for a beautiful running catch, Fast work around short and second by both Jamestown and Bismarck fielders and a fast running catch of a foul at the stands by Dougan were ficlding features Hilden, the first man up, fanned. Meier singled off Condon’s glove. Chenoweth dropped a hit near the leftfield foul line. Wingfield fanned. Whiting singled through second and the crowd kicked when Umpire Safro ruleq that Dougan failed to touch Meier who made home from second on the hit. In the third Jamestown added another score. After the life | of one batsman had been prolongea| on balls, off Venemon 1; off Board by Seibert’s error, Wingfielg scored Chenoweth from second on a two- bagger to right center. In the sixth Chenoweth was walked and on the hit and run play Wing- field singled through second, Chen- oweth going to third. With Whiting hitting the squeeze play was worked and Chenoweth sccred. “Doggy” Wenz sloughed a high one which fell inside the right field foul line for three bases, scoring Wingfield. Wenz scored on Schanlaub’s sacrifice tly. In the seventh Jamestown added her last. run. Chenoweth doubled to right-center. Wingfield was safe on s bobble, and the double steal | s worked, Chenoweth scoring. marck had several men on bases, but could not*produce the hits when needed. Boardman got credit for two two- baggers in the game, the first being ticketed for a single but he got to cond when the ball took a bad hop in the field away from Hilden, ‘The hits, ‘however, came when men weren’t in scoring position, The box score: Jamestown PAK Hilden, If 100 Meier, 2b . 161 Chenoweth, ss 240 Wingfield, 3b 040 Whiting, rf . 2014 Wenz, cf .. 100 Schanlaub, 1b 15 0 0 Clark, ¢ .....

BOXING SKILL I$ GIBBONS’ GREAT ASSET It Won a <n For Corbett; Gibbons Hopes He Can Do The Same (By Dean Snyder.) Shelby, Mont, .—Boxing skill has won one heavyweight cham- pionship. Jim Corbett did it at New Orleans Sept. 7, 1892, in 21 rounds when he beat John L, Sullivan. The purse was $25,000 and the stake money $20,000, making his total winnings, $45,000. They used five-ounce gloves. There is a great deal of similarity | between Corbell-Sullivan fight and the coming Dempscy-Gibbons battle at Shelby July Fourth, Sullivan was, rated as a superman at that time. They laughed at the pale bank! June | If Sullivan coulg have hit Corbett he would have put him away. But Sullivan couldn't hit the fast moving target. Nor could he keep away from the jabbing which’ Corbett handed to him like a machine-gun ricketshay. In the 21st round Corbett had all | the super-human stuff taken out of the Great John L, and knocked him out. Since Corbett’s time heavyweight | champions have been built for hit- ting more than skill in boxing. The Corbett system was’ to peck them to pieces and wait until his opponent's strength was gone—then go in and finish them. If Corbett had been fighting Jack Dempsey today he would play that same waiting game. Fitzsimmons was a rushing, tear- | ing in fighter with a good punch. Jeffries was a hitter—with little boxing science, Johnson was'a good boxer ang had a wonderful defense. Willard was slow moving, tele- graphed everything, but his big arms were like a pair of wagon tongues. His huge bulk was his chief protec- | tion from being rapped on the button | until Dempsey did it. Gibbons has the most skill of any of the heavyweights today. But there is not as much contrast between the boxing skill of Gibbons ang the hitting power of Dempsey as { received Thim hit the ball, yet the oppo ‘pitcher frastrated such a_possibil- there was between Corbett and John L. Dempsey is not a bad boxer him- self. He had it on John L. sibbons,can hit much harder than Corbett did in his day. : For the coming championship match you can figure the two prin- cipals this way ang not be far off. Dompsey—great hitter, fair boxer. Gibbons—great boxer, hard hitter. | [Billy Evans Says | Baby Ruth receives a handsome salary from the New York club be- cause he is a slugger extraordinary. This salary is reported to be any- where from $50,000 to $75,000. In all probability the first named fig- In 1921 Labe Ruth made 59 home runs, thereby establishing a record that seems destined to last for many years, if not for all time. Making a home run better than every third game is certainly some achievement. That record lingers in the memory of every fan. It is a magnet that ttracts crowds to the ball para.

Ruth gets a fabulous salary be- cause he is a great slugger. Fans come out to see him because he has established the reputation of being the pre-eminent swatter of the game. Yet the many intentional passes that are being handed Ruth, rob him of his thunder, the hitting of bit runs for which he receives his salary. Incidentally such a cus- hats deprives the fans of seeing him do the very thing they Journeyed out to the park for. At the opening of the season Ruth two or three intentional a game in which I was ump! After being franked in a pinch, when a base hit by him would hava won the ball game, he rte- marked to me. “T ought to break the record this ine home runs are a;lot to shoot at,” I replied “[T don’t mean home runs. I am talking about the base on balls rec- ord.” In looking over my baseball data discovered Ruth was the holder of such a record with 148 bases on balls in a season. Recently I glanc- cd over the first 50 games Ruth had received G4 bases on balls, a major- y of them being intentional. At that rate he will far surpass the mark of 148. During a recent series at New York, Ruth received seven intent tional passes in two games. On his first trip to the plate in one of the \ games which was attended by 50,- (00 people Ruth hit safely. The next four times that he came to bat in that game he was_ intentionally assed. Perhaps in that huge crowd were 5000 people seeing Ruth for the first time. They came out to see ig ity by refusing to get the ball close enough to the plate so he could swing at it. Passing a siugger of the Ruth type in a pinch is @regarded as strategy, smart baseball, It is in keeping with brainy baseball as played, yet it seems to lack the ele- ment oft sportsmanship on which! every contest shoutd. thrive, not a For the wise men of the game The intentional pass is popular feature of baseball. rs of taking the sting out of the man- cuver, without any success as yet. It is almost a certainty that some day some action will be taken re- lative to the passing of a good bat- ter whenever the crisis comes up.
