THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ‘Governor Sorlie and Joe BASEBALL MEET DATES ARE SET What’s Wrong with This Picture? FOR AUG. 8-12 Action Like ‘Na wi Be Seen wes ss and Mandan Clash Suzxday Tournament for North Dakota Diamond Title to Be Held Here for Five Days PRIZES TOTAL $1,500 line-ups for Booster Game Still Uncertain; Park and Mandan are feeling a }: chipper this weck, for Sunday in Bis- marck at 3:30 p. the finest dia- trond talent of the two cities will officially ina: e what promises to be the g baseball season in years on the Missouri Slope. To Governor i. Sorlie will go the honor of ing out the first ball. Joseph M. Devine, commis- sioner of immigration, has been delegated to catch the gubernatorial toss. For those who do not know “Joe” Devine, back in 1892, was the sensational second baseman of the Pittsburgh Pirates and “Art” Sor- lie in his baseball heyday was some “punkins.” Of greater interest to the Slope fans and baseball teams is the an- nouncement that the second annual Missouri Slope Baseball tourna- ment will be held in Bismarck from August 8 to 12 inclusive. Already preparations are being made for this assemblage of crack nines and early inquiries indicate that it will approach a state cham- jionship proposition, for teams as fae away as the Red River valley have asked for information. Prizes Total $1,500 Cash prizes totaling $1,500 will be distributed to the winning teams. No official first, second or third prizes have as yet been designated the committee stating that the num- ber of entries will govern the dis- tribution of the money. At least 12 championship teams are expected to participate in the Right down the groove toward somebody’s cager bat and an_ alert camera—this scene will probably be duplicated ey in the Capital City ball park. It looks like Louie Lenaburg with the big stick and we can imagine George Heidt all twisted out of shape out there on the slab wondering what’s going to happen while Don Tarbox or Martin Gron- vold squats hopelessly behind the in-stepping Louie.

In the same vein the managers are asked to avoid scheduling games on these dates so that there will be fo conflicts at the time that the tourney will start or is in progress. Goddard in Charge H. P.

Changes in the di tance of this feature of the inter tional meet haven't made any di ference. Uncle Sam's timber top: pers were just as effective at 200 meters as they have been at the present distance, 400 meters, to bo run for the sixth time in this year’s Olympie Games. F. Morgan Taylor, who first gained prothinence while at the little Towa college, Grinnell, won the Olympic 400-meter hurdles four years ago in the astonishing time of 52 3-5 seconds.

This performance ranks with Taylor’s Olympic tri- umph. These two, Taylor and Gib- son, are the only hurdlers who have ever beaten 53 seconds for either the 400 meter or 440 yard distance, which are virtually identic- | eellent condition.
