Devine to Offi- cially Open Game | | | TWIRLER MAKES DEBUT Respective Pilots, Neil Church- ill and Herb Crawford, Confident of Win neups: The Probable Lii ISMARCK MANDAN. . By J. G. MacGREGOR The dull roar of a mob! Sounds across a field. An ex- pectant hush falls over hun- dreds of persons. A gruff bass voice growls “Pillay Bawwwwl!” Another Bismarck Staccato shouts, free advice, the crack of peanut shells and the gurgle of quenching pop, mingle in a rising symphony of voices acclaiming 18 aristo- crats of the hour. The time is 3:30 p. m. (Bis- marck time). The place is the municipal ball park located south of the United States weather bureau across the Northern Pacific railway tracks. The honored 18 are the diamond heroes of Bismarc! and Mandan come to battle in the first game of the season. On the mound a silver haired man gingerly takes a shining bit of horsehide. Back of the plate an- other man with silvery locks, legs} akimbo, awaits the toss. Governor A. G. Sorlie is the moundsman and Joe Devine guardian of the plate. What Viewpoint? ‘And those hundreds who view the) scene! Perhaps no two persons in the gray stands before the ball is thrown regard the game from a like standpoint. Here in the throng is the “wise guy” who early tenanted the gate of the park to grab a seat behind the plate. He elbows impatiently a neighbor whose eyes rove restlessly over the hard packed infield. Each in his own way. Homage to America’s greatest game! Umpire Norman Roop: “This is ® great crowd. It’s my first game this year. Boy! What a panning Tl get!. I gave ’em my best last year, though, and the boys seemed satisfied.” Rotund Neil Churchill with bale- ful eye: “Hum! Not bad. That out- field is a puzzle but my champi infield is intact. I want the fans to meet Christianson, my new pitch- er on the staff. He's a good kid and has some fooler. The stands know ‘Doc’ Love. Christy can mow down that cross-river gang and I'll use Doc in a return game.” Crawford Smiles Over on the other side of the dia- mond, Herb Crawford, the Mandan impresario, _ smiles confidently: “Haven’t had a team like this in years. These kids are all comers and how they eat dirt. A break will put us out in front. Even the best of them will crack.” A female voice: “Oh, my dear, Isn't it a darb, There’s Mabel with another mew beau. She's got more crust than a baked potato. And, say, have yyou heard about Dickey? He's——” “Five on Bismarck. Whose got Come on, guy, make up your mind, there’s a lot o’ birds waitin’ to cuvver this dough. Didja ee Sagehorn snap that grounder over to Eddie Tobin? Sailer’s got his sliding pads on too. Betcha Fuller busts up this ball game like he did Jast Sunday.” “Ah! Pull in your proboscis, you Jowlife! Mandan’s th’ goods. t boy Geston is some sweet player. ‘Ain’t youse boids heard about Dutch Nagel? He’s got more brains than you've got blackheads. And just wait until Renden and Helbling pick up their sticks.” Catcher's Conversation Kelly Simonson and Mutt Gron- yold: “That curve will fool ’em. Hope Roop’s got his blinders on. Every ball is cutting the corners.” Christianson and Heidt, sotto ‘voce: “Wish I’d had a little more practice. The arm is good. Con- trol’s fine. Can I stand the Lenaburg, Mohn and Eberline: “I've got Heidt’s number. Bet this ball rides a mile. If this weather holds out, it'll be easy judging flies. Hope the old whip is working won. He captured the Olympic title THE BISMAKUK TRIBUNE Arm Creaking But Old Jack Quinn Still Delivers for Mack’s Athletics Jack Quinn is so old that he’s sen- sitive about his age. The record books say he is forty-two, but he has been pitching for twenty-five years and some say he must be more than 45. Connie Mack doesn’t care how old he is because the aged veteran is still delivering winning ball for the Athletics, having turned in two early seagon shutouts. The players say he throws with his head, but even at that they can’t hit hit A.0.U.W. NINE PLAYS STEEL Local Lodge Diamond Club Hopes to Better Last Year’s Great Record The baseball tenm of the A. O. U. W. lodge of Bismarck will launch its 1928 baseball season Sunday at Steele, E. Ellness, manager, an- nounced today. With the same team back in uni- form that won seven out of 26 games last year, the Workmen are hopeful of bettering the 1927 games won and lost column and of develop- ing one of the finest clubs in west- ren North Dakota. Games with the leading diamond outfits of the Slope country are sought by the I rs. Baseball team managers are asked to write E. Elness, Bismarck, for games in the near future. Either Schlonker or F. Hummell will do the twirling for the locals tomorrow when they play the town club of Steele. Ferderer will prob- ably be bhind the bat. Infield candidates are Fogerty, M. Hummell, Klein, Erickson and Ell- ness. In the outer gardens, Patera, Nelson, Mellon, Robidou and Roeh- rick are seeking jobs. America’s Olympic Supremacy Not Endangered. With Ten Jumpers Capable of ‘Doing Better Than 6 Feet, 4 Inches —Should Finish 1-2-3 By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) cedent for high flying the famous schoolmaster, Hal Osborn, may have to yield the high jumping Olympic crown to one or another of the as- tonishing crop of new altitude- makers. When America can mention off- hand the names of ten jumpers who have done 6 feet 4 inches or better there isn’t much prospect that the nation’s supremacy in this branch of field sports will be menaced at Amst m. The veteran Osborn has been troubled off and on during the past few years Ae a weak ankle or strained thigh tendons. Half his leg has been taped up in recent com- petition but even with such handi- caps the bespectacled star of the Tllinois A. C. is as good or bettet than half his rivals, Whether or not Osborn is able to stage a come-back he can rest on 8 pretty fair share of laurels already four years ago at Paris, beating out the slim Dartmouth ir, Leroy Brown, with a record leap of 6 feet 6 inches. That was Osborn’s great- est year, 1924, for he also won the Olympic decathlon title and set a new world’s high jumping mark of 6 feet, 8 1-4 inches. That record McMahan, Correll and Matson: “I hear Bismarck is a great bunch of stickers. They haven't seen nothin’ We made that Solen bunch foolish last Sunday and this ve, they still stands.

It meant that both would have to weigh in gain at the offices of the New York state athletic commission. McLarnin at that time was a half pound under the lightweight limit of 135 pounds. Mandell just barely made it after a brisk work- out had removed an extra half pound of weigh: from the cham- pion’s body. Had the bout been held last night both boxers would have ..tere< the ring over the lin.it. Now they are confronted with the necessity of getting down to 135 pounds again. Both insisted this would be easy but the experts were of another opinion. Soon after the second postpone- ment was announced yesterday, Mandell and McLarnin went to work, The champion went through the equivalent of 11 rounds of exer- cise.

Staging a remarkable comeback this season after several years of mediocre pitching, Nehf hurled the Cubs to a 3 to 1 victory over the Boston Braves at Chicago yesterday. Nehf allowed but five hits, one of jthem a home run by Rogers Horns- by in the fourth inning. The “ jah” incidentally was the only brave who passed first ‘base. Kiki Cuyler returned to the game after an ab- sence of some time and knocked in | two of the Cubs’ runs with a_ home |run with one on in the third. Beck’s jsingle scored Grimm with the last Chicago tally in the fourth. The | | victory ran the Cubs’ string of con- secutive wins to sn even dozen. Reds in Second Place Cincinnati moved back into second iplace in the leavue standing by de- jfeating the Brooklyn Robins, 7 to 6, while the St. Louis Cardinals were {suffering a crushing reverse, 10 to |6, at the hands of the New York Giants. The Reds pulled their game out of the fire by scoring five runs in the eighth inning. Pid Purdy returned to the game in a pinch hitting role and blasted out a triple that scored Critz with the winning run. Herz man hit a home run with one on in the first inning for the Dodgers. {The Reds completed three double plays to bring their season’s total 0 56. The Giants bludgeoned Grover Cleveland Alexander out of the box in three innings in their triumph at St. Louis. : Melvin Ott cracked out a pair of homers to aid “the Giants while Hafey and Bottomley were doing the same thing for the Cards. Pirates Beat Phillies The hapless Phillies were beaten by the Pirates at Pittsburgh, 6 to 4. Remy Kremer held the invaders to two runs and four hits until the ninth, In this frame the Quakers scored twice, had two men on with one out and Cy Williams at the plate. Burleigh Grimes stepped in as relief for Kremer, forced Cy to line out and then tossed out Sand himself to end the game. Paul Waner got a single, double, triple and pass in four trips to the plate. Rain washed out all of the Amer- ican League encounters although the Cleveland Indians and Senators managed to play three innings at Washington before a downpour halted hostilities for the day. | The Indians were leading at that Itime, 1 to 0. Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, announced that Urban Shocker, veteran right hand- er, has been restored to good stand- ing on the club. Shocker was a hold-out for some time after the opened but finally came to terms. Hogeins then announced the pitcher’s salary would not start until he was convinced Shocker was ready to take his regular turn on the mound. COMPLETING LEGAL CATCH What is regarded as _neces- sary to complete a legal catch of a thrown ball on a play at first base or 2 foree, play? Major league umpires regard the hands as the means of complerten a play on a thrown ball. it is, the ball must be securely held in the hand or hands of the fielder making the play. If on a play at first base, or a force play at any other base, the ball arrives head of the runner, he is out, provided the ball is securely held by the fielder prior to the time the runner reaches the ¥ If a ball is thrown to the first baseman and it reaches him several feet in advance of the runner, the tempt.

However, if the ball which reached the fielder in advance of the runner is juggled, and in the interim be- fore the ball is securely held the runner reaches the base, he is safe. I have received many inquiries in which the player jugs les the ball, then has it roll up his arm, and prior to the runner reaching the base, the fielder has the ball firm- ly under his arm or held against his body by his elbow. The question is, does such a hold- ing of the ball complete the play and should the runner be called out?

Placing in everything except the shot put and javelin, the Midgets seem sure to replace Grand Forks as state cham- pions. One state record fell in the course of Fargo’s onslaught. Contesting Fargo’s bid for honors, however, are Bismarck and Ellen- dale, each placing eight men in the finals which will be run off Satur- aoe afternoon. lam Simons led the Midgets with some stellar performances in the dashes. After knocking 1-5 second off the state 220-yard dash record, which he ran in 22.6, he turned in the most sensational upset of the day by nosing out Green of Bis- marck, the favorite, in the 440 yard dash. Simons gave further proof that he plans to make a determined bid for individual honors today, when he outdistanced the field in the first 100 yard dash heat, which he finished in 10.4 seconds. Meinhover Comes Through Meinhover, gigantic Bism performer, led the Capital City tingent. He shoved out the shot 40 feet, 10 inches to grab fifth place among the qualifiers. Then he threw the discus 103 feet, 7 inches to a third place among the final- ists. Benser and York gave Bismarck two men in the half mile finals. Benser was fourth in the third heat while York was third in the second eat. Hank Brown, red-thatched young- ster, will be a contender in the high hurdles. He ran the sticks into third place in the first heat which was won by DuChene in the fast time of 17.4 seconds. Sell Looks Good Sell will challenge Ham Simon: new state record. The lanky B: marchian nosed out first place in the second heat. His time was 24 seconds and observers believe that he can knock fractions off. In the 440 yard dash as, was ex- pected, Bismarck placed three men. Davis and Benser placed in the first heat. Davis finished second while Benser tagged hi Green, the Bismarck crack, finished second to of the meet so far.
