Just to make the first divis shift complete the New York Giants moved into third place while the Cardinals dropped back to fourth, the intricacies of the percentage system accomplishing this despite the fact that both clubs turned in into victories. Roettgen’ gle in the eighth in- ning gave th ardinals the run that spelled defeat for the Cubs. Rein- hart gave the Chicagoans ten hits but they were judiciously scattered. Hack Wilson hit his third home run in two days and his ninth of the sea- B0n.

Brandt gave up but three hits as the Boston Braves repulsed the in- vading Phillies, 3 to 1. Brant al- lowed but one hit until the ninth when Southern hit a home run and Sand singled. Yanks Go on Spree In the American league, the New York Yankees went on a batting spree reminiscent of their palmiest days of last year. The champions pounded out 22 hits in scoring a 14 to 4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. _In the Yanks’ hit collection were Ruth’s thirteenth homer of the season; Gehrig’s seventh and Meu- sel’s fourth. In all the Yanks 22 hits were good for 38 bases.

An eee is likely to either Iowa, Jack Gesellchen, Turtle Lake Butcher Boy and Future Capital City Twirler, Leads Invaders in Return Game— Walloped Wilton in Last Game By J. G. MacGREGOR Jack Gesellehen, the Turtle Lake butcher boy and his band of Mercer baseball addicts, will invade Bis- marck next Sunday to clash with Churchill and Co. It will be the second time that Bismarck and Mercer have met. It will be the third game of the sea- son for both teams. It will be the second game on the home diamond. Most important, it will give the Capital City preptics their first eye- ful of the hamburger maker who will pitch after June 1 for the Gray Shirts. Gesellchen, you know, has signed to hurl for Bismarck for the next three months. To refresh lethargic minds, Bis- |marck defeated Mercer in the first hurricane of the season, 12 and 8, in a battle of wind and dust at Brush lake two weeks ago. Bismarck had an edge that day. Dr. Churchill had been throwing dust in his pets’ eyes during the week previous so they were accus- tomed to the storm of Missouri mud that flecked and lashed at their orbs during that nightmare. The Mer- cer boys, unprepared, were blinded. Then too, Gesellchen’s style, of twirling was not adapted to a hur- ricane and the ball did queer tricks which were readily solved by the Bismarckans.

Tex Rickard Realizes $20,000 on Title Go New York, May 23.—(AP)—In- stead of a deficit, Tex Rickard has been agreeably surprised to find out that te realized a profit of about Jimmy McLarnin’s bid for the ‘Rockford Sheik’s” lightweight title. | Revised figures, said Rickard, show that 20,410 fans paid to see the bout, for gross receipts of $152,- 564 far short of the $250,000 the romoter expected to pour into the reasury. After deducting federal and state taxes the receipts amounted ‘to $130,964. Mandell re- ceived $49,111 or 37% per cent, and McLarnin $16,370, or 12% per cent.

D., May 22—(7)— Showing amazing speed and clever- ness Billy Petrolle, the “Fargo Ex- press,” knocked out Eddie Dwyer of Chicago in the fourth round here tonight. Dwyer never had a chance against the aggressive North Dako- tan, and although he fought a game battle, he went out near the finish of the fourth on a hard right hand punch to the head. The real damage inflicted by Pe- trolle, however, came in the second and third rounds, when‘ he landed repeatedly with left uppercuts. Dwyer went to the canvas in the second round, but regained his feet at the count of nine. In the third he was knocked to his knees twice and reeled badly as he sought his corner after the bell. Petrolle went after his man vi- ciously in the fourth and again sent him to his knees with punches to the head. Dwyer struggled up for a last effort but was an easy vic- tim at last. The bout was scheduled for ten rounds. Dazed and bloody it was many minutes before he was able to leave the ring. Rollie French of Webster, S. D., was disqualified by referee Tommy Collins of Watertown just before the gong in the last of his four round curtain rise with Angelo Puglisi of saree ‘usal to obey orders of »the official and butting with his head brought the reprimand.

Baron Giorgio Mario Suriani, direct from Italy, is willing to sell his for that amount. “But no one is anxious to buy,” he says. “I have had offers of marriage, of course, but most of them are from old women. Besides, these old wom- en live forever.” The Baron claims his title is the“ real thing, having as well as to men. ee his quest for a double-title by the fact that ander the commission rules ia must make his fiyweight clas: limit of 112 pounds. Graham _prob- ably. will scale close to the Bantam it. The bantamweight throne has been more or less vacant since Char- ley (Phil) Rosenberg, of New York, forfeited his kingship by coming in overweight for a title match with Graham more than a year ago. The national boxing association did rec- ognize Bud Taylor, the Terre Haute terror, the legitimate successor until.a few days ago when it de- cided to drop Taylor and recognize the winner of the Schwartz-Graham battle as worthy of the diadem. Taylor, the N. B, A.’ felt, had for- feited the crown by his failure to defend it. : Humbert J. Fugazy, chief rival of Tex Rickard in the box-fight game, has arranged a supporting card of 24 rounds.
