The rest of the Bismarck lineup will be shifted around. k lost a baseball game to| City All-Nations last cold game at the city ball park. The score was seven to one. he Bismarck play was ragged, while the All-Nations outfit played ood ball most of the time. Churchill saved Love and Board- man from the box last night to use night one of them in the game with Jamestown at the city ball park mestown lost Thursday by seven to two. The score would have been twelve to two if -he sev- enth inning had been completed. Bismarck hopes to. avenge the de- feat given them last Sunday by the Stutsman county crew on their home playground. Cold Hurt Gesellchen Cold weather got the best of Jack Gesellchen, Turtle Lake “butcher who made his debut in the box for Bismarck. Joe Day, membered as one member of the Day-Fly pitching team for Bismarck back in the Dakota league, pitched | a nice game for the winners. The All-Nations club, ade up of Nesres and three Indians, present- ed a nice team on the field and hit well. The hitting of Redd, third baseman, was especially god, the Negro getting a double and a triple in three trips to the plate. Gray, catcher, got two hits, one a three- bagger, in five trips to the plate and wes credited with 11 putouts. Day, besides striking out nine men and allowing but seven hits in the loose game, walloped two singles in four trips with the bat. Andergon, second baseman, committed the only two All-Nations’ errors. Black- smith scored twice, and Anderson, Redd, Jackson, Russell, and Day scored once each for the Kansas City outfit. Mohn Hits “Again Babe Mohn again was the only Gray who had luck with the bat. The little centerfielder who made three hits out of four attempts at Jamestown last Sunday hit _ twice last night in his quartet of tries. Lenaburg, in two tries, and Simon- son, Sagehorn, Fuller, and Board- man each hit one-basers. Sagehorn was the only Gray scorer. Eddie Sailer had a bad day on the dia- mond with two errors, Lenaburg and Fuller each making one. The colored crew started off in the first inning with two runs, re- sulting from a Bismarck error, a double, and a triple. Each team scratched a run in the second. Every man on the mixed team faced Gesellchen in the fourth, when the southern team scored four runs with ,four hits and one base on balls, augmented by an error and a stolen Fourth Ends Scoring No scoring was done after the fourth inning. In the sixth Lena- burg got on base with a hit after Boardman had taken three strikes. Then the big outfielder was forced into a double play when Sagehorn hit to the pitcher. Day to Ander- son to Jackson was the double com- bination. Again in the eighth, with two out. Lenaburg reached first on four balls, and third on Anderson's + error, only to die there when Sailer was whiffed. In the ninth, Fuller singled and stole second and third to die on the hot corner when Sailer struck out. The All-Nations slumped in their _ play after getting the big lead in the fourth inning and the game lost interest. Clownish antics of Gray, comic and clever Negro catcher, won him a place in the hearts of the Spectators. Suffered Two Injuries Bismarck suffered two injuries, fe. in the first inning when Mc- tching to relieve Simonson, iene a nail on a pitched ball, and the second when Sagehorn hurt his throwing arm in a heave from short oe, Sagehorn Bayes, ind 2 the game so ie might save his arm but was forced to go back to his old position before the ame had continued long.

He pitched for} Louis the rest of the year and ahived a big part in the city series | between the two St. Louis teams of the major leagues. It was then that he roomed with Hornsby. Hornsby started at practically the same time |Charlie did. Pitched for Fargo The big hurler played with Fargo ‘in the Northern league during ’16 ‘and_until July, 1917. He finished ,1917 vith Minneapolis in the Amer- liean Association.

He has been playing jantspenneets baseball in this section |since. He has been feared as the \greatest pitcher in the state for a number of years and he still has a |lot of slants and speed in his old left soupbone. For two and a half years in the leagues, Charlie aver- | aged one strikeout an inning or nine (strikeouts per game. He is one cf jthe heaviest hitters in this section \of the country. Boardman was horn and raised in ;Seneca Falls, N. Y., where ‘tis par- lents still live. He is married, 35 | years old, and weighs in the neigh- | |borhood of 200 pouncs. He will probably play baseball for several years to come. ‘Stages Set for American Derby | and Belmont Go | Chicago, June 9.—()—Eight Ken- | tucky derby candidates had another | chance to reward their owners and | backers at the 19th renewal of the | American derby, the blue ribbon event of Chicago’s racing season, | at Arlington park today. Ten or twelve of the best 3 year olds of the nation were expected to face the barrier for the mile and a | quarter race, which carries $25,000 in added money. Post time was set for 5 p. m. Chicago daytight sav- ing time. A fast track and a record j throng of 50,000 spectators ‘vere in prospect. Heading the Kentucky derby 18- who placed second iff the Ken- cy classic. The American derby, once one of America’s greatest turf classics, to- day glowed in new surroundings amid the splendor of the American National Jockey club’s magnificent new plant. ‘Arlington park has been enlarged and improved at an es! mated cost of $4,000,000. It ex- tends over 1,000 acres and has commodations for 100,000 fans. New York, June 9.—(®)—The east’s leading money-winning three- year-old, Harry Payne Whitney’s Victorian, was an ‘overwhelming’ favorite to capture the rich Belmont stakes at Belmont park today. Only five horses were left s face the barrier for the classie worth’ roo! $78,730 this year, total going to th~ w-nner., Take Notice( Mr. Ruth? tser, with Jackson in the step, tu Cotton States League, is not an or> | t! thodox home run hitter.

The Rajah was_ tripping {and George Grantham of Pittsburgh | was next in line at .394. Near Homer Lead Hornsby also was near the lead! jin home runs, although Del Bisson- | jette topped the league with ten. |Hack Wilson of Chicago and Jim} |Bottomley of St. Louis were tied | with nine homers each, while Horns- | | jby had eight. Hornsby and ‘Bot- jtomley tied for the greatest num- \ber of doubles, each with sixteen. Since assuming the reins as man- ager at Boston, Hornsby has boosted his average with almost every game —exactly the reverse process which iset in immediately after he was ap- | pointed leader of the Cardinals three jyears ago. Clark Leads Pitchers The defeat of Fred Blake, the Cub ‘pitching star, sent William Clark of Brooklyn into the lead among the National League boxmen with six games won and only one lost through Wednesday. Many persons jace, the real leader, as his record shows not only more, but more com- plete games. Benton had won eight |“ and lost two through Wednesday, and further, had pitched 91 innings without requiring relief. Taylor Douthit of the Cardinals led in base hits with 77, while Bis- sonette, the home run king, for the moment at least, showed the way in driving home runs home. No fewer than 41 Robins crossed the plate on transportation furnished by Big Del. Bissonette Hits Triples Bissonette also tied with Walker of Cincinnati in triples, each having | seven. Bottomley set the scoring pace with 43 trips across the plate. His team-mate, Frank Frisch, whose batting average is languishing down around the .305 mark, continued to set the base running record. The Fordham flash finished Wednes- day’s game with an even dozen stolen bases for the season. Fancy fielding helped the Cincin- nati Reds through the week, as it had in earlier weeks of the National League campaign, but hefty club- bing failed to lift the Pirates very high. Val Picinich’s bat remained large, and he finished the week with an average of 3.93, ranking third, only one point behind Grantham. Douth- it was fourth with .372, and Bottom- ley fifth with .370. IOWA ATHLETES PULL SURPRISE ON WESTERNERS iBig Ten Athletes Challenge! Stanford’s Title Hopes by Qualifying Ten Chicago, June 9—(?i—An un- looked for Big Ten challenge had | arisen today to Stanford Univer- sity’s hopes of winning the team at the national collegiate outdoor championships, being decided at Soldier Field. . Towa, runnerup at the wéstern conference meet, qualified ten men, the same number as Stanford. The Pacific coasters, however, held an advantage because the Iowa quali fiers were in events where competi- tion in today’s finals promised to be the keenes' Ilinois, ner of the Big Ten meet, qualified only five men, but her strength lay in events in which no preliminaries were held—the pole weal, the high jump and the two mile. The Stanford qualifiers were in the 120 yard high hurdles, the quar- ter mile, the shot put (thre> quali- \fied), the broad jump, the javelin |along in the lead with a mere .418,| —|HORNSBY LEADS NATIONAL HITTERS; AMERICAN BATTING AVERAGES DROP The Rajah Is Also Pressing ting; Hot-Weather Pitching Continues Its Absence Chicago, June 9.—A)—Hot weather, a necessary conditioner for pitching arms, is still absent, but the annual asault on batting aver- ages ® already effectively underway in the American League. Batting Averages Drop |. Unofficial averages including Wednesday’s games reveal every team, even the rampant Yankees, dropped in team batting during the eighth week of play. The Yankees jdropped only one point from last |week, but since May 16, their aver- ‘age has declined 9 points. During \the cighth week, Washington’s team ‘hitting average dropped seven |points, St. Louis’ and Cleveland’s |four each, Philadelphia’s and Chi- j¢ago’s three each, Detroit's two, and Boston’s one. The Yankees, however, are still in the lead in team hitting with an average of .313 or 25 points more than Cleveland, which is in second place, Goslin Leads Hitters “Goose” Goslin, | Washington’s veteran outfielder, still leads the in- dividual hitters with an™ average of .420, while Ralph Kress of St. Louis, with an average of .370 took second.

Each has won nine and lost one. Boston retained its lead in team fielding with an average of .977, while Philadelphia clung to second with a 975 mark. Other leaders: team runs, New York 291; fewest opponents’ runs, Philadelphia, 163; double plays, Cleveland, 57; sacrifice hits, Sum- ma, Cleveland 14, . STRIPP HITS AT 468 CLIP Chicago, June 9.—(?)—Batting ayerages toppled considerably in tRe eighth week of play in the American Association, but “Jersey Joe” Stripp, Colfimbus third base- man, still retained a wide margin in the race for individual hitting hon- ors. Unofficial statistics for games up to and including those of Wednes- day show Stripp hitting at a 463 clip to lead the circuit for the consecutive week. During the last week, however, his average sroppee 8 points. Bobby Veach of Toledo,| Ys one of the few to boost their aver- ages, climbed from fourth to second place although his percentage gain ,| Was only one point. Freddy Heimach, who is attempt- ing his major league comeback in the St. Paul lineup, was still lead- ing in the pitching race. another victory during the week, giving him o season’s record of 11 won nd 3 lost. Wingard of Mil- waukee gained on him by winnit two games, hiking his record to won and 3 lost.
