JACK GESELLCHEN ONCE PITCHED GAME FOLLOWING MORNING ‘Turtle Lake Butcher Boy,’ Re- cently Moved to Bismarck, Started Ball in 1916 _This is one of a series or ar- ticles dealing with members of the Bismarck baseball club. caer) Jack Gesellchen, known in Bis- marck as the “Turtle Lake Butcher Boy,” started his baseball career with the Denhoff, N. Dak., club. He ; Started pitching in 1916 and has j been pitching ever since. The butcher boy’s best season was spent with the Pianot, Sask. Ca’ ada, in 1921. He won 24 games in 27 starts. His best game, and probably the strangest, was played against Maple Creek that same sca- son. The two teams battled for eleven innings, darkness forcing the teams to stop when both had registered three runs. The twelfth and thirteenth innings of the game were played the next morning, Ge- sellchen’s outfit winning five to three. He whiffed 8 men in that game. | Maple Creek in 919 The hurler played with Denhoff from 1916 until 1919, going from his home town to Maple Creek, Sask. After spending a season with Maple Creek, he moved to Piapot where he remained for two seasons. In 1922 he pitched two games for Jamestown in the Dakota league, winning his first game and losing Charlie the second to Boardman and the Bismarck club, two to noth- ing. Mark Koenig, who later starred with St. Paul and is now slugging and shortstopping his way to fame with the New York Yan- kees, was with the Jimmie crew that year. Played With Martin Jack played with Martin and Harvey the next season off and on and was with the Martin club in 1924 and 1925. Since then he has been with the Turtle Lake outfit, until moving to Bismarck a short time ago. He also played a num- ber of ‘games with teams in Mon- tana. Gesellchen has pitched only one game for Bismarck this season, that against the All-Nations about a week ago. He entered that game without having a chance to warm 2B. and did fair work in spite of it. le promises to be a valuable man to the Bismarck club soon. Jack was the first man secured when Manager Churchill started to reor- ganize his lineup. Gesellehen is 28 years old and cingle. GOLF CHAMPS GATHER go, June 16.—)—Cham- pions from around the world began to register at Olympia fields country club today for th> national open golf championship next week. In of the prime Bobby Jones, while the titleholder, Tommy Ar- Wi Was on tHe way to whet his inst the assaults of 148 of the earth's best golfers. Z ‘Cards Outdistance Cincy, Home Run Helped Phillies Whip Cincinnati; St. Louis Win 14-Inning Affair Hornsby’s Outfit Loses 7th Straight; Yankees Drop 11th Game of Season The St. Louis Cardinals, cham- pions of 1926 and near-repeaters last season, have winged their way to the top of the National league | standings. Two weeks of better than .800 per cent baseball climaxed by a ‘thrilling 14-inning triumph over {Brooklyn yesterday enabled the Cardinals to climb over the Cincin- |nati Reds and head the parade in John Heydler’s circuit for the first time since the first few days of the current campaign. The Reds unfortunately for them picked yesterday to lose to the Phillies and now rate in second jplace, 15 percentage points back of |the leaders. | Jim Bottomley's thirteenth home run of the season, with two on in |the 14th, gave bill McKechnie’s clan lits 5 to 2 victory over the Dodgers. |That drive not only won the ball {game but it put Jim in a tie with Rogers Hornsby for individual home run honors. It was the Cards’ 13th victory in their last 16 games. Hurst Stands Out | The Reds fought hard to avert | defeat at Philadelphia but failed by |the margin of a single run, 8 to 7, in a free hitting contest. Dop Hurst, new first sacker of the Phillies, clubbed his fourth homer in five games. | The New York Giants subdued Pittsburgh 9 to 1. Vic Aldridge, traded by Pittsburgh for Burleigh Grimes, allowed only six hits and rapped out a home run and two | Singles and scored three runs. With Hornsby under a five-day suspension for his protest against Umpire Pfirman’s decision calling him out on strikes, the Boston Braves procesded to lose their seventh straight game, this time to the Cubs, 5 to 4. The New York Yankees lost their 11th contest of the season to St. Louis, 5 to 4, despite Babe Ruth’s 24th homer of the year. Otis Bran- non’s double with the bases filled in the fifth was worth more, in the end, than Ruth’s round-trip blow which came with one on. Phils Cut Down Yanks The Philadelphia Athletics cut the Yanks’ lead to eight and a half games by pounding out an easy 12 to 5 verdict over the floundering Indians at Cleveland. Lefty Grove |pitched a strong game and never was in trouble. Continuing their return to the form expected of them before the season started, Washington made it two in a row over Detroit, 5 to 4, in 10 innings, the Tigers accepting their fifth straight defeat. Sam Rice’s double, a sacrifice .and Barnes’ single scored the winning run in the first extra inning. Danny MacFayden came within two innings of pitching a no-hit game as the Boston Red Sox beat the White Sox at Chicago, 3 to 1. MacFayden allowed no hits until McCurdy singled in the eighth Three more hits in the ninth scored the Whitesox’ only run. Regan’s homer with Todt on base in the fourth was the blow that decided the issue. The Giants have acquired Gene- Braves, in trade son and Cantwell, | Spohrer, catcher. \Winning 13 of 16 Tussles CALLAGHAN IS REDLEG PUNCH New York, June+ 16—(%—The heavy-clubbing tactics shown by the Cincinnati Reds since they opened their eastern invasion at Boston two weeks ago have lifted one of their number, Marty €allaghan, to the batting pinnacle of the National league—ahead of even the great Hornsby who again is the Hornsby of two or three years ago. Callaghan tops the league today with a neat mark of .429 for 37 games, aecording to figures released today and_ including Wednesday's games. Hornsby, the only other National league regular above .400, is 11 points behind Marty with 418 for 48 engagements. A new leader also is to be dis- cerned in the vanguard of the pitch- ing princes, where the flaminy thatch Larry Benton is out ahead o' all the rest. This citizen of Cin- cinnati, who toils for the cownfall of his home city and the advance- ment of the Giants, has ten victories and two defeats, all of them com- plete games. Benton has worked 110 innings without requiring re- lief. Lueas Out in Front Following him is Red Lucas of Cincinnati with eight won and two lost. Red might be out in front .t this moment if he had not been so thoughtless as to thrust his left wrist into the path of a line drive as he worked in batting tice some weeks back. Lucas leads with three shut-outs. Carl Mays of Cincinnati has won four and lost one, while Watson Clark of Brooklyn, Flint Rhem of St. Louis and Fred Fitzsimmons of New York ar. tied for the next po- sition, h with six victories and two dei Following Callaghan are these regular batsm Grantham, Pitts- burgh, and Sisle1 Boston, .394; Douthit, St. Louis, .383; Picinich, Cincinnati, .380; Roettger, St. Louis, .3871; Bottomley, St. Louis, .364; Ott, New York, .363: and Paul Waner, Pittsburgh, .362. St. Louis players have something of a monopoly on first places in the various departments. Bottomley leads in runs scored, with 51, and Fess in pare, hit ED 91.
