PORTLAND —= CALIFORNIANS! Davidites Follow Christ; Say Beards Are a Mark of Divinity Among Men MANAGER SUCCEEDS BEN Bismarck Is Mustering Great- est Power for Invasion of Michigan Club Bismarck will meet what is gen- erally conceded to be the fastest and strongest traveling baseball team in the world Saturday at 6:30 p. m. at the city ball park. The House of David team comes here from Man- dan Saturday. All having beards because “Christ had a beard and that is a sign of divinity”, the Davidites are a strange team. Francis Thorpe, manager of the team and secretary of King Ben, the colony’s leader, will become head of the colony if King Ben fails to rise from the dead within three years time. Say Ben Will Rise The bearded men believe that Ben will ascend, however. The Benton Harbor, Mich., outfit has won games from Portland, Ore., Sacramento, Cal., and several of the best western teams. This is its first jaunt into North Dakota this year. Fans who are acquainted with baseball for the past few years know that the Davies are competent, the religious outfit enjoying a splendid reputation in North Dakota, as well as all over the states. Trains In South The team trains in Hot Spring, ‘Ark., and travels over the south dur- ing the winter, playing games al- most daily. Among the stars on the team are Tally, outfielder, Tucker, first-baseman, and Smith, another outfielder. Tally has hair 36 inches long, it is said, while Smith has flaming red hair which reaches to his waist. The David men are accustomed to playing with long beards, however, and are rarely hindered in fast play. They are young men rather than old as their beards might indicate. Churchill Is Back Churchill, who has just returned from a convention, is i hed plans for the biggest game of the year Saturday. He plans to use his re- cently-organized team against the Davidites. He has not selected his pitcher, but Love, Boardman or Gesellchen could do well if called upon. Captain Tobin will line up at first with Johnson at second, Sage- horn at short, and Floyd Fuller at third. Mohn, either Simonson or Lenaburg, and Orwoll will probably guard the gardens. Either Lena- burg or paceisleud oles eo will catch, TOLEDO DROPS TWO, ENDING FOURTH IN ASSOCIATION RACE Kansas City Wir Wins Pair and Brewers and Millers Split in Doubleheaders t — (By The Associated Press) “Casey” Stengel and his pace set- ting Mudhens ran up against a couple high class pitchers yesterday, and as a result suffered a double defeat, at the hands of Indianapolis, and dropped from first to fourth place in the hot American Associa-|~ tion pennant race. A double vic- tory for Kansas City over St. Paul fees the Blues to the head of the procession and helped Toledo hit the skids. ‘Schupp Blanks Stengels The veteran Ferdie Schupp blanked the Stengel tribe 6 to 9 in the first game, allowing only five hits, while his teammates, led by Fred Haney and “Wid” Matthews collected a dozen to put across the victory. “Dixie” Leverett was touched for nine blows in the night- cap, but he and his mates did some heavy stickwork at the expense of @ quartette of flingers. Every member of the club collected one or more blows, which sent 14 runs across the plate, while the Hens scored onl t » In cumming up the Hoosi bagged thirty-two safeties in the twin bill, twelve of the blows being for extra bases. Blues Win Two Pei Kansas City they Blues had ugher Sledding to nose out a Sou le win over their rivals. In the first contest they bunched their blows off Polli at the right time for 5 runs, while Sheehan kept the St. Paul hits scattered and only 4 runs tallied. In the second tussle Zinn and Betts hooked up in a dandy pitching duel, with Finn pulling through on the long end of a 2 to count, the winning marker crossing the plate in the closing stanza.

But weight rules the life of a jocke: } Babe Ruth's Battle with the flesh demon several years ago was de- scribed with front-page publicity, but the Babe’s passion for food was a matter of more concern than the burden of bulk on fragile limbs. The Babe's appetite for indigestibles put his stomach on a strike that only ;@ long siege in a hospital was able to break. All ball players have to watch their diets, but none have: had the horror of weight hanging over them like Bob Fothergill, t! ihe bulky De- troit outfielder.

Wyricky Chicago, June 21.—()—The best golf players in the world from every clime lined up today for the long, tortuous four rounds of the fourth ‘course at Olympia Field Country club in quest of the national open golf championship. Toeing the mark at the start were such representative stars as the British open champion, Walter Hagen, an American; the national |- amateur champion, Bobby Jones of Atlanta; a premier British golfer, Archie Compston; the leading French linksman, Aubrey Boomer, the star of the antipodes, Rufus Stewart, Australian titleholder, and 189 other stars of the royal and ancient kingdom. Good golfers all, long with the wood, straight with the iron and exact with the putter. Hagen Is Eager Hagen, holder of the British open and the professional golfers’ titles and eager to add the American open, stood face to face with Compston, who gave him the beating of his life,‘18 and 17 in a 72-hole match. And it is here recorded that Comp- ston with the power of his muscu-| lar frame of more than six feet in height set a record of 69 in the final ractice round for the 6,726 yard links of woods ani creeks and bluffs, while Hagen shot a splendid 70 on the par 71 course. Armour There Again But these outstanding profession- als were not alone among the lead- ing contenders for the title, now)t held by Tommy Armour of Wash- ington, There were such famous amateurs as Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, who holds the record for the British open of 285 over St. Andrews links in addition to other titanic perform- ances; Chick Evans of Chicago, holder of the American open record of 286 for the last 12 years; Jimmie Johnston of Minneapolis, who led the national open last year at the end of 36 holes; and also a score of professionals who have been knock- ing at the door of the national open Ab.

The course over which the tourna- ment is to be played was pro- nounced by the contestants, almost unanimously, the most beautiful they have ever seen. The terrain is rolling and at times picturesquely interrupted by a bluff, laden with wild flowers, and intercepted some thirteen times by a meandering creek, The greens are undulating and sloping, so that in almost every instance the putt must be played to a cup set in a slanting turf. Then LN FOTHERGIL depended upon his ability to get rid of 40 pounds. “You may be a good ball player and are a great hitter, but you can’t weigh 225 pounds and play on this club,” the manager told him. With the most perfect game a golfer ever has had, Bobby Jones, as an old Scottish pro put it at St. Anne’s two years ago, “ought to be a champion until he dies.” But the shadow of the swelling waist is threatening the career of the great young golfer. Two years ago he had to recognize the prob- lem of weight and diet during the big tournaments. As he gets older he naturally gets heavier and his short frame is not of the kind to take up the weight. Benny Leonard had to give up a boxing championship that was worth $250,000 a year because he couldn’t keep his weight within the 135- ip the lightweight class. BILLY PETROLLE TO BID FOR TITLE BOUT Meets Bruce Flowers Again Tonight in Detroit Arena Before 10,000 Detroit, June 21.—(#'—Billy Pe- trolle, Fargo lightweight, and Bruce Flowers, negro contender, meet here tonight in a ten - round bout that may determine an oppon- ent for Sammy Mandell, champion, here this summer. The bout is one of a series of lightweight elimination contests. The promoters hope to sign the win- ner of the Petrolle-Flowers bout with Stanislaus Loayza, or the winner of the Jimmy McLarnin Mc- Graw bout in New York tonight for the final of the series. Mandell has signified willingness to meet the winner of the final at Navin field here this summer, it was said. HUNGRY PHILS Yenks and Athletics Split in STARTLE FANS | BY WINNING 7| Crucial Two-Game Day at New York City (By The Associated Press) The ferocious Phils, hungry for games, remain at large. They have developed an unaccountable tend- ency to slam their betters on the chin. Other teams may be fight- ing for mere pennants, but when the Phillies so far forget them- selves as to win seven out of nine, they are news. Not satisfied with Walter Ler- ian’s triple which outraged Dazzy Vance on Tuesday, the Phils jumped on Jumbo Jim Elliott and Doug McWeeny for enough hits to win the second game of the Brooklyn series yesterday, 6 to 2. Hub Pruett, whose chief claim_to fame is that he fanned Babe Ruth ten times one season, turned in a neat game for the baker boys, and Don Hurst helped with his eighth home run, Cards Win The Cardinals made it ten out of eleven and increased their lead over the Reds to four full games by tak- ing the series opener from the Cubs in Chicago 6 to 2. Jess Haines out- pitched both Percy Lee Jones and Guy Bush, and a majestic home run by Grimm, the Chicago first base- man, was purely decorative. The Heder slipped fugther back to- ward the Giants as the Pirates made up a bit of ground by shad- ing Eppa Rixey, 2 to 1. More heartening to Pirate fans than the victory itself was the form Remy Kremer flashed in achieving it.

The Athletics reached Herb Pen- nock for thirteen hits in five and one-third innings, but just were ahead, 6 to 5, until Wilcy Moore crumbled in the ninth. Old Man Quinn, who once was jerked from a two-hit game by the impatient Connie, was strong in the pinches after the one Yankee flurry.
