For six innings the two teams battled scoreless, first one team threatening and then the other. But when Steele came to bat in the sev- enth and eighth frames, they could not be denied. After the trict first six innings of si Pitchers’ battle, McGivern opene@ the seventh frame with a long double. ed following the shortstop to the platter, repeated the doubling stunt to score his team mate.

Bismarck threatened to score in the sixth. Sagehorn singled and reached third on Love's double. With two out, Fuller stepped to the plat- ter and knocked an easy grounder to Secondbaseman Edwards who threw him out at first to retire the team with men on second and third bases. McGivern, Rafferty, and Schlosser each got two hits in four trips to the latter. All other Steele batsmen failed to register safe clouts. Mc- Givern’s play was sensational contest, the lanky shortstop making five putouts all over the infield and outfield and mak- ing two beautiful throws to first base. His timely hitting lowered the Bismarck flag. Bismarck Played Well Bismarck also played a great game, though the team was guilty of three errors, only one of which re- sulted in a score. Johnson, Sage- horn, and Fuller each hit singles and Love hit a double to complete the Gray hitting record in the game. Mohn, Tobin, Guidas, and Nagel were held hitless by the Steele mound star to the great surprise of the majority of Bismarck fans. Tobin, Sagehorn, and Johnson were each guilty of errors. Steele played the best baseball in the game, taking advantage of every break, playing errorless, and out- clouting the local outfit. RAILROADERS WIN THIRD IN TOURNEY Lefty Teie pitched his second shut- out of the tournament for the James- town Northern Pacific nine in the first game rday afternoon, whipping the arek Workmen 5 to 0 for third place in the meet and $125 prize money. - Though intermittent rain made it necessary to halt the game several times and call it at the end of the sixth inning, the railroaders showed their superiority. Teie allowed only two hits in the contest and whiffed batsmen. Pitching two games, 15 innings in Teie held his opponents score- less, gave three hits, and whiffed 22 batters. The southpaw hails from Hatton and is a close friend of Lieut. Carl Ben Eielson, famous North Da- kota flyer who flew across the North Pole early in the year. The Workmen used two pitchers in the contest, the midget F. Hummel and L. Klein, who were touched for eight hits and five runs. Fetch and B. Klein, each hitting singles, were the only members of the Workmen lineup who could get next to Teie. Boehm, railroader centerfielder, hit twice in four trips to the plate. was Elizabeth Robinson, shown here as she arrived in New York. No, those are not the shoes in which she captured the 100-meter sprint for women. They're a pair of Dutch wooden ones, now well autographed, which were presented to her in Holl land. The Jimmies scored one run in each the second and third frames and three in the fifth. STEELE SHUTS OUT JIMMIE SHOP TEAM The Steele baseballers won their Wyecsiskola and scored when Patera lined out the third successive single in the inning. Mohn doubled in the first inning, put lein’s took third as Tobin was bein; out at first, and scored on L. way into the final contest by elim- | overthrow. Nagel scored in the fourth inating the Jamestown Northern Pa-} cific club 10 to 0 Saturday after- Noon. The Jimmie outfit objected to Steele's use of Daniels as a base coach because the hurler wasn’t reg- istered for the meet, but agreed to let the game go on record after a meeting with the committee in charge of the tourney Saturday night. The two teams are going to meet at the Bismarck athletic field in a grudge battle next Sunday, it was announced at the ball park yester- jay. Both teams went scoreless for three innings, Steele pushing across one counter in the fourth which was enough to satisfy them until their characteristically “happy seventh.” Rafferty doubled in the fourth and scored on Mix’s double, who followed him in the batting order. The Steel- ers scored three in the seventh and went wild in the eighth, counting six markers, Erickson pitched real ball until he | blew up in the seventh, but Rafferty had a slight edge on him all the ray. Mix, Steele firstbaseman, hit safe- ly three times in four attempts, two of his swats teing doubles. Gloomy Gus Lindblom, in the Steele outfield defensively, hit safely three times in four trips, chiefly because of his ability to beat out short taps. Ep- stein got a single and double in four trips and Edwards and Anderson each secured two hits in five trips. Boehm, W. Powell, and Erickson, each hit safely twice in four trips for the railroaders. The Jimmies were guilty of two errors and Steele erred but once. GRAYS BEAT WORKMEN TO REPRESENT CITY Day's earned run in the sixth in- ning saved the Bismarck A. 0. U. W. outfit from a shutout in the semi- finals Saturday as the Bismarck Grays played nice baseball behind the impressive pitching of Bob Olson, athlete well known in western state jeollege circles, to win the contest 5 io 1 Day singled in the sixth, advanced to second on another single by inning, and the Grays pushed three over in the fifth frame, ending the scoring for the contest. George Heidt, youthful Mandan star, pitched nice ball for the losers, granting only 10 hits, six of which wre secured by Nagel and Sage- orn. The lanky Gray shortstop was the hitting star of the game with two doubles and a single in four trips. Nagel got three singles in his four changes. B. Klein got two hits in three trips for the Workmen, followed by Day and Patera, who each hit safely twice in four tries. TONY LAZZERI MAY NOT PLAY REST OF YEAR |i: New York, Aug. 27.—(AP)—More gnashing of teeth in the camp of the New York Yankees! Tony Laz- zeri, hard-hitting, agile-fielding sec- ond baseman of the champions, may ;Play no more baseball this season. Tony suffered a muscle injury in his shoulder during the Yankee: last disastrous invasion of the we: and has been in only a few ga since. Every time he plays tl jury is ps Hitbeaget and it begins to look like Miller Huggins will have to depend upon Leo Durocher at second base for the balance of the season. With the Philadelphia Ath- letics only three games behind, Laz- zeri’s absence from the lineup of the champions is serious. Not only is Tony’s hitting and fielding skill missed, but Mark Koenig, at short- stop, teams better with Lazzeri than with any other second baseman Hug- gins can use. Z ’ po ES Georgia Tech, expecting one of its her football boys, may trim Notre Dame this year.

FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) The greatest competitive athlete in the world, an undisputed Ab is played, the girl with the thousand per cent average—Helen Wills. Extravagant, perhaps, this cita- tion of the young California lady but her record warrants superlatives, She is the superlative star of the most universally played game in the world. i Bobby Jones can be defeated, Babe Ruth can strike out with the bases by a bush college thei: fortune is dismissed with the thought that such e law of aver- ages. ‘ But when Helen Wills is defeated it will be the greatest upset that can happen on any field of sport. At the age of twenty-two she is so com- pletely the mistress of her athletic art that she has no competicion. And when there is a picture of Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, past the age of forty, playing a very fine game in major tournament competition, there are reasons to speculate that the chai ing Califo: miss will rule for at least ten more years. : She has the game, the physical attributes and the love uf the game to qualify her to reign as the queen of the courts at least yontil .she reaches the middle thirties, when an athlete generally begins to fade. But the lady athletes in tennis last long- er than the men. Miss Wills has been playing cham- pionship tennis for aight years and yet she has steadily improved her game. Rene Lacoste, observing her as she was winning the recent French and British championships, said that she had vastly improved her game since last year. “There doesn't seem to bs much about her game that can be im: proved,” he said. “But she keeps impressing you that she is so much better.” friss Mary X. 3rewne, one of the best authorities in the world, says—‘Helen is obviously better every time I see her.” This recognized 1mprovement that she works in her game is leading more and more of the cricics to be- lieve that the power of the Wills game in resent form would over- come the skill of the Lenglen gume in its best day, hut thet is a sub- ject of fruitless controversy. The only way for Miss Wills to prove herself is t> make a better record over a number of years than the French star did and to make it against harder competition and it may not be in error to say that the American girl has already proved herself gist harder competition. Virinie Richards said recently that Helen would be able to beat any man in the country under the first twenty a few days later she went out on the courts and won a straight sct match from Fritz Mercur, fifteenth ranking player, who had just beaten Bill Tilden and George Lott. The spectators thought that Mer- cur was chivalrous and did not let. himself out, but some critics felt just as sure that Helen was playing under wraps. Mrs. Molla Mallory holds the American record by having won the national championship ‘eight times, four of the titles having been won in |” succession. Miss Wills already has won the championship five times and she cei ly would have tied Mrs. Mallory’s record for continuous championships and bettered it if she had not been forced out of the tour- nament in 1926 poy appendicec- tomy in Paris. She was unable to defend her title that year. Miss Wills was the national girl champion in 1921 and 1922 and she was the runner-up to Mrs. Mallory in the nationals in-1922. ‘won the national championship in 1923, 1924, 1925, 1927 and 1928.

Swimmer Honored 1G IAN TS RETURN FOR ATTACK ON TEAMS IN EAST Made Poor Start With Eastern Brothers Yesterday Los- ing to Brooklyn (By the Associated Press) With the National league's fifth intersectional series virtually over, the four western contenders now can begin cutting each other’s throats while the New York Giants, wrathful over their recent beatings at Cincin- nati and Pittsburgh, seek to visit their vengeance on the more or less helpless east. But John didn’t start out very well yesterday. The Giants were out- gamed by the Brooklyn Dodgers 4 to 3, Del Bissonette picking the tenth inning as the spot for his twentieth home run of the season. | The defeat was all the more ‘costly for McGraw in that the St. Louis Cardinals, themselves buffeted around in recent weeks, again ‘trimmed the helpless Phillies 6 to 1 and lengthened their lead to three and a half games over the Giants and the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, defeating the Boston Braves 6 to 3, for the fourth straight time, moved to within five t= age points of the Giants. e Cubs have won four more s than the runners-up, but they've also lost four more. Finding their hold on fourth place rather insecure, the Cincinnati Reds downed the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 to 3 and thus put two full games be- tween themselves and the 1927 pen- nant winners. Red Lucas shut out the Pirates until the ninth, when they scored three runs and had the tying run on first base. Lucas got jartell on strikes for the final out. Braxton was the whol Washington defeated Cle 1 in the only American league en- gagement of the day. The Senators’ left-hander, one of the few con- sistent pitchers Bucky Harris has right now, allowed only five hits and struck out seven men.
