THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1930 ‘DEMON CONTINGENT AND FARGO MIDGETS QUALIFY 18 APIECE Bismarck Shocks Fans by Fail- ing in Two Hurdles, High Jump, and Javelin CLOSE RACE IS ANTICIPATED Century Mark Equaled Not Broken; Anamoose Youth Fast in Furlong Grand Forks, N. D., May 17.—(P)— Battling against a stiff wind and in a chilling temperature, athletes from Bismarck and Fargo led the field in preliminaries of the 28th state inter- Scholastic track meet here yesterday. Fifteen men each were qualified by Bismarck and Fargo to become out- standing contenders for the cham- pionship in the finals Saturday. Weather conditions prevented any- thing better than average perform- ances in all events except the sprints. Prescott of Steele and Benzon of Bis- marck tied in the 100-yard dash to equal the meet record of 10 1-5 sec- onds. Cecil. Graham‘ of Anamoose broke the state record in the 220-yard dash by a fifth of a second when he ran the first: heat in 22 2-5 seconds. How- ever, a strong wind was at his back and the time may not be allowed. Ellendale, with two athletes, Hill and Schmierer, qualified in seven events, while Valley City also placed seven in the finals. Fessenden and Grand Forks Central qualified four each; Harvey, Mohall, Mandan, Uni- versity high of Grand Forks, Denhoff and Northwood, three; Anamoose, Steele, Hannah and Oakes two, and Mayville, Langdon, Jamestown, Cava- lier, La Moure and New Rockford, one each. Preliminaries were run in all events except the mile and half mile relay. The battle between Fargo and Bis- marck for the championship looks like a tossup. Fargo will score heavily in the hurdles while Bismarck will collect in the weights. The summary of the preliminaries: 100 yards—First heat: Graham, An- Berquist, Grand Forks, 10 2-5 seconds.

Bismarck Faces Hard Task in Defending State Track Title at Forks FELIX OLDBOYS AND LORD FAUNTLEROYS READY FOR. OPENER SHOOTING WITH yy DENNY SHUTE SHUTE A problem among many golters, particularly those of the duffer class. is relaxation. ‘They understand that the word means the remission of ten- sion, but they seem to have trouble in finding that spot at which they are relaxed but retain firm control of their movements. One can be free of stiffness or locked joints and still maintain firmness. Firmness allows a freedom of motion that is not to be found when tension or strain is on any particular section. I have seen golfers who thought they had to relax to the extent that | they were inclined to collapse. The result is that their swings are punch- | less. True, gripping the club too tightly is an evil, but good shots do not come | from a flabby grip. There must be a firm grip that still permits the flex- ibility in the wrists. With regard to the hands, the club can be held firmly and in complete control by just four fingers, the third and fourth on the left hand and the thumb and forefinger of the right; hand. And the flexibility remains | the wrists. (Copyright, 1930, NEA Service, Ine.) | ' TOMORROW A Good Habit of | Johnny Farrel!

The Boston Red Sox put on a les- ser ninth inning rally to win the jclosest American League game by a 5 to 4 count from the New York Yan- kees.

The game is to be a benefit affair. Admission has been set at 25 cents. The funds so derived will be applied to the expense of setting up the American Legion junior city league of four clubs, each of which is going to require the expenditure of about to equip and get going. Ayers Tosses First Ball Bill Ayers, Lion president, will start the game by tossing the first ball. H. B; Neighbor, who managed baseball clubs in the early 80's and is credited with being the inspiration of several notable national managerial careers in baseball, will manage the oldboys and will catch the game. Sam King will pitch. Bill Doty and Roland H. Crane will put on the vaudeville stunts, all of a character of Nick Altrock’s championship series clowning. Dave Shipley will umpire. He has a whole bag of new deci- sions ready to use, having been sup- Plied by the state supreme court specially for this occasion. The lineups will be announced when the game opens. Dr. C. E. Stackhouse, health officer, will be on the scene to see that nobody over- does himself or that the city health code is broken. Ambulances also will be on the grounds, in case the-play- ers require physical attention. Great Contest Promised The contest promises to be & hot and thrilling one. The Oldboys have been rubbing their joints with lini- ment for more than a week and are well limbered up for the fray. The boys have been practicing in this time and working up a line of strat- egy that ought to forever settle the *j{ burning problem of whether base- ball was ® more scientific game in 1884 than it is in 1930, as John Ho- man, one of the players, maintains.

Prince ‘Frozen’ When He Played Golf With Bobby By O. B. KEELER Semdwich, Eng., May 17.—(P}—Aft- er lunch as the Americans were win- ning their sixth in a row from the British Walker cup golf players, I saw a fine chance to make a little picture of the Prince of Wales. Some- how, I could not do it, surreptitious- ly, as he sat at a little table on the lawn by the old club house. So I walked over and asked him, just as I would President Hoover or Calvin Coolidge, or anybody in our country. “Charmed,” said Albert Edward, and squared himself off at the little table. And I got the picture, and he’ seemed actually to recall my intro- duction to him at Sunningdale, and he got up and talked golf to Pete Erwin and me for 10 minutes. I presented Pete, and the prince at once asked what his handicap was, and Pete, a member at the royal an- cient, was able to say it was seven. The prince said his handicap was 12. “I have been in Africa a lot in these last two years,” he explained. “And I haven't played as much golf as I should like.” “Were you really embarrassed play- ing with Bobby Jones and Jimmy Johnston?” I asked. He said: ‘ Prince Was ‘Frozen’ “Terribly. I was frozen. I never got to hitting the ball until the last three holes.” As it turned out, that was the time I was able to tell the prince his play ‘on the last three holes accounted for his side getting a draw. He Sppeared | ° distinctly pleased. “You really think so?” he inquired. I told him I did not think anything deal. I tried to learn something but I could not get my mind on anything but the match, which we were about to lose. It was a sharp match. I was awfully pleased to have been with Bobby on a side that got a draw.” All afternoon he switched from Bobby’s match to that of George von Elm, attired in a checked golf suit, @ dull crimson tie and salmon pink shirt with a pair of huge binoculars slung over his shoulder. He came over in a plane again and flew back after the matches. In @ most casual sort of way he said: Wales Loves Golf “I love golf and I have never seen anything finer than this, Bobby is going to play with me again, I think this week-end at Trent park.” T love to recall the Prince of Wales. ‘Another Bobby Jones?” they asked.

Al- though ‘he has not taken part in as many games as most of his rivals, the averages issued today, which in- clude Wednesday’s games, show Stephenson at the head of those who have been at bat often enough to be rated as regulars with a .458 average. O'Doul is. not far behind, holding second place with .451, with a clear 30 point mark over Frank Hogan of the New York Giants.

Veteran Sam Rice Hits at a .419 Clip To Pace American Tommy Oliver Is Second, While George Herman Ruth Moves Into Third Place Chicago, May 17.—(P)— Edgar Charles (Sam) Rice, serving his six- teenth year as a member of the Washi Senators, hammered the ball sufficiently to add 32 points to his average during the fourth week of the American League campaign, and shot from 12th to the top of the individual batting column with a mark of .419, figures which include Wednesday's games, revealed today. Rice, an outfielder during 15 of his 16 seasons, replaced young Tommy Oliver of the Boston Red Sox, whose average fell 25 points, dropping him to fourth position. The familiar name of George Herman Ruth of the Yankees was in third place by virtue of a 20 point gain during the week. Other regulars behind Rice were: Burnett, Cleveland, .397; Ruth, New York, .383; Oliver, Boston, .382; Cis- sell, Chicago, .379; McManus, Detroit, .373; Falk, Cleveland, .372; Jamieson, Cleveland, .364; Judge, Washington, .362; Simmons, Philadelphia, .359. Cleveland’s Indians not only re- mained out in front in team batting, but added 19 points for an average of .321. Boston remained second but ° dropped off two points to 286. De- troit, which led in batting last sea- son and was one of the weakest field- ing clubs in the league, apparently has gone into reverse. The Tigers were batting in seventh position, and were fielding second to the world champion Athletics, who led with a mark of 983, a point off from last week's average. Robert Moses Grove reached the top of the pitching heap during the week, scoring a single victory for a record of four straight. Sam Jones of Washington, with three victories and no defeats, was second. Grove, as usual, was the strikeout artist, with 39 in seven games. sf Other leaders were: Team home runs—Philadelphia, 20; runs—Phila- delphia, 167; opponents’ runs—St. ..
