’ ) New Type Baseball Has Little Effect on Cleveland Battin ‘4 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1981 g Averages AMERICAN GROUT. |AMERICAN ASSOCIATION CLUBS MOVE TO WESTERN PARKS 12 RUNS PER GAME Roger Peckinpaugh’s Warriors Get 16 Hits to Defeat St. Louis Browns LEAGUE LEAD IS INCREASED White Sox Triumph Over De- troit 6-5 to End Tiger Win- ning Streak (By The Associated Press) Whatever the effect of the new sphere on other major league clubs, it has acted as nothing but a tonic for those clubbing Cleveland Indians. In 11 contests to date, the Amer- fan League pace setters have given one of the greatest demonstrations of collective hitting seen in either circuit fm recent years. They Jiteraliy have blasted their way to the top, averag- ing slightly better than 12 hits to the game. Their own pitching has been nothing to get excited about, but they haven't needed it. In only three bouts has the tribe been held under double figures in the hit column. Tuesday Roger Peckin- paugh’s warriors propelled 16 safe ‘ones off two St. Louis Brown pitchers to win their fifth victory in six starts, 10 to 9. The Browns broke loose on their own account in the ninth, scor- ing eight runs, but the Indians had the to come back and score three in their half to tie it up and then win out in the 10th. By winning the Indians gained ground on their closest rivals the Yankees and Senators, who battled to 14-inning draw at Washington, 7 to 7. It was their second extra-inning tilt in as many days. The Scnators scored three runs in the ninth to pro- Jong the duel. Fischer did not allow the Yankees a hit the last five in- nings, but his mates could not score on Young Vernon Gomez. Detroit's four-game winning streak ‘was snapped by Pat Caraway of the ‘White Sox, 6 to 5. Bill Cisse/l pro- vided the winning margin with a homer, the first hit by a Chicago Player this season. The Brooklyn Robins encountered another southpaw, with the usual re- sult. They collected 11 hits off Crafty Clarence Mitchell of the Giants, but he tightened in the pinches 10 beat them, 3 to 2. Nine of the Robins’ 10 defeats have been credited to left- handers. The Giants bunched their four blows off Watson Clark. After taking two on the chin, the St. Louis Cardinals came back to stop the Pirates, 8 to 2, Burleigh Grimes registering his third straight win. Bottomley’s homer was one of the five Cardinal hits off Wood and Spencer. Bill McKetchnie gave his veteran Pitchers a rest and the Boston Braves dropped a 9 to 8 decision to the Phil- les. The defeat knocked the Braves back into a virtual tie with the Cubs and Cardinals for the National League lead. The Phillies scored once 4m the seventh to tie it up and then put across the winning run in the ninth. Virgil Davis led the winners’ attack with two singles and a double, end Maranville punched three doubles for the losers. ‘The scheduled game between Cin- einnati and Chicago at Cincinnat! ‘was postponed for the funeral of Garry Herrmann, former president of the Reds. Cold weather again blocked the Athletics and Red Sox at Boston. Bemidji Fighter Beats Rippatoe Mickey O'Donnel, Sioux City, Wins From Segal on Fargo Elks Card Fargo, N. D., April 29.—(7}—Red y, Bemidji, Minn., decisively Hageert: ye defeated Kid Rippatoe, Sioux City, Towa, in the feature six-round bout of the weekly Elks amateur boxing fard here Tuesday night. Haggerty ‘won five of the six rounds, only the fourth going to Rippatoe who was wrowded all the way. Haggerty weigh- ed 142 pounds; Rippatoe 13814. Mickey O'Donnell, also of Sioux City, won as he pleased from Harold Segal of Minneapolis. Like Hagger- ty, O'Donnell won five of the six rounds, although not so decisively as . Segal won only the open- ing round. They are lightweights. In a four-round bout, Jack Fletch- er of Fargo had a shade the better of George Horwitz, Fargoan who went to the final of the welterweight division !n the recent northwest Gold- en Gloves tournament. DAY’S ST Ss -, Defeats Clyde Hull Minot, N. D., April 20.—UP)—Her- Sercaten Clyde Mull of Clark,'S. @ 10-round bout here Son of St. Germaine Selected as Potential Victor of Ken- tucky Classic Many experts predict that the Ken- tucky Derby May 16 will be strictly a two-horse race, and just as strictly, a family affair. “Sonny” Whitney has entered his star, Equipoise, and the Greentree Whitneys have nominated Twenty Grand. ‘Twenty Grand is a giant son of St. Germaine and Bonus, by All Gold. Standing a full 16 hands, he has the strength and breeding of a great route runner, plus tremendous speed. Mrs. Payne Whitney believes that for the first time the Greentree silks will triumph in the Derby. Is Equipoise Rival Any attempt to analyze the record of Twenty Grand must include a com- parison with Equipoise. They met three times as two-year-olds. The son of St. Germaine won twice, Equi- poise once. In the first of these meetings, the Junior Championship, Twenty Grand surprised the betting wise by soundly whipping Equipoise. Equipoise had no excuse except a poor start. Twenty Grand’s second victory over Jockey Workman's mount was in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. This race—a mile, with all colts carrying 122 pounds—is generally considered the final test of a juvenile’s worth. The winner usually is the future book favorite to win the Derby. The race was a brilliant duel between the two horses, and provided fans a thrilling exhibition of fine running. The time was 1:36, a full second faster than the two-year-old record, and the two horses finished inches apart. Don Leon broke in front but Equipoise was right at his heels, and beaded him at the half. Twenty Grand did not make his bid until the stretch. He passed Equipoise at the three-sixteenths post and managed to hold his lead despite the closing rush of Workman’s mount. Is Derby Favorite In the Pimlico Futurity, Equipoise beat Twenty Grand by half a length. The track was a sea of mud. Twenty Grand, a big horse, did not like the going. Nevertheless, he broke in front and held his advantage until the last 20 yards or so. At this point Equi- poise, who had got a poor start, came from the rear to win by half a length. Equipoise is the future book fa- vorite for victory on May 16, but Twenty Grand is close behind. Twen- ty Grand lacks the grace and symme- try of Equipoise, nor does he have the ability to hang to the rail and the brilliant change of pace that his rival has. He has just one pace, but that is fast, with endurance to back it up. He has fine post manners and breaks well. This cannot be said of Equi- poise. ‘The Greentree Whitneys have been preparing Twenty Grand for the Ken- tucky Derby ever since he first went to the post. He has had fine and careful training. Mrs. Whitney did not believe in jeopardizing the chances of her horse by too much work as a two-year-old. Thus, Twen- ty Grand will be in the best of shape at Churchill Downs. Golf Body to Not Limit Membership Professional Golfers’ Associa- tion Welcomes Playing Professionals Chicago, April 29—(#)}—The Pro- fessional Golfers’ association has no intention to limit its membership to Pros, who repair clubs and teach the game, Albert R. Gates, business ad- ministrator for the golf group, said Wednesday. Gates also denied reports that the playing professionals planned to with- draw from the P. G. A. and establish an organization for themselves. “These reports are without tqynda- tion,” Gates said. “I may hav said that the playing professions consti- ) BATDEMONS ANNEX |Pick Twenty Grand As Equipoise Rival OLD-TIMER REMEMBERS * *-* * When Preacher Was Fighter xe & UGHT IN SALOON aes BATTLE FO Editor’s Note: This is the sec- ond of a series of stories written for the Tribune by a real old- timer in North Dakota who always has been interested in sport and sporting contests. “Speakin’ of fighters,” said the Old-Timer easing himself into his fa- vorite chair, “I had a letter from a feller the other day who might have been a champeen if he hadn’t been @ preacher.” No one had been speaking of fight- ers, but the crowd gathered around just the same, so the Old-Timer con- tinued: “Now, boys, I don’t want you to get the idee that all the old-time sports was roughnecks, or that every rough- neck was a sport back in them days, because that wasn’t so. But we did have a rough element to battle with, and it was a part of our job to keep them fellers from raisin’ too much hell. I remember one such case—I won't mention the name o' the town, because several o’ those fellers are still livin’ there and they're all tax- payers and law-abidin’. “The local preacher had been shoutin’ for several Sundays against the rough element, and one night the gang laid for the preacher and beat him up. He was in the hospital two weeks, and then the church folks sent him to a more civilized town. Need New Minister “The good folks were stumped— didn’t know if they could get a new preacher or not. The gang had sent out word they wasn’t going to tolerate any more gospel-sharks. “This happened jest before I got on a train to come to North Dakota. I had to lay over at a junction over- night before I could go on to the rough-and-tumble village where this happened. I didn’t know what I was gettin’ into—I had picked it fer my future home. “The little junction hotel was crowded, and I had to bunk with a young fella about my own age. He was a short, chunky Scotchman, who had played a lot o’ soccer and done some boxing at a college in Canada. He was right up to snuff on sport. I was purty good myself, so we went out and tried everything from liftin’ weights to runnin’ the hundred yards —and darned if he didn’t beat me at everything! “That night in our room we was right in the middle of a hot argyment about John L. Sullivan and Jake Kil- rain, when the Scotch lad looked up at the clock and sald, “My goodness, it's gettin’ late,” and right then and there he plumped himself down on his knees and said his prayers. I said to myself, ‘Gosh all-Friday, what kind of a fight fan is this I've been thrown in with?” “Well, boys, I don't s'pose you can imagine how supprised I was when we got to our destination the next day, and I found out my companion * oe % * oe O% was the new preacher, who had come to fill in for the one that got beat up. The town was in a riot and things be- gan to happen right off. My second night there I strolled into a blind pig to get a ring-side view of a rumpus that was goin’ on. It was a coupla stewed lumberjacks, backed up by the gang, busy crackin’ up the furniture. “Well, I was green—couldn’t keep my mouth shut, and began shooting it off. In jest a jiffy them rough- necks had torn a brand new suit o” clothes from my body—all but the pants—but I was able to make my get-away with a whole skin, partly because I could use my fists, and partly because a husky farmer had stripped off his mackinaw and was takin’ my part. I had to borrow money to buy some clothes, so I could go and hear the new preacher the next Sunday. “I don't think the new preacher spent much time studyin’ his prayer book the next few days. He kept walkin’ up and down the street most of the time, all alone. It was a chal- Jenge and the gang knew it. One day he was goin’ to the depot, and two men came out and walked toward him. As luck would have it, they had been pointed out to him—they were the ringleaders. He knew that “IT” ‘was goin’ to happen. Walks into Trap “When they got about a hop-skip- and-jump apart, the two men split up—one to the right, the other to the left on the sidewalk. The preach- er knew it was a trap, but walked right into it with his eyes open. When they closed in, he knew just what to do—he crotch-locked one of the fellers and threw him clean over his head, then turned around and wrestled the other one to the ground. After that they used their fists. and the preacher licked ‘em both: in fact he licked ‘em so hard that they had to take to their heels to keep from goin’ down in history as martyrs to @ cause. “That didn’t end it by any means, but the young gospel shark finally won out, and in a few months had most of the rough boys comin’ to his church. He wasn’t so much on preachin’, his Christianity being mostly of the muscular kind, but he sure was the scrappiest parson I ever saw. In a coupla years, the older sisters in the church began to feel shocked because the preacher tore around with the boys, boxin’ and run- ning footraces,so he up and resigned and went to farmin’. Boys, that’s one business you can allus go into, and you needn't be afraid that either man or the devil will come around and ask fer your credentials. to) “Well, boys, it’s gettin’ late and I to be home at 9—” “But uncle, we wanted you to tell us about the prize-fighters you used to know in the early days.” “Oh, well, we'll get to that by and by—just keep your shirts on.” tute about 10 per cent of our mem- bership but I never said that our or- ganization did not care anything about the playing pro. The playing pros are cooperating with us to the best of their ability and are not planning to withdraw their member- ships.” Some criticism was leveled at the P. G. A. recently when it announced that no golfer would be admitted to mem- bership until he had served as an ap- prentice in club making, repairing, and teaching for two years. Virtual- ly all of the big money winning play- ers, however, have served two years or more in that capacity and are ac- cepted members in the association.

Between 45,000 and 50,000 were ex- pected to swing through the turn- stiles at four western parks to cheer their home teams at victorious in- augurals and to get a glimpse of the Rookies and old favorites who have been burning up the circuit this sea- Son in the east. ‘The largest opening day crowd of the season, 15,000 fans, was anticipat- ed at Milwaukee where the rejuvenat- ed Brewers tangled with the last place Toledo Mudhens. One of the big at- tractions was Tony Kubek, the 19- year old Milwaukee Polish boy, who signalized his debut in the Brewer uniform by smacking the ball for a Gizzy average of .550 in his first five games. Arthur “The Great” Shires, who has been riding the sphere around the .400 mark, was also in for 8 big day. At the Twin Cities, between 10,000 and 12,000 were expected to watch In- dianapolis battle at St. Paul and the league-leading Louisville Colonels in- vade Minneapolis. Ten thousand were expected at Kansas City to see the home opener between the Blues and the Columbus Red Birds. Thomas Jefferson Hickey, president of the league, was a guest of honor at the St. Paul-Indianapolis opener. A revision of games played between the western and eastern teams in the eastern fields discloses that they broke even, although Louisville gave the east a slight edge by taking first place with eight victories against three defeats. All told the teams Played 42 games, with the western entries capturing 21 and the eastern clubs the same number. At the fin- ish, there were two teams from each section in each the first and second divisions with five games separating the first place Colonels from the last place Toledo Mudhens.

Ingram’s Coast Job Costs Man Age Title Moraga, Cal., April 29.—(?)—Ed- ward P. “Slip” Madigan, oldest foot- ball coach on the Pacific coast in point of service, has lost his claim to being the youngest in years. William “Navy Bill” Ingram, with 33 years behind him, took the St. Mary's mentor’s age title when he came out to coach University of Cal- ifornia. And until Bert Metzger came along with the 1930 edition of Notre Dame, Madigan had been the lightest guard to have played on @ Rockne eleven. Precedent Does Not Bother Howard Jones Los Angeles, April 29. Howard Jones, whose grid warriors trampled Denver university 33 to 13 last season has been engaged as sum- mer coach by the Colorado institution and Southern California supporters are hoping history will not repeat. ‘The previous summer Jones sum~- mer-coached Washington State after his proteges had decisively beaten the Snake Hunting Is Collegian Sport phasis hunting, unless it be by engineers at Oklahoca A. and Why do most golfers need three or four holes in which to warm up? * * * Spectators at the 1930 National Open at Interlachen could have seen Hagen, Jones, Smith, Sarazen and others of their favorites perform with all of their sticks without moving from the comforting shade near the practice tee.

But getting back to business, this shows how serious the Stars take their practice shots, a de- partment neglected by 50 per cent of the duffers. ‘The practice tee is the place to iron out your shots and loosen your muscles for play. It won't hurt any Player to hit at least five shots with each club in his bag before stepping up to the first tee.

Withhold Title in Sharkey-Carnera Fight in New York Commission to Wait Before Awarding Heavyweight Title Recognition New York, April 29.—(4)—Appar- ently warned by last year’s horrible example—the fiasco that started out to be a heavyweight championship fight between Max Schmeling and Jack Sharkey, the New York state athletic commission has decided to wait and see before awarding cham- pionship recognition to the meeting of Sharkey and Primo Carnera at Ebbets Field June 10. Unless the weather or the threat- ened suit of the Madison Square Gar- den corporation causes trouble, the 15-round bout is all set for June 10. The commission Tuesday granted its permission for that. But, Chairman James A. Farley explained, no request for title recoguition had been re- ceived. He indicated that part of the Te might be taken up at a later late. ‘The threatened legal entangiements now look like the most serious cloud on the horizon of Pomoter James J. Johnston. The Garden through a sub- sidiary holds a contract with Carnera for him to meet the winner of the Schmeling-Young Stribling fight in Cleveland July 3 and claims that a clause bars the giant Italian from other fights. And the Garden au- thorities say they intend to enforce this agreement, taking legal measures if necessary. Farley brought out a new angle of the argument in his comments. He said the Garden had been told last winter that the commission would re- instate Carnera here if he was matched with Sharkey and the bout would be recognized as a champion- ship affair. Homers Increase in American Loop Junior League to Recognize More Home Runs by New Rule Interpretation Chicago, April 29.—(#)—A more Hberal interpretation on home runs in the American League has enabled the junior circiut to tie the National League in the production of four-base wallops. Last year the National League pro- duced 892 home runs to 673 for the American League, but to date each league has 41 each.

The huge field was reduced con- siderably by more than seven hours of scrapping Tuesday night, involving 44 bouts, but another big program is scheduled for Wednesday night to bring the original 150 entries down to the semi-final rounds.
