Battalino Keeps His Fight Title Featherweight Champ Booed| by Crowd of 9,000; Bet- ting Favored Loser New York, May 23.—(4)—Christoph- er (Bat) Battalino of Hartford, Cinn., still wore the royal mantle that be- longs to a world's featherweight champion Saturday but it fitted him no better than the first day he conned it. i An under-dog in the betting, Bat-| talino walked off with the decision over Fidel Labarba of Los Angeles Friday night after 15 rounds of as dull and uninteresting fighting as the Garden has seen. Even. in victory, Battalino at no time flashed the sort of form that has come to be associated with cham- pions. He chased La Barba all around the ring but wasn’t exact# sure what to do with him once he cvertook him. All in all, it was a very sad affair and the crowd of 9.100 signified its hearty disapproval first by jeers and booes and finally with a shower of inaccurately aimed pennies. In justice to the champion, how- ever, it must be said that he tried to make a fight of it. He forced what fighting there was but his awk- wardness contrived to hinder the ef- fectiveness of his attack. Labarba, usually one of the most aggressive of battlers, opened up only in flashes. The Californian, making scarcely a single offensive move, dropped the first four rounds. He rallied a little in the fifth, won it and the next three as well. After drab, even wrestling in the ninth and 10th, Battalino carried the 11th and 12th. Again Labarba came out of his leth- argic state long enough to win the 13th and 14th but Battalino, much the . Stronger of the two, won the 15th and with it, the decision. Battalino just made the class limit barba weighed McKenzie Nine Beats Moffit Baseball Team McKenzie, N.

D., May 23.—)}—Raising | of the lake levels in North Dakota | would afford unlimited possibilities | for the propagation of fish life and | the increasing of wild game, Captain ly C. F. Culler of La Crosse, Wis., dis- trict supervisor of the bureau of fisheries, said in Minot Friday. Capt. Culler who came to North Da- |” kota at the invitation of Burnie he Annocinted Press) ICAN LEAGUE Won Maurek, state game and fish com- | st. missioner, was here Friday with Maurek on a tour of the state, in which Capt. Culler has already been | deeply impressed with the possibilities that exist for fish propagation. Travel to South From Minot, Capt. Culler and Mr. Maurek are going into the southern part of the state, and expect to com- plete their tour at Jamestown where they started. The Devils Lake and Turtle moun- tain regions particularly impressed Capt. Culler as ideal localities for the propagation of fish and for the build- ing up of wild game life. “If Devils Lake was to be restored, by diversion of the Missouri river, one of the greatest duck breeding grounds for its size in North America would be possible,” Capt. Culler said. “The lakes in the Turtle mountains, if their levels were to be raised, as is also true of a number of other lakes in the state, would be ideal for the fish.” | In 1934, under the White bill as} passed by congress, an appropriation | of $35,000 for the construction of a fish hatchery in North Dakota will become available, and during his trip through the state with Maurek, Capt. Culler is looking for a suitable loca- tion for this project. Almost every North Dakota lake visited by Capt. Culler has been found | by him to have abundant food for | fish life, the only draw-back being | that at their present low levels the | :} water freezes to the bottom in winter, | particularly along the shorelines, | causing the plant life which is food | for the fish to begin decay. Gases | are thrown off, destroying the oxy- | gen, and fish perish. | Recommend Carp Removal At Spiritwood lake, near James- town, Capt. Culler has recommended to Maurek that the carp be removed from the water and that it be re- stocked with bass, crappies and sun- fish. The hatchery now existing | there is not regarded as satisfactory by Capt. Culler. At Red Willow lake, near Binford, Capt. Culler found conditions ideal for intensive stocking of bass. At Warwick, the possibility of es- tablishing bass spawns was studied. There is an abundant supply of water from springs on land owned by the state, and although the water as’ a comes from the springs is too cold, by building warming pools, successful spawning ponds could be operated, Intensive stocking of bass, crappie: and sunfish in Wood lake, near Tokio, was also recommended by Capt. | F E TS LAST 1GHT | (By The Associated Press) New York — Bat Battalino, world featherweight —champi outpointed Fidel La Barbi Angeles (15); Harry Carlton, sey City, outpointed Gy ar Rapids, In—Kid 1 Billy | | | Philadelphia Cineinnati .

Simmons’ near rival was Bob Foth- ergill of the Chicago White Sox, who had a mark of .403. Other leading vegulars were: Ruth, New York, .388; Fonseca, Cleveland-Chicago, 340; West, Washington, .365; Averill, ) Cleveland, .363; Cronin, Washington, .360; Stone, Detroit, .358; Cochrane, ‘hiladelphia, .356; Ferrell, St. Louis 353, Simmons’ efforts for the period] boosted him into the leadership in to- tal bases, of which he had 84, and he was tied with one or more rivals for four other leaderships. He had batted 32 runs, as had Earl Averill of | Cieveland, and Lou Gehrig of the) Yankees. Simmons also was tied with Gehrig for home run honors, at He shared the leadership in triples with Joe Cronin of Washington, at five each. Cronin topped the field with 49 hits, while Earl Webb of Boston had 14 doubles, to lead in that depart- ment. Base stealing honors were di-; vided among Ben Chapman of the | Yankees, Roy Johnson of Detroit, and Bill Cissell of Chicago. each of whom had seven to his credit. | Cleveland remained in the team/ | katting leadership, gaining one point for an average of .308. Washington remain second at .307, although the senators dropped four points. Phil- adelphia continued to field at a .986 gait and held the top position, with New York second at 975.

The Wolverines, defending the title they won a year ago with 51 points, and Ohio State, Friday qualified 15 men each in the trials at Northwest- ern university, and so well was their strength distributed that the fact that Iowa qualfied 16 men, only figured to make the Hawkeyes more of a con- tender than expected. Both the Buckeyes and Wolverines placed at least one man in every track event and each had men in the longer races Saturday, in which trials were un- necessary. Jack Keller, brilliant Buckeye sophomore, qualified in both hurdles and the 100-yard dash, while Eddie Tolan, the fleet Michigan negro! sprinter, headed Michigan’s forces by | winning his heats in the 100 and 200- yard dashes. Illinois was close up with 13 quali- fiers, while Wisconsin, chiefly by placing three men each in the shot and discus throws, had 10; Indiana eight, Minnesota six; Northwestern had three, while Chicago and Purdue wound up the parade with two each. In spite of raw, cold weather, the sprinters and hurdlers produced finé performances. The best time in the century was made by Jess Fazekas of Ohio State, who did :09.7, with Tolan and Johnny Hass of Minnesota, the other heat winners, coming in one-tenth of a second slower. Wayne Munn, Minnesota snotput- ter, led the qualifiers, including Sam- my Behr of Wisconsin, the defending champion, with a heave of 47 feet, 11% inches. Virtually all of Iowa's strength was in the field, especially in the hammer, in which Youngerman, Cornog. Stad- ler and Mathies qualified. A sensational race was expected to develop in the half mile between Dale Letts of Chicago, and Rupert Bee- tham, Jr., of Ohio State. Both quali- {field handily, and on basis of season performances, either appeared capa- ble of crowding the Big Ten record. Illini to Battle . for Big Ten Title Meet Badgers in Double-Head- er at Madison; Game May Decide Baseball Crown Chicago, May 23.—()—Illinois Sat- urday has a chance to cinch the 1931 baseball championship of the Western Conference. Victorious in seven of eight starts, the Illini meet Wisconsin in a double- header at Madison. If triumphant in both games, the race will be ended Defeat, however, will leave the race wide open with Northwestern and Chicago hav- ing a chance. Chicago plays Indiana in a double- +|header at Bloomington, with North- western meeting Ohio State at Co- lumbus. Legion to Foster Swimming Lessons St. Paul, May 23.—()—Learn-to- swim campaigns, included on the) sielder; Stoller, first base American Legion outdoor events pro- gram, will be conducted again this summer with indications pointing to an enrollment double of last -year. Last year 6,940 pupils took the course. Posts most active in the Minnesota ‘swimming campaigns last summer were at Ortonville, Appleton, Sauk Center, Marble and Starbuck, with Ortonville leading the program, graduating 2,000 swimming students. ‘This summer's swimming course will be under the supervision of Mer- vin Clark of .Fairmont, state. legion instructor, with headquarters at’ St.) Paul. ‘Besides learning ‘to “swim, students are taught to ‘render first aid. _—_——__, f "Wrestling Results | — —————-e (By The Anuociated Press) Ont—Gino Garibal 41333 Jt Oklahoma, threw ‘Texan, 18:59.

The current leader in the American Association batting championship race is none other than the one and only Charles Arthur “The Great” Shires. Comeback bent in the uniform of the Milwaukee Brewers, the self con- fessed “great man” clubbed his way to the top of the batting race last week with a loud speaking average of 443 in 106 trips to the plate, un- official averages including games of Wednesday disclosed Saturday. Dur- ing the week, he crashed out 15 hits in 25 attempts to hoist his average 48 big points. Increases Average Shires, who insists the Chicago White Sox and the Washington Sen- ators soon will rue the day they re- jected his services, has been giving baseballs frequent rides with his big bat ever since the 1931 American As- sociation pennant race started. Not once has his-a' dropped below -361 and most of the time it has been around qr above the .400 mark. American Association batsmen, generally, joined Shires in raising their averages during the fifth week of cannonading so that after Wed- nesday’s games, 51 had .300 or better averages. Other leaders who have batted 70 or more times, were Saltz- gaver, St. Paul, .411; Manion, Mil- waukee, 402; Ganzel, Louisville, 384; Herman, Louisville, 381; Norris, Min- neapolis, .375; Anderson, St. Paul, .365; Koenecke, Indianapolis, .360; McMillan, Kansas City, 360; and Hargrave, Minneapolis, .360. Shires also topped the circuit in most hits with a fancy collection of 47. Other leaders were: runs, Her- man, Louisville, 28; hits for most total bases, Saltzgaver, 67; two base hits, Lebourveau, Toledo, 12; triples, Koenecke, 5; home runs, King and Crawford, Columbus, 8 each; stolen bases, Metzler, Milwaukee, and Le- bourveau, 7 each; runs batted in, Pick, Kansas City, 35. Indians Displace Saints Indianapolis, with an average of .312, displaced St. Paul in team bat- ting while Columbus took a second Place tie with the Saints at 303. St. Paul, however, still led in fielding with a 969 mark. Bud Parmalee of Columbus cap- tured two more games during the fifth week to take the lead in the Pitching race. The Big Red Bird has won four games without a defeat. Sarge Connally of Toledo pressed close, however, with a record of six! victories out of seven starts. Con- {nally had the best inning record of jthe league, allowing but 47 hits in 62 innings. Giants to Clash With Linton Nine Prison Baseball Team Expects Hard Tussle on Penitentiary Diamond Sunday The Grove Giants, prison baseball club, will have Linton as their oppon- ents on the penitentiary diamond Sunday afternoon. Recalling their game last year, when the Giants were forced to 10 innings before they won, the prison uine expects a stiff tussle. Harry Lynn, Linton manager, claims to have a better team this year than last. He probably will use Lefty Baumgartner on the mound to oppose Christy, veteran spitball artist of the Grove Giants. The Giants hope to keep their rec- ord one of victories when they clash with the Dickinson Cowboys. Memor- fal Day. Tentative lineups for the two teams Sunday follows: Grove Giants—Johnson, tase; Woods, center field; Garver, left field; Evenson, shortstop; Wells, right Beaudry, catcher; Lodahl, third base; Christy, pitcher; Glenn, relief hurler. Linton—Lipp, second base; Krusch, shortstop; Fogle, third base; Fettig, catcher; Haugse, first base; Vessa, left field; Klein, center fielder; Volk, right fielder; Baumgartner, pitcher; and Simmons, utility.

UIAMY THOMPSON BREAKS” HIS WRISts * AT ABOUT “THIS POSITION IN THE BACKSWING-. Krew © NEA Where should the wrists be broken in the backswing? \ x eK Have you ever seen some golfers break their wrists ut the start of their backswings? It is done frequently— but not with the best results. Breaking the wrists too quickly will hinder the pivot to a large ex- tent. The wrists should not be cocked until the upper part of the backswing is reached. It is an atd to the straight left arm and the nat- ural body turn to wait until this point in the backswing is reached. To prevent cocking the wrists too quickly, take the club back low and close to the ground and controlled by the left hand. Arlett Forces Roettger for Hitting Honors Chuck Klein Leads in Scoring With 32 Runs; Chicago Tops in Club Batting | New York, May 23.—(?)—Russell “Buzz” Arlett, who spent a good many years as @ minor league slug- ger before coming up to the majors this year with the Phillies, has climb- ed up during the past week to snatch a few of the National League batting honors from the established stars of the circuit. The semi-official averages for this week, which include Wednesday's games, show Arlett second only to Wally Roettger of Cincinnati in the batting averages among the regulars and on top of the heap-in batting in} runs and hitting homers. Buzz; clouted a pair of four baggers Wed- nesday to bring his total to nine and place him one ahead of his team- mate, Chuck Klein, and has batted in 29 runs, four more than Klein and Rogers Hornsby of Chicago. He also! has made 38 hits, tying with Roettger for second place, one behind Babe’ Herman of Brooklyn. Klein still holds the scoring lead, | having tallied 32 runs. Herman and Virgil Davis of Philadelphia share the lead in two base hits with 12 apiece while Bob Worthington of Boston is ahead with five triples. Roettger kept his batting mark up to .380 to lead the regulars of the league while a .355 gave Arlett sec- ond place. Hornsby and Ernie Or-; satti of St. Louis are tied for third place on the list at .348. Then come Herman, Brooklyn, Cuyler, Chicago, Bottomley, St. Louis, and Davis, Philadelphia, all with 333 averages, and Vergez, New York, and Worth- ington, Boston, at .330. Chicago clouted its way to the top in the club batting list last week with @ .296 average while New York fell back to .292. A 977 average gave; Boston first place in fielding. The base stealing race between Wally Berger of Boston and Adam Comoro- sky of Pittsburgh remained un- changed, each with five thefts. Ed Brandt, Boston’s ace hurler, won the undisputed pitching lead with his sixth straight victory. Bur- leigh Grimes, St. Louis veteran, holds second place with five games won and’ none lost. 5 Association Loop Saints Replace Columbus by Defeating Brewers 5-3; Mill- ers Win From Blues Chicago, May 23.—(#)—“A different leader every day” seems to be the 1931 | American Association slogan. Columbus was on top Bridoy, but didn’t play and.St. Paul defeated Mil- waukee, 5-to-3, to bounce back into first place. Before Columbus dipped into the leadership Sciaon, ae ing for nearly a week. ‘The Saints didn’t do so much hit- ting Friday, but what there was of it, juced results. Caldwell held them to six hits, Saltzgaver and Durst hit triples, while Roettger banged out double and Anderson peeled off an- other homer to win. Bud Connolly got @ circuit drive with a man on in the seventh to tie the score for the Brewers, but the Saints grabbed two in the eighth to get the decision. Johnny Prudhomme pitched the route for St. Paul, allowing nine fairly well | spaced hits. In the only other contest of Minneapolis defeated Kanasas City. 10 to 4, to make it three straight. Both teams got 10 hits, but the Mil- lers made three double plays to save Pitcher Rube Benton a lot of trouble. The Millers suffered the loss of catcher Bubbles Hargrave, and first baseman George Kelly. Hargrave wrenched ‘a knee sliding into third, while Kelly pulled a muscie in his side ‘The Toledo-Indianapolis, and Co- lumbus-Loutsville games were rained the day, Left-Handed Pitching May Bother National Loop Club; Win Double-Header (By The Associated Press) If the Brooklyn Robins do nothing else all season, they at least will have the distinction of providing one of the National League's leading puzzles. Picked as one of the leaders before the season started, the Robins have failed to come through and in answer to every question the answer has been “left handed pitching.” Brooklyn fans were about ready to ask what else is wrong when the Robins came through Friday with a convincing demonstration that an- swered “nothing at all.” The Phillies had no left handers ready to send against Brooklyn Friday but so far as collecting hits was con- cerned the Robins fared little better than they had against the southpaws. Brooklyn collected only 17 hits in the two games but made them good for eight runs, winning 3 to 2 and 5 to 3. In the second, Babe Herman clouted a homer with two aboard in the third inning and Johnny Fred- erick clouted another with empty ases to put the game on ice. . Fine pitching by Dazzy Vance and Joe Shaute, who beat the Phils for the fourth time this year, did the rest. The dazzler was forced out in the first game when Pinky Whitney's drive hit him in the face. ‘The double victory enabled Brook- tyn to exchange places with the Phils, jumping from seventh place to fifth while the idle Pittsburgh Pirates re- mained in sixth. This twin bill was the only action in the National League as the clubs moved back home after the first in- tersectional series. Two games were scheduled in the American League but rain halted both. Washburn Will Meet Soldiers Fort Lincoln Crew to Have Leitz on Mound; Gorder to Hurl for Rivals Washburn’s baseball team will clash with the Fort Lincoln nine at the post diamond Sunday at 2:30 p. m. Washburn has one of the strongest teams in midwestern North Dakota, according to H. E. Wahl, manager. Wahl’s charges defeated Dickinson Sunday by a comfortable margin and Wahl predicts another win when his team meets the soldier nine. Although uncertain of his lineup, Wahl expects to use Ben Gorder on the mound for the visitors. Gorder allowed the Dickinson team but four hits in the game last Sunday. The Washburn crew plans to meet strong competition this season. They will tangle with the fast baseball team of Virden, Canada, July 13 and 14. : The Fort Lincoln club will have Leitz on the mound opposing Gorder. Leitz hurled his team mates to a 9-7 win over Wilton last Sunday. The probable Fort Lincoln lineup Sunday follows: Simonson, third base; Leitz, pitcher; Cassidy, short- stop; Wargo, left field; Hemmer, center field; Hagen, first base; Beck er, catcher; Cook, base; right field.
