To SORA A NPR ALTER ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1931 MINNESOT'SENTRY DRUBS FLICKERTAILS INDIE FASHION But South Dakotans Man- age to Tie Score TO PLAY AGAIN SATURDAY Winner of Second Contest Will Meet Gopher Team for Tourney Championship Park River, N. D., Aug. 15.—(%)— Winona, Minnesota's entry, which drubbed Cooperstown of North Da- kota 25 to 0 in the opening contest of the regional junior baseball tourna- ment here, was the only finalist de- cided as the four state champions played their opening engagements Friday. Milwaukee's fast aggregation outhit ‘Watertown, scoring 16 hits to 7 in the second encounter but the South Da- kotans took advantage of the wildness of two Wisconsin hurlers to eke out an 8 to 8 tie. Umpire Dougherty called the game with two out in the tenth inning because of darkness. The contest will be replayed this morning at 9 a. m, and the cham- pionship encounter is to be staged at 2:30 p. m., as originally scheduled. Winona packed too many guns for the North Dakota champion, and aft- er failing to score in the first three innings, bunched four clean safeties in the fourth to send two runners across the plate. The Cooperstown defense wavered in the sixth and Wi- nona bunched four hits with a costly error and two bases on balls to score ' PEE five more runs and tuck the game) away. Mark Klownoski, Winona pitcher, held the North Dakotans to three scratch singles and was never in seri- ‘ous trouble. Cooperstown’s only scoring threat was in the second when Op- heim singled and Stromme walked with one out, but Klonowski whiffed Olson and threw Hoff out at first to end the uprising. A big seventh inning, in which they bunched four of their seven hits with a costly error and two bases on balls to score five runs, and a three run at- tack in the eighth enabled Watertown to tie things up with Milwaukee in a contest that saw the lead change hands several times.

Six sisters, named the Staffs, will enter the Southern A. A. U. women’s 8 /standing and Al Simmons Slugs His Way to Top Superiority of Championship Athletics Is Reflected in Club Averages Chicago, Aug. 15—(7)—Al Sim- mons crowded himself into the in- dividual batting leadership of the American League during the past week, giving Connie Mack’s Athletics, control of everything except the team batting leadership, according to semi-official averages which include: Thursday's games. Big Al hammered the baseball at an even 500 clip to bring his mark to -388, eight points higher than that of Babe Ruth, who lost four points d{during the period and was second with .380. The A’s already owned the pitching honors, as well as the team fielding leadership which they have held since the beginning of the cam- 2 | paign. Simmons also led in hits with 174; total bases, of which he had 292 to take the lead from Lou Gehrig, and triples, with 13, Gehrig held three leaderships, with 31 homers, 113 runs and 121 runs batted in. Other leading regulars following Simmons and Ruth were: Webb, Bos- -363; Morgan, Cleveland, .362; ‘West, Washington, .357; Cochrane, Philadelphia, .345; Gehrig, New York, .340; Goslin, St. Louis, .340; Averill, Cleveland, 327; Haas, Philadelphia, .326; Alexander, Detroit, 326. Bob Grove continued to edge closer to a collection of 30 pitching victor- ies, gaining one decision for a record of 23 triumphs and two defeats. Wal- {berg won another and went into a tie with Earnshaw, who lost two » |games, at 17 victories and 7 defeats. Although they are eighth in the seventh on the club batting list, the Cincinnati Reds are giving the more highly rated teams jof the National League a real battle for some of the circuit's individual batting honors. The Reds and the Chicago Cubs each have three batters among the first ten “regulars” in the semi-offi- cial average list. Philadelphia still has the first and second men on the list, Virgin Davis and Chuck Klein, while New York and Brooklyn com- plete the ten with one man each. Chicago lost the club leadership i both at bat and in the field last week as New York forged to the top in batting with a .294 average and St. Louis and Cincinnati tied for the fielding lead at .974. The struggle for the batting cham- pionship of the American Associa- tion appears to be developing into a battle between Charles Arthur (The Great) Shires, and Dewitt (Bevo) Lebourveau.* Semt-official averages which in- clude Thursday's games, reveal the Milwaukee first baseman, and the Columbus outfielder were tied at 387. Other leading batsmen back of Shires and Le Bourveau were: Koenecke, Indianapolis, .367; Roett- ger, St. Paul, .361; Crawford, Colum. bus, .359; Herman, Louisville, .359 Layne, Louisville, .353; Manion, Mil- waukee, .352; Kubek, Milwaukee, .350; Davis, St. Paul, .347. Refuse to Contend For Women’s Title Rye, N. Y., Aug. 15.—(?)—The east- ern turf court tennis championships will have to get along this year with- out a women’s singles title-holder. Joan Ridley and Mrs. Elsie Gold- sack Pittman, Britons both and close friends, walked off the courts of the Westchester Country club yesterday after dividing the first two sets of their final round match for the wom- en's singles crown and declined to finish it.
