THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1981 |. Southpaw Bill Walker Setting Hot Pace in National Pitching Battle ° RESTS CARDS 1) MILWAUKEE JUNIORS WIN REGIONAL TOURNEY AT PARK RIVER / PAIR OF BINGLES 10 WIN FIFTH STRAIGHT: Chicago Cubs Win Two from) Braves as Giants and Car- dinals Split Pair RUTH TAKES HOME RUN LEAD Athletics Take advantage of Three Circuit Clouts to Defeat Cleveland (By The Associated Press) If the New York Giants had an en- tire pitching staff of men as success- ful as southpaw William Walker they might now hold the place of the St. Louis Cardinals at the top of the Na- tional League standing instead of be- ing virtually tied with the Chicago Cubs, eight and one-half games be- hind the Cards and one slim point ahead of Chicago. Walker, the leading Giant pitcher, has won his last five starts. He turned in a two-hit game against St. Louis in the first half of Sunday’s| double-header to win 7 to 1. In the second half of the double- header Frank Erisch clouted a homer with one aboard in the eighth to pro- | vide the margin of victory in the, Cards’ 3-2 triumph. Meanwhile Chicago took two games from the Braves, 7-1 and 5-1. The Robins completed the National | League program by winning their first double-header since July 4. The victims were the Cincinnati Reds. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia had an off day. Except in the Boston-Chicago dou- ble bill, expert piching had little to do; with Sunday's American League pro- gram. Washington scored the day's big triumph by downing the St. Louis Browns twice. Babe Ruth's 33rd home run, which; gave him the major league lead, one up on Lou Gehrig, was the big clout of the Yankees 9 to 6 victory over the| Detroit Tigers. The Athletics took advantage of) two homers, Cochrane and one by} Cramer in defeating Cleveland 6 to 4. Chicago and Boston each displayed | one good pitching performance and _ divided their double-header. Tommy Thomas held the Red Sox to six hits to win the first clash 9 to 2 while Ed- die Durham had the better of the, second argument with Vic Frasier.

Indianapolis, however, has put on an equally sensational drive dur-| ing the last two weeks, and Monday was almost established in second Place with a lead of three and one- half games over Kansas City and) Louisville. The Indians Sunday opened a four- game series with the Saints and got! away on top with an 11 to 6 triumph} over the league leaders. The victory put Indianapolis nine games back of the Saints. Kansas City and Louisville re- mained in third place by winning two games each Sunday. Milwaukee crashed out 20 hits to defeat Columbus, 12 to 8, in the first game, but the Red Birds came back in the second contest for 17 hits and an 11 to 3 victory.

Y., Aug. 17.—(P)— Sixty-three players will try to pre- vent Mrs, Helen Wills Moody, San Francisco, from winning her seventh women’s national tennis champioship at the west side stadium this week but experts think none of then can succeed. “Queen Helen” was missing when the championship was played last year and Betty Nuthall, similing Eng- lish star, walked off with the title in a final round battle with Mrs. Anna |! McCure Harper, Oakland, Calif. Miss Nuthall and six other Britons furnish the tournament with inter- |! national flavor this year but it would! seem it's just flavor. The United! States can fall back not only upon the efficient game that Mrs. Moody plays but also upon Helen Jacobs, | Berkeley, Calif, who already has beaten Miss Nuthall twice this year. If play follows form, Mrs. Moody | will meet Phyllis Mudford of England in one semi-final and Miss Jacobs and Miss Nuthall in the other. That fur- nishes the possibility of another final: round meeting between Mrs. Moody out the loss of a game. a?! | SPORT SLANTS | 0 eae ee | By ALAN GOULD ‘CURVE’ SPECIALIST American league batsmen may ex- pect some scientific stuff from Monte M. Weaver, the pitcher Washington recently obtained from the Baltimore Internationals. Weaver did graduate work in Virginia for three years. He was an instructor at the same time and Bill Wranek, of the University’s news service, writes: “The trick note is that Weaver got @ master of science degree in 1929} for a thesis written on curves. Its exact title was ‘The companion to the litnus; the curve whose vectoral angle is proportional to the square of! the arc length. Application to the railway transitional curve.’ ‘Weaver went on with work for a/s Ph.D., but decided to devote more Grove Giants Unable Unable to Hit Heimdal Pitcher and Take 11 to O Beating Thanks to the stellar play of Frank Hummel and the effective pitching of Lefty Klein, Bismarck’s Elks- sponsored baseball team eked out a 2 to 1 victory over the Tuttle nine in| @ game in the Kidder county com- munity Sunday. At the same time the Grove Giants were being subjected to an 11 to 0 shellacking at the state penitentiary diamond here as Nesset pitched a great game for the Heimdal All-Stars. At Tuttle Hummel stole third in the eighth inning and scored Bismarck’s first run on an overthrow. His single in the ninth scored Second Baseman Becker with the winning counter. Becker got to first on a single and went to second as Catcher Wally Engelhardt walked. Then came Hummel and his big bat. Klein allowed the Tuttle crew only three hits while Carroll, on the mound for the losers, restricted the Capital City crew to six bingles.

D., Aug. 17.—(P)~ A fast junior baseball team repre- senting the American Legion posts of Milwaukee county Monday ruled su- preme in region four as a result of winning from Winona’s strong team in the championship contest of the tournament here, 4 to 3, Saturday. Boinski, a southpaw pitcher with about everything a youngster can have, outlasted three Winona hurlers in a mound duel and drove in three of his team’s four runs to take indi- vidual honors for the day. Walter Nowicki, coach of the Mil- waukee club, held his hurling ace, Jaremba, in reserve and never had to call him out for mound duty. Winona retaliated by keeping Klonowki, ace of the Minnesota champions, out of the box but the big .youngster was rushed in in the seventh to stop a g|threatened uprising after the contest {Was already lost. pi left on bases earned Three errors paved the way for Milwaukee's victory and the Badgers were quick to take advantage of the breaks.

Popes on bases, Cleveland ¢ St. Louis Boston Detroit time to professional ball as his arm | {hi improved. He did not play for Vir-|1 ginia because he had pitched profes- sionally before he entered. “Eppa Rixey is Virgina’s only other alumunus pitching in the big leagues. He went right to the Phila- delphia Nationals from college in 1912.” No soft spots have been selected for Robert Moses Grove this season in the drive of the Athletics toward their third straight pennant. ‘The celebrated southpaw has taken on all comers. He has done his best work against the club that has given the A’s the most opposition—Wash- ington. Grove has beaten the Senators five times and dropped one decision by a 2-1 score after allowing only five hits. He went in the other day to apply the brakes to the latest Washington threat before a howling Shibe Park crowd of 32,000. The rest of Grove's 22 victories were compiled as follows: Detroit, four; Chicago, St. Louis and Cleve-| land, three; New York and Boston, two each. Chicago Handed Lefty his second defeat of the season in the 12th inning of a game he entered as @ relief pitcher. 2] i| .oUR BOARDING HOUSE HERES (THY ANSWER, ANT 5A Nes. $ Borg KEELER] “11.2 A STRINGLOF FISH !YouRE IAA I MEAN THAT, CATCHING) X FELLns MEQT{MUST USE ANT ISAACK WALTON.

Winona scored in the first with four consecutive hits after the first man had gone out. Gappa singled and advanced to third on Wieczorek’s double, Klonowski singled scoring Gappa and Bambenek beat out an infield hit filling the bases, but Boin- ski struck out the two men to end the inning. Lipinski’s double after Kowalewski and Kluzik had gotten on base and executed a double steal, accounted for Winona’s other two counters in the sixth. Boinski was never in trouble after this uprising and re- tired the Minnesotans on six pitched balls in the ninth. Boinski struck out nine men and allowed eight hits while three Wino- na pitchers whiffed seven and gave up only six safeties.

GRAFTON DIAMONDBALL TEAM slip Eo WINS VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP Bismarck Beaten 3 to O by Forks Ten; Pitcher Berquam Is Tourney Star Grand Forks, N.

The Grafton club defeated the Northern, Packing Company of Grand Forks 3 to 2 in the final contest.

North Dakotan Hopes to Win Rubber Engagement with Baby Faced Veteran New York, Aug. 17.—(#)—The rub- ber meeting of two of the nation’s foremost welterweights, Jimmy Mc- Larnin and Billy Petrolle, tops all other fistic offerings on the national schedule this week. McLarnin and Petrolle, who split even in two spectacular glove-duels here in the last eight months, carry their feud into the Yankee stadium Thursday night for a 10-round bout. Petrolle, the hard-punching veteran from Fargo, N. D., nearly knocked out McLarnin in Madison Square Garden last November but Jimmy, fighting a carefully-planned battle in which he took few chances, battered out a decisive victory on points in a return match in the Garden in May. Earl Mastro, Chicago featherweight, battles Kid Francis of Italy in the main bout of the Queensboro stadi- um’s featherweight card Tuesday night. Justo Suarez, Argentine lightweight, knocked out in nine rounds by Pe- trolle in his last start, meets Emil Rossi, New York, at Dexter park, Brooklyn, tonight.
