THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1981 ATHLETICS EXHIBIT POWER TO SMOTHER FOE IN FIRST GAME Philadelphians Come Up From Behind to Beat Cards, 6 to 2 SIMMONS GETS HOMER Losers Take Early Lead by Get- ting Two Runs From Lefty Grove St. Louis, Oct. 2—(7)—Amid stead- fly increasing plaudits of baseball world that knows a truly great team when it sees one, the world champion Philadelphia Athletics have picked up the thread of world series conquest where they dropped it last fall. ‘The A's seeking a record of three straight series championships, whip- ped the St. Louis Cardinals 6 to 2 ‘Thursday in the opening game of the annual fall diamond classic. One me, important at the start of a ort seven game Clash, still does not necessarily mean uultimate victory. It shows the way the champions of the baseball world, rose up to come from behind. It was the old, old story of Athletic power, admin- istered with crushing effect, steam- rollering the enemy into broken sub- jection just when hope was begin- ning to sprout again. Last fall the Athletics leaped up- ‘on these same Cardinals in the world series, blasting them apart at just exactly the psychological moments, to win their second straight world triumph for Connie Mack. They en- tered the first game of the 1931 pag- eant @ natura: favorite at 8 to 5.

Grove Faces Rookie ‘There was Lefty Grove, probably the greatest southpaw of all times, opposing a giant right handed rookie, Paul Derringer, No. 1 man of the Cardinals and the first freshman in the major leagues ever to start the opening world series game for his team. The big rookie, bent to his task. Four of the first six men to face him went down, lunging futilely at his dazzling curve ball. And in the mean- time the Cardinals, swinging from the | hip in desperation, climbed aboard | the mighty Grove. There was something wrong with| the Great Lefty's curve and control. | In the very first inning, after he had fanned Little Andy High, substituting | in the Cardinal third base corner for the injured Sparky Adams, Frankie Frisch shot a single into right | field on the hit and run play and Jim | Bottomley, the hitting bust of the 1930| Clashes, promptly brought home the} first run with an infield single. And! before the inning was over Pepper Martin, the young center fielder, like | Derringer a newcomer to this sort of thing, banged a long double off the Tight field screen and the second run was over. Some of the highest and widest cheering and uproar any series ever saw wafted Derringer out there for the third inning. His two run lead bulked large as the grandstands. The winning tide seemed finally to have turned to the underdog. Then it was that the House of Cards ame toppling down as the champions turned their power loose on the rook- ie who had given too much of his swift ones and benders blotiing out the A’s in the first two inning, Jimmy Dykes bounced a single over third, first hit off the rookie, and Dib Williams, sensational young shortstop who ousted the veteran Joe Boley from the champions’ lineup, cracked ® safe shot into right. Grove fanned for the first of three times and Max! Bishop's grounder led to Dykes being trapped: off third. Mule Haas belted a double into left and one run was ‘over. Mickey Cochrane walked. Crowd is Tense But there were two out and the big crowd sat tense as Derringer, his lead fading, worked carefully on the out~ standing slugger of them all, Al Sim- mons. The big youngster got three balls and two strikes on the major Jeague hitting champion. One more strike, even a ball hit so that a field- er could handle it, and Derringer might have come through to hear his name sung today all over the baseball world. Instead the crucial pitch was an inch or so wide. Simmons walked. And the deluge came with the run he forced in. Big Jimmy Foxx ham- | mered a vicious single through the in- field, another pair of runs counted, and the game was on ice. Later, in the seventh inning, when it meant little except for the picture | value, Simmons plucked off a high, wide ball and planted it in the left | field bleachers. Mickey Cochrane, who had singled, scored ahead of him. | Derringer left the game at the end of the seventh and Sylvester Johnson held the A’s hitless for the last two. Grove, hit harder than was ex- pected, coasted in after the big fourth | inning although the Cards reached him for 12 hits, one more than the A’s got off Derringer. They hit the Big Lefty only when hits did not Mean runs, however. Friday the Cards had “Big Jarge” Earnshaw to contend with and even in the hearts of the most rabid Na- tional League partisans there was lit- tle hope.

Mack Explains His Selection System Withholds Decisions Because he Often Changes His Mind Before Games St. Louis, Oct. 2—()—Connie Mack, | Athletics, explained Friday why he never gives out his pitching selections in advance of the world series game. The reason is because he might change his mind 15 minutes before the game and the baseball public might think he was trying to put us. “I usually make up my mind the day before the game,” Mack said, “but then I night change it. “If I gave, out my selections and then changed my mind, the public might believe I was trying to fool them, or that I had something up my sleeve. “I haven't anything up my sleeve,” Mack said, raising his long right arm ay dropping it to show nothing fell out. “If I don’t tell who is going to pitch, I don’t have to take anything back if I change my mind. Now, that’s fair, isn’t it?” Rochester Evens Up Minor Series Saint Paul Is Idle Friday After Dropping Game to Red Birds, 5 to 2 St. Paul, Oct, 2—(#}—With their little world series all even at one game apiece, Rochester and St. Paul had an open date Friday. The Rochester Red Wings, cham- pions of the International League, squared the count yesterday with a 5 to 2 victory over St. Paul, pennant winners of the American Association, Saints won the first game, 4 to 0. Rochester won behind the fine pitching of Herman Bell. A four-run \parade off John Murphy in the sixth inning sewed up the game for the vis- jitors.

Coach Anderson said he planned to give every man a try in the Hoosier game.

Meanwhile, six other conference teams confidently awaited the whistle for easier non-conference games.

Freshman to Take on St. Mary's For First Tilt of Season Filling a gap left by an open date on the Bismarck high school football schedule, the Demon reserves are slat- ed to take on the regulars at a game to be played at Hughes Field at 4 p. m, this afternoon. The McLeodmen have put in a ‘week of strenuous practice and are in excellent physical shape. Injuries have struck at the locals, however, with Benzon, Green and Norman Agre temporarily out of the picture. Benzon and Agre are suf- fering from shoulder injuries while Green has a wrenched back. The line, which has given the Bis- marck coaches considerable worry, has developed rapidly during the last week, Many of the rough edges, which were so apparent during the first days of the season, have been ironed out with the result that it is beginning to function smoothly as a unit.

D., Oct. 2.—After hav- ing had a football team in the field of competition for the last two years, of- ficials of the McClusky high school have decided to abandon the sport this fall.

SUBS TO FILL OPEN Hostilities Resumed in Gridiron War North Dakota High Schoo Elevens Take Field For Week-End Games (By The Associated Press) Rivalry among the leading contend- ers for the championship honors is becoming stronger as high school football teams throughout the state again prepare to answer the summons of King Football Friday and Saturday jfollowing early season contests which gave some indication of their compar- ative strength. Sixty-one North Dakota football elevens are scheduled to go into ac- tion on gridirons throughout the state. Three inter-state contests are being played. Several teams with clean slates are virtually certain of having a loss chalked up against them, only tie games being possible to save them, as undefeated teams meet others unde~ feated teams in a number of in- stances, Considerable interest has been at< tracted to the Grafton-Devils Lake and Jamestown-Minot contests which will find four teams with two wins and no defeats engaging in the elim- ination contests. Minot defeated a tough opponent in Mohall and in lining up against Jamestown will meet opposition that downed New Rockford and Fessenden. Grafton, with the scalps of East Grand Forks and Thief River Falls lost to Devils Lake, a team that has crushed Cando and New Rockford, 19 to 7. In the McLean county conference race Max is in the spotlight. The Max eleven, 1930 conference titlist, opened the fall schedule by defeating Garri- son 20 to 0 and engages Turtle Lake Friday in another conference game. The Bismarck outfit will be idle over the week-end having postponed @ game with Mandan which will meet Dickinson today. Mandan and Bis- marck, time-honored rivals, are put on an even rating. Mandan defeated Linton 75 to 0 and in their second game Gowned Ashley 39 to 6 while Bismarck was taking ’on a less awe- stricken Linton team than that which met Mandan. Bismarck played “un- der wraps” to defeat Linton 63 to 0. The following are some of the games scheduled for ms week-end: Beulah at Elgin. Grafton at Devils Lake. Fargo at Sioux Falls, 8. D.
