Scarle THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1981 JNAY TODD BEATS (CHICAGO MAKES BID FOR WALKER -SCHMELING TITLE FIGHT MINOT MEXICAN IN |Navy to Seek Promising Grid Material NIP AND TUCK FIGHT Tuffy Mosset Disqualified in Battle With Frank Han- ish of Fargo FORSYTHE KNOCKED OUT Kid Kramer of Saskatoon De- feats Ed Foster of Minot in Preliminary Otis Jackson, Dawson, absorbed everything the Scarlet Flash of Minot had to offer to lose five rounds and the decision on the headliner of the Elks fight card at the World War Memorial building Tuesday night. The Flash had things is own way all during the fight but was unable to put over the sleep producer. In the final seconds of the fourth stanza, the Minot man connected with a series of stiff jolting punches with telling effect and had Jackson out on his feet when the bell rang. The rest period helped the Dawson fighter, however, and he came out in te next stanza looking for more. The Flash caught most of Jack- son’s punches on his arms and shoul- ders. He used an effective left jab to keep his opponent's head bobbing, electing to keep his heavy guns in reserve during most of the contest. Jackson lived up to his reputation as a rugged game fighter. Belted all over the ring for five rounds, he de- fied the Flash’s efforts to put him away and still was banging away at the final bell. ( The headliners fought on even terms during the first canto but the Minoter caught Jackson with a ser- ies of wicked jolts in the closing sec- onds of the second round which left the Dawson boy blinking. From that point on there was no doubt as to the issue. In the semi-windup, Jimmy Todd, Medina, won from Kid-Vandie, Minot, Mexican, in @ bout that was nip and tuck all the way. Vandie came back to take the final stanza but was un- able to overcome Jimmy's early lead. The fighting was fast and hard and earned the applause of the crowd. The Tuffy Mosset-Frank Hanish affair ended up in a fiasco. Mosset was disqualified in the third for hit- ting the Fargo boy while both were on the floor in the third. Mosset left the ring with the crowd booing him lustily. Kid Kramer, Saskatoon, Sask., out- pointed Ed Foster of Minot in four bruising rounds to take the decision by a wide margin. Foster took a neat pasting but put up a determined fight and was in there swinging all the way. Kid Engles, Medina, scdreda_knock- out over Kid Forsythe, Bismarck, in the second round of a scheduled four’ round preliminary. ‘The Bismarck) boy received a rousing oveion from the fans for his exhibition for game- ness after being hurt. Laid low time after time, the Kid didn’t know when he was licked, bobbing back up without taking advantage of the count. Kid Brooker and Sonny Schlosser, colorful Mandan youngsters, fought the best. fight of their careers in the curtain raiser. They flailed away at one another through four lusty rounds to make a merry battle of it. ‘The fans gave the youngsters rous- ing applause.

LEHR DEFEATS KULM Lehr, N. D., Dec. 16.—The Lehr Leopards won over the Kulm high school boys Monday, 42 to 14. GROVE HAS PINNACLE POSITION |= IN AMERICAN LEAGUE ROSTER ‘What makes a champion baseball club is revealed by a study of this year’s pitching records. The Philadelphia staff allowed but 3.47 earned runs per game. 3.47 runs per game is a good record for a single pitcher. When an entire staff can set that mark the second place position of the mighty Yankees is explained. The Washington staff was a good second to the A’s with 3.76, while New York was third with 4.20 earned runs per game. Chicago was eighth with 5.05 runs per game, thus achieving the unique distinction of being eighth in pitching, batting and fielding. Chief of the Athletics staft was Robert M. Grove, the best left-hand pitcher the American league has known. Grove won 31 games while losing four. His winning percentage, .886, is the highest for any major league pitcher since 1900. His average of earned runs per game, 2.05, was 58 run per game better than that of Vernon Gomez, who finished second with 2.63. Grove also led in strikeouts with 175 and was second in number of innings Pitched, 289, His colleague, George Walberg, worked 291 rounds. In the seven seasons Grove has pitched for Philadelphia he has won 146 games and lost 61, an average of .705. In this period he has pitched 133 complete games and during the last four seasons has won 103 games and lost but 23, ‘Vernon Gomez, young left-hander from California, serving his first year with the Yankees, ranked second to Grove in effectiveness with 2.63 earned runs per game, Gomez was in 40 games, won 21 and lost nine and pitched 243 innings. Edwin Rommel, Mack’s veteran right-hander, was third with 2.98, but pitched only 118 rounds. Irving Hadley, Washington right-hander, ranked fourth, pitching 180 innings and allowing 3.05 earned runs per game, while his teammate, Lloyd Brown, working 259 innings in 42 games, and yielding 3.20 earned runs per game, is fifth. Three of the first five places of honor thus go to left-handers. Robert Burke of Washington, another southpaw, used mostly as a relief hurler, was allowed to start 13 games and managed to finish three of them. In one of these, however, the game of Aug. 8 against Boston, Burke shut out the Red Sox without a hit. Wesley Ferrell, the Indians’ great right-hander, also was credited with a no-hit shutout against St. Louis, CLUB PITCHING RECORDS ER ER Av, Agst.
