They will be with the Gilker- son Union Giants May 28 and 29. At New Rockford Sunday, the Bis- marck club will face Roosevelt Davis, colored pitching ace whose early season performance indi- cates that his veteran arm is de- livering the balls across the plate with the same lightning speed of years gone past. Davis has come out on the short end of the count against both Jamestown and Valley City this season but the scores were 1-0 and 3-1 respectively and have not lessened his prestige on the mound. The local club will travel to Cando for a game Wednesday, to meet the fast Towner county nine, before in- vading. Canida for series of four games with Winnipeg opening on Queen's Day, a Dominion holiday, May 24. Other games with Winnipeg will include two engagements May 25, morning and afternoon, and a final meeting May 26. On the return trip, the Capital City league will stop off at Devils Lake for a game there May 27th. Games in the series away from home will windup with a Decoration Day contest at Jamestown May 30, when the bitter feud between these two teams will be resumed with all the gusto with which it ended at their last meeting in 1933. c. In a previous article I mentioned the fact that the club should be grip- ped firmly. The function of the hands is to guide the club, but if the term firmness is misunderstood, and the club is held in a vise-like grip, all muscles used in makng the shot are tensed. The result s failure. If the right hand grips the club too tightly, the touch is lost. Consequent- ly, hold the club more firmly with the left hand. As it starts downward, a tighter grip can be taken with both hands. As the ball is hit, the grip should be as firm as possible without, stiffening the wrists. m YOU'RE TELLING ME Jack Johnson is now a fight promoter in New Jersey . . . and hopes to be as big a success in the promotional field as he was in the ring. .

Players Hope to Shake British Amateur Jinx by Force of Numbers EARLY BIRD < | Prestwick, Scotland, May 18.—(?)— By force of numbers as well as by in- vading players in the British amateur golf championship here next week. Although only two native Ameri- czns, Jess Sweetser and Bobby Jones, ever have won the title, the current United States challenge, consisting as it does of all nine members of the victorious Walker cup team, as well as Jesse Guilford, one-time Boston “siege gun,” is by no means taken lightly by British critics. Bookmakers, in fact, have installed Johnny Goodman, American open champion, as co-favorite with the Scot, Jack McLean, for the title won so unexpectedly a year ago by 56-year | old Michael Scott.

But despite the colonel’s gloomy outlook, the Giants Thursday turned in another victory, taking the meas- ure of Cincinnati, 5 to 4, with Big Fred Fitzsimmons doing the pitching and also contributing a homer to his own victory. “We are still alive and kicking,” smiled the champion’s manager, “but there's no use kidding ourselves that we can win as many low score games with this jack rabbit ball as we did last year or that our pitching defense is going to be as good as we need, until Parmeele returns. For that rea- son I have shifted the lineup to get more batting punch, O’Doul will stick as long as he keeps hitting and I'm hoping Johnny Vergez will snap out of his slump in time to deliver his former driving power. “The livelier ball has helped us ag much as it has any of the other clubs, There's Joe Moore, for instance. He has hit four home runs 60 far, ale most as many as he got all last year. Mell Ott is geting more distance, too, And we would have had a tougher time in the west without Travis Jack- son’s bat.” For all that Terry talks about the value of a solid base-hit as good strategy, however, he clings to the conviction that pitching will decide whether the Giants keep the cham- pionship or yield to the challenge of one of the three western clubs that cuffed the New York Yankees around and knocked them off their high horse.
