In a spirited offensive, after their two previous defeats at the hands of the Capital City nine, the Union Giants fought hard-to: hold the up- per hand in the third contest. In the hitting department of the game, they did succeed in outdoing their North Dakota rivals, getting an even dozen clean swats to the nine chalked up for the winners. Fast Fielding Wins It was the fast fielding of the Bis- marek nine which again had much to do with their victory. Added to their colossal defensive strength was more of the heavy-sticking by Massmann, Troupe and Haley. The combination of these assets was just a little too much for the GilRersbn's. ‘The game, however, was not decid- ed until the ninth inning. The Giants opened the scoring with two runs in the first frame. They added two more in the sixth and yp to this time in the contest, the Bismarck club ‘was trailing. Bismarck’s first run came in the eecond inning. They added two scores in the sixth to put the count at 4-3 in favor of the Giants. In the sev- enth, a Bismarck run tied it at 4-4. The last two frames were fought on this basis. Henderson, pitching his first game for the Bismarck nine, held the Giants to a scattering of bingles which his marvelous support in the field took care of without dif- mie In a ninth inning spurt, the Capi- tal City boys hammered the Giant itcher, McDonald, for safeties which gave them the winning score.

The rally was just what the Brewer fans ordered as it gave Milwaukee a 8-3 victory over Indianapolis after the game seemed lost.

Ideal track weather prevailed and early forecasts of record-smashing performances in several events were fulfilled as marks were shattered in the 100-yard and 200-yard dashes and shot-put. Shannon of Valley City heaved the shot for a new conference record of 43 feet 4 inch. The former mark of 40 feet % inch was made by Schreader of Mayville in 1932. Haines of Valley City teachers col- lege broke two conference records, running the 100 yards in 10 flat, and 220 in 22.1. Haines looms as favorite in sprint events Saturday if present weather conditions prevail, although he will be pressed by Hall of James- town. All of the favorites qualified in the Preliminaries excepting Aasen of Mayville, who had tough luck to miss his step and took a bad fall in the low hurdles. Aasen was pre-dope fa- vorite to win this event. The Vikings loom to retain the con- ference title, although they will be hard-pressed by Jamestown college and Mayville Teachers. Grove Giants Play Lark Team Sunday The Grove Giants, state peniten- tiary baseball team. with three con- secutive wins behind them, will clash with the Lark nine at the peniten- tiary ball park Sunday at 1:30 p. m. Lark claims to have the strongest team in many years and Bismarck fans are promised a close contest.' The Grove Giants last Sunday scored @ 16 to 2 win over the Huff club, McKay will perform in the mound for the Giants with Stoller on the re- ceiving end.

Powerful “blowers” dried out the track and prospects brightened for a series of brilliant individual duels, in- cluding Bill Bonthron’s 1500-meter race with Gene Venzke of Pennsyl- vania and the Tiger star's bid for his second straight “double” in the 800. Stanford and the University of California figured to run one-two again for the Pacific coast. but not without @ struggle from Yale and Harvard. Stanford's seven-man team appear- ed to have the foundation for victory laid with 19 points “in the bank,” thanks to the brawny skill of special- ists in the shotput, discus and javelin. California's small band flashed through the qualifying mud with such a show of strength that the Golden Bears looked to have an excellent chance to carry off five of the 15 in- dividual titles. Yale suffered disappointment in the hammer throw, where only one of her stars, Hillman Holcombe, qualified.

Lightweight Champion Barney Ross . . . who isafter that welter title of Jimmy McLarin’s, Ticket Sale Indicates Largest Crowd in Some Time at Madison Square Garden (By NEA Service Sports Writer) 101 008 000-5 6 0} New York, May 26—Jimmy ‘oat Larnin-Barney Ross handicap match, | set for the Garden Bowl in Queens on May 28, has almost completely eclipsed the Primo Carnera-Max Baer battle, scheduled for the same ring 17 days later. While the New York Milk Fund is to share in the receipts of the Car- nera-Baer bout also, the McLarnin- Ross rumpus was the charity organ- ization’s own idea. The Milk Fund people were smart in beating the Madison Square Garden Corporation to the punch and earlier date. Mc- Larnin and Ross are getting practic- ally all the publicity. Yet the big town is so fight hungry battery, that ticket men declare both shows will do well. The advance seat sale for the Mc- Larnin-Ross shindig was especially heavy, and those in a position to know would not be surprised if all the 70,000 seats were sold, bringing the gross gate close to $250,000. Carnera and Baer are not expected to draw as many customers, but the most conservative believe their fight will do $400,000. The prices for the McLarnin-Ross show range from $2.30 to $11.50; those of the heavyweight production from $3.45 to $25. I wonder what Tex Rickard would say were he around today to see a heavyweight championship billed right on the heels of a splendid at- traction between little men. The master promoter would have staged one in May or June.and the other in September, and probably cleaned up close to a million. For several years Pop Foster's greeting, when entering a promoter's office, has been: “Good afternoon. I want $300,000 for McLarnin.” And he almost invariably has wound up with the lion’s share of the swag. Fosters’ hobby is fishing—with one fighter, McLarnin. He has been able to fish with golden hooks and dia- mond-studded rods, After the Ross sets, ‘The fish along the Pacific Coast al- Tennis Fans Call Second Meeting A second meeting of local tennis ticularly anxious that every pene pleted and further plans made. ready are wagging their fins in Joyous anticipation. Ross hopes to build up to 138 for his joust with McLarnin, who is to come in at 145. There probably will be ten pounds between them when they square away. Ross is bucking precedent and everything else, for a lightweight champion has yet to whip a welter- weight ruler, and several mighty fine ones have made the attempt. But the Chicago youth appears un- worried. He points to McLarnin’s lay- off of a year, professes to be confi- dent that he will stand up under the Trishman’s heavy fire, and has an idea that he can outspeed him in 15 rounds. “The trouble with a number of Mc- Larnin’s opponents of the past was that they had not cleaned their souls of fear,” beams Ross. “I am not afraid of McLarnin, and if I had a crockery chin, it would have been no- ticeable in my 25 rounds with Tony Canzoneri.” The McLarnin-Ross match may be unfair, inasmuch as there are both welter and lightweights recognized as logical contenders, but it is a mighty interesting one, nevertheless. It has tongues wagging, which is the important thing. That old argu- ment in regard to the good little man being able to whip a good big man, etc., never fails to up the boys.
