Three circuit smashes, an equal number of double plays, pitchers pull- ing out of tough spots with three men on the paths; close decisions and costly errors were wrapped in one good sized package and handed to the fans in two hours and 56 minutes of playing. With the lead changing hands three times in the first seven innings, neither side was retired without a specially brilliant play or a tense sit- uation that kept the fans shouting wilding or praying quietly for a hit on any one of several occasions would have meant victory for one side or the other. Goetz Hits Homer Little Mike Goetz started the fire- works in the fourth inning when with two men out and nobody on, he laced a hard drive over the left field fence. | —~ Major Leagues Take Day’s Vacation In Pennant Chase for All-Star Mix Valley City took what seemec. like a safe lead in the fifth when Gaines and Luther got singles. Grangard sacrified advancing both runners and Lehner struck out. But Art Hancock drove out a long three bagger scoring two runs and his brother, Charley, hoisted the first of his two homeruns over the left field wall to make it four. Bismarck went into the sixth under that three run handicap. Troupe banged out « two baggcr. Haley was out at first but Vincent got on through an error by the Hi-Line first sacker. Goetz struck out to make it two away. With the Capital Citians in much the same spot the Valley City t:am was in the fourth, Morlan cme out of’a bad batting slump and poled out @ nice two base hit scoring Troupe and Vincent and came home himself after Simle got to first on an error. Massmann was walked and Cannizzo drove out a nice single. Simle also scored on the hit giving Bismarck a one Tun lead. Hancock Bags Second Charley Hancock outguessed “Bee- hoven” Vincent again in the eighth when he dumped another ball just over the right field fence to bring the score to five all. From then un- tit-the game was called the teams battled even with both getting in Scorjng positions several times only to be nipped without a run. Bismarck had their chance to break the deadlock in the ninth when Desid- erato was hit by a pitched ball. Troupe struck out and Haley was also hit by one of Gaines deliveries. Desiderato and Haley pulled a double steal and) Vincent walked filling the bases, but) Desiderato was forced out at home and Morlan went out on a ground ball to the’second baseman. The Hi-Line club muffed a golden opportunity in the thirteenth when with the bases loaded and only one away, Luther hit a long fly to deep right field. Bergstrom started home before the catch and Troupe relayed! the ball to Desiderato who touched| third for the last out. Two Double Plays What looked like good scoring chances were ended on two occassions} with brilliant double plays. Valley City got a double putout in the eighth and Bismarck got one in the thir- teenth. “Lefty” Gaines shaded Vincent in the mound allowing nine hits while the dusky Bismarck mound ace was being nicked for eleven. “Behoven” retired 12 Hi-Line batters on strike- outs, however, and didn’t issue a pass on balls. Gaines walked nine. Cannizzo with three hits in eight trips to the plate and Morlan with two safeties were the leading stick- ers for the local team while Charley Hancock bagged four hits, including two homeruns, a double and a single for a total of 11 bases.

Medica swam the mile in 20:57.8, nine seconds faster than the official world record set in 1925 by Arne Borg of Sweden.
