Bismarck Seeks to THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1934 Even Series With Beulah Miners Tonight TWO WESTERN CIS HUBBELL’S DAZZLING STRIKEOUTS STEAL ALL-STAR SHOW HALT LOCALS MARCH TOWARD STATE TITLE Miners and Cowboys Have Edge in Games Played With Capital Citians BARNEY MORRIS TO PITCH Salamanca, Veteran All-Nation Outfielder, Added to Local Lineup ‘Two strong western ball clubs Wed- nesday stood in the way of Bismarck’s bid for the North Dakota semi-pro- fessional title. Beulah’s Miners and Dickinson's Cowboys are the only two teams in the state that have gained an edge over the Capital Citians in games played this year. Both outiits journey to Bismarck this week for games in the new ball Park and the locals will have an op- portunity to establish themselves def- initely at the top of the list as far as state baseball is concerned. Tonight Barney Morris will toss up his slants for the benefit of the Miner club from Beulah. A win in this game would give the Capital Citians an even break in the four games already played for the west- ern club has two victories to the local’s one. Morris’ assignment is no easy one for the Miners, always a rous club, have strengthened their lineup for Wednesday's battle. Kemp May Start Either Lefty Kemp or Frank Stew- art will do the twirling for the visitors. Kemp in the last encounter limited the hard-hitting Bismarck players to three safeties and his teammates blanked the locals, 5 to 0. Ross Salamanca, a veteran out- fielder who played with the All-Na- tions club last year, will arrive here for the game Wednesday and will start in the center garden for the Bismarck club. Fans who Sunday watched the re- ‘vamped infield Manager Neil Chur- chill has organized were more than a little pleased with the manner in which the players handled their new Positions. Haley was at first; Mass- mann took over second sacl Can- nizo came in from the outfield to the shortstop position and Desiderato held down the hot corner. Dickinson Here Saturday Dickinson's ball club is the other team from the west that has given the locals considerable trouble. They have won two victories—one game was a tie and the locals took one. A two game series will be played here Saturday and Sunday and Bis- marck must win both of them to gain an edge in games this year.

The course has been put in tip-top shape. Players will tour the LaMoure feourse in qualifying rounds and a {week later the Oweti course at James- town in match play. Entry of 121 golfers in the 1933 tourney made it impossible to qualify ‘and carry off the match play in one day, said L. E. Nierling, president of the Southeastern State Golf associ- ation. Qualifying rounds will be 18 holes, Players qualifying in three-somes. Match play will be of 9 holes, except the final in the championship flight Which will be 18 holes.

Kress Is Handy Man Coming to Aid Of Unlucky, Downtrodden Senators Playing Too Many Positions Has Kept ‘Red-Head’ From Be- coming a Star New York, July 11—The Washing- ton Senators are an unlucky bunch of blokes—and yet they are plenty fortunate. This paradox arises from the fact that, while they have been halted in their march toward the American League pennant by acci- dents ranging from twisted tendons to twitching tonsils, they have a gent named Ralph Kress handy. In the interval since he broke in with the Browns in 1928, and wowed the league with a brand of hitting that had him at the top of the swat column for some time, the red-head- ed son of California has dropped out of the public eye. The shuffles that shifted him from the Browns to the White Sox, and from there to the Senators, resulted in his seeing little action the last couple of years, and his name has become unfamiliar to the bugs. “Up and Coming” But the 27-year-old Kress has tak- en a new grip on his boot-straps, and is hoisting himself right along on the same path he trod when he became a big league sensation in 1928, and now is known as the handiest man in the league. The other day he hit two homers for the Senators after filling at first base for the injured Joe Guhel. Some time before, in a series at Cleveland, Buddy Myer was spiked, and the sor- rel-topped athlete was put in at sec- ond base to do a stand. The only reason he didn’t replace Luke Sewell behind the bat when he was beaned was that Cronin needed him at first. Shifting Isn't News All this shifting around isn’t new to Kress. In 1930 he played short and third base for the Browns, and the following two years alternated between third, short, and the outfield. In 1932 he was traded to the White Sox, and in the Windy City took up lessons in first basing and became a@ journeyman at that trade, filling in for Lou Fonseca. In his spare mo- ments he played the outfield. Five years of being a Jack-of-all- trades with second division clubs didn’t encourage Kress. His meteoric rise in his first year in big time was rudely interrupted by the various posi- YOUNG STARS PACE VETERANS IN WESTERN AMATEUR CHASE tions he was forced to play. He would just get accustomed to Playing short, when he'd be called on for first base duty, and probably be shifted to third or the outfield before he caught his second wind. Changes Mar Ability Such diversification of effect isn't conducive to good play, especially when the player sees action only every now and then. While Kress hasn't seen regular ac- tion in the capital, it remains that he is an improved ball player. Perhaps he likes to labor under the direction of the battleship-pawed Cronin, or Perhaps it's just the fact that living in the same town with a lot of windy senators has convinced him that he isn’t such a bad ball player after all. Whatever it is, Kress is earning his salt, regardless of what Clark Griffith is paying him. And if that jinx continues to hound the Senators the rest of the year, the freckle-faced one might be filling in for his big boss before long. Legion Juniors Beat Mandan Club, 6 to 3 Behind the two-hit pitching of Erickson, the Bismarck Junior Amer- ican Legion club won a fast ball game from the Mandan nine, Tuesday. Erickson fanned 13 batters that faced him and his teammates pounded out. seven hits for the 6 to 3 victory. The box score: Bismarck— Fischer, 2b Hagen, ss McGuiness, Burchardt, cf Larson, If .

The two were Zell Eaton, local boy, and Bob Conliff, Jr., 27-year-old Ok- lahoma City lad. ‘They headed a field of 33 players who had 79’s or better and were a stroke in front of two of the most formidable of the visitors, Rodney Bliss of Oklahoma, a Walker Cup star, and Leland Hamman of Waco, Tex., newly crowned trans-Mississippi titlist. Such golfers as Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr., of Chicago, who held the title eight times, and Johnny Lehman of Chicago, 1930 champion, were forced to bow to the course with 81 and 80, respectively, and were given only outside chances to come through the second round Wednesday.

Hubbell’s dazzling performance in blanking the Americans for the first three frames and striking out five of the game's greatest batsmen in suc- cession—Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons} and Cronin—absolutely stole the sec- ond annual all-star show Thesday. This highly dramatic achievement in the full glare of the spotlight not only set Hubbell apart for the day as| the star of stars but thoroughly over- shadowed the subsequent proceedings, during which the Americans wiped out a four-run deficit by shellacking| Lon Warneke and Van Mungo, took the lead with a six-run outburst in the fifth and then coasted to a 9-7 victory over the Nationals behind the| effective pitching of young Melvin Harder of Omaha, Nebr., and the Cleveland Indians. Harder held the Nationals to one hit in the last five innings. Second American Triumph It was the second successive tri- umph for the Americans in this bril- lant mid-season pageantry, with Al Simmons and Earl Averill taking the clouting honors that went to Ruth a year ago in the first all-star game at Chicago. Hubbell capped the climax Wednes- day with his gaudiest display of skill. Charley Gehringer, lead-off man, slashed a single past Frankie Frisch and raced to second on Wally Ber- Ger's misplay. Heinie Manush walk- ed but Hubbell then proceeded to strike out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx in succession. fanned at the outset of the seco! inning. Vernon Gomez was Hubbell’s| sixth victim in two innings. Hubbell collected no more strike- outs in the third. He walked Ruth but retired the side quickly and left the Nationals riding the crest of a four-run lead, gained at the expense of Gomez and thanks to a brace of home runs by Cardinal stars, Frisch and Medwick. The Americans climbed all over the right handed pitching of Chica- go's Warneke and Brooklyn's Mungo. Big Al Simmons, who enjoyed a field day with three hits and as many runs, opened the assault on Warneke with a double in the fourth. He scored on Cronin’s single and raced home when Earl Averill tripled. Score Tied in Fifth Hits by Foxx and Simmons tied the score in the fifth. With the bases full, Averill banged a double to right, scoring two more runs. With the bases full again Charley Ruffing belt- ed a single to left, tallying two more runners. Dizzy Dean pitched the next three innings, yielding the Americans’ ninth tun in the sixth. The Nationals in their own half of the fifth drove Ruffing from the box. A pass to Pepper Martin, fol- lowed by successive hits by Frisch, Traynor and Chuck Klein, accounted for two runs, with none out and Harder stepped into this ticklish spot and promptly squelched a fresh bri- gade of National League sluggers. A double steal, engineered by Tray- nor and Mel Ott, as Paul Waner fan- ned, accounted for the Nationals’ seventh run. The five National League pitchers|Goets, Iss fanned 12 Americans but also issued nine bases on balls. The Americans had a big margin in hitting, 14 to 8, Ralph Kress, in action and closeup in inset, has been the player the Senators have fallen back on dur- ing the recent epidemic of injuries. He played second in place of Buddy Myer, when that infielder was spiked, and now is filling in for Kuhel at first until Joe’s broken ankle heals. Sweet Shop, G. P. Eat Shop, Highway And O. H.

There are thousands of swimmers in the United States who can nego- tiate a given length of water with @ crawl stroke that is nearly perfect. Yet there are few champions, or even swimmers in championship class, who can compete in near- record time. Wherein lies the difficulty inernu that besets the path of those thousands who would emulate Johnny ‘Weiss- muiler, Jack i q Medica, and Hel- ene Madison? Rar aMweyes ‘What is the secret of these cham- pions? The. answer is simple. The day of champions who base their claims. to fame solely on the perfected me- chanics of free style swimming is, over. True enough, perfected strok- ing is essential. But the answer lies. in long hard days in the water, spent _ in striving for physical condition and power. To date, Jack Medica is the only. American who has duplicated thé’ Performances of the Japanese ath. letes who showed the world in the” 1932 Olympic Games that condition end power, combined with a perfected’ crawl stroke, will win championships. Japanese swim with a free style. stroke that is the American crawl in every respect. They lack the big bodies and large hands which once were considered so essential. But they win because they are in better Physicial condition and have learned just how to exert more power with the stroke than Americans. f ‘When Medica starts a 500 or 600° yard race with a sprint, eases off into ‘a long, gliding crawl, and then finishes with a blinding burst of speed that breaks his opponents backs, it’s no eecident. Medica learned the secret of sustained power and reserve strength” efter long sessions of training. Later I will discuss more in detail my methods for creating the strength necessary for competitive swimming.
