The four clubs were to meet in the semi-final round Saturday afternoon with Minot and Bismarck paired in the first game, scheduled to start at 2 p. m., and Grand Forks and Han- kinson battling at 5 p. m. for a place in the finals Sunday. First round scoring: Minot 11; Jamestown 3. Bismarck 18; Rolla-St. John 3. Hankinson 9; New England 4. Grand Forks 8; Hannaford 6. Grand Forks took an impressive early lead with two runs in the sec- ond inning and another pair in the fourth. Counting first in the sixth frame, Hannaford forged into the Jead in the seventh with a brilliant four-run rally, but the Forkers cou- pled errors with hits to tally three times and go one run ahead in their turn at bat. In the next inning they added another run to bring their total to eight. Hannaford lost the game mainly through poor base-running. Two double plays were executed by the winning nine largely through Hanna- ford’s misjudged attempts to steal bases. Each team collected eight hits and Grand Forks players were chalked up with 11 errors to Hanna- ford’s two. Hankinson Strong Hankinson played consistently good ball to hold its lead throughout the game with New England and with the aid of nine New England errors . Scored nine runs on five hits. 8. Peterson and W. Beling turned im splendid pitching performances striking out 16 and 14 batters, respec- tively, with neither one allowing a base on balls. Ronald Erickson allowed the Rolla- St. John club only seven scattered hits as Bismarck blasted out an 18 to 3 victory. Bismarck scored in every inning except the third and tallied seven times in the fifth, mainly through errors. Driving out 11 hits that counted an fqual number of runs, the Minot youngsters defeated Jamestown’s en- try easily, 11 to 3.

This husky young righthander, only 22 years old now, came directly \to the Giants from St. Lawrence uni- versity in 1931 and except for a short time spent with Bridgeport in the Eastern League that year has been developed into one of the circuit's leading pitchers while wearing the New York uniform. Standing second only to Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals in the records, Schu- macher pitched his 15th victory of the season as compared to five de- feats when he set the Phillies down with seven hits Friday to win 6-3. In the course of the afternoon he regis- tered six whiffs, gave only one walk, and saw two of the runs the Phils put over score on Johnny Moore's homer in the eighth. The second-place Cubs were idle and the third place Cardinals took a 4-0 whitewashing from the reviving Pirates. As a result, the Giant's lead was increased to three games over the Cubs and five over the Cards. All the other National League clubs were idle.

Y., July 28, —(#)—Denny Shute, the poker-faced Philadelphian who usually lets his game speak for him, borrowed the rostrum Saturday. “My tee shots are getting out into the fairway where I want them to G0,” Shute said as he prepared to tackle Craig Wood in one of the two semi-finals for the professional golf- ers’ championship. But the fact that Shute has been playing such magnificent iron shots and holding putt after putt on the greens is the reason why the gallery has established him as the favorite for the title which Gene Sarazen dropped Friday. Shute in 34 holes against Ky Laf- fon on Thursday used his putter 48 times. ‘They both scored convincing vic-: tories in the quarter-finals, Wood dumping Al Watrous of Detroit, 2 and 1, and Shute overhauling Al Hough- ton of Washington, D.

Alexander has been the show win- dow of the eastern division this year and comes to the Capital City in one of the first games of the western swing. In his troupe, along with the whiskered stars, is Earl Smith, the former Pittsburgh, New York and 8t. Louis catcher. Starring in the western tour last year, Old Pete took the eastern turn during the early part of the 1934 sea- son and was replaced in the west by Babe Didrickson, the women’s Olym- Pic star. Two Teams Even Bismarck played the touring Benton Harbor club in a doubleheader here last month and broke even on the two games, winning the first and los- ing the afterpiece. Manager Neil Churchill plans on starting either “Behoven” Vincent or Frank Stewart on the mound for Bis- marck. Vincent has had a much needed rest this week and should be in fine shape, should he be called upon to take up the hurling duties Monday. . Alexander in his hey-day accounted jfor 373 major league victories with 16 shutouts for the Phillies in 1916— @ major league record. If you know your baseball you will remember that it was Old Pete that Rogers Hornsby elected to take that long and highly dramatic shuffle across the field, with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of the final world series game between the |¥ankees and Cardinals in 1926. And as you might suspect, Alex lists strik- ing out Tony Lazzeri in that setup as his greatest thrill.

The previous mark was 28,973, set Aug. 28, 1927, when Toledo played at Kansas City. The huge crowd saw the Blues take a 4-3 beating from Minneapolis.
