ONTROVERSAL BALL \OUNDS OVER FENCE IRINGING UP DISPUTE Three Scattered Hits in Seven Innings “IALEY GETS THREE DOUBLES Jmpire Gayou Stops Game | When Starr Insists on Calling Hit a Double Behind the stellar three-hit fling- ng of Hilton Smith, Bismarck shut sut Jamestown, 9-0, here Wednesday ‘ight in a game that ended suddenly n the seventh inning when the Red 30x players refused to continue play £ Smith’s hard drive which hounded over the right field wall was ruled » home run. Umpire Tom Cayou, after motion- ing Smith to come home, was con- fronted by Ray Starr, field manager and ace pitcher for the Jimmies, who me out of the dugout and flatly refused to let the game continue un- tess the hit was called a double - Cayou stood by his guns and the game was called with the score ‘standing 9-0 or 8-0 depending on how you interpret the rule. Starr ‘based his argument on the recent amendment to section 41 of the of- ficial baseball rules which reads “A feir hit ball that bounds into a stand ‘or over a fence shall be a two-base hit.” The other side of the controversy ‘4s contained in the preceding section of the same rule which reads, “A fair batted ball that goes over the fence or into @ stand shall entitle the bats- man to @ home run unless it should -pass out of the ground or into a stand ‘at a less distance than 250 feet.” Collect 10 Safe Hits Regardless of which position you took, there could be no doubt as to what team won the ball game. Shell- “ing Pitcher Phil Schmidt for 10 safe ‘blows, including the controversial circuit swat and five doubles, Bis- |.marck scored one run in each of the third and fifth innings, added a pair Cin the sixth and went on a batting [spree to send five more runners -across home before the game was called in the seventh. x Smith was never in danger as he scattered three hits over as many in- | nings and received near errorless [support from his mates. The Jim- mies were in position to score only twice, once in sixth after Schmidt had smashed out a two-bagger and again in the. seventh when Mike Bolen connected for a double. Each time Smith settled down and retired the side with the runners still strand- ed on second. Bob McCarney counted Bismarck’s first score in the third frame after singling sharply to left field. He scored on the first of three doubles which Red Haley laced into right field. Score Almost at Will In the fifth Dan Oberholzer was sefe on first on Third Baseman Mur- phy'’s error and he too scored when Haley doubled. The third and fourth counters were marked up in the sixth ‘when Moose Johnson rapped out’ a two-bagger, Ted Radcliffe was hit in the head by a pitched ball and Smith drove them both in with a long blow to the right fence that was good for two bases. The disputed four-bagger, a double Haley, a single by Al Leary, a walk for Quincy Troupe and an er- ror paved the way for the five runs in the seventh before the game was called. gz Haley with his three doubles in four trips up and Smith with a single, a@ double and a home run paced the Bismarck sluggers at the plate.

He an- nounced Wednesday that he was un- able to do so and bowed to Adams’ “pay up or get out by August 1,” ul- timatum. . The switch that made McKechnie temporary president is an ironical one: Five months ago, when Fuchs coaxed Babe Ruth to Boston, McKechnie, who works under a verbal agreement, was destined to be ousted by the famous homerun slugger, who made no secret of his managerial ambitions. Fuchs hoped that the Babe's pres- ence would solve his financial prob- lems, but they were ill-mated. The blow-off came several weeks ago when they exchanged hard names and Ruth retired. McKechnie’s pro tem promotion, however, probably will be of short dur- manager. Next year, if Adams fails to find a purchaser, Bob Quinn, who sold the Red Sox to Tom Yawkey, probably will be lured from Brooklyn to take over the general managership of the tribesmen. McKechnie will re- main under him as team manager.

Jimmy Dykes Praises White Sox Pitchers Chicago, Aug. 1—(#)—Jimmy Dykes, the little round man who manages the third place White Sox, was about ready Thursday to do a little pointing with pride at his pitching staff—a group of hurlers rated as about the weakest in the American League at the start of the season. “The end of the race is a long way off and anything can happen between now and then,” Dykes said, “but if our pitchers keep starting and fin- ishing as they have in the last three weeks, we will have something to say about the outcome. I’m not even thinking about saying we will win the pennant, though, for I still think De- troit and New York have the mosi all around strength.” BROS. WEBB
