THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, AUGUS1 13, 1985 Fargo - Pierre, St. Paul-Ashland Paired for Regional Tournament POUR TEANS LAUNCH MME BATTLE HERE TUBSDAY ARTERNOON Gov. Welford Will Pitch First Ball of Championship Game Wednesday IDEAL WEATHER PREVAILS State Champions Enter Semi- Final to National Event on Equal Footing Battling for the right to represent the northwest in the western dis- trict competition at Stockton, Calif., American Legion Junior baseball champions from Minnesota, North ‘and South Dakota and Wisconsin equared off here Tuesday in first- round games of the regional tourna- ment, The Christie de Parcq post team of St. Paul was paired with Ashland, ‘Wis., in the firét game, called for 1:30 p. m., at Bismarck’s big league park with Fargo engaging Pierre, S. D., in the second affray. ‘Wednesday's championship game miso will begin at 1:30 p. m., with Governor Walter Welford pitching the first ball to Joe Rabinovich, Grand Forks, member of the Ameri- canism committee of the national Legion organization and commission- er of the tournament. Dawning clear and bright, the day promised ideal weather conditions and advance ticket sales for the tournament indicate that a crowd up- wards from 2,000 will witness the final game Wednesday. Twin City Arbiters Here Frank Blume and Barney Daugher- ty, Minneapolis arbiters, will officiate at all three tournament games. Both men are veterans of many years ex- perience and have umpired the last two North Dakota Legion tourna- ments. Without any significant compara- tive ratings on which to base pre- tournament “dope,” the four teams entered the tournament with an equal chance to cop the title. ‘Homer Major's club from Fargo, North Dakota's hope for the region- al title, was the only team that had @ comparatively easy time in fighting its. way to the top during the state tournaments. Well-coached in every department of the game, the Fargo nine improves as it goes along and will be especially hard to beat if they weath- er the first round game against Pierre. After beating back a determined bid of New England, the Fargo club showed a remarkable turn for the better and conquered a highly-favor- ed Minot aggregation, 9-2, and then went on to trounce Grand Forks, 6-1, for the state championship. Five Veterans on Squad With a mound staff headed by Gordon Stafne and Bob Haas, the Fargo entry has a squad composed of five veterans and seven first year Players who pack plenty of batting punch and play smart baseball throughout. Pierre, Fargo's first tournament foe, defeated Winner, 7-3, to win the state crown. The team has played 32 games this year with a record of 23 won and 9 lost. Twelve of the games were against adult teams, how- ever, which would enhance the show- ing made. Three pitchers, each of whom went the full route of one game in the state tournament, compose the Pierre mound corps. Charley Schoenwell, left-handed first baseman, is con- sidered one of the outstanding mem- bers of the squad but the entire team 4s a well-balanced organization in the ee of Frank Kelley, team coach manager. Brilliant pitching of Burton Gil- stad, who allowed only seven hits and fanned 12, enabled Ashland to ‘win the Wisconsin title by chalking up a 4-3 victory over New London in the championship game. - Team to Watch Strong every department, the ‘Ashland team will be one to watch during the tournament but will meet . ne foe in the St. Paul club. Mark Haywood’s boys from the (Christie de Parcq post of the Twin (Cities battled for 10-innings before emerging with a 17-6 win over the > Minneapolis Laidlaws in the Gopher state event. It was a game of rallies and count- fer rallies with the St. Paul post gain- fing the advantage chiefly because it refused to be beaten. Catcher McGinty of the St. Paul lub is one of the standout players. After allowing the tieing run to be scored in the ninth, McGinty made thimself a hero by driving in the win- hing tally with « timely tenth-in- ning single.

Browns Dictating Flag Contenders Hornsby's Club Paves Tigers’ Way to Top of American League Heap Chicago, Aug. 13.—(#)—They didn’t call Rogers Hornsby the “Rajah” for nothing. All washed up as the rajah of bats- men, he’s the dictator supreme, it seems, of the 1935 American League Pennant race with his base of oper- ations in a cellar loaded with dyna- mite. It is doubtful whether any manag- er of a last place club, excepting George Stallings of the Boston Braves of 1914, ever wielded as much in- fluence on a pennant race as has the rajah. As pilot of the lowly Browns, he has: Paved the road to the top for De- {troit, losing 13 out of 16 games to the Pennant bound Tigers. Opened the door to first place for the Tigers by whipping the Yankees three out of four and softening them up. Blasted the pennant dream of the Chicago White Sox by winning three and tying one in their last four game series when the White Sox were with- in striking distance of the lead. The Browns, 2912 games away from the top Tuesday and 7's games away from seventh place, hold a winning edge over only one team—the Red Sox, whom they have defeated six times in 11 games, They have won only 35 games out of 100 played. British May Put Up Scrap in Cup Series New York, Aug. 13—(#)—The feel- ing at Forest Hills where the British and American Wightman cup teams are practicing for their matches on Friday and Saturday is that the Brit- ish are going to make a real fight this year. Helen Jacobs, America’s No. 1 player and three times nation- al champion, was of the opinion that. i Detroit Is Again | Baseball-Mad City > —) Detroit, Aug. 13.—()—“What's the score?” That question, shouted from of- fice buildings, across the streets, from street cars and from auto- mobiles, reverberates over Detroit ‘Tuesday, indicative of the frenzy of excitement that has gripped this baseball-mad city. Everybody’s talking base ball. On every street corner the topic of conversation is the chance De- troit’s Tigers have of winning an- other American League pennant. Detroit fans think the Tigers are “in,” Perhaps the calmest person in town is Mickey Cochrane himself. “We've got a good, well-bal- anced club,” he says. ‘We weren't lucky last year and we'll win again this year.” Ruth to Make Major Golf Debut on Friday Cleveland, Aug. ‘13. — (#) — Babe Ruth, baseball's greatest slugger, will pair with Bill Burke of Cleveland, 1931 national open champion, and Tommy Armour of Chicago, who has held both the British and United States open titles, Friday in the $3,500 True Tem- per open golf championship here. It will be Ruth’s first appearance in a serious money tournament, PITTS SIGNED FOR TOUR Chicago, Aug. 13.—(®)—A theatrical booking agent announced Tuesday that he had signed Alabama Pitts, former Sing Sing convict, and Al Mamaux, manager of the Albany club of the International League, for a theatrical tour at the close of the present baseball season.

Honus Wagner, “flying Dutchman” | of National League fame, will open the tournament Tuesday night. | Tennis Tournament Favorites Advance Newport, R. I, Aug. 13.—(#)—Top- flight players in the Newport Casino tennis tournament crossed their fin- gers Tuesday, for the third and fourth round programs appeared full of grief for those trying to play themselves into form. None of the group was forced to ex- tend himself during Monday's open- | ing competition, featured by the steady performances of Bryan (Bitsy) Grant of Atlante, national clay court and eastern grass titlist, and Rod- erick Menzel, Czechoslovakian Davis cyp star. Top-seeded Frank X. Shields, who halted his film career to make the eastern grass swing, drew Ramsey Potts, Jr., of Memphis as his third- round rival. The second-seeded Don Budge and his Davis cup teammate, Gene Mako, fased sturdy opposition from two newcomers to the major tennis wars, Jess Millman of Los Angeles and Bernard Welsh of Washington.
