THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1936 i Capital City Nine PAIGE, DESIDERATO, RADCLIFFE, TROUPE EXPECT T0 BE BACK Massmann, Second Sacker, to Return After Year in Three-Eye League CONSTRUCT NEWCLUBHOUSE Association Teams to Wind Up Sale of $5,000 Block of Stock This Week Stars of last year’s national semi- pro championship team will be at the key positions in Bismarck’s 1936 base- ball lineup if all players who have signified their willingness to return report when the first practice is called on May 15. Walter “Babe” Moen, tentatively scheduled to assume the managerial reins relinquished last fall by Neil Churchill, announced Thursday that such stellar performers as Satchel Paige, Joe Desiderato, Harold Mass- mann, Quincy Troupe, Hilton Smith, Red Haley, Barney Morris and Ted Radcliffe had assured him they would return to play under the Capital City banner this season. Meanwhile the baseball committee of the Association of Commerce, read- ed by J. P. Wagner, set out to com- plete the sale of a $5,000 block of stock in the Bismarck baseball enterprize. Solicitation teams have had good success in the drive and plan on a quick cleanup of the work this week- end, Wagner said. Organization of the corporation, election of officers and the selection of a manager will be made soon after all of the stock is sold. Build New Clubhouse Out at the bell park, a crew of WPA laborers are busily engaged in the construction of a new clubhouse. The new structure, which will be built at an estimated cost of $1587, will be 48 by 24 feet of concrete and frame con- struction, It will be divided into two dressing rooms, completely equipped with showers, lavatories and lockers for the competing teams. The new club- house is located on the east side of the park just inside the fence and will be available to both the senior and the Junior American Legion teams. Two of last year’s stars, who helped Bismarck to the semi-professional pennant with seven consecutive Witchita tournament victories, will not be back this year. Al Leary, shortstop, of Great Falls, Mont., has gone to Sioux City of the ‘Western League and Big Moose John- son, hard-hitting outfielder, formerly of the Sioux City team, is trying out with the Albany club of the Interna- tional League. euco MSORWERE | orate ery Paige Expected Back The elongated Paige, pitching won- der of the Negro baseball world who ‘has been barnstorming around the west coast during the winter, inform- ed Moen he would accept another contract here and is believed to be somewhere between here and Los Angeles on his way east. Paige bore the brunt of the pitch- ing duties last year and will repért in good condition after a full winter season. The big six-foot three-inch ace, who has been the talk of base- ball magnates throughout the country for years because of his great per- formances, faced several all-star ma- jor league aggregations this winter and won a big percentage of the ex- hibition games. Desiderato, regular third baseman, has been in Chicago since the team disbanded last fall. Massmann is al- 80 in Chicago. The spirited little sec- ond sacker, after a tryout with the ‘Milwaukee Brewers last spring, went to Fort Wayne of the Three Eye League and batted in leadoff posi- tion with close to a .300 average while covering the hot corner for the Fort ‘Wayne club. ‘The Fort Wayne club disbanded at the end of the season and Massman, made a free agent, has signified his desire to return here. Morris, Haley on Hand Morris, pitcher, and Haley, utility infielder, have been in Bismarck during most of the winter and are getting anxious for the season to get under way. Radcliffe, all-around performer, who can pitch, catch or play in the outer garden, spent the winter in Chicago while Troupe, slugging back- stop, has been employed as a detective by department stores in his home town of St. Louis. Troupe recently ‘was an alternate on the Chicago Golden Gloves squad that went to New York for the inter-city series. He hopes to earn enough money this summer to continue his studies at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., where he is a sophomore. Smith, pitcher and outfielder, is at his home in Monroe, La., and should report in good shape for the start of the season. Manager Moen is still angling for the services of a good shortstop and @ first baseman and expects to have completed his. negotiations with two of several likely looking prospects be- fore the season begins. ‘The team will play its first game at _ Wallsy City on May 24 and plans to open the home season on Memorial Day against an unnamed opponent. . Grand Slam, owned by Bohn and Markey’s Bomar stable, is among the horses favored in the sixty second running of the Kentucky derby at Churchit! Downs. May 2. (Associated Press Photo) Jump Elimination Beaten in Ballot State Prep Coaches Vote Against Alteration of Rule, 20 to 12 (By the Associated Press) Forces opposed to elimination of the center jump gained additional strength Thursday as late votes in a} poll conducted among mentors of leading North Dakota high school teams gave the negative side nearly a two-to-one advantage. Coaches at Aneta and Minot Model schools joined 10 others to give those favoring the proposal a total of 12 adherents while the ranks of those opposed to rule changing in general and elimination of the tip-off in particular swelled to 20. Latest negative votes came from high school coaches at Fessenden, Cando, Beach, Maddock Aggies, Fort Yates, Lakota, Dickinson, and North- wood. Athletic directors favoring the pro- posal cited a faster game, removal of a handicap to small players and in- creased teamwork while a score of others decried constant rule chang- ing and asserted the “stepped-up speed” would be too great a strain on prep school cagers. Among coaches previously recorded were: { Against—Jamestown, Devils Lake, | Bismarck, Minot, Williston, Mohall, | Hillsboro, Carrington, Ellendale, To-| kio, Wahpeton and Mayville. For—Grand Forks, Fargo, Rugby, Crosby, Walsh County Aggies, Har- vey, Kenmare, Garrison, Larimore and Bowbells. Tokio, Minot Model High-Scoring Teams (By the Associated Press) With only a fraction of one point separating the two teams, Tokio and Minot Model high schools established themselves as leaders among high scoring teams in North Dakota. The team from Tokio, a small com- munity in Benson county, scored an average of 35'2 points per game through the 1935-36 basketball season and less than half a point behind was the Minot Model quint, Only two other teams reported aver- age scoring above 30 points per game. | They were Ellendale 3114 and Aneta 31, Trailing were Fort Yates 1912, Beach 29, Valley City and Fessenden, half a point above 28, Harvey, Bis- marck and Wahpeton 28; Northwood, Minot, Crosby, Grand Forks and Mott 27.

Joe Louis May Tour 11 Foreign Countries New York, April 9.—(4)—Joe Louis Thursday had an added incentive for licking Max Schmeling in June and then taking the world’s heavyweight! crown from James J.

Dickson also would like to book Max Pilots’ Criticism — Rankles Yawkey Millionaire Red Sox Owner Would Like to Spend Money as He Pleases New York, April 9.—(P)—If it’s not asking too much, Tom Yawkey, mil- lionaire owner of the Boston Red Sox, would like to spend his money as he pleases without too much criticism from the other owners in the Ameril- can League. Yawkey doesn’t want to make any- thing of this. He merely wants it made clear that “with the exception of the deal for Joe Cronin every price I have been quoted as paying for ball players has been grossly ex- aggerated; and even if they hadn't it would be my own private concern.” It is generally accepted Yawkey has spent $3,500,000 on the club since 1932. “Everybody's worrying about my going broke,” Yawkey said. “And while I appreciate their interest, I don’t think there's much of a chance of that.” Yawkey admitted “two or three of- ficials of other clubs in the league” had complained about the policy of the Red Sox. From now on he hopes to be able to bolster the Red Sox without having to rely too much on his fortune. He said the club was planning to take on additional work- ing agreements with other clubs, With The Majors ‘By the Associated Press) Cubs, Sox to Clash Chicago—The White Sox were due home Thursday to await the opening of their spring series with the Cubs at Comiskey Park Friday.
