' C tec tm THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1936 Garrison to Entertain District Junior Baseball Teams Sunday | BISMARCK, TUTTLE Yanks, Still Going Strong, Keep Nine-Game Lead in American League Race SPORT PROGRAM AT C.M.T.C. CAMP INCLUDES COMPULSORY SWIMMING AND GARRISON IN TWO-DAY TOURNEY Local Juniors, Wit With Strong Pitching Staff, Are Favored to Emerge Victors OTHER ENTRIES ARE STRONG Bowers and Schneider Likely to Get Mound Assignments, Simle Says Decision to transfer the district Junior Baseball tournament from Bis- marck to Garrison this week-end was announced Thursday by William Ber- tleson of Steele, district athletic of- ficer for the American Legion. ‘The change was mad. necessary by the fact that the Bismarck senior team had scheduled a game for the big league park here Sunday and it proved inadvisable to attempt to play off the two games of the tournament in one day. Bismarck’s juniors, blessed with plenty of pitchers, agreed to an ar- Tangement whereby the local team would meet Garrison, champions of the northern end of the district in a Saturday morning game with the winner to play Tuttle, southern loop winner, in the afternoon. Garrison objected to this arrangc- ment because it has few pitching re- serves and it would be under «. handi- cap in the event it defeated the Bis- marck entry in the first encounter. As an alternative it offered to en- tertain the tournament on a two-day basis. Bismarck’s juniors are favored to capture the district title as they have done for the last few years. Members of the squad have been practicing faithfully since early May and the team has shown steady im- provement. Coach Themar Simle said Thursday he believes his squad is stronger than its season record would indicate be- cause much experimentation was necessary in the early stages to work out a satisfactory combination from the 70 candidates who reported for the squad. He added that he “wouldn't be sur- prised” if the Bismarck juniors proved to have one of the strongest junior Pitching staffs in the state. Anton Schneider, John Bowers and John Entringer are listed as starting hurlers with Bob Yeasley in reserve. Bowers probably will get the call in the opening tournament tilt against Garrison with Schneider slated to hurl in the second—if Bismarck wins the first game. Tuttle won the southern sub- division title in a tourament played two weeks ago at Nepoleon while Gar- rison nosed out a strong Washburn am to capture the north sub-district le. Bismarck, alone in the central sub- district, entered the district finals without having to play in a previous tournament. The tournament winner will repre- sent this district in the state contest cll re held two weeks hence at Grand Pitchers Dominate In Kittenball Loop} ‘The Capital Chevrolets beat the Paramounts 14 to 5 and the Will Seed company team defeated the K of C's in kittenball games Wednesday.

D. GOLF MEET’ Cook to Be Leading Bismarck | Candidate for Title He Has Held Six Times Fargo, N. D., July 16.—(4)—The 22nd annual tournament of the North Da- kota State Golf association, to be held at the Fargo country club beginning Sunday and ending Thursday, is ex- pected to draw a large list of entrants s and a select list of contenders for the championship to be defended by Billy Sundahl of Jamestown. Paul Cook of Bismarck, the toughest golfer in the history of the state as- sociation, having annexed the champ- ionship six times, has assured James E Gaffaney of Fargo, secretary of the | State association, he will compete. Gaffaney has assurances from more than 32 players capable of qualifying} for a berth in the championship flight, based on past performances. Indica- tions point strongly to a minimum of 60 players. Entries must be in before 6 p. m. Friday to be included in the early pair- ings. Thirty-six holes of qualifying play are scheduled for the medal round Sunday. One 18-hole round will be played Monday. Two rounds of 18 holes each are scheduled for Tues- day, with the semi-finals, over 36 holes, Wednesday, and the final, also 36 holes, Thursday. Cooperstown, Fargo Leading in Tourney Are Only Undefeated Teams in Competition for Semi-Pro Championship Devils Lake, July 16.—()—Coopers- town and the Fargo Braves, the only two nines remaining undefeated in North Dakota state semi-pro tourna- ment play, meet Thursday night with a berth in the finals Sunday as the prize. Floyd Stromme’s strong right arm carried Cooperstown into tonight's climactic battle with a 2-0 upset vic- tory over the Dakota Millers Wednes- day. The Braves moved in by beating Kulm Tuesday. Stromme stopped the Miller bats- men cold, giving up three singles and fanning 14 as his mates nicked Lefty Rene for eight blows although the Mill team’s ace struck out 21. In other games Wednesday among teams defeated once, Zeeland walloped Deslacs, 12 to 3, and Wellsburg trounced New Rockford, 11 to 2. ‘ihe defeates eliminated New Rockford and Deslacs, Wellsburg is paired ‘against Stras- burg and Kulm meets the Millers in contests Thursday afternoon to pare|.." ~ the field to five teams, preparatory to a draw when the four beaten teams will battle for the right to play the undefeated nine in the finals under the double-elimination system.

If the Bengals can win 13 of their last 18 games without Mickey; Cochrane or Hank Greenberg, what will they do when these babies get back into the lineup? . . Suppose you noticed that the Boston Bees, who didn’t cost a dime, are almost even with the gold plated Red Sox in the Standings . . . Mebbe that expla: why the Sox are playing to congrega- tions of 2,500 and 3,000. Is this one for the W. K. Book, ‘or isn’t it? . Some time ago Gene Venzke, the runner, wrote a maga- zine piece for which he received $400 . . The A. A, U. told Gene if he accepted the check he would be ruled apro . . . Now, according to a Phil- adelphia story. Gene, at the sugges- tion of Dan Ferris, secretary of the A. A, U., has turned the check over to the Olympic fund . . . What we'd: like to know is this: If the check made Gene a pro, what does it make Ferris? . Confine your answers to 50 words, please, Boston papers say the fans there are riding Jimmy Foxx because he looks too pleasant after failing to deliver at the plate. They want him to snarl, spit terbacker juice plumb across the field, hurl his bat at the dugout and shake his fist at the um- . and in 100-degree weather. Tom ‘Yawkey has definitely made up his mind that he can’t buy a pen- nd will go on no more spend- . Not that we want to throw cold water on the well-laid plans of some of his brother magnates, but those are the facts; In Detroit the other day, Buck Newsom, Washington pitcher, lost 14 pounds twirling the Senators to a 5-0 victory over the Tigers. Smooth sailing: Forrest Towns, the Georgia hurdler, doesn’t get hot until he’s three hurdles from home - Thea he turns on the juice and goes to town . . Rival coaches blasted Kitty Rawls, the Miami eye- full,’ for entering (and winning) 50 many swim events, thereby knocking over deserving gals out of a trip! across the pond. The wise boys certainly called the turn in the 1500-meter run—Gene Venzke was counted out as early as last Friday and Bill Bonthron’s old coach.

Statistics Prove Point In spite of their more-or-less bat- ting calmness, statistics show the | Yanks are taking care of their Am- jerican League lead. Consider these pickups from the se2son’s record books: 18 starts, to land in second place. Yet the Yanks have taken 12 out of the same 18, The league lead of Gehrig and come pany was 10% games on July 1. A week ago, it was nine games. Today it still is nine games. At that rate—a game and a half every two weeks—it would take the Tigers until Oct. 15 to catch up and the season ends in Sep- tember. Average 10 Hits a Game Since the first of the month they've been averaging 10 hits per game— {enough to win ball games in most leagues. ‘They demonstrated that point Wed- nesday by taking the nightcap of the twin bill 7-4 with a 10-hit attack, after losing to School-boy Rowe 5-1 in the opener. ‘The National League lead mean- while was undergoing a stretching, with the Cubs boosting their edge a full game by downing the Bees 2-0 while the up-and-coming Phillies pulled out a 5-4 win over the second place Cardinals. The Bees not only lost the gamé, but their ace hitter and first sacker, Baxter Jordan as well. Billy ~ Her- man’s spikes tore Jordan’s heel open in the fifth inning. Indians on Spree The Cleveland Indians, boosting their winning streak to five straight with a 6-4 edge over the Athletics, moved into third place before Vernon Kennedy's pitching and the aroused White Sox, 6-4, sank to fourth. The Boston Red Sox stayed in the second division, although trouncing the lowly Browns 11-3 and 9-1 in a doubleheader. The Pirates broke even in a twin bill with the Giants, winning the opener 5-4, but falling apart afield and in the pitching department in the nightcap to go down 14-4.
