CAPITAL CITY CLUB DEPARTS; DICKINSON, MANDAN T0 FOLLOW Simle Confident Locals Will Make Good Showing in State Tourney TACKLE CANDO THURSDAY Westerners Engage Winner and Ellison’s Club Battles Forx Friday Bismarck’s American Legion Junior @aseball team, accompanied by Man- ager K. W. Simons and Coach The- mar Simle, left here Wednesday morning for Grand Forks where they will be pitted against Cando Thurs- day in the opening game of the an- nual state tournament. Two other Missouri Slope teams, Mandan and Dickinson, were also making final preparations to send their entries to Grand Forks. Both plan on leaving Thursday as they do not play until Friday when Mandan takes the field against Grand Forks and Dickinson opposes the winner of the Bismarck-Cando clash. Coach Simle was confident Wed- nesday that his club will make a bet- ter showing that its pre-tournament record for the season indicates. They have a record of three games won and four lost against other Legion teams in this vicinity. Show Improvement A marked improvement in the play has been noted recently and the team appears “ready” as it has not been be- fore this season. During the pre- tournament schedule the locals de- feated Mandan twice, broke even in two games with Harvey, lost two to Minot and one to Jamestown. Seventy candidates tried out for the squad in May and the selection of @ winning combination required care- ful tryouts for every squad member. One result of the hunt was to un- cover Dick McCabe, clean-up batter and a reliable shortstop. Dick had never before played junior baseball but is the kind of boy who seldom says much but hits the “apple on the nose” and is steady in the field. Other early-season games were given to testing out a pitching staff which now numbers three starting performers. They are Jackie Bowers, who plays third base when not on the mound; Johnny Entringer, a former outfielder; and Anton Schneider, a pitching discovery of recent weeks. Bowers No. One Hurler Bowers, a flashy third baseman with a great throwing arm, is a fire- ball pitcher with enough curves to make him effective; Entringer has good curves and fair speed and Schneider has the best curve ball and good speed, besides. Simle had hoped to use Nicky Schneider, regular catcher and spark- plug of the team, on the mound in the opening game against Cando but Nicky was in a car accident Monday and whether or not he would be able i pitch Thursday remained a ques- tion. If Schneider's injury is serious enough to remove him from the tournament it will seriously handicap Bismarck’s chances because he is a good hitter and has a great throwing arm which makes him invaluable be- hind the plate. At first base is Buddy Beall, all- state selection for for the last two years, a reliable fielder and a long- range hitter. Schuck at Second The keystone sack is covered by Johnny Shuck, a reliable fielder and fair hitter. When Bowers pitches Shuck goes to third and Bud Cun- ningham, a 14-year-old, takes over the second bese job. He is a good fielder but is less powerful at the Plate than Shuck. McCabe at short rounds out the in- field combination. Outfield regulars are Maynard En- tringer, a ball hawk on the defense and a strong hitter, in left field; Gregory Dahlen, another veteran who has done the most sensational out- fielding seen by Bismarck this season and a fair hitter, in center field and little Bill Richardson, smallest and youngest regular on the team, in right field. He is a reliable judge of a fly ball and a fair hitter. Reserves include Bob Brownawell for the outfield, and Bob Burckardt for both infield and outfield. Burck- ardt’s real job, however, is to coach on the first base line. Marlin Scott, reserve catcher, will do the receiving in the first game. He is a fair catcher and a fair hitter.

The Dodgers, although losing Tues- day’s final to the Bucs, 9-8, in ten innings, took three of the five-game series with the Pirates, to slug them far out of third place and let their arch-enemies, the Giants, take over that spot. ‘Through the Cubs’ setback and the idleness of the Cards, along with Boston, the Giants picked up consid- erable ground by coming through in both ends of a doubleheader * with Cincinnati, 5-1 and 11-3, The Yankees maintained their nine-game American League lead with a 16-6 victory over the Tigers. Lou Gehrig hammered out his 31st homer and Johnny Murphy showed fine form in a three-hit, five-inning relief trick. Myril Hoag was hurt when he and Joe DiMaggio collided chasing Goose Goslin’s fly in the sixth which went for a freak homer.

Robertson wanted Owens to have more practice at starting and to fol- low the schedule of the other sprint- ers, but Snyder objected and carried his point. The Ohio State coach accepted the responsibility for the schedule varia- tions, especially since the track and field committee had decided he was the best judge of Owens’ require- ments. Robertson’s authority nevertheless was fully recognized. It was agreed that Owens will have only one more brisk workout Thurs- day and then take things easy. Owens’ schedule calls for trials in the 100 meter dash Sunday with semi- finals and finals on Monday. The broad jump trials and finals and the 200 meter trials will keep the Negro ace busy Tuesday. With the exception of Fritz Pollard, Jr., high hurdler from North Dakota, who is nursing a strained leg muscle, the American Negro contingent ap- pears to have become quickly accli- |mated. oO || Fights Last Night | (By the Associated Press) Chicago — Bus Breese, 139%, Manhattan, Kas., stopped Sammy Verse, 138, Omaha, Neb., (3).
