M. in Ball Park SEATTLE BEATS PIERRE, s Angeles Meet Today in THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1936 Bismarck Still in Wichita Meet With 10-1 Victory Over Flint, Michigan "Braddock AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPS UP [Milwaukee Saves Cg and *|PIRATES POUND CARDS, 17.5; Los Angeles Coasts to Easy Victory Over Omaha in Semi-Finals Two Pacific coast teams, Seattle and Los Angeles, faced each other Tuesday ready to do battle for the Western sectional junior Legion base- ball championship and the right to play in the Little World Series for the national title. The final game of the three-day tournament was set for 2 p. m. Tucs- day, at the Bismarck bali park. Los Angeles coasted through the semi-final bracket Monday afternoon with a 15-4 win over the speedy little Alamitos Dairy club of Omaha, Nek. Seattle's winning margin in its 8-5 victory over a fighting team from Pierre, S. D., was all made in the eighth inning. Hutchinson Stars From the spectators’ standpoint, the Seattle-Pierre clash had two outstanding features. One was the pitching performance of Hutchinson, cool-headed, steel-armed twirler from the coast city, and the errorless sup- port he received from his smooth- fielding mates. Hutchinson pitched five innings of the Seattle-Butte game Sunday, then went the full route against Pierre the next day. | is one of the stand-out pitching feats of the tournament so far. The hefty right-hander also poled out a nice triple and a single in four times at bat. Pierre Rallies But stout-hearted Pierre's eighth inning rally gave the bitterly fought “Ss contest its most exciting moment. The stage had been set by Seattle's three runs in the third inning, and! ; ‘by the scoreless frames that followed. Then, in the eighth, two Pierre men got on. Hengel, heroic little third baseman for Pierre, who played bang-up ball for the South Dakota crew all dur- ing the tournament, came to bat. He looked a couple over, and then Hut- chinson put one down the groove. Hits Home Run Hengel laced into it. The center ped just beyond his outstretched fin- gers and rolled into the far corner where the two outfield fences join. As Hengal rounded third with the}; tying run, the ball was just being thrown into the infield, and Cope- land, Seattle catcher, amazed the| crowd and probably himself, too, by putting a perfect roll block on the!‘ flying Hengal six feet away from | home plate. | Hengal, knocked flat on his stom-! ach, crawled the last few inches and slapped his outstretched hand on the rubber to tie up the ball game. Schoenwell Does Good Job Schoenwell, on Pierre, faced a tough assignment in! the Seattle sluggers, and he did his; job well. He went the full route and|° never let the situation get away from him. His teammates’ errors were a decided factor in con- verting the nine hits he granted into runs, 4 Only three of Seattle's well-balanced squad failed to break into the hit column. Morris, center fielder, got! three singles in five trips to the plate to lead the “murderers’ row” of junior Jeague ball. Los Angeles Gets 18 Hits In the other semi-final contest, the boys from sunny California enjoyed a| J. field day at the expense of the Omaha | ! Alamitos. The ball refused to break | right for three Nebraska pitchers, and the Los Angeles squad belted them almost at will for 18 safe blows. Although Stephens, Los Angeles hurler, was more generous with his free trips to first than were his three opponents together, he went the route | i held the Alamitos to six safe lows. With the exception of Armstrong, | } who took over the second sack duties Joseph, third baseman, led the assault with a triple and a double in five tries, In the final first round matches, which were played Monday morning, Los Angeles defeated Holdenville. Okla., 8-5, and Omaha trounced Louis- ville, Colo., 5-2. These were two of the most closely contested games of the entire tournament.

St. Paul, holder of second position, took a 9 to 3 beating from Minneap- olis yesterday, and a victory for the Blues over Milwaukee in their night game would have meant a tie for the runner up spot. The Brewers, how- ever, preserved the Saints’ one-game }margin over Kansas City by shoving over a run in the last of the ninth for a 4 to 3 decision. Minneapolis did enough scoring in the first inning to beat the Saints, belting Ira Hutchinson for four hits and five runs, including home runs by Hauser and Thompson, Reg Gra- bowski held the Saints to seven blows.
