f Fae ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1937 BENGAL GARDENER LBADS LEAGUE IN MOSTDEPARTHENTS Tigers Increase Margin Over Yanks by Half-Game With 12-9 Win Over Chisox MOST CLUBS ARE INACTIVE Bees Nose Out Giants, Dodgers Lose to Phillies in Only Other Game of Day (By the Associated Press) ‘The right mental attitude is a won- derful thing as witness the case of Gerald Walker, fast-flying right fielder of the Detroit Tigers and, at the moment, American League’ bat- ting leader and a front-runner in vir- tually every department of play. Gerald was the kingpin of the Ti- ger attack Tuesday as Mickey Coch-) rane and his men opened a home stand against the eastern clubs, led| by the world champion Yankees. Simultaneously, the White Sox, In- dians and Brown were entertaining the A's, Senators and Red Sox. In the National League, eastern teams) played hosts. Took Critics Seriously Walker had in recent seasons been criticized for head-strong or over- impetuous base rvsining that robboed him of hits and his mates of scor Gerald took those cracks to hear with the result that his game suf- fered. MONDAY’S STARS Hank Greenberg, home run with three on base started Detroit on way to 12-9 vic- tory over White Sox. Billy Weir, Tony Cuccinello and Vince DiMaggio, Bees—Weir pitched 6-hit ball to beat Giants 8-1; last two drove out doubles that brought in all of Boston's runs. Hershel Martin and Morris Ar- novich, Phillies—Former hit double, triple and two singles, latter four singles to lead way in 14-8 rout of Dodgers. This spring, however, he decided not to pay any attention to what he read about himself in the papers. As a result, he's beeng going like a streak. He was .in there again Monday while the Tigers took another half- e margin on the second-place ranks. Though Rookie Pat Mc- jaughlin lasted only three innings in pis first starting game, Detroit col- sected 19 assorted hits off four assort- ed White Sox pitchers to win, 12-9. Greenberg Homers Biggest blow of the afternoon was Hank Greenbérg’s homer with the bases loaded. Walker chimed in with two hits as the first five men in the Detroit bat- ting order—Jo-Jo White, Cochrane, Charley Gehringer, Greenberg and ‘Walker — bagged thirteen of their team’s safeties. With the Indians and Browns rained out and the other teams un- acheduled, the Tigers and White Sox were the only ones active in the jun- ior circuit. In the National League the four eastern clubs engaged in intramural war while awaiting the arrival of the Jeague-leading Pirates and other westerners, Shoemaker Loses At Boston, Billy Weir won his first 1937 game for the Bees in a pitchers’ duel with the Giants’ Hal Schumach- ‘championship tournament of the Ama- BOXING CARD HERE MAY 14 Sports Round-Up By EDDIE BRIETZ New York, May 4.—(AP)—Max Schmeling has done some tall run- ning around to get a shot at the heavyweight title...

Deno Pappas, Jaramillo’s manager, declared he and his charge expect to arrive in Bismarck several days prior to the fight to wind up their training. Jaramillo has been pronounced in A-1 shape and wants to prove it to the fans. Isham Hall, Demaray’s manager, was of the opinion that Pappas was trying to pull “a fast one.” Hall meant that Pappas apparently had the idea that Jaramillo could over-awe Dem- aray by showing his improvement since last they met. “A show of that kind won't mean @ thing to Dick,” said Hall. “One scrapper is just the same as another to him.

The predators, 10 crows, trapped and banded by the department will be Uberated and $5 will be paid for each bird killed when hunters forward the official state game and fish leg band to the department with information where the bird was shot or trapped, Rudrud explained. He said the department was study- ing movement of crows into North Dakot and that officials were inter- ested in their flights.

McKENNEY (Secretary, American Bridge League) One reason why most good bridge players insist upon four of partner's bid suit to justify a raise ,unless he has rebid, is that, if partner has bid on a four-card suit, a raise with three gives declarer a bare majority of the trump and leaves no safety margin to guard against a bad split in trumps. However, there are many situations in which declarer himself can guard against four trumps in one hand, by the simple expedient of discarding a loser, instead of trumping. In today’s hand, as the heart suit is divided four and four in the hands of the opponents, it happens that three no trump would have been a Of the more than 19,000,000 irri- ated acres in the United States prob- ably 8 per cent of them get water) directly from melting snows, U. 8.) agricultural engineers say.
