| RBLIRDS SE ET UP HERE LAST YEAR ARE RECOGNIZED Bismarck Affair Will Again Be Regarded as Official in Recording New Marks FORX MEET OPENS FRIDAY (Two New Standards Made in Carnival Here Last Year in Century, Pole Vault Grand Forks, N. D., May 13—(F)— North Dakota track and field record books were dusted off Thursday as high school cinder stars gathered here for the 1937 renewal of the annual state cinder path competition, open- ing Friday at the University’s Mem- orial stadium. Although no official tabulation of records has been made since 1934, Guperintendent L. A. White, secre- tary of the state High School league's | board of control, asserted that the two records set in the state meet at Bismarck in 1936 would be recog- nized. Bismarck Records Upheld White pointed out that the Bis- marck meet would again be recog- nized this year insofar as any new records were concerned, but that the/ Grand Forks meet would determine | the state championship team, as last | year. Four unofficial records were set in 1936, two by Morrell Sexton of Fargo in the high and low hurdles, due to changes in the distance for prep ath- Tetes. Sexton’s marks of 22.9 sec- onds in the low sticks and 15.6 in the highs are expected to be recog- nized as official when the assault on records begins Friday. ‘The other marks were hung up at. Bismarck, where Joe Walery of Gladstone negotiated the century in 10 flat, clipping one-tenth of a sec- ond off the mark set by Collins of Grand Forks the year previous, and Bill Spear of Dickinson hurled the javelin 177 feet to better the record set by H, Krentz of Fargo in 1932. Anamoose Boy Set Mark Graham of Anamoose holds the record in the longer dash event. He ran the 220 yards in 22.4 seconds in 1930. ‘The best quarter mile in prep track annals was run by Horner of Mohall in 1929 when he stepped the distance in 51.4. Bill Fieler of Dickinson is the only double record-holder in the state event. He set a record of 4 min. 33 gec, in the mile run at Bismarck in 1934 and broke the existing half mile mark the following year at Grand Forks, running the shorter distance event in 2:2, -Oldest record on the books is held by Zoerb of St. Thomas who hurled the discus 125 ft. 2% in. in 1921.

Healthy Fawn Crop Forecast for N. D. Bismarck, N. D., May 13—(}— Prospects for a “healthy fawn crop” was seen Thursday by Chief Warden Almon Norton of the state game and fish department who asserted possi- bilities are good for an open season on deer in North Dakota next No- vember, Norton said wardens in Pembine and Missouri river deer country re- ported many new-born deer in the brushlands and that conditions this spring are “favorable” for fawning which continues until mid-June. “There is considerable agitation by Sportsmen for an open season this year on deer of either sex,” Norton Said. He estimated that at present the deer ratio in North Dakota was years later McCracken of Grand Forks leaped 5 ft., 10% inches to es- tablish a high jump’mark which also has withstood assault. Other existing records are: Pole vault—12 ft. 3% in, by Land- of Underwood in 1934. Shot put—5l ft, 1% in. by Diets of Mohall in 1934. Broad jump—22 ft, 4% in. by Fitzmaurice of Mohall in 1934.

Fifth St. Phone 2266 Gas House Outfielder Leads _Loop in Runs Batted in, Hitting and Base Hits | (By The Associated Press) The time has come for someone to carry the torch for Ducky-Wucky | Medwick. Although he’s generally re- ‘garded as one of big league baseball's five most dangerous hitters, and has played as big a part as anyone ‘in the Cardinals’ fight to stay in the top-flight, the headlines somehow have missed him. They’e gone instead to Dizzy Dean’s noisier exploits or to the colorful an- tics of such othergas-house gangsters as Pepper Martin. Yet, Medwick has been producing the runs, game after game, so vital to the Cards and their wretched pitching staff. Last season, he led the league in runs batted in, base hits and total bases, was third in the batting race, and put his name in the record books by collecting 64 two-baggers and ten hits in ten straight times at bat. In chis five-and-a-fraction years under the big tent, he’s hit for a .333 aver- age. WEDNESDAY’S STARS Ducky Medwick, Catdinals— Hit two homers and two doubles, driving in five runs, in 15-3 win over Phillies. Bill Swift, Pirates—Summoned as relief pitcher, he fanned two batters to end rally and hurled three hitless innings to beat Gi- ants, 6-5. Charley Root, Cubs—Muffled Bees with five hits for 6-2 vic- tory. Zeke Bonura, White Sox—Hit homer and two singles, driving in three runs in 13-5 win over Senators. Max Butcher, Dodgers— Stopped Reds with five hits for 5-1 win. Leads Batters Sd far this year, he’s leading the National League in batting, with .442, in runs batted in, in base hits and in doubles, and is tied for the top in Tuns scored. He found Baker Bowl, the Phillies’ pint-sized ball orchard, and the slants of Claude Passeau and Pete Sivess much to his liking Wednes- day, and teed off for fair, collecting two homers and a pair of two-base smashes, and driving five runs across to set the pace for a 15-3 walloping the Cards’ pinned on the slipping Phils. ‘The victory failed to close the gap between the second-place Gas House gang and the league leading Pitts- burgh Pirates. The Bucs maintained their 3% game edge by twice coming from behind to whip the Giants 6-5 with the hero role falling to Bill Swift’s three inning hitless, runless relief twirling. Brooklyn's Dodgers entrenched themselves more firmly in the first division with a 5-1 win over the cel- lar-dwelling Cincinnati Reds, behind Max Butcher's five-hit flinging. Charley Root Wins Charley Root, as usual, tossed his home run ball in the sixth inning, but by that time the Chicago Cubs | @—- had given him too great an advan- tage for the Boston Bees to over- come, despite a pair of round-trippers by Gene Moore and Tony Cuccinello. As a result, Charley pulled out a 6-2 win for Chicago. All but one game in the American League was rained out, with the Chicago White Sox moving up to sixth’ place by trampling the luck- less Washington Senators, 13-5.

Vandee Added to Card An injury suffered in a workout by Tommy Glazier of Cody, Wyo., sched uled opponent of Billy Mears, the Capital City’s crack little feather- weight, forced the promoters at the, last minute to seek a new opponent. They announced after s barrage of teBpnone calls that Kid Vandee of Minot would meet Billy. Vandee probably will outweigh Billy by some 10 pounds. Meanwhile the announcement of who will handle the principal bouts awaited the arrival of Jimmy Moran of Minot, secretary of the North Dakota athletic commission. Moran was expected sometime Thursday. Moran and Dr. A. M. Fisher of Bismarck will superintend the weigh- ing in and physical examinations of the contestants in the World War Memorial building at 3 p.m. Fri- day, Thimmesch announced. Every fighter has reported himself in A-1 shape and no disqualifications are anticipated. Tickets Sell Rapidly Fight tickets were reported moving briskly here Thursday with the out- of-town demand heavier than it has been in the last five years. A capacity crowd is anticipated in the choice ringside and ground floor seats. Thimmesch advised local fans to get their tickets today if they expect good ones because he expects an influx of fans from surrounding towns Friday. One group of eight fans is coming: here from Rapid City, 8. D., for the bouts. They are rabid boosters for Jaramillo, who first attracted at- tention in Black Hills rings. Thimmesch said that “while this card has cost the club more expense than any other staged here in four years, the prospects of a better house @ successful venture. The suc- cess of this card will mean bigger and better cards for Bismarck.” (Ae a eS \] Baseball Standings (By the Amociated Press) AMERICAN LEAGUE The signature of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, once sold for $28,000.

Bomber Has Dreams of Million Dollar Ring Earnings by Time of Title Bout as Kenosha, Wis. May 13.—(7)—Joe Louis observed his 23rd birthday Thursday, cheerful over the prospect of increasing his ring earnings to $1,- 000,000 by the time he fights James J. Braddock for the world’s heavyweight championship. There was no celebration in the Negro challenger’s training camp. aside from a little dinner for his camp attendants tonight. Bill Bottoms, his cook, promised to bake a cake with 23 flickering candles and give him plenty of his favorite dish—fried chicken. Since the Brown Bomber quit working in a Detroit automobile plant three years ago, he has amassed the! nq amazing total of $758,000 from: his engagements in the ring. He began his professional career, July 4, 1934, re- ,,| ceiving a paltry $50 for his first bout. 667| At the end of. 1936 he had earned $711,923, Starting off the present year he collected $37,814 for his bout with Bob Pastor and $8,826 for flat- tening Natie Brown in Kansas City. Out of this total Louis has saved about $250,000. He built a home for his mother in Detroit and purchased a six-flat apartment ‘building for himself on fashionable Michigan | boulevard in Chicago. He also is paying for a $200,000 annunity. Aside from purchasing automobiles and fine clothes, Louis does not waste his money. His co-managers, John Rox- borough and Julian Black, see to that. Within the last two years he has ac- quired. six or eight automobiles and 50 or more suits, with the necessary accesories.

The hard way has given Brewer fans chills and shudders for the last two games, but the winning streak was still alive Thursday—10 straight since their last road defeat and 14 in @ row at home. Monday Milwaukee scored five runs in the last two in- nings to nip the Columbus Red Birds, but that was nothing to what hap- pened Wednesday, with Mickey Heath as the hero. With two men out and no one on base in the last half of the ninth inning, Allan Sothoron's boys were trailing the Red Birds, 2-0. Then Morton Cooper walked Ken Keltner and Ted Gullic, and Heath arose to the occasion by crashing out his sixth home run of the season for a 3-2 triumph. Toledo retained its slender grip on second place, six games behind the brewers by making it two straights over Kansas City, 3-1. Giants Tie for Fifth 8t.
