FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1987 Comedy of Errors Winds Up Work on Today’s Boxing Card © MLL CITY MAULER |Spencer Boise Is Made Manager of Bismarck Junior Legion Nine TVETERANS BACK ~=‘Hubbell Stops Pirates 5-2 LOST AND FOUND IN OVERNIGHT MIX-UP Johnny Baker Arrives in City Late Under Terms of His Contract EXTRA BOUT ADDED TO CARD Jaramillo Looks Impressive in Short Workout Here Thursday Night Thirty-four rounds of fisticuffing ‘were on tap for Missouri Slope fans at 8:45 p. m., today in the World War Memorial building as a comedy of errors wound up the Bismarck Box- ing club’s promotion troubles. For a time Friday morning it looked as though Fred Thimmesch, club promoter, had a second walkout on his hands‘ as efforts to learn the whereabouts of Johnny Baker, Min- neapolis heavyweight, proved futile. THE CARD Time—8:45 p.m. Place — World War Memorial Building. Dick Demaray vs. Joe Jaramillo rounds, Joe Schneider vs. Young Wilke 3 rounds, Ernest Sacks vs, Martel New- ‘Under terms of a contract Baker hhad signed with the local club to ap- pear at least 24 hours before the card. He failed to show up at the public workout in the Ring Thursday night and Thimmesch began to think that Baker had renegged on his con- tract. ‘Ticket Unclaimed ‘Telephone contact with the Union depot at 10 p. m., Thursday revealed that Baker had not yet claimed the round-trip ticket sent him there by the club. Efforts to contact Joey ‘Thomas, his manager also failed. When the club could get no further information early today, it decided that Baker had taken a runout pow- der, and Thimmesch immediately be- gan preparing a formal complaint to the secretaries of the North Dakota athletic commission and the Minne- sota boxing commission seeking to have Baker penalized. At noon Friday, however, it was learned that Baker had claimed his ticket a few minutes before a Bis- marck-bound train left the Mill City last night. He arrived here early today and registered at a local hotel without notifying the club. Arranged Substitute In the meantime, Jimmy Moran of Minot, commission secretary, had ar- Tanged for Battling Bozo of Minot to substitute. Bozo will just be a spec- TRUMPETER ings LIQUEUR apricor ee BLACKBERRY eulcaco DEMARAY’S FOE TONIGHT 2 Joe Jaramillo, Denver dynamiter, will be just as tough as he looks if his appearance at the workout in The Ring Thursday night was any indication as to his condition. The hard-hitting Rocky Mountain wel- terweight champion lost a decision to Demaray in their first meeting here two years ago and since then has chalked up a technical knock- out over the Bismarck battler. tator at the card which commences at 8:45 p.m. To round out a full evening of boxing, the club added another three round bout to bring the total of scheduled rounds to 34. Meeting in one of the preliminaries will be Mills and Weymouth of Bismarck, both welterweights. Ticket sales were reported as the heaviest in many years by the club with estimates of the crowd antic- pee running from 1,000 to 1,500 ans, Jaramillo Looks Good Jolting Joe Jaramillo, the Denver flash, looked impressive in the few minutes he worked out in the Ring Thursday night. He appeared taller, heavier and faster than the last time he showed here, slightly over a year ago. It was evident to the fans that Dick Demaray, Bismarck’s pride, will have his hands full. Contestants will weigh in at 3 p. m. in the World War Memorial building under the supervision of Moran and Dr. A. M. Fisher: The referee situation was still un- settled with Moran's arrival awaited. Thimmesch understood that Abe Wallace, the former Fargo fighter, might be the third man in the ring for the main events. Thimmesch also said that action may be taken against Tony Galzier of Cody, Wyo., who cancelled a sched- uled agreement to meet Billy Mears, Bismarck featherweight, in another bout on the card. Nothing will be done, however, until Thimmesch has investigated the reason for Glazier's non-sppearance, Indianapolis Drivers Have Physical Tests Indianapolis, May 14.—(#)—Fifty automobile race drivers and me- chanics went to the hospital at the Indianapolis motor speedway Thurs- day, but not a one had been hurt. It was examination day at the track and physicians put the drivers and mechanics through physical tests to determine their fitness for the 500 mile race here May 31. One of the of the day came when Kelly Petillo, 1935, race winner, showed up for a physical test. Kelly announced a few weeks ago pe would not drive in this year’s event.

A week ago the Saints were in last Place. Since then they have won four out of six starts and Friday were tied with Kansas City for fifth piace, only five percentages points back of the fourth-place Columbus Red Birds. Sergeant Gabby Street’s men blew ® two-run lead Thursday, then tied the score twice before going on to de- feat Indianapolis, 6 to 5, in 10 in- nings, for their third straight victory. Joe Coscarart produced the big blow, singling with the bases filled in the extra inning. Jack Warner, with two doubles and @ single, Joe Morrissey who had three singles, and Bob Boken who con- tributed a homer and a single were big shots in the Saints’ 15 hit-attack. Kansas City remained in the fifth- place tie by shoving over a run in the ninth to defeat Toledo, 3 to 2.

Simons; Themar Simle to Continue as Coach Appointment of 8. 8. Boise as chdir- man of the American Legion’s junior baseball committee and manager of the local/junior team was announced Friday by Harry W. Rosenthal, com- mander of Lloyd Spetz Post No. 1, sponsor of the local junior Organiza- tion. Boise succeeds Kenneth W. Simons, who last year piloted the local club into the runner-up position in the state tournament at Grand Forks but was unable to continue as chairman and team manager this year because of the pressure of other affairs, Themar E. Simle, coach of the team for several years, will serve in that capacity again this year, Boise said, and he hopes to put another strong team in the field. Eligible from last year’s squad are all but one member of a four-man pitching staff which proved its ability last year. In addition to these a num- ber of likely looking ts have expressed interest and the outlook is for another strong team. Members of last year’s team who will be on hand this year, Simons re- ported to Boise, are: Nicky Schneider, all-state catcher who also did relief pitching in two games of the state tournament. John Bowers, Jr., third baseman and pitcher. William Richardson, right fielder. D. Schneider, third baseman and pitcher, Richard Yeasley, reserve infielder. Donald Scott, reserve catcher. Robert Burckardt, reserve infielder and baseline coach. Robert Brownawell, Sterling, a re- serve outfielder last year is still with- in the 17-year age limit but is inek igible to play because of a change in the national rules which forbid towns of more than 10,000 population to use players outside their corporate limits and not attending a local school. In_ addition to these veterans a number of likely looking prospects are already in sight and Boise invited all eligible boys to try out for the squad, limited by the national rules to 15 members. Practices are expected to begin next week, he said, the place and time of the initial workout to be announced later. Boise now is negotiating with the City Bark board for the use of the city baseball diamond, Last year the Le- gion team was given the right to use the diamond when it was not needed for the semi-pro team which had used it for several seasons, taking preced- ence over all other clubs. With no semi-professional team in the field this year the Legion is ex- pected to ask that its club be given prior rights to the use of the park. The Junior Legion team will be the only publicly-sponsored team in the city this year as a result of the fail- ure to reorganize the semi-professional club which won a national champion- ship in 1935 but which ran so deeply into debt in 1936 that its sponsors de- cided not to continue it this year. Bob Feller May Be Retired for Year Cleveland Club Official Declares Youth Won’t Pitch Till Arm ts Healed Cleveland, May 14—()}—It probably won't be necessary, but if advisable baseball's most publicized rookie, Bob Feller, will be retired for the entire season with an injury to his “million Aish posed arm, the pile ths oc Indians’ vice Ny and general “We're not any chances on that arm and we're not going to allow Bre Be Pch aea ae ie late teare of soreness had ,” said C.

Players will be assigned tena during the sien cee out, Clement Kelley, president of the Bismarck softball association, said. They were urged to note that the practice will be at Sev- enteenth St. and not at Seventh i eiger ennors ee The Blue Blazer Lounge is serving 3 Plate Luncheon every day Revised Batting Order, With DiMaggio in Cleanup Spot, Gives Yanks Win (By the Associated Press) Oddly enough, the only man in baseball today who wasn’t all steam- ed up over Carl Hubbell’s all-time winning streak was (you guessed it) Carl Owen Hubbell, himself. Naturally, “Squarepants” took pride in his string of 2l-in-a-row over & two-season stretch, but he realizes that one of these days, the law of averages is going to catch up with his good left arm—and then the Hub- bell bubble will be “busted.” “You know,” he repeated what he has said time and again, “a streak like that is largely a matter of luck. One of these days a pitcher is going to be hot against us and is going to shut us out.” Outclasses Others Until then, however, he’s still the New York Giants’ “meal ticket” who comes through with that win when it’s needed; still the screwball specialist whose 5-2 win over the Pirates Thursday topped off a performance that outclasses the streaks of the Mathewsons, the Johnsons or the Marquards. THURSDAY'S STARS Joe DiMaggio, Yankees—Hit tri- ple and two singles, driving in three runs in 4-2 win over Browns. Phil Cavarretta, Cubs—Doubled with bases loaded in 12th inning to drive in winning runs and beat Bees, 8-6. Joe Kuhel, Senators—Equalled major league record with three triples, driving in three runs and scoring three others in 10-2 win over White Sox. George Gill, Tigers—Shut out Red Sox, 4-0, with five hits in major league debut. Carl Hubbell, Giants—Stopped Pirates with six hits, fanning three, for 5-2 victory. Luke Hamlin, Dodgers — His four-inning, two-hit relief pitch- ing stopped the Reds for 6-4 Brooklyn victory. Si Johnson, Cards — Stopped Phils with one hit in three innings of relief pitching to save 5-4 win for Cards. ‘The queer part about the whole business is that the National League doesn’t recognize the streak as & record. The only distance flinging feats given official sanction are the 19-straight by Tim Keefe in 1888 and Rube Marquard in 1912. The Rube also had won his last start in 1911, for a run of 20 straight. It was that run which “King Carl” eclipsed Thursday with a six-hitter against the Pirates. It was “Hub's” fifth straight this year and hooked ‘onto his unfinished run of 16 last season. The best he is going to get for the job is a special notation in the books that he won 21 in a row in league competition for a two-year stretch. Kuhel Joins Hubbell Joining him in breaking into the record books Thursday was Joe Kuhel, Washington’s first baseman, who belted three triples to tie a mod- ern major league mark and lead the way to a 10-2 win over the White Sox, ending the Senators’ three-game losing streak. A revamped batting order paid divi- dends for the New York Yankees as they nosed out the St. Louis Browns, 4-2, and moved up to a third-place tie in the American League. Joe Di- Maggio, batting in the cleanup spot in Lou Gehrig's slot, clubbed out a triple and two singles. ed in their fourth straight win, top- ping the Cincinnati Reds, 6-4, while the Chicago Cubs went 12 innings before downing Boston's Bees, 8-6, and the St. Louis Cardinals con- tinued their Baker Bowl belting with @ 5-4 conquest of the Phillies. his major league starting debut, George Gill pitched a five-hit shutout as the Tigers topped the Red Sox, 4-0. For the second straight day, the Athletics and Cleveland were rained out.

BRREEERR Hs Distance Hitters Set Pace in Open dimmy Hines, Sam Snead Lead Metropolitan Golf Tourney Field by Two Strokes Bloomfield, N. J., May 14.—(%)- The Big Berthas of the 30th annual Metropolitan Open golf championship were sitting on the peak of a two- stroke advantage over their nearest pursuers Friday as the $2,000 72-hole tournament went into its second round. But one of them. blond Jimmy Hines of Garden City, N. Y., had no delusions of grandeur. Though he and Sam Snead, the rookie from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., paced the field through the first round with 68's, two under par, and the short, narrow Forest Hill field club course would seem to favor their accurate power-hitting, Jimmy can’t see it that way. “There are no testing par 5's on this course,” he said, “where Sam and I would be helped by getting home in two to the shorter hitter’s three. But here, with fellows like Henry Pickard, Paul Runyan and Vic Ghezzi breath- ing on our necks, I know that either or both of us will have a battle to stay out in front.” Picard was an attraction himself, for he, with Runyan and four others, had tied at 70 behind Hines and Snead, ‘Thursday.
