ak le to THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1937 Promoters Here Start Organization of Baseball Team HOME TALENT, NOW SALARIED OUTFIT IS NEW PROPOSAL Stars From Last-Years Semi- Pro Nine Will Form Nu- cleous for Club SCHEDULE DAILY WORKOUTS Plan Opening Day Game Here for Memorial Day; Other Games to Be Earlier Bismarck is to have an independent, baseball team this year that will do credit to its semi-pro predecessors of the past few years but will be ope- rated strictly on a pay-as-you-go, Ppay-for-itself basis. That was the announcement made} by Chick Haley, playing manager of the outfit, and other promoters Fri- day. Candidates for the team have been working out for more than two weeks, Haley said, with daily work- rd scheduled for the next week or WO, A home talent, no-salaried outfit is the idea, with the object being to give the city a nine that can play high-class baseball and compare well with those of the past years and still be a paying proposition. Bismarck promoters, apparently, have had enough of the idea of an expensive collection of outside performers and would like to put the game here on a Profitable basis. Ran Into Deficit Last year the Bismarck club, prac- tically unbeatable and one of the best nines ever put together in the state, ran into a sizeable deficit and there is no intention of allowing such a thing to happen again. Four stars from the Bismarck semi- pro nine of last year will be on hand to form a nucleus for the team this year, it was announced Friday. Red Haley, Al Leary and Mike Goetz are already on the ground, with Harry Slefka not here now but due to put in his appearance soon, Haley said. Added to this group will be several other promising players who have performed with other teams in this locality. Anyone interested in trying out for the team is urged to report. for the practices, which are being held at 6:30 p. m. daily in the ball park. Present plans call for the opening game to be played here on Memorial day, with one or two practice games to be scheduled before that time.

He was rushed into action last night at In- dianapolis after the Indians had filled the bases on Johnny Niggeling, and pitched in oldtime form to stop the rally without a run being scored. He was still good enough to save an 8 to 6 win for Niggeling. Johnny Welch, former Chicago Cub and Boston Red Sox hurler, held To- ledo to four singles as St. Paul shut out the Mudhens, 3 to 0, in another number on a full program of night games, Minneapolis won its second straight of the series with Columbus behind Walter Tauscher's effective pitching, 3 to 1. The former major leaguer permitted nine hits and walked three men, but had six strkeouts at oppor- tune moments.

OUT OUR WAY YOU SURE OUGHT TO KETCH ONE, WES. THET'S A MIGHTY FAST HOSS- The celebrated “battle of the century” at St. Louis, which started out as @ pitchers’ duel between “King Carl” Hubbell of the New York Giants and Dizzy Dean, Cardinal ace, almost ended in a free-for-all battle in the ninth inning. The melee started when Dean and Ripple, Giant outfielder, got in one another's hair, but almost all players of both teams gave a helping hand. Gus Mancuso and Mickey Owen, rival catchers, were scuffling on the ground when this picture was taken, ‘with Joe Medwick (No. 7) one of those trying to Indians Whip Bosox to Take Giants, Cards Stage Battle of Century Cubs Injury Jinx Worst in Leagues Cripples Begin to Recover But Managers Still Keep Eye on Hospital Rolls New York, May 21—(7)—The crip- ples are beginning to recover, but for the first month or so of this baseball season major league managers have fcund it necessary to read hospital charts and X-ray plates, rather than batting averages, before they could name their daily lineups. Every major league club has been affected to some extent by either ill- ness’ or injury, with Chicago's Cubs easily topping the list. The roll still is growing. Joe Cronin, Boston Red Sox manager, suffered a cut cheek when a thrown ball hit him Monday. His regular catcher, Rick Ferrell, got a broken throwing hand the same afternoon. Then young Bob Feller of Cleveland, whose publicized sore arm had kept him idle since his first game, had a workout and remained in the game just long enough to walk one bats- man, The Cubs’ hospital list now has dwindled considerably. Two serious operations have been performed. Paul Dean of the Cardinals had a pece of cartilage removed from his shoulder. Jake Powell of the Yankees had his appendix removed. Golfer Wins $10,000 Suit Against Gotham’ ' New York, May 21.—(7)—With the charge that the Baker beach golf course was “negligently constructed, and operated,” George L. E. Coombs won @ $10,000 suit against New York City. He lost an eye three years ago while putting on the 18th green of the pub- lic course when Edward Apstein’s drive from the fourth tee struck him. The Brooklyn Supreme Court jury adjudged Apstein, co-defendant with the city, was not negligent. Jamestown Wins 8-7, Evens Wausau Series Minneapolis, May 21.—(7)—Rain threw its dampening effects on the Northern basel Jeague Thursday, all but one of four contests being washed out, In the lone game played Jamestown evened its series with Wau- sau by winning, 8-7, the winning run coming in the last half of the ninth inning after the lead had see sawed League Lead As Athletics, Yanks Lose the Reds, 4-1.
