Judge Landis and the big league presidents met in Washing- ton the other day and, in effect, told or fans to mind their own business; t they'd run baseball. « How right the late Barney Dreyfuss was when he said, “Baseball succeeds spite of those at its head.” Charley Ebbets’ famous remark of & quarter of a centry. ago, “Baseball is but in its infancy,” still holds good insofar as the now $50,000,000 indus- try’s relations with the people are con- cerned. I understand that depriving the trade of any influence in the selec- tions was the idea of Ford Frick, president of the National League. managers didn’t pay much attention to the fans anyway. They played just about whom they pleased. | Strength of the teams made little difference. The All-Star game was cut out to be a spectacle. ‘The brain child of a Chicago sports editor, it was meant to be the dream game of those who pay the freight. Every addict visions himself a man- ager at one time or another. The dream game was designed to give him chance to satisfy to some extent that ambition once year. jucted by newspapers country.

Landis and the club presidents would ‘have been far wiser had they improved and regulated the system and given the fans sway. Indeed, the suggestion that fans be elected as managers wasn’t a bad one. The All-Star game was meant to be the one game played strictly for the main objective of Messrs. Landis, Frick, and Will Harridge. Henceforth the dream game will lack the impetus previously provided by ballots running in newspapers for weeks in advance. There is certain to bea decline in national interest though probably enough will remain to pack the Washington park, July 7. The point is that the thousands who make professional baseball possible have been denied the opportunity of ps Perras their ‘preferences. Prick, and Herridge seem- ingly resented a proprietary attitude on the part of the patrons sought in every other line, If any additional evidence that base- ball is a great game were required, you only would have to point to,the Laser marches steadily on with leadership it gets from the ‘Three Diamond Dukes. Bob Olin to Seek to Regain Title Tonight St. Louis, June 3—(#)—Bob Olin, a rebuilt job, will seek to regain the world light heavyweight boxing championship when he meets John Henry Lewis in a 15-round bout here tonight, and memory of the courage- ous stand of Olin in his losing bat- tle with Lewis 17 months ago, more than expectation of seeing the New Yorker regain the crown, was ex- pected to lure more than 12,000 fans to the ar€na, ‘ By Williams WELL, START TH’ SCRAP PILE BACK THIS WAy— TH’ NEIGHBORS WILL BE THINKIN’ IT'S THEIRS, IF Mungo's Win Over Cards Puts Dodgers Within Half Game of Third Place (By The Associated Press) The aftermath of Dizzy Dean's suspension by National League prexy Ford Frick was the prime piece of business on Thursday's baseball agenda. . But, while Dean was being banned and refusing to sign any and all apologies Wednesday, three other. old-established firms and two new ones were making potent bids for recognition on a basis of services rendered, rather than relations severed, iv The trio of veterans who passed new milestones of effectiveness were, in the order of their teams’ stand- ing: Darrell Elijah (Cy) Blanton, Charley Ruffing and Van Lingle Mungo. Blanton pitched his second shut- out in downing the Boston Bees 2-0, and keeping the Pirates on top of the national heap; Ruffing, got his fourth straight victory in a 17-hit, 8-4 «shellaking of the Indians to stretch the Yankees’ American League margin to four games, and Mungo, big Brooklyn righthander who pitched the Dodgers to within a half-game of the Cards by halting ‘St. Louls 6-2. WEDNESDAY’S STARS Cy Blanton, Pirates—Held Bees to six hits and fanned six in scor- ing sixth victory 2-0, for third shut- out of season. George Tebbetts, Tigers—His home run with two on base in eleventh gave Detroit 11-8 decision over Senators. Ernie Lombardi, Reds—Home run and single drove in four runs in 8-4 setback of Phillies. Van Mungo and Heinie Manush, Dodgers—Mungo's seven-hit, seven- strikeout pitching stopped Card- inals 6-2; Manush paced winning attack with two doubles and two singles for perfect day at plate. Charley Root, Cubs—Struck out pinch-hitter Sam Leslie in ninth with tieing and winning runs on base to run Chicago winning streak to seven in 2-1 defeat of Giants, Red Ruffing, Yankees—Won fourth straight game with seven- hit, 8-4 trimming of Indians, Neweomers Do Well The newcomers clamoring for rec- cognition after varingly brief spans of’ service also belong in baseball's feattery division. One is lefty: Clyde Shoun, 22-year-old Chicago Cub re- cruit, whose 2-1 victory over the Giants was his fourth of the year and the Cubs’ seventh straight, and George Robert Tebbetts, the Tigers’ chunky third-string catcher whose eleventh-inning homer with two on gave Detroit an 11-8 verdict over the Senators. . Blanton and Mungo went along al- most stride for stride. The Pirate ace gave up six hits and struck out seven in notching his seventh. But these two, and Ruffing, who has won every game he’s pitched since maki his holdout-delayed start on May 16, are major. leaguers of established reputation and ability. Shoun, on the other hand, was with Birmingham» of the Southern Asso- ciation last season while Tebetts, ex- cept for the last ten games of the season, spent all-of the 1936 cam- paign with Beaumont of the Texas THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1987 ce at Frick in Face of Susp ension Blanton, Ruffing, g re Major League Show With Youngsters BRADDOCK-SCHMELING BATTLE |Hens Beat Brews | IS SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT} To Slice Margin German Ready to Weigh in at Garden, But Champion Will Be in Michigan New York, June 3—()—What is sometimes laughingly manly art of self-defense is ready for @ fantasy that might have sprung from the pen of Thomas De Quincey or Edgar Allan Poe. Add to a_ bewildered challenger, Max Schmeling, a harried boxing commission representing the sov- ereign state of New York and an unconcerned champion, Jim Brad- dock, who is industriously training for a bout with Joe Louis, and you have the group that has, with the help of a legal error, put heavy- weight boxing on queer street. Tonight, under the aegis of the state commission, Schmeling and Braddock are die to box 15 rounds for the championship of the world. Chief flaw is that the champion will be at Grand Beach, Mich., a good piece from the Madison Square Garden bowl, in defiance of the Garden and his contract with it for 8 bout with Schmeling. Herr Schmeling has trained faith- fully. He is slated to appear at the commission offices Thursday, to weigh in. The champion also will step on the scales—at Grand Beach where he: is paring some of the avoirdupois from his portly frame:in preparation for his go with Louis at Chicago, June 22. Braddock’s non-appearance leaves the commission several alternatives. Either it can suspend the champion or vacate his title.

Some of the papers are putting the blast under Messrs, Landis, Frick’ and Harridge for taking the selection of the all-star players out of the hands of the fans.
