| i * ORGANZATION OF NEW DAKOTA LOOP BRING CONSIDERED Than - City Can Stand, Breitback Declares SIX TEAM LEAGUE PLANNED ” Ray. Dohn, Independent Barn- storming Operator, May Take Over Colts A. J. Breitbach, Jamestown base- hall association director, declared Gaturday the “for sale” sign was out on his Jimmie club and a deal was being consummated to “sell the out- fit lock, stock and barrel.” “The Jamestown club, 1936 pen- nant winners, are through in the Northern League this year,” he as- serted. “We are organizing the Da- kota league for closer baseball com- petition between six North Dakota cities.” Breitbach said he had been “dick- ering” with Roy L. Dohn, Musca- tine, Ia., operator of several inde- pendent barnstorming nines, and that the “deal is virtually closed.” Dohn has a 10-day option to take the works, he added. * “We are selling our franchise back to the Northern league because a $12,000 annual budget is greater than Jamestown can stand,” he declared. Play Some Class Ball Breitbach explained his association ‘was more interested in @ North Da- kota-organized baseball league for greater competition within the state, playing the same class of ball as the Northern League. Jamestown fans are “back of an organized baseball team,” the di- rector declared, adding he hoped the new Dakota league would be under way in July. This league will give Junior Legion baseball boys a chance ‘to go up in the game. Without an organized association they will prob- ably never have a chance to climb, he asserted. Breitbach said he was “practically essured” Minot, Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Valley City, Bismarck and Jamestown, would join the new league as soon as organization work could be started, “The Dakota league will mean shorter travel trips with less ex- pense than in the Northern League, closer. competition, greater state in- terest and opportunities for the youngsters starting out,” he sum- jarized 3 m ; Breitbach said he expected a “de- finite answer” from Dohn before dune 14 to spell the fate of the Jamestown club, Colts Win as Twins Lose Game to Duluth Minneapolis, June 5—(?)—‘“Soup” Minneapolis youth and turned in another stellar perform- ence for Eau Claire Friday, as his mates pounded the ball hard to en- able to chalk up an 18 to 3 vic- the league leading Crooks- ; Kau Claire clinched its victory by pushing over a total of 12 runs in ‘the ‘first, inning.

George Brewers, Holdjng Slight Per- centage Margin, Are Pushed by Hens, Millers Chicago, June ‘ 5.—(?)—Presaging one of the hottest American Associa- tion pennant fights in récent seasons, three clubs were virtually tied for the circuit leadership Saturday. Milwaukee's faltering Brewers, who have lost 11 straight games; were at the top with a percentage of 561, only three points above the surprising To- ledo Mudhens. Minneapolis, tech- nically the third place club, was only two points behind Toledo. Milwaukee's scheduled contest Fri- day with Toledo was postponed be- cause of wet grounds, while a second night game postponement was the Kansas City-Columbus scheduled tilt. | rouisville In one of the two afternoon games, Minneapolis gained in the standings by trimming Indianapolis 4 to 3, with Red Kress’ 12th homer of the cam- paign breaking up a mound duel be- tween Charley Wagner of the Millers and the Indians’ Pat McLaughlin. Wagner Is Effective Wagner, after being pounded for four hits and two runs in the first in- ning, pitched effectively the remaind- ex of the route, allowing but four more hits and one more run for his sixth win of the season. Louisville, after losing two games, gave St. Paul a 3 to 1 licking behind steady, nine hit pitching by Buck Mar- row. A triple by Bill Norman, scor- ing Henry Sinbacher, produced the lone Saint marker. Italo Chelini, re- cently sent back by Chicago's White Sox, allowed only seven hits to Col- but five hits to the hard Pirates. . Led by Chet Wieczorek, who had hree doubles and:a single in five times at bat for half his team’s hits, nosed out Superior 7 to 6. ‘Wausau defeated Winnipeg 9 to 7 fn the other league contest. Games Saturday are Jamestown at ith, Fargo-Moorhead at Superior, innipeg at Eau Claire, and Crooks- Yon at Wausau.

He had driven in 49 runs and his 14 doubles had given him a tie for the lead in the two-base hit race. He had hit 11 homers and his healthy ‘342 batting average was good enough for ninth place in the chase for the hitting title. Johnny Rizzo of Columbus, led in batting with an average of 409 for 42 games. In second place was Boyle of Kansas City, with .384, while Gil the Kansas City second sacker, was third with 361. Reynolds of Minneapolis, had made the most hits, 68, and his 116 total bases led that department. He also had smacked 14 doubles for a tie with Kress and Lin Storti of Mil- waukee. Lynn King of Columbus had stolen the moét bases, 16. i Minneapolis continued to lead the team batting race, with 313. Mile waukee was out in front in the team field with .979. In the race for pitching honors, Jim Peterson of Louisville had won three and lost none and Lanier of Columbus won two and has been un- beaten, as has Gibbs of Kansas City.
