6 SOx Bees’ Bargain-Basement Pitch- ers Win Double Bill From Pirates GIANTS BLANK CUBS Boston Nationals, in 8th Place | June 27, Have Won 22 of 30 Starts By SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) ‘They were still chasing after the Cubs on the National League merry- go-round Monday, but the brass ring appeared to be exclusively in posses- sion of Boston's believe-it-or-not THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JULY 26, 1987 | ——<—uum—-< | Yank Infielder ———— orien Bees. With the National League's west- | ern and the American League's ern divisions heading home again after an up-and-down swing through the rival sectors, the Bees were chuck- ling up their eollective sleeve over a pitching staff that came out of no- where and is pure poison to the rest of the senior circuit. SUNDAY’S STARS Lefty Grove, Red Sox—Stopped Indians with two hits for six in- nings for 4-1 win. Harry Gumbert, Giants—Blank- ed Cubs, 5-0, with six hits. Gerry Walker, Tigers—Hit homer and singled, driving in four runs in 12-9 win over Athletics. Chick Hafey, Reds and Lefty Lamaster and Dolph Camilli, Phil- Hes—Hafey hit homer with bases loaded and double, driving in five runs in 13-0 opener victory; La- master fanned ten and allowed six hits while Camilli hit homer, double and drove in four runs in 7-3 nightcap win. Bill Dickey, Yankees and Monte Stratton, White Sox—Dickey's two homers won opener, 12-11; Strat- ton allowed eight hits, fanned five to win nightcap, : Tom Winsett, Dodgers—His 11th inning homer with two aboard downed Cardinals, 6-5, in opener. Joe Kuhel and Jonathan Stone, Senators—Former hit homer, three triples, driving in four runs in 16- 10 opener win over Browns; Stone had homer, double, two singles, batting in four runs in 15-5 night- cap devision. Guy Bush and Tony Cuccinello, Bees—Former stopped Pirates with five hits for 5-2 opener win; Cuc- cinello hit two doubles and single in 7-5 nightcap victory. And the payoff is that although the Bees’ big four flingers are worth their weight in pound sterling right now, they didn’t cost‘ wily old Bob Quinn and cagy Bill McKechnie much more than enough to keep a Sunday crowd in hot dogs. Hurlers Came Cheap Danny MacSayden landed in Bos- ton on waivers. Every other club gave up on old Guy Bush. Lou Fette and Jim Turner, a couple of 30-year- old rookies, couldn’t have cost much to bring up from the minors this year, at an age when most others are on the way down again. Yet, this quartet, aided by a couple of other “cheap” assistants, such as Johnny Lanning and Garbo Gabler, and without the backing of any kind ot batting punch, have burned up the loop in a drive that has skyrocketed the Bees from eighth place on June 27 to a spot where they're flirting with the first division at the present writing. They have won 22 of 30 starts, have allowed but 81 runs in 270 innings, and have a collective earned-run average that should make the Mathewsons and the Waddels turn over in their graves. They climaxed their winning spree Sunday by topping the Pittsburgh Pi- rates in both ends of a doubleheader, 5-2 and 7-5, with Bush and Fette do- ing the work. The wins stretched their victory streak to seven straight over the high and mighty Gumbert’s six-hit elbowing. This defeat sliced the Cubs’ lead to two games. At the same time, the Yankees ‘wound up their western whirl by Splitting with the Chicago White Sox, thereby dropping their first series | Chic since June 7. They won the first game, 12-11, on Bill Dickey’s two homers, but were nipped in the night- cap, 7-6, despite a pair of round-trip belts by young Tommy Henrich, all of which left them with a five-game lead in the American League. ‘Washington's Senators knocked the ears off seven St. Louis Browns’ pitchers for a twin win, 16-10 and 15-5. Lefty Grove hurled a two-hit- ter as the Red Sox socked the In- dians, 4-1, in a single game cut to dive innings by rain, and the Detroit ‘Tigers banged out four homers to whip the Athletics, 12-9, as their tilt washed out in: six The Reds split with the’ Phillies, the second geme, 7-3, after the opener, 13-3. NATIONAL LEAGUE Whip pal, itt, Hig peri | site Although hitting considerably be- low his .319 of 1936, Red Rolfe, shown spearing a line drive, generally is considered the finest third baseman in baseball. Rolfe bats second in the Yankees murderers row, and only Joe DiMaggio and Hank Greenberg in the American League top him in runs scored. The Dartmouth product is just one more reason why the New York Club is making another run- away of the race, —————— | Cochrane Ready | To Resume Job Detroit, July 2-—()—Gordon Stan- ley (Mickey) Cochrane—the “fight- ing Mike” of Detroit's Tigers—got ly Monday to take up his old/s¢ paul .. managing job where he left off two] Biaeholder, months ago.

The Brewers swept a double bill from St. Paul Sunday, George Blae- holder winning his ninth game as the Brewers took the opener, 11-7, and Forrest Pressnell accounting for his 12th victory as the champions cap- tured the finale, 6-5. Columbus, which meets the all- star aggregation Tuesday night at Columbus, divided a double bill with Louisville, enabling the Colonels to capture the series, three games to two. The first game score was 11-10 in ‘favor of Louisville, with Columbus taking a six-inning nightcap, 7-3. Bob (Lefty) Logan allowed only six hits as ‘Indianapolis edged out Toledo, 4-3. Minneapolis’ league-leading Millers were nipped, 10-9, by Kansas City, which scored four runs in the ninth, in the first game of a double bill. Then the Kels came back to take the nightcap, 1-0, behind five-hit pitch- ing by Walt Tauscher. Taylor’s slow roller to Marshall scored.

Cain Downs Nell Croonquist, 4-2 nTourneyFinals Breezy Point, Minn.; July 26.—(#)— Neil Croonquist of Bismarck, N. D. who this season has entered a cam paign to capture links honors in Min- nesote, was nosed out of his second straight title Sunday, after reaching the final round of play. Croonquist, who succumbed to Bobby Campbell in the recent state amteur finals in Minneapolis, was defeated Sunday by Maurice Cain of Wahpeton, N. D., 4 and 2, in ‘the finals of the 14th annual Breezy Point event, In contrast to Croonquist’s inabil- ity to capture a championship, it was the third event won by Cain. Prior to the Breezy Point tournament, Cain had won the Centra} Minnesota tour- nament and the Breezy Point Fourth of July event. It was sweet revenge for Cain since Croonquist a year ago had defeated him in the North Dakota state tournament. In the semi-finals Croonquist elim- inated Bob Shay of Minneapolis, 1 up, while Cain trimmed John Buck of Detroit Lakes, 2 and 1. Croonquist fired a 33 over the first nine holes of his match with Deeble Saturday to be six up on the Minne- apolis entrant when rain halted play. Saturday morning Croonquist beat Otis Dypwick of Breezy Point 2 and 1 after being 3 down at the end of six holes. Cain eliminated Bismarck’s other contestant in the championship flight, Ed Cox, 2 and 1, in a first round match. The Wahpeton youth then went on to defeat Palmer Kise of Redwood Falls, Minn., in one of the day's biggest upsets. Shay won his way into the semi- finals with a victory over Ade Simon- sen, Breezy Point. Expect Many Entries At Fargo D-Ball Meet Fargo, N.
