THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE THURSDA JULY 29,1987 Legion Juniors Head ‘Auker Holds Yanks to 2 Hits As Tigers Win, 8-1 Farr Chesty as He Meets Louis Abr | White Sox Lose, So Victory ; Puts Detroit in Second Place GIANTS, CUBS VICTORS Gasless Gas House Gang Has | Won 8, Lost 13, in Cir- cuit of League By SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) Add major mysteries: What ever happened to the gas in the Gas House Gang? Except for Ducky Wucky Medwick, ‘who hasn’t changed a bit from the villian role, the rough, tough and nesty boys from the other side of the railroad tracks appear to have be- come a bunch of empty bags. Their gas is all gone. To be sure, they can still knock off those perennial pushovers, the Dodgers and Phillies, perpetual sec- ond-division lads, but when they come up against the big boys, or even against the up-and-coming Boston Bees and the aspiring Cincinnati Reds, the Gas House Gang has become just a mild breeze. In fact, without Dizzy (Sore Toe) Dean, there isn't enough pitching and pep to get a rise even out of themselves. WEDNESDAY’S STARS Frank Demaree, Cubs — Hit homer, two singles, driving in three runs in 7-5 win over Dodgers. Buddy Léwis, Senators — Hit triple, double and singie, sending two runs across, and scored three himself in 11-8 win over White Sox. Elden Auker, Tigers — Hand- cuffed Yankees with two hits for 8-1 victory. Wally Berger, Giants—Drove in three runs with homer and single in 8-4 victory over Cardinals. Peaches Devis, Reds — Fanned four and allowed nine hits to whip Bees 6-1. ¢ Ace Parker, Athletics—Drove in four runs with homer and two singles in 11-7 win over Indians. Pep Young, Pirates—Hit homer and single and drove in three runs to-down Phillies 6-4, in’ninth with bases loaded scored winning run to top Browns 5-4. In their last complete circle of the Jeague, facing every one of the other seven clubs, they have lost 13 games while winnjng eight, for a 381 per- centage, which is good cellar ball, and not much else. They won just two of the seven series—against the Dodgers and Phils. They dropped four games to the Bees and three out of four to. the Reds. Barely in 1st Division At the moment, their hold on a first division berth is as shaky as wildcat stock. They're just three games out of fifth place. ‘There was a time when for any club to spot the Cards three runs in the first inning was an easy way to com- mit baseball suicide. But not any more. ‘The Giants did it Wednesday. Cliff Melton let them pile up three runs in the opening frame, and then pro- to stop them cold with six hits the last eight innings. Mean- 1 Ott and Wally Berger belted gut homers as the Giants clubbed Lon ‘Warneke to the showers and went on to an 8-4 win. fy ‘The victory didn’t help the Giants much, however, since the Cubs clouted the Dodgers, 7-5, to hold their three- game lead on the National League Held to 2 Hits The. Yankees, already suffering from .broken-down pitching, found their’ bats shackled by the right-hand Offerings of Elden Auker and went down to'their most humiliating defeat of the year. Auker baffled them all afternoon, allowed them just two measley singles, and the Tigers came through with an 8-1 vistory. Since the White Sox were given a thorough going over by the Senators, snd lost 11-8, the victory for Detroit put the Tigers in second place, al- though still leaving the Yanks with a six-game lead. The Athletics put on some astonish- ing batting fireworks to club the Cleveland Indians, 11-7, for the sec- ond straight day. The Boston Red Sox came from -behind twice to top the Browns, 5-4. ; Peaches Davis turned in a nine- hitter and the Reds whipped the . Pep Young’s bat led the a 6-4 win over the Phillies. NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants Best Cards New York Tommy Farr, England’s heavyweight pride, presented this picture of chestiness when he appeared in the offices of the New York box- ing commission for a preliminary examination. Joe Louis, Farr's opponent in a championship bout in New York August 26, cast a critical eye on the proceedings but offered no comment.

A capacity crowd, including many Lions cluy members from Richardton and Glen Ullin, cheered the locals on to an easy victory after Dr. C. R.
