All of the three games are scheduled as night affairs. After this Joust, with the exception of eight days, the Millers must do their fighting on enemy soil and. will be severely test- ed to maintain the pace they have been setting at home. The Donie Bush gang, in its home stay, ousted Columbus from the lead and at one time built up a three-game first place margin, the biggest held by any club since June. Columbus, which took a double bill from the third place Toledo Mudhens Sunday, has 33 games remaining on its schedule. Of this number, 25 are home tilts, giving the Red Birds a great chance to capture a sixth title. With no league contests scheduled, exhibition games occupied several as- sociation clubs Monday. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated Columbus 12 to 1 at Charleston, W. V. Eau Claire of the Northern League defeated 6t. Paul 9 to 2 and Toledo downed Cin- cinnati’s Reds 9 to 5. Britain Resigned to Louis Win Over Farr London, Aug. 17.—(?)—There’s a suspicion in Britain that maybe it’s just as well that the future of the Em- pire doesn’t depend on Tommy Farr. ‘Which is to say that, if Joe Louis mangles him Aug. 26, the Common- wealth will be braced for the shock. If it isn’t braced, it won’t be the fault of the British sports writers. ‘They have spent much time and many shillings looking at the pictures of the Louis-Jim Braddock fight, and, though generally inclined to let their patriot- ism get in the way of their judgment in decisions of their kind, they are Louis. “Nice fellow, Tommy, courageous and all that sort of thing, but he real- ly can't attack, can he?” they say.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1937 _ Crippled Bruins Face Pittsburgh With Confidence Though Come-Backing Pirates Seem to Have Indian Sign on Cubs By BILL BONI (Associated Press Sports Writer) Manager Charley Grimm, leading his stumbling but still first-place Cubs into Pittsburgh Tuesday to open & three-game series with the Pirates, believes that on Sept. 4 the Bruins will have as good a margin in the National League race as they now command—four games. Sept. 4 is the day the Cubs return to Wrigley Field, with 17 road games behind them and a balance of 21 at home and 10 away ahead. Grimm might, off the record, have put a shorter time limit on his fore- cast—until the end of this series with the Pirates and the subsequent one with the Reds, in fact. Making Race of It It’s the Giants, of course, who, in second place and bolstered by the heavy-hitting comeback of Hank Lei- ber and the spark-plugging of de- mon Dick Bartell, are making a race of it. But it's the Pirates, nine games off the pace in fourth spot, and the Reds, 20 games down in the shadows of the second division, who have been able to cage the Chicago Bear most consistently. Their latest Cub-caging feats came in the just-concluded engagements at Chicago, where the Pirates won two out of three and the Reds three out of four. Between them, they forced Grimm to toss 20 pitchers into sev- en games. Only one, Clay Bryant, managed to go the route, pitching a five-hitter that beat the Buccaneers. The Pirates, sneaking back out of a mid-season slump and breathing Wills and Kleins Will Meet Soon With City | Softball Title at Stake Final City League Standings Announced by Eddie Spriggs, Head Scorer , winners of the: first and second half of the 's play, res- pectively, in the City league, will meet soon in a series for the city championship, Eddie Spriggs, head scorer for the Bismarck Softball as- sociation, announced Tuesday.

Final averages reveal that R. Yeas- ley of Klein’s Toggery paced the en- tire City league in batting, hitting at a fast 417 clip during the season. Right behind him was McGuiness, aiso of Klein’s, with 412. Averages of those who had batted less than 10 times were not computed.

FINAL STANDINGS, CITY LEAGUE Standings hard on the necks of the third-place |K. © Cardinals, are the only club to hold an edge on the Cubs over the season, having won eight of 14 games. The Reds are the only club to hold the Grimm (grim if you prefer) crew even, at six-all. ‘ Don’t Meet Cards From the Giants, to be met twice on this trip, and the Dodgers, with whom three games are scheduled, the Cubs have won 11 of 17; from ‘the Phils, whom they play twice, 11 of 18; from the Bees, to be faced three times, 11 of 16, and from the Cards, whom, much to their disappointment, they don’t play at all this time around, they have won 10 out of 12. The gradual resuscitation of the more recent cripples, including Bill Lee, serves to encourage Grimm. The fact that three tussles with the Pi- rates are to be followed by four in three days, including a night game and a Sunday doubleheader, with the Reds, is hardly an alluring prospect. The Cubs carried into action a three-game losing streak, the Pirates a three-game winning streak. © Elsewhere along the big league the Dodgers were at home to the Phils, the Cards were at Cincinnati, the .American league-leading Yanks game string, in a doubleheader, the Red Sox were at Philadelphia, the Tigers at Chicago, and the Indians at &t.
