eae Odds on Eagles Fall When Ship- ley Barred From Umpir- ing; Hour Is 8:30 Donkeys began pouring into Bis- marck this morning by every train in anticipation of the two evenings of donkey softball at the city ball park tonight and Friday night. The hour each evening is 8:30, the admission 25 and 10 cents. The park will be lighted. The donkey's riders tonight will be a sterling aggregation representing the Bismarck Eagles’ club and the American Legion junior baseball squad, who have been made into a softball team just for tonight. The two-day series is sponsored by Donkeys Gather - ~ At Ball Park For - Softball Tonight Kels, Hens Still Tied for Second Behind Victorious Colum- bus Red Birds | Chicago, Aug. 26—(7)—From. the way they are battling down the stretch, neither the Columbus Red Birds, Minneapolis Millers, or the Toledo Mudhens have the slightest notion of settling for anything less than the winner's $4,000 share of the American Association's $12,000 player pool. The second place club will whack the American Legion for benefit of the junior team. As afternoon wore on into evening and gametime drew near, local book- makers were kept busy by enthusias- tic sportsmen backing their favorites. ids Jump Odds that had favored the Eagles 2 to 1 in the morning shot to 10 tol up $2,000 of the purse, and the next two will get into the playoff, with a chance of meeting the powerful Newark Bears of the International league in the “Little World series.” The Birds, Millers and Hens were still covered by a half game in Thursday's standings. Columbus retained its half-game on the Legion team when news broke that D. E. Shipley would not be‘al- lowed to umpire. At subsequent announcement that he might pitch for the local aerie the odds soared to 20 to.1 and Lloyd’s of London quit taking bets. Undismayed, Shipley continued to warm up at a local riding academy. Definitely slated for mound duty for. the Eagles was Sandy McKinnon, whom Captain Shipley described as “without doubt one of the best pitch- ers loose.” ‘The Legion squad and its backers were quoted as saying McKinnon wouldn’t last an inning. Others who will perform—“play” is hardly the right word—for the Eagles will be E. M. Davis, H. E. Paul, Ed Oderman, Ernest Elness, who is said lead over Minneapolis and Toledo Wednesday night by whipping ‘the Kansas City Blues, 4-1. Minneapolis landed on Pat Mc- Laughlin and Lloyd Johnson for 14 hits, including a home run and two singles by Red Kress, to whip In- dianapolis, 10-1. Belve Bean allowed nine safeties, but had a shut-out until he eased up in the ninth and pemiked the Indians their lone ly. Toledo staged another late rally to defeat. Milwaukee, 10-6, and keep pace with the Millers. St. Paul and Louisville split a night doubleheader, the Saints the opener, 4-1, behind Art Herring's five- hit pitching, and the Colonels taking the second, 4-2.
