Tour- rament officials expect an entry list of more than 100. Nine-hole qualifying rounds in the 27-hole medal play tourney will get under way Sunday morning at the municipal layout with 18 more holes scheduled for 1 p. m. Golfers who will be unable to qualify Sunday morning may do so Saturday afternoon, Tom Lawless, member of the tournament commit- tee, announced Friday. Flights will be formed on the basis of qualifying rounds, with the low 16 in the championship flight and 8 in all the others. Prizes will be awarded to winners and runnersup in each flight. Qualifying rounds will be included in the total medal scores. Entry fee is one dollar. A field of crack golfers from towns in the Missouri Slope area, northern South Dakota, and from as far east as Jamestown are expected to com- pete. Lawless said he looked for several entrants from Jamestown, Linton, Mott, Eureka, and Lemmon, S. D., Minot, Mandan, Dickinson, New Eng- land, and other cities. He anticipates more than 50 entries from outside Bismarck. Among outside luminaries Lawness said he thought were coming were Herman Dahl, Minot; Henry Dockter, Linton; Keva Bender, Eureka, S. D.; Lew Kirchoff and Sliv Keller, both of Lemmon, 8. D.; Dr. Hoffman, Mott; Addie Geiser, New England; Dr. F. L. Stangebye, New England, and Sumner Buck, Jamestown. Among the golfers expected to carry the Capital City’s hopes in the championship flight are Harry Rubin, Dr. R. W. Henderson, Jim Slattery, Ed Comm and several others. Slattery’s performance in winning the Dickinson Town and Country club's tournament a week ago makes him one of the prime loca) favorites. Free refreshments will be cached at the 14th hole. Huffman to Punt Against Packers Job After Good Practice Performances Chicago, Aug. 28—(}—Vernon Huff- man, one of the greatest players ever developed at Indiana, is going to do a lot of punting for the college all- stars against the Green Bay Packers next Wednesday night. The Hoosier ace, who will start at Tuffy Leemans, last year’s freshman sensation of the National Football League, looks as though he means to continue his high stepping this season as he works out with the New York Giants at Orangeburg, N. Y. First Down—Many to Go “ ¢ 3 Dogged, persistent Orrie Baldwin taced his faun-colored steed at snail’s pace twice around the diamond Fri- day night to give the noble Benevo- lent and Protective Order of Elks a 2 to 1 triumph over the Knights of Columbus galloping donkeymen in the second of Bismarck’s two-game “donkey-softball” series. Rousing cheers accompanied each of Hero Baldwin’s journeys around the four-cornered lot. In his first history-making exploit, early.in the game, he smacked a solid Gribble to short-stop. From then on it was easy for a man of his experi- ence, ‘ Mexican A firm believer in the share-the- work theory, he met his burro half way, doing his share in carrying the animal to first base. Then, while in- fielders spurred frantically to get to the ball, lieing conspicuously 10 feet from. the pitcher, he nonchalantly pa- katt around the baselines for the tally. quarterback ‘for the collegians, gave a remarkable exhibition of distance booting Friday. After watching Huff- man get away several nicely placed short kicks and then send the ball 95 yards down the field and out-of- bounds on the five-yard stripe, Head Coach Gus Dorais said he will draw the major punting job. On the 95- yard kick, the ball carried about 65 yards. Two players probably will not be used against the professional cham- pions. George Bell, Purdue center, has not recovered from a foot injury suffered early in training, and Gerry Conlee, St. Mary’s center, will be on the bench because of a nose fracture. This leaves Mike Basrak and Bud Svendsen to handle the pivot duties. oe __ | MAJOR LEAGUE | | LEADERS | o—___________«» (By the Associated Press) NATIONAL LEAGUE Batting—Medwick, Cardinals, 393; P.

ORRIE BALDWIN IS HERO AS ELKS’ DONKEY-MEN TRIUMPH the eyes of fiercely partisan spectators in stands and cars were the fancy- Giving performances. There was Dr. Priske’s little exhibi- tion while attempting to persuade streamlined Mae West (that’s what they called her) to go to first base instead of to second. Mae was stub- born, however, and continued to sec- ond, though first she humped her back a little and gave the doctor a good start toward first. Always good showmen, Tony Beer varied the spectacle by playing leap- frog with his co-operative steed while trying to beat out the toss to first- baseman Clement Kelley, and George Ferguson foot-raced his out to a dark corner of right field before climbing al Later Beer played ring-around-the- rosie with his nag trying to find out just how you do get on those things. He finally gave up when flashing heels always appeared where the ani- mal’s bead had been just a second before. Most peeved was Bob Keene, who lost all illusions concerning the game Combined efforts of the unprinci-|when his sprightly but not-to-be- Paled ‘opposing team couldn’t stop! trusted steed not only sent him soar- him from scoring the second counter late in»the fracas when he disre- garded all efforts of fumbling oppo- nents, and, aided by idiosyncracies of “defending” burros, toured the base lines without losing a step. Joe Cotter’s one tally wasn’t enough to turn the tide of battle in favor of the Knights of Columbus, even though he did dare an opposing wall of hand- waving Elks barricading the home plate to bring the marker in. Brilliant exhibitions of riding there may have been, but what really caught Capital City Gun Club Plans Handicap Shoot Plans for an added score handicap competition to be held late. next month are being made by members of the Bismarck Gun club, it was an- nounced Saturday by George Ebert, president.

Steele-Overlin Fight Has Been Postponed Seattle, Aug. 28.—() — Promoter Nate Druxman said Saturday the middleweight title fight between Champion Freddie Steele and Chal- lenger Ken Overlin would not be held August 31, as scheduled. : “The-fight definitely is not off, however,” Druxman said. “It merely will be postponed either a few days or possibly a week.

Gordon Engen took second honors in the peeved department when his long-eared mount carried him serene- ly into deep left field and then non- chalently allowed him to slide over her head. Honors as the most absent-minded, some said the most worried, player went to Bud Walsh, who ‘forgot his poor donkey and ran to first base. He was put out forthwith. —_—_________-+ | Fights Last Night | oo (By the Associated Press) New York—Emil Scholz, 190, Tony Chaves, 132, Los Angeles, stopped Govan Rhodes, 136, Augusta, Ga., (4).

Goodman to Meet | Billows in Finals | Play Over 36 Holes on Portland Course for National Ama- teur Crown Portland, Ore., Aug. 28.—()—Sat- urday was golf coronation day at the Alderwood club with the crowning of @ new National Amateur champion— either Johnny Boodman of Omaha or Ray Billows of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Johnny was a heavy favorite be- cause of his reputation and his icy disposition under fire. Goodman and 23-year-old Billows were down for a 36-hole struggle, the winner to gain the title relinquished Friday by Johnny Fischer of Cin- cinnati who lost to Billows, 6 and 5. Goodman had a narrow escape, 1 up, in a battle’ with Marvin (Bud) Ward, of Olympia, Wash. Johnny had to: travel to the last hole where he watched Ward boot a chance for a birdie, which would have squared the match. Mudhens, Millers Win to Stay Even Morton Cooper Alows Five Hits in Hurling Columbus to 3 to 0 Triumph Chicago, Aug. 28.—()—When Amer- ican Association fans talk about the Columbus Red Birds the subject usually swings to the hitting ability of young John Rizzo and Enos Slaugh- take a thing away from those Red Bird pitchers. Hurlers such as Max Macon, Bill McGee, Lanier and Johnny Chambers have been up with the lead- rs most of the season and their timely victories have kept the Birds in the Association fight. Friday night Morton Cooper, who has lost a dozen games, held Milwau- kee to five hits as the Red Birds won 3 to 0. All of the Columbus runs came in the second frame, in which Cooper helped his own cause with a single, driving in one run. He fan- ned seven Brewers. Good pitching also featured Toledo's | poston 4 to 2 win over Kansas City. Em- mett Nelson went the distance for the Hens, allowing six hits, as Branch, Stein and Moore gave up the same number for Kansas City.

Gehringer Boosts A. L. Batting Lead incre: ses Average to .386 as Medwick Slumps 7 Points During Week New York, Aug. 28.—(?)—While Ducky Medwick remained in the bat- ting doldrums, the pitching fraternity had new worry this week in the sud- den bombardment turned loose by Charley Gehringer. Medwick, although retaining the National League batting lead with a 893 mark, continued his slump and fell off seven points during the sev- en-day span ended with Friday's games. He batted less than .250 for the week, getting only 10 hits in 43 chances, and found his loop lead cut to a mere nine points over Paul Waner of the Pirates, with .384. Gehringer, on the other hand, began to look like the one American League leader who: is going to make it stick. Gehringer by hitting 14-for-33 for the week and boosting his mark eight points to .386, increased his edge to 18 points over second place. The cur- rent runner-up was Lou Gehrig, with 368. Heaviest hitting of the week, how- ever, was done by Schnozzola Lom- bardi, the Reds’ catcher, who collected hits in nine chances to boost his mark 90 points to .371, good for fourth place in the National League.
