THE BUCKET By John Hielle Clement Kelley, president of.. the Bismarck Softball association, has held that office for four years... Before Kelley, Paul Hedstrom was president . . . and before him Bob Byrne, now state NYA director, headed the associa- tion . . . Byrne, the “daddy” of the softball in Bismarck, is now secretary of the state softball association. . . * oe x Bismarck, Kelley says, has more softball league teams than any other city in the state, with the possible exception of Grand Forks... he isn’t sure just how many league teams the Forks do have ... In Fargo, according to Kelley’s figures, there are 10 men’s and 8 women’s teams enrolled in leagues . . . In the Capital City there are 12 men’s and 9 women’s teams in organized play... * * * TO PORTLAND Maynard Entringer, St. Mary's high school’s basketball, football and track star, will enroll at Portland univer- sity in Portland, Orp., this fall. . . last year he capta®ed the Saints hard-court team from his center posi- tion . . . Former Minot high school athletes are going off to school too, we note .. . Clem Senechal, former principal and coach at Donnybrook high school, will direct athletics at the Fallon, Nev., high school... Don Clute will coach and teach at the Darby, Mont., high school. . . Willard and (don’t you remember him) Wesley Monnes, will enroll at the University of Nevada at Reno... In case memory doesn’t do the Job, we'll remind you that Wesley was the “Bud” Monnes who tossed the bucket that beat Bismarck in the final minute of the state basketball tour- rament here last winter... James W. Coleman, former Minot State Teachers’ college coach, is now men- tor for football and track at the Ne- vada institution ... and Wesley John- éon, also of Minot, will enroll at the Sacramento, Calif., junior college... * oe * / ATHLETIC MOGULS Bill McGraw is chairman of the St. Mary's high school athletic committee ... other members are Dr. M.

Central and St. James Academy, both Grand Forks elevens, will clash Sept. 17 in the season's curtain raiser for the city... On the same day George Wilson, new East Grand Forks coach, will take his Green Wave to Fargo for its opener . .» Wilson came to East Grand Forks from Topeka, Kan... . He is a grad- uate of Washburn college at Topeka, %as., and has had five years of coach- ing experience... ; * * * RANDOM THOUGHTS Personally, we still think the American league pennant race ‘would still be a tossup if the ‘Tigers had the power—both of- fensive and defensive—they had two years ago... Greenberg at hhis best Cochrane going strong, and Rowe, Auker, Crowder and Bridges all in peak form ... this year only Green- berg is back among the leaders... but not where he was then... ae still leven seem to ve no ping a good grip on second place Baseball Standings (By the Associated Press) AMERICAN ASSOCIATION w _ AMERICAN LEAGUE , w iNew ‘York . WILKIE Cincinnati, Sept. 7—Bob Wilkie, fleet ‘former Notre | Cards’ Manager Suggests Re- tirement, Pitcher Counters i With Trade Proposal | By SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) ‘The St. Louis Cardinals looked very much Thursday as if they were sharpening up a knife for the pur- pose of cutting off their collective nose to spite their equally collective | face. If they were really serious about suggesting a year’s retirement for Dizzy Dean, and were not just talk- ing to throw a scarce into baseball's No. 1 blower-offer, it would seem they’d be doing themselves more harm than good by shelving the greatest pitching arm in the game for that length of time, despite his eccentricities. The row start- ed by Branch Rickey with the retirement sug- gestion, and fol- lowed up by Dean's __ plaintive plea for permis- sion to trade himself, took the stage away from anything in the Dean big time Thurs- day. Playing second fiddle to the Rickey-Dean brasses were such other developments as the reappointment of “Boiling Boily” Grimes as chief um- pire baiter and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers; the continuation of the Giants’ 2% game lead in the National League race; the widening of the Yankees’ American League edge to 12 full games, and the rise of Pittsburgh to third place in the Na- tional League and Cleveland to fourth in the American. WEDNESDAY’S STARS Johnny Allen, Indians, and George Coffman and Hank Green- berg, Tigers—Allen pitched seven- hitter, fanning six for 6-1 opener victory; Coffman allowed one hit in four-inning relief trick in night- cap as Greenberg's two homers led to 10-5 victory.

Johnny McCarthy, Giante—Hit homer and drove in four runs for 9-7 win over Dodgers, ‘Would Build Morale’ The Cards may have their reasons for talking about packing Dizzy’s arm —as well as his ability to talk it:out with anyone in the game—in moth- balls for a year. These would include of course, the fact that such a move would, as Rickey described it, “act as @ tonic and build up his baseball morale as well as his arm.” But, on the other hand, Dizsy has given no evidence that his pitching warrants a year’s retirement — and when he's right, he’s somewhat bet- ee than a greenhand at fogging ‘em His- ailments of the moment, he contends, are at worst only tempor- ary. He's still one of the game's big drawing cards, as well as a piece of ivory that could return a tidy sum on the open market.
