Seclianitteeerr : i i [RESETS RR iB “4 the leading contenders for the THE BUCKET By John Hijelle “If you want to live, you gotta eat. And if you want to fight, you gotta train.” That's the ring philosophy, al- though he probably wouldn't term it that, of Prett Farrar, colored Des Moines, Ia., heavyweight who will measure blows with Wild Bill Hassel- strom, Bismarck battler, in the main go of a 3l-round boxing card here Oct. 7. And, as far as we can find out, he lives up to his philosophy. The easiest and the quickest way of finding him is by dropping around at The Ring almost any afternoon. There you'll usually find him working out with as many sparring mates as care to step into the squared circle with him. The other afternoon we watched fhim go through several rounds with 8 group of Fort Lincoln regular army boys, several of them in one-two- three succession, And Farrar was breathing easier at the end of each setto than was his sparring partner. One of the gentlemen from Fort Lincoln, Hubert “Doc” Reed by name, gave the dusky battler as good as he took during his three rounds in the ring. Reed, who tips the beams at 160 pounds gave away a little in reach to Farrar, was second on the colored boy’s afternoon program and stepped in with the will to do damage or else. Maybe Farrar wasn’t doing all the things he might have done, but at least it looked good from the ringside. Others who felt Farrar’s punches, and gave some of their own in re- turn the same afternoon, were Rich- ard Dourgh, Walter Stevens and Dale Jasperson, all stationed at Fort Lin- coin. Twenty of Uncle Sam’s potential defenders are going through paces almost daily in The Ring, prepara- tory to the Golden Gloves tourna- ment here Nov. 18 or 19. If you'd like to pick a winner, take a tip from us and keep an‘eye on this young Reed. He Has the La ap i * LOUIS BETTER Prett Farrar has plenty of re- spect for Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis’ punching prowess, but if he had his choice of entering the ring with either Joe Louis or John Henry Lewis, colored light heavyweight champion of the world, he thinks he'd pick the Brown Bomber, other things be- ing equal. Farrar trained with the Detroit dynamiter from 1933 to 1935, during the period when he was making his , way to the top of the fistic world and when he flattened Primo Carnera and Max “Playboy” Baer. And last year, a year ago last April to be exact, Farrar fought Lewis in @ bona fide ring embroglio. So he should know whereof he speaks. ih fal ar in H F j i Eyl Fiee aH Either Minot or Jamestown should be pretty much out of the state pic- ture Saturday as fer as 1937 high school football champio: is con- cerned.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1987 SCHUMACHER, CURT DAVIS GET MOUND CALLS THURSDAY| Triumph Wednesday Puts Giants Back in Front by Full 2Y2 Games Again WAS MELTON’S 18th VICTORY Need But One More Win to Clinch Pennant e By BILL BONI (Associated Press Sports Writer) It was Hal Schumacher against Curt Davis Thursday as the Giants and the Cubs went into the grand finale of their super de luxe, pen- nant-or-nothing series at Wrigley Field. But, from the Giants’ side of the fence, at least half of the battle is won. When Cliff Melton put his six-hit vious occasions, the Giants still will go home on top of the pack by a game and a half. Then there'll be only the Dodgers, Phils and Bees left to subdue—clubs which, from past performance, the es WEDNESDAY’S STARS Cliff Melton and Johnny Mc- Carthy, Giants—Former shut out Cubs, 6-0, on six hits and didn’t walk a man; McCarthy drove in two runs and got four singles in five trips to plate. Monte Pearson and Kemp Wicker, Yankees—Each pitched. and won seven-hitter against Browns, Pear- son taking opener 4-1, and Wicker the nightcap, 11-0. Rady York, Tigers—His 33d home run, with two on base, provided winning margin in 6-4 defeat of Red Sox. Si Johnson, Cardinals—Nicked for ten hits by Dodgers but bore down with men on base to win, 4-2, Luke Sewell, White Sox—Drove in three runs in 9-3 victory over Athletics, Jimmy Deshong, Senators—Scat- tered nine Indians hits, all singles, and checked eight-inning rally to give Washington 6-4 decision. DiMaggio, Bees—His single drove home winning run in 3-2 ten- inning defeat of Pirates. Dolph Camilli, Phillies—Tripled in ninth and brought in run that whipped Reds, 3-2. Not So Tough Not that the Cubs were so tough Wednesday. Melton, the lanky, gang- ling first-year varsity. man who ranks second only to Hubbel! on Bill Terry's staff, attended to that. He attended to it so well that only two Bruins got as far as nd base, none of them got more than a single and not & one got a free ticket to i It was Melton’s eighteenth win of the year and one of his best. Behind him the resourceful Giants, with right fielder Mel Ott still holding down. third base and former third Lou Chiosza playing cen- ter field, put on a demonstra- tion of snappy fielding that caught two Cubs trying to make singles do the work of doubles and in general served as a proper setting for the Melton gem. Cannonball Cliff's performance should bolster Schumacher’s morale for Thursday's task. Until Wednes- day, the second-string Giant south- paw had had no more success against Chicago than the first-string Giant righthander. Yanks Need Single Game While the Giants pulled themselves back from the danger of sliding into second place, the Yankees moved | W: within one game of clinching their second straight American League title. Monte Pearson's 4-1 and Kemp Wicker’s 11-0 trimmings of the Browns Wednesday, despite the fact Detroit also won, left the Yankees needing only one more victory or one au defeat to make the pennant a ity. Outside of the Giants’ one-sided triumph, the National League went in for tight ball games. The Bees upset the Pirates 3-2, in ten innings behind another good job by Milt Shoffner, and the Phillies consign the Reds to the cellar and moved out themselves by winning, 8-2. The Cardinals made it eight straight de- feats for Brooklyn, this time by a 4-2 count. The Tigers, delaying the deadline of their mathematical elimination, whipped the Red Sox 6-4, as Rudy York connected for the circuit the second day in a row; the White Sox concentrated all their scoring in two innings to rout the Athletics 9-3, and Jimmy DeShong held off an eighth- inning rally by the Indians to give Washington a 6-4 decision.
