ee THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1987 THE ‘ BUCKET By John Hjelle How Dr. Bert Nierling, now a den- tist at Jamestown, won a baseball game for Hazelton back in 1914 by Pitching nine innings of shut-out ball and then stealing his way all around the bases after getting a walk to first in the last half of the ninth frame was recalled on the genial doctor's recent visit to Napoleon, his old home town, It was in the final game of the tournament at Hazelton that year that Dr. Nierling performed his feat. Up to that time he had played with Na- poleon. But since Napoleon had lost its chance for first place and needed @ little extra cash, it was decided to “sell” the doctor to Hazelton. Which they did—for $30. Dr. Nierling drew a walk in that memorable ninth inning. Then he stole second. And third. The two batters that followed him in the line- up went down swinging, and the third was apparently well on his way to the same fate when the “doc” took things {nto his own hands. With two strikes on the batter, Dr. Nierling started for home. But Lin- ton’s catcher and _ third-baseman weren't to be caught napping and trapped Dr. Nierling in the “hot-box” ‘between third and home. Back and forth went the horsehide sphere between the catcher and the third basemen. And back and forth went the doctor, one step ahead of the ball. The two “trappers” closed in, The catcher made one final throw —and the ball hit Dr. Nierling in the back. Home he scampered with the winning score. It was the end of a perfect day for Demons to Seek Win Over _ Mandan in Last Game of Year There Armistice Da National League’s ‘Best’ Light Practice Sessions Sched- uled as Second Battle With Braves Nears Upset by Dickinson’s fighting Mid- gets in their game there last week, Bismarck high school’s Demons had two important things on their minds as Coaches Glenn Hanna and George “Shaky” Schaumberg put them through final practice sessions this week, One was to pull victory out of the bag in their last start of the season at Mandan Thursday. The other was to duplicate their early-season triumph over the fast-improving Braves. A victory over the Warriors would help restore some of the spirit knocked out of the Demon gridmen by their too-numerous defeats this fall and at the same time would prove, at least to the satisfaction of the Demons them- selves, that they don’t belong at the bottom of the state Class A stand- ings. Mandan's Braves, victors over Dick- inson, St. Mary's and Valley City this fall, thus far boast a better percent- age in the won and lost standings than do the Demons, who have won only from Mandan and St. Mary's, while tieing Dickinson. The Braves lost to Linton in their season's opener, and after that were beaten by Williston and Jamestown, in addition to Bismarck. A victory over Bismarck now would give them an even break for the season, Victors in their first two games, the Hazelton, but a dark one for Linton. O. F. Bryant, still a resident of Na- poleon, was manager of the Napoleon team and closed the “deal” that gave Dr. Nierling to the Hazeltonians. * * * THE GOOD OLD DAYS Baseball might be played on a high- er level in North Dakota in these mod- ern times than it was back in “the good old days” but there is many an old-timer who won’t admit it. They'll point out that it was all for the fun of it that the young men who are middle- ‘aged men now played baseball then. ‘They didn’t have any aspirations to become big-league baseball players. At least, few of them did.‘ It was the game itself they loved, and not the money they could get out of it. ‘Young men in a young country, they turned first to baseball for an outdoor competitive sport. They’d climb aboard the old buckboard, or handcar, or what-have-you and drive many a good mile to take on that “ancient rival,” the neighboring village. Pas- sions ran high during the game, and it was do or die for the dear old home town. But after all it was all in fun and started competitive athletics off with @ bang in North Dakota. Some of those boys who played out here for the sheer fun of it, and who still never miss a game when within decent driv- ing distance, would have looked good on anybody's ball club. How about it, old-timers? * * * promising Demons hit the down path when they lost to Valley City 6 to 0 in a fiercely contested game here Oct. 8 that wasn’t decided until the final whistle blew. Since then they have clashed with the three top-ranking elevens of the state, with the exception of Wahpe- ton, in as many successive weeks. Fargo, Minot and Jamestown in turn tripped the Capital City boys. Although a victory over the Braves in the Armistice Day fracas wouldn't boost them as high as a Mandan vic- tory would boost the Warriors, the De- mons feel that if they can turn the trick this time it won't be such a bad season after all. It will be the last game 14 of the Demons will ever play in the Bismarck colors and conse- quently they'll be out to prove their metal, Only light singal drills were in store for the squad this week as Hanna, sought to perfect his team’s attack. No practice was called Monday, Hanna confining the day's program to a dis- cussion of the whys and wherefores of the Dickinson game. ‘SUBSDIZATION, 1S MICHIGAN CHARGE Investigation Under Way, Facul- Joo Medwick ee * Medwick Honored As meer on ws etcis| OF Year Ago Not So Well Off Now Only Duke Favored to Repeat of Pennant Winners in Seven New York, Nov. 10.—(#)—Joe Med- wick, the payoff guy of the St. Louis Cardinals Gashouse Gang, has the National League’s most valuable play- er award for 1937 to add to his record enduscles” did’ all he could 0 “Muscles” dit earn the prize, He won the batting cham- Major Circuits pionship, led in hits, runs batted in and ae doubles and ted with the Giants’ Mel) New York, Nov, 10—(#)—The foot for ome run » Even 80 barely nosed out Gabby Hartnett, the|pri,creae gue of & Year a¥0_ are spirited Chicago catcher, who drew 68 3 & tough assignment votes to Joe's 70, : to stay on top of the heap.
