THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1987 THE BUCKET By John Bijele That St. Mary’s high school’s basketball team isn’t to be taken lightly, even by its bigger cousins, the class A schools, has been pretty well demonstrated in its six games to date. The doughty Saints, who now enjoy the benefit of tutoring by Bob Fin- negan, former University of North Dakota star, as well as that of the veteran Clem Kelley, have pushed each of the two class A quintets they have met thus far to the limit before bow- ing in defeat. In their opener against Bis- marck the Saints led the Demons right down to the finish before Glenn Hanna’s men started find- ing the range on the basket and pushed into the lead. At James- town last week they carried the battle to the highly-touted Blue- jays, outscoring the Jays by a goodly margin in the second-half —and particularly in the third quarter. Tvl take a good club to move the Saints out of the race for state class B honors, According to our way of thinking they're already almost as good as they were at tournament time Jast year. * Ke NAPOLEON TEAM TO BEAT Kelley was free in his praise of the Napoleon team after watching his boys nose out the fighting Logan county quintet Monday night. - “They're the team to beat for dis- trict five class B honors, in my opin- ion,” declared Kelley, admitting his boys were “lucky” to defeat the rangy Napoleon five even though they did play good basketball in doing it. Dutsky Schneider's winning bucket just before the final gun skidded around the hoop with no apparent destination before it finally dropped through. Last year St. Mary's defeated Steele 33 to 26 in the fifth district finals after Steele had won from Napoleon in the semi-finals. Just how strong Steele is going to be at tournament time. next March is still undeter- mined, but it’s safe to say the Na- poleon boys haven’t lost much of their JIM TURNER POSTS CIRCUIT'S LOWEST EARNED RUN MARK Hubbell Tops Won-Lost Column With 22 Victories Against Six Defeats FETTE, MELTON LEADERS Boston Duo, Giant Southpaw First Yearlings Since Alex- ander to Win 20 Games By SID FEDER New York, Dec. 22 —(#)— With all due respect to Mr. Carl Hubbell and the handy little trick he was of win- ning more ball games than anyone else, the rookies, and particularly 31-year young Jim Turner, were the cream of the National league pitching crop for 1937. The league's official flinging rec- ords, released Wednesday, showed there was pitching galore in the senior circuit. But the old timers, like Hubbell and Hal Schumacher of the pennant-winning Giants, or Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer and Lon ‘Warneke, didn’t provide the major Portion of evidence. Hubbell Is Strikeout King The three generally accepted “greatest” elbowers in the business were well represented. Hubbell, top- ping the won-lost records, showed 22 victories against six defeats for a per- centage of .733, and was the loop’s strikeout king with 159, but his earned run average slipped to 3.19 per nine-inning game, compared to his Pace-setting 2.41 of 1936. And Dizzy (remember him) Dean of the Cardinals and Van (Big Bad Boy) Mungo of the Dodgers were somewhat less than world beaters in the won-lost columns. Dizzy was about as useful as a carload of Charley- horses after July 15, and Mungo not only was finally suspended by “Boil- old fire. * * * COMETS STILL SOARING Underwood high school’s Comets, who defaeted St, Mary's 31 to 22 in the regional playoffs at Wash- burn last year for the right to ing Boily” Grimes during the cam- Paign, but wound up with a less- than-.500 average for games won.

Byron Haines and Tuffy Thompson were carried off the field with in- jured backs, Johnny Blood had a deep gash in his right leg and Ed Karpo- wich’s rib was fractured. But the Pirate office received Tues- day a letter from G. Rody Schiev, chief of the claim division denying medical expenses because the play- ers did “not meet with an injury while in the course of employment.” The Pirate office declared numerous other players had received compen- sation for injuries inflicted during a game and Martin A, Flanagan, club attorney, said he would appeal the decision to a workmen’s compensa- tion referee. Dizzy Either Very Good or ‘Terrible’ Bradenton, Fla., Dec. 22—(#)—Dizzy Dean said Tuesday the sports writers of the country “pitched a perfect game” when they tagged him the number one disappointment of the 1937 sports season. The St. Louis Cardinal right- hander was handed the somewhat doubtful honor in the annual sports poll of the Associated Press. “It just goes to show you,” he ob- served, “that Ol’ Diz doesn’t do things half way.

It was gracefully done, 197 innings, when he wasn’t arguing with Ford Frick or complaining about his sore toe, Turner worked 257 frames, Fette 259 and Melton 248, Altogether, seven pitchers were un- der the three-earned-run average for the season. Trailing fifth-place Fette were Van Mungo, at 2.91 (but with only nine wins against 11 defeats) and Danny MacFayden, Boston's third reason for making a fight of the pen- nant chase. Danny had a 2.93, With MacFayden as third man in that impressive flinging lineup, it was somewhat less than a pushover to keep those Boston Bees out of the first division. Setting the pace, Turner hurled 24 complete games, more than any other pitcher in the league. And he and Fette, along with Lee Grissom, Cincinnati's freshman “strong boy,” deadlocked for whitewashing honors, each twirling five shutonts.

WIN HIS HEART (yea HARVESTER THIS CHRISTMAS MANDAN BEVERAGE COMPANY Mandan, N. Dak. Telephone 337 To Enter Pro Ranks Oakland, Calif, Dec. 22—(#)—The parents of Don Budge, world tennis champion who wants to remain an amateur long enough to defend the Davis Cup, urged him Wednesday to turn professional and “reap some ma- terial benefit from years of hard work,” This unusual advice emanated from the family kitchen, where Mrs, ‘John Budge was doing dishes. It found the racket star on an exhibition tour of Australia, “When Donny returns home, his father's going to give him a good talk- ing to,” Mrs, Budge told an inter- viewer. “We're going to try and con- vince him that the wise thing to do would be to turn professional and reap some material benefit from years of hard work he has put into his tennis.” That decision, sports prognosticators estimate, would make a difference of $100,000 in two seasons for his bank account. ‘k, Dec. 22.—(?}—Five Mar- quette football players voted John ‘Wysocki, Villanova end, the best wing- man they faced all\ season...
