season. He won his first eight games
in addition to pitching Thinning
scOreless contest against Rockford.
Reynolds is % years old and is get

markable ball for Peoria.
Des Moines, Ia, June 25--Phil Coo
ney, second baseman with the Omaha
club, is the first Western Lacquer to
execute triple play unaided, accord.
ing to records available here. Cooney
gained the honor in a game with Den
yer, played in that city, when he took
line drive in the sixth inning, tag
ged a base runner who had started
from first. and then hoped onto the
second bag before another runner
could return from the trip he had
started towards third. Records show
it to be the first individual triple play
in five years in organized baseball, and
the ninth time it had been made in a
period of 80 years.

BISMARCK TAKES
TWO FROM SLOPE
BELT CLAIMANTS
Carson Twice Bites Dust Before
Big Crowds on Local Dia-
mond ~......
CHRIsTY AND COLBY
IN OLD.TIME FORM

In two of the hardest fought and
most interesting battles ever staged
on the local diamond, the Bismarck
Champs lowered the crest of the fast
Carson team by winning Saturday eve.
nings and Sunday afternoons con.
tests in the presence Of good sized
crowds.
The first game wa3 called at G:15
Saturday vening, with Christy Chris
Hanson in the box for Bismarck. Civ
en- the best of support throughout the
battle, Christy held the visitors to
nine scattered hits and two runs,
while the locals put on q little pyro'
technic display IN the eighth, when
Pike walked, went to second on Roth's
sacrifice, and came home when Gold
rick, Frankenhoff and Peacock hit
safely and were in turn scored by hits
from Williams, Christensen and
Thompson. Bismarck's run-getting
was. confined to this fateful inning,
but the four runs proved sufficient,
as Carson made the circuit but twice.
Fisher, Carson's crack twirler, work
ed a wonderful game, holding Bis.
marck scoreless until the eighth. Car
son might have scored a number of
times but for the exceptional work OF
Midget Roth, Bismarck's coming big
Lacquer, at second. Roth played the
game every minute and time and again
blocked a good chance for Carson.
Roth also connected for two safeties
at bat Jack Pike at short for the To-
calls, Goldrick, Peacock and Franken-
hoff all performed in fine shape.
Sundays Game.
Sundays game was not so exciting
as the opening, but it was a mighty
good exhibition of baseball at that.
The boys we're up on their toes all
the time. Carson led off in the first
inning, when it sent man around
the circuit on two hits. Bismarck
evened things in the second, when
Roth rOmped home on FrankenhOff' S
bingle. Carson scored again in the
third, but once more the Champs came
back, again tieing the count. With
honors even in the fifth, Goldrick and
Pike singled and both scored when
Roth drove a slashing grass-cutter at
Fitzpatrick, who aeroplaned the pill
over the catcher's head. In the eighth
the Champs drove in three more runs,
while Carson came back with three
runs in the ninth ending the contest
with the score standing to in
favor of Bismarck.
Big Bill Goldie, Bismarck's heady
pitcher, twirled remarkable ball, and
should have shut-out to his record.
GOldie looks better than ever in the
box this year, and big things are ex-
pected from him. The lightning field
ing of Pike at short and Roth at sec.
ond were features of the game. Both
are young. full of pep and in the game
every minute.
The largest crowd of the year at
tended yesterdays game. Bismarck
fans are awaking to the fact that they
again have a record breaking team,
and they are turning out the right
kind of support. j.
