mond, Slonicker ,bcsting B0ardman in
a pitchers battle. All scoring was
done in the sixth and ninth innings.
Slonickcr pitched . heady game
throughout, allowing six hits but
keeping them we'll scattered. Board
man allowed but four hits, and sent
II men down by the strikeout route.
Slonickcr whitfield nine, but his nerve
and hcadwork and his refusal to get
ratified more than once kept the game
from going to the jolly bow-wows.
Scores In Sixth
Bismarck's scoring was done in the
sixth inning. Fuller hit safely, went
to second on Sagchorn's neat sacri-
flee and scored on Heidt's hit. Heidi,
who has been playing during the sum-
mcr with the Mandan club and was
borrowed to replace Albertson at
third base, reached second on q
passed ball, went to third when Gar

The All Stars got their lone tally

hit.
Turtle Lake Next Sunday
Next week the All Stars play Turtle
Lake with Gcssellschen on the mound
for the visitors. Jimmy Duncan of
GAINESVILLE has been engaged to
throw the twisters for the All Stars.
A tight battle is anticipated.
Yesterdays game at the penitcn-
tiary closes the season for the Bis
marck city team. according to Man
ager N. o. Churchill. A couple OF
team members arc unablc to play any
more this year because of injuries,
while others have left the city to take
positions elsewhere, and consequent
~ tho team has been disbanded.
The Bismarck team has set an en-
viable record this year, being an all
home aggregation. Except for one
or two games early in the season no
outside players have been hired and
the local players have participated
for whatever might be left in the
treasury at the close of the season.
The All Stars had hoped for a
three-game series with the city team
the second game to be played Labor
Day. but Manager Churchill says that
will be impossible.
The box score of yesterdays game

capacity for trickery.
Tunney was unable to belt Car
penticr another solid blow until
near the close of the fourteenth
round, when he shot a crushing left
hand into the invaders liver. (Tun-
ney's favoritc punch, by the way.)
Carpenter dropped to the floor and
began to writhe and squirm. Before
Griffin could start count or before
the voluble Dcscamps, handling Car
pentier. could register his ever
ready claim Of foul, the bell gonged.
Carpenter came out for the fif-
teenth but was not even able to
stand erect and Griffin led him back
to his corner. Thus it was that the
ringside historians wrote in the rec
ord books that Tunney had won iron,
Europc's most celebrated fighter in
Is rounds by knockout.

"Shc's badly panied and awfully

Kane BY now was standing at the
foot Of the board. without another
word he jcrked the sheet away. There
was nothing wrong with either of
Carpcntier's ankles. There WAS no
trace Of injury and no swelling what

This incident had an important
bearing on Tunncy's fight against
Carpenter some weeks later.
For eight rounds Tunney. showing
fine form with left jab. had led on
points. Carpenter showed nothing
until the ninth, when he launched an
energetic offensive that won him the
round hut left him tired and body
weary at the finish.
Carpenter Hits the Canvas
This was what TNnney had been
waiting for. When the tenth start
ed he began to fire his heavy punches,
deciding that the time had come to
put over the knockou. and make the
ballyboo good.

Dempsey's heaviest punches some

He has tremendous power concealed

BY JOE WILLIAMS
The first big shot"-as the boys
call 'em-in Gene Tunneys ring lie
was his battle with Georges Carpen-
tier, the Frenchman. This was the
first Of series Of engagements con-
ceived by the shrewd Billy Gibson 20
provide il ballyhoo that would pro-
woke Il match between Tunney and
the champion.
Up to this point Tdnney had no
fighting background. He hadn't whip
ned Il big "name." There was no
successful exploit IN his record by
which IA favorite comparison with the
outstanding stars Of the ring could
be made. All his victims had been
s...all-fry.
Gibson was quick to sense the ne
cessity of building ii ballyhoo about
the muscular shoulders of his soldier
fighter. Gibsons long association
with the gullible fight public had
taught him that this was even more
essential than ability.
Carpenter returned to America IN
the summer of 1924. Jack Carley and
Eddie Kane had persuaded him to ae-
cept $4,000 for l0round no-dcci-
sion fight with Tommy Gibbons at
Michigan City, Ind. 1t was to be the
Frcnchman's first fight in the states
since his four-round knockout by
Dempsey in 1921.
Gibson preferred to have the first
shot at Carpenter, but when this was
seen to be impossible, he agreed to
Il later meeting 1T Is rounds to de-
cison ut the New York Polo Grounds.
After all, getting the Frog after
Gibbons may be Il lucky break for US,
Gibson remarked to Tunney. "lf we
can stop him quicker than Gibbons
our ballyhoo will be greater than
ever"
Well. Gibbons didn't stop carren
tier, although | will always believe he
could had he tried earnestly enough.
Gibbons had him out in the third
round but neglected to apply the fin

Turtle Lake baseball fans. appar-
emily not satisfied with the final out
scomc of the Bismarck Turtle Lake
game played at Bismarck week ago
Sunday. have suggested a three-gam
series between the two teams. all
games to be played on neutral bat
tlcfield, according to the current is
sue of the Mclean County Journal
published at Turtle Lake.
The claim is made that the score of
tho August % game. which was won
by Bismarck, = to |. after 10 innings
of play. is no indication Of the brand
Of baseball played by the Lakcrs, and
fans from Mclean county crave an
other chance for their team. The
game which Bismarck won in an extra
inning followed one Of the week be-
fore between the same teams which
went 1G innings to scoreiess tie.
Series impossible
Although no definite request has
been made to officials Of the Bis
marck club for such series. Manager
n. q. Churchill stated today that such
a series would now be out of the
question as the season is closed SO
for rs the Bismarck team is con-
cerncd. One or two of tho Bismarck
players are suffering from injuries
received in recent games and others
have left the city. so that the team
has been forced to dsband.
The following is the editorial APP
p0aring in the Mclean County Jour.
nal:
Turtle Lake was at the small
end of 2 to l score ut the end
Of the tenth inning in the game
with Bismarck. The score. how
ever. is no indication of the brand
of baseball exhibited by the To-
cal men, who had the odds against
them. playing on the Bismarck
playground.
The Lakcrs' catcher, . Lienhart.
played the full game. suffering
from very severely bruised
thumb. This proved very bene-
cial to the Capital City crew
as it allowed them run in the
fourth which they did not earn.
Turtle Lake scored a run on
straight baseball in the eight.
which was the only earned run Of
the two teams in the ten innings
played. Bismarck stole their
second run in the tenth when
Olson, second baseman for the
Lakers, scratched.
As result Of the game some Of
the Bismarck ball boys are un-
der the impression that they are
really g0od-some of the local
fans would like to see what would
be left Of them if they would
