Bismarck scored 3 to 2 victory
over Linton yesterday in game
which proved lethargic, and without
much excitement.
Both Unions scores came in the

and Tony scored. Bismarck melted
two of it's three points in the second
inning with scores by Jones and
Webster and Elliott, new recurit from
futile, brought in the third score in

the first four innings and performed
creditably, although several men
made first by being struck by pitched
balls. during this time. Doc Love
went in in the fifth and lived UP ia
the record he has set for himself in
previous games by holding the num-
Der Of hits to minimum. Baum

First Is Calm
The first was a calm affair, with
Kalberer coming the nearest to scor-
ing after he gained first. stole second
and then went to third on Black
smiths sacrifice. Fuller. who was
running for Tobin, proved incau-
tous at first, and was retired.
Mohn came up in the second and
was retired at first base. Jones, Bis
marck's clouting ace, was next and
proceeded to lam out a two-bagger
Webster advanced him another and
Love brought him in. Webster got
himself to third and then came in on
Elliott's sacrifice fly. The next in
ming was unique for Linton only in
the fact that all three batters were
retired at first on assists from Sage
horn. One strikeout and two pops
were Bismarck's quota during this in
ming.

Cubs Fight for Pennant
With Young Aggregation
Eight Regulars Of McCarthy's

Average Only ~ Years

BR ALAN J. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor

New York, july 1S.--tA)-The Chi
cago Cubs, sensations Of the Ma
tional League race, are battling for
the pennant with one Of the young
est aggregations in the majors.
The eight regulars of Joe McCar-
thy's fast-moving machine outside of
the box average only 81 years. It is
coincidence that the teams seven
pitching reliables average exactly
the same. Only three Of the players.
Sparky Adams, at short, Hal Carlson,

three-cornered struggle so far. The

Cubs president, Bill Veeck, ut isn't

What is the secret of this sue
cess? Veeck unhesitatingly says it
is due to the brilliant managerial
ability Of Mccarthy, who, according
to his boss, "is a born hustler, leader
and teacher, equipped with as much
practical baseball knowledge as any
manager in the game and possessing
the knack of imparting this knowl-
ledge to his players.

1t is probably tribute to Nc
Carthy's organizing skill that the
average fan thinks of the Cubs more
as team than as a group of stars,
Yet the stars are there. Gabby
