BISMARCK CLUB
Ball Park Property to Be Pur
chased by Fans For Munich:
pal Playground
BOOSTER DAY Is PLANNED
Turtle Lake Unable to Accept
Homecoming Day Date
Others Sought

Neil Churchill was elected man.
ager and Kelly Simonson named
secretary-treasurcr of the Bismarck
Baseball club at general meeting
of ball players and fans in the Asso-
citation of Commerce chambers last
night.
The first regular squad drill has
been called for Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock and every ball hawk in the
city is urged to don his uniform and
report for practice at the ball park
just south of the United States
Weather bureau.
When Bismarck plays it's 1928
Homecoming game on Sunday, May
20, the club will be performing on
its own diamond, purchase Of which
from John A. Larson, the present
owner, will be made sometime next
week.
Five committees of interested ball
fans from the Association of Com
merce, Elks, Rotary, Lions and
Kiwanis clubs have been named by
the respective organizations to trans
act the ball park purchase.
The ball park in turn will be
turned over to the Bismarck Park
Board to be used as a municipal ball
diamond and playground.
For the first time in a number of
years, merchants of the city will not
be solicited for funds to start the
ball club off with full treasury.
Replacing the old solicitation
method of raising money for the pur-
chase of uniforms, balls, bats and
other diamond equipmet, q Booster
Day will be staged and every fan
in the city will be asked to buy q
ticket.
No definite date has been set for
the first Booster Day but Neil Chur.
chill said today that it would be held
early in the season so that the fans
could get a good look at the crack
aggregation of players that has been
banded together.
Turtle Lake will not be able TO
accept Bismarck's invitation to play
on the Homecoming Day game,
Churchill announced today. Turtle
Lake, this year, is hiring a famous
colored battery from St. Louis and
the dusky duo will not arrive before
May 20.
Churchill is busy dickering and
scouting around for the best ball
club in this part of the country to
start the season with the proverbial
bang. Many central North Dakota
clubs have written asking for the
date but Churchill will not schedule
q team until he is confident that it
will offer the Bismarck club plenty
Of competition.

Americas Greatest Golf Pro

Moor Park, England, April 2S.-
lAP) - Playing phenomenal golf,
Archie Compston, British profess

their 72-hole match for ESQ, beat
ing him, on the first hole Of their
fourth round today, l8 up and II to
play.
Compston. after his magnificent
playing Of yesterday. on the first SO
holes which left him Ia up, res lmed
his winning stride this morning and
at the end of the third round was 10
up. Going into the fourth round he
needed only half and this he got,
the 55th hole being halved in As.
Although Compston pu'- the fin
ishing touch to Hagen on the first
hole after lunch, the American star
struggled to the very last. His Is
foot putt for birdie on the 65th
hole banged against the lack Of the
cup and then bounced out stopping
inches away. Compston's long putt
was six inches short.
"You'll have to sink it, Archie, -
said Hagen laughingly. Hagen then
rolled his ball in and Com pston fol-
lowed, both men getting ~. ~
The gallery gave Hagsn . burst
of applause for his dying effort with
the putter which had almost kept
the match alive although Compston's
lead going into the last round was
so huge that It was merely . matter
of time before the match would end.
Hagen congratulated the British
player on the brilliant playing he
had displayed and the two men then
continued playing Ill bye holes a.
an exhibition match.
Hagen's doom was sealed this
morning when Compston picked UP
four more holes on him. Neverthe-
less he went to the practice green
after lunch with . new putter and
tried to run down long ones until
called to the tee where Compston
awaited him. Then to show . flash
Of his fighting spirit, Hagen out
drove Compston on the last hole, one
of the few times Of the match.
"Archie, you played magnificent
ly," said Hagen gallant in defeat.
"I'll try to retrieve my reputation
at Sandwich" said Hagen later. II
am going there for . weeks solid
practice" Hagen only arrived in
England Wednesday and golfine
followers feel that a. soon a. he b.
comes adjusted he will make . bet

INDIANS And
~
ROBINS TAKE
LEAGUE LEAD
Idle Giants and Yankees Watch
Opponents Slip Into
First Places
(By The Associated Press)

A combination Of adverse weather
and fortuitous hitting resulted in
new leaders being at the top Of both
major leagues today.
The weather was adverse in 80
far as it concerned New York's
Giants and Yankees, both Of whom
were forced to remain idle yester-
day and see themselves shunted in
to second place in their respective
league standings.
The opportune hitting was done
by Brooklyn and Cleveland and en-
abled the Robins to Dust the Giants
from the National league crest
while the Indians were doing the
same thing to Babe Ruth and COM
pany in the American.
Allows Only Three Hits
Jumbo Jim" Elliott gave up only
three hits in Brooklyn's 8 to 0 VIC
tory over the Boston Braves at the
Hub. Greenfield and Morrison were
nicked for 10 safe blows, including
home runs by Bissonette, Riconda
and Henline. These circuit drives,
accounting for six Of the Dodgers
runs, oil landed in the new left field
bleachers at Braves field which has
become somewhat of q paradise for
the boys who hit them into the air
but fairly fair. Hornsby and Burrus
returned to the Braves lineup after
being out for q day with bad colds,
but their presence had no effect on
the final result.
George Uhle registered his fourth
straight win Of the season as the
Indians routed Detroit at Cleveland,
10 to 6. The Tigers hit Uhle hard
in the first inning, scoring five runs,
but the Indians came back with
seven in the second and third. Uhle
held the Tigers in hand then until
the ninth when Hargrave hit . home
run. With two out Uhle was re-
moved and Bayne finished the game.
White Sox Easily Beaten
AT st. Louis, the Browns frolicked
to Z 14-5 verdict over the Chicago
White Sox. Sam Gray turned in his
fourth victory in five starts for the
Browns, holding the Sox scoreless
until the ninth when IN error and
six straight hits gave them five tall
lies. Every Brown got one hit at
least, Manush contributing . homer
to the cause.
The Chicago Cubs fell victim on
their home lot to Jess Haines and
the st. Louis Cardinals, to 2.
Haines allowed nine hits but kept
them scattered. Seven Cubs expired
on strikes. Toporcer and Andy
High were in the Cardinal infield in
plsce Of Dottomley and HON, who
are suffering from slight attacks of
influenza.
Rain caused postponement of the
Nstional league games between Gin
cinnati and Pittsburgh, and Philadel-
phis and New York q well as Of the
Wilmington Philadelphia game in
tho American. The Yankees and
Boston Red Sox decided it was too
cold to play 1T New York.

Washington, April %. - Coli
strokes are the vitality important
weapons of the game, but strokes
alone do not make champions. This
is q generally accepted fact among
the theorists and the lack of another
essential quality is frequently heard
in the expression-"he hasn't the
competitive temperament"
Others say "he would be q great
player If he didn't have nerves." or
"he would be q champion if he had
any CUTS"
Those things called nerves, which
throw around the game Of golf so
many ethics Of conduct on tho part
Of competitors and spectators, are
an essential part Of the game.
II have found" Roland Mackenzie
says, shat there are two kinds Of
nerve maladies. One is the lack of
the control Of nerves, which rattles
. player, and the other is the lack
Of nerves which renders q player
immune to inspiration and prevents
him from rising to the heights Of
efficiency under the stimulation Of
situations"
Nerves Are Essential
The lack of control Of the nerves
can be corrected, he believes, but
the man who is not susceptible to
the stimulation Of those situations
will shoot just q certain score and
no more. There is nothing to fire
hi..,.
II have had thu experience Of
