BOARDMAN IN CONTEST

Kelly Simonson won baseball
game for Bismarck Sunday. He
slashcd single down the Mercer
third baseliac 1t score Roy Nc
Leod, ended the game . to 4, drove
the fans frantic and brought Kelly
real JOY.
The bulky lad with the Irish
handle had waited two weeks for
what happened For two successive
Sundays Kelly had failed to reach
first base. His mates had won two
ball games but kelly's efforts had
been nil.
Yesterday Kelly reached first
base in the seventh inning. He
didn't stop there. He galloped to
third while a Mercer gardener was
h, ofing after the long drive. But
kclly's threc-ply smash didn't help
Bismarck. He was the only
man who touched the bags that in
ming. 1t seems Kelly couldn't help
the boys win a game.
The score was tied when the last
half OF the ninth hove round. Sage
horn and Sailer were easy outs as
Neil Churchill called upo'- Charlie
Boardman to .ct the hero. You all
know Charlie. The vetc.an cam
paigner poled out the longest foul
of the year and then Gescllchcn
walked him. 1t was up to Kelly.
He did it. And how!
Love Goes Big
The game wasn't all Kelly. Take
"Doc" Love for instance. IL struck
out 10 men. Four Of those strike
outs came in the final innings with
the score tied. DO" was some
Babe Ruth. The spine adjuster
caught one of the Butcher Boy
smoke balls on the trade mark. 1t
missed Gesellchens head by inches.
shot like bullet past Pete Left and
spreadeagled Sprout all over center
field. A homer on ground ball!
Some hit!-
Then there was Louie Lenaburg
of Bismarck and BUST 'em" Finn
Of Mercer. Pitchers meant nothing
to them. They are credited with
batting three times and hitting
three times. That's what they call
perfect day at bat.
Babe Mohn of the locals and L
Sackman still can prove they arc
the best in the west. Babe kept ur
his average Of two hits per game
They were singles. Sackman SHIPPED
Love for single. Again he brought
ROSY hopes to Mercer bv polling thc
pellet for three bases scoring two
runs ahead Of him.
And there were others!
Roy Mcleod made his debut by
connecting with Gesellchen's slants
four times. Three Of his shots were
called but he found the range on the
fourth which was good for a single
He looks like race horse to some
of the boys so fast are his pins. The
ball just didn't come his way in tbs
field but those legs should carry him
under most Of the drives.
Some Snappy Play
Johnny Sagehorn scored Mohr
and Lenaburg on sizzling single at
an opoprtune time. Eddie Sailer
played the game by sacrificing on
two occasions. Fuller covered per-
fectly three smashes that came in
his direction. He did his little jug
Cling act once but like the Mounted
police ''got his man." Eddie Tobin
took IL balls for putouts but
Numbered on pitch to second base.
It didn't do damage.
To Merces goes the plaudits for
fielding feats. Four double plays
in one game is something Of rec
ord in these parts. Finn caught
two of the Bismarck boys at home
after taking accurate pegs from
Gesellchen and Raugust. Raugust
brought the fans to their feet when
he speared a long hit off Sagehorn's
bat.
Jack Gesellchen who will pitch for
Bismarck after June l took quite a
Smelling during the nine innings he
was on the mound. Where Bis
marck's fusileers had the range,
Gesellchen's shots were not aimed
with his usual deadlincss. He al
lowed IL hits, walked two and could
only strike down lone man.
The fans had one howl. They
were praying that Charlie Board
man would straighten out one of his
drives and send it into centerfield.
Neil Churchill's new scoreboard
seemed to spoil the horizon and
Charlie, Louie or some of the other
long-range gunners were capable of
punching it full of holes.
Bismarck's general all-around
play bodies no good for opponents.
The third successive victory of the
season was chalked up. There were
errors of strategy but every team
commits them. The surprising thing
is they were so few
Today the Bismarck Greys turn
their eyes towards Mandan. On
Memorial day, the fighting Trainers
will strive to repel Bismarck in
vasion in a return game. The con-
test has been called for the Slope
fair grounds diamond at 3 p. m.
