ASSOCIATION RACE
REMAINS TIGHT AS
LEADERS DROP SET
Minneapolis Now Leads In.
dianapolis by But Half a
Game; Loop Is Rigid

Chicago, Sept. 1.-(AP)-That
tight race for the American associa-
ton pennant just won't loosen up.
With only about % games left to
be played by each club before the
season is over, Minneapolis clings
onto first place by a margin Of but
half a game over Indianapolis, and
only three and half games ahead
Of the birthplace St. Paul club. Kan
sas City is in third place and only
one game away from the top, and
Milwaukee is two and q half games
from the peak.
st. Paul applied the brace on the
struggle yesterday by trimming the
leading Millers 7 to 3 in the opening
game Of their series, gaining full
game on their traditional enemies.
At the same time Jack Lelivelt's
Milwaukee Brewers did their bit by
upsetting the Kansas City Blues, s
to 2. Indianapolis, which had an
off-scheduled day, took advantage
of the intrawestern warfare and
climbed back into undisputed second
place.
indianapolis has a great oppor-
tunity to gain in the race starting
today, as it begins a six-game series
with the Louisville Colonels, who
have skidded into the basement.
Toledo opens similar series with
Columbus, while the western con-
tenders fight among themselves.

GLIDER CLUBS
BEING. FORMED
Fascinating Sport Is Fast Be-
coming Popular in This
Country

Aeronautics in q new form is
gaining interest throughout the
country.
This new interest had its in,/,-
ton in the formation Of Glider Clubs
in various sections throughout the
country.
Although the idea IS fast becoming
popular in this country it is said to
have been inaugurated in Germany;
when aviation activities were so re-
stricted at the close Of the great war
that the Germans returned to ex-
periments with air gliders.
Experiments were carried on by
individuals until 1921 when an or
ganized system Of instructions was
established. Students were taught
to use gliders Of various kinds until
proficient. It is now required that
pilots be "glider graduates" before
they secure licenses to. be employed
by commercial aviation cor-Daries in
that country.
A remarkable thing about cir
gliding Is the possibilities Tor re-
manning aloft with no power other
than the pressure Of air currents.
The record for such flying. CT glid-
ing, is II hours and Is minutes, DUE
ing which the holder attained = lcc-
ord height Of 1880 feet, simply by
the use Of upwinds. The title record
holder also established . new dis
tance Of 40.47 miles.
The initial step Of introducing
this fascinating and valuable spor.
to the United States has been taken
BY Edward s. Evans, Of Detroit,
Michigan, former hOl1er Of the
round-the-world speed record. IS.

Steele Meets J a m e S t 0 W a
Northern Pacific Nine Here
Tomorrow in Grudge Game
Arising From Tournament !;
Grays Clash With Jimmies
Monday Afternoon

Bismarck baseball fans will be
treated to two snappy games over
the weekend.
Sunday at 3 .. m. Steele meets the
jamestown Northern Pacific nine in
a grudge battle arising from dis
pute in the second annual Bismarck
tournament conducted here last
week END.
Monday at 8 p. m. Bismarck will
meet the Jamestown Northern Pa
cific club.
If Steele and the Jimmies have re-
tanned their tournament pitchers,
Rafferty, and Teie respectively, the
Sunday contest has most appeal
ing nature.
The mustached Billy Rafferty,,
Fargo twirler who losses them over
for Steele, pitched two shutouts in
the tourney for Steele in successive
days, the semi final and final con-
tests. He whipped the jamestown
Northern Pacific club 10 to 0 Satur-
day and Bismarck 4 to @ Sunday.
And in the meantime he was clouting
doubles all over the diamond.
But Lefty Teie's record with a
weaker team apparently at the time
Of the tournament, did equally as
well. In whipping Fort Lincoln to
0, Teie allowed only n batters to
face him in nine innings, or three
men an inning. Two men were lucky
enough to get on base but they were
caught in double plays. One soldier
secured the only safe hit Of the
game, but il two Jimmie fielders
could have decided which should
catch the fly, the soldiers hit
wouldn't have been q hit. Scorers
couldn't give the fielders errors be-
cause both stopped before touching
the ball so they had to give the bat
ter . safe hit. In that game, Teie
whitfield Is batters.
Two days later Teie beat the Bis
marck Workmen 5 to 0 in six in
nings. The game was called because
of delay by rain. Teie whitfield nine
batters in those six innings and al
lowed but two hits.
That the pitchers could put up
nice pitchers battle is evidenced by
this information.
The Bismarck-Jimmie game will
also be interesting, because the two
teams did not meet in the tourha-
ment, game that was desired by
fans.
II Doc Loves arm is in good con-
dition he will probably do the mound
work for the local club. and the re-
mainder Of the Bismarck lineup will
be the same as it was in the tourna-
ment.

PIRATES DROP
OLD STANDBY

New York, Sept. 1.-(AP)-The
release Of Clyde Barnhart, smuggling
Pennsylvania Dutchman, removes
another old standby from the roster
Of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Barnhart was released on option
yesterday to indianapolis Of the
American association, which is in
the midst Of q hot pennant fight and
needs an experienced outfieldcr to
replace Adam Comorosky, whom the
Pirates recalled several days ago.
The fact that Barnhart's release was
aot outright raves the way :or his
return to the Pirate fold, but on the
lace Of things it appears that the
popular Barnhart's major league star
has definitely set.
Earnhart came to the Pirates from
