SATCHEL PAIGE WINS DEBUT
Elongated Negro Hurler Whiffs

Five BingIes

"A late rally which gave the Capt.
tai City three runs in the last two in
nings and brought 1900 hoarse fans
to their feet when, with two out in
the last frame, Bill Morlan's double
scored Ralph Sears from first base,
enabled Bislmarck's classy baseball
team to nip Jamestown 80 in lone Of
those games" here Sunday afternoon.
Things looked bad for Bismarck in
the sixth inning when the visitors
punched three hits and walk off
Satchel Paige. the Capital City's new
six-foot four-inch hurler, for two
runs.
But the situation changed sharply
In the eighth inning when Barney
Brown, Jamestown's gallant Negro
southpaw, walked Red Haley, and
Quincy Troupe and Paul Schaefer fol-
lowed with triples to tie the count.
Steam On In Ninth
"They don't get no mo- runs" Paige
confided as he left the dugout to hurl
the ninth inning. And the elongated
hurler, threw 10 balls in that frame
nine Of which were strikes for three
successive strikeouts.
AS Bismarck came to bat in the last
half Of the ninth inning, Bob Nc
Carney and Paige, the first two men
up, went out In order. Then Brown
hit Sears with a pitched ball and the
little second baseman got a free
ticket to first. With one strike on
him, Morlan broke up the ball game
with his sharp double to left field. AL
Schauer, Jamestown's leftfie d e r,
made the mistake OF trying to rob
Morlan OF hit and the ball went un-
der him as he lunged. Then Sears,
guilty of the only error of the game,
redeemed himself with a burst of
speed around the paths, beating the
throw to home by inches.
Paige, despite 24-hour train ride
from Chicago which ended only few
hours before the game, acquitted him.
self as one Of the classiest hurlerS
ever to show in North Dakota. With
out question he pitches the fastest ball
ever exhibited In these parts. In the
early part of the game he used a
tricky delayed delivery with great ef-
feet.
A Fine Fielder Also
Not only does he use his long arm
10 great advantage in pitching, but
he also is great fielder in his posi-
ton. In one instance he leaped high
in the air to rob Shortstop Haley Of
an assist. In another instance, with
two out. he fielded ball, leaned over
to pick his resin bag off the ground,
and then threw the runner out at
first.
II Jamestown had q hero Sunday,
it was Elmer Ruud, veteran first
baseman, who singled in the sixth
with two men on base to drive in both
Of the visitors runs.
Each of the pitchers, Paige and
Brown, granted five hits, but Bis
marck's clouts were for more bases,
including two triples and two doubles.
Charley Hancock, who got a double,
was the only visitor to hit for an
extra base.
Paige struck out 18 batsmen while
Brown whitfield l3. Brown walked
five, Paige one.
Not until the sixth inning did Paige
permit a jamestown runner to Sec
Ond base, but Bismarck had men on
bases often. On one occasion Troupe
struck out with the bases loaded.
The only error of the game was
charged to Ralph Sears, who crippled
his shoulder two nights before the
game when sliding into a base. Fav-
oring the shoulder Sunday, Sears fail
ed to come in on Harold Westbys slow
grounder and the fleet jamestown
second-sacker beat out Sears slow
throw to first.
