Bismarck found the 1sraelite House
OF David an entirely different propo-
sition from the club they defeated
earlier In the esaSon, succumbing to
the heavier hitting and faster fielding
of the Benton Harbor crew, 6 to 3.
in a twilight game Wednesday night.
For six innings the two teams waged
close battle with Frank Stewart for
the locals and Chief Nusser for the
bearded CLUB taking complete charge
of the games progress from their
mound positions.
Then came the lucky seventh,
when the Colony veterans manufac-
tured four runs out Of five hits to add
to two previous scores and tucked the
game away. Bismarck made des-
perate attempt to overcome that five
run margin in their turn at bat but
the rally failed, after two men had
been scored. as Fisher and Troupe
were set down in order with the bases
loaded.
Fielding Spotty
From the spectators point Of view it
was good ball game. If there were

swayed too much by local partisan
ship. Forgetting for the moment
several unforgivable erorrs, the Bis
mark club played at times in a truly
sensational manner.
Bill Morlan twice in the first three
innings sprinted far outside Of the
third base line to snag foul balls and
made, over all. six putouts from his
left garden position. Mike Goetz, In
left field. took a high fly with one
man down in the ninth and then
rifled the ball to Troupe who had no
trouble catching Nusser attempting
to score after the catch. And then
you can't forget the heady play OF
Mac Mccartney. who. after going high
into the air to grab Hansens bounder,
threw Fleming out at home.
But the game had its dark spots
along with the bright ones. The
Davids scored first in the fourth
stanza on hit, walk and an error
Bismarck drew abreast In their turn
at bat when Quincy Troupe drove out
a long double scoring later on Red
Haley's single.
sWhiskers' Take Lead
Adding another run in the fifth.
the visitors waited until the seventh
to really do things up right. Hanson
started the trouble with a. triple.
Fleming followed with two-base hit
and before the noise had Quoted
down four runners had crossed the
plate.
It looked for time as if the To-
Gals might even things up in their
turn at bat. Stewart flew out to the
second baseman but Morlan got on
through the shortstop's error and Nc
Carney singled. Goetz scored Nor
Ian from second with double to right
field and Mccartney came home when
Massmann pushed one out between
second and third Hahn was passed,
loading the bases. but Fisher struck
out and Troupe fouled out to retire
the side.
Neither team scored III the last two
innings. Massmailn returned to the
hitting form that kept him among
the leaders in the early part Of the
season. He drove in one run and col
lected a double and two singles in
five trips to the plate. Nusser, Tucker
and Hutson led the Benton Harbor
teams attack.
Friday. Bismarck plays the Dickin-
son Cowboys in the local ball park
and Sunday they meet the Beulah
Miners, also oil the local diamond.
