mined the Capital City mines wiz
over Valley City at the local park
Tuesday night as Lefty Vincent hello
the dangerous visiting batsmen to a
single hit and at no time gave them
more than a meager chance to offset
the scant margin Of victory.
It was battle between two polish
ed teams, neither giving the other the
slightest concession after that opening
frame. The game was exceptionally
fast, taking q little less than an hour
and 20 minutes.
As it happened, the fact that Berg
strom dropped Desiderato's long fly
to right field In the first inning was
singularly important to the Bismarck
victory. Desiderato travelled to Sec
ond before Bergstrom could get the
ball back to the infield and went to
third as A. Hancock muffed Haley's
drive along the first base line.
Troupe's fielder,s choice gave him his
chance to complete the circuit for the
first and only tally of the game.
Pitchers Engage In Duel
From that point on. the contest was
one, two, three as Vincent and his
mound adversary, Fisher, engaged in
their epic duel. Valley City's only hit
Of the game, by G. Hancock, came in
the second inning. A. Hancock, who
made first on Haley's error, went to
third as result of his brothers hit
but Vincent left him holding the sack
- he struck out the next two men
to the plate and retired the side.
Bismarck had its next scoring
chance IN the third when Goetz hit.
He went to second on Massmann's sac
rifice but was left there as Desiderato
flied out and Haley's bingle along the
first base line was caught for a put
out by A. Hancock at first.
In the fourth, Troupe. first up,
doubled only to have Ringhofer fly
out to Luther at second and Vincent
and Mccartney strike out.
The Capital City teams final
threat came In the sixth when De-
siderato singled only to be victim
Of double play launched by the
alert Catcher Hancock.
Converts Error to Double Play
Haley, who followed Desiderato,
popped q high ball over home plate.
What looked like foul turned out
to be fair ball. Hancock dropped
the catch but showed rare good judg-
ment by flashing the ball to second
to force out Desiderato and catch
Haley mapping as Luther completed
the play from second to first.
Vincent's record Of allowing the
Valley City heavy stickers single
hit Is considered one OF the most re-
markable performances seen here this
season. He struck out 10 men and
walked four. A. Hancock, in the
fourth position on the Valley City
batting lineup, was passed twice. Vim
cent apparently sensed from the be-
ginning that the game was to be de-
cided by small score and took no
chances.
His opponent, Fisher. likewise put in
. record performance in holding the
local hitters to mere trio Of swats
Though Fisher struck out only three
men, he threw a drugged ball that
failed to go out Of the fielding zones
except on the three occasions.
Bismarck will play the Kansas City
Monarchs, colored champions of the
world, in q twilight game at the local
ball park Friday evening at $50. Nor
riS will be called for mound duty,
Manager Neil Churchill said.
