BILE Plays Made

Bismarck divided its ball park de-
dication doubleheader with the white
House Of David team Sunday as they
pulled out I to victory in the open
er and then dropped the second game
6 to 5 In 10 innings.
The heavy stickers Of the Capital
City club hoped on the offerings of
Babe Didrikson and Ambrose for 10
hits in the first tilt, one of them a
horherun by Massmann, and pounded
out their first win amid intermittent
showers.
But the bearded boys from Benton
Harbor came back in the second
event and evened the count behind the
effective hurting OF Hunter.
D. E. Shipley, acting as master Of
ceremonies, dedicated Bismarcks i'm
proved ball park and introduced form
er Governor Joseph M. Devine, who
used to play in big league baseball.
Devine threw the ball to Vincent and
the first game was underway.
The much-vaunted Babe lasted only
one inning In the mound and was
1hcked for five safe bingles. It was
the combination Of rain and the
heavy hitting of the Bismarck club
that was too much for the star
woman-athlete and she retired in
favor Of Ambrose at the opening OF
the second frame.
Vincent In Form
Massnann dashed out In the fourth
and drove the ball far over the left
field fence for his fourth circuit smash
this year as Vincent kept the House
Of David team we'll In control, retiring
four men by the strikeout route.
The locals counted five runs while
Miss Didrikson was chucking on dou-
bles by Haley and Vincent and singles
from the bats Of Morlan. Desiderato
and Troupe, who showed little respect
for the sex Of their pitching opponent.
Bismarck scored once in the fourth
and again in the seventh.
The bearded club opened their scor-
ing In the third with two runs count
ed twice more in the fifth and once
in the sixth but Morris, who relieved
Vincent in the eighth. struck out the
first three batters that faced him and
Hill, for the House Of David. hit into
a fast double play. Haley to Mass
mann to Ringhofer, in the ninth
which, followed by a fly to Morlan,
ended the first ball game.
Cross for the House Of David got
the second homer Of the twin bill in
the fifth inning of the second con-
test. Bismarck outhit the victors Il
to II but had six men left on the
paths. Morris, who recently came to
the Capital City, looked like a
worthy successor to Satchel Paige in
that second game, for he struck out
II Of the opposing batters in the bat
tie that went 10 innings.
Execute Double Plays
Three double plays featured that
second game, two by the boards"
and the other when Desiderato caught
an infield fly and threw Hill out at
first.
Haley led the Bismarck sluggers in
Sundays games with five hits. Nor
ian. Massmann and Vincent got three
each while Goetz and Troupe were
collecting q brace apiece
The Benton Harbor club was all the
advanced publicity had said but they
were no more than an even match
for the Capital City team. All
through the game, the mud and rain
handicapped the teams, made play
ing conditions bad. and cut down the
crowd for the dedication ceremonies.
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week the Bismarck club plays the fast
Dickinson nine here. Dickinson held
the local team to a scoreless tie in
six innings at Dickinson Friday night
and have a dangerous club that
should give the Capital City represent
atives plenty Of opposition in this
series.
