Manager Jo Bow- man said Maynard Park. eran lefthander, would probably start for Great Falls. Tempers flared in bottom of the eighth inning and, 15 minutes later, the game continued without the services of three Cardinal players.

Bockman took a long lead at firct and Cardinal Pitcher Don Appleby started to make the play. Bockman went back to first and Appleby stopped in mid-throw. The umpires ruled it a balk and waved Bockman to second. Then the rhubarb began. Appleby, Manager Larry Barton and Catcher Dick Rand were sent to the showers and Relief Hurler Walt Leptien, who is credited with the loss, went to the mound.
