Fully. 700 enthusiastic. fans filled the armory to-wifness the contest and today 700 husky voices are glad they were there. When Bemidji made its first counter the crowd clearly voic- ed its approval and the echo of the shouts is still ringing in many ears. Crookston started the scoring in two free throws, granted on a per- sonal foul by Adair, Bemidji right guard. The Firemen shortly evened the count on a field goal by Plum- mer. The remainder of the scoring in the first half consisted of a field goal by Samson, right forward for the Gunners, and two field goals by Shorty Barrett, Bemidji left guard, one by Fred Phibbs, left forward, and another field goal and one free throw by Plummer, right forward, leaving the score at the end of the first half 11 to 4 in favor of Be- midji. : Crookston was certainly puzzled and the prospects of.a drubbing did not apparently set wéll on their crops and caused considerable jangling. Coming back in the second half and scoring two field goals in short order, Crookston gave signs of re- vival but the Bemidji boys again played them for all they were worth and from then on limited Crookston‘s scoring to another field goal and one free throw, while rolling in three field goals and two free throws for themselves, making the second half 8 to 7 in Bemidji's favor and the game 19 to 11. Plummer led the scoring for Be- midji with three field goals and three free throws, Samson of Crookston scoring the same number of points in the same manner. Webber, who substituted for Samson at right for- ward when Samson went to center in place of Raines, scored the only other counter for Crookston. In addition to Plummer’s scoring, ,Fred Phibbs made two field goals, Barrett: two and Jueb one. Plum- mer scored on three-out of six-at- tempts from the 15-toot mark, while Samson, of Crookston made good on three ont of three throws. : The second-game. of a series- with Crookston will be played at the lat- ter city next Wedfjesday evening and it is expected that a large following of Bemidji fans may accompany the Firemen. Two other games with the Company M team have been arrang- ed for later on in-the season,-one on the Bemidji floor and the other at Crookston. 4 It is easily conceded that last night’s game was one of the most in- teresting ever seen here and the fact that it was attendMd by at least 700 persons is evidence enough that Be- midji will sthbport a real team, and that the city ig strong for basketball. Although they were a number of attempts at roughing it, Dr. J. W. Diedrich officiated a very satisfactory game, Bob Traynor of Crookston serving as umpire. Every man on.the Bemidji team played a whale of a game and the almost ' impentrable defense gave Crookston very few shots at close range. ' Barrett and Adair, at guards kept the Crookston forwards guess- ing, even holding Captain Haaven, the usual strong . point-getter- for Crookston, from making even one counter. .Jueb..showed his usual strength for the Firéemen and Plum- mer and Phibbs proved a great pair in the forward - positions. Movold substituted for Plummer when the latter was forced to leave the game on account of injuries. The summary follows. Bemidji B. Plummer, rf. 3 Phibbs, Fred, 1f. 2 Movold, rf.

RIVALRY HIGH ouble Datea By HENRY L, FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) New York, Dec. 21.—With both New York_clubs in_their own parks next season there will be tremendous rivalry for the patrpnage of the Manhattan fans.; ) i While nothing i yet; known about the schedules, it is-taken as a fore- gone conclusion that both the Yanks and the 'Giants will have some con-| flicting dates at home. | The desire .for more Sunday dates | caused the Giants: to, terminate the arangement which gave the Yankees the use of the Polo grounds for half the season and:when the Giants want more Sunday. games, the sched- ule makers most likely will grant them, as one other club will profit also. ® The same is true of the Yankees. New York, of course, is big enough to support two Sunday gameg but one is bound to draw a little better than the other, if they suc- ceed in developing a partisan fol- lowing. In Babe Ruth, the Yanks have the greatets drawing card in baseball and if the big fellow does what he promises to do this winter, he ought to hit them again next year. In addition, it would be no sur- prise to see Eddie Collins working around second; base. The gkeatest of all second basemen would be a great gate attraction, and he‘is very popular in New York, and it would give the Yanks a “mililon dollar” infield to compare with the Giants. Erin Ward isn’t the worst second baseman in the league and consid- ering that he has time to come along | deal would not seem logical, were it not for the fact that Miller Hug- ging doesn’t like Ward and Ward doesn’t like to play under him. There is also a strong possibility that the ranks. may have little Dicky Kerr to pitch for them in another year. 5 One of John McGraw’s bitterest disappointments. was the failure to land and develop, Babe Ruth be cause he turned the Swat King over against ‘Jack Dunn, the Baltimore manager, so strongly that he didn’t speak to him for years. McGrew perhaps. was not thinking | BASKETBALL RULES | REMOVAL In what cases can the referee re- move a player from the game? If a player makes four personal fouls he automatically removes him- self from the game. The referee then simply points to the exit sign when, the fourth personal foul is committed by the same player. He can also be ejected from the game for a disqualifying foul. DISQUALIFY What is a disqualifying foul? When in the opinion of the offi- cial a player indulges in rough play that is entirely uncalled for, he can of Babe from a commercial stand.’ ipoint, as he would"have considered {it the crowning glory of his career if he had. been the one to bring out the greatest hitter of allbaseball. The Giants will be handicapped as long as Ruth does his stuff. The world/s champs are willing: to spend any kind of money, but drawing |cards like Ruth come only once in a lifetime. McGraw has two good attractions Inext season—Jack .Bentley, a $70,- 000 Baltimore star is the nearest to Babe Ruth that has ever come up. Bentley is a left handed pitcher, first baseman and outfielder, a great homerun slugger and a find hiter. Jimmy O’Connell, a $75,000 youngster from the Pacific Coast, is another good prospect. He is also a ifirst baseman and outfielder, a dar- class such action as a disqualifying foul and remove the offending play- er from the game. JUMPING his back? center, each center player back. FORFEIT ‘When a game is forfeited by a team what is regarded as the final score? A forfeited game is never to be desired. not a team believes it is being justly treated it should play the game un- der protest and continue to the fin- ish.
