Heinie Zimmerman’s run :n 1917 was even more |. ludicrous and far more costly. The muff by Snodgrass was a physical error, while the now historic run of Zimmerman from third to the home plate was a mental as well as physical slip. It so happened that I was the umpire in the series that furnished the setting a the play that made Zimmerman the goat of the series. It will be recalled that Heinie chased Eddie Collins cross the plate in an effort to retire him. I might add that I was just in the wake of the 90-foot dash, following the steps of Zimmerman. It was a dumb play if there ever was one.

Ring Sportsmanship 1 of Jack Dempsey Is Hit by Paul Prehn Chicago, Jan. 5.—(AP)—A tirade; against Jack Dempsey for “unethi- cal” boxing methods was made last night by Paul Prehn, chairman of the Illinois boxing commission under whose regulations Dempsey sought unsuccessfully last September to win back the heavyweight title he lost to Gene Tunney. : Dempsey, said Prehn, addressing the Illinois Society of Engineers, “does not know the true meaning of apertemanshine” He has been known throughout boxing circles for years, Prehn said, as “one of the trickiest ters.’ ‘unney was not out when he went down in that seventh round at Sol- dier’s Field, Prehn said. “After the official count of three, Tunney could have gotten up. At six or seven he was wide awake. If Dempsey had been allowed to remain in the near corner he would have attempted to hit Tunney as he came off the floor, just as he has done in bouts’ with Firpo and others. He got away with it before, and thought he could get away with it again.” | —— | Wahpeton Wildcats | \ “Will Engage Bison oe ee See ° Wahpeton, N.

CAGE TOURNEY IS APPROVED Chicago ‘U’ Proceeds With Plans For Annual National Prep Meet Chicago, Jan. 5,—(?)—- Armed with the approval of the National Federation of ‘State High School Atheltic association, the University of Chicago today proceeded with plans for its annual national inter- | scholastic basketball tournament. The tourney will be held April 3 to 7, inclusive, Opposition to the tournament has ‘been raised by members of middle- western state high school athletic associations, who contend it causes too heavy a strain on the contest- ants, disrupts their studies and has a harmful effect upon student bodies. This opposition will be placed before the national body’s meeting at Boston February 27, and the tournament's continuance voted upon. The action of the February meet- ing, however, will not affect the coming tournament. risler, manager of the tournament, said the tourney had been successful and that it did not work a physical strain on the play- ers, i | fans an opportunity to get a closeup on the Minnesota team that was singled out from among the college outfits of the country to participate in elimination trials for the Olympic championships. The Gophers were prevented from competing, however, by action of the athletic board which disapproved of participation. Captain Thomas Smith, Bison coach, and 10 players were a none too confident squad. The Bison have been handicapped by subzero weather, outdoor practice having been virtually 4mpossible for more than a week. Minnesota was in much _ better condition than Captain Smith’s charges as the Gophers have been practicing on an indoor rink since early in November. Captain Smith announced before leaving Fargo that Johnny John- son of Fargo would ‘start at center, with Charles Entner of Campbell, Minn., and Kenneth McDowell of Fargo at the wings; John Diemert of Moorhead and Palmer Severtson of Fargo at the defense posts, and Bill McRoberts of Wayne, Neb., as goalie, Roy Landbloom, J. McLachlin and Frank Dvorak, all of Fargo, and Odin Hagen of Roseau, Minn., will be used as spares. Tunney Looks For Bigger and Better Crowds and ‘Gates’ New York, . Jan. 5.—(7)—Gene Tunney not only expects to enjoy more title bouts but to have bigger and better crowds—and “gates” for them. In a reminiscent as well as pro- Pphetic mood at the dinner and “first convention” of sports champions, given by the “600” millionaires of the Madison Square Garden club, the heavyweight champion preditted ' A that the time was.soon coming when Mandan Pickups Trim| the big bouts would “draw twice as St. Mary’s Cage Five, 19 to 10, in Upset Led by the accurate - shooting George Huff, the Mandan Pickups defeated the basketball quint of St. Mary’s Parochial school, 19 to 10, in a fast, clean game Wednesday night.
