GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) THE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE e Compelled t HEBRON AND DICKINSON ARE RIVALS, Sportsmanship of Demons Shone Resplendent in Val- ley City Struggle New York, Jan. 18.—@)—If the Yankees keep up their present pace in pennant winning as well as in| player-purchasing it may be neces- sary for them to put a “B” team pn the field, as some of the colleges are doing in football, to revive American a io competition and ive the surplus talent something | jo. They will have the material to dol {t by 1929, at any rate. The club Biready has a second baseman,! phortstop and a few pitchers tagged for delivery next year or later. “The two-team idea would relieve) Miller Huggins of no little em-) barrassment when his recruits, such | as Lyn Lary and Jimmy Reese, | start reporting for action and bid- ding for places on an outfit that! fooks good enough now to with- . Stand most tests for at Icast two, br three years to come. Home And Home Games | Games might be arranged on the | fhome-and-home basis, if the other American League clubs fell in with | the idea. While team “A” was en- gaging the Athletics at the Yankee stadium, team “B” would oppose the Philadelphia seconds at Shibe rk. Or Huggins might split up first string nine and put Gehrig or Ruth with the team “B,” occa- tionally to attract the customers. To offer a further alternative, peerine might borrow the Notre | e system, starting his second er team as shock troops and gushing in the regulars when the acai appeared to be weakening. tt would be an interesting sight to gee Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Meusel and the rest of the regulars dash put of the dugout, along about the Cifth pied the swing into act against a visiting aggregation that had been finding holes in the de- fense put up by the reservists. Now that the Yankees and Giants have dipped into the player market with a few startling gestures every club in either major league has something to show for a record- breaking winter season of dealing. Giants Traded Star ‘The Giants had to xe Dale fore- most star.on the ma before do- ing business with any of their rival clubs and even then, it seems, most of them shied at the idea of making a deal for Hornsby. When Boston finally landed the famous second baseman it is probable that Judge Fuchs and the other Hub officials ex] d to wake up the next day nd find out it was all a dream. It ‘has. been a wide open season for: dealings in infield ivory. Most ff, the big minor league purchases ve involved inner workers, such as Cissell, who cost the White Sox the equivalent of $123,000 and the Pair, Lary and Reese, tt by the Yankees for a re-| ogend sum of $150,000.

MacGregor Bismarck High cagers will emerge from their fundamental training stage this week, according to Coach Roy D. McLeod, who said that large doses of scrimmage were to be prescribed for the Demons in the next few days rather than emphasis being placed on the fundamentals as has been the case since Dee. 1. _The maroon and gray take their first trip of the winter over Friday and Saturday, facing the Dickinson Midgets on the first night and the Hebron tossers on Saturday night. Reports emanating out of Teddy Roosevelt’s West are that the Cap- ital City five will be heavy favorites to cop both encounters on the basis of the strength shown by the respective teams so far this season. Dickinson, from all reports, is the weakest that i. has been in five years, Hebron is sligh’"; stronger, but not strong enough. Demons Were Lucky The Clan McLeod consider them- selves lucky to win the Valley City melee last Friday, their one-point victory being an indication of how close the power of the rival quint was, McLeod stated that it was just the sort of test that his ae needed—physically, mentally and from the team play standpoint. He pointed out that his boys trav- eled at top speed through the whole of the game, which consisted of two overtime periods in addition to the regular playing time. While ex- hausted at the end of the struggle, they were far removed from the fatigue point. Mental Attitude Excellent Their mental attitude was excel- lent. At no point in tho game did they show any lack of confidence, they fought back when behind and were at all times cool and collected. This was never more clearly dem- onstrated than. in those _ final minutes, when Bergeson of : Valley City collided with the wall and was knocked _semi-conscious. Hank Brown, the Bismarck leader, realized that Valley City had taken three time-outs and that the referee would award Bismarck a free throw. Nothing startling in this—but the score was tied. A successful toss from the free throw line would prob- ably give Bismarck victory. Sportsmanship Shines Never hesitating a minute, - Bis- marck’s captain told the referee to credit Bismarck with the time-out. |The referee refused but called a courtesy or referee’s time-out. ~ It was one of the finest pieces of sportsmanship ever displayed on any | ' basketball floor and Valley City ciern it—every member of Claudie Miller's team wrung Brown's hand with tears in their cyes. That piece of cool-headed and sportsmanlike play threw the game into two extra periods and gave Valley City a two-to-one chance to win. However, Fay Brown was just as steady as brother Hank and made the deciding point. Team Played Excellent Bismarck’s team play during that torrid battle was splendid. Their passing was well-nigh faultless, in- dividual play was a minus quantity, pl&y breaks were perfectly executed, guarding superb.

NEW HARKS Mighty Sluggers of Yankees Will Voluntarily Report One Week Early New York, Jan. 18—)—Babe Ruth is going after a new home run record. And so is Lou Gehrig. The mighty sluggers of the Yankees will report at the St. Pe- tersburg training camp a week ahead of the regulars to prepare for another great sprint. The Babe has his bat pointed for 500 home runs. He has 361 now which includes 60 from the last campaign. Of course Ruth doesn’t figure on corraling the deficit in the approaching drive but he be- lieves in trying for more than last season. Departure in advance of the main New York squadron is of the twin’s own initiative, for they de- sire to get in some intensive ‘prac- tice before the clubs swing into the championship cchedule. Babe and Lou will hitch onto a contingent of battery men due in Florida on February 26. Wants April Showers “You can bet your life I'm going to hit more than four homers next April,” the Babe said. “If you remember, that was all I turned out last April. I’ve always been troubled by a slow start, and I'm going to see if reporting a week earlier will do any B “If I had only hit more homers last April, I would have had a lot more on October 1. Not that I am predicting I will break my 1927 record, but you can’t hang a guy for trying.” Gehrig was held to four homers last April also, and he is anxious to start active training. Ruth’s earnings last year are es- timated at $225,000, including his $70,000 yearly salary from the Yankees, more than $5,000 as his share in the World series, $50,000 from his movie acting last winter, $30,000 from a recent barnstorming trip with Gehrig and the rest from miscellaneous sources such as news- paper stories and commercial ad- vertising. Ruth has been exercising several times a week in a gym while Geh- rig is doing carpenter work and painting at his home in New Rochelle. _ {By The Associated Press) jianapolis—Jimmy Hack- ley, Indianapolis, and Jack Duf- fy, Toledo, drew, (10).
