Non-Commital about his plans, the unknown sportsman stated th he hoped to by able to make an a0-; nouncement of his preliminary ate; rangements ‘within ttre next week. Aside from that, he stated, he had! mothing to offer at the present time.| Hazarding a guess at the word “extraordinary” which the myster- fous figure used, we judge that the ‘Mysterious Promoter will pass from! the field of amateur dttractions to ‘the professional field. , — Is It Petrolle? It would not be at ail curprising! either if the Mysterious Promoter| thas been dickering with Jack Hur- Jey, the manager of Billy Petrolle who today is the greatest box of-| fice attraction in the northwest. There is no doubt that the time is opportune for staging an extra- ordinary card on the Missouri Slope ‘and to our way of thinking, any card would not be “extraordinary” unless it included Billy Petrolle. One drawback to bringing North Ys greatest fighter to Bis- marck looms. That is expense. Billy, today, can enter any ring in the country, demand $5,000, and get it.

Root, participating in around 50 games, showed signs of the strain toward the end of 1927, but finished with a record of 26 victories and 15 defeats. His “wrinkle ball” was one of the most deceptive deliveries exhibited by any of the National League moundsmen. Yanks Must Pay When the Yankees get through dickering with their players over 1928 contrdcts it is likely that the payroll of the world’s champions will be well in excess of $300,000 for the year, a record for all time in baseball. Ruth’s $70,000 salary, topping the list, is the same _as last season but Hoyt, Gehrig, Moore, Pigras, Laz- zeri, Combs and Koenig all may: be considered eligible for increases.
