Bismarck and Mandan Highs "DEFEAT FACES Three Catchers Gained Much Fame DEMON CAGERS |} _ Tiroush Johnson IN SECOND MIX Clan McLeod Shows No Sign of Having Emerged From Mid-season Slump DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:45 Capital City Reserves and Mandan Papooses Will Play Preliminary at 7:30 Gloomy is the word that describes the prospects of the Bismarck High Demons repeating their early season triumph over the ancient rivals, Mandan High, in the second meeting that _is billed for tomorrow night on the Braves’ court. Coach Roy McLeod’s basketeers have not yet shown any signs of having emerged from the slump of the past three weeks while Coach Leonard McMahan’s quint has never looked better. J.C. Gould, superintenden: of the Mandan: public schools, annouw today that extra bleachers had been constructed in the gallery of the high school gym, where the game ll be played, and that the seating ane, will b2 about 700. ‘he doors will open at 6:45 p. m., Mandan time, and the preliminary game between the Bismarck All- ahd e st a beh “ the nears apooses will start promptly at 7: P m. The big game wht be called immediately upon the close of the first contest. Great Battle Expected — Mandan, flushed with its victory over the classy Jamestown five, and Bismarck, disgruntled with its lack- adaisical Leod’s clan, nevertheless will fo: over-confidence or an inferiority complex and settle down to the reatest cage battle of the season. Fast performances bear witness to this fact If Bismarck plays the game that it is capable of, then it will be an- other sad evening for Morton coun- ty’s prides while continued e play on the part of the Demons’ will mean nothing but a Bravo victory. Lineups of both crews will prob- ably be the same as in the first e with the exception that Stephens is likely to face off in Helbling’s place on the McMshan outfit.

Johnson CONNIE MACK HAS NO INTRODUCTION FOR NEW PLAYERS Tris Speaker and Bing Miller Have Displaced Ty Cobb and Zach Wheat By BRIAN BELL (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, Feb. 16.—()—Con- nie Mack, in introducing a 1928 out- field two-thirds made over from that of 1927, will not be called upon to introduce either of the two new outfielders to the territory they will es ses tth is Speaker, who will play a short distance behind second Base and call it center field, knows all re is to know about the center field terrain of Shibe Park just as he does about every other Ameri- can Lapa a? field.

Miller broke in with Washi: but went to the Athletics in 1922 and remained on the outfield staff of Connie Mack until 1926 when he was traded to the St. Louis Browns. Now he is back again, with a bit more bulk but still fast. immons Meves Over Al Simmons, sole survivor of the outfield ret completed by Ty Cobb and Buck Wheat in “The Runner- Up of 1927,” will have to go only a fuw feet to find his corner. He played center field last season. This year he will move over to left to make room for the gray ball hawk who in spite of his 40 years can travel al with the best outfield- ers in the business. Simmons hits the ball in spite of his awkward Oa" i in 1925 hung up a mark Speaker will prove helpful to the atshenne Regen eeiae: ‘he Texan showed the di pie how to go back on a fly il 20 years age and he is still showing them, old and young, that many a poten- tial extra base hit can be caught if a fielder starts early enough in the right direction. The veteran Speaker, lo a friendly enemy of Connie Mack on the ball field and friend and ad- mirer off the battle front, in ex- pressing his pleasure at becoming associated with the cagy Connie, said with a sigh of regret, “I wish I could play alongside Ty one sea- son. Tris Not Cheap Cobb, however, had to go. away before Speaker could come in, fo Ty was expensive and Tris is not cheap.

D., Feb. 16.—A fighting band of basketcers from Hazelton were defeated Tuesday evening by the Napoleon town team on the Napoleon high school court by a score of 33 to 26. The local | team headed the Hazelton aggrega- tion at the half 26 to 15, Hazelton opened the scoring when Bristol, center, sank a long one trom the field, and Kalber, forward, made good ona couple of close tries at the net. With the Emmons county team leading 6 to 0, Ed. Doerr, Na- poleon forward, made it 6 to 3 by a goal from the field and a free throw. Goals in rapid res weld by Houser, E. Doerr and A. rr put the Bonapartes in the lead, which they retained for the remaind- er of the game. Ed. Doerr, former U. N. D. cager, and Mac Houser, forwards, formed in a stellar fashion for the Napoleon townsmen, Doerr piling up| a total of eight goals and two free throws, and Houser gathering seven points by three shots from the field and one from the free throw line. The defensive play of A. Doerr and S. Meier, Napoleon guards, was commendable, and Doerr also con- tributed a pair of field goals, For Hazelton, Bristol, who form- erly played center on the James- town college team, and Kalber, for- ward, looked the best. Although Bristol was held to two field goals| by the close guarding of the Napo-; leons, he was a big factor in the offensive and defensive play of the Hazelton team. This was the second meeting of the two teams, Hazelton taking the first contest by a 32 to 28 score. The lineup and summary: Napoleon Ed. Doerr, f .... P. Meier, f ... Houser, f ..... Ost, f ....
