New Salem Beats Turtle Lake | New Salem scored an easy victory over Turtle Lake in the second game of the afternoon, emerging with a 19 to 11 verdict after a slow and boresome game. The Turtles were baffled by the; size of the floor and the height of; the ceiling, their shooting attempts | being for the most part wild heaves | from the center of the floor. New Salem had two brilliant stars | in Jones and Kirchmeier while Kru- ger, a young giant, was the pivot of | — the Holstein’s floor play. Jones led his mates wtih a total of cight points | for high scoring honors. | Lynne and Fogarty tried hard for the losers and scrapped throughout | the game. | At the beginning of the second half, the Turtles threatened to tic he count when a series of four | consecutive long shots brought them within one point of the loafing New tes. However, at this junc- ture, New Salem settled down to a| stall-and-break game and rapidly | drew away from the Lakers with a! ag offensive that had as its | »bjective—setup shots.

Heeney's showing definitely eliminated Jack Delaney as a heavyweight and proved a sec- ond time that the Bridgeport mauler should stick to his own division— the light heavyweight.

Tobin got his start with the Feds and was one of the few stars who had not deserted the present major leagues to join the ranks of the rival third league. He joined the St. Louis Feds in 1913, and played with that team until the St. Louis Browns took over the Feds in 1915.

CUBS PLAY TOMORROW Chicago, March 2.(P\—A._ re; lar ball game, the first of bs, been a: the cubs, morrow by” 1928 for THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Blacksmith From New Zealand Outcuffs Fighting Blade From Connecticut BY EDWARD J. NEIL (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, March 2—()—Once more, despite the most gallant ef- Delaney today was just a great light heavyweight and not a battler ! to mix successfully with the pon- derous, mauling boys who make up the as nts for Gene Tunney’s heavy’ ht title. In fifteen tugging, bruising rounds, boresome at times from the incessant close range fighting, Tom pot the plodding blacksmith from New Zealand, last night out- cuffed the one-time rapier of the north in Madison Square Garden monger of Boston, did a year ago in the same arena. ladder, but took nothing from his gameness and battling ability even though the steel in his blade does not turn to tin at sight of a crushing heavyweight. and outlasted by one of the rugged- est of present day fighters, but not ing of his big time career. While the result did not meet with unanimous approval of the 18,000 fans who paced the arena—! Delaney himself was certain he had j wWon—there was enough margin for! Heeney at the close to leave little | question as to the winner. Lacking a decisive outcome, such as a knock- out, however, there was little doubt} that “honest Tom” would have to do victorious battle with the winner of the Jack Sharkey-Johnny R bout here March 12 before gaining the coveted June shot at Gene Tun- ney’s heavyweight title. Right from the opening gong, the budgy muscled battler from} down under, threw himself into Delaney like a man possessed. For 15 rounds, he s d on top of the colorful French-Canadian, | ! silencing the big gun in Delaney’s| right hand with ease while he! chopped, tore and cuffed at his! rival’s head and body. Heeney’s| punches were short, for he hasn't ; much but bulk in the war of arms,! |; but they kept Delaney so busy | blocking, clinching and holding to |save punishment that an offensive! was a most difficult thing. | Delaney’s Right Useless While Heeney plowed to close quarters, his head buried in his broad, hairy chést, the right Hand that made Del.ney king of the 175- pounders was virtually useless, The bronzed woodsman with the flash-} ing black eyes was forced to depend! almost entirely on a left hook, swung incessantly to head and body, for which the burly anzac had little or no defense. All told, Delaney had a margin in six of the rounds while Heeney gathered in eight and one was even. Perhaps the highest point in the engagement came in the tenth | session, when Delaney, battling with new vigor and abandon, crashed a left hook to the sturdy chin of the New Zealander. For the first time in the fight, Heeney, despite his. 20-pound weight advantage, wavered under the impact of the blow, and was glad to clinch. As he did, Delaney cut loose with! all the fierce punching ability hid- den in his majestic shoulders, and a hail of leather, storming in from all directions, beat about Tom's head. But that solid chin took it all, buried into his chest when the gale became too great, and the round ended Delaney’s great oppor- tunity. McCann ‘lakes Count (quickly The semifinal, billed for eight rounds, was short-lived when Pierre Charles, Belgian heavyweight, knocked out Jack McCann, of St. Paul, in two minutes and 16 scc- onds of the first round. Charles nailed McCann with a right smash to the jaw in the first few seconds and the former Bis- marck, N. D., battler, dazed, visited the floor for a count of three. Mc- Cann was down five times alto- gether, for varying counts, under a fusillade of blows, before the one- sided ray ended. Jack was draped around the ropes at the finish and had to be hauled to his corner. Charles weighed 207 1-2 and Mc- Cann 191 1-2. Charles was seconded by Jack Dempsey’s trainer, Gus ison, while the ex-champioh’s 1927 man- ager, Leo P. Flynn, by a coincidence was in McCann’s corner. © Q SPORIS Who was ‘tke champion ‘coon - hound in North ‘Ame='ca last That owner led i tof wi in turf win- nings..during the 1927 vscing 5 oe 8 Tommy Milligan, a midc!eweight ho was defeated last year by Bick- MOF 7, Walkers isthe ‘outstanding Eng- Y he showed pitch," Balog’ young si * quick and quick to [learn be is: considered an excelicnt Shik, owned by I, B, Bakes ( vores fort of his picturesque career, Jack | just as Jimmy Maloney, the fish-; The defeat tossed Delaney right ; back to the foot of the heavyweight | fighting | the | Delaney was outsiugged, outroughed | until he had made the finest show- | heavyweight | No Question as to Winner | » * -& | MACDONALD SMITH There's an| old, familiar magic in Macdonald) Smith’s putter, a menacing whine to! his woods and a confident click to his irons that have forced the golf- ing wiseacres to take a new inven- tory of how the summer's tourna- ment spoils are to be divided. 1 Mac Smith, ruddy-faced youngest member of the Carnoustie Smiths, is| back “on,” and the fact brings no particular joy to the professional clan, who know that when he is able to haul out all the shots in his weather-stained bag there’s no man} harder to catch. . i Since 1910, when he first appeared in the National Open to lose out in the playoff with his brother, Aleck, and J. J. McDermott, Mac Smith's career has ben a battle against such odds as only ill health can juce, From that year until 1915 he was a_ mediocre campaigner, a player whose game steadily grew more polished, but who was increasingly! unable to stand the physical strain of a championship grind. He disap- peared from the picture in 1915, go- ing to California to pull himself to- gether, and, because he had been al- most forgotten, he astonished golf-! dom by finishing fifth, 11 strokes be-| hind Jim Barnes, in the Open at Co- lumbia in 1921, Followed Bob Jones He was back again in ’26 to come in eight strokes behind Bobby Jones and the following year to be 11 away} from Armour and Cooper. Then he! had another breakdown. That, even; his closest friends declared, was the end of Mac Smith, But for a man consigned to the golf scrap heap, the kid of the Carnoustie Smiths appears to have results of the winter golf campaign are tabulated. Mac has literall, cleaned house. He won the Los Angeles Open, rich- est of all the western prizes, the South-Central and Palos Verdes Opens. He tied with Tommy Armour for top money t Long Beach, fin- ished second at El Paso, a stroke be- hind Larry Nabholtz, and fourth in the Texas Open. Birdies, eagles and gold have clung to him like a long- lost brother. It is one of the most brilliant con- quests in the annals of the game on this side of the water. .,, Mac 7s Orthodox Smith has been winning right and left, not because of any particularly record-smashing rounds, but by the simplest and most effective manner possible—taking Old Man Par out for a ride day after day.

Stars Are-Favored There will be a few outstanding favorites to repeat 1927 individual triumphs, among them Sabin Carr of Yale in the pole vault, Bill Cox c£ Penn State in the mile, and Monty Wells of Dartmouth in the hurdles, bu: otherwise it looks like a wide open field. Even Carr may have his troubles.
