St. Mary’s Puts Bettencourt’s ‘20° Out of Use San Francisco, March 14—(*) —lllinois started a novel cus- tom several years ago when it took a tattered and torn jersey with a big “77” on the back and placed it in a position of honor in the university trophy room. “77” was Red Grange’s football number and it was an- nounced that as a tribute to Red, the number never would be used again. Stanford then came along and put away a sweatcr with a large number “1” on it in memory of Ernie Nevers, one of t'> great- est players of all time. _ St. Mary’s College, of Califor- nia, recently paid tribute in the same fashion to Larry Betten- court by hanging up his num- ber “20” sweater and ordering the number withdrawn for ‘squad usage, pressed themselves as highly ed | with the opportunity of playing a! game for the disputed title. Negotiations for the games were | started at the instance of various; members of the board of administra- | tion of the state who felt that the State School of Sceince had a right to challenge the supremacy of the | varsity and who also felt that it would be an inspiration to the dis- trict champions from all over North Dakota and the various fans to sec | two of the finest quints in years display their wares.

He has yet to meet Ralph Greenleaf of Philadelphia and Erwin Rudolph of Chicago, former cham- pions, each of whom has lost one game. All three of these experts were on today’s schedule, but not mect- !ing each other.

All of the attributes of a pen- nant winning team are centered in the aggregation Manager Joe play in the uniforms of the north- jsiders of Chicago’s baseball. If confidence, youth, speed and dash a baseball team to victory, ¥ says McCarthy, are “in.” The National League pilot be- lieves the squad has improved both ely and offensively over He has added the vet- d colorful “Kiki? Cuyler, ord every ardent baseball ’s, and a number of minor ers who bring much to the various departments. Cuyler stepped from the Pitts- burgh Pirate bench to a regular berth as right fielder for the Chi- cago Club. McCarthy says without ; question that the injection of the '1925 world’s series hero into the | lincup will improve the cubs’ power jto a great degree. The former | Buccaneer has been using his jbludgeon with much vigor and suc- ‘cess in spring training here. Strong on the Mound in the pitching department “arthy thinks the greatest improvement will be in evidence. Two hurlers who met with misfor- tune to their throwing arms during the latter part of the s a have returned to form, while eteran Guy Bush is back from i... hospi- tal, and Harold Carlson has returned from a jaunt into other territory. Southpaw Percy Lee Jones and Bob Osborne, handicapped last year by sore arms, are showing a world of stuff. McCarthy considers Charley Root, winner of more games last season than any other Nation- al League pitcher, as good or better than he was in the 1927 pennant i campaign, ° A lack of relief hurlers, brought forward as one reason for the Cubs’ | Jailure to take the gonfalon last sea- son, has been remedied by the addi- tion of Perce Malone, obtained from | the: Minneapolis club together with 1a record of twenty victories and the title of strikeo~t king of the Amer- ican association. Malone pitched in some 53 games in the double A. tj league last year, and will see con- siderable relief work on the mound for the cubs. The sharpshooting John “Sheriff” Blake again will be a mainstay of the twirling corps, while the form- ;er Giant, Art Nehf, who was a free j agent in 1927, may contribute to ‘the Cubs’ win column. { Infield Layout The infield staff is one McCarthy has not definitely decided upon but 16 YEAR OLD THRILLS Bradenton, Fla—Joe Cicero, year old rookies from Atlantic City, is a bright prospect for the Boston 16 { Red Sox. Joe took a club almost as big as himself in yesterday’s game with the Buffalo Bisons and wal- loped out a homer that was good for three runs. ROOKS TAKE FOURTH Paso Robles, Calif.—The rookies of the Pittsburgh Pirates made it four straight yesterday when they won the intra-club game from the jregulars, 9 to 4. The regulars have | yet to take a practice game. DETROIT CONSIDERS TRADES San Antonio, Tex.—Part of De- troit’s surplus infield and outfield material may be bartered for pitch- ers, the management has indicated. The team has two men of marked ability for each infield and outfield berth but the raw pitching material in camp has been a disappointment.

Maguire came from Toledo with a batting average of -826, McMillan from St., Paul with .305, and Butler from Brooklyn in the National League where his stick work for the season averaged -239. McMillan was the keyman of @ combination that last year in the American Association set a world’s record for double plays. Outfield Looks G As is the case of the infield, the outer garden looks strong both de- fensively and offensively. Me- Carthy has three right handed hit- ters and two who swing from the port side of the plate. Jackson lines up “Riggs” Stephenson, who ranked as; the fourth best batsman in the -344, seems secure in left field. The rotund Hack Wilson, whose stick work averaged .317, has the call in center, and Cuyler is certain in right. In addition, McCarthy has Earl Webb and Cliff Heathcote for fly chasing work. Miguel Gonzales, Cuban, and Charles “Gabby” Hartnett form a first string catching duo.

Peach Springs was today’s desti- nation of the athletes crossing the continent under their own power in quest of the total $48,500 i:. prizes to be distributed among the first ten.

Seitz - sustained a __ severely sprained ankle late yesterday after- noon on the Brave drilling floor just before the practice session was about to close. Examination by a doctor night revealed that several last liga- ments were torn in the ankle and and he immediately ordered the crack shot of the Braves to bed. Mandan’s hopes for the state championship received a severe blow when the news of Scitz’s loss per- meated throughout the city and to- day the fans are speculating on Coach Leonard McMahan’s ability to replace his lost forward. Seitz Was Outstanding Seitz was the outstanding star of the Mandan team in the district tournament. He was also the high scorer of the tourney and was named one of the 10 outstanding players on the floor. There is but slight hope that he will be able to participate in the games. Mandan drew what is regarded ; by many fans as the eventual cham- pion of the tourney—Grand Forks— | for the first game. If Mandan can beat the Forkers there is a possi- bility that Seitz may be able to join his cage brethern for the semifinals on Saturday but no hope is held out for his appearance against Bob Cortright’s quint. Russell and Morris were the first call substitutes during the, district meet and it is likely that one or the other will be sent to Seitz’s post by McMahan. Both boys are young- sters with little experience but they play hard basketball and the incen- tive to fight may prove them worthy of the injured star’s position, Jake Schaefer Plays Superb Billiards to Catch Ed Horemans San Francisco, March 14.—@)— Champion Jacob Schaefer played superb billiards to overcome chal- Jenger Edouard Horemans big lead and win the third block of their championship match here by the score of 900 points to 855.
