MacGREGOR “Hail, the Conquering He- roes Come.” is the chant at Bismarck high today, for Ro- berts and York, new idols, re- ceive the laurels for the De- mons’ last event victory in the} MACINES BOoRey fifth annual Capital City} Track and Field meet Satur- day. It was Bismarck’s fifth con- secutive triumph. It was fit- ting that victory should come with all the drama that the mile run can produce. With Mandan, ancient free- booter and nemesis of Bis- marck victories, leading by four points, a field of 35 dis- tance stars was called to the mile post. On the shoulders of Slattery, Roberts and York rested victory or defeat for the Demons. For three laps, the lanky Irish- ™man paced the field. On the final lap with Borresen of Mandan Steadily pressing to the front, Roberts and York sprinted passed the tuckered pace-setter to break tape in one-two order and Bor- Fessen came in third. The final tally stood 39 points for Bismarck and 36 points for the Braves. “y Four Records Set Four new records were written in the books. Borresen of Mandan on his third and last try, sailed 10 feet, 71-2 inches to better the pole vault mark by 7 1-2 inches. Jacobson of Bismarck was sccond with a vault of 10 feet, four inches. Five seconds were lopped off the mile figure by Roberts in his meet-winning run. Three feet was added to the discus throw by the gigantic Meinhover of Bismarck. Bismarck’s relay team sheared off .6 of a second in the half-mile relay. Another record that was broken was attendance both of schools and ¢ontestants. It was by far the largest meet that has ever been held in western or central North Dakota and heralds the day when the Capital City meet will take rank with those at Fargo and Grand Forks. While there were thrilling races fn nearly every event, there were no really outstanding individual per- formances as far as time or dis- tance was concerned. at am am a 8 8 vee McKendry, Green Star To McKendry of Mandan and Green of Bismarck go the plaudits for outstanding individual © feats.

McKendry won individual point honors by amassing 10 points due to winning first in the 20-yard Good luck favored McKer -ry in the hurdles while sheer fate kept Polonsky of Wilton from first in this event. Grabbing an early lead over the first hurdle, the sturdy Miner from Wilton galloped around the bends inter-hurdle strides and clear-cut skips over the bar. Over the last hordle he lead Hoffman of Bismarck yard margin. Hitting a cup in the soft track at that point and only five yards from victory, Polonsky hutled prone in the cinders.

He was closely pressed by York of Bismarck and Liebig of Denhoff while the rest of the field was close on the heels of the three leaders. 5 Krein of Wishek turned in steriing performances in the shot put and discus, the husky lad from the south country showing enough form and power to rank him as one of the outstanding weight men of the state.

Helbling copped first in the javelin while ‘Heidt grabbed second in the broad jump and third in the century. Schwartz Was Good Schwartz of New Salem was an- other outstanding star of the meet. The big fellow from west of the river leaped 19 feet, four inches to victory in the board jump. Only two inches separated the three leaders—Schwartz, Heidt and Eddie Spriggs of Bismarck. Schwartz also tied for second in the high jump. Other aces of the meet were Rocky Jarvis, Mandan; Steffan, Far- rison; VanSoest, Strasburg; Wil- liams, Mandan; Ed Spriggs, marck; Kuhn, Napoleon, Reimche, McClusky.

NEIL (Associated Press Sports Writer) , New York, May 7.—(AP)—The intellectual restrictions of the box- ing game are weighing down upon Gene Tunney and if need for mental exercise, unrequited in the fight “racket”, spills over into study of the classics and lectures before Shakespearean students, then that’s the fault of the game alone. In a contemplative mood, the big heavyweight champion who soon must lay aside study of the gentler arts to prepare for defense of his title against the rugged Tom Heeney, stretched on a sofa in his hotel apartment. In between the words he spoke lay hidden a story of disillusionment and envy that other men, more fortunate than he, still have things to strive for in their professions. “In the realm of music, art, liter- ature,” he said as he rubbed his hands slowly through his thick brown hair, last of the pompadours, “there is no top, no ultimate. A violinist of the perfection of Jas- cha Heifetz, for instance, finds new and greater vistas openfng before him as his skill increases. He is never satisfied and the finer his music, the keener his desire for even greater power.

Billings, who learned his pitching at Brown University, hurled the Tigers to a 3 to 0 victory over the Red Sox at Detroit yesterday and would have had a no-hit game to his credit if Buddy only had deserted the opposition for the day. Billings allowed but two hits and both went to Meyer. They were singles and Buddy got no further than first base for his pains. Settlemire started for Boston but was derricked with one out in the second inning after he had given up three hits and walked four men. Bradley fine ball for the Sox the rest Sixty thousand persons, including the famous crew of the Bremen, watched the New Ycrk Yankees sub- due the Chicago White Sox for the third day in a row, 4 to 2, at the Yanked stadium. It was a tough one for Red Faber, Chicago veteran, He was touched for only but these included homers by Gehrig and Dugan, the former's being his third of the season. Stan- ley Coveleskie, veteran Pole, got credit for the Yankee victory al- though he had to call for assistance from Wilcy Moore before the game was over. The Sox got nine hits in- cluding a circuit drive by Barrett. Babe Ruth went hitless in two offi- cial trips to the plate. Browns Beat Senators Sam Gray registered his sixth win of the season when the St. Louis Browns turned back the Senators at Washington, 7 to 6, in a thrilling 11- inning game. Gray was constantly in difficulties but always managed to pull through. His single in the eleventh put Schang in a position to score the winning run on O'Rourke's sacrifice. Bucky Harris, pilot of the Senators, handled 12 chances at second base and got two hits, one a triple with the bases loaded. The New York Giants, National League leaders, suffered their sec- “But it takes little mentality to be a boxer and no more than that to be a champion. There is but one peak, one final goal in the fight game, and that of course, is the heavyweight championship. “On the way up there is the in- centive to struggle for physical fit- ness, the mental keenness, that will bring about final victory and the wealth that comes with the title. And even that achievement is per- mitted only a heavyweight, for there are none but synthétic champions in other classes, mere subdivisions to the one class that rules all fight- ing men, physically and financially. Keeping One's Head “The true champion knows how to take care of himself in trouble. Sometimes he will be hit and hurt. Every time I fought I was hit, no natter who my opponent was, some- imes harder than others, but often enough to learn that ability to keep one’s head when the going gets hottest is the prime mental requisite of a champion. “Now that I am the titleholder, however, I can find no other intellec- tual stimulus. to boxing I have drawn an element never before attracted, the higher type of citizens who once looked up- Long ago I gave up the thought of True, I believe that | load ond straight defeat at Cincinnati, 4 to 3, in 10 innings.

Kuck surpassed by an inch the mark he sct last week at Frenso, Calif. The record he shattered at that time, 51 feet 1-2 inch, made by Ralph Rose, had stood since 1909. KANSAS CITY BLUES BACK IN LOOP LEAD} Doubleheader Victory Over Louisville Gives Margin cf One Game (By the Associated Press) After but one day’s absence, the Kansas City Blues were back in first place in the American Associa-| tion pennant scramble today. St. Paul took the lead Saturday by winning over Columbus, while the Blues were idle. Yesterday, Kansas City won a_ doubleheader over Louisville, while St. Paul’s eight-game winning streak was halted by Columbus, dropping the Saints to second place and hoisting the Blues to first. Both Kansas City’s victories were! close. The first game was won, F to 4, and the second, 2 to 1, in 11 innings. Kenneth Ash, a young pitcher recently acquired by Colum- bus from Cincinnati, held the Saints to three hits. The score was 1 to 0. By taking a twin bill from Indian- apolis, 11 to 7 and 2 to 1, in seven innings, Milwaukee went into third place and the Indians dropped to fourth. Ferdie Schunp of the In- dians struck out 11 Brewers in the second game, but couldn’t keep the six hits he allowed to be scattered. Toledo defeated Mineapolis, 5 to 1, through Ryan’s effective pitching and climbed to within 12 points of sixth place.

Split Double Bill At St. Louis, the Cardinals and Brooklyn Robins divided a double header before 33,000 fans. Dazzy Vance allowed but six hits and fanned a half dozen in the first game but lost the decision to Grover Alexander and the Birds, 4 to 2. Roettger’s homer in the second inning gave the Cards an early lead and three hits in the eighth settled the issue. In the closing encounter, Babe Herman's four-base drive with @ man on base in the eighth enabled the Robins to earn a 5 to 4 decision. Hafey drove in four runs with a homer and a single. Pat Malone, American Association strike-out artist, threw a fast ball past the Phillies for five innings as the Chicago Cubs eked out a 6 to 4 decision over the invaders in 11 inn- ings. Malone relieved Sheriff Blake in the seventh with the bases led, got out of the jam with one run scored against him and then turned back the Phils the rest of the gus He fanned eight men. four other major league clubs had an open date. attempting any cleansing the game might need. “But there is no place for me to advance now in boxing.

H. C. Jones, athletic officer. Decision to hold the fistic show outside was reached at the last se- ries of bouts when fans from the ost and cities of Bismarck and andan packed the gymnasium to the rafters. It is expected that more than 500. rirrzworms will be at ring- side on the night of the 17th. From 12 to 15 bouts will be carded, Lt. Jones said. Boxing squads from the various companies have been training daily and rivalry for the post boxing championship is so keen that a series of pre-fight elimination scraps will be necessary before the principals can be an- nounced. 400 Reserved Seats For the convenience of fight ad- dicts from the Twin Citires of the Missouri, 400 seats will be placed on reserve in the post exchange on May 11. It is expected that the ducats will disappear rapidly. The gory and terrific battles staged on the first two cards have caught the fancy of the fans as no professional show has done here in years. An elevated arena will be built between two of the company bar- racks just on the edge of the parade field. Elevated seats and specially reserved sections on the barracks porches will give the spectators the finest seats possible to watch a fight card, Lt. Jones said. * New rules have been adopted for governing the entry lists. Each company boxing team will be limit- ed to 10 men and a maximum of three will be permitted in any one weight division. Adoption of these rules means that there will be entrants in every weight ranging from the lightest to the heaviest and will also bring out the best scrappers in each company, said Lt, Jones.
