Eight cinder men and tennis stars were anxiously await- ing the outcome of a last-:ninute roundup of automobi'es not knowing definitely or not just who would be sent to Fargo. In the face of a heavy wind that swept Hughes Field Wednesday ift ernoon, Coach McLeod had a diffi- cult job of selecting the squad of 10 men that will carry the Demon col- ors into the Gato City meet. The men chosen and the events that they will enter foilow: Renser, con- nt | 440 and 880; H. Brown, high and low hurdles; Davis, 220 and 440; Green, 440; Jacobson, pole vault and high jump; Meinhover, discus, shot put and javelin; Roberts, mil and broad jump; Sell 100 and 220; E. Spriggs, 220, high jump and broad jump; York, 880 and mile. Send Relay Team Bismarck will enter its crack te- lay team which should be able to compete with the best of them. The composition is Davis, Green, Spriggs and Sell. Special practicing of pass- ing the baton this week should en- able the team to hop off several seconds in the time that it made at last Saturday's meet. Mandan will probably send Wil- liams, high jumper; Borresen, high jump and pole vault; McKednry, 100 yard dash and low and high hurdles; Jarvis, 100 and 220; Helbling, d cus and javelin; and Heidt, d javelin, shot put and broad jump. Other possibilit McDonald and Fleck, sprinters, Billy Russell and Jack Stephens! compose the tennis squad and will| enter both the singles and doubles. While no Bismarck tennis team will be sent to rgo, a large squad of the net stars are engaged in an elimination tournament this week under the direction of W. G. Fulton to see who shall represent the lo- cals in the state tourney that will be held at the University of North Dakota on May 17, 18 and 19. aennis Mcct Progresses In first round matches yesterday in the singles, Jansonius beat Kiesel, 3-6; 6-3; 6-1 while Bob Larson trimmed Tony Faber, 6-1; 6-3.

Feature Engagements Wed- nesday Find Giants Shutting Out Pirates 6 to 0 and Charlie Root Pitching Cubs to 2 to 1 Victory Over Brooklyn in 12 Innings (By The Associated Press) The American League was ready today to join the National in a con- tinuation of the intersectional war- fare which has been waged on the two pennant fronts for a week. Rain and cold yesterday prevented ac-| tion in the American League sector, where the Yankees and the Indians | are engaged in a hand-to-hand! struggle for the lead, but teams in| The feature engagements of the afternoon saw Virgil Barnes pitch the Giants to a 6 to 0 victor over the Pirates in a game where the lead of the league was at stake and found Buzz McWeeney and Charlie Root locked in a rare pitching duel in Chicago. ‘The gray-haired Brook- lyn scuthpaw yielded to the Cubs, 2 to 1, in the twelfth. Strategy Spoiled After pitching magnificent ball for eight innings, McWeeney skated on thin ice from the ninth to the twelfth.. A hit meant the ball game at almost any time in this period, and McWeeney finally yielded to Gonzales. Webb opened the twelfth with a double and advanced on Hack Wilson's sacrifice fly. Robby then called for the old army game and two men were passed to make a play possible at any base. zales spoiled this fine strategy with a Texas league single to cen‘er. The victory marked the second straight for the Cubs over Brooklyn, and gave Charlie Root his third suc- cess of the season. Virgil Barnes gladdened the heart of John McGraw by the craft of his curves against the Pirates. The Giants, still shy two regulars through influenza and injuries, pre- sented a patched-up fighting front, but Barnes did so well that almost any sort of backing could have won for him. Almost from the start it seemed to be only a question of how long it would take the Giants to get a run from Joe Dawson. As the game was played they got two in the sec- ond and two in the fourth off Daw- son and two more in the eighth off Young Brame, his relief. Barnes Does Fine Work Barnes pitched hitless ball for five innings, and gave only five safe drives through the entire game. Tho Pirates filled the bases in the seventh, but a pinch hitter for Daw- son failed to pinch. The Braves lost their fifth straight game when Eppa Rixey The chestnut colt provides his owner, Leo J.

In the south and west he was a baseball player. “I have played golf since I was | about 12 years old,” said Sweetser, “but never gave much serious at-| jtention to the game until I came east to live. In Kentucky , where \I was born, I played baseball and at | St. Louis, my next residence, I still! | liked baseball more than golf. “In the east, there is not room “or ‘baseball, so I had to give up |thoughts of becoming a Major league star and then had more time |for golf, with some running on the side. I thought I was quite a sprinter, but pulled a tendon at Yale and could not run any more. The baseball season was too far gone to try to do any serious play- ing there, so I then specialized in golf and have majored in that Sport ever since.” “What position did you play in baseball?” Jess was asked. “Pitcher and catcher.” It was suggested that the com- bination was a bit unusual. Brother Was Boss “Well, you see,” the golf star ex- plained, “my older brother was a pitcher too, and when I played with his gang, he invoked the seniority rule and forced me to catch. When he was not in the game, I pitched.” The specialization in golf bore almost immediate results for in 1920, Sweetser won the intercolle- iate championship for Yale. He had failed to qualify in the Nation- al Amateur in 1919 but the momen- tum of his college triumph, the next. year, carried him into the amateur event and to the third round where he was defeated by Fred Wright. |ager of the Bismarck club, jNovember 24, the date Baseball Clubs of Rival Cities Will Clash in Homecoming Game on Sunday, May 20, in Local Park—Athletic Prece- dent Is Reversed by Sched- uled Battle Reversing the usual order of ath- letic rivalry between Bismarck and Mandan, the baseball teams of the Twin Cities of the Missouri will clash in the first home game of the season here on Sunday, May 20, Officially designated as Home- coming Day, Neil Churchill, man- an- nounced today that special cere- monies will mark the 1928 inaugural of America’s national sport in the Capital City. It_is likely that both Governor ceremonies. In addition to the pres- ence of prominent state and city | officials, music will be furnished by one of the local bands to add a gala aspect to the greeting that will be given the rival ball teams. In selecting the crack team that| first game, Churchill has performed a bit of diamond diplomacy. Sets New Precedent For many years past it has been the custom in football, basketball and other inter-city sports to save the first meeting of respective teams to the latter part of the sea-: son. In that way a championship! game has been worked up. While championship games have been played in first rounds of var-| ious sports and titles have been de- cided in the opening brackets of tournaments, it is not likely that the baseball championship of west-! ern North Dakota or even of the; two cities will be decided on May 20.) Crowning of a baseball champion! must wait until the final games of | the annual baseball tournament is played sometime in August and then! the title-holder may not be either! Bismarck or Mandan, Churchill said. “All of the old rivalry will there,” said Churchill. “The old! park.

Frogs may be captured in a num- ber of ways. They may be netted with a fine cloth mesh at the end of a six-foot pole. They can be shot with CB caps in a .22 gun or an air gun. They can be speared or caught in small traps. In the case of the big bullfrogs they can be “fished” Mandan is organizing to play the| for with a long pole, line and fish- | hook “baited” with a chunk of red flannel. The little leopard frog, well- named because of its leopardlike body markings, does not grow as large as the bullfrog, but it is the most delicious eating. This species frequents the grassy spots around a lake, pond, pool or other small body of water. In such a location a net is the most efficient weapon to use to catch them. To get the greatest amount of fun out of the chase for the weary hoppers, “fishing” for them is com- parable to dropping a line for a nice pass. Rig up the old cane pole with a line, hook and piece of red flan- nel. The trick is to dangle the red flannel under the eyes of Mr. Frog and then strike when he strikes. The result is a dandy mess of frogs which will yield a skillet full of “breast of chicken.” Frogs’ legs are small but oh! so ‘ood. The meat is white and firm fight and the color will pervade the | resembling the color of a well-fryed pike steak. They are easily cleaned and eaten. : Here’s the way to cook frog’s legs: After skinning, soak them for an hour in cold water, to which vine- gar has been added or put in boil- ing vinegar water for two minutes. Wipe dry, roll in flour, and fry islowly in butter. Salt and pepper to taste. Majors Are After Him One of the most eagerly sought after college stars this season is George Manfredi of New York Uni- versity. He won his first five games this year, and has been offered con- tracts by several major league clubs. tions in additi- 1 to the Notre Dame and Alabama games, which are scheduled far earlier in the sea- son. The board of regents, following a delay in the new field house project, approved a plan which calls for the immediate construction of 4,000 con- crete seats in Camp Randall sta- dium and an improvement of locker room facilities. Thirty thousand dollars will be spent in filling in the present west stands with concrete, improv- ing the temporary wooden bleach- ers in the upper sections, and the constructing of new storerooms, showers, and other accommodations for varsity teams under the east stands. Wilcey Moore Likes Indians “Any club getting the pitching Cleveland is getting these days is hard to beat,” says Wilcey Moore, with the New York Yankees. He thinks the Indians are a cinch for a first sion berth this year. In 1921, he again moved on to the third round in the amateur where he ran into Chick Evans and there- after joined the gallery for the rest of the championship. Jess is one month younger than emerged on top in a pitching battle against Genewich. The score was 4 to 1, Rixey gave way to a sub- stitute runner after inserting a single into an_eighth-inning rally which netted Cincinnati three runs and the ball game. There was no news in St. Louis. The Cardinals won as they pleased from the Phils, and they pleased 7 to 1. Littlejohn started his first game of the season for the Cards, and the net result proves he could have chosen no finer spot. to reach either the challenes round or the final, except in 1913 when they were beaten by the United States in the first round. Austra- lia has won the cup six times. The hero of Italy’s surprising vietory was Baron Hubert de Mor- <tgo, who scored two of his coun- bys three singles victories and, Caslini, won the doubles. The ung Australian star, Pat Craw- dora, was the only Anzac to win a match. De Morpurgo’s 1-6, 6-4, 6-3, 2-6 6-1 victory over the veteran Gerald Patterson provided one of the tennis thrills ever seen made. Htesd, followed with -& te. body, gave W. L. a at Meoes, Ga.

Bobby Jones but he beat the great Atlanta golfer to a national title by winning the amateur in 1922. Bobby did not start his string of successes until the nex year. Won British Amateur His greatest golfing triumph was the capture of the British amateur in 1926. He had to fight against influenza, and a sprained knee all the way, and an injured wrist from the semi-final to the end. The British amateur cup had vis- ited the United States 22 years be- fore in the custody of W. J. Travis but Travis was a native of Aus- tralia, so Sweetser was the first home bred to bring the cup back with him. This was also a costly triumph for Sweetser. He paid for it with a year’s’ absence from the game and some anxious moments for his health. He found the cold, followed by influenza, hard to shake off and he returned home a very sick man. As a result of his long illness, he played no important golf last year but by watching his step and spending many months in the south, Bradford, Pa—Jimmy Slat- te, ee SRS ked oa Is oo Y Fort Wayne, Ind.—Corporal bod hava, New York, won rom Etherton, Indian- apolis 0). ‘i Tol Feld a tet, O--Corsclt man, Marands, G: Mich. outpeinted Harold To- ie Gu ate” Soe trolt, drew (6). he is fit again and ready for an am- bitious come-back campaign this year.
