PAGE SIX : THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK CLUB SHOULD DEFEAT VISITING TEAM Karasiewicz Makes Plea for) Final Splurge of Local Team Support FINALS AT MINOT! Bismarck’s Four Teams Just About ‘on Rocks’ After Financial Failure The Lion Tamers, undefeated | baseball team in Bismarck’s Ameri- | yan Legion junior league, will meet} he best of two junior teams from| inton at the Bismarck athletic | field Wednesday at 6 p.m. for the right to enter the district finals, which will be held here Thursday. The winner of the district finals here Wednesday will go to Minot to compete for the state champion- fship July 28 and 29, The winner of tomorrow’s game} will play either Harvey, Goodrich, or Heaton, depending on how the elimination games of the three teams turn out. Disappointed in Support } John Karasiewicz, local manager, said yesterday that he and the four Bismarck teams have been disap- jointed in the support given the aseball movement here. “At least | 800 fans turned out for every game that the Linton teams played,” hej said, “while the Bismarck teams | have had no more than half a dozen followers.” The Bismarck manager and the boys on the teams have stood the expense of the league, there being no income from gate receipts to keep the game alive. The manager's plea for automobiles in which to take the two junior teams to Linton Sun- day passed ignored, and the two teams were crowded into the only cars available for the trip. Each boy had to pay for his own dinner at Linton. Should Bismarck win the district tournament, Karasiewicz says, they will have a difficult time scratching u enough money for the Minot trip. Wants Big Turnout Pleading for a large turnout for ‘the elimination and district games ‘Wednesday night and Thursday, Ka- Tasiewicz announced yesterday that a small charge would be made at the gate for expenses. Bismarck’s team practiced last night and will practice tonight, pre- paring to give the visiting team a _series of surprises. Karasiewicz ex- pects them to win the district cham- Ppionship, though Linton has won the only game plaved with them this year. !

J, July 24—(7)— Blunt Tom Heeney, unaccustomed to camouflaging his thoughts when in- terviewers ply him with questions, frankly admitted today that he is in the best condition of his fighting ca- reer, ready and eager to give Gene Tunney the battle of his life when they meet in the Yankee Stadium Thursday night for the world’s heavyweight. champonship. The six weeks’ training campaign of this good natured, rockribbed New Zealander is over. He is glad of it. He finished his boxing yes- terday. Today there was nothing for him to do but take a 15 minute workout in the gymnasium with no more work with the gloves. Tomor- row will be a day of complete relax- ation with not even a gesture of training. The old hard rock, whose rugged features are furrowed with lines that reveal the near approach to the peak of condition, said he had not set plans about his task of knocking Tunney off the heavyweight throne. Getting the feel of Tunney is a para- mount question of his battle strategy Will Feel Gene Out “I have some ideas of course,” the challenger said, “but they probably won't amount to much for the first three or four rounds until I get the feel of Tunney. “One of my ideas is that -he is not going to hit me very often with any one punch. Anybody can hit me a few times with any kind of a blow, but nobody can keep it up. “Blast me, if I don’t show you Americans that I’m no sucker for a left hook or a right cross. If Tun- ney believes he can wear me down with rids to the head I am going to discourage him.” Heeney is genuinely confident of his ability to beat Tunney and bases his conclusion on one thought that has secretly convinced him that he will become world’s heavyweight champion. That thought is, he be- E | lieves boxers are easier for him than fighters, and Tunney is a boxer rather than a fighter. Heeney cherishes a letter received from Tob Gibbons, once a contender for the heavyweight title, the only man besides Tunney to face Demp- sey as champion, and be on his feet at the finish. It will be no surprise to Gibbons if Heeney defeats Tun- ney. He worked with the New Zea- lander while in London four years ago preparing for a fight with Jack Bloomfield. Tom Isn't Kidding “Believe me, you have a good chance,” Gibbons wrote. “I’m not kidding you, you won’t find Tunney the greatest champion of all time. I know that wheh it is all over, Mr. Tunney will know that he has been in a fight.” Gibbons advised the invader not to be “what the boys around the cor- ner call a ‘good fellow’ because when you are broke they will be the first to turn you down.” Leo P. Flynn, who trained Jack Dempsey for his seeond battle with Tunney, takes issue with the E| Manassa Mauler over Heeney’s pros- pects. Dempsey gave him an even chance, while Flynn, a veteran hand- ler of boxers, unhesitatingly picks Tunney to win on points. “Heeney, to me, has no more as- sets than an honest village black- smith,” Flynn said. “Tunney will lick him sure, but may not knock him out.” \ “Al" may wia— TOM MOO CiCARS PRISON TEAM BEATS LINTON All-Star hurler, Glenn, Prison [knocked a home run with one man jon base in the eleventh inning to win his own game against Linton, 10 to 8, last weck-end.

GENE DECEIVES MANAGER BILLY Speculator, N. Y., July 24.—(7)— Though the supreme test of his championship career is but 48 hours away, Gene Tunney has yet to reach the irritated stage which tradition demands of a prize fighter on edge. This unique ruler of fistiana, now self trained to the last muscle for the defense of his crown against Tom Heeney, the New Zealand chal- lenger, in the Yankee Stadium on Thursday night, has turned’ to horse play to divert his mind from the contest. His victim was Billy Gib. son, his manager. Gene Gets Funny Knowing Gibson’s aversion to fly- ing, Tunney caused a fake telegram to be sent to his manager containing a famous aviator’s offer to make a specal flight up here to carry him back to New York as a reward for his deep interest in aviation. Gibson was flustrated when he re- ceived the bogus invitation. He de- liberated over the message for many minutes before showing it to Tun- ney, who, in urging him to accept the offer, pointed out that it would be the height of discourtesy to de-j cline the invitation of a national hero. This argument finally overcame Gibson’s objections and he com- posed a wire of acceptance which delighted Tunney and his assistant jesters. Tunney will taper off until Thurs- day morning at 10 o'clock when he will take off from Lake Pleasant in a dual motored Sikorsky Amphibian piloted by Bill Winston, Curtiss field flyer, who was operating the Lion Tamers Meet Linton in Elimination Game Here Wednesday - IMINOTER HURLS NO-HIT CONTEST Tioga Plays in Magic City for lane which crashed into a tree near hare last week, causing slight injur- jes to himself and Charles V.
