Local Promoter C LOCAL WELTER PLANS TO WHIP CLASSY MIXER Ted Sheldon, Who Is Staging Card, Says It Is His First Attempt 5 BOUTS PLANNED Short-Musky and Spare-Parks Fights Give Promise of Action One of the best fights Bismarck | has had in a long time. That is the way ‘Ted Sheldon, | Promoter, describes the boxing | match between Lee Cavanagh, Bis- | marck pride welterweight, and Felix Byrnes, South Dakota pounder, which will be staged at the Bis- marck auditorium Friday night. “I saw those two boys p to! a draw at Gascoyne not long ago, | and it certainly was a great exhi- bition. Lee had the cage on tne South Dakota hoy in spite of the judges’ decision. I am happy that Krause backed out of the fight, for Byrnes is a much better fighter and will make the fight interesting.” Skeldon went on to say that this | is the first fight he has ever pro- moted. He said he had no idea he would ever promote a fight, but he decided to do it after seeing the two serappers put on their show at Gas- coyne. Cavanagh is, working out daily in | . W. Roberts’ gymnasium in prep- aration for the 10-round bout. Lee | lost his first fight to Felix, drew in! the second, and plans to lick his; cepennt in his third try here. He is meeting a capable opponent | in Byrnes, who is not a setup in the boxing world, being clever, rugged, | and having years of i Lu has put in a hard mmer’s work getting in shape for his winter fisti, campaign and he is eager to fe recognized as North Dakota's welter- weight champion. He is dickering for matches with both Tiger Johnny Compton and Herman Ratzlaft, Minot pugilists. The two fast preliminary announced on the Cavanagh: card will be staged in connection with the main bout Friday night. Indian Tommy Short, Fort Yates, will meet Kid Musky, Wilton, in a six-round battle. They weigh be- tween 140 and 145 pounds. Soldier Spare will attempt to win another decision over Battling Cecil Parks in another six-round contest. They are Fort Lincoln fighters, hav- ing been prominent figures on the . post smoker cards last spring. Spare the classiest welterweight in the army camp, and Parks was a figure in two headline middleweight fights with Bob Nicholson during the sol- dier season. Spare won a close | decision over Parks in their last en- | counter. Parks weighs 148 and Spare 144, Two four-round bouts are being arranged to open the show, making the card a 30-rounder. LITTLE SERIES OUTFITS READY, Indianapolis Has Advantage of Two Games to One Over Rochester Indianapolis, Oct. 3.-—(4)—Rested two days idleness, Rochester and Indianapolis, winners respectively of the pennants in the International wue and the American Associa- tion today were cocked to go in the fifth game of the little world’s series here. The contest was set for 2 o'clock central standard time. The local club had an edge on its eastern rival, with two victories and one defeat. The other contest ended in a tie. Today's game will be the first played in Indianapolis. ight, hot weather was promised by game time. It looked as though Danny Boone, young right hander would be on the slab at the start for Indianapolis. McCracken who was if the only victory has scored over the In- dians was due to take another whirl at the home boys. Today’s game will be the last in which the players will get a share of the receipts.

Tick- ets for single games are also on sale. The serics begins on the score- board at 12:30 p. m. tomorrow, with the St. Lotifs’ Cardinals and the New York Yankees meeting in the first game in the Yankee Stadium, New York City. : The Cardinals under the manager- ship of Bill McKechnie will try to bring another world’s championship to St. Louis and the National league in the coming race, and they are’ fa- vored by the fans to do so. Two years ago the Cardinals won the se- ries from the Yanks. World series victories stand 13 to 10 in favor of the American league at present. — The Cardinals are favored to win because of greater strength on the mound and because of Yankee in- juries. Wee Willie Sherdel, Grover Cleveland Alexarder, and Clarence Mitchell are a great pitching trio for the St. Louis club while Hoyt is the only dependable hurler Huggins has. St. Louis will also compare favor- ably at bat with the New Yorkers, fans think. Jim Bottomley, Hafey, and High are especially good with the bat. The Yankees have cleverly - built up an alibi already because of their numerous injuries, And it is true that they are handicapped. If St. Louis wins now, fans will think, it is possible, that any team should have won over the crippled oppon- ents. If they lose,,so much the worse. If the Yankees win they will be heroes to win in face of such odds, and if thev lose they will :prob- ably be excused. he reports on the electric score- board will show every pitched ball, every hit, misplay, and score.

Close Game Expected Mandan travels to Jamestown} jaturday to clash with the Bluejays in a contest which Len McMahan, Brave coach, says “should be close.” McMahan says the two teams are apparently on a par in weight, and the Jimmies have the advantage in lettermen returning and in general experience. With Vosika, giant tackle, out-of the game indefinitely after he tore ligaments in his right knee in the Brave-Demon game Saturday, the Brave mentor is grooming Mees to replace the veteran. Mees played a nice game against Bismarck for three and « half quarters after he replaced the regular. Vosika, however, is only casualty, and the same team which finished the game against Bis- marck will charge into the Bluejays this week end.

The game most talked of, however, is the Bismarck-Fargo tilt at the Capital City. Béth Fargo and Bis- marck boast of. strong teams this year, Fargo developing from mater- ial which was not so promising at the beginning of the season, and team which is exceptionally large for North Dakota high school com- petition. The other two choice ‘games will find Minot at Devils Lake and Man- dan at Jamestown. Grand Forks will play another Minnesota team Friday when it plays host to Crookston. The Fork- ers defeated Thief River Falls handily, 18 to 3, last week end, but could not keep the Thieves from crossing their goal. Little is known of Crookston’s prowess.

Fans hesitate to choose between Fargo’s Midgets and Bismarck’s Demons before the game is begun, | but Fargo is generally being favored in the contest, due to greater speed and more reserve strength. Bis- marck, with its bulky eleven, is ready to strike a fast pace and the Fargo team, if victorious as in past . will have to step along at a snappy pace. Coach Roy McLeod of the Demons is making no pre- dictions other than that his team is going to do its best in the coming game. The Demons were unimpres- sive in their 12 to 0 victory. over Mandan last Saturday. Whipping Casselton 51 to 0 last jay, Fargo showed tremendous Power and drive. Several stars, such as Gerteis, Bud Weibel, Cap- tain Folendorf, Marty Enders and Junie Wilson came into the _lime- light in that contest. And Benny Mellon, at the helm, was no slouch Bart McLeod’s Bluejays seem to have great power this season. Though they defeated their alumni only 6 to 0, last week they trounced the Jamestown College freshmen by a 39 to 0 count. Mandan whipped Washburn 41 to 0 before dropping the 12 to 0 contest to the Demons. McMahan's eleven is weak in the halfback department but has a nice quarter and fullback in McDonald and Helbling. The line is not as small as has been indicated, aver- aging close to 160 pounds, and the linemen displayed nice football last week end. Fleck is back in the game after an injury at Washburn and will continue to do the punting for the eleven. Bart McLeod has two great back- fullback, Withnell, halfback, and Nelson, end. Each scored two touchdowns against the Jimmie frosh. Schwartz also has been play- ing a nice game at halfback and is a threat with his. drop kicking toe. The Blue-Jay-Brave game is being waiched with interest about the state. Nodak Freshmen Will Don Customary Green Grand Forks, N, Dak., Oct. 3.— Freshmen at the University of North Dakota will not be subjected to in- dividual hazing this year, it has been determined by: the sophomore class, who came to that decision at a meet- ing held last. week. Green caps must be worn by all first year men students this year, in the football language. . Minot Is. Favored Minot. is favored to whip Devils Lake, although it is generally agreed that the Satzns will give the Magi- cians a hard rub. After losing to Moorhead: two weeks ago, the Sa- tans came back to wallop Hillsboro st week 26 to 0, which bespeaks considerable. improvement. Minot had its hands full in whipping the Mohall Yellowjackets 25 to 6 in a Saturday fray at the Magic City. The Mandan-Jamestown game will be one of the closest games over the week end if critics this year are dependable. Both teams appear to be about the same weight, and they both wil put up a game battle at the Stutsman county city. Valley City travels to Moorhead for another important game which has no bearing on North Dakota “dope.” Moorhead is expected to win a hard-fought contest. Breck- enridge, Minn., will be the guest of Hillsboro, while La Moure en- tertains Frederick, S. D. Fred. erick lost a 7 to 6 game to Leola, S. D., last week end, after a fumble resulted in a Leola counter. New Rockford meets Minnewaukan, a beginner in high school circles, while Linton takes on the Jamestown Col- lege Freshmen. Kenmare is expect- ed to win at bells. Early prediction proved accurate last week end, Bismarck and Minot Winnieg hard games from Mandan ind hall, with the rest of the favorites winning handily.

D., Oct. 3.—(P) — Approximately 30,000 people are expected to see the University of North Dakota grid team play in Memorial Stadium here this fall, nearly twice the number that could be accommodated during a five game home schedule in the wooden stands in use before the new mod- ern stadium was completed last year. Last season the total attendance at home games played by the Flick- ertails was more than 20,000 and the ticket sales for the big game this fall shows that figure will be ex ceeded by a considerable number. North Dakota’s memorial stadium is being used this year for the sec- ond season, the stands being com. pleted for the eee of the 1927 schedule, but the training quarters housed within thestructure are being put into actual use for the first time, giving the Nodaks facilities for housing and training teams equal to most of the larger institu- cor tions of the country. A drive among North Dakota alumni throughout this state and Minnesota, who signed pledges to the campaign, will be opened accord- ing to Jack Stewart who is manag- ing the drive. Many alumni have failed to keep pace with their in- stallments after leaving school, he said, and if the campaign manage- ment is to meet its full note on part. of the cost of the project nearly’. $5,000 must be ecllected by Novem- A total of $35,000 must be paid November 1 on the loans borrowed to build the stadium, $5,000 .of which is the quota set to be collect- ed from alumni subscribers. ljoore will iy People's | ——— __ are, and“; as Laie, as you oi mr’ vote of such en indication of your : Chenterfields of the Byrd Expedition: continue to “Sate two years shead, best of fortunein better testimonial could there be than your great advencure anda safe return, -ANYBODY—AND YET THEY SATISFY
