BS ~MGKET SALE South/ Dakota Mauler Wired : idon Last Night That He Arrives Today AUDITORIUM READY Both Fighters Confident of Victory in Third Fight Be- tween Two With Felix Byrnes, crack South Dakota welterweight, expected to arrive here late this afternoon in Preparation for his 10-round encoun- ter with Lee Cavanagh at the Bis- marck auditorium tomorrow night, the ticket sale for the fall boxing eard was launched in earnest this Morning. Reserved seat and general ad- mission tickets for the fight are on sale at the Grand Pacific recreation parlors, the Blackstone recreation parlors, Harris and Woodmansee’s, and the McKenzie hotel. Byrnes wired from Pierre, S. D., Jast night that he expected to arrive in Bismarck late today, according to Ted P. Sheldon, local promoter. Sheldon did not know where the South Dakota veteran planned to work out when he arrived in the city, but said that he had several small gymnasiums available for his use. . Byrnes said he had been putting in a strenuous week in preparation for his go with Bismarck’s pride to- morrow night, and that he expected to knock Lee out in an early round. He said that he was eager to show the Bismarck fans a rea! fight. Cavanagh Is Eager Cavanagh, on the other hand, is just as eager to put the kayo on his opponent, and has been working out strenuously in O. W. Roberts’ gym- m the last few days in prep- ion for his big go. Lee lost to Byrnes in their first engagement and arned a draw in the second encoun- er a few weeks ago at Gascoyne. “I am guaranteeing that it is go- ing to be a real boxing show,” Shel- don said this morning. “I saw those two boys battle as Gascoyne, and I know what this engagement is go- ing to be like. They were both in and after each other with everything had. I think Lee had a little r of that fight, but the judges called it a draw.

Let ’Er Buck! 200 Animals Here orem 8 UL ae hd | 1 fic pictured above. Bismarck turned out today to witness the first annual Bismarck Stampede and Exposition at the Bismarck fair grounds. Two hundred animals were there to perform before the grand stand in fast running races, bucking contests, and rodeo features. A carnival is also set up on the grounds. ‘The grand stand and track is 74-Year-Old Texan Has the Honor of Being the First in Line for Bleacher Seats; Standing Room Limited; Sherdel, Hoyt Are Picked New York, Oct. 4.—(4)—For once in its baseball life, New York be- came a “home team” town today as! the embattled. Yankees plugged; crevices in their Harlem river citadel against an expected onslaught by the St. Louis Cardinals. Father Knickerbocker was in the first stage of his fifteenth modern world series, but it might well have been mistaken for his first, with 75,000 fans march- ing upon the Ruppert stadium eager to yell the home forces on to vic- tory. Indications of Indian summer sun- shine fired the baseball spirit as it had not been fired for years past in this vicinity. The ominous shadow of Wee Willie Sherdel, he of the left- handed magic, remained across the path of the Yankees, but New York fans were willing to string along with Waite Hoyt—and the sort of fight with which the hugmen pulled themselves along to the American League pennant by their very boot- straps. The Cardinals still were favored to take the series, but word had spread over the city of the gay capers Yankee cripples cut at the stadium yesterday when the sun- shine finally appeared and gave them a chance. Earl Combs was definitely out of the fight, with Benny Paschr! and Cedric Durst scheduled to alternate in his place, but the other Yankee cripples were up and about and the Babe was al- most playful. Standing Room Limited Limitations of standing room promised to hold the crowd about 10,000 short of the record assem- blage of 85,265 clients for the his- toric Yankee-Athletic double-header on September 9 last, but 75,000 would be just 11,400 above the pres- ent world series record held by the current contenders in the second game of their 1926 series on Sunday, October 3. Fans in bulk showed a disinclina- tion to keep an all night vigil for unreserved seats. The New York bleacher patron has learned that an early start to the stadium on the day of a game will place him among the 20,000 fortunates who see a world series game for $1. The 20,000 more choice $3 seats in unreserved sections of the grand stand always are sold out much more quickly than the bleachers, and it was around the $3 entrances that the greater number of early comers congregated today before time for the gates to open.

The appearan New York for Once Is Home Team as Yanks and Cards Line Up tor Opener had the honor of being the first in line for the bleacher tickets. Neither of the rival managers had j any deviation to announce from Bins made yesterday, although both McKechnie and Huggins attempted to be evasive regarding pitching se- lections. Hoyt and Sherdel were unanimously chosen by the grand; stand managers, and this fixed the batting order of the contenders. The Yankees have two pcsitions— third base and center tield—where the performer will be soveined by the rival pisunk. Against the southpaw Sherdel Paschal will play center and Dugan third. Durst will relieve Paschal and Robertson takes Dugan's place when right handers are in the St. Louis box. For the Cardinals, Harp- er will have the right field patrol against normal pitching and Hcim will get in against Zachary. Huggins reaffirmed his intention to lead off with Paschal or Durst and follow through with the rest of the batting order just as it was at the close of the season, rather than make a shift to promote Koening to the lead-off post. McKechnie’s battle array will preserve the line- up which clinched the pennant for| the Cardinals. Fans Are Won Won to the Yankees by their tre- mendous stand against the Athletics four weeks ago when three out of four were taken by the Hugmen from: their most dangerous rivals, New York fans worked an enthusi- ‘asm unprecedented in recent base- ball history. The game fight of the lugmen through the west in the face of obstacles sealed the case in favor of the home team. This city of almost too’ many winners more often than not feels disposed to cheer for the opposition, which usually is in the appealing role of the underdog. * The Cardinals will receive their full share of the plaudits, but they no longer will enjoy the sentimental advantage they possessed in 1926 when they emerged from the base- bal! wilderness for the first time in the history o2 the National League. CUBS DEFEAT SOX IN FIRST Chicago, Oct. 4.—(F)—Joe Mec- Carthy’s Cubs were-one up today on Lena Blackburne’s White Sox in their annual battle for the baseball championship of Chicago. With Pat Malone holding the op- position with his speed ball, the Cubs needed only the first inning to win the first game of the series 3 to 0 before more than 25,000 yes- terday. Malone was in great form, allowing only five scattered hits, and only one of Blackburne’s men got to third. usual, boa: s of North D: Reading from left to right the squad above is as follows; Top row: Ketchian, son, WEST ENTERTAINS 21 PREP ELEVENS AT STATE AFFAIR Grand Forks, N.

BABY RABBITS OPEN SATURDAY Brookings, S. D., Oct. 4.—The state college freshman football team will meet Madison normal in the ‘lings’ first game of the season tare Saturday afternoon. 2 Coach Eckberg has been giving his squad long workouts this week in preparation for a tough game. Re- ports from Madison are that the normal has eight letter men back from last year, with Captain Buck, a fullback, as their leading luminary. Due to the size of the squad, Eck- berg has hardly had a chance to look. the frosh over carefully, but he announced.a tentative lineup for the game this afternoon. The year- ling line he gave out is the heaviest in years, averaging befter than 180 pounds from end to end.

Despite the poor showing made by the inexperienced Jimmies last week with the powerful Nodaks, Coach Ericson feels confident that his fighting Jimmies can scalp the Scalpers of Huron college. This week has been spent at hard labor whipping the Jamsetown col- lege gridiron mowing machine into action. “Red” says he has a real team instead of eleven players. Sev- eral shifts in the lineup have helped to caulk the weak places. Coons has been shifted to guard and Salie end. The backfield has been com- pletely rearranged, with Purdy, a new man, calling signals. Soderholm, ex-star of Jamestown high school, is going like a “million dollars,” and others are going like a “half-a-million.” A setback to this optimism, however, is the injury of Jensen Tuesday evening in a prac- tice scrimmage. huge’ crowd is expected to wit- | Durha ness the game, including a large percentage of the alumni. Booster ticket downtown sales are smashing the line hard. A parade that beats Barnum and Bailey’s will immedi- ately precede the game.

Each of the conference elevens has won two previous games this season except the Bison and the Morningside squads, both outfits be- ing idle Sept. 22. The University of South Dakota, South Dakota State college, University of North Dakota and North Dakota State won easy victories last week-end, while Morningside college ha a little dif- fieulty with Augustana but came out of the fray a 26 to 6 victor.

While the Nef hte South Da- kota is making the long journey to im, N.

Morningside college also faces 7 tough game with Dakota Wes- yan. _ The game Saturday will be the first real test for the Bison. Re- rts Mui, Te the Head of the Lakes are that the Superior outfit is the most formidable that the in- stitution has turned out in years. Although only five men returned from the 1927 aggregation, the word is that the team has a fast moving backfield combination to cover the ground, and a heavy line.
