In 8.preliminary game, the Mandan Papooses battled their way to an 18 to 10 decision over the Wilton Miners. McDonald and Arthur had a field day at the expense of the bewildered Midgets, Mandan’s hard driving aces scoring 27 points between them. Mc- Donald potted six field goals in rapid succession in the final half after Ar- thur had set him an exemple in the first half by slapping the strings five times in quick order. Richards brought a lanky team to »Mandan.

In the final half, the Dickinson star, dribbled Mandan's first string, Russell, Mc- Donald, Arthur, Stephens and Helb- Ming flashed enough class to prove that they will be dangerous, if not the leading contenders for the state championship. The Braves’ only weakness seems to be on the bench, the ‘reserves: being noticeably weak when they were injected into the run- away. Starke and Morovitz starred for Dickinson.

OLD LADY IN SHOE HAS NOTHING ON MANAGER M’CARTHY’S CUBS ‘Marse Joe’ Is Having a Little Trouble With Third Base, but He Has a Strong Pitching Staff, Infield, Outfield, and Many Strong Recruits. Chicago, Jan. 12.—(#)—The old lady in the shoe, who had so many children she didn’t know what to do, has nothing on “Marse Joe” McCar- thy, the rotund pilot of William Wrig- ley’s pennant chasing cubs. McCarthy has so many powerful right hand hitters, among them the greatest socker in the National League, Rogers Hornsby, that he doesn’t know how to arrange his ba‘- ting order. “It's got me stumped even though it does sound funny,” McCarthy moans. “Just look over that list of right handed ‘fence busters—Horsby, Kiki Cuyler. Hack Wilson, Riggs Stephenson, Woody English, Gabby Hartnett and the rest.” Sees Pennant Hope Wrigley can see nothing but a pen- nant for his Cubs in 1929, _barrit accidents. Rogers Hornsby, he is coe fident, will provide the punch to push he Cubs right up to the top at the art and keep them up there at the Sinish. It cost Wrigley approximately ® half million dollars in cash and Players to get the “Rajah” from Bos- ton, but’ he he is worth it. With Hartnett catching, Grimm at first, Hornsby at second, English at shortstop and Wilson, Cuyler and Stephenson ‘in the outfield, and one of the best pitching staffs in the Heydler circuit, the 1929 crop of Cub Rookies will have to play some: class of baseball to stick with McCarthy's Squad. The only possible openings are rane Pitching staff and at third Clyde Beck played the hot corner most of last season, but his batting was impotent and McCarthy is seek- ing ‘ somebody for that spot. promising rookies will be .tried for the position, Clarence ‘Blair of Little Rock and Danny Taylor of Memphis. Blair hit .294 and led the Southern last season. Taylor, who can play either third Pe lig base or the outfield, batted .374 in 1928 and was one of the best base Tunners in the south, 5 Joe Glick Takes Defeat at Hands Of Jim McLarnin \Boy From West Gains Lost Prestige in New York; Takes 7 Rounds New York, Jan. 12.—(7)—Jimmy McLarnin, the baby-faced boy who came out of the far west a year ago to win the hearts of New York's fight fans by knocking out their favorite, Sid Terris, has come back to his “lucky ring” in Madison Square Gar- den to regain the prestige lost when he succumbed to the fists of Ray Miller. In. the first bout in the Garden since the death of Tex Rickard, Mc- Larnin smashed his way to a 10- round victory over another Gotham favorite, Joe Glick. z Before the final bout, the Garden lights were dimmed and the crowd of 20,000 stood in silent tribute to the founder of the great sports arena. A trumpeter sounded taps from the promoter’s empty black - draped. box and Jack Dempsey, greeted by a 10- minutes burst of cheering, stood in the ring while Joe Humphries, vet- eran announcer, delivered a eulogy to his “Best Pal.” Although -he has outgrown the lightweight class, McLarnin has not lost the speed or the paralyzing punch that carried him to the top in that division. Through seven rounds he outclassed the Brooklyn talilor, rated as a leader among the light- weights to earn the unanimous de- cision of the judges and referee.

Pennock, Goslin, Lazzeri, Meadows, Wilcy Moore—five men whose past feats on the diamond are beyond question, but whose future is far from certain. Pennock, Moore and Meadows, all pitching stars of 1927, had to quit the game in 1928 because their arms gave out. Gostin and Lazzeri were in and outers, especially the latter, who finished the season more as a substi- tute than as a regular. Each member of the pitching trio won 19 games in 1927. Pennock and Moore helped hurl the Yai to the American League pennant and the world’s championship, while Meadows likewise assisted the Pirates to the National League title. deh Moore and Meadows succumbed early in 1928, both retiring altogether after miserable luck on the mound. Meadows pitched but one full game and was credited with one victory and one defeat. Moore won four and lost four. Pennock’s trouble developed after mid-season, and before he quit in August he had won 17 and lost 6. Goslin’s Arm Goslin’s arm was a total loss form the very start, but being an outfielder with a remarkable batting eye the Goose could, and did, virtually elim- inate throwi: His achievement in winning the league batting champion- ship. with an ‘average of .379 speaks for itself. Lazzeri was stricken about the same time Pennock out, but be- cause of the weakened condition of the desperate Yankees he did a Gos- Mn and played when he could stand the pain of handling the ball, finish- ing the season with a batting mark of 832. In a period of the year notorious in baseball for the breeding of false optimism, the reports are that all five will be back. But the likelihood of their Question Mark sustaining flight long enough to enable all to become 1929 dependables will be given less recognition tl accorded the crew of the real Question Mark when they hopped off for their goal of 100 or more hours in the air.

All Will Depend On Jack Sharkey For Stribling Go Boston Heavy Must Agree to Terms;; Stribling Has; Dempsey in Charge New York, Jan. 12.—(AP)—Jack Sharkey seems to hold the key to the tangled ‘situation surrounding the Proposed Sharkey-Stribling bout at Miami Beach next month. Finding no trace of signed contracts for the bout, William F. Carey, vice president and treasurer of the Madi- son Square Garden corporation, and his associates, have decided to stage the match Tex Rickard planned for Feb. 27—provided they can get the principals to agree to a revision in financial arrangements. Young Stribling already has agreed to accept any terms Rickard’s succes- sors may offer but Sharkey may be rather less agreeable. Responsibilty for making or break- ing the match appears to have been thrust onto Sharkey’s shoulders. Carey and Jack Dempsey are to con- fer in Boston with him and hope to conyince him that the $100,000 guar- anteereported to have been made him is a trifle too much. If Sharkey ac- cepts a cut, the bout will go through as scheduled. If he refuses the chances are the fight, will be aban- doned. : Dempsey remains uncommunicative as to his own plans but Carey indi- cated that the former title-holder would be in charge at Miami Beach if the bout goes through, ALL BIG TEN TEAMS TO PERFORM TODAY Chicago, Jan. 12.—(4)—Gunning for Big Ten basketball championship, has been sporadic since the the campaign a week forth.on all 1 ent eee psy ted teams, I feat lowa, and Michigan at Iowa City, tops the five-game card, which will trim the lst of.unbeaten to two and possibly one.

The first canto ended 2 to 1. in favor of the cit; boys and the first half ended 8 to for the same team. The teams played evenly during the first period. The Phantoms outscored the sol-'” diers in the third quarter 9 to 0. The last quarter was all Phantom, though’ the soldiers scored their lone point of the half in this period. K. O. McLean, a rugged boxer of the soldier camp who barked out skirmisher orders to his team-mates, took all honors for being the least’ gentle in the game. He left the game early in the fourth quarter with four personal fouls.
