Not since the championship days of 1915 and 1916 have Gute boasted of such excellent prospects or hopeful over an approaching baseball ; season. New blood has been drought into Inearly every position, the pitching staff has been strengthened and the Phillies have a great young shortstop in Tommy Thevenow, for whom they are reported to have given three play- ers and $50,000 in cash. Two Veterans Gone ‘ One of Manager Burt Shotton's most recent moves was to cast aside itwo veterans, Jimmy Ring, pitcher, ‘who was given his unconditional re- ‘lease, and John Schulte, who was sold %@ Columbus, of the American asso- _ ciation. Seri Hurst, who hit 18 home runs last season, will be on first base and Fresco Thompson on second with | Thevenow at shortstop. Pinkey Whit- “ney, who battled over .300 last year, ‘will be at third to round out a well- balanced infield. As infield reservists “Manager Shotton has Terry Lyons, ‘from the sand lots of St. Louis; Fir- berg, and Joe O'Rourke, son of the { Phillies’ chief scout. * ‘The outfield will be composed of # Lefty O'Dou, obtained from the New York Giants; Danny Southern, a ' youngster; Homer Peel, from Houston, Texas, and Chuck Klein, with Cy Williams, home run slugger, as the leading reservist. Lerian, Davis and Susce will be in charge of the catching department. - Susce is a youngster from the Univer- , sity of Pittsburgh. Will Be Leader Should he be able to obtain an ex- perienced relief pitcher, Manager Shotton said he would not hesitate to predict the Phillies would finish among the leaders. ‘The regular staff of Benge, Milli- gan, Ferguson, Baecht, Sweetland, McGraw, Ulrich and Willoughby has been augmented by five youngsters.

Hockey Leads to Hang in Balance In Today’s Sets Four of Five Teams in National Group Ready to Swing Into Action New York, Jan. 24.—()—The lead- ership of the international section of the National Hockey league hangs in the balance tonight as four of the five teams meet in intra-group clashes. Likewise the other places are teeter- ing on edge with the same games as the means of deciding how the teams will line up. The New York Americans, leaders of the group and the third Place Montreal Maroons clash here in the leading battle and the second and fourth place teams. Les Canadiens and Toronto meet at Montreal. Vic- tories for the two Montreal teams would put the flying frenchmen on even terms with the Americans with the Maroons but one game behind.

So far the group leaders and the Maroons are all square for the sea- son with one victory apiece and a scoreless tie last Thursday. Since their meeting a week ago which resulted in a tie, Les Canadiens have made a slightly better showing than Toronto, playing two draws while the Leafs were losing two.

Entries closed officially last Sat- urday, but the constant influx of further names caused committee members to change the closing date. Chicago, with 15 teams entered, has broken the record for outside teams and their lists indicated the increased Outstate interest which has been par- ticularly spirited in connection with the sending to the tournament of “booster” teams. It was estimated that more than a hundred outside teams would se€k prize money awards.

Jan. 24.— Three men and three members of the Re- Gent basketball team escaped possible serious injury when the car in which they were returning home after a basketball game at Gladstone rolled over an eight-foot embankment near Hee, during a severe snowstorm. jot even @ glass of the sedan was broken in the accident. The occu- pants of the car spent the night at Lefor. Men in ae car were L. A. President of the South Missouri Basketball League, Logeland and Olsen.

Sullivan, who wore the heavyweight crown from 1882 to 1892, had put on weight in the intervening years until 1910, but from his cap to his shoes he was still idolized by the public. Seven years after he posed for this picture, Sullivan died. Next in line, sporting “ice cream” trousers, is Jim Coffroth.

Local Boxing Expert Informs Promoters He Can’t Promise to Be Here KOSSICK IS SUGGESTED Hall and Godwin May Nego- tiate With Moorhead Man to Replace Roberts Who will referee, and not who will fight, is the question which Isham Hall and W. J. Godwin, co-promoters of the Lee Cavanagh-Tiger Johnny Comptom boxing card here Feb. 1, are trying to answer today. This new worry was added to the promoters’ worries this morning when Orris W. Roberts, who has agreed to officiate on the 41-round card, informed Hall and Godwin that he is not certain he will be in Bis- marck on the night of the card. After conferring with Roberts, Hall said he would begin negotia- tions in an attempt to bring Leo Kossick, Moorhead official, here for the card if Kossick is suitable to /ompton. Hall said that a good refcree is essential as both principals in the main go must agree to him and be- cause the referee will be the import- ant man in eight bouts. Roberts’ statement was not posi- tive, however. He said he believed at present that he would be here the night of Feb. 1 but that he couldn’t Promise the promoters. DULUTH 3; ST.

HARD TO REPLACE Many Cleveland sports writers think Summa’s place in right field will be hard to replace. Not so much his hitting, but his excellent ficlding. IT’S A TOUGH OPENER Nebraska will open its 1929 football schedule against Southern Methodist university. Billy Jordan, shown here with his hand upraised, was recognized as one of the greatest boxing an- nouncers to ever step into a ring. The third man to the right of Jordan is Bob Fitz- simmons, heavyweight champion after Jim Corbett. Holder of three championships in his day—middle- weight, light heavywegiht and heavyweight—Fitz- simmons is thought by many to have been the hard- est puncher who ever lived. Beside Fitz is Tom Sharkey, rugged sailor-fighter who turned in many great performances before he hung up his gloves.

D., Jan. 24—()—Fargo booster teams and one regular entry from Valley City failed to dislodge any of the leaders in the team events of the fourth annual Fargo Bowling association tournament here today. Rudy Marks, Fargo, broke into the select circle, going into a tie with Heygood of Aberdeen, for fifin place in the singles with 594. M. P. Krogh and Oscar Dahl, Val- ley City, turned in the best doubles Performance of the day with 1,062. The Crescent Jewelry, Fargo, had the best team score of the boosters, 2,527, K. O. Christner and Sharkey Confident New York, Jan. 24.—(—There was an abundance of confidence todcy at the training quarters of Jack Sharkey of Boston and K. O. Christner, grad- uate of the Akron rubber plants, who meet in a 10-round clash in Madi- son Square Garden tomorrow night. The loquacious gob can see nothing in the scrap but a good warm-up for his battle with young Stribling at Miami Beach while the 34-year-old Ohioan, who sprang into prominence by punching Knute Hansen out of the heavyweight picture a couple of months ago, expects to tag Sharkey with the same wallop he used on the melancholy Dane. Sharkey says he will end the af- fair in short order. “One-punch hitters are always dan- gerous, even to the cleverest ring man,” he declared. “I am not blind to the fact that Christner can hit. But I feel I am good enough to beat him and go on past Stribling and the rest to the title.” Christner was fully as confident. “My manager, Tiny Herman, has been everywhere in the world but Miami Beach,” he said. “I plan to take him down there when I fight Stribling in Sharkey’s place.” Canadian Curlers Winners at Minot Minot, Jan. 24—()—United States rinks failed to win a match against six Canadian skips last night in the international event at the’ big Minot bonspeil, and as a result the massive Louis W. Hill trophy for that compe- tition will cross the line into the do- minion for the first time in years. The total score of the six matches showed Canada far in front with 84 rocks to 48 for the United States en- trants. The Maple Leaf curlers were helped their impressive victory by the krivel rink of Estevan, Sask., routed Dahl of Minot 22 to 6; by the Phillips rink of Weyburn, which downed Wallace of Minot 14 to 6; and by a 16 to 9 margin Kramer of Por- tal gained over Hugh of Minot.

CARLSON Youth Made an Average of 15 Points Against Michigan, Chicago, Purple, lowa By BOB MATHERNE It has been said to Charley Hyatt, University of Pittsburgh basketball Star, that he is the best player in America today. That compliment to Hyatt was made by Coach Everett Dean of In- diana and also by Coach Sam Barry at Iowa and Coach Arthur Lonborg at Northwestern. Not one of these fellows is given to tossing honeyed words about in a careless fashion. And all of them are sufficiently familiar with basketball and basketball players to know a tal- ented athlete when they see one. And in Hyatt they see one who looks like the best. Leaves Deep Impression Charley Hyatt has played in only two sections of the country the past two seasons—in the middle west and the east—but he has left a deep im- Pression on every one who has seen him play. His fame is even more widespread. He was the high scorer of the un- defeated Pittsburgh team last fall, gh Rose-Colored Glasses Panther Cager, Called Best in Land by Coaches THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1929 PHANTOMS AND SET FOR HARD GAME TONIGHT Contest Called for 8:30 P.M. Bismarck Time at the State Training School Gymnasium in Mandan Today; Intense Rivalry Adds Color to the Encounter. With both teams in good shape for an expected close battle, the Bis- marck Phantoms face the s1 state training school cagers at the state training school gymnasium at Mandan at 8:30 o'clock tonight (Bis- marck time)... Confident after scoring a 28 to 22 victory over the strong Steele Inde- Pendents Tuesday night, the Phan- toms are eager to meet the Trainers, while the Trainers, in keeping with the traditional rivalry between ath- letic teams of the two cities, look upon tonight’s games as a chance to crush a team from the capital city. Mike Geston and Mutt Gronvold, former University of North Dakota athletes, and George Heidt and Helb- ling, former Mandan high school stars, will bear the brunt of the Mandan attack tonight. They will be aided by many newcomers. Churchill’s lineup will include Ber- mel, center; Roberts, Brown, and Benser, forwards; and Burdick and Schlosser, guards. Van Wyk, Phan- tom. coach, will also see service to- night if his team shows signs of weakening. SHARKEY IS DOOMED TO WHIPPING Scoring 292 points in 21 games. In his first eight games this season, he ag- gregated 109 points, one less than Schaaf of Pennsylvania made in 12 games to lead eastern scorers up to that day. The fact that Hyatt makes a lot of Points in a game doesn’t necessarily make him stand out as a great play- er. And to those who are curious as to why he is a great player, the an- swer is simple. “Hyatt has an uncanny eye for the basket,” says Coach Carlson, “and never has to think about the arch, the angle or the velocity when he shoots. That’s all done instinctively. “I think that he has visualized per- fect technique. I know that he prac tices early and late to acquire th: Perfection. “He has the desire to be the great- est basketball playor in the world and he sacrifices all pleasures to realize that ambition. “Frankly, he is a natural player. He has practiced all the tricks of the floor for so long that his movements are automatic. He has practiced shooting until it is second nature. He is the most deceptive dribbler I have seen in years and he slips by a guard so easily that no defensive man can hold him in check. Two are neces- sary. “When a fellow has natural ability, an intense desire to be good and a willingness to spend the practice hours to be good, it is obvious that he will be valuable. Hyatt today is everything he wanted to be a few fe back, but he wants to be bet- ter!” Has Needed Stuff It was Hyatt’s own father who first recognized the fact that Charley had Something the other boys didn’t have. The elder Hyatt was physical structor of the Uniontown (Pa.) Y. M. C. A. in 1920 and Charley was a member of the junior team. He was 11 years old at the time and was a thin, awkward-looking kid. The thing he had, though, was co- ordination of mind and muscle and a hair-trigger. reaction. He could Play basketball. He dribbled and Passed and shot almost uncannily and his play was a revelation to the other youngsters. Hyatt had no trouble in the high school team, even though he was. still frail when he started. He played with them four years and each year he led the team in scoring points. And when high school was over, Hyatt entered Pittsburgh because Dr. Carlson was a great friend of the Hyatt family. rae year, Pitt played Michigan, Chicago, Northwestern and Iowa on successive of Egema beat Lang of Minot 13 to 8 ° while in two matches il FANS AVER Young Stribling Will Be Pos- sible Favorite; Christner May Take Jack By HENRY L. FARRELL When Willie Stribling goes into the ring against Jack Sharkey he may be a favorite in the betting. It appears quite certain now that he will be @ popular favorite among those who don’t bet and for reasons other than that Sharkey never has had the boys getting down for three long college rahs for him. It may be taking a lot for granted to anticipate Stribling and Sharkey in the ring because that guy Christ- ner may take his discus windup and knock for a loop the fellow who called him “a common Polack.” But it is not assuming too much to predict that Stribling will have the majority of the public with him if he does get in the ring. Disregarding their mechanical equipment for a moment, it can be said that Stribling is the best known. fighter in the country. He has wan- dered al over the country for three or four years ‘fighting every place.
