areas DEMONS REGARDED ‘CERTAIN WINNERS “OP TITULAR HONOR McClusky Wins Moral Though Not Technical Victory Over Underwood TURTLES DISPLAY STRENGTH | Wilton and Coleharbor, Tour- ney’s Smallest Teams, Play Scrappy Game Underwood faced Washburn and Bismarck clashed with Wilton in the semi-finais this morning as a result of the first round of the Sixth district basketball tournament, being con- ducted at the local high school, yes- terday afternoon and evening. Results of the first round of the tourney follow: Underwood 16; McClusky 15. Washburn 21; Turtle Lake 20. Bismarck 39; Garrison 8. Wilton 13; Coleharbor 10. In walloping Garrison 39 to 8 in the first game last evening, Bismarck ran true to predictions and stamped itself the outstanding team in the meet, with little danger of losing the district title and the right to play the winner of the Fifth district title in the game for the regional cham- plonship and the right to enter the state tourney March 22 and 23. | Garrison, probably the outstanding team in the tourncy outside of Bis- marek, had little chance from the op- ening whistle, with Bismarck always in the lead. McClusky Has Moral Win McClusky won a moral though not technical victory over Underwood in the opening contest. A field goal was taken from the McClusky outfit in the second half through an error on the part of the referce, who admit- ted that he had made a mistake but could not change his decision after the game had been completed. Un- derwood won 16 to 15. After dissipating a first half lead of 15 to 6, Washburn was forced to play an extra period to eke out a 21 to 20 victory over Turtle Lake. ‘Washburn had defeated Turtle Lake @ week ago for the McLean county title, and it was a nip and tuck bat- tle all the way. Wilton, Coleharbor Small. Wilton and Coleharbor, the two cmallest teams entered in the meet, put up a fast and scrappy battle. L. Vincent, Wilton forward, became ex- hausted in the second half and fell in ‘a faint but was resuscitated in @ few minutes and resumed play. He was unconscious for two hours at the McLean county tournament last week after his bard play. Ou Players in yesterday's! play were all of the Bismarck men; &. Hirsch, McClusky guard and for- ward; E. Liebel, Underwood forward; Ekstrom, Washburn forward; Baard- son and Schlafman, forwards, and R. Lieboe, guard. all of Turtle Lake; E.

SOX START WITH WIN Dallas, Texas, March 9.—(7)—The Chicago White Sox have started their spring exhibition series with a vic- tory.

REDS WITHOUT PICINICH Miami, Fla., March 9.— (?)— The Cincinnati Reds were without the services of Val Picinich, veteran catcher, today at the opening of the exhibition season for the Reflegs, with the Philadelphia Athletics.

Maine Has Mecca For Bird Hunters Bath, Me., Mar. 9—(AP)—A mec- eaca for pheasant hunters is been planned here. Pheasants r-leased last fall and ad- ditional bircs to be released this spring are expected to revert entirely to wild life so tiat Sagadahoc county will become a hunters’ paradise. AS yet, the pheasants remain domesti- cated to the extent that they return occasionally to the farmyard from which they were released and con- sort with the hens at feeding time. In about three years it is believed that they will have reverted entirely and that they will have greatly mul- tiplied. 3 ma ‘Fights Last Night ° ey (By The Associated Press) Detroit—Jackie Fields, Los Angeles, stopped Al Van Ryan, St. Paul (5).

Babe Hasn’t Thing On Seminole Tribe St. Petersburg, Fla., March 9.—(@)— Babe Ruth may know all about knocking home runs over major league grandstands, but four husky redskins of the Seminole tribe near here can show him a thing or two in the art of clouting in poke-thi-kee, | the Indian ball game. !

The men are not allowed to touch the women with their hands during the game, while the women may get as rough as they please when the contest is close and exciting. _ The players use small racque 3s made of hickory, with woven buck- skin, while the ball used i made of deer hide stuffed with deer hair.
