“PAGE EIGHT Bismarck and Mandan Both BOTH TEAMS COULD MAKE GOOD RECORD + AT STATE TOURNEY Bismarck Appears Stronger but Will Have to Be on Good Behavior STEPHENS READY TO PLAY Braves Have Been Strengthened With Addition of Three Huron Youths By WILLIAM S. MOELLER Hope, victory, defeat, revenge, sus- pense, and intense rivalry—all will have their fling at the state training school gymnasium in Mandan Friday night. For it is then that the Bismarck Demons and the Mandan Braves will struggle for the basketball champion- ship of Region C and the right to enter the state tournament March 22 and 23. The game will bring a realization of hope to the victor and a crushing blow to the loser. Should Bismarck win, the Demons will have taken their revenge on the ancient rivals from the other side of the Big Muddy for consistent defeats handed them in tournament play by the Braves in the Jast few years. Should Mandan win, the Braves will have attained sweet revenge for two beatings given them by the Demons this season. A fine team will win Friday night ‘and a fine team will lose. It is a pity that two such strong teams should be pitted against each other before state tournament play. Either team would make a great record in the state tournament. Week in and week out throughout the-season, the Demons appear the stronger team. But the Roy McLeod- coached crew will have to be on its best behavior Friday night or accept defeat when it hurts the most. The Demons walloped Mandan 32 to 17 Jan. 18 and eked out a 13 to 10 win Fro | The Jewclers will meet the Mandan Trainers Friday Standing, left to right, shake hands with Russell E.

TERRY, ROUSH ARRIVE San Antonio, Tex., March 12.—(7)— “Memphis Bill’ Terry and Eddie Roush have arrived in the Giants SPOR’ from the Morton county boys Feb. 8. ‘They have won 14 consecutive games this season, piling up a total count of 469 points to 123 for opponents, and have yct to taste defeat this year. Mandan, besides losing twice to the capital city youths, dropped a sur- prise contest to Jamestown. But the Braves are saying little about victory or defeat, apparently waiting in am- bush. for a surprise attack and a scalping this week-end. The Demons have remained the Same in personnel throughout the season. ‘Ted- Meinhover, however, given a chance during the tourna- ment last: week-end, showed world’s of stuff and will no doubt see a bit of action against Coach Leonard Mc- Mahan’s crowd. The Braves have been strengthened this ‘semester with the addition of Hudler, Lillibridge and Collins, for- mer performers at Huron, S. Dak. The Braves not only lost the game to Jamestown but almost lost the services of their, star guard, Jack Stephens, in the same contest. Steph- ens. wrenched his knee in the Blue- jay game and has not played since. He is out for practice this week, how- ever, and is expected to be in good shape for the contest of the year. In no other region are two such Powerful teams meeting each other this week. Other regional final con- tests follow: Lisbon vs. Fargo, at Fargo. Valley City vs. Jamestown at Jamestown.

BLAZING %e TRAIL Firpo down for the ninth time and out. Three years later, with the memory of that fight as vivid to him as is was a few days afterwar’, Dempsey talked to this writer about it and told a version somewhat. different from the popular conception. “The first punch Firpo landed did more damage to me than any other he landed,” Jack declared. “You re- member how he came out with a rush at the start? He smashed me with a right to the side of the head before I could get set. . My knees: wobbled and all I could do was reach for him and clinch. I saw at least three Fir- Pos in front of me all the rest of the round. That punch hurt worse than the one that sent me out of the ring. We were up against the ropes then and I lost my balance, but I was lucky to get back in and -last the round.” It is strange coincidence that Dempsey's fight with Firpo was re- sponsible for the rule—about retiring to a neutral corner—that cost him a probable victory over Tunney at Chi- cago in 1927. If the Mauler got the “breaks” in hjs battle with Firpo he failed to get them at Soldier field, where the fourteen-count that Tun- ney received while Dempsey was be- ing chased from one corner to another enabled the champion to recover fast- er from the efforts of his knockdown in the sevetnh round. f That seventh round possibly was Dempsey’s last great charge, the final fling of one of the greatest two-fisted punchers of gli time, For six rounds Tunney had piled up points, outbox- ing and outstepping his foe. Came the seventh, as the dramatists say, and quite properly, The tiger within Dempsey sprang atanopening. Aright-handsmash flush to the chin started Tunney down. A half dozen more shots to the jaw and the champion was a dazed, blinking spectacle on the floor. The old ‘sav- age spirit in Dempsey kept him near his prey. He stood over him men- acingly, then moved unwilling to his own corner nearby. ‘The referce, Dave Barry, had started to count and reached “five” before he himself ap- parently awoke to the demands of Tules, then motioned Dempsey to a neutral corner. The count was picked up at “one,” Tunney scrambled up at nee. ane flitted from Dempsey’s Teach.

Hopes On Hurlers Manager Donie Bush pins his hopes on’ his hurlers and expects the rest - of the squad to rise to the occasion. The mound corps has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Jess Petty, veteran left hander acquired from Brooklyn in the deal for Glenn Wright, shortstop. Ray Kremer and Burleigh Grimes, right handers, tae in top form. e Donio Bus} triumvirate of Pet- ty, Kremer and Grimes will bear the burden and should do until another comes along. Two other old timers, Carmery Hill and Lee Meadows, the latter back from the voluntary re- tired list, are showing up well and may get into the running. -The Rookie pitching field is un- usually fertile and from it Bush looks for at least two youngsters to help the cause along. Steve Swetonic, right hander, and Larry French, a southpaw, have the inside positions. Swetonic pitched Indianapolis onto the map last season and French did more than his bit for Portland of the coast league. Ervin Brame, right hander, has a job because of his pinch hitting ability. Fred Fussell, left hander, and Walter Tauscher and Ralph Dawson, right handers, | all holdovers, have not been counted out. If the Waner boys pull the unex- pected and remain out of baseball, the Pirate outfield will be guarded by George Grantham. Fred Brickell, and Adam Comorosky, the latter two youngsters but members of the squad in 1928. An outfield without the Waners is almost a calamity but Bush feels that the alter- ‘aner nates are not the worst in the game by any means. Has. Infield Problem Added to the uncertainty of the outer garden, is an infield problem involving third base. Captain - Pie | ing. ‘Traynor has been shifted from third to short and: at the latter position Bush believes he will be a star of the first water. Jim Stroner, a recruit who clouted out 42 home runs for Wichita in the Western League last Season, is wanted for the third base ion, but so far has been handi- pped by a recent appendicitis oper- ation. Sparky Adams has been hold- ing down second base most of the time and third some of the time with Dick Bartell believing him at the keystone berth. Harry Riconda, also from Brooklyn in the Wright deal, is another making a strong bid for third. Earl Sheely, ten year veteran of the majors, is back after a season in the minors and bids to become as valuable as any man on the club. His work at first base is a delight to his and his big bat should poke in several dozen timely runs, lowa Should Win ‘Tlinois Carnival yd the outstanding favorite to he 12th annual University of Illinois ig | relay carnival Saturday. : More than 800.athletes, representing 71 universities, colleges, and high schools will compete. ‘One outstanding event promises to bé in the pole ‘aul in which Hank Canby of: Io Northwestern clash again.
