Van Ryan, St. Paul welterweight who meets Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck, in the 10-round headliner, yesterday con- sented to the signing of Orris W. Roberts, Bismarck man, as referee. ‘This announcement was made this morning by Isham “Tex” Hall, who with Bill Godwin, Mandan, is acting as matchmaker for the local post of the American Legion. Objected to Local Man Shortly after Van Ryan signed to meet Cavanagh the St. Paul man registered his objection to Roberts. His manager, Colonel Jack Hurley. fave Roberts the okay, but the fighter insisted on an outsider. After negotiations with Leo Kos- sick, Moorhead, and Billy B. Hoke, Minneapolis, failed to develop a def- inite promise that either would be here Friday night, Hall wired Van Ryan, asking him to agree to Roberts. And the St. Paul man did. Hall today was wondering if it will be necessary to substitute Eddie Kid Bowman, Edgeley, for Bobby Baker, Bismarck weiter, in the eight-round simiwindup. Baker left for his home in Aberdeen, S. D., a week ago to train, and was expected back today. Hall has not heard from the fighter and he had not arrived carly this afternoon. Slugger White, Ellendale, is the other semiwindup figure. ‘The four-round encounter between Gabe Eckroth and Mickey McGuire promises to be one of the best on the card this time, according to the le- gionnaires. Both have put in strenu- ous training periods in an effort to get in the best possible shape, each having served notice on the other that it is going to be a real fight. Eckroth, who seemed a bit flabby and out of ' condition at the last show, has lost 10 pounds in the last two weeks and has declared himself fit. Both will take it easy this week. Van Arrives Thursday ‘That Van Ryan and Jack Hurley will arrive in Bismarck Thursday morning is believed by the two matchmakers. Hurley did not accompany L¢Roy here when the Fargo blonde went through 10 rounds with the capital city pounder. Cavanagh is confident he will win |”. Friday's fight by a knockout. He said he learned much in his scrap with Russie LeRoy and has seen Van Ryan fight enough to be well acquainted with his style. bs Legionnaires expect a crowd of 1,000 to watch the 36-round card.

Bismarck stepped out in front by virtue of a well-balanced squad that managed to pick up points in nearly every event. The complete total was 4312. Fessenden, hosts for the 175 athletes from 25 schools, landed in second place with 222 points. Devils Lake finished third with 1512, and Mohaill, fourth, with 14. Meinhover Individual Star Ted Meinhover was individual point winner. The mastodonic Bismarckian took firsts in the discus and shot put and third in the javelin. Thornton of Fessenden was runnerup with 10. Eight existing meet records were Meinhover led the record makers by boosting the shot distance to 42 feet 1 inch and whirling the discus 113 feet 11 inches.

He was pushed hard by Horner, Mohall, and Swanson, Den- hoff. Stutsman, Heaton, state broad jump champion, heaved the javelin 14/ feet 7 inches. Hornbacker, Goodrich; Meinhover, Bismarck, and Hempel of Denhoff were only inches behind the Wells county strong boy. s Horner of Mohall sprang into the North Dakota limelight by beating Bismarck’s crack quarter miler and state champion, Wallie Green, in the 440 yard dash.

Call of Manager Churchill For Baseball Club Team Will Have Regular Prac- tice Sessions Tuesday, Thursday, Friday Seventeen Bismarck baseball candi- Gates at 2:30 p. m. yesterday an- swered Manager Neil O. Churchill's call for the first local practice of the season, though only 14 took part in the first’ workout at the city athletic field. ‘The group was made up of chiro- practors, cookie salesmen, Jaundry- men, printers, truck drivers, automo- bile salesmen, expert accountants, shoe salesmen, mechanics, pharma- cists, chain store managers, farm machinery salesmen, and state em- ployes. Five Newcomers Report Among them were five newcomers: Phil Ehli, who played first base with the U. 8. Fleet Air team last season S. Wright; C. H. Woodridge, hefty hitter who caught for. Rochester, Minn., last season; Gene Forrest, who played baseball at the North Dakota agricultural college; Larry Barthe, who played first and third for Little Falls in the Northern Minnesota league last year and who spent last winter as 2 member of the Pitts- burgh professional hockey sextette; and Herb Magec, outfielder, who has played for the last eight years in the Minneapolis city loop. * Three who did not partake in the first workout were Doc Love, chiro- practic pitcher; Punt Johnson, who played shortstop for the local nine last year; and a veteran baseball player who answers‘to the name of Grimes. Others who took part in the open- ing session were last season’s veter- ans: Carl Martin, Dutch Nagel, Louis Lenaburg, and Babe Mohn, out- fielders; Floyd Fuller, Long John Sagehorn, and Eddie Tobin, infield- ers; Duckie Guidas, catcher; and Kelly Simonson, catcher and out- fielder.

One game was delayed, another was cut short, and the second portion of 8 scheduled doubleheader at the polo grounds was washed away, but the rain checks were rendered null and void in every park. Fighting in the western sector saw the St. Louis Browns continue their mad pace as two National league fa- vorites fell before so-called underdogs. The Gincinnati Reds, conceded to be as far under as it fs possible for dogs to get, left the Cubs reeling under a 17 to 12 blow at Redland field, but |J- Patera found themselves severely battered by Bruin bats before it was called a day. The Reds led at one time by 12 to 2, only to see the Cubs pull up to within one of a tie by scoring once in | 4: the fourth and eight times in the fifth, Jess Petty Wins Jess Petty pitched his first winning game of the year on turning back the Cardinals by 6 to 2 with only four safe hits. The Pirdtes themselves had their troubles with old Pete Alexan- der, and made the game safe only by ® three-run assault against Sylvester Johnson in the ninth, after Alex had given way to a pinch batsman. About 42,000 fans were enticed to the Polo grounds by word that the Giants would trample the Phillies twice in the same afternoon. After Fred Fitz- simmons had toyed with the Shotton troops to win the opener by 3 to 2, rain fell in such a businesslike way that Giant officials were forced to send their customers home _ short- changed. Travis Jackson: picked up two home runs in the single melee, as did Hack Wilson in the game at Cin- cinnati. Hat incidentally, batted home five runs, a record for the sea- son to date. The rain which drenched Flatbush and environs gave the Robins a chance to prove themselves as adept at losing in six innings as they were known to be in nine. The Braves ac- cepted this decision by 5 to 2 and remained at the top of the peculiar standings of the National league clubs. Rube Bressler got three hits, includ- ing a homer. Babe Clouts Second Babe Ruth’s second home run and Waite Hoyt’s effective pitching pulled the Yankees through by 7 to 2.at Washington after the rain held up. Boston fans, to the number of 25,000, finally had a chance yesterday to see &@ major league championship contest on the Sabbath, but the Athletics, en- tirely out of sympathy with the gala spirit of the occasion, romped back to Philadelphia with an cdge of 7 to 3. Bing Miller and Jimmy Dykes con- tributed home runs to the Mackian Clause, and Dykes in addition crashed out. two doubles. Eddie Rommel at- ‘tended to the defense by serving the knuckle ball in his best style. The 6 to 3 victory of the Browns at Detroit, coupled with the success of the Athletics, left these two con- tenders in a tie for top honors in the younger major circuit, each with a mark of .667. ‘The White Sox shaded the Indians by 2 to 1 at Chicago in the remain- ing American league skirmish.

O. U. W. club 4 to 3 in a thrilling 11-inning game. J. Rebenitsch knocked in the win ning run in the final frame with a three-bagger. He collected a home run and two triples in the contest. Each team erred seven times and only the fine work of the hurlers pro- longed the game. C. Rebenitsch hurled the first seven innings for Fort Rice and was forced to relieve Slavik in the tenth. F. Hummel went the route for the Bismarck outfit. Orrie Baldwin, a substitute who re- lieved F. Kelley in left field, drove in all three runs for the Workmen.
