Announcement that the big Bis- marck high schoo! athlete successfully hurdled semester examinations and will be eligible for the Demon basket- ball and track and field teams this semester was made by high school authorities last night. The big fellow, a senior, measures six feet seven inches from the sole of his foot to the scalp and weights in the vicinity of 230 pounds. In the fall of his junior year he was named an all-North Dakota high school foot- ball player and was a letter-winner last year both in basketball and track and field work, being a scorer in the weight events in all meets in which he competed, including the state event. Due to a knockout at the hands of Old Man Examination last spring Meinhover has been ineligible the first semester of his senior year.

McLeod took to Minot with him this morning. ‘The emons face Minot tonight in a contest which is part of a dedicatory program for a new gymnasium at the northern city. Captain John O'Hare, husky guard who suffered a broken toe last week- end, did not leave with the club, which boarded a bus at 7 a. m. today. Men included in the squad, besides Meinhover, were Eddie Agre and Earl Hoffman, guards; Harold Tait, cen- ter; Johnny Spriggs, Frank Smith, and Marlen Loehrke, forwards. Because of O'Hare's absence and Meinhover’s entrance, McLeod prob- ably will shoot another of his already numerous combinations into the fray with the Magicians and a great num- ber of substitutions probably will be made by the Demon mentor. The Bismarck club will stop to- morrow at Washburn on its way home and will face the téam of that city tomorrow night.

Those who will give the most trouble over signing perhaps will be Arthur (Dazzy) Vance and Floyd C. (Babe) Herman. Vance, after winning a $25,000 con- tract last spring, had a disappointing season and the Dodgers are expected to make a cut in his salary which Dazzy may or may not decide to ac- cept.

Blankley for the Associated Press. ze 8 By FRANK W. BLANKLEY (Chairman, Swimming Committee,! National A, A. U.) Chicago, Jan. 17.—(7)—From the Atlantic coast to the mid-Pacific Shores of Hawaii the amateur ath- letic union has planned « program for an active swimming year for 1930. The four major events are the men’s and women's indoor and outdoor swimming and diving championships. The women’s indoor championships will be held March 13, 14, 15 and 16 in Miami, Fla., and the men's indoors will be decided in the lake shore A. C. pool, Chicago, April 2, 3, 4, and 5. Both the men’s and women's out- doors will be held in Los Angeles, Probably in August, the dates yet to be selected. In addition to these major events, 4 individual junior championships iN (INUTE WITH JOHNNY EVERS Owners and managers of major league teams have their troubles but they are as nothing compared to the problems of the ivory-seeker, declares : Johnny Evers, in the employ of the Boston Braves as a scout. The sup- ply of big league timber — that is, good big league timber — is be- coming scarcer with each sea- son, according to Johnny. “The glamor in the life of a baseball ivory hunter before the war is gone now,” Evers sighed. “It's a trying job and most of us are getting tired of it. “Why, it wasn’t so long ago that the arrival of a big league scout in a town caused a flutter of activity over the entire population,” he continued. “Every owner used to think more of sending a youngster to the big show than of winning a pennant. He knew the man you wanted and gave you every opportunity to watch him per- form under various conditions in three or four games. Then you passed judgment and if the youngster will be scattered in Hawaii dnd var- ious parts of this country, including New York, Detroit, Boston, Los An- geles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Om- aha, Portland, Ore., Chicago and New Haven. The mi long distance championship will be held in St. Louis and the women’s long distance in New York. Interest at this time is focused on the women's championships at Miami. All of last year's champions will be on hand to defend their titles. Al- bina Osipowitch, Worcester, Mass., 1928 Olympic champion at 100 meters, has two titles to defend, the 100 yards and the 220 yards events. Miss Osi- Powich also is holder of the world’s record of 1:09 3-5 for the 100 meters and will be hard to beat. Miss Mary Lou Quinn, of the Illinois women’s A. C., is strong bidder for this event. Miss Olive Hatch, Los Angeles, Miss Monta Morgan, San Francisco, Miss Helene Madison, Seattle, also seek national honors. Miss Ethel McGary, of the wom- attending the University of Southern California, will enter, Poughkeepsie to Have Good Or te Any Crews Late for Big Annual Event Will Be Disqualified _ Automatically Fec fle le F Ae wouldn't do, you said so, and there were no hard feelings. “That was before the war,” Evers declared, and then he snorted, “and the kids weren't trotting out to the golf links every day. Material was plentiful, the sandlots were full and the supply kept coming. “Today,” and Johnny again voiced his disgust, “the town is ready for him all right, but there are half a dozen other scouts there to look the youngster over. The owner starts the ball rolling by saying that the other scouts have made bids and that he has practically closed the deal. And then when you have seen the kid perform and are ready to talk, the owner floors you with his price. tough for us, too,” continued Evers. “With big league teams holding in- terests in minor clubs, real good pros- peets have become unavailable. Many are out on option for development. Evers informed us that a scout used to work on his own initiative but today was hampered with too many “hot tips” from friends of own- ers and managers, or college coaches.

Leo Diegel, who wore the colors of the local club in driving and putting his way to the national professional championship in Los Angeles recently, toured the course yesterday and pro- nounced it fit, although still suffer- ing from the drenching it received while the $10,000 Los Angeles open was being played in driving rain. Eighty-four professionals and 12 amateurs will tee off Monday morn- ing for a four-day campaign. The list of entrants includes all the shin- ing lights of the pro field, with the | exception of Tommy Armour, who re- turned east after the Los Angeles open, and also some of the nation’s best Simon Pures. Gene Sarazen, former national open champion, who has not participated in the winter campaign in Southern California, came from New York to attempt to; get a cut of the money here. Many of the followers of the tour- naments will play in the $1,000 La Jolla, Calif, open Saturday, before coming here in preparation for the big prize of the Pacific southwest winter tour. 2 Hard Punchers Meet in Coliseum Winner of Braddock-Lomski Af- fair Almost Certain to Get Repeat Orders Chicago, Jan. 17.—(#)—Two of the hardest punchers in the ring, James J.

Landis to quit the professional prize ring for baseball he will lose approximately $50,000, or one-fifth of the nest egg he is aim- ing at. Ever since the fighting White Sox first baseman attracted 18,000 cus- tomers at Boston recently for his fight with Al Spohrer he has been flooded with attractive offers for boxing matches, while promoters in 8t. Louis, Boston, New York and Philadelphia want his services, swelling the finan- cial inducements to $50,000. “Tl tell it to Judge Landis; he'll tell me what to do and I'll do it,” said the great one in discussing his im- pending conference with baseball's high commissioner. “I think a lot of Judge Landis. He's a friend of mine, and the advice he gives me is good enough for me.” There was every indication today that Commissioner Landis would merely give Shires a fatherly talk, ad- vise him to make a humble apology to the White Sox for hting with former Manager “Lena” Blackburne, and sign up at a reasonable figure for the 1930 campaign. ° Harry Grabiner, secretary of the ; White Sox, has refused to comment on the case other than to say the club would be able to act when Shires was through with Landis.
