Leaving the “ifs” and “ands” out Mf the question and figuring on the orm displayed in last Saturday's game with the Minot Magicians, an out- fider would pick the Demons to win. fm the first place, Leonard C. Mc- Mahan, Mandan coach, will be with- yut the services of Byron Spielman ‘or the forthcoming encounter. In ihe second place, the Demons have iemonstrated their ability on their ywn floor to shoot accurately. Shooting Is Problem ‘The problem of the Memorial build- ng is another thing. So far this sea- son the Bismarckers have been un- fortunately inaccurate on any large symnasium. In each of their previous ontests at the community building he Demons have had a hard job. They barely defeated the Braves in the first game there and in the sec- ond the rangy Fargo Midgets demor- alized the play of the Capital City quint and trounced them, 34-9. The Fargo defeat is the only one the De- mons have had so far this season. ‘There are other elements that will enter the Friday night contest. In all previous Mandan-Bismarck battles the games never have been won un- til the final whistle has blown. A capacity crowd, larger than the trowd which witnessed the first meet- Inique Friday night's card will be unique in that in addition to the Papoose- Imp preliminary the Mandan Inde- pendents will meet the Bismarck Phantoms at 9:30 p. m., following on the heels of the feature battle be- tween the Demon-Brave tilt. The Phantoms, under the leader- svip of Neil O. Churchill, have a string of 21 victories so far this sea- son, and are serious contenders for the state independent title. In an early season game the Phantoms needed three overtime periods to beat the Mandan quint. In the final period “Shaky” Schaumberg unlossened, toss- ing in three field goals to win the battle. Coach George “Baldy” Hays, Bis- marek mentor, still is a little worried er Johnny Spriggs’ ankle. Spriggs hurt his ankle in the Jamestown game, but it was thought that it was/ healed sufficiently for the Minot con- test last Saturday. Tuesday, Spriggs’ ankle still bothered him and Hays may wish to save him for an eastern trip next week. Hays and McMahan are undecided on their line-ups. In the event that Spielman is definitely out of the game, McMahan undoubtedly will use Smith, Saunders or Magne Syvrud in his place. In case that Spriggs will be unable to play, Hays probably will use either George Allen or Leo Ben- ser at his forward position, Duffers to Swell Ranks of Golfers Chicago Club Maker Believes Scottish Game Will Attract | TO BEAT DEMONS | C utcome of Bismarck-Mandan Contest Next Frid ay Call Called Tossup GABBY STREET SUMS UP CARDS’ PENNANT CHANCES AS GOOD Dempsey Ducks Many Fights OutofRing Former Heavyweight champ| Declares He Will Never Man- age a Fighter By EDWARD J. NEIL New York, Feb. 18—(P)—Can you imagine Jack Dempsey running away | in a panic because a 135-pounder dared him to put up his fists and fight like a man? It has happened. The Old Man Mauler would tackle anything that ever lived inside the ropes of a prize ring, but wax pug-| nacious out in public and you'll lose | part of your audience abruptly. Juries | in damage suits have ways of sympa- thizing with the amateur warrior. “Drunks,” he says, “are the worst. They think they can lick the world. T've run away from more fights out-| side the ring than I ever had in| them.” | Dempsey probably won’t fight again because no one has asked him to. His comeback “feelers” haven't excited | anyone to make him an offer. He'd} rather keep on refereeing, but he is/ subject to financial temptation. One thing he has sworn never to do is manage a fighter. They gave him Leo Lomski once and he gave Leo hor in right back. the Is Great Host He is one of the greatest hosts in Oe sport.

Members of the Mandan crew include Phil Helbling, Freddy Swanson, Frank Heidt and Eddie Steinbruck, and others. Arrangements also have been com- pleted for a contest here early in March between the Phantoms and the Cando basketball team. The Cando quint has won the state inde- pendent basketball tournament for the last three years, ever since the league was organized. Their original team three alternate players. The Cando quint also defeated the Canadian independent basketball champions last year as well as the runners-up Orsatti, STATES BOTTOMLEY IS DUE FOR GREAT YEAR THIS SEASON: ist. Louis Club Manager Pre- dicts a Stronger Slab Staff Than in 1930 HAS MANY NEW CANDIDATES Thinks Cardinal Outfield Will Be Best in Major League Circuits By GABBY STREET Manager, St. Louis Cardinals Before the 1930 season opened I said that in my opinion the Cardinals were good enough to win. Today, I believe that the club is as strong, ‘if not stronger, than it was a year ago at this time.

Obvious charity embarrasses him. He was sitting with Tex Rickard at his attorney’s table inside the court- room rail on the opening day of Jack Kearns’ suit against him when he no- ticed a big fellow with a pronounced limp coming into the room. He turned away quickly and scrooched way down in the seat. Only one person in the place saw. him drag all the money he had from both pockets, put the bills in one hand and the change back, lean over, whisper to Rickard, and as quietly frisk him of every bit of paper money he carried. Dempsey straightened up then, crumpled the bills into his right hand, and with a show of great surprise discovered the big, dragging fellow as he was helped into a seat. He rushed over, wrung his hand for a long time, chatted with him, and came back to his seat. His right hand was empty.
