‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1 Close and Hard-Fought Battle Predicted-for Mandan-Bismarck Game NEW BASEBALL POWER MAY DEMONS MAY LOSE | TWO MEN FOR TILT | WITH BRAVE QUINT Friday Night Battle to Be In- teresting, as Neither Team Rules as Favorite LARGE CROWD IS EXPECTED McMahan and Hays Worried Over Positions Left Vacant by Cage Veterans Basketball fans who will see the Mandan-Bismarck cage battle will gather at the new World War Memorial building at 7:30 p. m. Friday, for the second contest between the rival squads. ‘There was a time when Demon fol- Towers were fairly confident of win- ning every game, but that confidence has been shaken recently through the marvelous development of the Man- dan quint. Johnny Spriggs may be out of the game with a sore ankle and early ‘Wednesday Wade Green, sophomore Demon guard, displayed an infected finger that may keep him out of the battle. The loss of both will be a severe handicap for Coach George “Baldy” Hays’ squad and a consider- able factor should Mandan win. To Be Interesting Tilt ‘The second tilt between the two teams always is interesting, but this year it is particularly so, in view of the fact that there seems to be no pre-battle favorite. As far as actual this season there is no efficient one, both clubs seem to be on a@ par even though Coach “Baldy” Hays’ athletes beat Minot and James- town while the Braves lost. Which me will start for Bismarck will not be known until the whistle blows, Hays may use Agre and Ben- ser or Allen at forwards, Tait at center, Lester “ 10” +Dohn at [pause or erowrs ———-——- - -- mviwtr RACE N AMER ASEBALL'S THE EDDIE COLLINS-HEINIE ZIMM footrace in the 1917 world series is still a subject of hot stove league discussion.

NEL ( New York, Feb. 19.—(@)—Gene ‘Tun- ney was stretched on a rubbing table in his training quarters at Strouds- burg, Pa., resting while Lou Fink kneaded his muscles. His first duel with Jack Dempsey for the heavy- weight championship was still a month away. Old Bill McCabe, kindly, paternal, stuck his fuzzy white head through the half opened door. He glared at the newspapermen crowding around. “Jimmie Bronson’s here, Gene,” he said. Bow-Tie Jim from Joplin, one of the finést characters in the fight busi- ness, walked over to the -big marine jand shook his hand. He had come to help Tunney prepare for the title shot. Alone of the small crowd in the dressing room he thought Gene could whip Dempsey. “The Almighty,” he said, looking down into Tunney’s face, “molded you to lick Dempsey. You are the cham- pion.” | ‘Tunney Is Serious Tunney looked up at Bronson, seri- ous faced, earnest. For a moment he {thought he was being kidded. He re- alized he wasn’t.

An exceptionally large crowd is ex- pected to attend the second meeting of the two teams Friday night. The battle Friday will be unique in that three Bismarck quints will meet three Mandan quints.
