-Bismare | ja ~ DEMON HOOPSTERS | DEFEAT BRAVES IN FRATURE CONTEST; Capital City Imps Avenge Previ- ous Koss by Trouncing Papooses, 27-18 1,800 WITNESS BATTLES Phantoms Lead Throughout Tilt to Score 24-14 Victory Over Independents Friday night was victory night for their second triumph this season over the Mandan Braves by a 26-21 vic- tory in the feature game Friday night, In the preliminary the Capital City Imps defeated the Mandan Papooses 27-18, while in the final game the Bismarck Phantoms trounced the Mandan Independents 24-14. Eigh- teen hundred fans saw the contests. Eddie Agre, diminutive Demon for- ward, opened the scoring with a field goal. Bismarck held a 14-7 advantage at half-time. Attempting a final quarter rally! the Braves, on the short end of an 18-11 count as the third quarter end- ed, sank 10 points to the Demons’ eight. Passing Is Accurate Displaying an accurate passing at- tack and a polished defense, the Demons proved too effective for the hard-fightng Mandan quint. The Braves threatened the Demon lead in the first five minutes of the last quarter, when Leonard C. McMahan, Mandan mentor substituted Solum Boum 'usg his helghth to good ad Solum, using. ad-’ vantage tossed in three field goals before the contest ended. Exceptionally clean play featured the battle.: Only six personal fouls | were called during the entire game. Lester Dokn, Demon guard, commit- ted two fouls early in the first half, but finished the game without | ting more. Wade Green, Demon sophomore guard, played the entire game with an infected finger that bothered his and made his shots consist- ently inaccurate. Dohn, Green, and Agre of the Demon squad, and Saunders of the | Mandan quint were tied for high scoring honors with eight points each. Bismarck had three free throw tries but missed them all while the Braves bad five chances and made one. Coach George “Baldy” Hays used only five men in the contest while Coach McMahan used eight. Imps Gain Victory The Bismarck Imps gained a 6-1 advantage in the first quarter of the preliminary game and lead 14-6 at half-ti In the last half the Imps made 13 more ened py the ae Pooses were only able garner €b ‘Shepard, Imp center, held scoring honors for the preliminary game with nine points. Ernie Percy, although only contributing one field goal to the Papoose total, was outstanding for his team. In the final battle the Phantom cagers held a 13-6 lead over the Man- dan Independent squad at half-time in an uninteresting contest. ‘At no time during the final contest did the Mandan quint seriously threaten the Phantom lead. The Phantoms garnered 11 points in the second half while their ts were pnly able to get eight. Broock- Sree eid high seorine Nouers ing squad, held high with 11 points.

The showed signs of crum- bling during the latter days of Miller Huggins. Last year the Yankees made enough hits te win a pennant in any league, and scored more runs than. any other team in the majors, but they didn’t get close to the flag The fault was partly with the pitchers. The defense needs attention The best pitchers in the world can b- made to look foolish when the in- fielders and outfielders are not click- ing as a machine. In team pitching last season the Yankees were seventh, careful examination before the pitch- ers are all condemned. The Yankees were no better than sixth in club fielding during 1930.

Joey may win a place as a regu- lar if any of the young fellows miss fire, and with Sewell, Gehrig Laz- zeri, Lary, Chapman and Reese, all of them with big league experience. and Bill Werber from Albany, to work with,an efficient infield combination |should be forthcoming. ‘We have a number of young. men that I am anxious to see when ‘we get going this spring. There is Myril Hoag, the outtielder from Sacramen- | &¥ to; Pred Walker, the outfielder from Jersey City, who is a son of Dixie Walker, by the way; Catchers Karlon and Padden. and Pitchers Jim Wea- ver, from Baltimore; Lefty Weinert. from Louisville; Frank Barnes from Toronte;. Vernon Gomez from St. Paul; Gordon Rhodes from Holly- wood, and others. Rockies Get Chances A lot of problems will have to be) settled at St. Petersburg. where every rookie will have all the chance in the world to make good. This ought to be a pretty good year for the rookies, as tam an American League rookie my- self, and stand willing to be con- vinced.
