THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1931. HERE ON MARCH 26 ‘oach Saalwaechter Scheduled to Bring First-String Team for Contest WILL FORM ATHLETIC CLUB fifty per Cent of Proceeds Over Expenses Will Be Donated to Red Cross Announcement that the North Da- ota Agricultural college basketball eam will play the Bismarck Phan- toms at the Liberty Memorial build- ing March 26 was made Tuesday by ‘Milton Rue, chairman of a commit- tee of local sportsmen which has ar- ranged for the contest. The game, the first in which a col- fVége“basketball aggregation has ap- peared on the Missouri Slope in sev- | eral years, will be a curtain-raiser to the state high school basketball ‘tournament opening the next day. It ‘was arranged, Rue said, partly for the purpose of giving members of the visiting high school aggregations an opportunity to see two teams of ma- jor caliber in action. Fifty per cent of the proceeds of the contest will g> to the Red Cross for use in char- ity work. Although no mention of the fact ‘was made in the contract with the Bison signed by Rue and his asso- ‘ciates, it was believed by members of | the committee that the Bison mentor, | L. T. Saalwaechter, was desirous of | attending the state tournament and | jot having his men do so. ‘The cream of the state's high school basketball talent will be here for the tournament and Saalwaechter is be- Meved to feel that the appearance of the Aggies in a pre-tournament con- [test may cause some of these to look with interested eyes upon the Fargo institution when it comes time for them to continue their education.

Sometimes Jim opens a big book and the little look properly awed, as some photographs. The photographs include snapshots of Jim being handed something by the King of Sweden, and there are pictures of what the king gave him. There's a picture of a bronze Vi- ship, which Jim got for winning bust of Sweden's king, which went to Jim for winning the penta- thlon. It’s hard to find a reason for the former athletic. { “Guess its’ an old story,” he grins “I liked to be a good fellow.

It ; would take more than a mere man- jager, however. to predict where they will finish in the standing. In spite of the Groves, Ferrells, Crowders, Malones, Grimes’ and Vances, I consider the White Sox pitching staff tne of the best in the major leagues, now that it is assured that Alphonse Thomas has recovereé mound work last season. Tommy won only five games for us last year, which is only a third as many vic- tories as he won in his first year with the Sox in 1926, his worst up to 1930 I fully expect him to come througir with 15 or more wins this season. Ted Lyons, of course, must be con- sidered our ace pitcher. His record lin eight years bears this out. Ted is always good for about 20 games. But {we have other pitchers. ) | TI look for a great year from Cara- | way. who won 10 games last year in spite of ailing tonsils and lack of jWeight. He has had his tonsils re- ‘moved and has put on 20 pounds ‘and Hal McKain, who hurt his back and was of little use to us last sea- | {son, will be ready again. Red Faber jshould not be overlooked, either. {Having the spitball all to himself in the American League this season, Fa- {ber may cause a lot of trouble among the hitters.

Becausy’ of a lack of pitchers last season, I had to use Braxton in starting role but I believe he will be of most use in sav- ing games started by other pitchers. Have Good Catchers | Everyone knows we are better fixed (behind the bat than at the start of: the 1930 season.

EightBasketball | | Teams Preparing | For Beulah Meet |Rogers Hornsby Makes No Pre- dictions but Admits Squad Holds Promise Avalon, Santa Catalina Island \calif., March 3—()—The spectre of ‘ast year's ill-fated happenings, which went a long way toward keeping the Cubs from a National league pennant. \has put caution on the tongues of those who would like to prophesy a Igreat year for the Chicago Cubs, | Rogers Hornsby, playing manager. who figured prominently in these disastrous occurrences, refuses to pre- dict, although he admits that the pitching prospects are much: better and the rest of the squad holds great- er promise. ‘William Wrigley Jr., whose money has made this possible, vouchsafes that it is the “best outfit he has ever seen assembled here,” but he recalls the untimely death of Harold Carlson, veteran pitcher, Hornsby with a broken leg, and Lester Bell and Riggs Stephenson with arm injuries, and will not forecast his club's chances. Believes Staff Is Good The pitching staff is so good the Rajah is puzzled as to just whose names will be crossed off the roster. He contemplates keeping 11 of the 16 who reported. Besides such veterans as Charles Root, Guy Bush, Pat Malone, Sheriff Blake, at least two of the rookies who hold promise and. three tried and proved hurlers from Boston, Cin- cinnati and Philadelphia are helping to make the spring training grind cheerful. Of these Bob Smith, obtained from the Braves, and Lester Sweetland, from the Phillies, stand out in par- ticular, while Frank May—like Sweet- land, a powerful left-hander—is counted on to turn in his usual wins over the New York Giants. A pair of right-handers stand out over the group of five newcomers. Bug Ed Baecht, whose curve ball earned him 26 victories with Los An- geles of the Pacific Coast league last year and a chance with the Cubs, has taken to big league hurling well, while Hornsby has also been impressed with the work of a strapping Arkansas youth, Lon Warneke, who came up from Reading, Pa., of the Internation- al league. Will Not Overlook Rookies The Rajah will not overlook Art Teachout, youthful southpaw who finished last season strong, as well as Bob Osborn of last year’s staff. Although Hornsby says without hes- itation that he figures to use Hack Wilson, Riggs Stephenson and Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler as his regular outfield. he is pleased with the spring training bat work of Johnny Moore, up for the second time from Los Angeles, and Vincent Barton, a big Canadian from Baltimore. They both hit .342 last year. Rogers intends to play right through at second base, and contemplates us- ing the same infield as last year, with Charles Grimm at first, Elwood Eng- lish at short, and Lester Bell at third.
