Bismarck, following its easy victory over Max last week, entered the Re- gional C title battle on even terms with the Braves and the game turned out to be one of their hardest. It was Bismarck’s third win over Mandan this year. Mandan played inspired basketball. Both squads played airtight ball and the Braves overcame a 3-2 Bismarck lead in the first quarter to hold a 5-4 advantage at halftime. The turning point of the game came when Captain Frank Boehm, flashy Mandan forward, was put out of the game on fouls with only two minutes of the third quarter remain- ing. In the final period, Bismarck proved its superiority. The Demons tightened their defense and staged a rally that gained them a clear margin of victory.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931 f Bismarck Scores 17-12 Win Over Mandan to Enter State Tourney ENDERLIN DEFEATS JAMESTOWN FOR INDEPENDENT CROWN UP HARD FIGHT IN |Mike Hall Is Winner at Agua Caliente Dark Horse Sets New Record of 2 Minutes 3 Seconds for $100,000 Purse Agua Caliente, Mexico, March 23. —(P)—Mike Hall, a thoroughbred which rose from the ranks of the/ Platers, Monday at the age of seven was the second Agua Caliente hand- | icap champion, giving his owner, Robert M. Eastman the world’s rich- est _stake of $100,000. The son of ourless virtually came from retirement to win the second re- newal of the classic, which started in 1917 as the Coffroth handicap, to double his total earnings in six years of turf activities. Mike Hall staged a gallant drive Sunday to win from the Choctaw of the Audley farm stable, Miami, Fia., by a neck, after leaving the barrier in the mile and a quarter test the last of the ten starters. Plucky Play, from the Northway stable, San Jose, Calif, was third, less than three lengths back of the victor. Breaks Record ‘The fast time of two minutes three seconds, a new track record by one- fifth of a second, was too furious a pace for Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s Sun Beau, odd-on favorite. This big bay gelding from Bing- hamton, N. Y., was quoted in the fu- ture books 1 to 2, although at only one instance during the spirited struggle did he lead. While his running mate, Hal P. Headley's Pigeon Hole, set a burning Pace for the field, Mike Hall moved along wisely in the ruck, with Steve O'Donnell in the boot. Caught in the pack on the first stretch, Sun Beau was forced to check his pace frequently and Jockey Frank Coltilett! was never able to get him in line for a good run until his strength was spent. Mike Hall hit the half distance in ninth place, then moved rapidly to the front, passing the Choctaw in the last sixteenth of a mile. Noran Claims Foul Near the finish the pair came into close contact and after the race Jockey Willie Moran, up on the Miami gelding, claimed a foul, but it was immediately disallowed. Fourth behind Plucky Play finish- ed Alexander Pantages, with Sun Beau fifth, tiring badly. Ervast trail- ed in sixth position, Pigeon Hole was seventh, Caruso eighth; Lady Broad- cast ninth and Sandy Ford last. H. M. Woolf's filly, Lady Broadcast, was figured as the most logical entry to give the fame seeking Sun Beau @ race, but she never had a chance. Mike Hall paid $20.80, $6 and $4.20 on $2 pari-mutuel tickets. The Choctaw was good for $6.60 to place and $4 to show, while Plucky Play paid $14.20 for third. Failure of the field to get away from the barrier immediately had much to do with Sun Beau's defeat. A crowd of 25,000 saw the race under a hot sun. Byron Spielman, Mandan center, eae Siena velit mban ct! ths contort with six points. Was Defensive Battle Numerous fouls and few field goals featured the contest. Bismarck made only four field goals during the en- tire game but annexed nine out of 15 free throw attempts. Mandan iotaled three field goals and made six out of 14 tries from the foul line. Personal fouls thwarted both basket- ball teams. Johnny Spriggs, Bis- marck forward, was put out of the contest with but three and one-half minutes of the game remaining, fol- Jowing close on the heels of Boehm, Mandan forward. The Demons were charged with 13 personals, and Man- aan was penalized for committing 12 The contest was marked by fast play. More than 2,000 Missouri Slope basketball fans attended the battle. At times the noise of the crowd made the referee's whistle inaudible. Tait Opens Scoring Tait opened the scoring for the Demons. He was fouled by House and made good his gift shot. Boehm followed with a free throw after he was fouled by Dohn. Spielman made another free throw on a foul and Tait responded with @ brace of charity Demons by sur- quarter to gain a margin and held it until two minutes of the third quarter re- mained, when Dohn sank a short shot to put the hag ec era rige fouls in the last half. Johnny Spriggs fouled Spielman three and one-half minutes before the contest was over and was put out of the game. George Allen, replaced him and, in the first play after he entered, sank the last field goal of the game. The summary: Posmarck an— *s 4 i bel Sdote doen ohn, Allen, f Totals..

Four singles encounters and one doubles match make up the program. The American team which faces the Frenchmen is composed of Frank Shields, second ranking American player, Berkeley Bell, conqueror of Shields and runner-up to Borotra in the indoor singles championship, and the Davis Cup stars, John Van Ryn and George Lott. Bell was added to the team partly as a reward for his brilliant showing last week and part- ly because John Doeg, first ranking American player, did not believe he was in condition to play.

D., March 23.—Enderlin’s four-year quest of a state independ- ent basketball championship was re- warded here Saturday night as the Red Devils, conquerors of the Phan- toms, rallied in the final period of the championship game in the annual state tournament to nose out the Jamestown Tigers, 19 to 17.

Connie Mack, Philadelphia Man- ager, Has Impressive Rookies for 1931 Season Fort Myers, Fla., March 23.—(7)— Development of the Philadelphia Athletics in their spring training camp has left something to be de- ‘sired, to judge from the performances, even though nothing has occurred ‘serious enough to dislodge the world’s champions as favorites in the forth- coming pennant race. Although there is no pay-off on the results of exhibition games, the de- feat of the A’s in three out of four games with their world’s series rivals, The St. Louis Cardinals, did not Prove enjoyable to Connie Mack and his associates, with the start of the season only about three weeks off, ‘Mack’s principal concerns are these: Mack’s Principal Concerns (1) The ability of the club's vet- eran infield to withstand the wear and tear of another full campaign ef- fectively. (2) The ability of Grove Earnshaw again to shoulder the Pitching burden to the extent of win- ning 50 games between them, besides saving a flock of others. (3) The annual task of signing Al Simmons, the club’s premier punch, complicated by reports that the fa- mous outfielder intends to demand a $100,000 three-year contract. Only the run of the season will fur- nish the answer to the first of them. Mack has several promising young- sters for infield replacements if Dykes, Boley and Bishop fail to meet expectations or suffer mishaps. These reserves, however, are still short of big league requirements in experience. ‘The A’s gained a third sacker but lost their best utility man when Dykes was assigned to regular work. In seeking support or the twin hur- ling aces, the A’s have uncovered two unusually promising recruits in Hank McDonald, the California boy, and Lew Krausse, an 18-year-old product “Jof Philadelphia suburban diamonds. McDonald has been the more impres- sive in exhibition games. He has had the benefit of “AA” experience, with Portland and the Pacific Coast League. He is big, fast and strong, for his 19 years. Has Impressive Rookies Krausse, also a right-hander, work- ed with the A’s late last year and has made a strong impression, especially on Cochrane. If Mack can get winning results from one of these youths this year, he will be well fixed, for he counts on consistent work from Rube Walberg, Leroy Mahaffey, Eddie Rommell and Bill Shores in support of Grove and Earnshaw. Mack, when the subject was brought up, told the Associated Press he did not classify Simmons as a holdout, having agreed with the out- fielder to postpone final discussion of salary terms until they meet in Phil- adelphia before the season opens. Simmons did not sign until just be- fore the opening game a year ago. If his demands are as high as they have been reported, it may take another last-minute confab to get Al into the starting lineup. The best bet, how- ever, is that he will be in there.
