.THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1981 ATTEND BISON TILT WITHPHANTOMFIVE More Than 64 High School Ath- letes Will be on Hand for State Tournament GREAT INTEREST IS SHOWN Four Missouri Slope Athletes Will be Members of Saal- waechter’s Quintet More than 64 high school athletes, representing the outstanding teams in the state, will begin arriving in Bismarck Thursday for the 18th an- nual state high school basketball urnament. ‘othe athictes will be only a small part of the high school population of the state that will be on hand for the annual cage classic of North Dakota. Reserve ticket orders received from cities in the state which have teams representing them in the tourney are pouring in according to W. H. Payne, Bismarck, member of the committee in charge of the tournament here. Basketball fans from Valley City hhave already asked for a block re- servation of 100 tickets while Bow- | man cage enthusiasts will be strongly represented, having ordered 75 tickets. ‘Most of the teams are expected to arrive early Thursday to be on hand for the Bison-Phantom tilt Thursday night at the Memorial building, which will be the curtain-raiser to the bas- ketball meet of Friday and Saturday. Fans are expected to crowd the Bismarck World War Memorial build- ing for the Thursday classic as well as for the state tournament games. ‘A great deal of interest attaches itself to the Thursday tilt by reason of the fact that Vern Duchene, new- ly-elected Nodak cage captain, will appear with the Bismarck Phantoms against Leonard Saalwaechter's Ag- juad. Soo Blope fans will be in- terested in the encounter from the fact that three Mandan youths, former stars at Mandan high school, ‘and one former Bismarck high school cager, will be members of the Bison squad. Lloyd McDonald, Donald Arthur and Blair Seitz, will repre- sent Mandan, while Gus Schwartz ‘will represent Bismarck. ‘The teams which are expected to arrive in Bismarck Thursday and Friday for the state tournament ar ‘Crosby—Marvin Jacobson, capta Maurice Gehrke, Har- old Lee, Kenneth Ostroot, Kenneth Robert Shapland, Stanley d-Conch Burton M.

Fe RESHEDD LINES @ Frank Shields Is Only Player Expected to Win Single Event for U. S. New York, March 25.—(7)—With tennis history repeating itself and the United States losing the doubles, the star spangled forces Wednesday night face France in the final two singles matches of the “Winter Davis Cup” competition expected to lose. The score stood two to one in France’s favor Wednesday with Jean Borotra, Davis cup veteran and lead- er of the French team, favored to defeat Berkeley Bell in one of the singles matches and clinch the vic- tory for the tri-color. Frank X. Shields, on the basis of the form he showed Monday night in handing Borotra a surprising straight set defeat, was favored to take Chris- tian Boussus in the other singles but to no apparent purpose, other than to make the final score two to three. Borotra and SBoussus defeated George Lott, Jr., and John Van Ryn in the doubles match of the inter- national competition last night to give France what may prove to be the margin of victory. The Americans’ defeat was achieved in straight sets, 1-5, 6-4, 6-4, with the happy-go-lucky Borotra laying the major part.

D., March 25.—Win- ning all but two games played this season and piling up a@ score of 569 Points to their opponents’ 294, Bow- man high school may be the dark horse of the state high school basket- ball tournament in Bismarck Friday and Saturday.

For those who crave the definite figures, twenty-nine inter -league games have been played so far and of these the American League has won fifteen and the National fourteen. ‘The Braves, after taking a series of jolts on the chin, turned on the New York Yankees for a couple of vic- tories and the Giants finally man- aged to get an edge on the Chicago White Sox, three wins to two. Despite their recent setbacks, the Yankees still are the heaviest win- ners of the grapefruit league with seven victories and four defeats. The Philadelphia Athletics and the Braves lead all the rest in defeats with six lickings in 11 games apiece but Cin- cinnati has a perfect record with four setbacks in “as many starts against American League teams. In games of all descriptions, the ‘Boston Red Sox lead all the rest with four wins and no losses with Wash- ington a step behind with five vic- tories in six starts. Against major league opposition only, the Chicago Cubs are the leaders with four tri- umphs, all over Pittsburgh of their own circuit, and no defeats. .

George seems to look pretty good here, though it was said that because of his gen- eral ill health Connie Mack sent the A’s ace to the springs early and in- structed him to report to the team late this year. Pick Athletics American Loop Champs SPRING TRANG |[—— Waterton rear Philadelphia Club Has Winning Infield Combination From Last Season ‘New York, March 25—(#)—The Phil+ adelphia Athletics, class of baseball in general and the American league in particular for two years, will start the 1931 race favored to make it three pennants in a row. ‘The odds in support of the A’s may not be quite as long as they were & year ago, after their 1929 stampede. Observers have detected a few creak ing parts in the world’s championship machine guided by 68-year-old Con: nie Mack. The probability is that the Ath- letics, as a club, are getting no bet~ ter. They were at the peak when they led the Yankees to the wire by 18 games in 1929. Last year they were pressed to finish eight games ahead of the surprising Washington Senators. The margin may be slim- mer this year, if an upset is not ac- tually sprung by one of the other contenders, but there is no substan- tial evidence on which to dislodge the A's as favorites. Is Winning Combination ‘The champions will go into action two weeks hence with their “big five” still the greatest winning combina- tion in baseball, assuming that At Simmons is persuaded to sign his contract in time to support the efforts of Grove, Earnshaw, Cochrane and Foxx. They have an infield combi- nation whose ability to continue at a championship pace is problematical, but the essentials of punch and pitch- ing remain. Washington and Cleveland, the sec- ond and fourth place clubs last year, if they fulfill early prospects and con~ tinue the development manifest last year, figure to help make the race closer and more interesting than it St. Petersburg—When the New York Yankees break camp here Fri- Gay George Pipgras, the eminent right hander, will not accompany the team, Big George, who recently under- went an operation for appendicitis, ‘will stay here to recuperate for sev- eral weeks, rejoining the team only when it reaches the Yankee Stadium. San Antonio.—The old story of the ill wind is being quoted again in the New York Giants’ camp. A sore arm which has put Hughey Critz temporarily out of action has given “mysterious” Gilmore a chance to appear at second base in the regular lineup. The mystery about Gilmore principally concerned his name. Until he relieved Critz he had been just another of the unknown youngsters around the camp and it took reporters sever- al innings of diligent inquiry be- fore one of them found that Gil- more was named Russell. Havana.—Their brief visit to Cuba hhas so impressed the Brooklyn Rob- ‘ns they are considering a return for a longer time next year. President Frank York said Tuesday that the club might consider spending two of three weeks in Havana in 1932 and some of the players and war corre- spondents have decided it ought to be made a permanent training camp. Collins won 16 games for the Phillies last year, his second sea- son in the majors, and is under- stood to be holding out for $12,000 this year. Sanford—The champion Philadel- phia Athletics presented a somewhat battered appearance when they reached here Wednesday on their roundabout journey homeward. Bis- hop, McNair and Higgins are out with injuries and Manager Mack list- ed a patched up first team to engage the Rookies. Foxx was moved from first to third, Todd took the initial bag and Dykes went to second. of the ve- ilsage Fe ga WITH MAJOR LEAGUERS has been in years. ‘Tampa.—Reports that the Cincin- nati Reds had offered $40,000 for Chick Hafey, holdout outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, were discounted here Wednesday. In the absence of Sidney Weil, president, the report could not be confirmed, but manager Dan Howley said he doubted that President Weil would pay that much. New Orleans.—As if the uncer- tainties of leg injuries suffered by Johnny Hodapp and George Detore weren’t enough, along comes Jonah Goldman's failure at the bat to complicate infield troubles of the Cleveland Indians, Hodapp had been slated for sec- ond, Detore for third and Gold- than for short, but now there isn’t Pao infield job definitely de- e San Diego—Manager Stanley Har- tis is beginning to find some encour- agement in the work of his young pitchers.

Hod’s rated one of the most serious ‘The New York Yankees, under Joe McCarthy for the first time, will be dangerous at any time because of their tremendous punch, but their pennant hopes depend on finding the right infield combination and consist- ent pitching. Detroit Strong Contender Detroit may turn up as a fifth con- tender for first division honors, at least, especially as Bucky Harris seems to have developed some fine new material. The. prospects are that the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Browns will have a party of their own in the sec- ond flight. At least five of the eight clubs have Shaken up their lineups to such an extent that only the campaign itself will show how effective have heen jefforts to tighten up the circuit, so completely dominated for two years by the A’s, The pennant bee is buzzing busiest, perhaps, among the Washington Sen- ators, whose drive to second place under Walter Johnson last season furnished @ sensational surprise, Liké the A’s, Washington denends on the ability of a number of veterans to continue imbibing from the fountain of youth. A superlative pitching staff and brilliant defense, plus the all- around play of Shortstop Joe Cronin, features the senatorial threat. Cleveland, stressing a stronger at~ tack, also banks on the work of a fine pitching staff headed by Wesley | Ferrell but has a hole to plug at third base, vacated by Joe Sewell. Sewell May Help Sewell, oddly enough, may be the solution to the Yankees’ infield prob- ° Jem, having shown every intention of staging a comeback with the New Yorkers. If so, the warclubs of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Combs and others will contribute to a lot of havoc in the forthcoming scramble. Detroit’s chances seem to depend upon the ability of outfield newoome ers to come through with the neces- sary batting punch, something the enough hitting outfield, with a star youngster, Mel Simons, supporting jolley Car Reynolds, but the club's infield worries will continue unless recruits at first and short ful- fill Donie Bush’s expectations. ‘The Red Sox still have a fin pitch- eral capable newcomers, but the eup= ply of base hits is not likely to be d Approves 12 Swim Records International Amateur Athletié Body Recognizes Helene Madison’s Aquatic Marks Boston, turned loose a wild right swing and knocked out Tait Littman, Cudahy, Wis., in the second round of their scheduled 10-round bout, for the Both Littman and Sullivan, favor- ites in their respective engagements, McIntosh Wins Cage Raleigh, N.
