Churchill, Phantom Man- ager, Worried Over Re- serve Strength Final preparations were madc Wed- nesday by Coach George “Baldy” Hays, Bismarck high school mentor, and Neil ©, Churchill, Bismarck Phantom manager, for their games this week-end. Coach Hays has been sending his squad through their drills with em- phasis on basket-shooting. Wednes- day night he spent most of the time drilling his squad in defensive tac- tics. Hays intends to use Johnny Spriggs, Eddie Agre, Harold Tait, Lester Dohn and Wade Green in the starting lineup against Crosby in the last game of the first round of the state basketball tournament. Chur¢hill is worried over his lack of reserve strength. Illness has re: duced his reserve ranks. Since thei Minot game Pete Verduin, flashy Phantom forward, has been ill. Churchill doubts that he will be able to get into uniform Thursday night. Churchill also is worried over the fact that Vern DuChene, Nodak cap- tain, may be unable to get here in time to take part in the game. ‘The probable Phantom lineup for Thursday night’s game is made up of Schaumberg and Thornburg at for- ward, Hays at center and Mike Ges- ton and George Heidt at guard. For reserve strength, Churchill will use DuChene and Benser at forwards and Hoffman at guard. Hanna Says Spud Cagers Are Best He Ever Coached Moorhead Again .d Again Prominent Fig- ure in Minnesota Basket- ball Tournament Minneapolis, March 26.—()— St. ‘Paul Central Thursday night launches its campaign to hold the state high school basketball championship in the Twin Cities when it meets Mankato, second region champions, at 9 p. m., in the final first round game of the tournament at the University of Min- nesota fieldhouse. Mechanic Arts of St. Paul won the title in 1930 but was eliminated dur- ing the city league schedule before the district and regional tournaments this year. Central, like Mechanic Arts last year, is given little chance to get into the championship game, as it has two extremely hard opponents to down. If successful against Mankato, a won- derful defensive team, Thursday night, it will have to beat the winner of the Moorhead-Buffalo game Fri- day night. Moorhead’s Spuds, runners-up last. year, have not the experience the championship Moorhead teams of 1928 and 1929 had, but Coach Glenn Hanna tays it is the best team he has ever coached. They are favorites to win from Buffalo. First games in the tdurnament were to be played Thursday afternoon, Rochester nie Glencoe opening the meet at 3 p. m., and Chisholm, tour- ney favorite, playing against Bemidji an hour later. The winners of these two games meetin the 8 p.m. semi- final game Friday. night. Rippa.:e Outpoints Heenan Summerville Wahpeton, N.

We have & lot to be thankful for this season. ‘The team looks pretty good and the mental attitude of some has changed for the better.” Winter Haven—The latest and perhaps final message Phil Col- lins has for the Phillies is that as leaving Pronto for his home in Chicago, after failing to agree with the club on ‘salary. The gitcher has had several talks with ident Ruch, but there was no result, St. Petersburg—Jqe McCarthy, manager of the New York. Yankees, has been embarrassed with a wealth of infield material through the train- ing season but he seems to have set- tied on his lineup. According to the experts, the present arrangement is Gehrig at first base, Lazzeri at sec- oad, Sewell at third and Lary at shortstop. Havana—Babe Herman, Brook- lyn’s slugging outfielder, is quite sure his visit to Havana has made him popular with Cuban fans, “I guess they don’t know the Babe here, ch?” Herman com- mented, pointing to a big head- Hine in a Cuban paper. “I didn’t even get a hit Thursday and look at ee big type.” t means you struck out twice,” explained the learned Gordon Slade. “It says ‘Herman Penchado Dos Veces,” struck out twiee.” “Well, I must be pretty good,” replied the Babe, “when they put it in big type when I fan.” San Antonio—Take it from Chief Bender, Giant pitching coach, pitch- ing is the important part of modern baseball, especially where the Giants are concerned. “Hitters like ‘Terry, Ott, Jackson and Hogan have their swings grooved,” says the chief. “They may slump a little or gain a little but in tie end they will produce their bas- ketful of base hits. Pitchers these days are the unknown quantity.” Bradenton—With no exhibition game carded until Sunday, the St. Louis Cardinals set- tled down to the routine of two sessions Practice daily, Manager Gabby Street plans to give consid- erable thought to left field, where holdout Chick Hafey fermerly held out. Ernie Orsatti appears the leading candidate for the Place if fails to to Hafey a ‘West Palm Beach—Manager Bill | Killefer of the St. Louis Browns be- lieves he has found a pitcher capable of fooling American League batters. Wallace Herbert, a southpaw, with Wichita Falls last year, has been do- ing so well Killefer is considering re- taining him throughout the season. Los Angelee—Smarting from a | 12-inning setback handed them at Les Angeles Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates went out after the Detroit Tigers Thursday. The club will play four games here. Jewel Ens, Pirate skipper, said Kremer would start for the Pitts- burgers. New Orleans—Joe Vosmik, young- ster from Cleveland’s sand lots, is ‘ikely to win the left field job for the Indians, but he'll not make ‘his de- but before the’ home town fans. Manager Roger Peckinpaugh believes to send the youth before his friends on the opening day in Cleveland would not be good psychology. Tampa—Manager Dan Howley of the Cincinnati Reds thinks he may have, in the person of Biff Wysong, a left handed sensation who will develop into his. pitch- ing ace. San Francisco—Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago Cubs, early in the training season indicated there might be several important shifts in the Bruin’ battlefront—but at least one of them has not been made. He did switch his infield around to make a place at short for Recruit Bill Jurges, indicating Lester Bell may not be used regularly at third where Woody English has been worked. However, Kiki Cuyler still is in right field and Hack Wilson is in center. San Antonio—How much the Chicago White Sox may expect from the spitball pitching of Uu- ban (Red) Fabcr, will not be known until the weather gets good and hot. Faber, 42 years old and has been with the Sox through their high atid lean seasons since 1913, has been training in his own leis- urely fashion and will not be worked until there is no danger of his ancient arm suffering from chilly weather. Mobile—Tom Oliver of the Red Sox, favorite son of Montgomery, Ala., is trying to solve the low ball problem. Tom is keeping his old wines batting stance, but he’s holding his bat in more level fashion in an at- tempt to lose the tendency to “wing at the low ones.” St. Petersburg—The Braves and Cardinals have effected a swap— but it has turned out to be a swap in hats. Judge Emil Fuchs, Braves own- er, got a $15 fedora from the Cardinals’ vice president, Branch Rickey. And Judge Emil gave Rickey.2 $7 hat. The judge was all excited over the deal and was won't to boast all over the camp until he discovered a hole burnt in his newly acquired $15 lid.

Sir H. Wernher’s Ballasport, Capt. Brownhill’s Drintyre and B. D. Davis’ have sounded like the coast artillery at practice but it merely is the blast- ing operations of baseball's heavy duty boys, tuning up for one of the hottest pennant races the old Nation- al League ever has had in prospect. The task of selecting a probable winner in the forthcoming battle is just as much guesswork as it was in trying to detect the eventual winner last August, before the St. Louis Cardinals braced and rushed to the front. The first four clubs were separated by only six games at the finish of the 1930 pennant race. These four— St. Louis, Chicago, New York and Brooklyn—all will toss re-inforced lineups into the thick of this year's action. All rank distinctly as poten- tial winners. ‘The total list of contenders in- and evening.

The renewal of this family quarrel | will keep the chief participants pret- ty well occupied all season but there isn’t a National Leaguer anywhere who isn’t longing for a chance to see the American League's entry thrown for a loss in the world’s series climax. For four straight years, the Nation- al League has waged the bitterest sort of pennant scraps, only to see its flag-bearer take it on the chin, twice from the Yankees and twice from the Athletics. All told the American Leaguers have won 16 of the last 19 series en- gagements. Consequently, the Ni tional League partisans do not seem to care who wins the pennant so long us the winner can do something to re- store’ the prestige of the older cir- cuit. Cards Eager To Start The St. Louis Cardinals, to a man, ‘yearn for another opportunity. They put up a great fight before yielding to the A’s last fall. This spring they walloped the Mackmen in three out of four exhibition engagements. There is no payoff on this but the Red Birds regard it as a sample of what they can do when fully aroused. The fighting spirit and the fine or- ganization of the Cardinals under Gabby Street, plus the addition of two sensational young: pitchers in Dean and Derringer to an already cap- able twirling troupe, will make the champions difficult to dislodge. They have speed, punch and brains. No one appreciates better than Street, however, that he faces the strongest kind of opposition. Gabby’s belief that the Chicago Cubs will be ber of close observers. The Cubs, too, have strengthened their pitching staff, already powerful with veterans like Malone. Root and Bush. Their big “if? centers around Manager Rogers Hornsby and his ability to make @ come-back that would find tive leadership. Have Heavy Hitters Brooklyn, with an array of bludg- eoners re-inforced by Lefty O’Doul in the outfield and Fresco Thompson at seoond base, is formidable in every respect, capable of battering its way to the top by the sheer application of brute force. John McGraw, shuffling his forces for several years in quest of another ¢| winner, may have found the right combination with an impressive new- comer, Johnny Vergez, on third base and Freddy Lindstrom moved to the outfield. ‘The Giants, however, do Zot, seem. ne. well toesicit ba, Sb NO: os ee ae eae wie ithe intered : th can shake tii age + ia nee this year, has a sen- Repsinatter ‘ated to be ‘due. ‘ srcona Peso esas slash its = way fsa ast ea eS tame tet ago 56: ar hitters in Worthington, Schulmerich TaD eae ee (APE | and Sheely, but like the Phillies and a ore aa (01 | Reds, must get Pitching to ts | -represent - more- a: stumbling mortgagee, ok m 3/31 Seyi.

Frank Shields Looms As a Tilden Youthful American Ace Defeats Borotra and Boussus in International Match New York, March 26.—(?)—Frank X. Shields, a Big Bill Tilden in phy- sique if not yet in stroke, stood Thursday as an ominous shadow across France's Davis cup hopes of @ year or two hence. The strapping New York city young- ster, runner up to John Hope Doeg, of Newark, N. J., in the national ten- nis championships at poy Hills last summer, won both of his singles matches in the international indoor team competition with France, which France won three matches to two, and won them in such decisive fash- jon as to send American hopes soar- ing. His straight set defeat of Jean Bor- otra, Davis cup veteran and leader of the French team, on Monday night was the most decisive the Bounding Basque of Biarritz had ever sustained indoors at the hands of an American. Just to prove it was no flash in the pan, Shields came back Ra leceaun night to defeat Christian Boussus, France's main hope among the younger players, in an even more de- cisive fashion, giving the Frenchman but seven points in three sets and five of those in the first. broad shouldered, American youngster rifles a serve across the net in the manner of Big Bill and covers more court than the bounding Borotra. At 21 he is a better tennis player, experts say, than Tilden was at 24. The international team match, modeled elong Davis cup lines, was won by France largely because Berke- ley Bell was not quite up to the class of Boussus, Borotra and Shields. The fragile appearing Texan lost both his matches and then George Lott, Jr., and John Van Ryn, the Philadelphia pair, bowed to the French doubles team to make defeat certain. North and South Tournament Opens Pinehurst, 8.
