AN HARLY DEMON LEAD PROVES 100 GREAT FOR VISITING CREW Locals Have Great Combination of Backfield Stars; Line Is Improved | DAHLQUIST, OUTSTANDING Invaders Make Great Bid For Victory in Third and Fourth Quarters Bismarck kept its slate clean in a pitched battle at Hughes field Tues- day night to wrest a 13 to 6 victory from a fighting crew of Mandan Braves. The Demon victory blasted Man- dan’s hopes of ending Bismarck’s four year record of gridiron suprem- acy. A fleet Bismarck backfield worked behind effective interference to gain its victory margin before @ rejuv- inated Mandan team came back to threaten seriously in the second half. Despite three costly fumbles, the vaunted Bismarck attack clicked in the second period as the Demon backs ripped through for a series of Jong gains. Lester Dohn twisted through the Braves to score the win-| rm, ner’s first counter after a sustained march from the Brave 23-yard stripe had brought Bismarck within scoring range. Dohn slid off tackle to tally the extra point. The second touchdown followed shortly after the Demons had worked the ball deep into Mandan territory in a foreed march down the field. Benzon speared a pass from Eddie! Agre on the 20-yard stripe to race over the line for a counter. Dan's ieee for point after touchdown was short. Backs Show Drive Bismarck played stellar football all during the period. Green, Dohn and Agre showed plenty of drive to} knife through the Mandan defense for consistently long gains, ‘he line, particularly in the center, functioned well to turn back Mandan’s aggres- sive forwards. Stackhouse got off his punts well) to outkick the Braves throughout the contest. Mandan came back fighting in the third quarter to rip through the De- mon defense for long gains that re- sulted in a touchdown. Bismarck started the half with a number of reserves in the line who were unable’ to withstand the Brave’s onslaughts. Coach Roy McLeod rushed in the regulars in an attempt to avert the touchdown but Mandan scored on a) line smash by Speilman. Dahlquist of Mandan, who replaced Boehm, played a bangup brand of «ootball all during the game to cap- ture individual honors. He repeated- ly broke away for long gains to baf- fle the Demon defense and he ran| back punts brilliantly. Schlickenmeyer, Andrews and| Edick in the middle of the Demon line proved to be bulwarks on the defense as they piled up most of Mandan thrusts aimed at the center section. Murphy played well at end. Defense Stiffens Bismarck delivered in the pinches es their defense stiffened to hold ‘Mandan several times when they threatened to score in the final stanzas.

A delega- Jimmy Johnston Plans Return Engagement Between Car- nera and Sharkey | New York, Oct, 14—()—Jimmy Johnston, who will become vice presi- dent and general manager of Madi- son Square Garden tomorrow, al- ready has laid plans for a series of top-flight heavyweight bouts this! winter but he may have to get along without the services of Jack Sharkey. There were strong indicatioris Sharkey and his handlers were pre- paring to go into partial retirement, until next summer on the theory the Boston sailor's victory over huge Primo Carnera entitles Sharkey to a “shot” at Max Schmeling’s title next summer. , Johnston's plans for the next few months included a return match, in- doors, between Sharkey and Carnera, and another return battle between Sharkey and Tommy Loughran. But now it develops Sharkey’s fa- mous left thumb was hurt again Mon- day night and that Sharkey will be unable to fight for an indefinite period. It Jack persists in his winter hibernation plans, Johnstam will have to look elsewhere for his talent. It was understood that Ernie Schaaf, clouting Bostonian who is owned jointly by Sharkey and Sharkey’s manager, Johnny Buckley, was pre- pared to step in and substitute for the sailor. {SPORT SLANTS { ns o If the official check-up of National league batting figures bears out the unofficial returns and deprives Bill Terry of his crown by the margin of .0003 separating him from Chick Ha- fey of the Cardinals, the first base- man of the Giants can blame it .on ines weather and daylight saving ime. The race for the older circuit's bat- ting crown this year was three-cor- nered with Jim Bottomley staging @ late rush to take part. It went down to the last day of the season, Sept. 27, which hap- pened to mark the return of stand- ard time to the metropolitan area. The Giants played a double-head- er with Brooklyn as a finale. Terry, in the second game, registered a hit that put him in front of Hafey and| at the top of the batting heap by a fractional margin but it was getting dark rapidly. Play finally was halted by dark- ness after four innings, the game declared no contest and Terry there- tion wilt be here from Fairmont for the event and plans to present Burma @ gift, according to information re- ceived by Frank J. Webb, general) homecoming chairman. ‘The presen- tation will take place before the North Dakota-Oregon game that day. All committees in charge of the second annual Sioux Pow Wow home- coming announced progress made during the last’ week in their depart- ments under the direction of Lam- bert Huppeler, student chairman. ‘The university colors, wild rose pink and green, will predominate in car- rying out the pioneer theme.

Bison Are Preparing For Morningside Tilt Work Tuesday at the North Da- kota Agricultural college where the Bison are preparing for their open- ing North Central conference game of the season against the Morning- side Maroons consisted mainly of a scrimmage in which blocking was) stressed. Assignments were checked and the defense given some attention. Casey Finnegan, Bison tutor, and his as- sistant, Bob Lowe, seek better block- ing than the Bison showed against St. Thomas here last week. WewL, He EARNED # 5, TH’ way de LAUGHED “TH” CRUTCHES dust “Hose by robbed of the hit that meant zo much to him. On the unofficial averages com- piled by Al Munro Elias, Hafey, Terry and Bottomley finished within less, than one-thousandth of a point of each other in the closest race the National league has ever had for its batting crown. ‘To parallel it I cannot recall any- thing so close since 1910, tle year that Napoleon Lajoie, the great Cleve- land second baseman, failed by @ single point margin to catch Ty Cobb | on the last day of the season. Lajoie, as I recollect the circum- stances, collected five or six hits on the final day of the season but fin- ished with 385 to Cobb's .386. ‘Dead’ Ball Felt The effect of the less-lively ball in National league hitting circles is sharply evident with the best aver- ages a shade below 350 for the sea- son, the lowest mark since Edd Roush led the circuit in 1919 with a figure of 321. ‘This was just before the advent of the “‘jack-rabbit” sphere and the era, of -long-range firing featured by Babe Ruth. Bubbles Hargrave of the Reds led, the league with a mere .353 in an off- season for the sluggers, 1926, but otherwise the National league marks have been closer to .400 than .350. Hornsby averaged over .400 for five successive years, 1921-1925, Lefty O'Doul topped the list in 1929 with .398, and Terry was the king of the batsmen last year with the spectacu- of .401. Ly Jar mark Uniformity Looms in. Majors The new ball is here to stay, in) the opinion of John A. Heydler, the National league's president. He feels it has brought back playing features that appeal to the fans and resulted in better baseball, for the onlookers as well as the players. So far the American league has) |seen eye-to-eye with its associate only in raising the stitches of the baseball. The National league ball’s cover is thicker and therefore “dead- er” than the American league ball. By another season, the younger league may adopt both measures for fortifying “the defense and thereby put the sluggers of the two circuits on an even basis. As it stood this year, Ruth and Gehrig, the home run twins, had a running start on any of their Na- tional league rivals. ‘They were hitting a ball that re- sponded more enthusiastically to the bat’s massaging than the ball hit by Chuck Klein, Mel Ott, Hack Wilson and Chick Hafey. * Consequently, no particular pres- tige accrued to the American league for regaining the home run hdnors.

Rated as “under dogs” they tackle Northwestern's greatest rivals for the title Saturday with just the “all to win and nothing to lose” spirit; that delivers upsets in football.

Between the two contenders, Pur- due appeared to be in for the tough- est fight. The tussle between the Badgers and Boilermakers promised to result in an aerial display with the Boiler- makers doing most of the passing.
