The game is slated to get under} way at 9 p. m. (Bismarck time) and} will be played on the courts of the! state training schoo] gymnasium. | Although the Bismarck contingent | has won two previous contests, the game is regarded as a toss-up. The| Braves, always tartars against the Demon: e been pointing for the regional affair as a means of getting back into state championship play after an absence of several years. Both teams are in fine fettle and| are expected to go into action intact. | Schlickenmeyer, suffering from a} sore knee, is the only casualty in| either camp. He was kept out of| play in the recent district tourna- ment, however, and should be in shape to do battle with the War-| * riors. i Both Coach George Hays of Bis- marck and Leonard McMahan of! Mandan Tuesday were mulling over | possible starting lineups. Neither | was prepared to announce just what | men would get starting berths. It) was expected, however, that both} would attempt to present his strong-} est combination at the opening gun. | Coach Hays indicated that morale | of his team was excellent. Any dan- | ger of overconfidence was removed by the close game with Max in the| district tournament, he said. | Large crowds of partisans from, both sides of the river are expected to witness the contest There will be no preliminary game. Dodgers Regarded| As Contender For Major Loop Title’ Brooklyn Closes Gaps in Lineup | Through Trade With Cincinnati New York, March 15.—?)—Over- night the Brooklyn Dodgers seem to} have built themselves into formidable contenders for the National League championship. | Their big trade with the Cincinnati | Reds enabled the Dodgers to plug! two gaping holes in the infield with- | out sacrifice of batting power even! though they did part with Cavendish (Babe) Herman, the temperamental | outfielder, one of the best natural hitters in the game. The Robins threw in Wally Gilbert | them and Ernesto Lombardi with Herman | Orioles. and received from the Reds Tony | Cuccinelio, Joc Stripp and Clyde! Sukeforth Boiled down, the trade amounted | to an exchange of Cuccinello for Her- | man. Stripp and Gilbert are third! basemen; Sukeforth and Lombardi | catchers. So it becomes a trade of a! second baseman, Cuccinello, for an | outfielder, Herman. On the surface that would appear to be a fairly even trade, er fell off to last. season and Cuc- cinello hit .315, but an analysis would | indicate Brooklyn will be helped much | more than Cincinnati. | Manager Max Carey now can put on an infield that will have Del Bis- | sonette at first, Cuccinello at second, Glenn Wright at shortstop, and Stripp | at third. That quartet. granting that | Wright's ankle stands up, seems to| compare with any in the league. colorful Herman from the outfield sufficient evidence in Monday's bat- ler of the St. Louis Browns, says he jis determined that if Ralph Kress, jright field holdout, doesn’t play ball , with the Browns this season he won't} jcamp of the Cincinnati Reds Tues- The Dodgers perhaps will miss the day buzzed with confidence as Man- New Orleans—Joe Vosmik, perhaps} the most outstanding rookie in the! American League last year, gave ting practice of the Cleveland In-| dians that his batting power has not been dimmed. San Francisco—Belated deci- sions are in prospect in the bat- tles being waged for positions on the Detroit Tiger baseball team. With the training season . well along, Manager Bucky Harris has pronounced himself still open- minded on the question of which recruits to retain. West Palm Beach—Phil Ball, own- play with any other team. Los Angeles—The New York Giants, always hard to please, | are starting to grumble about | the weather. The hard-working athletes are praying for a little snow or rain so they can take a holiday. Biloxi—Tuesday was a big day for| the Washington Senators, with the first ball game of the season lining up against the Baltimore Los Angeles—On the basis of | information gleaned during the series with the New York Giants, Manager Rogers Hornsby of the | Cubs is expected to trum the club roster during the next three days. St. Petersburg—The Braves are still being trailed by the weak hitting x but Manager Bill McKechnie says it can't last much longer. Savannah—It’s been 15 years— back in the days of Jack Barry and Dove Shen—since the Red Sox’s prospects for a high-grade second baseman have been so bright. It looks like a long bat- tle between second-sackers, Ol- son and Dashiel with honors about even right now. Los Angeles—The big trade be- tween the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn, has revived hope that Floyd (Babe) Herman may yet be- come a member of the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs need another outfielder who can hit, and Manager Rogers Hornsby and President William L. Veeck were reported to have confer- red on approaching the Cincinnati club, which now holds title to Her- man. | San Antonio—As the Chicago White Sox training season wears on, Douglas Bruce Campbell, a Chicago boy, appears more and more certain of landing a regu- ular outfield job. All hands ex- cept Ted Lyons, Red Faber and Vic Frasier, will be ready for the first exhibition game Thursday night against the University of Texas.

Now we oe pa SPORT SLANTS By ALAN GOULD —? Following the unquestionably bril- liant, in fact, astounding, perform- ances of a number of Uncle Sam’s better Olympic prospects on the east- ern boards, it is not surprising to find the more hysterical branches of the sporting press headlining as follows: “Venzke Cinch To Cop Olympic Mile.” Of course there isn't any Olympic mile, so far as the technical side of the matter is concerned, the Olympic equivalent being 1500 meters, or about 110 yards short of a mile. Moreover, whirlwind though he has proved himself at the distance, Venzke will be anything but a “cinch” to re- gain middle distance honors for the United States, for several reasons. Every American track and field “bug” will be rooting for Gene to pick up the U. 8. A. where “Peerless Mel” Sheppard left off as far back as 1908 at London, but the youthful ace of all American milers will be up against the fastest field probably ever brought together for the Olympic “1500.” Race Jinx to America Assuming Venzke escapes a slump and has no difficulties in negotiating the American tryouts he will face the task of beating France's cocky little world record-breaker, Jules Ladou- megue, as well as at least two stars of @ new generation of flying Finns. Lauri Lehtinen, one of these Finns, has been as big a sensation in Hel- singfors within the past year as Venzke has become in New York. Vir- taneau may be equally good and Harry | Larva, the 1500 meter winner in 1928 jover Ladoumegue, will defend the title. Every great American miler in the past 20 years has found the Olympic 1500 the toughest kind of a hurdle, To make that clear it is only neces- sary to recall the sad events of 1912 at Stockholm. The U. 8. A. that year had the greatest four milers it ever entered in this event—John Paul Jones, Norman Taber, Abel Kiviat and Sheppard, the 1908 winner. They were the class of the universe, supposedly, at the distance. Jones and Taber set world records for the mile while still collegians. But a long, lanky Englishman named Arnold Strode-Jackson galloped down the Olympic stretch to beat all the Amer- icans, Kiviat was second and Taber third. They were too busy watching each other to pay any attention to Jackson until it was too late. Since then American over-confi- dence has been so rudely jolted that THORNBERG LEADS SCORERS Ghostmen Get Going in Last Two Periods to Snow Un- der Opposition Aftef trailing in the second quar- ter, the Bismarck Phantoms came back strong in the last two periods to set aside Arnegard as a champion- ship contender and to annex the re- gional title in North Dakota Inde- Pendent basketball play. The Ghost- men won 30 to 12. Battling along on more or less even terms during most of the first half, the Demons got going in the second half to pick up 18 points while hold- ing the opposition to five. A powerful defense prevented Arne- gard from getting in close enough to shoot in the second half. The Phan- toms controlled the ball most of the time and were unable to connect with regularity after their offense got working. Arnegard presented an active, hard- working aggregation but man to man they were not up to the standard of. the Ghostmen. The work of Geston and Heidt was outstanding for the locals, Both played stellar defensive games while Heidt figured prominently in the at- tack. To Thornberg went scoring honors of the evening. He popped in two field goals in the first half and three in the second in addition to connecting once from the charity line to bring his total to 11 points, Johnny Spriggs, who replaced his brother Eddie at forward, played an effective game. The work of Stenebjem at forward for Arnegard was the bright spot in the Arnegard offensive. By their victory the Phantoms earned the right to compete for the North Dakota independent champion- ship at Minot March 18 and 19. In the preliminaries, the A. O. U. W. quint won from Co. A, 15 to 13, in a} torrid contest that went into three) overtime periods, In the curtain raiser, the Klein Cleaners won from Ft. Lincoln, 22 to 10. The summaries: Phantoms (30) Thornberg, f . E.

It was just a question of where they would go and what could be obtained, for them. Howley has been working an in- field consisting of Mickey Heath at first, George Grantham, the former Pirate, at second, Peppe: It has looked However, the hard working, young fellow in Lom- bardi.” The pitching staff looks doubtful but Howley insists he isn’t worried about it. Discussing this, he says: “Red Lucas and Si Johnson will be better than ever. Owen Carroll looks right to me for the first time in years. Frey, Benton and Rixey ought to go well. If a boy like Walter Hil- cher can come through the way he promises to do, the pitching will be all sét.” Sixth place perhaps is the best the Reds can hope for but their spirit, as well as prospects, appear sub- stantially improved. PREDICT RECORD Detroit, March 15.—(?)—American Bowling Congress officials are pre- dicting the general scoring in the thirty-second annual tournament of the National Tenpin classic in session in the Coliseum here will be the high- Nurmi Still Rules Venzke, a handsome, cool youth of 23, is well equipped to take care of himself and go on to make further mile-racing history. He looks to have every qualifica- tion for doing the classic distance in 4:06, a mark that the celebrated Nurmi considered easily within reach when he was at his prime. Venzke, however, is not yet another Nurmi. The Finn never specialized in the mile, although I believe he could do the distance faster than Venzke or any living.man. His achievements, as yet unfinished, have no parallel when you figure that Paavo still holds world outdoor records from one to ten miles, that he is the only runner ever to beat 9 minutes for two miles (1925 and 1931) and that he probably will wind up his career by being a victor in four successive Olympiads. They will still be trying to tie that when you and est in the annals of the oganization.
