National Rivals Win Majority of Pre-Season Game Engagements With Teams in Major Loop New York, March 22.—(#)—The American League has piled up a win- j With the National League so far this spring training season, winning 13 games and losing only seven. These figures are hardly significant of the comparative strength of the two circuits, however. All 13 of the American League's victories have been chalked up by the New York favored in most quarters to finish one-two in the junior circuit. The big losers among National League clubs, on the other hand, have been jthe St. Louis Cardinals and the Bos- ton Braves. The Cardinals, as world champions, can be ranked with either the Yan- kees or the Athletics but the Braves jare picked to finish deep in the Na- jtional League's second division. Six of the National League’s de- feats have been charged to the Braves. The: only clubs with perfect records in the inter-league series are the New York Giants and the Phillies, both of \the National League. They each have jaccounted for two straight wins.

Defending champion, Fargo: main- tains a high rating among the eight contenders for the crown, but her ad- versaries are strong combinations and bring to the state basketball arena credentials which bid fair to make the title event a hard and close race. In the upper bracket Wednesday afternoon, Jamestown and Minot are jPaired in one contest with Fargo and Reeder scheduled to clash in another. Devils Lake engages Grafton and Mandan takes on Williston in first round games Wednesday evening. Semi-finals Thursday the victorious team of the upper bracket in the finals. Semi-final play will be conducted Thursday with the consolation tilt scheduled as the cur- tain raiser on Thursday evening's program which features the finalists in the grand “finale.” Mandan enters the tourney with considerable prestige as the result of a victory over Bismarck in regional play. The Braves pulled somewhat of an upset by coming back from two previous defeats at the hands of Bis- marck to score a clean-cut decfsion over the Demons for ‘the regional championship. Jamestown also comes to the state meet through an outstanding victory. The Blue Jays met and defeated Val- ley City’s Hi-Liners at Valley City Saturday night for the regional championship. It was an extra period contest, the Blue Jays coming from behind to tie the score and win in the extra period. Fargo Is Victor Fargo eked out a 15 to 14 victory over Wahpeton in a bitter struggle at Fargo Saturday night to qualify for the state meet. Devils Lake and Grafton won the right to enter the state tournament through their victories in regional games at Grand Forks Friday. Devils Lake defeated the Walsh County Ag- gies by a decisive 27 to 8 score while Grafton trailed most of three quar- ters to tie the count at 17-17 and then forged ahead in the last minute of play, beating Grand Forks 19 to 17. Bacon, a pivot man with considerable shooting ability, led Reeder into a 24 to 15 triumph over Dickinson Model high for regional honors. Minot, as usual, entered the tourney by turning back Cando.

A crowd of 9,000 fans braved the worst snow storm of the sea- son to see Dempsey floor young Joe Doctor of Buffalo three times in a four-round exhibition no- decision bout here last night. After battering Doctor about the head and, body in the first round, Dempsey floored the youngster with a left hook early in the second round, Before the round ended Doctor went to the canvas twice more, each time for counts of nine. Dempsey dealt out heavy pun- ishment through the last two rounds but Doctor stood up un- der the fire gamely and declined to go down again, o— Bars Stimulants |.

He may place as relief man. Los Angeles—Phil Page, recruit On that floor the state’s premier|pitcher and former Penn State ath- letic star, is the first member of the Detroit Tiger training squad to feel the pruning hook. Bradenton—“Tex” Carleton, Cardinals recruit who played last year with Houston in the Texas League, appears to be making the gtade for a regular berth with the world’s champions. He has pitched a total of 16 innings against major league teams without ‘having a single run chalked up against him. St. Petersburg—Frank Crosetti, Pa- cific coast star, came to the New York Yankees with a reputation as a “chop” hitter but he has been taking ja full cut at the ball in the training season. He clouted a home run Mon- day to maintain his record for at least one extra-base hit in every ex- hibition game he's played with the Yankees.

Illusions Die Hard Many of my fellow experts will re- call with what fanatical persistence they clung to the belief in the old Dempsey even when it should have been quite palpable he was on the skids, prior to the fight in which he lost the title to Gene Tunney in 1926, The old dynamite was still there or so they believed. Jack was a 3 to 1 fav- orite over Gene on the night he took such a bad beating at Philadelphia. A year later Dempsey came out of the ring at Chicago a moral victor over Tunney and more popular than ever, The famous seventh round melted all the old antagonism against Dempsey. He took his beating man- fully and without squawking. He was @ great guy, they told each other. And | he still is. For that reason we hate to see the old mauler take a pasting from a fish Peddler, of all things, and in Chicago, of all places. But, on the other hand, before you go out and have a good cry, don't overlook the fact that the old man hauled off about $25,000 for about 15 minutes in the ring. You can take a lot of cuffing these days for that kind of money. ¥ Olympic Coaching Needless “The Olympic teams need a general manager more than they need a coach,” Lawson Robertson, the Olym- pic head track and field coach, re- gress could so legally.” OO | SPORT SLANTS * ALAN GOULD When a Levinsky outpoints a Demp- sey, even in four rounds with ten- Perhaps, as many believe, it defi- nitely points to the last exit for the once devastating called Old Guerd or ‘“‘die-hards” dis- like to think so, at any rate.

With signing, he became Cincin- nati’s ace, the keystone of the base ball arch the Reds hope to crown with a pennant. For the first time since training began, the Reds roster is complete. Herman reached camp Monday, while the Reds were crossing bats with the Philadelphia Athletics, los« ing 7 to 4 despite four hits, homer, cracked from Lefty Grove. President Sidney Weil hurried back from Fort Meyers to meet him, and they went into a three-hour confer- ence that ended in early morning smiles, Rumors that Herman had been ob-= tained only for a possible swap with the Chicago Cubs now are discarded.
