E. Shipley, vet- eran sports enthusiast, canvassing the city for available material. Shipley has been conducting a sur- vey of baseball talent in Bismarck and has issued a call to men interested in trying out for the team to report|* for practice. Present indications point to wealth of capable performers this year, he said, and Bismarck should be represented by as strong a team! as any community in the western| part of the state. Decision to start a campaign, aimed at the organization of a local club, was reached after Shipley had inter- viewed baseball enthusiasts through- out the Missouri Slope. Fans in the surrounding territory have been look- | ing towards Bismarck as the pivotal| point around which baseball in the western part of the state should cen- ter, he said. Teams have been Jamestown, Dickinson, Mandan, Beulah, Beach, Garrison, Mott, Wash- burn, New England, Hettinger, and the state penitentiary, as well as in! | a organized at) | OUR BOARDIN A POLiticAL i MEETING “TONIGHT ! ~~ WHY —~ DRAT (To UMF - SPUTT SPU Now , LISTEN -To ME, Sous (~~ I'm SUPPER DISHES As?

Shipley said these teams are anxious to book games with Bismarck and no difficulty in filling a well-rounded schedule is anticipated.

Use of the ‘straight left arm is the only way a grooved swing can be attained. By keeping the left arm straight in \the backswing, the shoulders turn on ‘an axis practically down the center of the body. The left shoulder al- ways follows a definite path, as does the left hand at the end of the straight left arm. But suppose the right hand con- trolled the backswing. From the moment the club is started back, the right arm is bent and has little chance to travel along a definite path. It is working in space and, as the bend in the clbow is increased and diminished, there is nothing in he right arm or side to control the swing.

A suspension threat was made just before Dempsey’s exhibition bout | with King Levinsky at the Chicago stadium February 18, but it was not jpressed when Sacks and Dempsey appeared before the commission and! agreed to straighten out the difficul-| ty.

' American Boxers to Meet Invasion of Foreign Stars Fighters From Australia, Spain, France, and Mexico on Fistic Cards New York, April 18—(#)—Ameri- can boxers stand by this week to repel a major invasion by fisticuffing stars from Australia, Spain, France and Mexico. Australia’s middleweight hope, Jack Kilbourne, victor in four straight bouts in this country, must be at his best if he hopes to “take” Dave Shede, California veteran, in a ten- rounder at the White City arena, Chicago, Thursday night. Despite his many years in the ring, Shade is still more than a match for most present-day 160-pounders. Kilbourne's last victory was a one- round knockout of Haakon Hansen, Chicago Norwegian, last week. France's representative on the week's program, Emile (Spider) Plad- ner, will meet the Revere, Mass., ban- tamweight, George Ostrow, at Bos- ton tonight. Pladner’s first Ameri- can start resulted in a disputed drawn battle with the clever Hungar- jan featherweight, Antol Kocsis. Spain will be represented by John- ny Pena who tackles Milton Zuniza of Mexico in one of two 10-round matches in the National Boxing as- sociations’ featherweight elimination tournament at Detroit Friday night. The other bout pits Fidel LaBarba, Los Angeles, former flyweight cham- pion, against Petey Sarron of Bir- mingham, Ala. David Velasco, Mexican welter- weight, is matched against Young Corbett, of Fresno, Calif. in a 10- rounder at Sacramento Thursday. HONEST ABOUT IT Indianapolis.— Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts, recently gave a speech in which he remarked that he did not, drink, but that he favored repeal of dry laws. Fred G.

Speedy Moulden, negro flash, was the center of interest as he ‘went through his routine. The St. Louis fighter appeared to have plenty of zip and speed and fans were predict- ing that Al Watson—his opponent in the headline bout—would have a handfull in the dusky Missourian. ‘Watson has been working out at his Dawson headquarters and was slated to arrive in Bismarck Tuesday morn- ing. Ed Foster of Minot, who will take on Tuffy Mosset in the semi-windup, is in the best shape of his ring career. Backers of the Minot boy are willing to wager he will flatten Herr Mosset before the final bell. They base their contention on the fact that Foster had the Bismarcker in distress at the end of a four round engagement re- cently. With an extra two rounds to work in, they believe their man can send Mosset into the land of dreams. Tuffy, elated over his spot on the card, is reported to be in fine fettle and full of confidence. In a state- ment Saturday, he said he intended to show the fans of Bismarck that he was in line for a shot at a headline fight. Other bouts on the card include a battle between the Battling Bozo of Minot and Kid Kramer of Yorkton, Sask. and a fist fight between Kid Engles, Medina, and Floyd Jaynes, Jamestown. Three other engagements will see Kid Mitchell, Menoken, pitted agains: Kid Ketchell, Moffit; Ray Gramling, Regan, against Bennie Rice, Mandan; and Sonny Schlosser, Mandan, against Kid Brooker, Mandan. Apostles Pained by Six Straight Beatings in Row St. Paul Aggregation Loses Five Contests by One Run Margin Chicago, April 18—(7)—St. Paul Monday went into the second week of the American Association season pained by a record of six straight de- feats, and more irked by the fact that five of the beatings were by one run margins, The 1931 champions have played |some good baseball but so far, have not been able to stir up the tying and winning runs. After losing to Indian- apolis, 4 to 3, Saturday, the Saints joutbatted and outfielded the Indians yesterday, only to lose by 3 to 2. The victory put the Indians at the and one defeat. Louisville's Colonels, Milwaukee and Kansas City, all of which got through the first week un- defeated suffered their first setbacks Sunday, to leave the Indians at the head of the loop. Jess Petty, former major league southpaw by holding Louisville to five hits, was the chief factor in Minne- apolis’ 4 to 1 triumph. Toledo broke out with a 16-hit as- |sault on five Kansas City hurlers to jscore its first victory of the season and gives the Blues their first beating. 15 to 5. Columbus also scored its initial victory, and gave Milwaukee its first defeat. The count was 9 to 8, and the winning run was scored in the ninth inning.

BIGGER FEMININE FEET ‘Women have, on the average, larger feet than their mothers and grand- mothers. Size two and one-half, which was fairly common 30 years ago, is not stocked now, the average size be- ing fives. Fargo, Finnegan, cultural college athletic director and head football coach, is won- dering if the rules makers didn’t overlook something when they put in their stringent code last fall, following what they termed wholesale injuries and deaths which they attributed to the roughness of the grid game. At least,Rod McMillen of Bent- ley, N. D., for three years the most valuable Bison utility per- former, is injured and he didn’t ible injury on the football field. McMillen played good enough in his sophomore year to earn a letter as a guard. In his junior year he was moved out to tackle and named on the mythical team selected by the coaches of the North Central conference. Last fall he was a mainstay at end, but when there was a short- age of tackles, McMillen moved in one position nearer the center of the line. Through three seasons of var- sity play McMillen never was handicapped by an injury serious enough to keep him out of the game. Not only that, but McMillen never was injured as a freshman in three branches of sport, He also won honors as a boxer and track athlete, his track specialty being the quarter mile run. He is the school’s light heavyweight boxing champion. During this full schedule of athletic activities McMillen never has been injured. But Friday he was walking from a@ class. Just outside the door he turned his ankle. It hurt. He showed it to Finnegan. Fin- negan said it looked bad. He asked for an explanation and got it. McMillen consulted a bone specialist and heard the worst. The ankle was broken. Now MeMillen is on crutches, injured for the first time in his career, after seven years of football. See enaeegene ee | SPORT SLANTS | > Pere oe By ALAN GOULD There was no trick to picking the Athletics and Cardinals to win the 1931 pennant races, We did and they did, with such thoroughness and dispatch, that we nominate the two championship clubs here and now to stick to the peaks. The strangest feature of the situa- tion, from this observer's viewpoint, is that the Cardinals among betting men are considered a better gamble to repeat than the Athletics. As we saw them perform in Florida, each minus a few vital cogs, the A's looked the stronger outfit by several kilometers, The Athletics still can depend on ‘Earnshaw, Grove and Walberg where- as the Cardinals must make two or three untried youngsters carry the load left by the departure of Bur- leigh Grimes. ‘There is a tendency to over-rate the chances of the Yankees in the Ameri- can league and under-estimate the Strength of the Giants and Cubs in the National league. If the law of averages is due to con- tinue, the operations against the Ath- letics, begun in the last world series, it also may be obliged to perform at the expense of the Cardinals, who have slaughtered such clubs as Cin- cinnati in piling up winning margins the last two years. Anything can happen in baseball but the burden of proof this season will be on the Yankees and six other Qmnerican league clubs—not the Ath- letics. The Pick Here's the way we expect them to ‘wind up next September, whether it means anything or not: American league—Athletics, Yan- kees, Washington, Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and Detroit. National league—Cardinals, Giants, Cubs, Brooklyn, Phillies, Reds, Braves and Pirates. Reds Better Hand The Cincinnati club made up mostly of ex-Brooklyn and ex-St. Louis tal- lent, may turn out to be the most im- proved outfit in either circuit.. Dan Howley and Sidney Well did not get the ors of the big deal with ‘Brooklyn. The Reds have a pretty fair infield, minus Cuccinello and Stripp, and they get the benefit of some real punch with Herman and Lombardi in the lineup. ‘Wilbert Robinson made Lombardi, the big lumbering catcher, more or less famous as “Lumbago” but the Pacific Coast league product is a real slugger and possesses a rifle-shot arm. ‘The Braves, too, after a poor start, Ihave looked more like the outfit that Judge Emil Fuchs and Manager Bill McKechnie thought they had built up at substantial cost. Likewise the Phillies appear much stronger, thereby giving the second division of the 1931 National league race @ much more menacing aspect for the pennant hopefuls this spring.
