One of the largest crowds of the season is expected to watch the Saints-Braves game at the World War Memorial building. The game will be- gin at 8:30 o'clock (Bismarck time), the later starting time being decided | upon to give Mandan fans more time to get here for the contest. The Saints hope for a victory over Coach Leonard C. McMahan’s Man- dan quint, but have a high respect for the Braves.

In the proposed rankings, Francis C. Shields was named first, followed in order by William Allison, Lester toefen, Cliff Sutter, Gregory Man- gin, Sidney Wood, Byron, Grant, Frankie Parker, Keith Gle@hill and Lott.

This leaves October 14, third Saturday of the playing season, as Minnesota’s open date. It will be the third time Minnesota has played North Dakota State.

Foster Suggests Put- ting Foot Down on Junior Championships By EDWARD C. FOSTER (President, National Boxing Associ- ation) Providence, R. I. Jan. 4—(P)-I tnink that during 1934, boxing of all kinds will receive a tremendous im- petus. All that is really needed is the elose cooperation, and honest, fair dealings by the promoters and boxers. The boxer, on his part, must realize ‘hat the promoter cannot pay exces- sive prices for services and be able to ist. This realization by the boxer, With honest endeavor to deliver his best efforts, will result in boxing being dlaced again on the high level which many, former amateur champion and |1t has enjoyed in past years. Both boxers and their managers ‘ave been brought face to face with the fact that in order to prosper they \nust deliver the goods. I believe this has finally made an impression on the ; boxers. Boxing commissions all over the country should at once put their foot jdown firmly on managers and pro- “noters who endeaver to stage “junior championship” contests. These “jun- “or championships” have no standing whatever in professional boxing.
