The Bismarck independents have almost the same lineup that placed third in state competition last year, but as they have scheduled but few games this season, local fans are find- ing it hard to judge their chances in tourney play. The Prowlers won the city cage championship again this season. George L. Hays, manager, says the boys have been doing a lot of practic- ing this year. and will be in good shape for the competition. Members of the squad entered for play are John Spriggs, Armold Schneider, Emil Martin, George Hays, Jerry Griffen, Themar Simle, Myron Benser and S. Olson The Bismarck quint will open the session Tuesday in a game with Strasburg, which starts at 7 p. m. John J.

The Mandan hoopsters have consistently scored victories over North Dakota teams, and compose @ squad of outstanding performe: Registered for play are Don Arthur, captain, and Carl Thornberg, George Heidt, William Russell, Sam Patridge, I. Deitrich and M. Wurdeman. A. M. Femrite is manager. Dr. W. C. Heringer is in charge of the Napoleon cagers who include Jack Greitl, Ted Busch, Alvin Grosz, Al- bert Ost, Fred Onley, Jake Heisler and N. Thorson. Evening’s play will end with a con- test between Ft. Yates and Linton. These two teams took byes in the drawing last week by the state offi- cials, and one at least will place sec- ond in the finals Wednesday.

Yates-Linton play for third place. This contest will be followed by the game to decide the district champion, with the winner of the morning game matched with the winner of the Ft. Yates-Linton game.

MacReynolds, chairman of the Miami boxing commission, that the 265- pound champion intends to step on Loughran’s foot sometime Wednesday night with intent to cripple, maim or otherwise inconvenience the spright- ly challenger. Just what kind of a foul stepping on the other fellow's foot consists of. nobody really knows. Hitting below the belt is one foul, but no rule ever has been written into the book cover- ing territory as far south as the feet. The background of the protest is as follows: About a week ago George Manley was boxing with Carnera. Somehow Carnera trod with all his weight upon Manley's right foot and the sparring partner limped out of there. His foot is now in a pilaster cast, a bone broken. Sunda vere! y Carnera boxed with Buck and again he stepped down This time Everett limped and the doctors believe his foot, too, is broken. Loughran was at the moment prac- ticing upon Eddie Hogan, one of his young sparring partners, one of the cutest tricks he has picked up in 15 years of ring war. neatly upon Hogan's toes at every Roston.—(P—Bill ‘Tilden defeated | Cpportunity, to the complete baffle- ment of the youngster.

Critically ill for seven days with uremic poisoning and a cancer of the prostate gland, the fiery former leader of the New York Giants died in New Rochelle hospital Sunday at 11:50 a. m. while a group of friends prayed in the corridor outside. By his side, holding his hand, was Laud Baseball’s ‘Little Napoleon’ New York. Feb. 26—(4)—What John J. McGraw’s friends and as- sociates thought of him: “The outstanding manager of all time’--Connie Mack, manager Philadelphia Athletics. “None of us ever doubted that his main thought was to have us do the best we could."—Bill Terry, McGraw’s pupil and his successor as manager of the Giants, “A grand man, a true sports- man."—George M. Cohan. “He was the spirit of our na- tional game.”—Roger Bresnahan. “One of the outstanding char- acters of baseball and a wonderful man to know.”"—Gerry Nugent, president Philadelphia Phillies. “Everyone regrets his death but. none more than I.”-—Charles A. Stoneham, president New York Giants. “A great friend. Lord have mercy on him."—J. A. Robert Quinn, general manager Brooklyn Dodgers. ! | | | his wife. and Charles A. Stoneham, president of the Giants. Puneral services will be held Wed- nesday at 10 a. m. from St. Patrick's cathedral, the great, gray stone church on Fifth Avenue. Final plans for the services have not been com- pleted. The body will be taken to Baltimore immediately following the Services and placed in a vault of cath- edral cemetery for later interment. An intestinal hemorrhage Saturday night, which came when it appeared he was fighting his way back to health, was the immediate cause of death. He never regained conscious- ness although he rallied for a time a few hours before his death After @ life devoted to baseball— he played his first professional game on fis 17th birthday April 7, 1890, with Olean, N. Y., of the New York- Penn League—McGraw retiped June 2, 1932, as manager of the New York Giants because of failing health. McGRAW WAS MOST LICKED PLAYER IN NATIONAL SPORT Miami, Fla. Feb. 26.—(?}—Old- timers in baseball say of John Joseph McGraw that “he never dodged a fight and never won one.” From the days when he won a name for himself as one of the scrappiest. of the famous old Baltimore Orioles —‘Muggsy” McGraw—and on through the fiery years of his leadership of the New York Giants, he was the stormy petrel of the sport. In later times, especially when ill health first beset him, McGraw’s temper changed and softened but he never relaxed his aggressive tactics and he never had any patience with a ball-player who would not fight for everything he could get on the field. Some 20 years ago, when the Detroit Tigers were paired with the Giants in the spring, Ty Cobb was f to quit the trip because of a bitter run- in with the Giants. The Georgia peach spiked Buck Herzog, infielder of the Giants, was threatened with bodily harm by the rest of the club, end was given a public tongue-lashing in the hotel that night by McGraw. On at least two occasions in his em- battled career McGraw was knocked flat without being able to retaliate. Once, during a series with the Phil- lies, he was “riding” the opposition hard, especially Ad Brennan, a big pitcher. Between innings, Brennan walked over toward the Giants’ bench, jgaught McGraw a terrific blow from the side and cut the Giant leader's face. Another time. during spring train- ing play at Houston, Tex., McGraw got into a hot argument with a veteran first baseman, Pat Newman. They parted that day without coming to blows but the story goes that New- man nursed his grudge, waited for McGraw at the entrance to the field the next afternoon and caught the manager a terrific uppercut as he struck his head through the opening. McGraw took the long count. fer as the Philadelphia Athletics. are concerned. JOH!
