Even with allow- ance for a little of both, there is one good, shbstantial black haired reason for being convinced the Tigers are already fully 25 per cent improved over 1933, when they finished only a team in the meet, Fargo will not be/few points out of the first division. over-confident when they are pitted against the Valley City Hi-Liners Friday night in a game starting at 8 o'clock.

Bismarck Meets Minot ‘The contest holding most interest for local fans will be the last that matches Bismarck Demons and Minot. ‘The Magicians administered a sound thumping to Coach Roy D. McLeod's five in a 27-12 game at Minot last ‘week, The Demons hope to revenge the whipping. The team represent- ‘tng Bismarck at the meet showed the effects, when they played Minot, of the strenuous game against St. Mary's here but two days previous. ‘The Demons displayed the improve- ment they have made this season The reason is Gordon Stanley (Mick- ey) Cochrane, successor to Bucky Harris as manager and the favorite backstop of this baseball generation. Cochrane bolsters Detroit's weak- est spot for the past few years, be- hind the bat. He expects to play in ‘at least 125 games. With a lifetime batting mark of .321 in the majors, Mickey will also contribute a much- needed punch to the lineup. Cochrane traded young and high- ly regarded outfielder, Jonathan Stone, to Washington for the veteran Goose Goslin. a fading veteran, with one big thought in mind—to get more clean up punch and a player accus- tomed to the championship life. Cockrane’s choices for third now are Marvin Owen, and Herman Clifton, a flashy recruit from the Beaumont (Tex.) farm of the Tigers. In prac- tice Bill Rigell, the regular shortstop, has been shifted to third, with Frankie Parker, a spectacular fielder, also up from Beaumont, at short. ‘The rest of the club is pretty well set. Big Hank Greenberg has clinch- ed the first base assignment. There are no better second basemen nor More dangerous hitters than Charley Gehringer. The outfield regulars will consist of Goose Goslin in left; Ervin Fox, a sophomore, in center and Ger- ald Walker, the league’s leading base stealer, in right. League Pennant Bee Buzzing Around YANIGANS BEAT REGULARS | Paso, Robles, Cal.—Smoke gets in {the eyes of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ {regulars today—from the cigars being puffed upon by the Yanigans. The rookies beat the regulars, 2 to 1 Thursday, in a five-inning game, thereby winning a box of cigars of- fered by the management for their first victory. THREE TRY FOR THIRD ‘West Palm Beach, Fla.—Manager Roger Hornsby of the St. Louis Browns, who has been giving careful attention to two third base candi- |dates, Harland Clift and Art Scharein, decided Friday to give still another player close scrutiny béfore deciding who's who at the position. “I'm down here to find out about all the players on the squad and I'm one of ’em,” he said. PITCHES AGAINST GIANTS Bradenton, Fla.—Jim Winford, one of the three Columbus pitching re- cruits with the St. Louis: Cardinals, will have his first chance to see what he can do against major league op-} position when the Red Birds meet the | New York Giants at Miami Beach Saturday. Tex Carleton and South- paw Jim Mooney, who are familiar with the ways of the big leaguers, will share the pitching task with Win- ford. MAY BEAT WILSON Orlando, Fla.—Hack Wilson had better get to the Brooklyn Dodgers’ training camp soon or he won't have & job. Len Koenecke cost the New York Giants $75,000 three years ago and then failed to stick in the big time, is playing so well that Manager Casey Stengel thinks he'll be the Dod- gers’ regular centerfielder.

Ott, Moore and Davis are certain first- string gardeners and Hank Leiber, a right handed batter, apparently has won a reserve post. That leaves an opening for a left handed hitter and all Weintraub has to do to win it is to beat out Frank O’Doul, world series hero and former National League ,batting champion, MANUSH, KUBEL SIGN Biloxi, Miss—Clark C.

Leo Lockren, who counted 10, was high for Coleharbor. Others who saw action for the McLean county cagers were Zook, Elmo, Jensen, and Carlson. Mark Chatfield is the Coleharbor coach.

Ancil Hoffman, representing the challenger, put his signature to the contracts late Thursday night, Louis Soresi, Primo’s manager, will follow suit shortly, the Garden announced, Roughly the conditions of the agreement were understood to be: 1, Hoffman dropped his demand that Jack Dempsey be made co-pro- moter of the match. 2.. In return, the Garden agreed to give Baer more than the customary challenger's share of 12% per cent of the receipts, probably 20 per cent, Out of that, Baer will be able to “cut in” Dempsey himself. 3, Baer agreed to the Garden's de- mand that in the event he whips Carnera, he defend the title once un- der the Garden’s promotion. 4. The Garden, however, agreed that Baer will be allowed to select the date for a title defense and to have a hand in naming his opponent.
