THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, .TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1934 DONOVAN CASTS DECIDING BALLOT | FOR CHALLENGER: Majority of Ring Experts and] Crowd of 26,000 Favored Game Chicagoan LEFT EYES CLOSED EARLY‘ Warriors Wage Bitter Punching Battle; Mete Out Terrific Punishment New York, Sept. 18.—()—The fan- tastic feud of Jimmy McLarnin and Barney Ross, two of the finest fight- ers this generation will see, is closed for the season, and the two young warriors Tuesday stand exactly where they started three months ago with the exception that neither can see out of his left eye. McLarnin has his welterweight title back and Barney is still king of the lightweights without a serious chal- lenger in sight in his own class. ‘There the matter must rest until an- other summer rolls around, when most certainly they must have it out for the third and deciding time. McLarnin regained his champion- ship in Madison Square Garden's big bowl on Long Island Monday night exactly as he lost it in May—on a split decision. There was far more question this time though as the game little fellow from Chicago wan- dered off heart-broken into a black and sullen night; the first champion who ever held both titles, even for 80 short a time; the latest victim of the first defense jinx that has dog- ged all welterweight champions since Joe Dundee. And the fifth straight titleholder to lose his crown in the Ting of the garden's bowl. Crowd Favors Ross The crowd of about 26,000 that braved a threatening night after 11 straight days of rain had forced four Ppostponements, didn’t think he had lost. Neither did a majority of the experts around the ringside, 10 of whom thought Barney had earned the decision after 15 savage rounds while only three sided with the opinion of Referee Arthur Donovan, who gave the title back to McLarnin after two judges had disagreed. They fought entirely differently Monday night and the result was a bitter punching battle that seethed through the arena round after round, with first one, then the other, buck- ling under right hand smashes that caved their knees but never fully) floored either. McLarnin, dead tired | at the end, came closest to hitting the floor as he skidded twice under Bar- ney’s attack in the last round. Each time, though, he was more weary than They dealt each other terrific pun- \shment, belting with an abandon that belied their reputations as two of the best scientists of the ring world. As early as the third round, their faces started taking on an entirely new ap- pearance, and by the 15th you had to be an intimate to recognize either. Left Eyes Closed Barney's left eye started to close under McLarnin’s right hand smash- es as early as the third. In the eighth, McLarnin's right eyebrow was gashed and his own left eye started to blow up. By the halfway mark, Ross’ lips were smashed. By the 12th, McLarnin’s left eye was sealed tight, and his nose and lips had started bleeding in the 11th. Then to even matters, Barney's right eye was cut in the 13th. They could scarcely have tried harder. ‘The Associated Press scorecard gave Ross a narrow margin, while Donovan's vote for McLarnin was the highest of the night, 10 for the Irish- man and five for Ross. The boys, ver, shared in net receipts esti- mated at $125,000 at the rate of 40 pe cent for Ross, 25 per cent for Mc- m YOURE TELLING ME A high goal polo player rides be- tween 11 and 12 miles during an eight-chukker match . . . so the Btatistics hounds figure.

T. Columbia Lions Weak, Says Little, Coach New York, Sept. 18.—(#)—Leave the Columbia Lions out of it and Lou Lit- tle, their head coach, can find nothing wrong with the 1934 football picture. Most of the leading elevens look stronger than they did last year, he says, The new rules will, among other things, improve the running attack. It looks like the best season since the depression from a box office standpoint and one of the greatest ever in sectional and intersectional rivalry and interest. Columbia? Well, it will stagger along with a team badly shot by graduation, injuries and plain old fashion A. W. O. L's, The Lions will stick to the same style of play they used last year in winning all but one of their regularly scheduled games and then defeating Stanford in the Rose Bowl.

(®) —Sopho- mores, who may or may not, be in there when the actual battling starts, are getting a big play in big ten football drills. Even at Minnesota, where Coach Bernie Bierman has an almost veter- an team, three rookies, Art Clarkson, Whitman Rork and Sam Hunt, were given a lot of attention in a punting Grill. All looked good, generally, get- ting more distance than the veterans. In the latter group were Pug Lund, all-American halfback, George Ren- nix and George Roscoe. Coach Ossie Solem of Iowa, had three first year men in his first string lineup as the Hawkeyes put in two long drills, which included an hour of scrimmage. The sophomores were Ted Osmaloski, center; Corney Walk- er, end, and Ossie Simmons, half- back. Bob Swisher, a shifty 158-pound sophomore from Peoria, Ill., impress- ed Dick Hanley at Northwestern, and Kansas City Left-Hander Makes Major League Debut Shut- ing Out Browns (By the Associated Press) They can nail the American League flag on Navin Field's flagpole right now and be all but certain it will stay there until next fall. Micky Cochrane's Detroit Tigers, scenting a league championship for the first time in a quarter-century, pinned back the New York Yankees’ ears, 3-0 Tuesday in the first game of what once looked like a crucial series, and stretched thelr lead to six and a! half games. Joe McCarthy sent out his left- handed ace, Vernon Gomez, in an eftort to keep the Yankees in the race but the southpaw was outpitched | a’ the way by Alvin Crowder, Wash-! ington cast-off, and suffered his fifth defeat where he had been looki for his 26th victory. Crowder held’ the! field scratches and another a pop-! fly, ground-rule double. and fanned! Sammy Byrd with two on and two out in the sixth to get ou: of the only, may be the answer to the Wildcat ball- carrying back problem. Wisconsin had no fewer than five sophomores in the varsity front, and Clifford Baumbach, still another new- comer, held down one end for Pur- due’s first team in a lively forward Passing drill. Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa, In- diana and Purdue already have had scrimmage drills. Chicago, short of man-power, prob- ably will not scrimmage frequently. Although equipped with a fine kick- er, John Regeczi, Coach Harry Kipke of Michigan, is drilling Russ Oliver as understudy in the booting depart- ment. Cavalier Has Tough Record to Maintain Cavalier, N. D., Sept. 18.—(#)—Cav- alier high school opens the football schedule with a 1933 record that will require lots of zip to maintain. Last year's team was undefeated and amassed a total of 327 points against 28 by opponents. In the past three years, Cavalier has lost only two games and tied three while win- ning 15, said Pete Holand, coach. Five members of the 1933 aggrega: tion who graduated are Walter Keefe and Ralph Campbell, tackles; Milt Ault, end; Harry Boeker and Clinton Restemayer, guards, This year’s eleven has for its back- field Robert Freshette at quarter- back, Louis Hebert at fullback and Mayo Bourgeouis and Willard Lesher, halfbacks. Along the line are Leo |Bell at the pivot post, Bud Thor- 4|waldson and ‘Marvin Hjalmarson, guards, Robert Schafer and Laurence Samson, tackles, with Robert Adams and Leo D'Heilly at the ends. Cavalier opens a series of four home games against Park River Sep- tember 29, followed by engagements with Grand Forks, October 6, Lakota, October 12, and Langdon, October 19. A return game will be played at Lang- don October 25. Rockford Grid Team _ | Wels 2nd Grube. Short of Lettermen New Rockford, N. D., Sept. 18—Icleveland (®)—Despite losing every letterman from the New Rockford high school football team which won the confer- ence championship last year, Roy Trueblood, athletic director, says promising material “will give us a fair team.” There are 22 candidates who come under the classification of experienced or having good prospects. They are ‘Skjonsby, Fahrer, Jahnke, Thueson, McQuillan, Casey, Buchli, Roaldson, Jeske, M. Trueson, Wilson, Widner, Sodrholm, Stuver, Coulter, A. McDowell, H. McDowell, Anderson, Haas, Cudworth, and Ziegler. New Rockford’s next game will be against Fort Totten here Thursday. ‘The remainder of the schedule: Sept. 28, Fort Totten Indians there; Oct. 6, Harvey there; Oct. 13, open date; Oct. 19, Leeds there, and Oct. 26,.Carring- ton here.

The southpaw had whipped them four times previously. Otherwise the American - League/ Program for the day was marked by the sensational major league debut of George Hockette, a left-hander ob- tained by the Boston Redsox from! Kansas City. Hockette held the 8t.! Louis Browns to two singles while Boston nicked Irvine Hadley for eight hits and all their runs in the first six innings, winning 1 to 0. Another rookie, Reese Diggs, Balti- more sandlotter, pitched the Wash- ington Senators to a 13-6 victory over the Cleveland Indians as Pete Susko, recruit first-sacker for the Senators pounded out five hits including a triple and a dobule. Diggs allowed or.ly eight hits but home runs by Earl Averell and Bob Weiland swelled Cleveland’s run total. Eric McNair hit two home runs, each coming with two on, to lead the Philadelphia Ath- letics to a 9-4 triumph over the Chi- cago Whitesox. The entire national league program was rained out.

Sping Surprises in Pa- cific Coast Race open, there is no possible way to fore- five elevens may find itself in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, and it |i doubtful whether any one team can go through undefeated. Stanford was the leading team in the far west last season, and followers of the Indlians feel. that this is their year again. They base their judgment on the fact that if the sophomore team of 1933 drove to's triple tie for Yankees to six hits, three of them in-|the championship, the junior team of: this year should be able to perform miracles. i The Big Red team has a good line, both on offense and defense, with Bobby Grayson, one of the coast’s outstanding players, as its backfield ace. Grayson once more will direct the Cardinals’ play from the fullback position. California has the best material since the days of its wonder teams. Bill Ingram believes he has a winner this year, with men like Lutz, tackle; the Brittingham brothers at the end: and Williams and Blower in the back- field. California looks like the team to beat. Warburton Back at Southern Cal. Southern California, even though losing such men as Youel, center; Pal- mer, end; and two great guards in Stevens and Rosenberg, may turn out to be tough. Warburton is present, and Clemens will be at right half, clearing the way for the Cotton Top. Howard Jones has good heavy line material to work on, and by the mid- dle of the season the Trojans should be rolling up points. They are counting on Jimmy Phe- aln to come through at Washington as they have for four years. Wash- ington has played some fine football in spots—as good as could be expected when the competition is considered. The Huskies may be a hard team to beat this year on account of such men ‘as Sulkosky and Muczynska, two of the best backs on the coast. Bufkin, who went to Army a year ago, will be back at left half. It is questionable whether Phelan can replace Bili Smith, a great end, and develop a tine equal to iast year's. - Oregon looms strong again despite the fact that Mikulak, Temple and Gee, backs, and Cuppoletti and Kughes, linemen, were lost. It is doubtful if Mikulak can be replaced, but Oregon is on the upgrade, for two ‘stellar backs remain from last year in Parke, who phobably will be moved from quarter to left half, and Van Vliet, a fast, open field runner. Parke won the javelin throw in most. of the spring events on the coast, and it's but a step across the field from that Roman instrument to the pig- skin, He should be a fine passer while his kicking was a factor in Oregon’s success last fall. Watch Oregon State Oregon State is the team that tied the Trojans last year, and is expected to be even stronger this fall. Last year wes Coach Lon Steiner's first with the Beavers, and his system Probably will be working more smooth! iy. U. C. L. A. is looking for a good season. The loss of Muller, Yearick, Coats and Keeble, will be difficult to overcome. However, Ted Key looks as though he may be able to fill Jolting Joe's shoes, and such backs as Funk, with Captain Livesay and Cheshire, should give us the strongest backfield in the Bruins’ history, Washington State, as usual, looks strong, and it may be the best team in the Pacific northwest. Babe Hol- linghery usualiy has a heavy line and ® number of good backs. His team will be very well balanced, with a smart quarterback, Boyce (Tex) Mag- ness. Idaho and Montana have less ma- terial than the other schools but from Diggs and Phillips; Hildebrand, Weiland, Bean and Brenzel, Garbark. All postponed, weather.

Croonquist advanced to the final round by downing Burl Knutson after Nadine O'Leary had defaulted in the scheduled first round match. Moses gained the final round by eliminating Dr. R. W. Henderson after Paul Cook, defending champion, had defaulted in the first round. The youthful shotmaker's victory came as a brilliant climax to a sea- son’s play in which he won the Mis- souri Slope title and scored a sur- prising upset in the North Dakota amateur golfing tournament by elim- inating Bill Kostelecky, Jr., Dickinson youth and medalist of the state event. Jack Zuger won first flight honors in the Country Club tourney when he turned in the low card in a three- way medal playoff with John Moses and Halley Reuben.

Meeting in annual conclave, the N. B.

These rulings apply only to N. B. A. territory and not to states, such as New York, Pennsylvania and Califor- nia, which are not affiliated with the N.
