Jamestown, Valley City, Minot and Devils Lake Listed for Franchises FANS’ OPINION IS SOUGHT, Sharp Division of Opinion Shown in Preliminary Meet- ing Held Here Proposal that Bismarck enter a class D baseball league next year is ‘under consideration by officials of the Bismarck baseball club, it was dis-j closed Saturday, and indications are} that local fans will cast the deciding vote on the subject. Tentative plans for the as yet un- named league would list Bismarck, Jamestown, Valley City, Minot and Devils Lake, North Dakota, and Aber- deen, S. D., as the towns holding franchises. If other towns wanted to come in and the proposal looked feasible the league might be expanded to eight teams. Sharp division of opinion on the advisibility of Bismarck’s entry into the league was evidenced at a recent meeting between backers of the local} club and Al Hyatt of Minneapolis, a/ representative of an athletic goods) firm who is assisting in preliminary organization work. Arguments flew thick and fast as the proposal to enter @ league was considered and it finally ‘was decided to place these before the fans, if possible, in order that they might express themselves. Here are the arguments listed as favorable to the league: 1, Reduced cost of operation. The salary list would be held to $1,000 a month, exclusive of the manager's salary. A former big leaguer would be obtained as manager and there would ‘be no limit on the amount paid him. Such salaries normally range from $175 to $250 a month during the play- ing season. 2. It would give young players an pportunity to test themselves in Wague baseball. The salaries paid them usually would be small, going as low as $60 a month, but players ‘would be easy to get.because of the possibility of climbing higher in Wague baseball. 3. Objections to mixed color teams would be eliminated. The rules of the national association of baseball Yeagues would apply ‘in this respect. Schedule Problems Solved 4. The problem of scheduling baseball games would be solved be- fore the season opencd. In the past some difficulty has been encountered in this respect because of the scarcity of high-class teams in this part of the country. 5. The competition afforded by a league ‘would stimulate interest in baseball and restore the former spirit of friendly rivalry between cities en- rolled in it. 6. Establishment of a league would stimulate interest in baseball gener- ally, support the junior baseball pro- gram which has grown rapidly in the state in the last few years and afford such “kid” players as show talent an opportunity to test themselves in or- ganized competition. Just one big question dominates the arguments against league entry. This is: 1, Will Bismarck fans support a class D ball club? Back of this issue lie certain facts which are agreed to by all parties to the discussion. These are that the class of baseball played by the Bis- Bismarck’s Entrance Into Class D Baseball League Is Considered Five Nodaks Score Upset b: Defeat- | bie Nashingtons || Os Ds Cage * ing George Washington; Bison Tie Texas Tech New York, Nov. 24.—(?)—Football beads down the home stretch of the 1934 season Saturday with five of the year’s biggest battles on the program to decide national and sectional title claims or merely personal grudges. Only in ‘the Big Ten and on the Pacific Coast are any titles likely to be decided’ before Thanksgiving Day but such affairs as that are secondary when Army mects Notre Dame, Yale plays Harvard and Minnesota’s mighty Gophers go out for the last time against Wisconsin. In the matter of attehidance two of the East's colorful spectacles that have no bearing upon the national championship and the Stanford- California struggle on the West Coast, involving one major claimant of the crown, are) expected to outdo Min- nesota, Some 80,000 spectators are expected to jam their way into the Yankee stadium to! see Army, beaten only by | & Illinois, do battle with Elmer Lay- den's Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Yale's triumph over Princeton last week has stirred up interest in the ajElis’ struggle with Harverd to the Point where about 60,000 are expected to see the game. Stanford, its record marred only by a tie, probably will have the largest crowd of the Pacific Coast season, 75,000, on hand when ‘t faces the Golden Bears, A victory for the Indians may also decide the Coast Conference race, in which Stanford and Washington State now are tied. The Cougars may find a handful of trouble in their clash with Washington's Huskies, Rice! Risks Loop Honors Rice, another of the few remaining unbeaten teams, risks its place in the Southwest Conference race and in the national spotlight against Texas Christian bus the championship struggle will drag on a week or 80 longer. H * For the fans who can't get around to see the five big contests, Saturday's short but interesting program offers such games as Princeton-Dartmouth, Columbia-Syracuse, Temple-Villano- va, Rutgers-Colgate and Lafayette- Lehigh in the East. The Michigan- Northwestern, Chicago-Mlinois and Ohio State; Iowa games wind up the Big Ten season while Nebraska-Mis- souri, Kansas State-Iowa State, and |Kansas-Michigan State top the Big jSix. In the Southern Conference action is delayed until Thursday except for Maryland's, encounter with an out- sider, Georgetown, while the south- eastern group has only a secondary program with Tulane, co-leader, fac- ing Sewanee, Auburn meeting Geor- gia, and Florida encountering Geor- gia Tech. North Dakota University gave the week-end a good send-off Friday night by defeating George Washing- ton 7 to 0 in a major upset. The Nodaks, playing a waiting game on a rain-swept field, finally blocked one ef Tuffy Leemon's punts and recover- ed for a fouiti-period touchdown. North Dakota State traveled almost peter to play a 20-20 tie with Texas The Texas Longhorns, led by the brilliant Bohn Hilliard, advanced a notch in the Southwest Conference rating by trimming Arkansas 19 to 12. marek club during the last two years has been considerably higher than that of any class D league. Some enthusiasts contend that class A ball ‘was played, if not class AA, which is the level of the biggest minor leagues. It is admitted that the main reason for this was the presence in the lineup of certain negro players, barred from the big leagues because of rules as to color. Another factor is that a Jeague schedule might interfere with so-called “big” games such as those with the major traveling teams which annual- Jy imvade the northwest and which have furnished some excellent enter- tainment here. Interest Might Lag It is contended, also, that if such games were scheduled a class D team could not give the travelers sufficient competition to make an interesting contest and that interest would lag as @ result. ‘The second objection is that class ‘D baseball has been tried in this part of the country before and has failed. In 1922 such an organization was formed but it went broke, with dis- ‘astrous results to the backers in some of the towns. It is further urged that, if other towns in this area join a league, it will be easier to acquire skillful color- ed players next year than has ‘been true in the past and the cost will be Jess since competition for their serv- ices will be lacking. It is probable that arrangements will be made soon to obtain some ex- pression of opinion from Bismarck fans in order that a representative may be sent to a proposed league meeting, scheduled for December 4 at Devils Lake. If enough support 4s manifested there it is probable that 8 league will tentatively be form- ed at that time and application made to organize baseball authorities for a charter and franchises for the towns to be represented by teams. During the last two years baseball fm Bismarck has been sponsored by the American Legion and it is pos- sible that a recommendation on the by the Legion’s baseball @ommiree in tne near future.

Demaray took the third round and was pounding his oppon-j ent unmercifully when Referee Daw- son stopped the fight. In the semi-windup “Wild Bill” Hasselstrom of Fargo slugged his way to a clear-cut victory over Ernie Pot- ter of Fort Lincoln in a furious four- round affair. Both of the heavy- weights waded in from the opening ‘gong and stood toe to toe slugging it out on several occasions, Hasselstrom ‘came in repeatedly under Potter's guard and used @ hard right cross with devastating results.

Mel Engle, 126-pounder, tantalized Eugene Drake of Fargo with a smart opened up to win by a wide margin.
