THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1935 Harlem Globe Trotters Clown Way to 34-14 Win Over Phantoms INDEPENDENT QUINT COMPLETE REORGANIZATION OF BOSTON BRAVES PREDICTED BADLY OFF REGULAR || OUR BOARDING HOUSE FORM IN ENCOUNTER | Dusky New York Cagers Exhi- bit Uncanny Accuracy in Passing and Shooting 1,200 PERSONS ATTEND Two Teams Will Meet in Second Battle at State Training School Sunday Manager A. M. Saperstein wasn't boasting one bit too much when he announced that the 1935 edition of the Harlem Globe Trotters is the Rreatest colored quint with which he has toured the northwest. Pitted against the ordinarily high- scoring Bismarck Phantoms, the dusky stars caged baskets almost at will, clowned when they had as- sumed a safe lead and put on a show that gave every one of the close to 1,200 local basketball fans that watched the contest, the thrill of their lives. The score, which was incidental after the colored luminaries began their clowning tactics, was 34 to 14 when the final whistle sounded. First Quarter Even Things were fairly even during the first quarter which ended 8 to 3 in the invaders’ favor with Big Ted Meinhover and Inman Jackson, Trot- ter pivot, alternating in controlling the tip-off and the Phantoms driv- ing in for shots with practically as much flash and drive as their highly touted opponents. But from that point on the New ‘York hard court artists dribbled. Passed and shot with such uncanny accuracy and speed that it fairly made the fans dizzy to watch them. ‘The score at the intermission was | 20 to 9 in the visitors’ favor while at the end of the third quarter the; dusky luminaries had piled up a 26/ to 10 advantage. Confronted with such formidable] Opposition, the Phantoms could not; get down to the brand of basketball they have shown here on previous occasions. They were visibly off their shooting form and while their pass- ing was good they were in possession of the ball only a small part of the game and had little chance to dem- Onstate just what they could do. Clown With Proficiency ‘With exasperating coolness the} Globe Trotters toyed with the ball Tight before the Phantoms’ eyes and all the local quint could do was stand there and watch the proceedings. Harold Massmann, Phantom guard. was the best individual performer for the local five while giant Meinhover turned in a very creditable perform- ance in holding Jackson without a single field goal. Meinhover was high-scorer for the Phantoms, sink- ing one basket and making good four out @f the six gift shots awarded him. There were no stars in the vis- {Mtors’ lineup—they were all stars. Russang, with six field goals, set the scoring pace while Ford, a guard, was not far behind with five. Sunday at 3:15 p. m. (Mandan time) the two teams will play a second game at the State Training} school gymnasium.

Has Discarded Opposi- tion to Tours of Athletes, Says Ferris BY DANIEL J. FERRIS (Secretary-Treasurer, Amateur Ath- letic Union) New York, Jan. 18—(#)--One of the main reasons why this should be @ great competitive year, in amateur) sports, is the inducement to our lead- ing athletes to gain places on teams to be selected for foreign trips. The A. A. U. has discarded its for- Mer opposition to having our athletes go abroad in a pre-Olympic year and there will be at least a half dozen expeditions to Europe, Japan and Asia Minor. An invitation has been received from Sweden to have the A. A. U. send another team of six or seven track men across the Atlantic to compete in Stockholm in a big three- day meet next July and thereafter tour Europe. Finland, which is not on the best of terms with Sweden athletically,! has asked the A. A. U. to send a team of five or six track and field men to tour their country, and the French A. A. U. is anxious to have @ small team tour France, Belgium and Switzerland. Holland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary ;and Norway also have made inquiries as to whether the A. A. U. would send any teams abroad this year.

In the absence of official comment, baseball observers expressed the opin- jon that only through complete reor- ganization could the club emergs from the tangle. Such a solution, they believed, prob- ably would mean the retirement of President Emil Fuchs as well as of Charles F. Adams, who not only is vice president of the club but holds most of the Braves’ mortgages and controls the hoiding corporation which eases Braves Field. As the situation stands, the Braves, members continuously of the league tince its organization in 1876, appar- ently have no place to play in 1935 be- bere they fell some $11,000 in arrears the payment of last year’s rent on raves Field.

But a bowler in duck pins—unless the new pins with the large rubber bands around them are used—is good if he averages 130! ‘The delivery of the ball in ducks is similar to the release of the ten pin ball, except that the duck ebonite has no finger holes.
