The score was 43 to 27. The difference between Monday night’s encounter and the two previ- ous games—the first which the local independents lost, 43 to 34, and the second which they won, 35 to 29— ‘was, simply enough, the addition of Don Arthur, former North Dakota state hardcourt luminary. Don Bondy, whose stellar perform- nce in the back court was one of the outstanding features of the game, drove in hard under the hoop to cage the first field goal in the opening minutes of play. Harold Tait and Ted Meinhover followed suit shortly after and the Phantoms took an early lead. Shaeffer Stars for Visitors Arthur added three field goals ear- ly in the second quarter and Ben Jacobson hooped a long one before the sensational Shaeffer, Swede for- ward, began dropping them in from every corner of the court.

The latest checkup on the holdout situation reveals only a dozen players unsigned and of these only three can be considered really in earnest about the whole matter, Gus Shur, clever first baseman of the Pittsburgh Pirates, so far has resisted all overtures from Manager “Pie” Traynor, but it will start to cost him money soon and that may bring action.

The Babe doesn't contemplate any Personal feuds with Dizzy Dean or anyone else. Even if the ace of the St. Louis Cardinals’ pitching staff flung a lot of unkind remarks at him, he atill considers Dizzy “just a‘kid.” Admires Cardinal Spirit But Ruth admired the fighting temper of the team that won the world series last fall, and he believes it’s the answer to what the game needs to recapture public interest. “Look at big league hockey,” he said. “People like to go see it because there's plenty of fast action and the chance of some good old-fashioned “Don’t get me wrong, however. I'm not advocating a return to the rowdy, Tough-and-tumble days of baseball.” Ruth's arrival from New York late Monday was the signal for the big- gest welcoming demonstration a ball- has ever received in the fa- mous “Grapefruit Belt.” 000 people jammed the railroad sta- tion.
