re aa sec oes | Braves | LOCALS RELINQUISH LEAD NRAPO-FRE LAST PERIOD RALLY Diminutive Swede Farr Slips Through Demon Offense to Cage Three Buckets OWENS STARS FOR BISMARCK 4 Inexpert Guarding Paves Way | for Capital Citians’ Setback Here Wednesday Diminutive Swede Farr led a rally in the last period that enabled the Mandan Braves to overcome a lead the Demons had held throughout three quarters of the game and score a 26 to 22 victory over the Bismarck high school quint on the locals’ home court Wednesday night. Trailing 17 to 12 at the end of the third quarter, the Braves put to- gether three field goals and a brace of gift shots by Farr, a bucket each by Geiger and Ordway and a pair of free throws by Ferderer to pull out a triumph from a seemingly hopeless situation. The Brave victory evened the inter- city basketball series, the Demons having annexed the first game at Mandan, 21 to 20, carlier in the sea- son. Inexpert guarding by the Demons throughout the entire second half eventually paved the way for the Braves’ win. In all, 11 personal fouls were called on the local five. eight of which the Mandan cagers converted for needed points. Demons Lead at Half The Demons took an early lead and} held a 6 to 2 advantage at the end of the slow first quarter. They still had a 7 to 4 edge at the half but had clearly outclassed the visitors both in guarding and passing up to that Point. H Starting the fourth quarter with a 17 to 12 lead, the Demons loosened up on their defensive play just enough to permit the speedy Farr to slip through on fast breaks down the floor. Farr opened the final period with two free throws but Ollie Sorsdahl looped one in from the floor to maintain the Demons’ five- point advantage. Ordway reduced the lead to three} points with a nice one-handed toss] and Geiger whittled it down to one after evading his guard under the basket. Neil Croonquist registered his second bucket of the game as the Demons went ahead by three points but Farr slipped through for three baskets in a row to put the Braves safely out in tront with less than three minutes left before the final whistle. Passing Becomes Erratic ‘Trying desperately to pull the game out of the fire, the Demons became erratic in their passing and the last two minutes were a riotous mix- ture of fouls and noise by the crowd. Captain Billy Owens went out on personals during this period. Ferderer converted two points from the free throw line and Croonquist added one to boost the Demon total to 22. Parr, with four field goals and three free throws for a total of 11 points, annexed high-scoring honors, while Geiger, a teammate in the back court, was second high with three; baskets from the floor and a like number of gift shots. Owens led the Demons in the scor- ing column with three buckets and a brace of free throws, Sorsdahl con- trolled the tip-off and turned in a fine all-around performance, recov- ering the ball off the bankboard with regularity and caging two field goals and a pair of free throws. “Peck” | McGuiness looked especially good under the basket and added much to the passing attack. There was little difference in the Demon lineup no matter who Coach Roy McLeod put on the floor. Johnny Cameron, “Pete” Peterson, Bud Kanz nd Vernon Hedstrom all gave good |. accounts of themselves during their stay in the game.

YANKEES TAKE Newark Bears Graduate Seven Players for Tryouts With Major League Club New York, March 7.—()—Taking a tip from the indestructibility of the 1934 Detroit infield and borrowing their theme from a current Broad- way stage success, the Yankees are heading into the 1935 campaign with Plenty of “accent on youth.” This, of course, is a perfectly natural reaction to the Yankee fortunes of war last season, when the once so robust Ruppert Rifles barely managed to imp into second place after skull fractures, finger infections, caving knees, sore arms and general infirmities of base- ball age had harassed them all through the last half of the summer. At least seven members of the championship Newark, N. J., Bears of the International league will be grad- uated, at least temporarily, from that tlourishing farm and given chances to prove their new blood is the type needed for the transfusion Manager Joe McCarthy has been vowing ever since mid-season of '34. Into the outfield—where the un- doubted passing of Babe Ruth and the serious injury last summer of Earle Combs may create the Yanks’ most pressing problem—will come leaping Jesse Hill, who was a great broad jumper and footballer at South- ern California and last summer prov- ed himself the International's out- standing fly-chaser.

McCarthy doesn't seem to have been able to do much about his in- field, which staggered through last summer with a different complexion almost weekly—except, of course, jfor the Durable Dutchman, Lou Geh- tig, on first.

Three catchers—Norman Kies and Joe Glenn from Newark and Willard Hershberger from Hollywood—have been signed in an effort to provide more relief for Bill Dickey, one of the Yank cripples of ‘34. Hersh- berger has the best mathematical mark, hitting .314 for Hollywood in the Coast league, but Glenn was high- ly regarded in the International.

Returns to Scene Head Sees Robust ! Season for Babe| Harridge Grudgingly Admits That Change Will Do Won- ders for Bambino West Palm Beach, Fla., March 7.— (®)—Perhaps it isn’t the smartest thing in the world to go around boosting the other fellow’s business, but Will Harridge, president of the league that lost Ruth, conceded frankly Thursday that the Babe Probably is in for a robust season as ® Boston Brave. “If he'd stayed with the Yankees as a player,” said the American League head as he dropped casually in for a word or two with the Browns, “he'd probably have been just another outfielder. “But this change of scenery, the inspiration he'll get from the fans all over the National League circuit, this starting all over again in a new league, will do wonders for him.” It's with the deepest regret that Harridge speaks of the passing of Ruth, one of his personal heroes, from the league where he achieved fame. He has said before that there was nothing clse to do. The Babe rated his chance to become a manager, there was no such chance available in the American league, therefore in all justice, much as it hurt, the Babe had to have his release. “It will be quite a shock seeing the Babe in National league flannels,” he sighed. ‘Dusky Roamer Girls f Will Play Phantoms An exhibition game between the colored Roamer Girls of Chicago and the Bismarck Phantoms will be played at the State Training school gymnasium at Mandan to- night.

Washington Ousts Simmons in Left jWhite Sox Manager Moves Ve- teran Gardner to Center Field Position Veteran Gelbert Begins Comeback Cardinal Shortstop Roams In- field With Agility Despite Injured Foot Bradenton, Fla, March 7.—(?)— The Florida baseball camps are buzz- ing with comeback hopes this spring, along with the perennial ambition of the rookies, but none carries more drama than the return of Charley Gelbert. Gelbert's left foot was nearly shot off in s hunting accident more than two years ago, abruptly cutting short the career of one of the greatest shortstops in the major leagues. Gelbert today is roaming his old spot in the infield of the St. Louis Cardinals with agility, speed and confidence that is nothing short of amazing as well as a tribute to sur- {gical skill. A week of practice has strength. ened, rather than diminished, the Prospects of his comeback. “Strange as it may seem—and I can hardly believe it myself—I'm faster now than I was in 1932, my [last big league season,” Gelbert said after a brisk workout. “My toes have been a bit sore but otherwise my foot seems sound and I've ceased to worry about breaking down again.” Always a strong batsman, Gelbert (By the Associated Press) Pasadena, Cal.—Al Simmons isn’t wishing Vernon (George) Washing- ton ill luck, but he hopes the young- ster doesn’t fit in at left field in the Chicago White Sox lineup. Simmons wants to play left him- self, but Manager Jimmy Dykes in- sists he will do his work in center field, with Washington, who missed the American association batting crown last year by a fraction of a point, in left. CARD HURLERS IN FORM Bradenton, Fla—The St. Louis Cardinals batterymen have advanced so rapidly during four days of train- ing that the outfielders and infielders will have to look at curves of near mid-season proportions when serious battling drills start Thursday. FOXX IS A's MAINSTAY Fort Myers, Fla.—Connie Mack, ve- teran manager of the Athletics, pins his pennant hopes on Catcher Jimmy Foxx in a pre-season appraisal of his team. RUFFING MISSING St. Petersburg, Fla.—The absence of BOB FINNEGAN ee k FORMER DEMON NODAKS AGAINST PHANTOMS Bismarck Cager Is Member of High Scoring Finnegan-to- Witasek-to-Birk Trio Bob Finnegan, sophomore star with the University’s North Central Con- ference champions, returns Saturday to the basketball court on which he first gained fame as an all-state for- ward while playing with the Bismarck high school team. The former Demon star, teaming in the fore court with Emmet Birk, was a big factor in the Nodaks’ drive for their second consecutive loop title. With Herman Witasek, Sioux pivot, the trio came to be known as the Finnegan - to- Witasek-to-Birk combi- nation, maintaining individually rec- ords of over 10 points per game for the season. Dubbed the point-a-minute Sioux by sports writers, the University team went through their conference sched- Charley (Rufus the Red) Ruffing, continues to mystify the scribes who follow the Yankees’ training activi- ties. The management has clamped down the lid of silence concerning Ruffing since he was definitely listed as a holdout and the only information available is that he hasn't signed and hasn't left his home at Nokomis, Ill. RUTH GETS REST St. Petersburg, Fla.—Another over- flow crowd was looked for Thursday is heavier and showing as much if not more power in hitting drill than he ever did, all of which contributes to one of the toughest decisions Manager Frankie Frisch ever has had to make. Leo Durocher, captain and short- stop of this championship club, had one of his best years in 1934, His spirit and pepper meant much dur- ing the team’s dash to the pennant. He was a world series hero. He has been around longer but he is only a few months older than Gelbert, both jare 29. So it looks as though Gelbert will have to fight it out with Durocher, who will have the edge, at least until the former Lebanon Valley college star proves he can come all the way back.

With Big Ted Meinhover vieing with Witasek; Ben Jacobson and Don Bondy or Harold Massmann watching the two University sophomores, Fin- negan and Birk; and Don Arthur and Harold Tait or Johnny Spriggs giving Booth and Aamoth something to think about, the Phantoms are confi- dent of turning back the high-scoring invaders.
