Sensational Harry Rusan Leads Colored Invaders to 22- 10 Lead at Half Making their farewell appearance before Capital City basketball fans, the Phantoms fell before the superior cage wizardy of Saperstein’s Harlem Globe Trotters here Thursday night. ‘The score was 34 to 23. In a preliminary game the Killdeer ‘Independents earned the right to rep- resent this region in the state Class 3B tournament at Lakota next week ‘when they defeated the Linton quint, 28 to 22. Playing a brand of basketball that left little doubt as to their ability and experience, the dusky stars jumped to an 8 to 5 lead in the first quarter, Ancreased the advantage to 22 to 10 at the half and held a safe lead throughout the final two periods without exerting themselves. ‘The game came to a virtual stand- still a few minutes before the final ‘whistle when the colored boys began their clowning tactics. Refusing to be humiliated, the Phantoms stood round and looked on and for a time ‘the ball lay untouched in the middie of the floor. Rusan Leads Dusky Stars Harry Rusan, a dead shot if there ver was one, showed the way for the anvaders’ victory with five baskets. Apparently all the colored cagers had to do when they wanted two points ‘was to feed it to the sensational Rusan, give him enough room to plant | hhis feet and Qoen watch the ball swish ‘through the hoop. Ford, guard, was ®econd high for the visitors with four field goals and a like number of free ‘throws. Don Arthur was high-point man for the game. He dropped in five bas- kets from the floor and added a brace ‘of shots from the free throw line. Harold Massman, making his last @ppearance in a Phantom uniform before leaving to join the Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago on their way to the spring training camp at Hot Springs, Arkansas, turned in an out- standing performance in the back court. Harold Tait and Don Bondy also gave good accounts of them- selves. McDonald Stars for Killdeer Led by McDonald, who scored seven field goals from his position in the fore court, the Killdeer Independents built up a 12 to 2 lead in the first quarter and maintained a slight edge throughout the rest of the game de- spite a Linton rally in the second period which cut the lead down to four points. { In the last quarter the Linton team out-played and out-scored the Kill- deer outfit, but could not hit the hoop consistently enough to overcome their early deficit. McDonald was high scorer with 14 points and Fogle, Linton guard, was second with nine. Bice, Killdeer pivot man, and Blore and Graf, Lin-} ton forward and center, tured in other creditable games. Tonight the Phantoms will meet the Globe Trotters for the fourth time ‘this season in a game to be played at Mott.

Place Behind Bat, Predicts 55 Wins for Rooks Fort Myers, Fla., March 15.—()— ‘Upon the broad. capable shoulders of James Emory Foxx rests the chance to make the Philadelphia Athletics a first-division contender in this year's American League pennant race. With Foxx shifted behind the bat, after seven years as one of the game's outstanding first basemen and slug- gers, Connie Mack believes he has filled the big gap created by the de- Pparture of Mickey Cochrane and for- tified an otherwise powerful, much improved ball club. Foxx himself is so optimistic that he predicts three of the youngsters, Joe Cascarella, Bill Dietrich and Johnny Marcum, will turn in as many as 55 victories under his direction. Merritt (Sugar) Cain, who lost six games by 2-1 margins last year, says he won't drop the close ones this sea- son with Foxx handling him. Alton; Benton, a sophomore, and Leroy Me-| OF JIMMY FOXX Roxborough, feels he needs more ex- perience, but Joe doesn't agree with him. Schmeling and Carnera are the best heavyweights in his path to a shot at Baer, Joe believes. Art Lasky, of Minneapolis, he says, “can be hit with yo’ eyes shut—with any hand.” Class B Titlists Open State Cage Classic at Valley Linton Plays Strong Maddock Age Reeder Meets Wil- liston in First Round Valley City, N. D., March 15.—(®)— Eight regional cage titlists converge on Valley City Friday for the opening of the annual class B state cham- Pionship tournament. haffey, a veteran, both right-handers, probably will round out the starting | corps.

Wallace Moses may displace big Ed) Coleman in right field. Roger Cra- mer, in center, and Bob Johnson, in left, are fixtures. ‘The A’s may have seven .300 hitters in their batting order. With such power and if the great Foxx experi- ment works, the club looms as the dark-horse of the pennant race. Joe Louis Confident He Could Whip Baer Detroit, March 15.—()—Champion Max Baer, in the modest opinion of young Joe Louis, is a “wild swinger” who can be hit. The 20-year-old Negro, the “brown bomber” whose dynamite-laden fists have ripped him a spot in the front) ranks of heavyweight contenders, would like a match with Baer this summer. There's no suggestion of boastfulness when he drawls: “I be- eve I can knock him out or decision him in 15 rounds.” Louis said his manager, John W. Minot Model high and Taylor clash | in the opening game at 3 o'clock, fol- | jowed an hour later by Williston and Reeder. In evening games, Aneta meets the Park River Aggies at 8 o'clock and Linton engages the Ma‘ dock Aggies at 9 o'clock. Semi-finals will be played Saturday morning and the finals Saturday night. Because of the decisive victories in regional games, Aneta and the Mad- dock Aggies loom as the strongest contenders for the title relinquished by Grafton, 193¢ champion. Grafton has challenged Grand Forks for the right to enter the class A tournament at Bismarc. Aneta overwhelmed Enderlin for the regional crown, 39-8, and Mad- dock defeated Enderlin 23-4, The referees will be Dick Holzer, Moor- head, and E. L, Dersagel, Aberdeen, 8. D. Amateur-Pro Teams Enter Quarter-Finals St. Augustine, Fla., March 15.—(#) —Eight professionals and eight ama- teurs—one of each forming a team— play 36 holes of best ball match golf Friday in the quarter-final round of the first annual national amateur- professional elimination tournament. Two rounds of 18-hole match play coupled with high winds Thursday sent some of the country's best pros and amateurs out of the running. OUT OUR WAY 6uT TAG mh LL ih HAH-HA\ BEA RUNT!

J Tribune Trundlers| ing School Floor SQUADS AT FULL STRENGTH Demons Rate Slight Edge by Virtue of Wins Over Both Class B Quints Opening the Bismarck - Dickinson- St. Mary's challenge series, the winner to participate in the state Class A tournament here next week, the De- mons will tangle with the Midgets at 8:30 p. m. (Bismarck time), tonight at the State Training school gymna- sium at Mandan. All three teams have had a week's time in which to prepare for the challenge games and the full squads will be available for the two-game series. | The winner of tonight's encounter will play the Capital City parochial cagers Saturday night, either here or at Mandan depending on which team emerges with a victory in the first game. Intensive drills featured the work- outs of the two local teams during the past week with Coaches Roy Mc- Leod and Ted Meinhover giving their first string lineups plenty of oppor- tunity to prove their worth against the second teams. Probable Starting Lineups Probable starting lineups and re- serves for the three teams are: Dickinson—Forwards, Bill Feiler {and Edgar Agnew; center, Lawrence Tanberg; guards, John Robertson and Chuck Agnew; reserves, Wiench, Howe, Hanel and Curn. &t. Mary’s—Forwards, Urban Ha- gen and Frank Geiermann; center, Bill Croake; guards, Bob Murphy and Tommy Lee; reserves, Pete Fisher, Rausch, Jim Hurnung, Fred Schultz, Ronald Erickson and Welch. Bismarck—Forwards, John Cam- eron and “Peck” McGuiness; center, Ollie Sorsdahl; guards, Buddy Beall and Billy Owens; reserves, Bud Kanz, Neil Croonquist, Leon Doerner, Bob Peterson and Vernon Hedstrom. P. E. Meckelson of Fargo and Duke Henrikson of Valley City will offi- ciate. Comparing the three teams on the basis of games they have played against each other, the odds go to the Demons with a pair of victories to their credit over each of the Class B challengers. Demons Have Edge After pulling out a narrow one- point win over the Midgets in a game played at Dickinson, the Demons were |™ forced to repulse a strong scoring rally in the last half before they could claim the second triumph on a hard-earned three point margin. Closely pressed in the first game with the Saints, the Demons took advantage of the fact that Bill Croake was out of the lineup and had less difficulty annexing the second. Dickinson handed St. Mary's their first defeat of the season in the only game between the two teams. Scores of the three tea Bismarck 18, St. Mary's 14. Bismarck 24, St. Mary's 15. Bismarck 23, Dickinson 20. Bismarck 27, Dickinson 26, Dickinson 18, St. Mary's 9. Over the state, one Class A team has successfully defended its right to) enter the North Dakota classic, another has been beaten and a third is likely to suffer a reverse in the challenge game. Devils Lake took care of Starkweather in handy fashion but the Jamestown Bluejays went down before the strong Wahpeton five in a game played at Fargo. Already beaten twice by the Grafton quint, the Grand Forks Maroons are slated for some rough sledding when they clash with that team at the Univer- sity armory Priday night. i! Wing Independents Defeat Tuttle Aces (Special to the Tribune) Wing, N. D.,"March 15.—In the last game of the season for both quints, the Wing Independents defeated the Tuttle Aces, 41 to 17. The victory gave the Wing five @ one-game ad- vantage in games played between the two teams this season. Leonard Kre- menetsky led the Wing five in the scoring column with eight field goals and four fyee throws for 20 points. Jacobson was next in line with 11, while for Tuttle, the play of Elliott was outstanding. Summary: Wing Independents wu K| 3 Jacobsen, f ... Kremenetsky. f . Hall, ¢ Mueller, & Leo Kremenetsky, g..

(Asso- Carnera Favored To Win Over ‘Imp’ Giant Heavyweights Will Fight Over Ten-Round Route at Madison Garden New York, March 15.—(®}—The super-dreadnoughts of Fistiana, Primo Carnera and Ray Impellitiere, will come together in Madison Square Garden's reinforced ring Friday night for a 10-round bout that sets @ new high in total tonnage, Carnera at 260 pounds, Impelli- tiere at 258, and Jack Dempsey, slat- ed to referee, at 200, will try the staying powers of the ring to the ut- ost. The question of who will win is entirely secondary to the circus as- pects of the bout. From a spectatcr | viewpoint, it should be one of the most entertaining shows of this or any other indoor season. Carnera, former world’s champion, has such a wide advantage in exper- jence that he has been made a 3 to 1 favorite. “Da Preem” expects to end | matters in a few rounds. The Garden hopes to match Fri- day night's winner with the survivor of the Art Lasky-Jimmy Braddock match next Friday night. After that, the ultimate survivor. may be asked to take on Max Schmeling although there's no assurance at all that} Schmeling would agree to such a pro- gram.

SCHMELING WINS OVER HAMAS Clark’s Lame Apparently Healed Dodger Lefthander Sets Yanni- gans Down With Four Hits, Whiffs Three Fla.—William Watson Clark, once one of the National League's finest southpaws, has main- tained for several weeks that his arm, lame for a couple of years, is sound again. Maybe they'll believe him now. Lefty pitched four innings for the ‘Brooklyn Dodgers varsity Thursday, gave the Yannigans four hits, two of them scratches, struck out three and walked none. St. Petersburg, Fla—The New York Yankees still are chuckling Fri- day over the performances of Russ Van Atta and Dixie Walker, a couple of. 1934 lame arms who re- ceived those famous dollar-a-year contracts. Van Atta took a four- inning pitching stretch Thursday and allowed only one hit. Walker, who couldn't throw at all last year, was tossing strikes from the outfield all day, one ending in a double play. Biloxi, Miss——-The Washington Senators—their ranks reinforced with the capitulation of Pitcher Wall Stewart to owner Clark Griffitl terms—were ready to open their com- petitive training season Friday against Albany.
