Over 3,000 fans witnessed the hard- fought championship encounter in which Grafton maintained a comfort- able margin of two to one through the first half, played on even terms through the third quarter and then survived # spirited Wop rally. Injury to two players, Napravnik and Wilson, center and guard, in the semi-final round Saturday morning, handicapped the courageous Wahpe- ton aggregation as the turned in a smooth exhibition. In two preliminary games Devils Lake captured third place in the tourney with a 28 to 23 victory over Mandan while Minot trounced Fargo, 24 to 12, for fifth, Wope’ Offense Halted Vigorously aggressive, the Grafton) quint maintained a close defense ‘against Wahpeton's offensive efforts and led by Paul Johnson, flashy cen- ter who showed the way to victory with six spectacular one-handed field goals, controlled the ball through most of the first three periods. He was ably assisted by Francis ‘Whalen, star forward who connected four times from the field and Ever- son and Maxwell who figured strong- ly in the team’s defensive work. Grand Prairie Wins Consolidated Title Devils Lake, N. D., March 25.— Playing true championship basket- ball, Grand Prairies smooth- working outfit out-rallied Gran- din, defending titleholders here Saturday, overcoming a big weight advantage to win by 23-17 and take the 1935 consolidated cage crown | to Barnes county.

L, | Coleman's Grandin athletes, | Norman Smith and Harvey Rife stood out on the Wahpeton five, Smith tallying five field goals and Rife two, the latter out in front on all the scoring drives. Entering the last period of the championship engagement, Grafton held an eight point lead with the Score at twenty-five to seventeen. ‘Two quick counters by Rife brought the Wahpeton crew within striking distance. The play speeded up as both teams anxiously watched the time board. With six minutes to go Wahpeton guard, Robert Wilson, went out on personal fouls. Whalen Protects Margin ‘Wahpeton counted another field goal but Whalen came back to make the count 29-30 and as the tournament came to an end, Schwarzrock brought Wahpeton to 25, four points behind ‘the new champions, who succeed Minot, 193¢ titlists eliminated in first round play this year, Play of Wahpeton and Grafton in the finals Saturday marked the com- te banishment of Class A club Hai meee felicia for the first ti 5 school play was @iassified in 1930.

You Bruins, Rangers Win Stanley Cup, Title Encounters Boston Scores 1-0 Victory Over Maple Leafs; New York Turns Back Montreal New York, March 25.—(?)—The Boston Bruins and New York Rang- ers, who finished first and third re- ‘spectively in the National Hockey League's American division, forged to league title and the Stanley Cup got under way during the week-end. A third of the opening round duels, involving the second-place Montreal Maroons and Chicago Blackhawks, was tossed directly into the lap of the gods who will govern the second games Tuesday, when their first con- test ended in a scoreless tie Saturday. Boston, battling the Toronto Maple Leafs for the league title and a place in the finals, won the opening en- counter of the best-three-out-of-five series, 1-0 in a long overtime en- counter Saturday. ‘The Rangers took a 2-1 edge over the Montreal Canadiens Sunday night in their third-place playoff after sur- viving one of the bloodiest and most exciting stick and fist battles seen here in years. The second contests of all three ser- jes will be played Tuesday in Boston, Chicago and Montreal. The Maroons’ and Blackhawks start theirs all square while the Rangers carry over a one- goal margin as the two-game second and third place duels are decided on total goals for the round.

March 25.—(?)—In- fluenced by the balmy gulf coast at- 8nd /rirst quarter, was behind 12 to 1: Midgets Lose Consolaton honors in the state high school basketball tournament for Class A were won by Devils Lake, which de- feated Mandan, 28 to 23, for third and Grafton here Saturday night. Devils Lake took a 6-3 lead in the half, edged ahead {20 advantage at the end and campaign this year in the American League. After watching his club drop swift- ly from championship heights to sev- enth place, Owner Clark Griffith swapped pilots with Boston in one of the most profitable deals in major Teague history. The “Old Fox” sold the release of his star short-stop manager, Joe Cronin, to the Red Sox for $250,000 in actual cash and Shortstop Lyn Lary. He then re-engaged the popular Har- tis, who managed Washington's first two pennant clubs in 1924 and 1925. Otherwise, and with the substitu- tion of Johnny Kerr for Al Schacht as the “stooge” for Nick Altrock, base- ! ball’s No. 1 comedian, the Senators are substantially the same outfit that ‘won the flag in 1933, only to take a licking from the New York Giants and then tumble completely out of the Picture in 1934. At one time or another, every regu- lar on the Washington club was a ty. J Ralph (Red) Kress, a jack-of-all- infield-trades with the Browns and ‘White Sox over as six-year period, looks like the nearest solution to the problem of replacing Cronin. The rest of the infield, with Kuhel at first, Buddy Myer second the hard-hitting Cecil Travis, Ossie ‘and figures to contribute a .300 bat- ting punch. The recruit sensation is Alvin (Jack) Powell, product of the Wash- ington sandlots who hit .356 for the Albany Internationals last year and appears to have beaten out the vet- eran Fred Schulte for the center- fietd spot, working between the Slug- wind Heinie Manush and Jonathan jtone. Four seasoned pitching holdovers, Earl Whitehill, Wally Stewart, Lefty ‘Bob Burke and Monte Weaver, turn- ed in only 40 victories last year. They will have to do at least 50 per cent better if the Senators are to get any- where. Cliff Bolton, a .300 sticker, is the No, 1 catcher.
