Solid smacks of leather against flesh echoed through the World War Memorial building as the 35 simon- pures from eight Missouri Slope coun- ties, who were registered, weighed in and given physical examinations ‘Thursday night, sought to eliminate first round foes in their respective di- visions. Bouts during the morning and early afternoon were to reduce the field to finalists or semi-finalists in each of the eight weight divisions with the championship matches slated to start promptly at 8:30 p. m., tonight. Smiland Wins Title Orvil Smiland of Mandan, repre- senting Morton county, claimed the first title of the day. Smiland was awarded the heavyweight champion- ship by virtue of being the only fight- er entered in that division. Heaviest firing in the preliminary bouts occurred in the welterweight ‘and lightweight divisions with seven entrants in each.

Manager Donie Bush is optimistic over the team’s chances. There still is hope of getting Walter Tauscher, big right hander, back from Cleveland. Right now Minne- apolis would open the season with Rosy Ryan, Ray Kolp, and Belve Bean, all right handers, and Ray Prim and Archie McKain, portsiders. Bush is hopeful of getting Garback from Cleveland as his first string catcher because Pinky Hargrave and two rookies leave that position con- siderable weakened.
