‘ i 4 THE BUCKET By John Aijelie Lion-hearted Billy Mears, Bismarck’s | Popular little bantamweight, was the hero of last night's fight card here de- Spite the fact that he lost by a knock- out... Mears put on one of the gamest exhibitions blood-thirsty fight fans who saw the knockout-strewn card has ever witnessed... Even ‘when he had gone down for the fourth time he was ready to come back for more ... and struggled to his feet Just before the final count that would have given Smith a sure-enough knockout instead of a technical k.o. -.. As it was, it looked from where we were seated as if Mears still had one knee on the canvas when Mel Engel brought his hand down on the count of 10... * * * CROWD DISAPPOINTING Apparently it takes Dick Demaray, to pack them in for fight cards here. ... Gentleman Dick headed the last three programs staged in the Memo- rial building ... and on each occa- sion the faithful turned out in goodly numbers... . but last night the atten- dance was not up to what it should hhave been for the show the boys put on, . . According to the pace set dur- ing the past 10 months, four or five fight cards a year seems about the limit for Bismarck . . . and fans who really get a bang out of watching the leather pushers belabor one another ought to be able to support that many... Without the patronage of the fans the sport will just fold up and quit... * * * PLENTY OF EXCITMENT All in all, the card last night wasn’t anything to kick about... certainly the Prett Farrar-Wild Bill Hassel- strom bout was all anyone could ask . -. the two big boys, conscious of the fact that they were the main attrac- tion of the evening and ambitious to put on a show worthy of the honor, mixed things up from the start... If either of them backed down for a min- ute, we didn’t see it... But Farrar has just a little too much ring cun- ning for the game Hasselstrom. . , He took the best Wild Bill could hang on him... and came back to return as good as he received. . . The finishing “touch” is still ringing in our ears ».. and probably Hasselstrom’'s too, for that matter. . . It was the hardest smash put across in a Capital City arena for some time past... x * * RETURN MATCH? According to our way of thinking, a return match between Hasselstrom and Farrar would meet with favor among fans here. . . Any time the two fellows meet fireworks are assured. .. . Either as a main go or as a pre- liminary to another fight it would be certain to help the turnstiles hum a paying tune. .. Which brings up the question... Will Farrar get that much-talked of match with Jack Gib- bons here, as it was said the winner of the Farrar-Hasselstrom fight would? ... Well, Farrar won... and he'd probably be just the kind of a fellow who would get the St. Paul boy, one of the cleverest boxers going but not at all famous as a puncher, into the squared circle here and then LUMINARIES Introduced from the ring were two men known in fistic circles through- out the country. . . Johnny Dada, one of the VERY best featherweights in the world a few years back, and Johnny Sikes, who is billed to fight Jack Gibbons in St. Paul next Monday night. .. This stuff about Dada rat- _ing among the really greats of the ring isn’t blah ... it’s the straight goods ... get out your record book ‘and see for yourself... Sikes, who has fought some of the top-notch light heavyweights during his career, ‘Was a8 good an example of the picture- fighter, at least as far as looks are concerned, as one is apt to see in Many a moon... No marks of the trade about that boy... He might easily be taken for a college student ... if that’s apy joompliment. oe * DEMONS RIGHT AT TOP Bismarck high school’s football team was billed to risk an unblemished Tecord against Valley City this after- noon ... the Demons rank right at ‘the top of the state standings at pres- ent, along with Jamestown and Fargo ). . . Wahpeton, also still undefeated, is not play- ing within the state this week-end. - Another top-notch dish on the ’s menu is the Minot-Fargo game. ++.» The Midgets will be favored to stretch their win record to four straight but Minot just isn’t to be counted out until the last whistle sounds, .. Maybe those Magicians can pull that game out of the hat... They gave up their only defeat of the year to Jamestown two weeks ago ... only defeat at the hands of an N. D. prep foe, that is... the Jamestown setback is the only one as Valley City’s record thus far... But Grand Forks and Mandan each seem to be definitely out ,of the running... The Braves were to try for their first victory against Dickinson today... Cubs Beat Chisox to Even Chicago Series Oct. 8 —(P)— The battie Pionship shifted from south to north eng as the White Sox and Cubs, holding one victory in their baseball “civil war,” swung into their TO PLAY; DAWSON | BACK IN UNIFORM Glaser to Take Place of Star Triple-Threat Man at Half- back Position GAME TO START AT 3:30 P. M. Hi-Liners Will Put Veteran Eleven, Beaten Only by Jamestown, on Field Victors over St. Mary’s and Man- dan in their first two starts this fall, Bismarck high school’s Demons will get their first real test of the season against Valley City’s high ranking Hi-Liners here this afternoon. ‘The game, which will be played on the city ball park gridiron, will start at 3:30 p. m. and not at 4 p. as did the two previous Demon con- tests. Bleachers erected along both sides of the playing field will ac- commodate the large crowd that is expected to turn out. Bismarck hopes for victory were not at their highest as the Demons prepared to enter the all-important game — all-important in the part it may play in determining just who will be the state's prep-school champions this year. It was probable that Chuck Mur- ray, star triple-threat halfback and climax runner for the Demons wou'd not be able to play. Murray injured his ankle in the Mandan game last Friday and did not report for prac- tice this week. He will be in uniform however and may be inserted in the lineup for a short period. Dawson's Return Helps Return of Dawson to the ac- tive squad was a bit of good cheer that did more than a little to dispel some of the gloom cast over the Bis- marck camp by Murray’s injury. Dawson, captain and fullback, is one of the best blockers on the squad as well as the best of the line-plungers. With Murray on the sidelines, it was likely that Liberatus Glaser, re- ser halfback, would take his place. If that is the case, the backfield will probably shape up like this at the starting whistle: Jack Bowers, quar- terback; Glaser and Harold Smith, halfbacks; and Dawson, fullback. Harold Smith, who has paired with Murray to do some of the classiest ball-carrying and aerial work that will be seen here this fall, will be counted upon to fill Murray's shoes in the role of a triple-threat man. The fastest man on the team, Smith is a potential touchdown runner from any part of the field. Others who may see action in the backfield, and more than likely will, are Charles Shafer, Al Potter and Harry Kern. Probable Lineup Named In the starting lineup, unless Coaches Glenn Hanna and George “Shaky” Schaumberg make any last- minute changes, will be Ed Lee, left end; Walter Brophy, left tackle; Bull McDonald, left guard; Harry Rish- worth, center; John Jordon, rigant guard; Harry £ ‘indling, right tackle; and Jim Donaldson, right end. In line for reserve duty are Ernest Paul, Edgar Derrig, Warren Kraft, Nick Berbie, Ed Haggerty, Dick West- pial, Bilily Dohn and Elmer Ros- wick. Thus far the Valley City eleven has won two games by top-heavy scores and lost one to Jamestown’s high-powered Blue Jays, who at pres- ent shape up as favored contenders for the state title the Hi-Liners held last year. The two triumphs were at the expense of Wishek and the Park River Aggies, both good outfits. If the Demons aren't able to get by the Hi-Liners, observers who have seen leading class A teams of the state in action say, there is small chance of their being able to stop the Blue Jays and Fargo's powerful Midgets in two later tilts, not to mention Minot’s Magicians, still o strong factor in state prep football. Demon Line Heavier The probability is that the Bis- marck line will slightly outweight Valley City’s but the Hi-Liner for- ward wall will have an edge in ex- perience.

The Valley City backfield will probably offset the line’s disadvantage in weight with bigger men than the Demons can put on the field. Only one more home game re- mains on the Bismarck schedule after Next Friday the Fargo and the week after that, Oct. 22, they play Minot in the season’s home finale.

Mary's high school’s football team traveled westward with blood in its eye Friday for its game with Het-| tinger’s strong eleven there Friday aft- ernoon, It will be the third game of the season for the St. Mary’s outfit, which beat Wilton in its opener and since then dropped games to Bismarck and Linton. Nineteen men were to make the trip to Hettinger, with Dutsky Schneider, disabled offensive star one of the number although he was unlikely to play. The squad was to leave Friday morning and return to Bismarck to- night. Forming the St. Mary's backfield will be Bob Patzman, quarterback; Ben Jundt, fullback; and Nicky Schneider and Johnny Weigel, half- backs, according to the tentative line- up. In the forward wall will be Johnny. Entringer, left end; Al Campagna, left tackle; Bob Garske, left guard; Clarence Ressler, center; George Gar- ske, right guard; Burnett Cavisino, right tackle; and either Donald Downey or Steve Brown, right end. Others who will make the trip and who are certain to see action are Jack Geiger, Frankie Weisgerber, Mar- shall Varney, Eugene Gustafson, Don- ald Berger, Peter Crane. With Dutsky Schneider out of the lineup, it is likely that Jundt and Weigel will share the punting duties and carry the main offensive burden, although Patzman and Nicky Schnei- der both have performed well in pre- vious games and may be counted upon to do their share.

O. Hasselstrom in 9th POLO GROUNDS FOR THRD SERIES CAME Monte Pearson Selected by Mc- Carthy as Prince Hal's Op- ponent on Mound New York, Oct. 8.—(7)—The Giants were in bad shape, indeed, Friday as they threw their sinker-ball artist, Hal Schumacher, against the Yankees in a desperate attempt to stave off what looked like inevitable world ser- ies defeat. The National Leaguers were on their home grounds under Coogan’ Bluff, but after the plasterings ab- sorbed the last two days on the op- posite bank of the Harlem it was doubtful whether they could derive much comfort even from familiar sur- roundings. They looked licked Thursday night after Rufus (The Red) Ruffing had pitched and pounded them into their second straight 8-1 defeat. The pain- ful but unavoidable conclusion of 57,000-odd fans who saw them hum- iliated again by sheer Yankee was that the Giants didn’t belong in the same ball park with the dis- ciples of swat. Need Two More Although the Yanks still needed two victories, there was no doubt in any- body’s mind that Schumacher had to come through admirably Friday and his teammates to start the cover off the ball if the Giants were to escape the ignominy of a four- straight trouncing. Monte Pearson, a righthander like Schumacher, was Manager Joe Mc- Carthy’s logical choice to follow in the footsteps of Lefty Gomes and Ruffing. Manager Bill Terry, downcast at his team’s collapse, apparently had no more idea how to pull them out of it than you have. He only spread his hands hopelessly and croaked: Nothing They Can Do “They've beat hell out of us for two days. They're hitting and we're not, There's nothing you can do about that, is there?” There didn’t seem to be, at that, unless the Giants could have all world series games shortened to four in- nings.
