Clan McLeod Shows No Signof Having Emerged From

Mid-season SlumpBy MASON E. TAYLOR

(Associated Press Sports Writer)Chicago, Feb. 16.—</P)—Billiards

now lias its czar like baseball andthe movies.

The cue wieldcrs’ "Landis” is DrRalph 11. Wheeler, well known Chi-cago surgeon, who is president ofthe National Billiards Association.

Under his authority, the associa-tion will take over supervision ofall professional billiards matchesbeginning with the national pocketbilliards tournament here March5-17.

The impetus for the new regimein billiards came from the leadingpros themselves, 31 of whom signeda petition to the N. B. A. to takeaway from commercial interests thepromotion of professional billiardsmatches.

Stars Head ListWelker Cochran, 18.2 billiards

champion; Otto Reiselt, three-cush-ion title holder, and Frank Taber-ski, pocket billiards champion, head-ed the list of signers.

Tuberski will be first to defendhis crown under the new state ofaffairs, participating in the Marchcompetition. The N. B. A. tourna-ment committee, is choosing as hisopponents tho ten leading playersof the season. Ralph Green-leaf was winner of the title in lastyear’s tournament and, throughchallenge matches, Taberski suc-ceeded to the honor. The latterhas defended his title twice in chal-lenge matches and faces a tourna-ment for the championship for thefirst time.

According to the petition of thepros, the competitive championshipconditions of the past have not al-ways been satisfactory. They saythe game has lacked that indepen-dence of action necessary if it is toadvance along with other sports,which long ago divorced themselvesfrom commercial dominance andformed their own organizations toact as governing bodies and con-duct the log championship meets.

DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:45

Capital City Reserves and

Mandan Papooses Will PlayPreliminary at 7:30

Gloomy is the word that describesthe prospects of the Bismarck HighDemons repeating their early seasontriumph over the ancient rivals,Mandan High, in the second meetingthat is billed for tomorrow night onthe Braves' court.

Coach Roy McLeod's basketeershave not yet shown any Rijns ofhaving emerged from the slump ofthe past three weeks while CoachLeonard McMahan’s quint has neverlooked better.

J. C. Gould, superintenden. of theMandan* public schools, announcedtoday that extra bleachers had beenconstructed in the gallery of thehigh school gym, where the gamewillbe played, and that the teatingcapacity willb; about 700.

The doors willopen at 6:45 p. m„Mandan time, and the preliminarygame between the Bismarck All-Americans and the MandanPapooses will start promptly at 7:30p. m. The big game willbe calledimmediately upon the close of thefirst contest.

Great Battle ExpectedMandan, flushed with its victory

over the classy Jamestown five, andBismarck, disgruntled with its lack-adaisical showing against Bart Mc-Leod’s clan, nevertheless willforgetover-confidence or an inferioritycomplex and settle down to thegreatest cage battle of the season.Past performances bear witness tothis fact.

Mr. Ruth’s between-seasons avoirdupois is receiving rough treatment at the hands ofth c IJabc and his trainer, Arthur A. McGovern, at McGovern’s New York gymnasiumbefore it goes south for further attention at the Yankees’ Florida camp. Here, leftto right, you see pictured a sparring match between Ruth and McGovern- thenRuth looking very demure in his sweating outfit; and finally a little musele-loosen-ing by McGovern.

New York, Feb. 16. (AP)Charley Winter, blonde youth whowon the mid-winter Madison SquareGarden six-day bike race with Fred-die Spencer as his partner, hassigned for the 44th internationalgrind here March 4-10.

Lineups of both crews will prob-ably be the same as in the first gamewith the exception that Stephens islikely to face off in Helbling’s placeon the McMahan outfit.

CONNIE MACK HASNO INTRODUCTIONfOR NEW PLAYERS

Trig Speaker and Bing MUlcrHave Displaced Ty Cobb

and Zach Wheat

By BRIAN BELL(Associated Press Sports Writer)

New York, Feb. 16.—(*)—Con-nie Mack, in introducing a 1928 out-field two-thirds made over fromthat of 1927,< will not be called uponto introduce either of the two newoutfielders to the territory theywill patrol.

Tris Speaker, who will play ashort distance behind second baseand call it center field, knows allthere is to know about the centerfield terrain of Shibe Park just ashe does about every other Ameri-can league field.

Bing Miller, coming back to theAthletics to play right field, is real-ly coming home, for most of hismajor league career has been spentwearing a White Elephant uniform.Miller broke in with Washingtonbut went to the Athletics in 1922and remained on the outfield staffof Connie Mack until 1926 when hewas traded to the St. Louis Browns.Now he is back again, with a bitmore bulk but still fast.

Simmons Moves OverAI Simmons, sole survivor of the

outfield cast, completed by Ty Cobband Buck Wheat in "The Runner-Up of 1927,” will have to go onlya few feet to find his corner. Heplayed center field last season. Thisyear he will move over to left tomake room for the gray ball hawkwho in spite of his 40 years cantravel along with the best outfield-ers in the bup’ness. Simmons hitsthe ball in spite of his awkwardstance and in 1925 hung up a markof .386.

Speaker will prove helpful to theAthletics beyond question. TheTexan showed the youngsters howto go back on a fly ball 20 yearsago and he is still showing them,old and young, that many a poten-tial extra base hit can be caughtif a fielder starts early enough inthe right direction.

The veteran Speaker, long afriendly enemy of Connie Mack onthe ball field and friend and ad-mirer off the battle front, in ex-pressing his pleasure at becomingassociated with the cagy Connie,said with a sigh of regret, "I wishI could play alongside Ty one sea-son.”

Tris Not CheapCobb, however, had to go away

before Speaker could come in, forTy was expensive and Tris is notcheap. Some of tho close observ-

es suggested last season wherCobb was signed by the Athleticsthat his fading legs would not carryhim through another campaign.They were wrong for tho GeorgiaPeach played regularly until theAthletics had second place cinchedand could not go any farther upthe ladder. Cobb’s eyes were justas good as ever and ha hit amongthe leaders. His weakness was ondefense. He was not equal to thequick starts outfielders must makefor hard-hit balls.

Speaker will catch some of theballs Cobb missed, although he isnot likely to hit as well as hisfriend from Georgia. At that hewill bat over .300. As WilbertRobinson said of Cobb, Speaker andWheat last spring:

“These old boys will be able tohit when you have to roll ’em tothe plate in wheel chairs.”

SPEED TRIALSLockhart and Campbell Will

Strive to Break Mark of203.7 Miles Per Hour

Daytona Beach, Fla., Feb. 16.(JP) —With one titanic rival eliminat-ed from officially recognized compe-tition because it did not conformmechanically to regulations of theAmerican Automobile association,two other racing machines todaywere tuning up for an attempt tobetter the world’s speed record.

Will Be RebuiltMr. White said last night that

after preliminary trials tho machinewould be rebuilt to conform to A. A.A. standards.

Withdrawal of the White entry,with its 36-cylindcred motor andnon-streamline experimental con-struction, left the machines ofFrank Lockhart. Indianapolis, andMalcolm Campbell, London, to essaynew records during tho present pro-gram of speed events on the beach.They have until next Wednesday tomake their efforts.

Lockhart’s car, a Stutz “Black-hawk Special,” is a long, low builtcar powered with a 400 horsepowermotor, while the Campbell entry re-

lies on a air service motorfor its propulsion and is als<> spe-cially designed to offer a minimumof wind resistance.

NAPOLEON UPSETSDOPE BY BEATING

HAZELTON, 33-26Honapartes Get Revenge in

Clean Win Over Fighting

Hazelton Tigers

Napoleon, N. D., Feb. 16.—Afighting band of basketeers fromHazelton were defeated Tuesdayevening by the Napoleon town teamon the Napoleon high school courtby a score of 33 to 26. The localteam headed the Hazelton aggrega-tion at the half 25 to 15. ]

Hazelton opened the scoring whenBristol, center, sank a long onefrom the field, and Kalber, forward,made good on a couple of close triesat the net. With the Emmons countyteam leading 6 to 0, Ed. Doerr, Na-poleon forward, made it 6 to 3 by agoal from the field and a freethrow. Goals in rapid successionby Houser, E. Doerr and A. Doerrput the Bonapartes in the lead,which they retained for the remaind-er of the game. I

Ed. Doerr, former U. N. D. eager,'and Mac Houser, forwards, per-formed in a stellar fashion for theNapoleon townsmen, Doerr piling up Ia total of eight goals and two freethrows, and Houser gathering sevenpoints by three shots from the fieldand one from the free throw line.The defensive play of A. Doerr andS. Meier, Napoleon guards, wascommendable, and Doerr also con-tributed a pair of field goals.

For Hazelton, Bristol, who form-erly played center on the James-town college team, and Kalber, for-jward, looked the best. Although'Bristol was held to two field goals |by the close guarding of the Napo-leons, he was a big factor in theoffensive and defensive play of theHazelton team.

This was the second meeting ofthe two teams, Hazelton taking thefirst contest by a 32 to 28 score.
