LOCAL QU|NT Wins
ON MANDAN FLOOR
Bismarck Highs Take the Second
Game From Mandan by Score
of 43 to %.

Accompanied by a big squad of
rOoters, the Bismarck high school
basketball team went to ,Mandan last
night for the second game of the Sc
ries with the team from across the
river, and returned with the scalps OF
the Mandan players dangling at their
belts.
1t was almost necessary to get a
rapid calculator to keep track of the
baskets made by Albertson. forward
on the capital city team. He scored
10 of the 20 points secured By Big
marck in the first half and added
7 to his grand total in the second
half. Blumer and Grambs were close
seconds in the latter period, each get
ting 6 points to their credit. The
work of the guards, Flow and Hum
phreys, was also of high caliber,
and they held their men down in fine
shape. Smith played part Of the
second half for Bismarck and showed
up well.
| Young did the heavy work for the
Mandan team, and secured Is of their
% points. Too much credit must not
be given the men who did the heavy
scoring, however, as all members OF
the team shared the honors with
them, as they were continually fed
by the other players. when in posi-
lions for most accurate shots. The
first half score last night was: Man
dan IL, Bismarck 20, and the final
score, Mandan %, Bismarck 49,
The Bismarck team clearly out
classed their opponents in last nights
contest, and showed much better
form than they did in the game with
the Tower City team last week. The
locals seemed to be little off color
last week and did not show up in
their real form.
Coach Hahn is to be congratulated
on the team which he has developed
this season, and with proper support
and encouragement there is no reason
why the capital city team cannot
win the state championship this year.

BRESNAHAN TO SUE
OWNERS Of CUBS
Depcsed Leader Will Start Action
to Enforce Terms of
Contract.

Chicago. Jan. 2S-While President
Wecghman and Manager Tinker were
toiling overtime yesterday to reduce
the Cub-Whale roster, former Man
agcr Eresnahan was laying plans to
institute suit for damages against
the new club owners for declining to
retain him as manager of the Cubs.
Following conference between
Weeghman and Bresnahan, the latter
declared he would begin legal pro-
ceedings to enforce his contract with
the Chicago league ball club, which
has two more years to run. This,
Bresnahan claimed, is copper-rivet-
to manage the Cubs in 1916 and 1917
and draw a per annum stipend Of
$4,000 for doing it. He declared he
would not be satisfied with any com
promise that meant loss Of prestige
or position to him, and added that
it was not all question of money,
but of protecting himself and his rep
ntatiOn.
limitations were made by friends
Of Bresnahan that he might resort to
Injunction proceedings If necessary to
get results.
This decision, Bresnahan asserted.
was not made until he had obtained
definite declaration from President
Weeghman that he was no longer a
manager.
Regarding the situation, President
Weeghman said: II hope ,Bresnahan
doesn't do anything rash, for he
hasn't leg to stand on. While |
have promised and now intend to see
that he does not lose anything on
account of the unfortunate tangle that
has arisen, | shall not feel like doing
that if he starts a fight. His con-

of Serious Accident While
at Play.

Valley City, N. D., Jan. 2S.-As
Harold Davidson was practicing for
basketball. he suffered a fall which
was quite disastrous. bruising his
shoulder, throwing his elbow out of
joint and breaking the rigat forearm,
the sone being pushed through the
flesh, and a piece Clipped off and
pushed between the two bones of the

ed the extent of the break and on &C
count of the wound in the flesh it was
impossible to place the arm in cast.
He was taken to the Platou hospital
and the arm was put in cast, but it
is bad break and will require a
long time to heal. even il complica-
tons do not set in.
Harold has small brother in the
hospital at the present time, who has
been there for some weeks with a
knee which was injured over a year
ago. Victor has been patient suf-
ferer for over q year and now it is

DOMESTIC TROUBLES
FOR BAT" NELSON
Former Champion Is sueing Wife
for a Diverse on Grounds
Of Desertion.

Chicago, JAN. 2S.-Battling Nelson,
former lightweight champion, is today
making plans to begin divorce pro
ceedings in the event that his suit
filed yesterday for annulment Of his
marriage to Mrs. Fay King Nelson,
special writer and cartoonist of the
Denver Post, is unsuccessful,
He thought that back in 1918, when
he rushed to Denver and practically
kidnapped his bride, brought her to
Hegeweisch and married her, he had
handed Kid Cupid solar plexus
punch, but Kid Cupid uses barbed
darts instead of padded gloves and
that is where Bat fell down.
For, as he confesses in his bill,
from the date of the marriage up to
the filing of the bill, Mrs. Nelson has
at all times refused and now refuses
to live with him as his wife,
While desertiOn is given as the
grounds for the action, several in
stances of cruelty on the part of his
123-pound wife are cited in the bill.
"Why, say, it's the funniest thing
in the world" said. Bat last night.
"It's the strangest thing that ever
happened to me in my life. 'She's a
dandy girl and smart as they make
'em, but she just seems to take de-
light in gettin' me to warm up to her
and then sayin' everything is off.
'.Why say, her and me could get
knows along fine if it wasn't for her
crazy notions. She was just kiddin'
me, that's all. Everybody that knows
me knows I'm a dandy fellow to get
along with and she says so herself,
but she just won't be my wife. She
says we're pals and all that, but she
can't live with me. Can you imagine
it?

several weeks back in November.

Duluth, Jan. 2S.-TOmmy Gibbons
and some opponent. who will be de
cided on later by the officials OF the
Duluth Athletic club, will likely be
matched for local bout sometime
next month.
E. J. Whalen, president of the Du.
luth Boxing club, believes that the
younger of the famous Gibbons broth.
ers would prove a great drawing card
for this side of the bay. Tommy
many believe, is outclassed only by
his great brother among the middle
weights OF the world.
Tommy Gibbons has displayed a
wonderful amount OF Improvement or
late. His St Paul bout with Greb
proved that the boy who has absorb
ed about all the fine points of the
game possessed by Mike, IS ready for
big game
Jeff Smith, the Bayonne, New .Jer-
sey, middleweight, who has victory
over Les Darcy to his credit, has been
suggested as a probable opponent Of
the younger Gibbons.
Il am sure that Duluth will turn
ont big for the right kind of a scrap

should prove great card here. Many
of the followers OF boxing say Tommy
is just about as good as Mike We
are going to try to line up a. first

Tommy Gibbons and Smith should
go big here. Under Mikes constant
teachings, Tommy has come fast and
is already at the point where he is
