He was not the sort that fits into our

Chicago. Dec. Tin an informal
practice game played without an

tory from the touring University of
North Dakota basketball team here
Saturday night.
North Dakota's nomads stepped off
train at 1880 p. M, raced to the
gymnasium to play an hour later.
All of this followed 80 hours of riding
and the boys lacked their usual snap
and dash.
Lee Didn't Play
Vern Smith, who was substituting
for Levy Lee at center did not fill the
tall Valley City boys shoes. He scored
the first basket Of the game but could
not find the net thereafter.
Chicago's quick breaking offense, as
speedy as lightning. drove through
North Dakota's defense for many
close attempts. Most of these were
tried from difficult angles and the
Chicago boys made a smaller per-
centage Of their shots than did the
Flickers.
Three 20 minute periods were con-
tested. Chicago led 20 to 10 at the
end Of the first session. The score
was deadlocked at 10 each when
Eberly twisted his knee and had to
leave the game. Chagnon and Gist
then found the hoop with several fine
losses and Chicago took a command

Chicago added to this in the sec.

Schave took Eberlys guard.

Jack Hurley Announces Head
line Bout for New Years
Day Card in Fargo

King Tut Of Minneapolis. one of the
two outstanding challengers for the
lightweight championship diadem
worn by Sammy Mandell, will meet
Russie Leroy of Fargo in 10 round
contest at the Fargo auditorium New
Years day.
This announcement was made Sat-
urday by Jack Hurley, Fargo match
maker, after lengthy long distance
telephone conversation with Leo
Leayitt, manager Of his Egyptian ma
lesty.
Hurley declared that he selected
Tut as all opponent for the Dakota
blond because fans of this vicinity
seem anxious to see the fighter who
eliminated Billy Petrolle. temporarily,
at least, from the lightweight cham
plonship running.
Tut to Get Plenty
Hurley did not announce the de-
tails Of the financial deal he was
forced to accept in order to get the
Minneapolis fighter to accept the en-
gagement. Leavitt's first demand was
Tor a purse Of $500 and expenses
for three from Minneapolis and Hur-
ley countered with a $500 offer and
three railroad tickets.
The details Of the final arrange
mentS We're not announced but Hur-
ley did say that he reached a COM
promise with Leavitt on the purse
tut that Tut is still getting plenty
OF dough for this fight" Leavitt
raised minor disturbance over the
weight proposition, but finally agreed
to allow Leroy to weigh in at 1873
pounds 5 hours before the contest.
Leroy had previously agreed to weigh
1873 pounds.
Tuts Record Good
The Minneapolis lad with the
Egyptian name stands beside Joe

as the outstanding lightweight chal-
lenger. Tut earned this position in
the last II months with impressive
victories over Billy Petrolle, Stanis-
laus Loayza, Sid Barbarian, Tommy
Cello, Doc Smell, Ray Miller and Tod
Morgan, the junior lightweight cham
pion.
Ray filler is the Chicago battler
who recently knocked out Jimmy Nc
Larnln. turning the trick short time
after he had been trounccd by Tut.
Leo Leayitt, Tut's pilot, informed
Hurley that the Leroy engagement
would be the Kings last encounter
until he meets Click in Madison
Square garden late in January in a
final lightweight elimination.
Hurley said he believes that Tut
and Leroy should offer as attractive
contest as any offered North Da.

ed out that he will exhibit many of
his new fighters in the supporting
cast. namely: Charley Retzlaff. the

Will TAKE NEW.PLAN.

st. Louis. Dec. 17.-(F)-Sam
Bfeadon, Cardinal president. before
leaving Saturday for Honolulu, said
he expected the baseball world to &C
cept eventually. in modified form. the
suggestion of President John Heydler
of the National league to take the
burden Of batting, or trying to bat,
off the shoulders Of pitchers.
Ten men on team" he said, "is
radical departure from base ball as
We have known it for SO many years.
We are not ready for that, and don't
think we will ever. depart from the
basis of nine men on side, but there
is no good argument in favor Of MAX
ing the pitcher bat. He is a special
list.
MY suggestion is that the manager
of team be given the privilege of
letting his pitcher bat, or of passing
along his turn to the next man in the
batting order. You will still have
nine men on side and certainly no
one will argue that the batting Of a
pitcher is one of the things that draw
cash customers to a ball park.
On the other hand. the presence
of a pitcher in the batting order gives
you dead one. a recurring dull spot
in. your ensemble ball game"

Rangers Climax Week Of Vic.
tories With Win Over Detroit:
American Rise Sensational

New York. Dec. 17.-{P)-It has re-
CURED an ardent hockey fan this sea-
son to tell what team was at the top
Of each group Of the National League
but the New York clubs have simpli-
fled matters by going to the front
this week and staying there.
The Rangers, tied with Detroit for
the American group lead a week ago,
climaxed a week Of triumphs last
night by handing the Michigan team
to defeat.
The Ranger victory, following tri-
umphS over Toronto, and Les Cana
diens earlier in the week, gave them
a total of II points for Is games, and
a five point lead over Detroit. The
Cougars could get no better than q
tie with Ottawa out of three games
last week.
The Boston Bruins, close OH the
heels Of the leaders a week ago, could
not score against the Americans or
Toronto, and remain in third place
with a 10 point total. Pittsburgh and
Chicago, the tail enders, each made
a sligth gain, the Blackhawks in their
second victory of the season on Tues
day and the Pirates going a point
ahead Saturday by battling Ottawa
to a scoreless tie.
Although their present margin of
leadership is but two points, the New
York Americans overshadowed the
Rangers by their sensational rise to
the top last week. The Star Spang-
led players combined scoring punch
with their fine defensive game to win
three straight games. winding up with
a to 0 victory over Chicago last
night.
With the five international group
teams punched only a point apart a
week ago, the Americans possessed
themselves of second place by trounc-
ing Boston while the consistent Ma
rooms took the lead by beating De-
troit. Thursday night the New York.
ers took the lead by sending the Ma
rooms down by a to / count, only to
have them pull up OH even terms Sat
urday by tieing their Montreal rivals,
Les Canadiens.
With two tie games during the
week, Ottawa held onto third place
in the group. Toronto pulled ahead
of the Canadiens by defeating Boston
Saturday while the Frenchmen could
get only tie.
