Humor in Abundance
to Be Found in Bible

Whether or not book has wit, 1t
can't be great without humor. If we
say that the Bible is humorous we are
giving it the utmost praise. Not
funny, and seldom witty, but almost
always humorous.
Think of the strongly marked tenn
permanent in Jacob or in Joseph. When
we say they are very human, we are
recognizing in the one certain apti-
tude for trickery. which Is in our tenn
permanent also, though perhaps less
strongly marked--and we are fair
enough to observe that Jacob had
some better traits besides, which are
less developed in us.
In the other we recognize most I'M
pleasant habit Of taking himself seri-
ously, and Of telling his family Of his
merits. We have caught ourselves at
the same mischief and we know that
the family il always the worst audi
ence to tell such news to.
Or recall the little man who insisted
on running to King David with the
news Of Absalom's death, but who
didn't get the news straight anu forgot
it on the way. Or even David himself,
on his deathbed, relapsing into a par
ticularly tragic mood Of vengeance
and giving Solomon hint as to the
treatment an old enemy ought to get.
Such stories would be cynical If they
were not humorous; to cite them as
though they did not belong in a sacred
book is to blind ourselves to humor, to
that tragic behavior of our natures in
those moments when we are weak or
off our guard. How else could we In
terpret st. Peters cowardice and re-
pentance?
Most delightful of all the Old Testa-
ment stories, perhaps, is that of Naomi
and Ruth. We think more Of it rather
than less because Naomi, in stating
her claim on her kindred to provide
Ruth with husband, passed over the
near and poor relative. and set her
heart on the wealthy Boaz. If we
recognize her motives, 1t is because
we have met them in ourselves. John
Erskine in the Century Magazine.

Season for Hunting
Chickens Is Closed

The 1928 chicken season has
passed.
The hunting season on the prairie
chicken family, which opened Oct. l,
closed yesterday.
Chickens, though plentiful, were
wild this year and it was difficult
to get close to them," many hunters
say.
Hunters in the state will now con-
centrate on hunting ducks and
geese, though many Of them will
lay aside their guns until cold
weather brings the geese down into
the state.
Practically all chicken hunters in
Burleigh county purchased their
licenses at the beginning of the
duck hunting season, taking advan-
tage of early duck hunting, tegin-
ming Sept. 16.

JACK M'CANN CHALLENGES IOWANSAS
PRELIMINARY TO new YORK CAMPAIC
North Dakota Heavywei ght
Champion Anxious to Prove
That He Is Only Logical
Titleholding Contender That
Can Be Produced in West

Jack McCann, seeking the heavy
weight world to conquer, is going to
get the toughest bouts in sight be-
fore he packs his ring clothes for
his New York jaunt in a few weeks.
As Jack says, IF l can't report
to Leo P. Flynn in the best condi-
ton of my career, with some clear
cut victories under my belt, then !
might as we'll quit the racket" :.
But Jack emphasizes, "I'm not
quitting the racket, am in the pink
and will knock off some Of these
pseudo western champs before !
again part the ropes in Madison
Square Garden"
And Jack is proving his state
ments by intensive road and ring
conditioning here in Bismarck every
day. In addition, he is challenging
every heavyweight Of note in the
middle-west.
Yesterday Jack wired SPEEDY"
Lane, well-known Des Moines sports
man, that he had challenged the win
ner Of the "Red" Wilson-Billy Shine
fight to a 1O-round match, anytime
and at any place, the sooner the bet
ter.
Are Iowa Hopefuls
Few North Dakota fans know
"Red" Wilson or Billy Shine. They
are two of the numerous crop of
heavies that Iowa is producing and
sending out after the title vacated
by Gene Tunney.
Wilson aid Shine are clashing in
Des Moines on Friday night and
Lane has let Mccain know that he
will be matched with one or the 9TH
err if they will accept the North Da-
kotan's challenge.
It isn't easy for heavyweight to
find opponents. The ring woods are
not full of the porcine boys that
please promoters and produce the
big thrills for leatherpushing-follow-
ers.
Just how scarce they are can be
judged by the big roundup that Tex
Richard is now staging in an en-
deavor to find q colorful mauler to
take the place of his Million Dollar
babies,-Dempsey and Tunney.
Mccain Real Contender
Mccain is one Of the best of the
prospects. Leo p. Flynn would not
handle the big Sanger lad unless
there were possibilities, plenty OF
them, in the dinosauric frame Of the
westerner.
Mccain feels, that to live up to
his managers expectations, he noust
polish off all visible contenders fol
Richards galaxy OF stars in this ter
ritory.
II want to meet not only the win
ner Of the Wilson Shine fray but al
so any other heavyweight out here
who thinks he can stop me-"

Demon Reserves Are Given

Invaders

The Bismarck Demon reserve
football team will meet Hazelton at
Hughes field tomorrow afternoon,
according to Mentor Roy Mcleod.
The reserve eleven is unusually
strong this year and is expected to
take the southern invaders into
camp. Hazelton has lost two close
games to the Linton outfit which
was defeated by the Bismarck regu-
lars, 80 to O.
Bismarck's starting lineup will
probably be as follows: Dale Brown
and Wally Green, ends; Church, and
Hartley, tackles; Whitley and Enge,
guards, and Erlenmeyer center.
Potter will be stationed at the quar-
ter post, with Johnny Spriggs,
Smith, and Bob Larson in the other
positions.
The game will be the first regular
tilt for the reserves this year.

BILLY WAS AVORED

Minneapolis, Oct. 17.-(AP)-
King Tut, Minneapolis lightweight,
tonight gave Billy Petrolle, the Far
go Express, a terrifice beating IN
one Of the most sensational ten
round smuggling matches ever seen
here, in the opinion Of newspaper
men.
Each fighter rave Il rare exhibit
ton of courage and ability to as
simulate punishment. Each was on
the floor twice and on the verge OF
n knockout. but Tut, drawing on
stronger recuperative powers, out
lasted the Express.
Tut's victory was an upset as Pc
trollc went into the fight favorite
by virtue of two previous victories
over his opponent. one of them
foul in four rounds, and the other
in ten rounds.
Petrollc weighed 131 IL and Tut
tipped tn, scales at a pound more.
Dick Daniels, Minneapolis middle
weight, beat Norman Wilson, Taco
ma, Wash. in six rounds.
Joe Gordon, Minneapolis middle
weight, outpointed Johnny Gerarden
Of Los Angeles, in six rounds. Cor
don scored : Touchdown the first
round.
Herman Ratzlaff of Minot, N. d.,
decisively outpointed Mike SaurO OF
st. Paul in a six rounder, in the
opinion Of newspapermen. Ratzlaff
weighed ISL IL, nine pounds less
than his opponent.
Tut was in sorry distress in the
second round but was determined to
fight it out on aggressive lines. and
when a wild swinging right crashed
solidly on Pctrolle's jam, with 20
seconds to go in the fifth round, the
battle turned.
BY the end of the sixth the En-
press was taking terrific beating,
and the bell saved him in the sew
cnth when he was still out and the
referees count had reached eight.
The rest Of the fight was Tut's,
but he was too worn out to put a
knockout punch through the open
ings offered by Petrolle.
1t was two-handed brawl from
the start. Tut staggered Billy in
the first, and Petrolle came back in
the second with a series Of right
crosses that sent the king to the
canvas for the count of four. The
Express held his lead up into the
fifth.
Ratzlaff gave way ten pounds to
Sauro, but won every one Of the six
rounds. The North Dakota boys
tricky left had Mike bewildered.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-(AP)-If
money is any object, Rogers Horns
by will play with the Cubs next sea-
son, William Wrigley, principal
owner of the Cubs, said today.
If it is money the Boston Ma
tionals want, we can give it to them,
but the trouble is the amount may
run in excess of $200,O0O," Wrigley
said.
The hitch in any dealings to bring
the Boston second baseman to Chi
cago, it was indicated by the club
owner, most likely would come
through the number and calibre of
players the Boston club would de-
mand. Wrigley said Boston was
