RICHARD PLANS
ANOTHER ARENA
Would Construct Duplicate OF
Madison Square Garden
in Chicago

New York, March 3.-R-Plans
for constructing duplicate of Mad
ison Square Garden in Chicago have
been discussed at a conference be-
tween Richard and George F. Getz
of Chicago, who aided Richard in
the promotion Of the Tunney- Demp-
sey tilt. Getz informed Richard he
would sound out prospective back
ers for the undertaking.
~Rickard, who has lease on the
Yankee stadium for outdoor boxing
in the summer, has been trying to
lease the polo grounds also in order
to block rivals.
Meantime. Richards pursuit Of a
suitable opponent for Tunney will
be renewed in the Jack Sharkey-
Johnny Risko go for a week from
next Monday. If the showing of the
, principal is outstanding. Richard
may decide to send the victor
against Tunncy in June. Otherwise,
the promoter says he will conduct Il
final clash, pitting Heenev against
the winner Of the last semi-final.
Many observers are inclined 10 the
belief that when all the rehearsals
arc over, Richard will have Damp-
sey in line for a third encounter with
Champion Tunncy.

JOE HARRIS IS
BACK READY
FOR BIG YEAR
Pirates 35-year.old Veteran
Has Signed a 1923
Contract

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 3.-(P
Illness was believed to have forced
J,e Harris from the big league pic
ture last season, but the 35-ycar-old
veteran, feeling great" has signed
his 1928 contract with the Pirates
and expects to figure in many an
other game during the coming cham
pionship race.
With Grantham available for first
ase duty this season, Harris prob
ably will be used as a utility in
fielder and pinch hitter. Despite his
illness he played 1919 games last year,
batting 1926 and fielding 1908.
Joe's hustling example and lead
ership proved invaluable to the Pr
rates in the close race and he did
r UGH to keep the players in a win
ring frame of mind. Joe was in uni

o Farr.s kent the players in the
right mood, pleaded with him to stay
in anywav.
When the race ended, the Pirates
victorious, Joe stuck it out for the
World Series and not until the final
game would he admit he was serious
ly i'll with stomach trouble.
Hunting excursions into the wintry
Pennsylvania woods, and treatments
by a specialist who lives near Joe's
home share the credit for the i'm
provement in his condition. He saws
k-'s new man.
When Harris came to the Pirates
from Washington, many fans
thought the veteran would be used
only as a pinch hitter. He fooled
TEN all by fitting in perfectly as a
regular and thinks he can spring a
surprise or two this season.

MANDAN SINKS

Wishek failed to live up to its
promise of the morning and fell by
the wayside when Mandan's cannon
aders playing a super-brand Of ball
riddled the Wishek mesh to win a IS
to victory Friday night.
Starting with the opening whistle,
Mandan paraded the floor with
speedy dribbling. bullet passing and
uncanny accuracy in the vicinity of
the backboards.
Blair Scitz flipped 20 points to
lead his mates in the scorebooks
while Lloyd Mcdonald returned to
form and tailed 10 points.
Gordon Morris and Stephens we're
runners-up to Seitz with j. points
apiece. Arthur and Russell also
scored while Helbling was the only
member of the McMahan squad who
failed to count. However, his de-
fensive work was sensational and he
it was, who time and again started
the dashes up the court.
In the first half, Wishck scored
three points, all from the foul line
and it was not until late the second
period that Krein was able to loop a
long toss through the hoop.

The. high hurdler must remember
to take off far enough back Of the
barrier usually Z 1-2 or feet) and
to get over and land about four feet
past the hurdle.
Hurdling is practically the same
as sprinting. The start is import.
int and hurdlers should practice on
it. Proper training in speed can be
obtained through the running Of 40
yard dashes. Hurdling is more
strenuous than sprinting, SO there
must be more stamina. This can be
accomplished by running several
22O-yard dashes and doing some
early jogging up to $50 yards.
Breathing is natural. The secret
Of hurdling is to get over the sticks
as closely as possible. To acquire
a technique, many experienced hurd-
lers practice knocking cinders off the
tops without touching the barriers.

this duo performed like veterans.
Spriggs tossed six field goals and

sphere through the net from deep
in the court on three separate occa-
sions also adding another point from
TIL free throw line.
In lambasting the Holsteins from
west Of the Missouri, Bismarck set a
tournament record-not allowing the
New Salemites a single field goal.
Mccormick was the only Holstein
able to score, the 1.-THE performer

three of four times.
At the first pole, Bismarck led II

In the third quarter, Bismarck

the close of the eight minutes.
Bismarck had many chances fol
rolling it's count over the SO or ever
the GO mark in the last quarter but
careless shooting held the score

Again Bismarck failed to show
any outstanding stars. Captain

When man hurdles with the left
foot forward, as most do, it is US
ually necessary to start with the
right foot forward instead of the
left, as does q sprinter. This is be-
cause it is Is yards to the first
hurdle and it generally takes eight
strides to reach this point, which
means that each foot hits the ground
four times with the take off on the
right foot.
Technically there are three strides
taken between each hurdle to cover
the ten feet there. In reality the
number Is four II one counts the

In. early season training no hurdler
should actually clear a barrier. A
hurdle weighs many pounds and if
the ankle or knee strikes the top of
one, serious bone injury may result.
So the athlete should place two
hurdles side by side with the space
Of . hurdle between and then stretch
.; piece Of cloth, such as bandage,
between them. This can be stuck in

height and prevents possible injury
until form is perfected.
After . few days work on this one
hurdle, the boy should begin the use
Of three Or four and continue using
more than one. In this way form,
stride and proper speed can be OBJ
tanned. This isn't possible with only
one.
