LYNCHBURa TOBACCO SALES.

LYNCHBURG. Va, october 24.-The
opening of the bright tobacco sales here
today-an effort being made to re-
establish here bright market--was
attended by success, the sales aggre-
eating 1888 pounds, and the average
price was $14. Some of the offerings
sold up to $44.
The sale was very successful, in the
opinion of the warehouse men, who
declared they could now see no reason
why bright market should not be set
up here again. If this proves to be
the fact, it will be the first time in
20 years that bright stocks have been
marketed here.
Farmers we're present from Camp
bell, Charlotte, Halifax and Pittsyl-
vania Counties.

New York, Jan. 16.-(AP)-Wil.
bert Robinson, 61-year-old manage,
Of the Brooklyn Dodgers, hopes to
have something besides pitching
staff to keep him in the race for the
1928 National League pennant.
Consistently brilliant hurting ex.
hibitions by the Dodgers well-bal-
anced staff went for naught last
season because the team could not
hit and the infield left something to
be desired from a fielding viewpoint.
Time and again the aces Of the
mound corps held the opposition to
run or two. only to lose the YER
dict because the scoring punch nec-
essary to cash in on these perform
'ances was lacking. The Dodgers
finished last in the league in both
fielding and batting. Harvey Hen.

Rendered desperate by the i'm

and grabbed Del Bissonette, Inter-

Riconda, of Milwaukee, and Al Ty-
son, of Buffalo, in addition to get

Of the Boston Braves, to give his
wobbly infield some much needed

PHANT0MS Will
PLAY ARMY five
Fort Lincoln Will Be Scene Of
First Real Cage Game
in History

Fort Lincoln will introduce its post
basketball team to North Dakota in
dependent cage circles for the first
time Tuesday night when the Bis
marck Phantoms play the army all
stars at 8yo'clock in the post GYM
nasium.
This will mark the first time that
a basketball team foreign to army
circles has ever appeared on the
Fort Lincoln floor, basketball having
been inaugurated for the first time
in the posts history this winter
when an inter regimental league
was formed.
Nothing is known of the strength
OF the army crew aside from the fact
that one Of the companies stationed
here took the championship at Fort
Lawton year ago. That would in
dictate that khaki-clad cagers will
give the local independents royal
welcome.
Neil Churchill's performers are
still in the polishing stage, the Phan-
toms having difficulty in securing
the local high school floor for inten-
sive training sessions.
Marked improvement in the quail
ity Of the play has been pronounced
in each game and the be-spectacled
manager Of the Phantoms must be
satisfied with their playing to date
for he has issued new uniforms
which will receive their baptism in
the Fort Lincoln contest.
Organization of quint at the fort
to represent the regiment and their
first game against the Phantoms is
preparatory to scheduling some of
the strong independent aggregations
Of this section.
Prior to the feature game, Com
panies I and L will settle a league
dispute. The preliminary game
will start at Z p. m.

Valley Ties Score

Valley Ties Score
Mudgett opened the second hall
when he tied the count at Tall with
free throw and then put Valley in
the lead for the first time with an
other successful flip from the char
ity circle.
Mcdonald slipped in his only field
goal Of the game when he dribbled
under the net for setup. Stenshoel
then tied the count with q free
throw.
Seitz and Mudgett Numbered
during the next few minutes, bring.
ing the coupt to Hall as the rooters
shrieked frantically for winning
Brave rally.
Stenshoel and Arthur brought the
third quarter to q close with the
score IL and IL, both boys sinking
free throws.
Shrum Sinks Long Toss
Seitz put Mandan out in front as
the final quarter opened with one
successful gift toss out Of two at
tempts. 1t was q shortlived lead as
Shrum, standing i'm his guard posi-
ton, lifted the spheroid over the
heads of both teams to sink the
longest and most sensational shot Of
the game.
That floor-length toss was the
turning point Of the affray. It was
the break that brought dependency
to the Braves and the will to win to
the Hi-Liners.
Valley City brought boos and
groans from the crowd as they stood
deep in their territory for seconds at
. time without passing the ball.
They exhibited a clever stallinr
game that Mandan failed to break
up.
Driving in to smear Shrum, Berg
erson and Stenshoel as they dallicd
with the leather, the Mandan for
wards allowed Olson to break away
on twisting dribble that carried
him under the Mandan net for a
setup.
Stenshoel repeated few minutes
later for the final counter of the
game, the score standing at 10 to Is.
AS the timekeepers' clock licked
off the fatal seconds, Seitz missed
his third free throw and the rest Of
the Brave cohorts found the Valley
City hoop an elusive ring of iron,
their frantic bombardment failing to
even touch the net.
Seitz and Mcdonald proved to be
the strongest performers on Coach
Leonard McMahan's quint both on
the offense and defense and Morris
gave q good account as standing
guard.
Valley City's players were on q
par, their unity in defense and Of.

lard parlors and the Patterson hotel
it was announced by the mysterious
promoter today.
Five hundred seats will be the
capacity, the anonymous sportsman
said, and he stated from casual OBJ
servations about the sportways of
the city that the house is likely to
be sellout.
There arc no boys Of ipterna-
tional, national or even northwest
fame on my card, aside from Jimmy
Dugan, the Bismarck puncher, and
Joe Wicks, the Glendive hell-cat,
but can promise the ringworms an
evening of fistic entertainment that
Tex Richard would be envious Of"
the quiet little gentleman Of the
telephone said.
The sports editor of The Bismarck
Tribune is considerably intrigued
over the identity of the mysterious
promoter. When the unknown first
called by telephone to announce the
card last Thursday, we figured that
the stranger would reveal his iden-
tity before the card was staged.
Today we learn by wire that he
will keep his secret.
Benefit Cards Possible
Further-"If ! find that the Bis
marck fans approve of my efforts
to give them simon pure cauliflower
entertainment, intend to stage at
least three benefit boxing cards in
the next three months" the business
like voice declared.
"Bismarck's championship base
ball team should have little nest
EGG to start out their 1928 season,
the boys of Company A can use a
few extra dollars, and a charity
show will not 60 amiss," he said.
"And finding that my efforts are
stamped with approval, ] will bring
the outstanding amateur fighters of
Minot, Grand Forks and Fargo to the
Capital City for an amateur elm
ination tournament for the cham
pionship in various divisions" he
stated.
Staging of an amateur elimina-
ton tournament in Bismarck for the
boxing boys of North Dakota is
something that has never been tried
before in North Dakota. Jack Hur-
ley, the Fargo sportsman, attempted
it two years ago but never finished
his series Of elimination bouts.
Furnishes Olympic Chance
Such a fistic tourney would bring
thousands of dollars and much ex-
cellent publicity to the Missouri
Slope.
It would also furnish North Da-
kota boys who aspire to any of the
boxing teams that the United States
will send to the Olympics at Amster-
dam this summer, an opportunity to |
test their wares and gain recogni-
ton as candidates for the Yankee |
team.
"Of course, I have greater ambi-
tons along the fisticuffing highway |
but first, l must analyze the sport
ing blood of the Missouri Slope to |
determine whether they agree with
me-" our ambitious knight of the
wire concluded.
Boxers on Fridays program, are
stepping through their PAGES daily
and will be in fine fettle for the
bill, according to the sponsor.
