Introducing Claude Miller
In case there is some discussion on
that point we may mention the

Claudio, in his palmy high school
days, was named an all-state man
Tor three years in succession on both
the football and basketball teams Of
Fargo high school. He also was a
member Of three track teams that
took the state championship.

CINCINNATI REDS
TO BE- INTRODUCED
AS STANDPATTERS
Hendrick Has Made No Trades,
Contemplates None, and
Has Few Worries

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 1S.-R-
Jack Hendricks is expected to intro
duce his 1927 Reds to the diamond
world in April as the "stand patters
!! Of 1928"
Processing faith in his 1927 crew,
Hendricks has forced the player
swaps intended to strengthen his
adversaries apparently with uncon-
Germ.
Hendrick has made no trades and
at present the surface shows no
ripples that would disturb a repre-
sentation of the lineup which closed
last season.
Luque, Lucas, Kolp and Jablonow-
ski will constitute the "big four" in
the hurting shop. The latter, a
Waterbury,, Conn.,, recruit, showed
prominently in the last of the sea-
son.
Pete Donohuc is expected to re-
turn to form after bad season due
to illness and jake May, who
pitches either Every good" or Every
bad" is slated for improvement Of
his weaker nature.
Eppa Rixey may be all but out Of
the game. Being a veteran in serv-
ice puts him near retirement and he
was weakened this winter by long
illness. He may see relief duty late
in the season. Jim Edwards q Sc
attic importation, is said to hold
promise and two youngsters, Ken
meth Ashe, of the South Atlantic
league and Aloysius Sweeney, of
Orlando, are new pitching blood.
Hendricks main concern is how to
arrange an already excellent out
field with two as good or better on
the bench. Bressler, left, Allen,
center, Walker, right, and Zitsman,
utility, compose the Surveyed,
heavy-hitting regulars.
Straining at the halters is the
youth. Purdy, whose smuggling and
sure fielding in the center garden
was the sensation Of last seasons
closing Red games. Right behind
him is another youngster, Marty
Callahan, formerly of the Cubs and
said to be Purdy's equal.
Sukeforth will carry first catcher
honors, with Picinich q second in
command of the plate, while Har-
grave and his batting eye will be
cast in more Of saviour-of- the-day
role. All of the ruckus of last sea-
son over Hargrave's alleged slow
ness behind the plate has been
weathered by the veseran. Hen
bricks counters that catchers are
naturally slow because Of the
cramped position they must hold be.
hind the plate, and Hargraves still
swings an emergency club.
Kelly and Pipp will again alter
nate on the initial sack. Hughie
Critz is on the dotted line for the
keystone bag and will have no hold
out act to stage this year. Ford will
again be in the short field with Pitt
ner in reserve and Dresser undis-
putedly corners the third bag. r.
Emmett Mccain, taken from Colum-
bus, will understudy Critz.

BOXING BILLED
FOR BISMARCK
Five Amateur Fights Feature
First Boxing Attraction
of New Year
OFFER EXCELLENT CARD
Bismarck and Mandan Young.
sters Predominate-One
Indian Matched
OFFER EXCELLENT CARL

The feature for the mitt card will
be the fact that there will be only
one professional fight. That will be
between Jimmie Dugan, Bismarck's
premier fisticuffer, and an opponent
whose name will be announced Sat-
urday. They will go 10 rounds.
In the six round semiwindup, Bat
Ting Nelson, Capital City middle
weight, will meet Chief Stearns, a
rough and tumble Indian mauler
from Mobridge, S ID.
Fargo Boy Billed
Young Petrolle Of Fargo, q young
ster who learned the rudiments Of
the ring game in Jack Hurley's
gymnasium, has been matched with
Matt Hummel, Bismarck. They are
junior lightweights and will travel
| six rounds.
Mandan fans will back Ruby Nc
Donald, clever lightweight, who has
been begging for a chance to climb
into the same ring with .Tommie
Burns of Bismarck. They will battle
four rounds.
The second bout of the evening
will be between Jackie Gray of Bis
marck and Billy Miska of Mandan.
Both boys are featherweights and
will try for knockout in four
rounds.
The curtain raiser which has been
scheduled for $3.50 p. m. has not been
arranged and the promoters are
seeking two representatives Of the
United States army who have scores
to settle.
All Boxers Conditioned
All of the boxers who are to an.
pear on the program have been
training for the past two months
and at least six of the principals
were to have appeared in prelim-
mary bouts to the McCann.Alexan-
der fight before Christmas which
was called off in the face Of bliz-
zard that blocked roads forcing
heavy seat cancellations.
Jimmie Dugan has been spelling
for fight for the past three months
with the good boys in this neck of
the woods but weather conditions
and cancelled fight cards have pre-
vented the realization Of his pugilis-
tic hopes.
The Capital City boy said today
that he has trained so conscientious
ly during the past two months that
he is lighter now than he has been
in the past year and whoever he
faces will have to be heavy weller
or light middleweight as he can step
into the ring at 148 pounds.
Most Attractive Card
The first fight card of the new
year in either Bismarck or Mandan
is one Of the most attractive bills
that has been arranged here in
many moons and the fact that it is
featured by amateur bouts almost
exclusively promises the fans an
evening Of clouting and mauling' q
only amateurs can produce.
Ring technique of the high class
order will probably be at minimum
but fight of the cauliflower garden
type will be a-plenty.
Fight fans Of the Missouri Slope
have been using their vocal chords
vociferously during the winter de.
handing that some outlet for their
feelings be furnished with q rous-
ing boxing card preferred. It seems
that their prayers will be answered,
