DUGAN ALWAYS READY
Lee Cavanagh, the Montana
Slasher, Has Decision Over
Clyde Hull

By J.C. MacCre9or

Three bona fide members Of the
Fistiana in North Dakota have au-
tomatically projected themselves as
possible performers on the extra
ordinary fistic entertainment" card
that is being planned for the Mis-
souri, Slope by The Mysterious Pro-
moter.
Following the announcement in
Mondays Tribune that a fight bill
was being considered during the
next month by Bismarck's unknown
boxing sponsor, three boys of the
sock-and-rock league swooped down
on the sports editor and demanded
to know if they were being consid-
cred for the card.
Jimmie Dugan, Bismarck's rising
middleweight, Paul Sides, former
Bismarck boy, now Of Aberdeen, S.
D., and Lee Cavanagh, the Mon
tant Slasher. were the triumvirate
that swarlned into our sanctum.
Not having had any announce
ment as to the boys being consider.
ed by The Mysterious Promoter, we
gave disappointing answer.
Demand Consideration
Our inquiring trio were emphatic
in their demands that we inform
The Mysterious Promoter that they
had earned q right to display their
wares before the Slope fight Glen
tele.
Says Mr.. Dugan-"I have been
scrapping for four years; ! have
been in the pink for four months;
I licked Joe Wicks here two weeks
ago and can lick any boy my
weight in North Dakota. You can't
leave me off the card"
Paul Sides who stopped in the
Capital City en- route to Aberdeen
after sending zoe Wicks, the Glen
dive Hell-cat, into = deep ,leep in the
fourth round Of q 1O-round 60 the
other night, stated that he was in
the best shape Of his career and
would climb into the Bismarck ring
against any good lightweight that
The Mysterious Promoter could dig
up.
Cavanagh Beat Hull
Lee Cavanagh, the Montana
Slasher, is from Billings. He has
been working in Bismarck for the
past two weeks, having made his
bow before local fight fans at the
amateur card in the Rex Theatre
two weeks ago.
Cavanagh weighs around 1875
pounds and has established quite q
record in northwest rings as well q
in Chicago and Buffalo. His CHIEF
claim to fame is q 10-round decision
over Clyde Hull, the sensational
South Dakota msuler. who jumped
when he slapped Pete Latxo, weller
weight champion, into unconscious
ness in Texas some IS months ago
So far The Mysterious Promoter
has not signified his intention o.
using any Of the ambitious scrap

HAHN TUNES UP

ica's efforts to retain the track and

home town of Falls City, Neb.. and
may end at the finish line of the 800
or 1000 meter event or both at Am.

Trained Carefully
After his spectacular performances
Of last winter, Hahn retired to his
Nebraska home to await the coming
OF the present indoor season. There
ne contented himself with keeping in
condition. With the coming Of cold
weather he turned east and after
tuning up for q few weeks in Boston
announced himself re ady for q fair.

II Hahn can beat off the younger
generation Of American challeneers
and regain his Olympic berth. he
hopes to do considerably better in the
games at Amsterdam than he did at
Paris in 1924. In the 1900 meter
event there which Nurmi won Hahn
could finish no better than sixth.
Nurmi was then at the top Of his
career, winning four first places.
Hahn, on the other hand, has come
q long way since then, making his
greatest achievements indoors. In
1875 he surpassed Nurmi's indoor
record for mile in race in New
York, set worlds record Of 3:55 4-5

IN which he came within q fifth of a
second Of the worlds record.
Best on Boards
II the Olympic events were run on
boards, Hahn probably could make
any of the Europeans step, including
Peltzer at hiss own favorite distance
Of a half-mile and Nurmi at 1900
| meters.
Should Hahn come up to expecta-
tions outdoors, there is strong pos
sibility he might be given double
duty in the 800 and 1900 meter
events with the probable task of
beating Peltzer in the one and Nurmi
in the other. These events have been
favorite double-up in Olympic his
tory. Mel Sheppard, now engaged in
efforts to produce American distance
runners who can beat the Firms,
achieved victories in both in 1908.

SIX ToSSERS
REACH MARK
by BILLY EVANS

Winning ~ or more victories IN
the majors, with the lively ball now
in use and the short fences that sur
round a number Of the parks, con-
tinucs to be a mighty difficult feat.
In the two major leagues in 1926,
just six pitchers were able to reach
the 20 or better figure in games
won. Four Of these pitchers worked
in the National two in the Amer
lean.
No National League pitcher was
able to win more than 20 games.
Kyener, Rhelu, Donohue and Mead
ows just reached that mark.
Uhle, Pcnnock, Win
The two American League pitch.
crs to shine were Uhlc Of Cleveland
with q battles to his credit, and
Pcnnock, who registered % tri-
umphs.
Last year the number Of twirlers
to reach the coveted figure in the
majors was increased by one over
the preceding season. Once again
the National offered four such stars
while the American had three.
A striking coincidence about the
hurting records of these two years
is the fact that not one Of the six
to 20 20 or better games in 1926 was
able to repeat last season. Pennock
and Meadows fell just one short Of
the charmed number, while kremer,
out for q couple Of months with :
bad knee, was two games away.
Root Set Mark
In the National League averages
for 1927, we find Root Of Chicago
with the most victories, 26; likewise,
he lost the most games OF the four
outstanding pitchers in the senior
organization. as Is defeats were
charged to him.
Haines Of St. Louis, with "a wins
and only 10 defeats, finished with
the best average, followed by Alex.
ander, with 81 wins and 10 losses
and Hill with % victories against II
revcrses.
The American League data show.
Waite Hoyt as the pitching ace o.
that organization with % wins ant
only seven defeatc. Lefty" Grow,
finished second with 20 and IL
while Lyons was third with 22-14.
Grove Is Left.hanced
It will be noted that of the sever
leading pitchers Of the two leagues
men able to win 20 or more bal
games, only Grove Of the Philadel
phia Athletics is q left-hander.
Difficulty in holding q working
margin Of one or two run lead. i
what makes pitching such q trying
job these days, and the winning o
20 ball games so difficult q task.
Major league pitchers never con
slider a game reasonably safe unles
they have Z five-run lead. A mar
gin of four runs or less is Away
considered dangerous.
Often it is an easy matter to I'll
the bases. It can be done througl
an error, . hit and q base on balls
or various other ways. in . jiffy IN
then looms the danger of q home rul
that will tie four-run lead and wip
out lesser advantage. Home runs
you know, are no longer uncommon
All of which may partly explai,
why pitching is considered at leas
IS per cent Of the average bal
game.

of the principals sitting out a num-
Dor.
From Los Angeles yesterday Jack
Dempsey served notice he would not
be in shape for a titular tiff until
next September, which is partially
caused by an injury to the right

The principals Of this series arc
Jack Delaney and Tom Heeney, who
tussle on March l, and Jack Sharkey
and Johnny Risko. who battle on
March IL. Now that Dempsey has
declared he will not box until next
September, the winner Of the east
ern tournament will be sure to fight
Tunney, Chapman said.
Previously Richard had men.
toned that he might pit the ELM
ination winner against DEMPSEY IN
the event there were indications OF
further eliminating events to take
placs in Madison Square Garden
some time in April. All OF the
bouts will be over the 15-round dis
lance.
Must Sign For IS Rounds
When Richard started his first
elimination. bringing together Shar.
key and Heeney, the bout was Il

later regretted. The bout ended II
