Establishing Of
Bird Refugees Is
Government Plan
Norbeck-Andresen Bill, Proyid.
ing So, ooo,o 900 for Pur-
pose, Is Passed

The United States government is
now definitely committed to a policy
Of establishing q system Of inviolate
refugees for the prosecuted wild fowl
and insect-eating birds Of America.
This was indicated a few days ago
when the house passed the Norbeck-
Andersen bird refuge bill.
The measure appropriates $4,000, 900
for the purchase of marsh and
swamp lands for migratory bird
sanctuaries.
This bill passed the senate last
April under the guidance Of Senator
Peter Norbeck, South Dakota, and
until recently 1t reposed In the house
committee on agriculture. It was
generally regarded as hopeless to Sc
cure final action at this short ses-
sion Of congress: furthermore. It was
supposed that the bureau of the
budget would not approve any new
undertaking involving additional ex-
penditures Of public funds.
It is estimated that more than
100000 letters and kilograms sup
porting the bill poured into congress
from all parts Of the United States
during the three weeks immediately
preceding its passage.

Baseball Farming
Said Unsuccessful

Tampa, Fla. Feb. 14.--(P)-The ma
jor league farm system. the prac-
tice of major league clubs buying up
lower class teams, is failure In the
opinion Of Clark Griffith. president
Of the Washington American league
baseball club.
Griffith said he thought the sys-
tenn unfair to the ball players them
selves. 1T encourages the majors to
keep players in the minors who
should have q chance to make good
in top company" the Washington
owner added.
1T prohibits the advancement OF
the players and the club owners are
forced to cover up ball players In
the minors If they make success OF
the farm system. They have to beat
around the bush and cut corners to
do this. In other words, they keep
Just within the law"
Griffith declared his belief that
sooner or later Commissioner Lands
is going to step in and put a stop
to the system"
He said the Senators had paid APP
proximately 3265, 900 for 10 rockies
during the past fall and this winter.
This club has no stock In minor
league clubs.

ing School Victory
PHAMTSAT MERCER TONIGHT
Game Mas Hard Fought and
Interesting Throughout;
Phantom Rally Short

The eagle eye of a guard on long
shots brought u to II victory to
the Mandan Trainers over the Bis
marck Phantoms in their rubber"
game at the Bismarck high school
gymnasium last night.
The guard was Helbling. The rug
ged defense man Gagged four long
goals and two free throws for 10 of
his teams q points. He counted
eight points in the first half. which
ended to 8. thereby keeping his
team at the point where their second
half rally could net them a victory.
Without Helbling in the first half.
the Mandan crowd might have fallen
SO far behind that they could not
have overtaken their capital city
rivals.
Another factor in the Mandan YER
dict was the second half play of
Mike Geston. blonde stalwart. Mike
came through with three field goals
III the second half.
Bismarck lost the game in the
third quarter when they allowed the
Morton county crew to outScore them
10 to 3. The Phantoms outplayed
their opponents to 3 In the first
quarter and 6 to 3 in the last quarter
but slumped at the middle of the
game.
With Mandan behind 6 to 3 at the
beginning Of the second canto, Hclb-
ling brought out his ammunition and
the score was 8 to at the half.
Geston, who had not played well in
the first half. showed some real bas-
ketball in the second half, and his
baskets brought the count to IL to
II for Mandan at the third quarter
The Phantom squirt in the final can
to was not strong enough.
Doc Burdick was the best perform
err OH the floor despite the Mandan
victory. The Phantom forward di-
rected all plays. was a wizard on the
floor. and scored four field goals and
free throw.
The Pl1antoms played a hard game.
but they could not overcome the lead
piled Up by the sharpshooting of
Helbling and Geston.
The Phantoms play the Mercer
independents at Mercer tonight.

Stiff Competition, Injuries,
Studies, and Coaches Big
Obstacles; Churchill, Hamas,
Rothert, HaIicki, and Owens
Have All Reached Mark.
BY BOB MATHERNE

The ambitious young fellows who
enter college with the big idea of
earning letters i'll three or four diff
ferent sports find ono obstacle after
another to thWart their ambitions
these days.
To start with. great majority Of
them get lost in the shuttle Of college
competition. The average high school
athletic hero often goes unheard Of
after becoming collegian.
The edict Of University of Penn
sylvania officials. while not exactly
a new one. will prevent Penn athletes
from participating in more than two
sports after this year. This means
that Penn athletes. like athletes at a
few other colleges, will be limited in
the number of letters they can earn.
The young baseball player who has
major league ambitions often has to
forego other sports for fear of injury.
Baseball and football don't mix, the
professional baseball lmagnates say
and they are not shy about asking
their prospects to lay off. And most
of them do.
Coaches Are Obstacles
The college coaches often prove an
obstacle to the versatile stars ambi-
lions. Many coaches want players to
devote as much time as possible to q
particular sport and, as q result, 1t
means practice in one sport almost
the entire year.
But despite these obstacles, and
others that come up-like studies
there are q number Of young -mell
who have made their marks in three
four and even five sports in recent
years. The two-sport men are espe-
cially numerous.
Tom Churchill Of Oklahoma, Steve
Hamas of Penn State, Harlow Roth
ert Of Stanford, Ed Halicki Of Buck.
nell and Tommy Owens Of Florida ar,

three or more sports. Wesley FeSlel
Of Ohio State stands out as a soplo-
more performer most likely to gel
In the same class.
Churchill has distinguished HIM
self In five sports at Oklahoma. Ii
his freshman year he won the college
wrestling and boxing titles. He played
regularly as sophomore in football

when he succeeded to Tilden's Amer
lean singles title in 1926, but he al
lowed this crcwn to pass to the hands
Of his countryman, Henri Cochet,

are SO well matched that neither ap-

SPORT SLANTS
By ALAN J. GOULD

New York, Feb. 14.-(P)-It will be
a long time, at least decade, before
any tennis player can hope to match
the ranking record of william Tatem
Tilden II.
Reinstated just In time to gain the
No. position on the American list
for the ninth consecutive year, Til
den not only established q new ma
tional mark, but a worlds record as
well. Tennis has produced long
list Of stars from Sears and Rensl1aw,
down through Lawford. the Dohertys,
Brookes, Wilding. Larned. McLough-
lin. and other forerunnerS of the
modern generation, but none can
match this mark of Big Bills. Larned
topped the United States list eight
times altogether, but they were not
consecutive.
Tilden has seen such stars as little
Bill Johnston Dick Williams, and
Norman Brookes fade while he re-
manned at the top Of the American
list. The tall Philadelphian has
watched his oft-held American
singles title 60 to France three years
! IN q row, along with the Davis cup.
He has passed from one stormy cpl
sode to another. tried the stage, the
movies and the typewriter, with some-
what disastrous results, but since
1920 no one has come along to
usurp his place as the No. l man at
home even though some OF the form.
er lustre Is lacking.
Perhaps It has been because the D.
8. L. T. A. desired to make Big Bill q
birthday gift, for he celebrated his
Seth birthday yesterday.

Buick Claims 42@o Of
 Sales in Price Class

Flint, Mich, Nov. 1S-The Buick Motor company now is selling 42 per cent of all the cars in it's price class, c. W. Churchill, general sales manager, has announced following study of reports for the three months ended November 1.
 Tt is extremely gratifying to learn from the most recent reports that public acceptance of the 1880 Buick line of automobiles has not only maintained Bucks position of leadership in the fine car field, but has increased it's sales percentage to 42 per cent of the entire price class" says MT. Churchill.
 Mir. Churchill attributes the in crease in Bucks sales percentage to the unusual popularity of the 1930 models, which has brought into the Buick column many pur- chasers who heretofore have owned and driven other makes, and to the loyalty of those who have been Buick owners.
