PASSING GAME
IS SUPERIOR
Jimmy Kittss Hornets De-
clared Greatest Quint
Ever Assembled

CHICAGO, April 8.-(P)-A team
Of young Giants from Athens, Tex
as, with a distinctly futuristic style
of play, today held the most cher
ished prize of high school basket
ball., the National InterscholaStic
championship.
The title fell to the Texans Sat-
urday night as they capped a spec
| tacular weeks campaign in the Uni
versity of Chicago's eleventh annual
tournament by a Is TO q decision
over Classen, a fast, scrappy team
from Oklahoma City.
Coaches and critics Of basketball,
who watched the Athens march to
the crown, were interested in its
style Of play, which they termed flu
turistic in pattern. Averaging ap-
proXimately six feet two inches
each, the Texans played a peculiar
overhead game, which none OF their
opponents could solve.
This game with its high passes
| aimed at leaping mates is difficult,
and the percentage of errors is high.
For that reason, the champions were
superior throughout extensively. Too,
they covered rebounds off their OPP
ponents' basket with haWklike ten
acity, tipping many Of them back
for field goals. On defense, too, they
excelled. Their weight gave them
| several more chances at being fouled
and consequently more, free throws,
while they employed three or four
men for defensive purposes around
their own goal.
Third place in the tournament,
| which attracted 40 teams from 80
states, went to the most picturesque
team in the competition, Joes, Colo
RADIO. This team from a mountain
| village of so persons was showed out
of the championship running by
Classen high in the semi-finalS, but
came back to win third place by de-
feating Jackson, Michigan, 81 to 2,
after making a brilliant rally in the
act neri0d

BASS THRIVE In
VALLEY WATERS
Finny Tribe Put In Olmito
Hatchery Grow to Large
Sizes

The black bass thrive in Valley
waters has been proved by the
growth of members of the finny
tribe at the Olmito hatchery, r. G..
Haynes, manager Of the hatchery,
states.
A large number of black bass
weighing from six to eight and 4
half pounds were revealed at the
hatchery recently when fish were
transferred from one pond to an
other. These fish were put in the
hatchery about a year ago and
their growth has been rapid.
Stocking Of the Valley fresh
waters with these fish will be be-
gun next fall and Haynes believes
that within a year thereafter VAL
ley resacas and other bodies Of
water should offer bass fishing on
a par with almost any other sec
ton Of the country.
Due to the large amount Of bugs.
worms and vegetation in this Sec
ton the bass are well fed. One
drawback to the war; waters and
abundant food, however, may be
that the bass here will not have
quite as much fight as those from
colder streams. The Valley reSacas
are expected to draw as many fish
ermen as the gulf within the next
two years.
Haynes says if the sportsmen will
allow the fish to gain proper foot
hold after the streams are stocked,
he feels certain there will soon be
ample game fishing for all. All
that is necessary to do this is to
abide by the law in this regard, he
says. The law protects black bass
under II inches and white perch
under seven inches.
Mounted heads Of some Of the
black bass from the Olmito hatch
cry are now on display at Batsell-
Wells sporting goods store.
The government will stock any
fresh water stream found suitable
for the fish free Of charge.

TT. MYERS. Fla, April A.
From the squad Of players work
ing out these days under the ban
ner Of the Philadelphia Athletics,
a football team Of nea All-Amert-
can strength might well be organ
lied V e night. And included in
the IL men selected would be Bill
Breckenridge, late Of Dartmouth.
Although Breckenridge quit col
1ege at the close Of his sophomore
year-wcn over by the lure Of pro-
fessional baseball-he had won at
tention through the east for his
grid activities.
But this is about Breckenridge,
the baseball player, so to that
angle Of it first.
The Athletics and st. Louis
Cardinals. champions Of the Ma
tional league last year, hooked up
in the first Of the seasons exhibi-
ton games in the Florida training
camp region. Breckenridge pitch
ed part Of the game for the Ath-
Ietics. and acquitted himself in
cyeditabIe fashion in the box. In
addition to this he cracked out a
ringing triple in a vain effort to
start a rally that would overcome
the two-run lead Of the Cardinal
crew.
That triple brought back the
memory Of another game to the
young pitcher-a game that pre-
vented him hanging UP a perfect
record in his final year as hurler
for the Big Green team at Han
over.
Breckenridge won nine and lost
one game for Dartmouth last year
That one defeat wasn't at the
hands Of a college team.
Dartmouth journeyed to Guam

rines. Dartmouth took the lead
early in the game and held it. The
score was 4 to 2 III Dartmouth's
favor as they went into the last
couple Of innings. Then two errors
by the Dartmouth infield put two
Of the Marines on base.
Up came a big left-handed hit

laws Of baseball, are due to hit
toward right field. The Dartmouth
outfield shifted toward that gar
den to be set for him.
Breckenridge had him two strikes
and no balls when the third pitch
went a bit wide. The jolly marine
swung in desperation, caught the
ball on the very tip Of his bat and
drove a ~screeching liner down the
third base line, past the left fielder
tearing frantically toward the foul
line to field it, and to the fence.
The batter romped home standing

ahead Of him. Final score, ) to 4,

Breckenridge played end on the
Dartmouth football team. Eastern

that he was one Of the best IL

at least.

NEW YORK, April 4.-(P)-Fans
at college baseball games 0 may
| see several men Of middle age
watching the young athletes per-
form. They are scouts.
Every major league baseball club
has from one to half a dozen scouts
who ride the "rattlers' all summer
long, looking at baseball players
on semi-pro teams and in minor
leagues. Before the summer base
ball starts the scouts attend college
games.
Not that we expect to get any
big roundup OF players from the
| colleges" said one Of the old scouts,
but looking at the collegians will
get us in shape for the long grind
when the weather gets hot"
you hear people talk about COL
lege ball players in the major
leagues and they name a long list.
40 or so or more. They 7 not
college. players, Rather they were
minor league players. They went
to college but after a trial by the
majors they were sent out, or may
be they went first to a minor league
club and then came up.
Il haven't counted 'em, but I'll
bet there are not more than a dozen
players in the two big leagues who
went to major clubs from college
and have been IN the majors ever
since"
The old scout was not far wrong.
Cy Williams OF the Phillies joined
the Chicago Cubs in 1912, fresh
from Notre Dame, and has been
around ever since. George Sisler
went to the st. Louis Browns from
Michigan in 1915, and two years la

Spencer Harris is one of those
fast moving, shifty little outfielderS
who specializes in sharing drives
that would escape a lot Of fly shay
gers.
Harris, who came to the Sena-
tors from Minneapolis, also had a
reputation as a slugger in the Amer
lean association. He batted 1927 and
hit 80 home runs to lead the league.
Many Of his homers were a bit syn
thetic since they went over the
MilIers' short right field fence
which is a perfect target for a left
handed hitter. But the Al doubles
he made to lead the league were
honest doubles.
Harris IS n years old. Is 5 feet,
10 inches tall. weighs $50 pounds
and throws and bats left handed.

TOOLE COUNTY FAIR BOARD
MEET WITH COMMISSIONERS

The Toole County Fair Board met
With the county commissioners on May
9Th, and discussed how the fair appro-
priations should be utilized.
It was decided that the money set
aside by the commissioners for a
county fair should be used primarily
as premiums rather than constructing
permanent fair buildings.
BY using buildings now available
and augumenting these with tents it
vas thought the exhibits could be
satisfactorily housed. This would
permit the discontinuance Of the fair
any year without the loss Of money
invested in buildings.
Representatives Of the fair board
expect to make visit to Chinook and
Fort Benton soon to get some flrst
hand information on how to run a
county fair.
