I'VE are a cinch to be just as good
or better around the infield, with
100 per cent more punch and 100 per
cent more strength behind the bat"
said Howley.
"Sukeforth is good catcher but
can't stand steady work. Now we
have an experienced, first class
receiver in Clyde Manion, drafted
from Milwaukee, and a hard hitting
hard working, young fellow in Lom-
bardi."
The pitching staff looks doubtful
but Howley insists he isn't worried
about it. Discussing this, he says:
Red Lucas and ST Johnson will be
better than ever. Owen Carroll looks
right to me for the first time in
years. Frey, Benton and Rixey ought
to go we'll. If a boy like Walter Hill
cher can come through the way he
promises to do, the pitching will BE
all set"
Sixth place perhaps is the best the
Reds can hope for but their spirit
as well as prospects, appear SUBJ
stantlally improved.

will be played on the courts of the
state training school gymnasium.
Although the Bismarck contingent
has won two previous contests, the
game is regarded as toss-up. The
Braves, always tartars against the
Demons. have been pointing for the
regional affair as means OF getting
back into state championship play
after an absence of several years.
Both teams are in fine fettle and
are expected to go into action intact.
Schlickenmeyer. suffering from a
sore knee, is the only casualty in
either camp. He was kept out of
play in the recent district tourna-
ment, however, and should be in
shape to do battle with the War

Both Coach George Hays of Bis

Mandan Tuesday were mulling over
possible starting lineups. Neither
was prepared to announce just what
men would get starting berths. 1t
was expected, however, that both
would attempt to present his strong

Coach Hays indicated that morale
of his team was excellent. Any dam

Dodgers Regarded
AS Contender For
Major Loop Title
Brooklyn Closes Gaps in Lineup
Through Trade With
Cincinnati

New York, March 15-(P,-Over-
night the Brooklyn Dodgers seem to
have built themselves into formidable
contenders for the National League
championship.
Their big trade with the Cincinnati
Reds enabled the Dodgers to plug
two gaping holes in the infield with
out sacrifice Of batting power even
though they did part with Cavendish
tBabe) Herman the temperamental
Outfielder, one of the best natural
hitters in the game.
The Robins threw in Wally Gilbert
and Ernesto lombard with Herman
and received from the Reds Tony
Cuccinello, Joe Strip and Clyde
Sukeforth.
Boiled down. the trade amounted
to an exchange of Cuccinello for Her
man. Strip and Gilbert are third
basemen; Sukeforth and lombard
catchers. So it becomes a trade of a
second baseman. Cuccinello, for an
outfielder, Herman.
On the surface that would appear
to be fairly even trade. Herman
fell off to 313 last season and Cue
cinello hit .3l5, but an analysis would
indicate Brooklyn will be helped much
more than Cincinnati.
Manager Max Carey now can put
on an infield that will have Del Bis
sonette at first, Cuccinello at second,
Glenn Wright at shortstop, and Strip
at third. That quartet, granting that
Wright's ankle stands up, seems to
compare with any in the league.
The Dodgers perhaps will miss the
colorful Herman from the outfield
but they previously had added Hack
Wilson, a powerful batsman himself,
and a hitter with a much better runs
batted-in record than Herman. Will
son, then, will fill one outfield post
and Frank Lefty O'Doul another.
The third will probably 60 to either

Ghostmen Get Going in Last
Two Periods to Snow In
der Opposition

After trailing in the second quar-
ter, the Bismarck Phantoms came
back strong in the last two periods to
set aside Arnegard as a champion
ship contender and to annex the re-
gional title in North Dakota hide
pendent basketball play. The Ghost
men won 80 to IL.
Battling along on more or less even
terms during most of the first half,
the Demons got going in the second
half to pick up 10 points while hold
ing the opposition to five.
A powerful defense prevented Arne
gard from getting in close enough to
shoot in the second half. The Phan-
toms controlled the ball most of the
time and were unable to connect with
regularity after their offense got
working.
Arnegard presented an active, hard
working aggregation but man to man
they were not up to the standard of
the Ghostmen.
The work of Geston and Heidi was
outstanding for the locals. Both
played stellar defensive games while
Heidi figured prominently in the at
tack. To Thornberg went scoring
honors of the evening. He popped in
two field goals in the first half and
three in the second in addition to
connecting once from the charity line
to bring his total to IL points.
Johnny Spriggs, who replaced his
brother Eddie at forward, played an
effective game.
The work of Stenebjem at forward
for Arnegard was the bright spot in
the Arnegard offensive.
BY their victory the Phantoms
earned the right to compete for the
North Dakota independent champion
ship at Minot March 18 and 10.
In the preliminaries. the A. o. U. w.

FARMERS MARCH
ON D. c. PLANNED
1000 Expected to Pay Own
Way Here to Appeal for
Relief.

A farmers march," more than 1000
strong, is being recruited in various sec
tions of the country to move on Wash
ington shortly after Congress convenes
in December, it was learned here yes
terday.
The group, it was announced, will
present pleas for immediate relief OF
the farmers.
The farmers march" is to be an
orderly affair, more or less in the form
of a convention, with the participants
paying their way here, their return ex-
penses and supporting themselves while
presenting their pleas for relief at the
White House and the Capitol. The
gathering is TO culminate in the Farm
ers' National Relief Conference, which
Is to gather here from December to
10, to appoint a committee to present
the farmers demands personally at the
White House and the Capitol.
The original estimates of maximum
of 500 farmers attending the confer
ence have been revised in the last few
days SO that now 1000 are expected
to attend.
Their advence agent. a Harvard
graduate and an economist, outlines
their plea generally as demand for a
moratorium on Government and private
debts and taxes as well as other forms
of immediate relief for farmers.
There is no disposition, it is stated
for any program that would have the
farmers camping out in the open or
relying upon charity or governmental
beneficence during their stay in the
CAPITAL.
1t is known that the advance agent
has been in the Capital for several days
ironing out the necessary plans for the
congregation, seeing police and Govern
ment officials. So far, it is stated, he
has been unable to obtain official as
Surance that the farmer "marchers'
will be given the necessary permission
to congregate as they have planned.
The Farmers National Relief Con-
ference, which is the official name
under which the "marchers" are to

IN ELECTION SEEN
Radical Socialist Leaders
Expect Increase in Sem
ate Seats.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, October l5.-Leaders of
Premier Edouard Herriots Radical
Socialist party predicted today that to-
morrow's senatorial elections would
bring an increase in their representa-
ton in the Upper House
The elections will settle Ill Senate
seats Candidates varying in age from
40 to &c are competing for them.
The Upper Chamber has 314 men,
bers, and roughly one-third of this
number is renewed every three years,
the term being nine years. Normally
only 106 contests would take place this
year, but there have been four deaths
and Albert Lebrun resigned from the
Senate to become President.
Electoral Colleges to Vote.
In each of the 80 departments in
which renewals will occur. the voting
will be by small electoral colleges COM
prising at best about 1000 members.
Those entitled to vote are general
councillors. municipal authorities. depu-
ties and other local office holders. An
absolute majority is needed on the first
or second ballot; on the third plural
ity suffices.
Radical Socialists base their conf
dence on the theory that the Leftward
swing which swept Andre Tardieu's S
Right Centrist government out OF power
last May would be repeated. In other
political quarters it was said the cleo
tions would make little difference in the
party standing.
The new Senators will not take office
until Parliament reconvenes the second
week in January At that time each
successful candidate must be at least 40
years old Some aSpirants are just un-
der the age limit now, but will have
passed it when the Senate is assembled.
Two Run at 86 Years of Age.
The list of candidates includes the
two deans of the Senate, MN. Jenou-

and both born in october, 1846, IN the
reign of Louis Philippe, the last King
to rule France.
