u SPORTS q
ATHLETICS ARE
GIVEN EDGE IN
PENNANT RACE
Sport Writers Dope Mackmen
to Lead Procession
Yankees Also Favored

New York, April tP)-Connic
Mack's Athletics will dominate the
American League pennant race this
year if the combined conv lotions of
baseball writer's throughout the ma
ior circuits are borne out.
ine coIoriul array of stars headed
by Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Zach
Wheat has SO far caught the fancy of
the experts that % out of 43, whose
selections have been compiled by the
Associated Press, pick the Mackmen
to lead the pennant parade. len
other writers think the Ath will
finish second while only four drop
them as low as either third or fourth.
The New York Yankees, 1926 cham
pions. are regarded as the Athletics
strongest rivals by the observers who
have followed spring fortunes with
experienced eyes. Detroit, Cleveland
and Washington are punched in close
order as the remaining contenders IN
what the experts figure will be Il
five-c club battle for major honors.
Yankees Also Favored
The Yankees are favored to repeat
by nine critics. Three pick the Zig
ers to batter their way to the top of
the heap while one vote each is cast
for the prospects of the Indians and
Senator's.
The strongest tribute of all to the
prospects 70 the Athict is tender
cd by the New York writers, among
whom IL out of Is select the Mack
men to replace the home town Yam
KEGS at the peak. Writers in every
city except Washington cast their
ballots for the Mackmcn although a
note of skeptcism was sounded by
one Chicago expert, who suggested
that the Athletics either are carry
ing too much weight for age or too
much age for weight"
None of the experts regard the
White SOX, Browns OF Red Sox as
serious factors. The White SoX.
with one sixth place ballot are the
only club of the three to break into
first division ranking list.

FARM LOAN
APPLICATIONS
ARE APPROVED
Loans Total Over $500, 600
Board Preparing to Lease
Islands in River

Farm loans totaling over $20O,0OO
have been approved by the state
board of university and school lands
here. The number of applications
approved was ITO. Numerous other
applications were rejected or held up
pending further information.
The board now has on hand ap-
proximately $1,50O,000 from collcc-
tons made during the fall and win
ter. All Of this money, however, will
be needed for farm loans and pur-
chascs of school bond issues which
already have been approved by the
board.
Acting under the provisions Of a
new law passed at the last session of
the legislature, Carl r. Kositzky,
state land commissioner, has leased
an island in the Missouri river near
Shafer, Mckenzie county. The island
contains about 200 acres and will be
used by the lessor for pasture pur.
poses this summer. It is covered
with fine stand of sweet clover,
Kositzky said, and its banks are suf-
ficiently high that it is never over
flowed except when an ice-gorge &C.
ours in the river, Kositzky said.
State Gets Title
The new law definitely gives the
state title to islands formed in
navigable streams and was intended
to apply to some Ia islands in the
Missouri river. It will be impossible
to lease some Of the islands, Ko-
sticky said, because they are too diff
ficult to reach. The lessor of the
island near Shafcr estimated that it
would cost him $25 to transport his
cattle to the island for the summer.
Surveys of the various islands are
being made to determine their acre
age and correct description and as
soon as this work is completed they
will be offered for lease, Kositzky
said. A law suit now is pending to
determine who owns an island near
Washburn, one of the largest in the
river. Several persons are contest
ing the states claim to ownership,
kositzky said.
