NEW YORK, April 9.-Connie
Mack's Athletics will dominate the
American League pennant race this
year IL the combined convictions OF
base ball writer's throughout the
major circuits are borne out.
The coiorful array of stars headed
by Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Zach
Wheat has 80 far caught the fancy OF
the experts that % out Of 4S. whose
selections have been compiled by the
Associated Press, pick the Mackmen
to lead the pennant parade. Ihen
other writer's think the Athletics VIII
finish second, while only four drop
them as low as either third or fourth.
The New York Yankees, 1926
champions, are regarded as the
Athletics strongest rivals by the CD
servers who have followed Spring ior-
tunes with experienced eyes. Detroit,
Cleveland and Washington are
punched in close order as the remain
ing contenders in what the experts
6cura win be q five.club battle for
major honors.
Three Pick the Tigers.
The Yankees ere favored to repeat
nv nine critics. Three pick the T'gers
to batter their way to the top Of the
heap. while one vote each is cas-, for
the prospects of the Indians ana
Senators.
The strongest tribute of all to the
prospects of the Athletics is rendered
hy the New York writer's, among
whom II out of Is select the Mack
men to replace the hometown
Yankees at the peak. Writers in
every city except Washington cast
their ballots for the Mackmen, al
though n note of skepticism was
sounded by one Chicago expert, who
suggested that the Athletics either
are carrying too much weight for
age or too much age for weight"

California fans believed the loss of

would hurt the Huskies' chances and
that the Huskies' morale would be
shaken somewhat by the fact that
members Of all three boat crews, the

more winning foot ball teams than

Incidentally, Yost is splendid
fellow, one well liked by everybody

Until late in the afternoon sinister
planetary influences tomorrow Will be
strong. according to astrology. Un-
der this sway, there may be an in
clination to look on the darker side of
life, and for this reason an attitude
of positive optimism should be as
sumed.
Gossip and gloomy predictions may
be widely disseminated through press
and personal contact. while this iule
prevails, but the seers declare that
for the United States great progress
and prosperity appear to be presaged
by the stars.
Intrigue and deceit may be en-
couraged by this planetary govern
ment, which affects organizations as
we'll as individuals.
The habit of truthfulness should be
cultivated, alike by young end old, in
asmuch as the aspects appear to
stimulate double-dealing OF many
sorts.
This Is not an auspicious direction
of the stars for lovers and domestic
peace may be disturbed unless sinis-
ter and subtle influences are firmly
combated.
Again migrations of population in
the United States are foretold. Flor
ida now comes under a sway that
promises much prosperity.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is
should pass a quiet year. 1t will be
luckier to sell than to buy securities.

will be talented and exceedingly en-
ergetic. They may acquire not only
