SCHOOL GROUNDS

Five acres or more of land for
elementary schools and 10 acres or
more for high schools, junior or
senior, have been acquired by
several large cities in California,
Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Minne-
sofa, Ohio, North Carolina, Penn
sylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, as
announced by the National Confer
ence on City Planning through the
Playground and Recreation Associ-
alton of America. Sixty cities re-
port definite policy of providing 5
or more acres for elementary
schools. Small cities where unim-
proved ground is available at rea-
sonable prices, make a better show
ing, and so cities of $4,000 to 1885,
900 population report the acquisit-
ion of acres or more for school
sites since 1915. Cost of land for
schools in small cities ranged from
$500 to $4,000, and in some instances
to as high as $4,000 per acre. In
Chicago as much as $4,000 per acre
was paid.

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-08-06

In order to make good the predic-
tion of Manager Higgins that his
club had great chance to win 100
games, the Yanks need only capture
'27 of the remaining "a games. In
other words, the club needs only to
play 800 ball to reach the century
mark in victories.
In order to break the American
League record of los games, estabJ
lished Is years ago by the pennant-
winning Boston Red Sox, New York
would have to win only 81 games
while losing 22, considerably below
the early season average of the club.
There is remote change that New
York may top the major league rec
ord of li6 victories made by the Chi
cago CubsAin .906. The Cubs that
year made a runaway race of it in
the National League and were ton
heavy favorites to win tie world
championship, yet were beaten. by
the Chicago White Sox, then knowa
as the "Hitless Wonders
To break the major league record
for victories over the 154 game
schedule it would be necessary for
the Yanks to win 43 of the remaining
"a games to be plyacd. This would
call for 800 baseball, which is better
than the record Of the New York club
to date.
While there is some doubt as to
the ability Of the New York club to
win 116 games or more. | feel that
Manager Higgins will make good on
his prediction of 100 victories for the
Yanks in the winning Of the 1927
pennant.
The success of the New York club
in coming back last year. after drop
ping to seventh place, after winning
three championships in row in the
| American League, is a tribute to the
managerial judgment Of the Yankee
pilot.
When the Yanks slipped to lowly
! position in the second division, Hug
gins decided that it was time to re-
build and set about to complete his
| task. His success is best attested to
| by the Yankee victory in 1926 and
| the almost certainty that he will re-
! peat this year.
The extraordinary showing the
New York Americans have made this
I years is all the more remarkable
| when it is considered the club has
suffered any number of serious in
juries to its'star players. The Yanks
have refused to slump regardless of
the stars who have been forced out
Of the lineup because of injuries.
There is no getting away from the
fact that the New York Yankees
COMPRISE a formidable ball club, one
of the best in the history Of the ma
jors, and in Miller Higgins as man
ager the club has one of the smart
est leaders in the game.
| There has been but little or no
ballyhoo in connection with the ca
reer of Miller Higgins, yet he has
delivered in most pronounced man
ner as big league pilot.
