Fortunate Last Year
"The Yanks were fortunate last
year in having several clubs expert

a difficult task to overcome.
"My club made part of this good
break by beating both Washington
and Philadelphia five out of the first
six games with each club.
"That rather unexpected showing
by the Yanks put the two clubs, fav-
ored to win the pennant, on an early
defensive. It gave my team the very
thing it needed, confidence and in

Ignite Industry Is
Constantly Growing

Proof that the Ignite industry Of
North Dakota is growing constantly
is contained i'm the record of ship
ments Of Ignite coal compiled by the
state railroad board.
During the seven weeks pcriod
from January to February -, this
year, 25,9S9 tons of Ignite were ship
ped to points outside the state and
228,3i6 tons were shipped TO North
Dakota points.
For the same period last year 2O,-
AIS tons were shipped to outside
points and III, 400 tons to North Da-
kota points, this despite the fact
that 1926 was banner year in lig-
mite coal production.

Experiences of Burleigh
County Farmers in Raising
Alfalfa and Sweet CZOuer

Editors Note-This is the
I sixth of series of articles about
| Burleigh county farmers who
have been successful in raising
sweet clover and alfalfa. All
| facts used are furnished by
| County Agent A. r. Miesen.)
Ed. Nygaard of Driscoll is a firm
believer in alfalfa and sweet clover
and declares that it pays to grow
them. He proves his statement by
pointing to the successes he has had
! with the crops.
Mr.. Nygaard started planting al.
falfa in 1928, when he seeded IA
acres, using barley nurse crop and
getting 35 bushels an acre. He har.
| rowed once and seeded with a grass
: seeder attachment on the drill, but
broadcast the alfalfa. He dragged
/, the ground once and then packed with
cultipacker, seeding five pounds
| per acre.
In 1924, Mr.. Nygaard cut IS to "a

protection. In 1925, he narrowed TIE

that he could have cut a fine crop OF
| is expected to be active during 1927.
/, An urgent demand for calves prob
ably will continue through the year.
Slaughter cattle prices during the
| first six months of 1927 are expected
to average higher than during the
corresponding period in 1926. Stock
err and feeder prices are expected to
equal the relatively high averages
of the first half of 1926 despite the
fact that at the beginning of 1927
they were somewhat lower than a
year earlier. This probability will
be materially increased If spring
opens early and there is reasonable
promise Of abundant grass in pasture
and range areas.
Somewhat higher slaughter cattle
prices are anticipated in the fall of
1927 than in 1926. Stocker and feed
CIR prices should average somewhat
higher than in the fall of 1926 with
heavyweight feeders showing the
greater proportional advance. On the
whole, cattle prices in 1927 should
continue their upward swing in the
price cycle which began in 1922.

FRANkLIN'S VICTORY
PLEASES FIGHT FANS

today they have seen a coming middle
weight champion in action. CHANGING

Billy Franklin Of New York last night

over Willie Ptomey. all-Service md
dleweight title holder, the more than

Franklin a potential king OF his class.
F'ranklin's margin of superiority
was not as wide as the canyon of the
Colorado. but it was wide enough TO
make it a popular decision when Ref
cree Conray raised the hand of the
New York battler.
Harry Groves of Mohawk Club and
Sylvan Bass of Baltimore fought a
siX-round semi-final to a draw. Neither
man was any too willing to mix.

the fourth round, came back to win a
clear decision over the rugged Joe

When the stance is correctly taken,
with the ball off the left instep, the
ball will appear to be altogether too
far out front if the player has un-
consciously been playing it well
back. A very good method for get
ting acquainted with the correct re-
lation of the ball to the body in the
correct stance is this: Put down a
ball where YOU can have 1t on Inc
with the left foot. You can make a
line on the ground or use the boluer
line of rug. Then place your left
foot 50 this line runs across your m
step. Now put the ball out on the
line and take your stance.
You will now observe that the lett
arm runs about parallel with the
left leg. as it should. Also, with a
square stance, YOU will hardly be
able to see the face of the club back
of the ball.
Getting trued up on a detail lillS
this might make a lot of difference
in your play.

over to New York for the benefit

Yet the attendance was so scanty
that the A. A. T.. lost $4,000 in run
ming the feature and the cathedral
fund. of course. received nothing
other than publicity.
On the other hand. as already said.
not an indoor meet is held in this
district which does not draw
bumper crowd. A few years ago at
a national indoor meet at the old
Madison Square Garden a blizzard
set in the previous night and ragged
all next day Surface cars did not
run. the elevated lines were crippled
and vehicuIar traffic was at stand
still. Yet that evening there was not
even standing room in the garden. 1t
is all very perpleXing.
No Public Interest.
Officials of the \. A. L. explain the
situation on the ground that Tor
some psychological reason indoor
games have caught the public and out
door games have lost their pull. They
are inclined to let it go at that. adding,
however, that perhaps the fact that
indoors the enthusiasts are muCh
nearer to the performers may be
partial explanation
1t is quite possible that If there
were arenas in New York which could

situation would improve. But aside
from the two ball parks with their
prohibitivc rental and the Brooklyn
Athletic Field. no grounds are avail
able. The Brooklyn field is out of the
question because it is owned by the
city and there is a strict rule against
charging admission to events held
there.
The old Celtic Park, owned by the
Irish American. Athletic Club. where
not so many years ago from 10000 to
Is 900 spectators would gather to
witness Sunday track and field meets,
is now used for soccer and Gaelic foot
ball: the track has gone to seed and
the Irish A. G. is no longer interested
in the development or conduct of the
sport.
The situation is bad because world
beating athletes are developed out
doors, not indoors.
