BISMARCK TRACK
and TENNIS MEN
IN GRAND FORKS
Second Team Will Go to Dick
inson Saturday; Mandan
Not Represented

Sixteen Bismarck High athletes to-
day are limbering up in Grand Forks
preparatory to the annual state
track and field championship trials
which begin tomorrow and the
tennis title trials beginning today
while seven other cinder men in
Bismarck are preparing to leave for
Dickinson where the annual western
North Dakota track and field meet
will be held Saturday.
Coach Roy d. Mcleod took the
following squad Of track men to
Grand Forks: Captain Ben Jacob
son. Hank Brown, Ernest Benser,
Sell. Ward, Ed Spriggs, Green,
Davis. Jacobson, Roberts, Meinhover
and York. Ward is the only addi-
ton to the team. the others having
landed in second place at the May
Festival meet In Fargo last week.
Myron Anderson will herd the
second stringers to the Dickinson
meet. The men who will 60 are Fay
Brown, Helgeson, Hoffman, Hult-
berg, Moule, Paris, and John
Spriggs.
Demon entries In the state tennis
finals are John O'Hare, Bob Larson,
Warren Kiesel, Ivan Bigler and La
mont Hoskins. Each man will enter
the singles while Larson and O'Hare
and Kiesel and Bigler will team for
the doubles play.
Mandan high school has not en-
tered either a track or tennis team
at the University of North Dakota
carnival but will send its regular
track team to the Dickinson meet.
Grand Forks dopesters are looking
for Fargo and Bismarck to battle
it out for the track and field cham
pionship. No other outstanding
aggregation has appeared in any Of
the other meets held in the state
this spring which is well-balanced
enough to challenge the May Festiv-
al and Capital City meet champions.
Turning westward, Bismarck last
year copied first place at Dickinson
when the members of the track
squad who did not make the trip to
Grand Forks, on their own initiative
rounded up team and stepped out
to title.
This year, with Mandan sending
its full quota Of track men to the
Badlands city, the Morton county
speedsters should be heavy favorites
to win.

CONNIE MACK'S
GANG TO BEGIN
YANKEE CHASE
Within Striking Distance, Ath-
letics Hope to Down Hug.
gins Boys
(By The Associated Pfess)

With three Indian scalps in their
locker, the Athletics were tuned up
today for a chase after the flying
Yankees in what still may be called
the American league race. Babe
Ruth and his fellows have been
showing signs of again turning this
competition into sort of Australian
pursuit, with no pursuers, but they
have not yet given the Athletics any
great quantity Of dust, for all Of
New York's astounding sos per-
centage.
Cornelius McGillicuddy, tall tao
tician, is concentrating his efforts
upon remaining within striking dis
lance of the Yankees until next
Thursday when he hopes to begin
tucking a few defeats into the hides
of the Manhattan. maulers. Like the
recently closed series with Cleve-
land, the engagement against New
York will extend through five
games. including double headers
next Thursday and Friday and
single game on Saturday.
Formidable Opposition
The Athletics in the meantime
will be stacked up against no more
formidable opposition than the Chi
cago White SOx and the Washington
Senators. who ought to furnish
Connie with a chance to bolster his
standing. The Yankees, however,
will feast upon the st. Louis Browns
and the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox incidentally are be-
coming no mean proposition. They
have won five straight. They
trimmed the Tigers by 5 to in II
! innings yesterday in one Of the only
two scheduled games in the Amer
lean league. The Tigers have
dropped six straight.
The Athletics enjoyed field day
against the Indians. Cobb and Hale
hit homers for the Athletics after
!! Fonseca had driven one over the
fence for Cleveland, while Jimmy
Toxx got two triples and double.
All of this outburst against Miller,
Harder and Brown enabled the Attn
letics to win by Is to 2. RUDE Wal
berg won his fifth consecutive game.
Mackmen Take Odd Game
The victory gave the Mackmen
the odd game in five against the In
dams after Cleveland had won the
first two. The loss of the series,
coupled with defeat in the New
York skirmish. reduced the Indians
definitely to third place and rea-
dered precarious their position as
contenders.
All was quiet along the National
league front yesterday. The sched-
ule called for games in Pittsburgh
and St. Louis, but rain prevented
both contests. The teams shifted
today for the start # the getaway

Cubs Apprehensive Of

Chicago, May 17.-tR-With the
lowly but Oft times mighty Boston
Braves for their next opponents,
the Cubs were somewhat apprehen-
sive today about the longevity Of
their winning streak, now ten games
old.
Last year. the Cubs swept
through three Of the strongest
clubs in the Heydlcr circuit for IL
straight games. Then came the
Braves and they checked it in the
first game. It was Boston, too, that
started the Cubs on their disastrous
midsummer eastern invasion with
four straight defeats.

Braves will do to baseball club,"
Manager Joe Mccarthy Of the Cubs
sighed.
