allowed the players such a large

that they were allowed to stall at

However, it is a safe bet that,
deep down in his heart, Carrigan
is figuring on lettering his posi-

ayers Upset Predictions
on Pennant Races
BY ALAN ]. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor

New York, March 26.-(R-Pro-
lessor Miller Higgins expects the
American League race this season
to be q three-cornered affair while
his Metropolitan rivals, DR.. John
McGraw, who holds by popular as
sent the degree Of master mind, be-
lieves that five clubs will be in the
bic.
Two such weighty opinions COM
mand q proper amount Of recogni-
ton but they do not quite dove-tail
with the general views. These are
that it will be no more than q dou-
ble-barreled joust in the American.
with the Athletics as the main men.
ace to the Yankees, and that prob.
ably six clubs will fight it out in
the National melee.
Higgins looks for Washington as
we'll as the Mackmen to furnish the
Yankees some req! trouble. Some
of the other obse - include De-
troit in their remnant reckoning. In
the comparative safety Of predic-
lions this far in advance Of the ac-
tual season, however, it looks as
though the Athletics will be the
contenders-in-chief.
Hug Never Confident
The little Yankee pilot has never
been prone to over-confidence. Not
even when his mighty maulers had
upwards OF ten-game lead, which
they were steadily frightening last
season did Higgins permit himself
to appear optimistic. Like the an
Gent crack about "Stagg fearing
Purdue" Higgins was always
fearing" some rival uprising that
never materialized.
In an unguarded moment toward
the close, when only q train wreck
could have stopped the Yankees,
Higgins did yield to the extent of
remarking that 1T looks as though
the club will win il it keeps up its
present race" Afterward he was
said to have regretted this.
John Figures Result
McGraw figures on the clubs that
battled it out in 1927 to dominate
the National League race again.
The veteran giant chieftain does
not include the Boston Braves in
this reckoning. Like most of the
other observers he dismisses Brook.
lyn and Philadelphia as real pen.
nant threats.
Brooklyn, even If It has nothing
more than powerful pitching staff,
will be troublesome, the johnny
4aisko Of the league; apt to upset
any well-laid rival plans. But the
Braves are shaping up like real
contenders. It happens that the
Boston club is gathering strength
at time when the National League
has Is powerful set of clubs as it
has ever known. But the team will
have driving power if Horr~' is
up to his usual standard and plenty

-Moorheads Spuds, 1928 high
school basket ball champions of
Minnesota, came home yesterday
greeted by a surging throng Of en-
thusiastic rooters whose rcsound-
ing cheers were augmented by the
shrieking Of fire sirens and the
shrill blasts Of factory whistles.
The Spuds, four times chal!cng-
ers for the Minnesota title until
their successful guest Of the past
week, gave Moorhead her first ma
jor championship in history, and
the citizens Of Moorhcad gave them
as big and enthusiastic demonstra-
ton as q community Of this size
could possibly offer.
From the moment Clifford Hahn
rast. doughty captain and all state
forward, alighted from the train
bearing the championship trophy,
until a monster mass meeting was
called to order in the high school
auditorium, the cheers of the root
ers. the blare of the bands, and the
shrill cries of the whistles and sir
ems predominated. The victorious
players and their coach. Glenn
Hanna, were loaded on a fire truck
with prominent city officials and
were paraded through the main
streets Of the city.
The procession stopped at the
high school where another large
crowd was gathered, and the team
was officially congratulated by
Mayor B. T. Bottolfson, a Moor
head high school athlete Of promin-
ence years ago.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Jan. 6 tR)-Led by corn,
all grain rallied somewhat today from
yesterdays setback Scantiness of
rural offerings of corn, together with
smallness of corn receipts west and
southwest, as well as indications of a
fair volume of export business in corn,
was largely responsible. Closing quo
cations both on corn and wheat were
firm. Corn finished 5$c to Is 1c net
higher, wheat a4c to asW1hc up, oats
at 1sc decline to 3s6O12c advance and
provisions varying from &c setback to

Considerable buying of corn today

and commission houses became per-
sistent buyers of future deliveries here.
Spectators who sold early found them
selves forced to switch to the buying
side. One exporter admitted having
disposed of 10000 bushels for trans
Atlantic shipment and Kansas City re-
ported business with Europe was being
light along. Complaints of lack OF

crop were received and the spot trad
