TWO GOOD RACES BEING FORECAST
Close Pennant Battles Are El. pected in Both Major Leagues

New York. May 1T UP)-Two close hard fought pennant races arc forecast in the major leagues as . result of showings of the contenders during the first month. The lead in both leagues has shift ed back and forth and today finds the New York Yankees and Phila- delphia Athletics tied for first place in the American League and the Chi cago Cubs half game ahead Of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League.
 Since the two races got we'll under way. three clubs have been out in front in each league. The Braves Cardinals and Cubs have set the pace in the National League. while the Yankees. Athletics and Browns have shared the American League lead. Two dangerous looking ball clubs which got off poorly but now seem to have struck their stride are the Pirates and Tigers. occupants of fourth place in the two leagues. Those two teams are playing the best ball in their respective leagues right now and will bear watching. The most disappointing major league team has been the New York Giants. On occasions. the Giants have looked like world -beaters only to turn around the next day and play like minor-leaguers. Certain changes are expected in the Giants unless they start to win consistently before the month of May is over.
 Washington is another club which has failed to live up to it's early promise. Bad breaks, the worst Of which was the illness Of Walter Johnson, however, have handicapped the Senators.
 The National League teams. the Braves and Phillies. have shown un- Iexpectcdly good form. Although the Braves got off faster than the Phil in fast and is only a game out of third place.
 The Chicago White Sox are in slump after a good start and have won only two games out of the last nine played. The Reds also have played in-and-out ball in the Nation- al League.
 The least said about the Brooklyn Robins and the Boston Red Sox. the better. Brooklyn undoubtedly ,J the poorest excuse in years fUf q ma jor league club. The Phillies were never any worse than the Robins as they are playing these days. They have lost their last seven games. After winning eight straight. the Yankees are in the throes of a slump and have dropped three in a TOW. The Tanks are having trouble with their pitching and Leo Durocher ifs beginning to wobble slightly at shortstop. Criticism of the Cubs lack Of re- serve strength appears to have been without foundation since Joe Mo carthy has three utility players in his lineup temporarily because of injuries. Norman McMillan is play ing third base in place of Clyde Beck and Johnny Moore. recruit, and Cliff Heathcote are filling the out field posts of Hack Wilson and kiki | Cuyler.

 Every time this goat-getter comes to d ball on the fairway. he picks It up and examines it. He is a ball. plucker.
 The sun is shining bright and his eyes are in good conditions: four somes are to the right of him and foursomes to the left of him: his ball is near the green. Yet he stops. picks up your ball. and, after sat- .sfying himself that it isn't his, drops it again.
 There is very little excuse to ever pick up a ball on the fairway.
 If two balls of the same make fall close together on the fairway you can usually tell yours by its position if you have watched it's flight off the tee. Another simple way is to thumb mark your ball as you start off the first tee. Run your thnmb nail through the marks and usually one of the markings is on top and you can see. without lifting it., whether it is your or not.
 Now. with the fancy coiored spots on practically any make ball. it is very simple to have your foursome use balls marked differently
 The trouble in lifting a ball on the fairway and examining it is that if the ball happens to belong to some other played you make him think you are about to run south with it. No matter how careful you are when you drop>it-it rolls into 2 bad lie as far as the golfer is concerned. He's sure to top or dub his next shot.

WATER SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENT
NEARLY READY

LAYING of 10000 feet of four inch
and six inch cast iron water mains
is nearing completion under direc-
tion of the city water department.
Two more weeks will see the work
finished, announces R. Il. Mckib-
ben, superintendent of the water de
partment, who is also installing 10
new fire hydrants, many of them IN
outlying parts of the city and made
possible by the laying of the large
new mains.
The new water pipes, for the most
part, replace old and leaky wrought
iron pipe, two inches in diameter,
laid when the city was much smaller
than at present. Wrought iron pipe
is susceptible to deteriorating eff
fccts. of SOIL to which attacks the
cast iron conduits seem impervious.
Also, the latter are much larger and
heavier than the pipes they are re-
placing.
The new fire hydrants will give

About 10000 feet of the small
wrought iron water pipe will be left
in the city's water system after com
pletion of the present work. The
last of this will be replaced with the
substantial east iron mains within
two years, states Superintendent

While the damage is not very
great, Payson decided to give the
plane a thorough overhauling and
will be so occupied for the next few
