Well. first Of all, what will
become of the Yankees when
their best men are sent away to
other ports?
Where will they finish in the
league?
Has the American League over
looked the fact that when the
Yankees are out in front, the
league prosperS to greater degree
than when other teams are set
ting the pace?
Nothing New
This hue and cry against the
winning team is nothing new in
baseball. During the Higgins
regime, in 1921, ~ and '23, we
heard the same thing. In 1922
the Yankees almost lost sight Of
the pennant looking through the
bottoms of appraised beer glasses
But in '23 they Spread-eagled
the field and greatly enriched
the other seven clubs.
In the second pennant cycle
of the Yankees, in 1925, '27 and
%, the same cry was raised. We
heard the same thing in Phila
delphia when Comics cham
pions Of 1910, IL and '13 were
at their best.
But to return to the Yankees
In 1925 when the team plunged
into the second division, none
of the other owners came forward
to help the Yankees.

Contest Site
p ACRE FIELD AMONG
SEVERAL BEING
CONSIDERED

A 81 acre field of corn on the
Frank Mcnamara farm five miles
southeast of Redwood Falls is be-
ing seriously considered as the
site of the state corn husking
contest, Berry Akers, editor of
The Farmer magazine said Tues
day.
It's the best looking field of
corn I've ever seen in Redwood
county and I've been coming here
for II years." Akers said.
He said the magazine which
sponsors the husking contest will
not announce the selection of a
field until next week but seemed
impressed with the possibilities
of the Mcnamara farm as the
scene of the forthcoming battle of
the bangbOards.
This year there will be only 16
hUskCrS in the state contest. Three
district contests will be held to
eliminate county winners and the
five highest in each district will
enter the state meet. J. John
son of Cottonwood county who
beat Redwood cOunty'S Ted Bal
kO for the state championship
last year will also compete.
No commercial exhibits will be
allowed at the state contest this
