In 23 inning: been made off his delivery, that York f New s in a row, A Rough Path The path to the majors has been a rough one for Lisenbee. A few mick he was the property of Pittsburgh club, who decided he} wasn’t and sent him back to| Memphis of the Southern League for further ning. ton scouts, after look- ing over Lisenbee for several weeks, decided he was a good prospect and a fancy figure was paid the Memphis club for his service: Just prior to the d for Washington sent Pitcher “Cur- " Ogden to Birmingham, in the; same leagu t payment in an- ion. Fate ordained that and Ogden should have a collision, in which Lisenbee suffered a broken shoulder blade. This accident happened near the close of last season. When Lisenbee} reported at Tampa, Fla., for spring training, doubt was expressed as to his recovery from the accident of last fall. Just when he proved he’ had, he, suffered a muscle strain in the abdomen. that put him out for several weeks. free from injuries he began to show his true work. as a regular. An Unusual Goal Every youngster in the majors has a goal, Lisenbee is a most unusual one . He seeks fame and lucre-~in baseball to pave the way to a big dairy farm that he eventually hopes to supervise in the sunny south, Lisenbee took a course in agricul- ture at a southern college and is one of those intellectual farmers. His education has definitely taught him there is little money in cotton or truck farming. His goal is a big | 1s the| He is now reckoned dairy farm with all the latest ap-! pliances. It looks as if he will get it, Lisenbee is of medium physique and is not particularly impressive to atch. However, he has a fast ball hat “Sneaks on the batter and is most deceptive. He has a good knuckle ball and a fair curve, In addition to a pretty good re- petoire of stuff, Lisenbee has an intense desire to make™ good. He dreams of a big herd of Holsteins and Jerseys bringing in fat returns in milk, cream and money.

Widener, of Philadelphia, won $6,000, Jock $3,000 and Hydromel $1,000, The western horses, with the ex- ception of Hydromel, were well back in the field. PRISON TEAM WINS OPENER All Stars Defeat Pettibone Nine, 7 to 5—Play Gray City Team Next Sunday. Playing their initial game of the tentiary All Stars defeated the Pet- tibone nine by a close score of 7 to 5. Both teams exhibited exceptional- ly good form for so early in the eason. e the game “sewed up” and the jsitors staged several batting ral lies in unsuccessful attempts to tie, the count. The All Stars, however, managed to hold in the pinches. Timely hitting and fast fielding by. both teams held the interest of a large group of Bismarck baseball fans who witnessed the game. Two fast doubles were pulled by the All Stars, one in the third inning when Kelly picked up a fast drive, putzing the batter out at first and catching base runner at second. The other double came in the eighth, when Peo- ples scooped up one of Stienhouse’s wrounders, catching a base runner at second and retiring the batter by completing the play to Kelly at fir: The Pettibone players came bi with a determined effort in the fifth frame, making four safe hits which netted two runs, putting the count at 4 to 3. The third batter was retired on a short fly, with the bases full. Plenty of Hitting The offerings of both mound ar- tists were hard hit with Pettibone gathering 10 hits off McCrill and the All Stars tallying 11 hits off E, Schmidt.

FINANCIAL REVIEW New York, May 16.—()—Resump- tion of the up’ movement of the stock prices this week, which lifted the general industrial average to a new high record, was accompanied by two interesting developments out- side the market, the purchase ‘ of nearly $60,000,000 in French gold by the federal reserve system and the agreement’ of nine leading oil ex- ecutives to temporarily restrict pro- duction of crude oil in the Seminole field, pending formulation of a gen- eral stabilization plan for that in- dustry. Purchase of the French which ail fede: ‘reserve, banks participated, was effected by? the sale of government securities. The gold will be kept in London, at last for the time being, and carried in the reserve statements as “gold held abroad.” A fourth shipment of $6,- 000,000 in gold, believed to have come from the same source, arrived here this week consigned to a private bank, leaving only a few million dol- lars ‘of the. original $90,000,000 uns accounted for. The probable effect of this huge accumulation of gold on the money market: was a source: of widespread discu: are generally Easy believed to be the principjal influence béhind the recent upswing in prices. Whil many stocks have been bid up for individual considerations, the general market has been sustained by the plethora of credit, and the large surplus of. funds seeking ‘in- vestment. Buying of stocks con- tinues to be of a highly’ selective character, with selling pressure cen- tered largely on shares of companies | whose earnings prospects are doubt- i : good response to the Seminole cu ment plans. Steel shares held fairif firm in the face of declining pro- daction and’ demand, and a further easing of pig iron prices. U. S. Stecl common. sold close to the year’s high. Motors were mixed but special buy- ing developed in Hudson, Chrysler and General Motors, the first two touching new 1927 highs and the third responding to the declazution of an extra cash dividend of $".

INTOXICATION IS SHOWN BY TEST’ Cinoinnatig (0, May 16.—Cloves, peppermint or any of the much-ad- vertised breath-sweeteners' will not disguise the presence of liquor from vigilant wives who use a chem- ieal test invented by Dr. Emil Bogen of the University of Cincinnati. Nor can the husband “who carries his Jiguor like a gentleman” disguise the extent of his intoxication. The test consists of persuading the victim to inflate a toy balloon or football blad- h his own breath, then pass the air through a solution of potas- sium bjichromate, ‘which (changes from yellow to green in preportion to the amount of alcohol the breath contains. aaa DR.
