At teast he does not want to give you the impression he is expecting big things from the Boston Red Sox this summer. Tha hed Sox are much the same as last year. no posi- tions are secure. The man who shows Bill the best siuff gets the job. However, it is a safe bet that, deep down in his heart, Carrigan is figuring on bettering his posi- tion in the league’s race, although it may still look hopeless except to sede most rabid of Red Sox sup- ‘rs. “We'll be in there, trying all the time,” is about the only statement that can be pried out of the griz- zled head man of the Sox. The team is still in the building process and is probably the young- est aggregation in baseball.

D., March 26,— C.

West will come here to start his duties by taking over several sum- mer school courses in athletics, President Kane said. He takes the positic:. now held by P. J. Davis, athletic director, who is to retire from this work at the end of the school year. President Kane announced that he had recommended West for the posi- tion to the state board of adminis. tration last week. A letter received here yesterday from R. B. Murphy, Bismarck, president of that body, said that West had been elected. President Kane stated today that Mr. West has indicated to him that he will accevt the North Dakota of- fer. Fit For Post If West signs, President Kane feels that he has signed for the uni- versity one of the outstanding foot- ball coaches and athletic directors in the country. He was selected from a Jong list of applicants, the president said, because h's record showed un- questionably that he possessed the qualifications needed to handle the North Dakota situation, West's application shows that he has lost only 17 games in 100 foot- ball contests at South Dakota State jin nine years. Several of these losses are credited to Marquette, Wisconsin, Creighton and Detroit university, teams which natural; should have an edge over State col- lege. However, West has piloted his team for victories over Creighton in six games, six victories from the University of North Dakota in eight | games, and six conquests in starts Both Denny Williams, from Mobile, and Doug Taitt, from Nashville, hit .350 last year.

WGRAW HAVE Rival Gotham Baseball Man- agers Upset Predictions on Pennant Races BY_ALAN J. GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor New York, March 26.—(%)—Pro- fessor Miller Huggins expects the American League race this season to be a three-cornered affair while his Metropolitan rivals, Dr. John McGraw, who holds by popular as- sent the of master mind, be- lieves that five clubs will be in the on of the National League scram- Two such weighty opinions com- & proper amount of recogni- tion but they do not quite dove-tail with. the that it will be no more than a dou- ble-barreled onl 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 ee ea Wee wash luggins 8 for Washington as well as the Mackmen to furnish the Yankees some ree! trouble. Some of the other obse &s include De- troit in their yennant reckoning. In the comparative safety of predic- tions this far in advance of the ac- tual. season, however, it looks as though the Athletics will be the lers-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 a ten-gime lead, which they were steadily lengthening last season did Huggins permit himself to appear optimistic. Like the an- cient crack about “Stagg fearing ue” Huggins was always “fearing” some rival uprising that never materialized. In an unguarded moment toward the close, when only a train wreck could have nates the Yankees, Huggins did yield to the extent of remarking that “it looks as though the club will win it it keeps up its present race.” fterward 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 le 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 nothin; more than a powerful pitching staff, will be troublesome, the Johnny ,+ Risko of the league; apt to upset any well-laid rival plans.
