D., May 9.—(?)—One rec- ord fell Friday in preliminary events of the 24th annual May Festival track and field meet under way at the North Dakota Agircultural college here. Competition continued today. Lyle Fisher, Fargo javelin thrower, set a new standard of 158 feet, 6 inches, surpassing the mark of 157 feet set by Clarence Ornes of Valley City in 1929. While Fisher set the only new mark, other records were threatened, especially in the pole vault and half mile run. Six pole vaulters qualified for the finals Saturday, all clearing 10 feet, 4 inches, presaging that the mark of 10 feet, 6 ‘2 inches, established by Joe Blakeslee of Fargo in 1926, will go by the boards. All three heats in the half mile run were within five seconds of the 2:07 mark estadlished by Aldrich of Hankinson in 1927. Van Hoose of Valley City ran the fastest heat in 2 minutes, 9.7 seconds. Lloyd Loberg of Fargo, wno won ihe event last year, coasted in in 2 min- utes, 10.2 seconds. Fargo led in the number of men qualified with 15 in nine of the doz- en events. Bismarck, regarded as Fargo’s most serious rival. was run- nerup, qualifying 11 athletes in eight events, Valley City followed with seven, while Perham, Minn., and Dazey were just behind with six each. Other schools which qualified men and the number include Detroit Lakes, Minn., Jamestwon, Grand Forks and Fingal with four each; Mandan, three; Oakes, two; Univer- sity high, Anamoose, C: b. Kenmare, Mohall, Buxton, Denhoff and Kindred, one each. Warren Pederson of Dazey was the individual star of the preliminary events qualifying in six, all that he entered. George Fait of Fingal qual- ified in four. Both are expected tobe serious contenders for the sprint crowns. Pederson and Fait were leaders in just half of the events in which they were entered. Semifinals took place Saturday forenoon in the 220-yard low hurdles, 120-high hurdles, 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash, with finals at 1:30 p. m. No preliminaries were to be run in the mile run. Preakness Race Opens Saturday Booths Set Up by Mutuel De- partment to Handle Money for Maryland Classic Baltimore, May 9—(#)—The 40th running of the $50,000 Preakness over the mile and three-sixteenths route at the Pimlico track makes Saturday the day of days of the Maryland rac- ing season. Other important races have been run, more are to be de- cided, but to all Maryland, the Preak- ness ranks first. Out at the track the mutuel depart- ment set up additional booths to han. dle the extra thousands of dollars wag- ered through the machines. Every avaiable reserve seat was grabbed up days ago. With the infield thrown open, the Maryland Jockey club is prepared to handle a crowd from thirty to forty thousand. Nine of the east's best thorough- breds vere groomed for the battle for the purse of $50,200. The winner's purse will fall nearly $10,000 short of the $60,000 won by the Victorian last year. The course is expected to be dried out and fast by the time the field is sent away by Starter Jim Milton about 4 p. m., central standard time. James Rowe, trainer of Mrs. Payne Whitney's Greentree stable’s three nominations, saw the prospect of @ track just to Twenty Grand’s liking.

Back of Babe, who celebrated his! return to action by adding fifty points | to his average, was Lew Fenseca, Cleveland Indian first baseman who! won the individual title in 1929, and Al Simmons, the siege gun of the champion Athletics. Fonseca gained 72 points to give him an average of | .432, while Simmons slammed the Pitching for an additional 131 points | and was third with .417. | Other regulars in the first 10 were: Alexander, Detroit, .413; Berry.

Low Water Level Is Seen As Menace Fish Life in State Imperiled as Result of Drought, Game Commissioner Says Three projects aimed at conserva~ tion of North Dakota waters will get under way soon to combat one of the worst drouth periods in the state's history, Burnie Maurek, state game and fish commissioner, announced Saturday. Water levels of lakes and streams in the state are at a dangerously low 4 | cbb, Mr. Maurek said, and have made apparent the necessity for conserva- tion. Stagnation in many lakes has killed off considerable fish life in re- 3| cent years, according to the commis- sioner. The recent legislature enacted leg- | islation which will make possible dam projects on Arrowood Lake near Ed- mond, and Carpenter and Gravel Lakes in the Turtle Mountain region. Receive Appropriation An appropriation of $7,000 was provided by the legislature to permit the state engineer to “take such ac- tion as may be necessary to conserve the water levels and rehabilitating the streams and brooks in the Turtle Mountain region.” Another measure j Sets up machinery for the institution | of condemnation proceedings in con- ‘nection with the construction of a {dam on Arrowood Lake, for which | $3,500 has been made available by the game and fish department, and a similar amount assured by organi- | zations in the affected region. The game and fish department's share for the Arrowood Lake project has been available for some time, Mr. Hornsby Retains Maurek said, and easements prone Grasp on Batting Honors in League} |Chicago Cubs Lead National League in Both Fielding and Batting Averages New York, May 9.—(?)—With bat- © ting averages dropping rapidly toward , their normal levels, Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago Cubs, re- mains the outstanding clouter of the the Cincinnati Reds is the batting |leader in this week's issue of the gathered in a greater collection of honors. While Roettger leads with a .400 average, Hornsby is tied for second Place among the regulars with Jim) Bottomley of St. Louis. They have | 383 averages. The Rajah also is ted for the home run lead, having clouted jfive to share the position with Buzz Arlett of the Phillies, and tops them all in batting in runs with 18. Under Hornsby’s leadership, the Cubs lead the league in club batting and fielding. They have a batting ‘mark of .300 and a fielding average of |.986. One other Chicagoan, Woody English, also is among the first 10 in- \dividual batters. | After the three leaders on this list come Davis, Philadelphia, .575; Ver- {gez, New York, .371; Leach, New York, .358; Traynor, Pittsburgh, 346; Adams, St. Louis, and Worthington, Boston, .345; and English, .344. Bottomley has a second honor, leading in hitting doubles with eight. Hughie Critz of New York has col- lected the greatest hit total, 29, and Lioyd Waner of Pittsburgh tops the scorers with 18 runs. Dick Bartell of Philadelphia is the only National Leaguer who has hit four triples. Base stealing honors are divided between Wally Berger of Boston and Adam Comorosky of Pittsburgh, who have copped five each. Two New York pitchers, Fred Fitz- simmons and Clarence Mitchell, Ed Brandt of Boston and Burleigh Grimes of St. Louis share the top of the pitching list, each with four vic- tories and no defeats.

The plan is | to divert waters from a watershed in- to the lake, at a cost estimated at $1,200, which would be available from the $7,000 legislative appropriation.

The overflow would be diverted into Lake Upsilon on which the St. John fish hatchery is located. Mr. Maurek termed the projects as “just a beginning” in water conserva- tion, declaring that there are “un- limited possibilities” in such work. This is especially true, he said, in the Turtle Mountain region. A fourth project is being consid- ered at Oak Creek north of Bottin- eau, but no definite survey has been made in this case, Mr. Maurek said. The proposal contemplates diversion of water from the creek to nearby Jakes, and an investigation of its feasi- bility is expected to be made, Indians May Lose Youthful Hurler Wesley Ferrell Leaves Game With Red Sox in First In- ning With Sore Arm (By The Associated Press) The Cleveland Indians, leaders of the American League, find themselves in a rather tough spot as they open ene stand against the strong eastern clubs. ‘The Indians not only have to face opposition which looks somewhat stronger than what they have met, but they may have to meet it without the services of Wesley Ferrell, king- Pin of their pitching staff. Ferrell started against the Boston Red Sox Friday and retired volun- tarily in the first inning. After giving three doubles he complained of a sore arm. If Ferrell remains out long, Cleve- land has only Willis Hudlin who has proved reliable so far. Brown and Harder have started regularly but sel- dom have finished their games. As for relief hurlers, it took three of ;them to stop the Red Sox Friday and they did not succeed until Boston had put over five runs in the fourth in- ning to win 8 to 4, The other game which escaped the Weather in the American League Fri- day created a slight disturbance in the theory that the balance of power in the circuit lies in the east. The Detroit Tigers outlasted Washington in a. 10-inning mound duei between Earl Whitehill and Lloyd Brown to win 3 to 2. In the National League, two cames were scheduled to wind up the intra- sectional struggles before the western teams open in the east Saturday and oe) eee out. ¢ Brooklyn Dodgers won the other, making very good use of four hits and eight walks off Stewart Bo- len to beat the Phillies 4 to 3. ee State Offers Bargain For Thrifty Anglers North Dakota anglers who do their shopping for fishing licenses early will get a bargain rate. Up to July 1, tishing licenses can be procured for 50 cents, while after that date the fee becomes $1, according to Burnie Maurek. state game and fish commissioner, The new game and fish act, passed by the recent legislature, increases the fishing license fee from 50 cents to $1, but the law does not becune ef- fective until July 1. Licenses pur- chased before the increase gces into effect are good for the entire season.
