YANKEES STILL BIG FAVORITES New York. March 31,-(INS)— The New York Yankees may be playing class 00 basehall in the south but if Wall Street is aware of the fact it doesn’t attach much, if any, importance to the circumstance. In the odds made public in the Street some months ago. when the Yanks looked like Mrs. Astor's wolfhound on a Sunday morning, they were quoted at 7 to 10 to repeat in the American league Today, their price has been shortened to 3 to 5 and just what that makes the Buffalo Blsons is: something for your multigraph to! mull ever. The Biscns won only two ! games from the Yanks because they I played only two games with the ; Yanks. However, the tendency in the Street seems to be toward shortened prices, the Pittsburgh Pirates having been moved forward to 2 to 1 in the National league. They had been 3 to 1 in the early booty. The Giants’ odds also have been curtailed to 2% to 1 in the current odds. Which the Street says are likely to prevail on opening day. If they do and Wall street has the slightest idea of what it is all about, which may be set down in the idiom of the insurance broker as a doubtful risk, the major league races will result as follows: American League 1 New York 5 Cleveland 2 Philadelphia 6 Chicago 3 Washington 7 St. Louis 4 Detroit S Boston National League 1 Pittsburgh 5 Chicago 2 New York 6 Poston 3 St. Louis 7 Brooklyn 4 Cincinnati S Philadelphia I !

Mar. 31 — (U.R) — I Youngsters figure prominently in the ' plans of Ray Schalk f.r getting the 1 Chicago White Sox up among the con- • tenders for the American League per- 1 ’ nant this season. "We'll bear watching" the diminu t tive White Sox leader told the Unitoii Press in an exclusive interview today. ‘ “for three reasons —1 youth, 2 speed. ‘ 2 hustle. | 1 "I believe the White Sox are strong-. 1 er than last year and if the youngsters ; ’ stand up. well —” The pitching staff and the infield. 1 Schalk believes, are the strongest departments of the 1928 White Sox. “I won't say we'll have the greatest infield in the league." Schalk said, "but c I don't believe it will suffer in comparison to any other infield in the league.” The Sox infield will lie made up of Johnny Clancy at first. Bill Hunt/e---field at second, Chalmer Cizzell at short and Willie Kamm at third. I “This boy Cissell has a great career : ahead of him." Schalk said. “Kamm is I due for his greatest year at third and , Chancy will be an improved player at , j first. I might decide bn a shift at sec- , ond. \ ] With two of the best pitchers in the ] league in Teddie Lyon and Tommy j (Al) Thomas. Schalk rates his pitching staff as the best the Sox have had j ' in years. "I look for Ted Blankenship to have ; l a big year," he said, “And we have , I picked up three promising youngster- ' in Al Williamson. Bill Go del! and ' George Cox.” x Shalk had little to say about his oat field which may be the weak spot in! the team. Unless Johnny Mostill makes a successful comeback, the outfield again will be composed of Bib Falk, in left. Alex Metzler in center and Bill Barrett in right. Randolph Mcore from the Waco Texas league club will be j retained. Schalk expects to take his turn in the catcher’s box this season with Hany McCurdy, Clyde Crbuse and Moe Begs, the reformed infielder. The Yankees won't run away with the pennant this season, Schalk said. DOES LARGE • ROOFING JOB A. R.

M. Triggs, president, and D. A.

OXFORD BEATEN BY CAMBRIDGE Putney, England. March 31—(U.R)— A well-trained and stout-hearted Cambridge crew’ today spurted its way into one of the greatest and ens.est victories Cambridge ever had scored in the 80th running of OxfordCambridge boat races, by finishing tin lengths ahead of their traditional opponents. The time was well under the record jbut Cambridge didn't need record speed to defeat the crew that filled the Oxford boat. The race was rowed in 20 minutes and 25 seconds. The record is 18 minutes -uind 2p seconds, established by Oxford in 1918. It was the earliest time in history that the race had been run and many c.f the thousands of spectators who lined the Thames termed it the “Breakfast Race.” Many breakfast parties preceded the start. Among the distinguished gti'-sty was the king of Afghanistan. He watched Hie finish from a launch moored at Mort laike. Never was Cambridge challenged. At the finish they seemed strong. In contrast tty Oxford crew was fatigued. Their last mile or two had exhausted them and at the finish they were rowing raggedly and with no semblance of the splendid unison ' they had shown at the start. It was the 39th race Cambridge had won since the event was started 99 years ago. Oxford has w’on 40 and one race ended in a deal heat. The crowd was not as great as in the past. Intermittent showers had cased many to desert this classic boat race. o ■ . Joe Sekvra Decisively Beaten By Leo Lomski New York, March 31 -(U.R)- The championship aspirations of Joe Sekvia of Dayton, whether in the heavyweight or 175 pound division, have been disposed of for the time being by his decisive defeat at the hands of Leo Lomski of Aberdeen. Washington Sekyra proved himself an awkward, inexperienced boxer who was an easy prey for Lomski's right hand body blows. Which won last night’s match, ia Madison Square Garden. o DECATUR H. S. NOTES ....by..* ROBERT HELLER Rev. Fernthiel Speaks The Rev. H. H. Ferntheil. Presbyterian minister, gave the Easter address in the Friday morning chapel program His subject was “The Spirit of Easter.” He defined his subject as meaning newlife and the word Easter comes from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning new life. He illustrated his talking by fitting stories about the renewal of life at Easter time. Rev. Ferntheil said Easter should mean a new life to everyone as Christmas should mean a new birth. Vo*e On Carnival Queen The last period of the day, Friday was used to vote for the king and queen in the carnival and to take up subscriptions for the annual. A good number subscribed. Most of the material has been taken to the Daily Democrat office for printing. A few pictures will have to be sent to Fort Wayne to be engraved, but these will be completed by the middle of next \week. Music Contest Makes Profit About sixteen or seventeen dollars will be made on the city music contest. Miss Chester said yesterday. More than |25 has been checked in, and the expenses were light. As this was not an effort to make money, the returns are more than pleasing to those in charge. Gives Program At Central Miss Chester took part of the winners in the local music contest to Central yesterday. Those who sing solos, duets and quartets whom she. thought needed the experience, went over. The music consituted Central’s regular Friday morning chapel program. o Gusta Cramer Injured In Fall At Greensburg Word has been received here that Miss Gusta Cramer, formerly of this city, now residing at the Odd Fellows Home at Greensburg, suffered severe bruises last week when she fell unconscious to the floor of the homo, striking her head. Miss Cramer’s eyes were swollen shut for a few days and it was necessary for her to be taken to the hospital of the Home. Miss Cramer is said to be recovering illness, however, and it is thought that she-will be entirely recovered in a few days. Mayor George Krick was Fort Wayne on a business errand today.

SKYSCRAPER FOR BENEFITOF CITY IS CHICAGO IDEA Chicago (INS) A municipal skyscraper, costing •pproxlmately five million dollars, has been proposed here for th-' purpose of enriching the city coffers Real estate. In the downtown district of Chicago is worth huge sums of money, and a survey made by the city officials revealed that municipal property now is. In many eases unproductive of revenue. As a result. It has heen pioposed that a 42-story building be erected by the city on some of its loop property. Rentals, according to estimates cf the architects who drew up plans, would total more than |2.500,000 a year Consequently, in two years the building would have paid for itself and thereafter would pour several millions of dollars a year into the city coffers, to help reduce taxes. Would Build Others If successful, the first municipal skyscraper of Chicago would be duplicated by structures on other valuable cities owned by the city, with a resultant income of millions a year to the city, exclusive f the added value of municipal holdings. Plans drawn by Holabird and Roche architects, have been presented to the mayor by Chris P. Paschen, city com misstoner. The first, experiinei |al structure would be erected on the site of the Chicago avenue pumping station at Michigan avenue. Some city offices w uld be contained in the building, but the majority of the offices would be rented. Increasing the city income has become an involved problem for the council. The school system has requested an increase of more than forty mi'lion dollars a year for operating expanses mauds which might result in a , harp and other depaitments have made deincrease either in tax rates, or in assessed valuation here. Mayor William Hale Thompson Ms attempting to solve the problem by putting the city on a revenue producing basis without more taxation Legal Aspects Legal aspects of a real estate venture by the city have not yet been considered, but advocates of the skyscraper scheme maintain there would lie no barrier from th it angle. Tenants for a municipal building could be obtained easily, it was claim ed since much of the city property is situated in the most desirable business sections of the city. j Eventually, the plan conceives a development of all city pioperty which is now a drag on the corporate purse strings. Some use would be found by
