RADIO COMPASS AID
TO SHIPS IN FOG

For the first time in history, the
fog-bound. mariner can get his bear
ings even If the sun is deep behind
the clouds or the north star is hidden.
This can now be accomplished by the
radio compass in conjunction with the
radio fog-signal station.
Three such stations have been es-
tablished in the vicinity Of New York
Harbor. according to the report of the
commissioner Of lighthouses. When
developed and their use extei .sc. ''
the report adds, radio fog-signals
and the radio compass probably will
be the greatest advance made in a
long period in affording protection to
vessels in fog
. The report recommends an increased
appropriation in order to meet the
need for reconditioning lighthouses
and lightships.

PRO GRID LOOP
FOR WEST COAST

Pasadena, Cal, March 5.--Plans
for a Pacific Coast professional foot
ball league, modelled after the Pacific
Coast Baseball League, have been
conceived by George C"Tuffy'D
Conn, former star halfback of the
Pasadena high school, the Oregon
Agricultural College and several pro-
fcssional elevens. 81
Conn said recently he has not
worked the proposal out in detail and
would not do so until he learns tho
attitude of coast league club owners,
to whom he has suggested they take
control of the organization.
The suggestion was that owners OF
the baseball clubs should back pro
fcssional football after the baseball
season closes, probably only during
October, November and December,
and possibly from the close Of ono
baseball season in October to the
next in April.
Ono football game a week IN four
of the eight league cities would be
played. This plan would give Los
Angeles one game week as the Los
Angeles and Vernon league clubs arc
owned here, and one a week on San
Francisco bay, either in San Fran
cisco or Oakland. Portland, Seattle.
Sacramento and Salt Lake would
have game every two weeks Games
would be played on holidays.
Whether the eamcs would be play
ed on Saturday or Sunday would
have TO be decided later, Conn said
The football teams would use tho
coast league parks.
Conn has approached four eiuh
owners, San Francisco. Portland.
Los Angeles and Vernon, with his
proposal, but has received no definite
answers
Some Vernon officials are said 10
favor professional football organ
ization in California alone. believing
the distances between all the coast
league cities too great to make the
proposed larger organization profit.
able.
Owners of tho Portland clnb are
reported favoring the proposal and,
according to Portland newspaper,
have considered endeavoring TO en-
gage Jimmie Richardson, manager of
athletics al the Oregon Agricultural
College, TO handle the gaYnes.

GOES TO MAJORS

Chicago, March 5.-A superinten-
dent of the public schools is to desert
his position and answer the call of
the major league diamond. P. Jor-
gcnsen, head of the public schools Of
Gutenberg, Iowa, is the man who
has forsakcn the school house for the
baseball field. Jorgcnsen has sign
cd to pitch for the Chicago White
Sox, and will leave Chicago the lat
ter part of February in the advance
squad of battery men, for WaSaha-
chic, Texas, the training camp of the
club.
Numerous college players have
come into the major leagues, some
signing contracts before their educa-
tion was completed. But this is the
first instance where college man.
after ascending TO the position of
head of the public schools, was will
ing 10 sacrifice his position to play
baseball.
The baseball bug started buzzing
very young. His first baseball was
played while member of kid
nine, at Lusk, Wisconsin. Later he
came TO Kimballton, Iowa, his home
town, where he was manager of the
club for two seasons. After entering
the Teachers College at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, he was one of the clubs lead
ing pitchers, and performed on the
slab for four seasons, being chosen
captain in his senior year.
In the summer of 1919 Jorrcnscn
pitched for the Ackley, Iowa, team
and had good season. Last year as
a member of semi professional
team in kimballton, he helped his
team defeat some of the best clubs in
this section of the state. 1t was at
this time that the baseball scouts dis
covered what they thought would be
n "find.' The Milwaukee club of
the American association tried TO in
duce Jorgensen to sign contract
but he declined tho offer and in the
fall of that year he returned to
Gutenberg and resumed his teach
ing. Tho spring of 1920 Jorgonsen
was appointed superintendent Of the
public schools.
Jorgensen throws right hand. but
at the plate he bats either right or
left hand. His batting average for
last season was near the 400 mark.
He is feet, Q inches tall and weighs
about 155 pounds.

The old National league stands to-
day as the progenitor of baseball. And
it has only been thfu stern deter
mination of its officials since its IN
clpiency away back in 1876 that the
game is looked upon by millions or
Americans from coast to coast as the
great American game
Dishonest sports never endure and
it is with the highest commendaion
to past and present officials that thru
out almost half century of baseball
history they have kept this sport clean.
This has not been an easy task by
any manner of means, and there have
been incidents at different times which
Were cause for almost as much specu-
lation as that of the Chicago White
Sox. The old timer will still remem-
Der when A. II. Nichols, William n.
Craver, George Hall and James A.
Devlin were expelled from the Louis
Vile club for selling games and to
the honor Of that club credit must be
given for being the first in organized
baseball with the courage to grapple
with the gambling evil The lesson
was a valuable one to future genera
tions, and be it said that while these
players were prominent and were ma
turally favorites of thousands of ad-
mirers of the game and while the
greatest pressure was brought to bear
from all angles and Influences for
their reinstatement they were never
again permitted to enter the ranks of
organized baseball. League officials
and the management of clubs had suf-
ficent forethought to see and know
that with the evil of gambling cou-
pied with the playing OF champion
ship gaines baseball would be doomed.
There have been isolated cases since
that time: strick surveillance by club
officials. however, kept this evil from
communicating the game, and to con-
slider that in all probability this has
been the one outstanding feature that
has made baseball the predominating
sport. is sufficient praise.
Aside from the gambling evil, Il Is
important to take into consideration
the battles these officials and club
masnates fought for tho very life of
tho league and It's clubs since its or
Eanization in 1876. That season was a
dismal failure, and 1t must not be for
gotten that It was much more diff
cult to finance baseball organizations
then than 4, is Mt this time. The league
consisted of tho Chicago, Hartford, St
Louis, Boston. Louisville Mutual. Ath-
lctic and Cincinnati clubs. AT the au-
nual meeting in December 1875, tho
Athletics and tho Mutual clubs were
expelled for their failure to make tho
western trip and complete their schcd-
.ulos OF championship contests. These
officials were determined set and
they played out the 1877 schedule with
six clubs. This worked fairly well but
tho Cincinnati club failed to pay its
yearly dues and was thrown out and
its games forfeited. In the following
year the Reds were reinSt1tcd. but new
