LANDS PLEADS FOR MORE
 BASEBALL LOTS FOR BOYS

CHICAGO, May 2S-(By Assceiat- ed Press IA vacant lot where boys can engage in game of baseball is the best insurance policy obtainable, Kcnc5aw Mountain Lands, baseball commissioner, believes.
 The former federal jurlst. always with a deep interest in boys, said today that too few cities and towns have made the proper provision for boys playground. Tho average boy, he said, may not have very great sense. of justice. but no one has a kcener sense of injustice.
 "It is an injustice not 10 provide spot where boys can enjoy them selves at will and with the know ledge they arc not victims of injus- tice." Commissioner Landis said,
 "One of my chief reasons for my interest in baseball is that I have always had q very deep interest in boys Baseball must justify the con fidence of the boy of today.
 Every boy, if he is normal, has a hero and in times of peace that hero is an athlete. In 99 cases cut of 100 that athlete is baseball player.
 ITO this hero. the boy builds an altar in his heart and keeps the candles burning. Unconsciously or otherwise, he turns to that altar day after day
 'lt is my desire that the figure on that altar shall not totter, but al ways shall be worthy of the faith placed in it."
 In Chicago, with it's thickly popu- lated districts. Judge Landis said he had frequently watched baseball games played in the streets, with street cars speeding in one direction and motor trucks in another so that the Kids" had to stop their games every minute in order to allow a street car to pass over home plate.
 'iConditions like that should not exist he declared Boys should be provided with place to enjoy themselves. It's. the bers insurance in the world against crime, mischief and disease"

Big League Battery


 Manager Dutch" Bernlcfer' 5 bunch of darkhorses lived up to his advance notices in the seccnd game. He sprung battery, bearing names familiar to followers of the sport in "big time''--Alexander and Hanna. This couple looked good enough to bear watching through the season. The best the Alaska-Juneau outfit could do was to get six hits. which. coupled with five errcrs, gave them five runs.
 Tho Legionnairc5 brought their war clubs along with them and found three pitchers for a total of 19 safe ties, including one homerun and five two baggers These with 12 errors by the Miners gave the ex-saldiers IS runs. Manager Sperling started on the mound fer the mine team, lasting two innings. during which the veterans nicked him fer nine hits and eight runs. Tibbitts went in to his rescue in the third and lasted until the end of the fifth, yielding 10 hits and 10 runs. Weird fielding aided the Legionnaires considera bly, in scoring. Smith replaced Tibbitts in the sixth, holding Bcrnhofer's pets hitless and runless, but they had enough for couple of games, so it didn't make any difference.
 Alexander pitched steady game throughout tho seven innings and his battery mate. Hanna. caught him Ike a veteran. Hanna ran bases we'll and was dn the game all the time. Although five errors were made behind Alexander. they came when they didn't count much. In the pinches his support was good. Brown, Kehoe. Heron and Parmakoff showed up well in the infield and when the season gets under way will give the other contenders for the flag something to worry about.

The Alaska daily empire., 1923-05-28


 cool, cloudy weather yesterday after. noon to witness the first games of the local baseball season, all four teams in the City League furnishing the attraction. The Elks trimmed the Moose in the curtain-raiser. nosing out on the long end of a 12 to II score, while the American Legion 2 rag-chasers swamped the Alaska-Ju sneau outfit by a score of IS to 5. The first games marked the open ing of the City Park and Fairgrounds being featured by a parade and the game started with Gov. Scott c. Bone : .son the mound and Mayor I, Geldstein in regulation catcher's garb, behind the plate.
 Delayed by clouds and showers, the parade got away from the corner of Franklin and Front Streets about D. m., headed by the local Indian band of 15 pieces. Many cars were in line and good crowd of specta. tors marched to the park for the games.
 Ceremonies Are Short
 
 park, the opening ceremonies were brief Governor Bone and Mayor Goldstein, preceded by the band, led around the diamond the four teams and representatives of the or ganizations under whose names they are playing. After a brief session of warming up by the teams to open hn h. .c place in the box His first two at tempts went wild. but the third split the pan. It was so much to the lik- ing of Fry. who led off for the Elks, that he smashed it to deep left for a single and all efforts to dislodge him from first failed.
 Moose Take Lead
 The Moose got away to an early lead, scoring three runs off Joe George in the opening frame. The Elks pushed one man across in the first, tying with two more in the second, while Williams. who had re- placed George in the box held the Moose scoreless. Tn the third inning the Elks added four more, taking
  headed.
 When the Moose came up in the last half of the fifth, the score was 12 to against them. They made a desperate squirt to overtake their rivals, but fell short. Jorgenson, first man up drew free ticket to first, took second on a wild pitch tl f,-l wide of that bag. Gamara picked one of Williams slants that he liked and clouted it for the circuit Henry went out to third on a short fly Patterson got a clean single to right field. Boyd, who has all the ear. marks of real ballplayer, connected for four bags Bothello was out when Henning gathered in his pop fly to short. Henning made a good stop on Ed Beaud.n's greunder but threw low giving the runner life at first. He took second and third, stealing botn bags, scoring when Davis fly to cen ter was dropped. Bnl Beaudin got a single but Davis ended the agony going out at third on the play.
 Boyd Holds EIks
 Boyd, replacing Melsnes in the sixth. held the Elks to one hit and scoreless in the last two innings His teammates, however. could no' put over the winning run. They scored two on the sixth on hits b. Patterson and Boyd and some clever baserunning Boyd stole second third and came home on the fourtf hall pitched after he had hit, making a clean steal of the home bag. Ef

Reach ARGUMENTS
IN CASE ELLIS ON
TRIAL FOR ARSON

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Skowhegan, Oct. Sin the case Of
State VS. Joseph Ellis who is charged
with arson, after hearing several wit
nesses the state rested and attorney
Merrill for the defense began on the
defense.
Before opening the defense Mr..
Merrill requested the privilege of adj
dressing the court and Judge Phil
brook said the Court would convene
at 100 and the jurors came to their
rooms at about 200. Mr.. Merrill
moved that the judge direct verdict
OF not guilty for the defense because
the offense charged in the statute
was not made out and he made two
points that the indictment said a
dwelling house and it was not a
dwelling house because no one was
living in it. Mr.. Merrill read the
definition of a dwelling house and he
contested that it did not say any de-
finite dwelling house and therefore
might mean any dwelling house
which Holt owned. Judge Philbrook
declined to sustain the motion and
direct the jury. The jurors were
CalleQ TO tnelr seats at XIV ana Mr..
Merrill formally opened the defense.
In his opening he told of Mr.. Ellis
going to the pasture about two miles
from his home late in the evening to
get his horses and that he only
caught one and was injured while
there and got tired so he took
the one he got and went to the Holt
place to pass the night He did not
find his key hanging by the door.
While he was looking for the key he
heard his coon kitten crying, went
out into the yard toward the barn
about or 10 feet and picked the cat
up. He entered the house through a
window on the piazza and did not
undress but laid down on a couch
where he was awakened after a time
by hearing a car pass. After get
ting a little more sleep he was ava
kened by what he described as q
screeching noise and he smelled
smoke and got up and went up
stairs to the shed chamber where his
things were stored. He saw the barn
was all afire on the inside. He rushed
out and shouted Fire several times.
