STREET SIGNS
BEING ERECTED
New Markers for Island
ThoroughfareS are Placed
on Corners

ToTTENvILLE. Sept. 6:-New
street signs similar to those placed
along Craig avenue in Tottenville
and Hylan boulevard will be placed
along on all streets of the borough
of Richmond If the plan of Borough
President Lynch is carried out. Pres
ident Lynch, in addressing a letter to
the Multiple Listing Exchange who
raised the question some time ago OF
street markers, admits that many
new signs are needed in the borough.
The Bureau of Highways has select
ed what is considered an indestruct-
ible name plate which is formed of a
composition of metals and is rust
proof. These signs are asst and will
resist the attacks of boys. The
highway department has received
212 of these signs and they are be-
ing erected on the main thorough
fares at an expenditure of $1,000.
which is all the money available for
this purpose.
A request has been made to the
Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment in the budget for 1924 to al
low $4,000 for new street signs and
it is believed that In q reasonable
time all streets will be properly
marked. Many signs in Tottenville
have been broken and there Is a
need for new ones to be put up.
House numbering is also mentioned
in the letter of the committee to
Borough President Lynch, but he
denies that properties in the Dor
ough are without house numbers. A
modern system of house numbering
has been in force for a number of
years following a confliction of a
number of streets found to have five
different sets of numbers. Where
new houses are erected applications
for water, gas or electricity must
furnish the proper number before
receiving permits which is done to
check the owners of premises in Sc
curing the numbers.

COMPARISON SHOWS ITALY
IS STRONGER THAN GREECE
BY NEA Service

WASHINGTON = What would
happen IL Greece fails ito give salts
faction" for the killing of Italian
officers on the interallied commits
sion for elimination of the Albanian
frontiers?
How long could Greece last
against Italy. provided no other ma
ton came to the formers aid?
Many experts think not long.
A few hours could take the we'll
equipped Italian navy through the
Ionian Sea and into the harbor of
Piraeus, the defense of Athens,
Greek capital. And a few well-di-
rected shots would, these experts
! think. end the war.
Italy's peace-strength standing
army consists Of 10000 men. But
It has a well-trained, e~ver-ready re-
serve of more than TWO and a quar-
ter million men. Its military service
Is compulsory.
Greek Army
J Like Italy, Greece compels her
young men to enter the military
service. It commences in the 10th
year and lasts for the long period Of
81 years. The normal term in the
dClAN6 al NY III &C JEdl6 - tLE
cavalry and two for the iniailly v,
followed by 81 years in the first
serie of the reserves and eight in the
second serie.
The approximate strength of
Greece's army is 100000 men. But
in it's reserve are nearly as many
thousands as in that of Italy. The
exact number is not available.
On the sea. italy can boast of the
following: First line light cruisers,
2 of 5000 tons; destroyer leaders, 6
of 1920 tons; first line destroyers.
IL of 1850 tons: first line SUBJ
marines. 4 of $500 tons. Fleet sub
marines, none.
Greece is far removed from italy
in naval strength It has but three
first class capital ships. It also has
13 destroyers, 6 modern torpedo
boats. 2 submarines and a variety of
miscellaneous craft. To these have
been added the former Austrian de-
stroyer Ulau, and Z torpedo boats,
now used for police duty.
Italy Controls Air
Aviation is certain to play a big
part in any such war. Here again
the Hellenfr forces are overwhelm-
ingly outnumbered.
Italy's active air forces include
80 first class army and navy squad
rons, with $40 first class fighting
planes and 5000 men. Besides this
force, there is a large reserve.
Owing to the revolution, etc, the
Greek aviation strength is woefully
weak. The aviation service boasts
about 100 officers and less than half
that number of planes, many OF
them almost obsolete types.

Gallaudet's baseball squad started
light practice this week and will
begin real work tomorrow. There
are twenty-five men out for places
on the squad this year, and what
kind Of lineup can be cleaned from
this number remains to be seen.
The Kendall Greeners will have
to look to the new class for a back

behind the bat last year, is not
back. There ts also a hole at the
first-base station that will likely be
plugged with new material.

NAVY LEATHER
PUSHERS BEAT
PENN RINGMEN
annapolis Boxers End Fourth
Season in Ring With Unfair
nished Record.

A NNAPoLIS, Nd, March To-
~ With q victory IN the boxing
ring hardly won over the clever
and hard-fightfng men OF the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania, the boxers
Of the Naval Academy finished their
fourth season without q defeat and
seized beyond dispute the title Of the
supreme college boxing team OF the
year.
The match was close and there
was not a bout excepting the IT'S.
pound class, I'm which Lukes. Of the
visitors, had rather an easy time
with Cromillin. who took the place
of Oregan, the Navy captain, in
which the decision was close and in
doubt until the judges had given
their decision. Penn made noble
fight and the match depended upon
the decision In the unlimited weight
class, which brought two magnificent
men, Mathews, of Navy, and Crowell,
of Pennsylvania, together. These
powerful young athletes snapped
punches in the gamest kind of man
ner and showed no little acquaint.
ance with the fine points Crowell
had the advantage of height and
reach. and the Navy man, realizing
it, bored in from the start. Upon
the whole, he had the better of the
exchanges. though two rounds were
very close, and earned a decision
through his undoubted superiority in
responsiveness.
Probably the most honor In a
match in which honor was due gem
orally was won by Lyons, who
started the match by defeating
Lukes, the Penn captain, fighting
his first bout in the 16O-pound
class. Lyons met the Pennsylvania
captains swings by straight left
and right punching and clearly out
boxed and outpointed him in the
first and last round. The decision
gave great encouragement to the
Navy. Oregan, the Navy captain
and 175-pound boxer, was not able
to go on tonight because of rheu-
matism in the knees combining him
to the hospital, and CrommflIin was
no match for the Penn captain after
the latter had rested from his first
bout.

Except for the iIiter-ctty game BE

the selection Of an all.high cast,
the court season fades out OF the

ball and other outdoor games. And
basketball will pass out for . year
with everybody picking different
lineup in the mythical lineup.
The Herald selection for the
honored cast Is based on consist.
ency and teamwork rather than
|brilliancy in one department or the
other. The selection, in our opin-
ion, with week or two OF prac-
tice, could spot any team in the
series about Is points and win by g
healthy margin. That Is provided
the team is tutored by . heady
coach.

FRISBY AND CARRIER.
Now for the forwards. A pair
of Western athletes Ray CARRIER
and Paul Frisby-win the choice.
CARRIER Is q natural born basket
baller. F'risby, while he does not
possess the natural ability of his
side-kick, has a fighting heart and
eagerness to learn. In addition, he
is q ''teamer."
1t would be a waste of pink pa
per to explain why CARRIER Is Sc
lected. This kid" can cut, he
knows when to cut and he. has the
ability and speed to free himself
at any time to work into a posi-
ton. to toss. His only fault, II 1t
can be termed fault, is the fact
that he does too much passing. He
would rather feed than take
shot, even though he may be In q
position to take a smash at the
cord. None Of CARRIERS court pals
will ever accuse him Of acting as
though he owns the ball. He's
willing to get rid OF it at any
time when he thinks the others are
In a better, spot to toss.
Frisby earns his position because
he is smart and dandy team
worker. He lacks the court polish
exhibited by several Of the others,
but. he Is a valuable man to have
sticking in the. lineup. He, too, is
a good teamer and is usually at
the right spot at the right time.
1t takes basketball brains to do
this. Frisby covers a lot OF space
in a game. He is burdened with
the responsibility OF directing q
combination Of inexperienced talent,
but he got away with thek job like
the born leader that he is -
