SAN FRANCISCO, April g.
Again the season of pop BOTTLES, soft
seats for dime and the roar of
animated crowds is at hand. The
Pacific coast league swings into its
1925 schedule tomorrow afternoon.
Baseball once more is king of
sports.
In four coast cities crowds will
pack the grandstands. There will
be the customary floral pieces, band
concerts aud awkward toss of the
first ball by some dignitary.
Teams matched for the opening
games include Oakland at Sacra-
mento, Vernon at Salt Lake, Seattle
at San Francisco and Portland at
Los Angeles.
The 1925 season finds changes on
all coast teams. s'Old familiar
faces" are missing; new ones are
in their places, anxious to make
good. The critical fans are with
holding judgment, welcoming the
seasoned players they know and
waiting for the new ones to show
their wares.
The United Press asked man
ayers of tho teams for brief state
ments on the season Is prospects and
found them acknowledging that any
thing can happen and the next six
months may hold many Surprises.
cred" Kiliefer, manager Of the
Seattle Indians, winners of last
years pennant, is hoping for an
other victory.
"We had to make a whirlwind
finish last season to cnds in front

year will have to fight harder, =

Angels. I'VE have 8 good hitting

was weak in 1924, has been strength

Managers Optimistic
"Poftland will be represented by
stronger team than it had las.

ers' pilot "Thee absence of Poole
first baseman, and Jones, shortstop
hampers the team at the start.
T" The Vernon club has been built
almost entirely with young players
but we have stronger and faster
team than last year, believes Bill
Essick.
Ivan Howard, Oakland manager
is willing to ''let the other man,

content myself with predicting the
Oaks surely win finish in the first
division.
"You can say whether we have
any success or not, we VIII be in

ball games before next October, -
was the comment of Oscar Witt, Salt
Lake manager. "fg =

DEMOCRATS WHO BACKED
 UNDERWOOD ASSAIAED 
Senator Norris Indignant as senate Plllngcs Ahead on Muscle
 Shoals Plan.

Washington. Jan. 9.-With hardly d breathing spell after its action of yesterday in substituting the Under wood plan for the Norris government ownership proposal for Muscle Shoals, tho senate plunged today in- to renewed debate on the whole question when Senator Norris charg- ed thes democrats who supported Senator Underwood had voted con- trary to their party policies.
 The debate finally drew from Sen ator Robinson of Arkansas, the dem- ocratic leader, the remark that T don't have 10 take any definition of q democrat from Grumbling George"
 Senator Norris declared those who supported the bill were playing with those they denounced a few weeks ago. He declared the machines of both the democrats and republicans were in harmony on the measure.
 Democrat as l am," Senator Rob- inson replied, T do not believe the president of the United States de- serves 10 be charged, as the alleged republican senator from Nebraska has charged him. l defend Calvin Coolidge, the president of the United States, against the charge that he is a friend of crooks. As an American citizen and senator, l believe your president and mine is an honorable man. If a democrat means that must give myself and feeble powers to an unjust assault upon a political adversary. then l am not demo- crat."

HELPING ESkIMOS IN ARTS OF LIFE
Band of Pioneering Educators Laborins in Isolated Sections

Anchorage, Alaska, Jan. 9. - While public schools, universities and colleges in the United States are forging ahead into the+ winter terms work, widely scattered little band of pioneering educators in isolated sections of Alaska is laying the groundwork for the home education of Eskimos.
 Scarcity of manual training ma terial has resulted in the introduc- ton of the teaching of hair cutting, ivory carving. and iron work such as the making of dog chains, skates from old sled shoes, and knives from old files.
 Under a plan worked out by J. II. Wagner, chief of the Alaska bureau of the United States Bur- eau of Education, with headquar- ters at Seattle, and approved by pr. J. Tigert, commissioner of edu- cation. industrial schools are to be established at kanakanak, Bristol Bay, White Mountain. Seward Peninsula, and Eklunta, 2S miles north of here. Courses to be taught include:
 Animal husbandry Study of reindeer problems. with special at tention devoted to methods of slaughter and preparation of meat for cold storage and market.
 Fishing Operation of a small cannery, curing, smoking, salting and drying of fish.
 Ivory industry Making but tons, beads, and curios such as butter knives and napkin rings.
 Tannery -- Curing of skins and manufacture of leather.
 . Boat building - Construction of boats and operation of gasoline en- zines.
 Tailoring Particular attention to furgarments.
 Commercial - Training of typists. stenographers and man. agers and clerks for native coop erative stores.
 Carpentry, nursing and sanita- ton, household management and home making and music and folk dancing, with special attention to tribal dancing.

.SUMATRA YIELDS
 LONG.BURIED CITY
Strange Inscriptions and Build.
 ingS Found in East Indies

The Hague, Holland, Jan. 9. A romantic story of the discovery of an ancient unknown and unin- habited fortress city comes from Sumatra, one of tho largest islands of the Dutch East Indian archipe- lago.
 According to the Snmatra Post J. L. Hiemstra. forestry official journeying in the Upper Langkat region, reached point beyond which the native guides were re- luctant to proceed. They talked of 8 nearby silent city which they had once seen from afar, but never dar- ed approach, as they imagined it to be haunted by evil spirits.
 Hiemstra, however, pushed on with a small party and eventually reached a sheer wall of rock of great height and some miles long, with natural bastions and inaccess- ible except at three points, by one of which the explorers entered.
 They came upon q veritable maze of intercommunicating alleys, pas sages, chambers and cave dwellings. In the center of this fortress town was found a large open space with one huge solitary tree. There were inscriptions in strange characters. and remains Of what seemed an- cient tombs, Silence brooded over the place, and although traces of wild mountain goats were observed, not human soul was seen.
 Who the ancient rock-dwellers were and why they abandoned their impregnable stronghold remains a mystery.
