SEVEN ISSUES
ARE OF PRIME
CONSIDERATION
Sacramento Begins to
Buzz With Arrival of
Law Makers
By MYRON v. DEPEW
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Jan. s. With
legislators arriving on every train,
their baggage bulging with pro-
posals to be considered, Sacramento
today prepared for the opening OF
the 46th biennial session of the state
legislature which will convene Mon
day.
Some 10 or Is senators and assem-
b1ymen had arrived early Satur-
day and more were expected during
the day. The "early birds" spent
their time handshaking with old
friends and studying the various
problems scheduled to play promi-
nent parts during the session.
The peak of the influx is not ex-
pected to be reached until Sunday
when delegations from some of the
larger sections will hold last min
ute conferences.
AS has Been the case since the
election, both the administration
and nti-administration forces are
claiming control of the two houses.
The first test of strength will
come Monday with the selection of
the leaders for the two houses.
Frank Merriam, Long Beach,
speaker of the house at the last
session, is the administration 8
choice for the post again. He will
be opposed by Albert Rosenshine of
San Francisco. II
In the senate Arthur Breed will
have the support of the administra-
tion, his strongest opponent being
Herbert Jones of San Jose.
Of the numerous measures slated
to come before the two houses this
session the following are outstand-
ing:
1.-The child labor amendment
to the federal constitution.
2. The reapportionment Of
legislative districts.
The budget.
4. Revenue and taxation.
s.. State highway constrtlc-
tion and financing,
g.. Reforestation.
7. Water conservation.
Fight Looms on Child Labor
Practically all of the legislators
are in sympathy with the child labor
amendment, but its adoption in its
present form will be hotly fought by
an element which believes the gov
ernment has placed the age limit too
high and will seek certain qualifica-
tions of the amendment concerning
farm labor.
Reapportionment is favored chief
lv by the southern bloc which be-
lieves the south is not properly re-
presented at present due to the in
crease in population since 1910.
Governor Friend Richardson 8
message to the legislature is expect
ed to contain great deal concern
ing his budget plan. 1t is under
stood the budget will be somewhat
larger than the one covering the
past two years.
Assemblyman r. Hartranft of
Orange county, is member of the
delegation from his section which
will introduce proposal for a wat
er survey of the Santa Ana river
looking to conservation Of that see
tion's water supply and protection
from overflow.
Although it is understood some at
tempts will be made to "railroad "
certain legislation through at once,
the consensus of opinion is that the
last half of the session will be the
most exciting and strenuous.
The first half, which some pre-
diet will last not longer than three
weeks, will be taken up mainly with
routine bills, appropriations and
committee hearings unless something
unexpected happens to change the
praSent planS

MAY GET ATTENTION
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 3.-Challenges
hurled at the heavyweight champion
Jack Dempsey, by Tommy Gibbons
and Harry Wills may come before the
New York State Athletic Commission
for consideration at its semi-weekly
meeting today.
So far these defies have failed Of
either acceptance or rejection, but
with the reappointment of George E.
Brewer as chairman. the commission
may be expected to take definite steps
toward bringing about a decision in
the heavyweight ranks.
One of the principal items on the
commissions slate is the drawing of
opponents for the second round of the
lightweight tournament that is to
produce a successor to Benny Leon
ard. Tommy O'Brien of Milwaukee,
who injured his right hand in a bout
with George OK. o. CLANCY of Balti-
more, is very likely to draw a bye this
time, in order that the wound NAV
have time TO mend
Those who survived the first round
OF the American end of the tourna-
ment were: Jimmy Goodrich. Buff
falo; Tommy O'Brien, Milwaukee:
Clyde Jeakle, Toledo; Charley O'Con-
nell, Cleveland: Benny Valgar, New
YORK; SoHy Seeman, Brooklyn; Basil
Galiano, New Orleans. and Joe Benja-
min, California. Eddie (Kid) Wagner
of Philadelphia, reported to have been
reinstated last week after losing a
decision, evidently is out again, but a
dennlte announcement is expected to-
day.

SCHAEFER FAvORITE
TO WIN CUE CROWN

CHICAGO, March 3.-Young Jake
Schaefer. who In 1921 tore the 1872
balk line billiards crown from the
brow of the veteran Willie Hoppe,
has the best chance of the six com
petitors, including Hoppe, to take the
title in the international tournament
here.
The veteran Hoppe, champion, ex-
cept in 1921, for II years, relaxed his
grasp on his honors last night when
he was beaten by Edouard Horemans,
seven innings. 1t was his second de-
feat, having also succumbed to Erich
Hagenlacher, tied with Horsmans for
second place in the standings.
The Belgian led Hoppe throughout.
the champion never having the balls
under control until the sixth inning,
when he ran 81, his high for the eve
ming. Horemans opened with a 81,
added 121 in this fourth, made 6 in
intervening innings and went out
with high of 212.
Schaefer advanced his title claim in
the earlier contest by making Kane
kichi Suzuki, the Japanese, the vic
tim of his fourth victory, 400 to IT'S,
in ID innings.
Young Jake and Hoppe meet to-
night. If Schaefer wins, the title is
his. If he loses he will be tied for
the title with the winner of the Hore-
mans Hagenlacher match of the after
noon.

BEST AUSSIE NETMEN
ON DAVIS CUP TEAM


BY the Associated Press
LONDON, March 3.-Announcement
of the makeup of the Australian
Davis cup lawn tennis team has been
made here.
The team will consist of James o.
Anderson, captain: Gerald L. Patter-
son, and J. B. Hawkes.. The team will
sail for America June 4.
NEW YORK. March 3.-The selec-
ton of Gerald Patterson, James o.
Anderson and John B. Hawkes. to
carry Australians colors in the 1925
Davis cup contest indicates. in the
view of observers here, that the An
tipodeans plan a supreme bid to lift
the historic trophy, which has been
in Americas possession for the past
five years.
Patterson and Anderson rank close
to the top in the group of the worlds
leading singles stars. They have not
been together on the Australian team
since 1922, and If both are at their
best, the United States will face the
most formidable challenge it has had
since bringing the cup back from
Australia in 1920
In 1922 Anderson was i'll and far
below his best form, but in 1928 he
William Johnston in the first singles
match of the challenge round. The
next day he and Hawkes., who form
an exceptional doubles combination,
forced Tilden and Williams, Amer
ica's pair, to a record five-set match
before losing. The effects of that
gruelling contest told on Anderson,
however, and he was an easy victim
for Tilden in the final and deciding
days play.
Last season Patterson was beaten
in the challenge round singles by
both Tilden and Vincent Richards.
but he is always rated as a danger
Gus opponent O'Hara Wood shared
with Patterson the brunt of Aus
tralia's play in 1924. Like Hawkes.,
his forte is in doubles competition.

would be favored to dominate the
preliminary field and reach the chal-
lenge round, with Frances crop of
rising young stars likely to prove
the strongest opposition.

with his arm. 1t is a case of where
some of his other muscles fail him
and his arm gives out in sympathy.
Body and arm must work together.
If any other part of the body is
weak, so is the arm.
Should Keep Fit.
Youngsters taking pitching serious
ly should keep in good physical con-
dition in and out of season. You
can't neglect your body part of the
year without paying for it. Walter
Johnson is a fine example of a
pitcher who knows how TO take care
of himself physically. He is a great
out-of-doors man, and in the off
season tramps a good many miles a
day. Such care is one of the chief
reasons for his success on the mound.
The young pitcher should get as
much fresh air as possible. When he
is in good shape he can try out his
speed and curves. He'll soon find
himself able to stand the strain of
a full game. Let the training work
start with light tasks. These can
be gradually increased until the goal
is reached. Once you get in proper
condition it is easy to stay there.
Above all things, beware of getting
too fat. A little goes a long way
with ball player.

, fifth over his salary differences, lobbed
the ball in an easy manner, and also
took all the other stunts in the same
style. Mogridge's build is not con-
ducive to his acquiring any su-
perfuous flesh, and he, too, should
find little difficulty in getting into
shape.
The serious manner in which Spark
Plug Matthews started his condi-
tioning grind bears out his expressed
determination to stick with the cham
pions. Every toss of the ball, how
ever easy, seemed to have been given
thought before it left his hand. The
popular outfielder does not intend that
anything of his own making shall
interfere with his attaining the de-
gree of advancement which may earn
for him a regular berth with the clan
of Griffith.
Pitcher Rrillheart was once again
back in uniform. The young southpaw
showed no apparent i'll effects of the
layoff he has been forced to take, and
voices the opinion that he is ready for
continuation of Spring training.

linquents, who was induced by Clark

ways is pleasing TO an athlete in train

Memo Liebold got into camp before
supper yesterday completing, with the
exception of Rhinehart, the squad
ordered to report here Monday.
The Hot Springs squad arrived in
Tampa late this morning in good

discuss matters with Griffith, and will
remain for only q day or two.

Manager Branch Hickey announced
he probably will send Blades to a
specialist in San Francisco within the
next few days If the ailment becomes
no better.
The manager had announced that
Blades was likely to be the regular
left fielder this season and that he
had been showing up well.

The same is true of James Nc

Namara has breezed fast ones over

times. The spectators get their big
