All the Athletic intield showed signs
Of wabbling at times last season. The
strength of the team in batting was
good and the fighting spirit was I'M
restrained in the early part of the
season. The pitching was good. too.
But toward the close of the season,
the factors that had been foremost in
helping the Athletics began to weaken.
and finally the intield Slumped. That
was the principal rea son for the Ath-
letics last big slump on their West
ern trip. They got back home with a
faint ray of hope still remaining. but
they could not regain their stride and
the pennant was waited away.
Mack would not he averse to going
into the coming season with two com
plete infelds, as Cobb did al Detroit
last season. At any rate. he is de-
termined to do all that he can to
strengthen his infield against a repeti-
ton of the 1925 disaster

PROSPECTS ROSY FOR
 POST OFFICE GRANT
S225, ,00O Included in Bill Presented in Both
 Houses
tiEoRGE II. nfANNLNG

(Washiugtoit Bureau of %. B. HeraId.l
 Washington, D. C., Jan. s New impetus was given the proposal to make S225,000 of federal funds available for the extension and re- modelling of the post office building at New Britain with the introduce ton simultaneously in the senate and house of revised drafts of the El- liott bill providing for a comprehen- siye program of needed public build ing construction throughout the country.
 The measure was introduced fin the senate by Senator Bert Fernald of Maine, chairman of the senate committee on public buildings and grounds, while the similar measure presented 10 the house of represen- tatives was introduced by Congress- man Richard N. Elliott of Indiana. chairman of the corresponding com mittee in the house. The two spon- sors of the public buildings bill are pressing for action upon it as soon as possible in both branches of con- gress, and it is expected that the measure will be passed in the near future.
 When the public buildings bill be- comes law, New Britain probably will be among the first cities of tho country to secure an allotment for the enlargement of its post office building. Three years ago, Secretary Mellon and the then Postmaster General Work outlined a program of construction in 40 cities including New Britain where new or improved public buildings were urgently need ed. It is generally conceded that these recommendations will be fol- lowed when the bill is passed, as the measure provides that the work of deciding what public buildings are most urgently needed, the prepara- lion of plans, estimates, specitiCa-
 tions, and the awarding of contracts shall be performed by the Supervis- ! ing architect of the treasury depart
 ment, with the assistance of the post office department, where post office | buildings are concerned.

ITALIAN TOWN ROCKED BY HEAVY EARTHQUAKE
Houses Damaged, Inhabi. tants Injured in Siena
 District

Siena, Italy, Jan. s Cpl-A score of persons suffered minor injuries and several hundred houses were damaged by strong earthquake shock, lasting twelve seconds, which rocked the countryside today. The entire population fled into the open.
 A large section of Tuscany was affected, particularly the region around Monte Amiata.
 The towns suffering most severely were Abbadia and San Salvatore, the center of the mercury mining dis trict, where three persons were badly injured and all the houses damaged.
 Other towns that felt the quake were Plan Castagnaio, Radicofane, Castel Del Piano and Arcidosso.
 The first shock was felt at lO:15 q. m. After a Hull the movement began again, but with lessened in- tcnsity. The prefect here mas sent several aides to the district to or sanize relief.
