ISLAND GIRLS
 LOSE CONTEST
Juneau High Team Wins Second Game of Series
 in Exciting Tilt

The Juneau High School girls made it two straight over the.r Douglas rivals when they won from them IT to 13 in the open. ing game of a doubleheader play ed in the Douglas Natatorium last night.
 After the first quarter, which ended in a tie, the local girls were in the lead the remainder of the game. The feature of this contest was the support given the teams by the rooters. Most os the time the ball was in play the noise was deafening. and the game drew more interest than the boys game did later on. In this game. as in the second one, Douglas score stopped on unlucky thirteen.
 The first quarter was the most interesting one of the game, and was the only one in which the two teams played on even terms. Two field goals by Morrison and one by Burke brought the Juneau total up to 6 while the Douglas score tied this up as result of two field goals by M. Fraser and two conversions by R. Fraser.
 After the end of the second period, which ended Ii to z in favor of the Juneau team. the h. calls were in little danger, al though their opponents played hard. The two Douglas forwards displayed little of the aggressive ness and ability which they seem- ingly possessed in their last mix. up with Juneau. Berrgren went in for Morrison at forward and Morrison was switched to guard for Naghel before this quarter opened. Two field goals by Burke, one conversion by Berr. gren and one by R. Fraser was the only scoring in this part of the first half.
 The second half opened slowly, but with both teams battling for an opening. Juneau scored onre in this period on field goal by Burke while Douglas scoring was held down to a single conversion by M. Fraser. With the second game of the series rapidly slip

GANG CHIEF FALLS
BEFORE SHOTGUNS
Man Who Sought to Lead
italian Society Is Slain
on Chicago Street.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 27.--Shotguns
today eliminated one of the candidates
for the post held by Tony Lombardo,
head of the powerful italian society,
Unione Siciliana, who was assassinated
on Loop corner few weeks ago.
The man removed from further con-
sideration for Tony's job today was
Peter Rizzuto, 43, merchants In malt,
hops and brewery accessories. He
stepped out Of his Office near death
corner" in Little Italy with his 6-year-
old son, to be met by hail of bullets
from two sawed-off shotguns in the
hands of two assassins who fired from a
distance of 10 feet.
Throw Away Guns.
His assailants threw away their guns
and fed as Rizzuto's son rushed to his
side. He died on the way to hospital
Police pieced together fragments of
a feud that led to Rizzuto's death after
arresting several of his friends, rela-
tives and business associates. Lom-
bardo, head of the Italian society and
allied with the Capone gang was op-
posed by the powerful north side Aiello
brothers. After Lombardo's assassina-
ton the police said the Aiello brothers
groomed Rizzuto, friendly to both fac
tions, for the post
Aspiration to head the Unione Sicil-
lana has been dangerous task for sew
eral years, police said. "Samoots"
Amatuma, who longed to fill Mike Mer-
los shoes after Merlo's death four years
ago, was shot to death while sitting in
barber shop. Tony Genna, member
OF the now extinct Genna gang, also
had like ambitions and was bumped
of" on the street.
Shot on Street.
Lombardo finally succeeded In pla,,-
ing himself at the head of the organi-
zation, only to meet death as he walked
through a crowded downtown street.
Today Rizzuto, police declared, was put
on the spot" by one of the two oppos-
ing factions of the Italian organization.
There have been several other names
mentioned for the position, but Rizzuto,
police said, was the only one actively

Maintain Secrecy About
Proposed Flight.

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, October
27.-Secrecy tonight still surrounded
preparations Of Lieut.. Comdr. Harry
Lyon and the mysterious pilot with
whom he plans to hop tomorrow on an
attempted fight to Bermuda in an Ire
land anphibian plane.
Lyon, who navigated the Southern
Cross on its transpacific crossing, went
up in his open cockpit ship this after
noon for test flight. With him was
the pilot, whose name has been given
as w. A. Lancaster, but who refused 20
discuss either himself or plans for the
flight. Lyon was equally. uncommuni-
cative.
Veteran flyers pointed out that Ber-
muda flight at this season Of the year
was hazardous. For the first two or
three hundred miles, they said, Lyon
undoubtedly would encounter shifting
winds. In addition, the Autumn tenn
peratures might be expected to chill
the aviators in their open ship.
Reports last night were that Mrs
Keith Miller, an Englishwoman, who
few from England to Australia several
months ago, would accompany Lyon
and his pilot as passenger, but this was
another point on which the aviators
were silent.

tense was 11-year-old Shan Dunn of

gas masks, went through the lower
floors bringing out persons trapped in
their oflces, while other squads reached
the upper floors by extension ladders
from fire trucks Several dozen persons
climbed to safety down the ladders and
others we're brought down on firemen s
backs.
All Of those taken to hospitals were
discharged within a few hours. Be-
yond rasping coughs and temporarily
affected eyesights, physicians said they
would suffer no harm.
Within a few minutes after the valve
was blown from the tank when P. M.
Wallace, negro porter, picked it up
in the Office of L. H. Salters, sanitary
engineer, the poisonous gas had climbed
the elevator shafts and stairways and
invaded the Civil District courtrooms.

A crowd quickly gathered about the
courthouse building, and lines Of police
were thrown about the building to pre-
vent the spectators from entering.
Mike Millgan, jailer, whose ofiice is
near where the tank exploded, was
among the first to be overcome. He
revived on reaching the open air and
led rescue parties back into the jail to
administer to the prisoners. switching
on electric fans as he progressed.
Among other hero sufferers from the
gas was Moore, the elevator operator.
He brought down several loads of pas
sengers In his car before slumping over
the controls unconscious He was found
by flremen and sent to hospital.
Salter expressed the belief that the
high pressure gas container exploded
when Nftedl by Wallace. He ordered an
investigation, however, to determine If

catastrophe. The building was freed Of
