Fields Defeats
Vincent Dundee
by United Press Leased Wire


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15.-
Jackie Fields, Los Angeles welter-
weight, was awarded referee s
decision over Vince Dundee of Bal
timore, after 10 torrid rounds at
the Olympic auditorium last night.
The decision was not popular with
the greater part of the fans, who
thought Dundee was entitled to a
draw. However, whatever shade
there was could only have been in
Fields favor.
Dundee started out at a rapid
clip in the first round but then
faltered. Fields rocked him several
times in the next few rounds. Dun
dee came back in the last four rounds
and made great finish, which evi-
IDENTIFY caused the fans to believe
he had evened things up.
Dundee seemed much fresher than
Fields in the last rounds and forced
the fighting.
Johnny Reisler was much under
past performances in the six round
semi-windup and Billy Blake had
little trouble punching him around
the entire distance.
After being knocked down three
times in the first round by a very
dark negro billed as "Snowflake, y
but known as Oliver Wright, Tom
Moore came back to win a populer
decision in the six round special.
Elias Contere defeated Michael
IIilland and Johnny Cruz beat Ray
Ciloz in the four FOUNDERS.

LEGION TO AID
MAJOR LEAGUES
GET PLAYERS
Will Organize Boys of
Country to Develop Ball
Teams.
BY BERT M. DEMBY

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The major
leagues have started their long dis
cussed campaign to mold the boys
of America into capable ball play
erS.
First definite action along this
line was taken here yesterday when
the advisory council of the Ameri-
can and National Leagues voted to
contribute $4,000 to finance the
American Legion S proposed Ma
tlonal Boys Baseball tournament in
which 100000 youths are expected
to participate.
The action came as climax to
several years discussion which has
ccntered around proposed plans to
furnish the majors with q larger
crop of rockies each year.
Baseball men are agreed that the
demand for good ball players now
is far greater than the supply. As
confirmation of their views they
point to the rookie crops Of the past
few years which have brought few
star ball players into the big
leagues despite liberal spending by
major magnates.
The Legion's plan was expected
to revive youthful interest in base.
ball. 1t has been pointed ont that
the popularity of other sports cele-
hrities has caused boys to turn
away from baseball. With the sup,
port of the major leagues the Le-
gion plans to divide the nation into
10 regions, six in the east and four
in the west. Boys teams will be
formed under the direction of the
1000 industrial legion posts.
The teams will first compete in
districts within their own states,
later meeting to select state
champion.
The state winners will then par
ticipate in 10 regional champion
ships. Eastern and western cham
pions will he selected next, the win
ners to meet in the final games.

struction work on this huge water
project.
In the course of their Colorado
River aqueduct survey work, Mul-
holland s engineers have travcrsed
and charted 10000 square miles OF
rugged mountain and desert country
between the river and coastal plain
OF Southern California. More than
$4,000 square miles of this region
had never before been crossed by
surveying instrument.
While this preliminary engineer
ing work has been going forward,
the cities of Southern California have
taken the first steps in the organ
ization Of metropolitan water dis
trict for the purpose of financing
and operating the aqueduct. Acting
IN the request Of number of these
cities the California Legislature in
1927 adopted measure known as
the metropolitan Water District
Act. In this act legal machinery is
set up under which non-cOntiguous
incorporated cities may join togeth-
or in the formation Of a domestic
water district.
Largest In World
As planned by Mulholland, the
Colorado River Aqucduct will be, by
! far, the largest domestic water sup
ply system in the world. 1t will be
260 miles long and will be capable
/ of carrying 1900 second feet o.
water. In other words, it will be
able to deliver one billion gallons
Cf water a day TO the cities in South
Crn California-enough water tt
meet the domestic and industrial
needs of 100000 people.
Construction of the Colorado
River aqueduct, Mulholland has
pointed out, is part of the general
program of river development as
provided for through the Boulder
Canyon project. In fact, it has beer
shown, the building of Boulder dan
| is a vital necessity, so far as the
aqueduct is concerned.
Plans for the aqueduct reveal thai
! it will be necessary to raise the wat
! er more than 400 feet in bringin,
/ it over the mountain barriers stand
ing between Los Angeles and th
| Colorado River. Power, made avail
able at Boulder dam, therefore, will
lie required to operate the pump
used in lifting this water.
Boulder Canyon dam also is need
ed to provide water storage in con
nection with the aqueduct project

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15.-While
George Godfrey continued to pum-

aration for his bout with Paolino

Basque opponent had not reached

As the Colorado now runs its unreg-
rlated course. the volumn of water
carried in its channel during the late
summer months is insufficient to
meet the needs Of the ranchers in
Imperial Valley. Thus, unless stor-
age is provided on the river, there
would be no water for the aqueduct
during certain periods of the year.
With Boulder Canyon dam erected,
there will be ample water for all
purposes, including the requirements
Of the aqueduct, engineers point out.
Surveys of the aqueduct project,
however, have disclosed that it will
require much more time to construct
this water supply system than it
will to complete the dam, once that
structure is underway. That a high
dam on the Colorado River must,
and will, be built in the immediate
future is admitted in almost every
quarter. Dire necessity is serving to
bring the actual construction of
Boulder dam nearer and ever near
cT.

GIANTS AND CUBS
PRY OFF Lid ON
BIG LEAGUE BALL
Teams Head For Train
ing Camps to Condition
Men for Long Season.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. - Two
potential National League pennant
winners were to inaugurate the 1923
training season today in widely sep
arated winter resorts.
Bent on getting the jump on their
rivals the Giants and Cubs were to
begin preliminary work at Hot
Springs, Ark, and Avalon, Catalina
Island, respectively.
Under the direction of Coach
Roger Bresnahan, the famous Giant
catcher of bygone days, the New
York battery men were to start
training in order to be in good con-
Gition when they report to Manager
John McGraw at the Giants train
ing camp proper at Augusta, Ca,
on March /.
With Joe Mccarthy himself on
hand to supervise the workout, an
even dozen Cubs were to begin the
training grind.
Taking care not make the same
mistake which cost each of them a
pennant a year ago, McGraw and
Mccarthy made plans to condition
their pitchers for 154 game cam
paign.
Faltering pitchers tripped both
clubs last year and the two leaders
took every precaution to prevent a
recurrence of the tINnble.
Giants Have Hurlers
Ia q
fort to strengthen their pitching
staff than any other team in the
league. They have acquired II
promising minor league hurlers and
at least five of them were expected
to add strength to the team.
Leo Mangum, who won 2l and
lost for Buffalo; Bill Walker who
won 10 and lost nine for Denver; :;
Jim Faulkner, who won 81 and lost
10 for Toronto: Ben Cantwell, who
won % and lost 5 for Jacksonville !;
and Arthur johnson who won -23
and lost nine for Fort Smith are
considered prize catches.
Virgil Barnes, Larry Benton, Fred
Fitzsimmons, Dutch Henry and Vic
Aldridge will form the nucleus of
the staff.
The Cubs will bank on practically
the same pitchers they did last year.
Root, Guy Bush, Sheriff Blake, Hal
Carlson and Bob Osborn are the
leaders. Pat Malone, who won 90
and lost IS for Minneapolis. is the
outstanding new conner. With his
arm well, Percy Jones, the left
handler, is counted on as regular.

New York, July o1 (UP)-Cupid has many darts, the bureau Of so- cial hygiene has learned, and every modern married man and woman has had at least seven love affairs.
 The bureau points out that of course there are couples that just have one great love affair and that there are others that have far more than seven.

 Total for 100 women-677 love affairs.
 Three women said their lives had been devoid of romance, ever though they were married.
 Twenty -nine husbands reported their love affairs had caused then 10 stray from home and 41 wivei reported likewise.
 The questioning revealed that wo. men reached the peak of their anna tory reactions between the ages O. 1G and 20 and men between thu ages of 2l and 22.
