might be obtained for the papers.
The Girl Reserves are scheduled

be presented to the club for its aP-
proval. Among the entertainments
which were suggested, the presenta-
ton of Girl Reserves ceremonials,
and a skit which would be entitled,
"a Day in the Hipass Camp, "
were the most popular.
Margaret Tondro was appointed
to consult with the wood shop in

(By United Press)


The eight teams of the Pacific

week of seasonal play today and

pect to have a better line on their
abilities and short comings.
Portland 3 Beavers, ranked by
preseason dopesters as the "weak
sisters of the league, will meet
Sacramento on the solons' home
field.
The Beavers, despite their alleged
weakness, took five games out of
seven from the highly touted Seals
last week and are determined to
keep up their winning streak.
Sacramento also is in tie for
first position, and while the Beavers
and Seals were crossing bats and
chasing balls the solons took five

Los Ahgclss, 5tile Fnthdf Glib tssd

by winning five t''of seven from

did not offer the Angels much com
petition and their real strength is as
yet unknown.
Los Angeles and Hollywood meet
this week at the former city, and
with the deadly rivalry that exists
between the two clubs Southern
California fans should see q good

INFIELDS CAUSE
MUCH WORRY TO
BIG LEACUERS
Injuries And Failure OF
Players To Make Good
Disrupt Lineups.

NEW YORK, April .. WH-In-
field worries are occupying the at
tention of several major league
managers in these last few days be.
fore the opening of the season, two
weeks from today.
Doubt still exists over the make
up of the infields of the Philadel'
phia Athletics, St. Louis Cardinals
Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates,
)fChicago White SoX and Brooklyn
Robins.
Connie Mack left the Athletics in
charge of his first lieutenant Eddie
Collins, with the infield still unde.
termined. Max Bishop at second
base is the only fixture in the A s
inner works.
Injuries to Shortstop Charley
Colbert, Second Bascman Carey
Selph and Third Rascman Fred
Haney have upset Billy South
worth's plans in picking the st,
Louis Cardinals infield.
Failure of Ieinie Soluble to
make the grade at shortstop has
complicated the Detroit Tigers
lineup. Bucky Harris is considering
moving Gehringer from second base
10 shortstop and taking Gehringer IS
place himself to round out the
Tigers infield.
Bill Cissell's erratic playing and
gI-Tation of training rules has Lena
s'ekbuene up in the air. The
E7zhte Sox manager has bcnchcd the
sl23,0o0 shortstop and probably
will start 1Iuncfield ut shortstop.
Donnie Bush's plight might be
worst but the scrappy little Irish.
man would hate To think so. Pie
Traynor's injury may keep the
Pirates captain on the bench and
force Bush to shuttle his infield
sround again. With Traynor on the
bench every place in the Pittsburgh,
infield is uncertain.

BODY OF MISSING HEIRESS TO
sSOO.OOO ESTATE DISCOVERED
Indications Point to Foul Play
in Mysterious Death Of
California Spinster
DISAPPEARED DURING JULY
Clothed in Mans overalls, De-
composed Body Is Found
by Rancher's Son

Fairfield. Calf. Sept. 20.-tP,-
Mystery surrounding the disappear
ance three months ago Of Miss Edith
Wolfskill, IS year old heiress to an
$00O,O0 estate, whose body was found
near her ranch yesterday. decpened to-
day as officers endeavored to deter
mine whether the woman had been
slain.
There were indications of foul play.
according to Sheriff John r. Thorn
ton, who said he was unable to ac-
count for the fact the woman's body
was clothed in mans ovcralls.
Hundreds Of Searchers had tramped
many times over the spot near creek
bank where the hciress' body was dis
covered by Donald Glashoff, IL year
old son of rancher.
Relatives said that Miss Wolfskill
under no circumstances would have
donned mems clothing. They said 1t
was possible that she had wandered
away from her ranch and died of ex-
posure but that theory was discount
cd BY officers. The body was in such
an advanced state Of decomposition
that q cursory examination did not
reveal the cause of death.
When Miss Wolfshill disappeared
last July relatives asked the author
tiles to search for her. fearing she had
been kidnapped or attacked and slain

passed through the district.

FRAYED NERVES, NOT

CAUSED YORK death
Wisconsin Killer Of North Oa-
kota Boy Enters Psniten-
tiary to Expiate Crime

Prayed nerves rather than any de-
sire to kill were responsible for his act
in Staying Ernest Doe, York filling
station attendant. Fred J. Pfafflin
told officials at the state penitentiary
Thursday. He was sentenced to life
Imprisonment for the crime.
Pfafflin said he quit his job as a
rural mail carrier last spring. He had
worked Oh the job II years and had
saved some money.
Going to Northern Wisconsin he
purchased 20 acres of land and built
a shack on it, working there most Of
the summer.
Then he decided that he would take
q trip and see North Dakota and
Montana for himself. He had heard
much Of farming opportunities in
those states.
Because he wanted to save his
money he slept in his automobile each
night rather than stop at q hotel. But
he didn't get much sleep. He was
tired and his nerves were jumpy when
he stopped at the York filling station
and asked Boe to put In three gallons.
When Boe flooded the tank Of his car
it seemed to be the last straw, he said,
and he shot Boe through the heart.
Pfafflin told authorities that he has
q brother who went insane but denied
that he has any mental ailments.
