MACK EXPLAINS THEORY

Manager of Philadelphia Athletics Depends on Colleges 10

Princeton, \. J., Dec. fl CP--- Connie Mack, manager of the world champion Athletics, planes year round discussion of and interest in football for waning interest in baseball among university under graduates" according to an inter view which The Princetonian, V student daily, published today. MT. Mack further pointed out that pro- fessional baseball's general ban of golf among ball players was due to fear Of the same thing-that the players would begin to talk of noth- ing but golf. The physical damage of golf, he added, amounts only to leg fatigue which is not serious. The seven-time winner of the American league pennant told the princetonian that a large measure Of dsintercst in baseball had it's be- ginning in the fact that the college game, at it's height in the late eighties and the early ninetics, be- gan to detcTioratC in quality. He urged colleges and universities to obtain the best possible coaching as the first step in reviving interest ill baseball on the theory that an im- proved game would better enable the spring sport to compete with year round football,
 "Without the backing of the campus" Mr. Mack continued. "baseball players lack spirit. The support. revived, could help college baseball greatly.
 I'm not in favor of signing a college baseball player for profes- sional ball until he has been gradu- ated. I'm strong for the boy who goes through college, and begins his professional career after receiving his diploma

FUR FARM BILL.
 FAILS TO PASS
 LOWER BRANCH
Experimental Fur Farm Project Loses Out by
 Margin of Single Vote

The House yesterday afternoon defeated MT McCain's amended bill to establish an experimental fur farm. The supporters of the measure lacked one vote of having enough to pass it, the final vote being eight for and seven against it, one member being absent when it was taken.
 Originally the measure sought to locate the farm on the Alaska Railroad between Seward and Broad Pass. It was amended to ti2 the site at the Agricultural | College and School of Mines with MT. Mccain and other members of the Third Division strenuously protesting.
 Last Monday MT. Mccain led an effort to change the location to Anchorage. This was unsuccess- full On the final vote, he and other Third Division members, MT Nylen, MT. Shattuck and MT. zieg- Ter voted no. The Fourth Division delegation, three members from the Second, Messrs. Lomen, Berg and Woofter, and MT. Mccormick voted for it. MT. Winn was absent when the measure came up for action.
 Yesterday for the second time this session, the House rejected a measure appropriating money for the relief of Allen Crane. The first bill seeking to accomplish that purpose carried $500 and was beaten several days ago. The second measure, carrying an appro- priation of $1,200, was voted down yesterday nine to six.
 Four measures were passed by the House. One of these prescribes qualifications of attorneys seeking admission to the Alaska Bar, and creates Board of Law Examiners. Another directs the Territorial Treasurer to set aside $80,000 dur ing the current biennium for a Pioneers Home building fund. A like sum was set aside during the past two years.

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS ARE
 UP IN SENATE
Dimond Measure Establish ing Pension System Is
 Given Consideration

Teachers pensions were consid- cred by and large and at much length by the Senate Tuesday aft ernoon when it spent some hours in studying Senator Dimond's meas ures covering that subject. As drafted it is intended to establish system that will be self-support- ing except for the first year or two for which an appropriation of $3,000 is asked.
 AS amended, the measure re- quires teachers to possess an ag- gregate of 25 years teaching ex- perience, 15 of it in Alaskan schools. Voluntary retirement at the age of 55 and compulsory retirement at 65 are provided. Maximum annual pensions of $500 are con- templated, paid out of fund de- rived from tax of one per cent on teachers salaries.
 L. D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education, aided the committee in it's consideration of the bill. He pointed out that teachers salaries now reach the sum of about $400,- 900 annually and will steadily show an increase in the future. He thought the tax provided in the measure was sufficient to cover the needs.
 The Senate passed two House bills late yesterday afternoon. No. IT, MT. Shattuck, appropriating $2l ,O0O for payment of old age allowances for the current quarter,

 The House made short work of a long calendar this morning, pass ing two memorials and considering II measures in second reading, ad- vancing them on it's calendar for final action tomorrow.
 A House memorial requesting the Federal and Territorial road build ing agencies to adopt as theirs the road construction program endorsed by the Nome Chamber of Com merce, and a Senate memorial ask ing the Forest Service and the Territorial Road Commission to investigate the feasibility of build ing road from Craig and Kla- wock across Prince of Wales Is- land to Kasaan Bay, were passed.
 Appoints Committees
 Speaker Rothenburg today ap- pointed two committees on con- ference on two of the important bills on which the two branches are at loggerheads. One of these was the School Refund Bill, the Speaker naming Messrs. McCor7 mick, Shattuck and Lomen to the House.
