Although they out-hlt thelr oppo nents to the " batters blew their game to the American Legion on misplays three of the winners in a row after two were out in the fourth inning and consequently forced in the run which later proved to be tn" margin of victory.
 The losers were constantly ma king errors when the winners had men on bases and this led to their defeat although during most of the game the team played d fine brand of base ball. II seemed as though luck was against them and they were helpless when they should have been strong.
 In the hrst four innings it ap- pcared as though the Y would walk off with the game but as the innings passed the team lost it's punch and folded up.
 An error by Capodice gave Hayes life in the first inning and placed him in a position to score the initial tally when SqullaCiote singled. Singles by Berlin and V. Matis which were followed by double to left by Hayes gave the losers two more in the second. The Legion had not scored by this time and neither team registered in the third.
 4 one base blow by Berlin fol- | lowed by a pass and an infeld out put the hitter on third from where l he scored when SqullaCiote hit safe | ly. The winners put two over in the last half of the frame on an or TOT. d single by Schmarr a sacrifice | fly and four consecutive passes. 1 One hit and bunch of misplays Of all descriptions gave the winners three more in the following frame. The only thing that stopped the Le- zion at this time was splendid double play ny the Ma'is brothers W hen the left fielder nailed a fly in left field and caught a runner at the plate who was scoring on a sacrifice fly.
 A pass to Capodice in the seventh and wild throw 10 second by F. Matis in an attempt to catch San stealing that allowed the latter tc reach third base, and an infcld out gave the winners their final tally.
 Linnehan pitched much better during the late innings than he did al first. In the last five frames h, allowed only ono hif. Ho famed ten.

MIAMI, Florida. Oct. 15.--Drain- age ditches overflowing from re- cent heavy rains have caused an enormous lake to converge on the lowlands near Miami and other sections in Southeast Florida.

CHINESE SPECULATORS TURN FROM
 LONDON MARKETS TO WALL STREET

and fortunes are made and lost en it overnight.
 And it is purely speculative. No one either takes or delivers gold bars, but buyers and sellers alike must cover their transactions on or before the 18th of each month. On the average 100000 fictitious gold bars change hands daily.
 In the course of year many 9 rich man has lost his all on this exchange while clerks and even of flee boys have made huge sums. A striking example is that of youth, just out of school. He had $200 but no prospect of job, so he started speculating Today he is multimillionaire and still trying to double his capital.
 There is another story going the rounds, equally interesting and pos sibly more significant. Three years ago a Chinese clerk, who was earn ing $15 a month in one of the foreign banks of Shanghai, noticed that gold bars were fluctuating between 330 and 450. He had $35 as capital but within three months he was worth $100,000. Then he quit his job and began plunging. Recently he plunged into the Whangpoo river. He had lost every penny.
 The other five exchanges in Shanghai are similar in character They are all crowded from the opening each day until the clos ing hour and the spectators range in station from clerks to bank presidents. All are opportunity seekers" a la mode.

ALASKA BRANCH. OF BUREAU M Ay BE MOVED HERE
Transfer of Bureau of Edu- cation Here from
 Seattle Indicated

Transfer within few weeks of headquarters of the Alaska Divis- ion of the Federal Bureau fo Edu- cation from Seattle to Juneau is indicated in an Associated Press dispatch received by The Empire today, and confirmed by advices received by Gov. George A. Parks.
 The Governor said he had been asked by Jonathan Wagner, Chief of the Division, to secure tenders on office space here for his of ficial quarters, and has submitted him floor plans and rental figures in 1900 feet of office room.
 Organization Planned
 The Empires advices from the Associated Press at Seattle, said:
 Reorganization of the Federal Bureau of Education by Commis- sioner William John Cooper will probably mean the transfer of the Seattle office to Alaska, is the be- lief of Jonathan Wagner, Chief of the Alaska Division, United States Bureau of Education, with headquarters in Seattle. MT Wag- her has just returned from Wash ington where he conferred with Dr. Cooper about the prospective reorganization.
 Juneau probably will become new headquarters of the Alaska Division, it is believed here. The Purchasing Department pr 0 b bl y will remain in Seattle when MT. Wagner is ordered north, it is also believed. MT. Wagner said he did not know what other agen- cy the administration of the Alas kan educational system could be turned over to, and is inclined to the view that the reindeer and medical branches of the Alaska Di- vision might be turned over to some other Department of the Interior official for administra- tion."
 No Information Here
 No information is available here relative to changes in the Bureaus organization. It is known, how ever, that there has been some discussion of freeing the education al bureau from the burden of ad- ministering the reindeer activities for Eskimos and Indians, which are growing to substantial size and require a great deal of time and work, and, also, the medical relief work among those races that the Federal government is extending annually on larger scale.
 Commenting on the view ex- pressed by MT. Wagner, that these two agencies would be turned over to some other official of the h. terior Department, Gov. P ark said he had not received any off, cial notice of such action being contemplated.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 15.-The Chi nose speculator has discovered the New York stock market. It took him long time to find out that such place existed but now he has started to deal in American stocks and bonds, Shanghai hears less about prices on the London exchange.
 In recent months large sums have been invested in such stocks as General Motors, General Elec- tric, U. s. Steel and Radio. Accord ing to one of the local dealers in investment securities, this tenden- cy to forsake the European mar kets is becoming more pronounced daily. Clerks, shopkeepers, bank CTS and professional men are now switching to Wall Street.
 This sudden turn does not mean that the Chinese are just beginning to speculate. They have been spectators in the fullest sense of the word since time immemorial and in 1921 there were no less than 15o stock exchanges with total capital of s10o,OOo,ooo in Shanghai alone. That number has today dwindled to six, the Shanghai Gold Bar Exchange, the Stock and Bond Exchange, the Produce Exchange Chinese Cotton Goods Exchange Flour Exchange and the Oil and Bean Exchange.
 Missionaries in China call these establishments "g m b ling hells. The Chinese refer to them as Business emporiums. To the native mind, the man who specu' lates is not a gambler" but an "op- portunity seeker" And they art sincere believers in this logic.
 The Gold Bar Exchange is ths most important of the six. It + probably the largest speculative concern of it's kind in the orien'

TARIFF BILL CONTROVERSY
 TOUCH ISSUE
Means for Expediting Ac- ton Undertaken by
 Party Leaders

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-In face of the growing controversy on re- sponsibility for the sluggish pace of the Senate's tariff bill, party leaders have renewed search for some means of expediting action and bring the issue to final vote before the closing of the special session.
 A request has been made from the Republican sponsors that it's opponents cooperate in an effort to evolve some method of keeping the measure from running over into the regular session. This re- quest has led to continuation of conferences among factional chief tains.
 A general understanding is that debate be limited rather than as a definite agreement and this is regarded as promising solution of the problem.

DETROIT, Oct 15.-Experiments made by German scientists during the world war in the production Of a substitute for diamonds needed in the manufacture of precision in- struments have been taken advan- tage of to provide certain tools in American automobile factories.
 Developing the German experi- rnents American scientists have pro- duced a material so hard that 1t scratches glass like diamond and named it carboloy. It is a tung- sten carbide and has been called the hardest material ever manu- factured commercially by man.
 Harder than the hardest of high speed steel, it's ingredients are car bon, cobalt and tungsten.
 Carboloy is used in automobile

factory work to provide tips for steel cutting machinery in several precision operations. While ap- proximating the hardness of a dia- mond, carboloy is slightly less brit tie and therefore does not chip so easily.
 Artificial diamonds have been produced by subjecting carbon to tremendous heat and pressure, but the cost has proved prohibitive. Manufacture of carboloy also is relatively expensive, but only a very small piece is required-just enough to produce a tip. weighing six to 12 grams on a base of steel.
 It is possible with the new sub stance to hold cutting operations to within the limits of two ten-thous- Iandths of an inch,
