GAMES
AT EASTERN
!. STADIUM
By GARRETT WATERS

Although this time of the year
reminds us of winter and nothing
but winter, the cold weather is
not keeping officials of the high
schools from thinking about the
springtime and the com / n 9
scholastic baseball season.
The latest is that the heads OF
the five schools in the high school
group have gotten their heads to-
rether and decided to play the
baseball series this spring at the
Eastern stadium instead OF at the
Central stadium, the past site for
the games.
Such q move is not altogether
new for the heads to decide about.
The baseball series was staged at
the Lincoln Park field two years
ago and in a fairly successful
manner.
Last year it was brought
hack to the Central stadium
chiefly because of the central
location of that site. But the
players, teams, coaches and
officials alike realized that
that place was not going to
do for another year, when
they got to thinking about 1t.
And why? Chiefly because OF
the short right field wall which
had hits upon hits going over 1t
and falling into the streets. Or
ficials found that it was costing
them plenty to supply balls for the
games becaue of the many going
over the wall and never returning.
Thus, the decision to play at
Eastern once more this year.
Eastern hasn't such long rlgnt
field but balls can be retrieved
after being hit out Of the park,
which has only a dirt field on
the other side of a wire fence.
And another thing, a player
can be credited with a real
hit when he socks one over that
fence. It won't be an ordinary
single because of the necessity
of ground rules. It'll be homer
and nothing else.
Officials have felt that the
onIy one drawback to the
Eastern Stadium was its dist
ance away from everything.
But realizing that a better
series could be staged on a
larger field, aided them in
deciding to shift the games
from the Central Stadium
to Eastern.
The right field distance of the
field, by the way, Is 81 feet
longer than Centrals.
With the thing all settled now,
the Central Stadium would be in
no condition to play the games
anyway, it is revealed. The
ground is all torn up, and will be
this spring, the baCkstop is not
in place, in fact the entire site is
far from one for a baseball series.
Eastern it'll be this year, then,
when the robins begin to sing
and the sound of the ball meet
ing the bat ring again. And with
enough interest worked UP the
series should be all that is wanted
when the players, students,
and everyone else connected, get
the feel of the new site.
And one more thing before this
yarn is brought to close. The
games will start at $3.50 o'clock,
the series will start in April and
the opening game is between
Tech and Central. but here is
the entire schedule:
April II, Tech VS.. Central; 81,
Business VS.. Eastern; "a, Western
VS.. Central %, Tech VS.. Eastern.
May /, Western VS.. Business; 5,
Central VS.. Eastern; 8, Tech VS..
Business; IL, Western VS.. Eastern;

Taylor. always a thorn in the
side of the best bantams and
featherweights in the world, will
come back to the scenes Of mis-
early triumps tonight. He meets
Fidel La Barba, the curly head
youngster who shocked the wise
men of Broadway no little a
few weeks ago by outpointing
Keed Chocolate at the fat odds
of 4 to l.
Taylor, following the retire
ment of Charley Phil Rosenberg,
as bantam champion, was named
to grace that throne by the
National Boxing Association. That
was a compliment that Buddy
liked but he couldn't keep the
title" because of increasing
weight. He went into the feather.
weight class and, there, as before,
he raised ructions with would-be
champions among the feathers.
When Jimmy McLarnin was
beginning his march to fame,
one of the first big timers that
he met was Taylor. They still
talk about that bout on the
Pacific coast. They called it q
draw but the fans thought
that Jimmy had won. He
made the plunging Taylor
miss so badly, that Bud took
several headers right out Of
the ring.
Taylor defeated Jimmy on
points. Twice after that and
VIXEN Jimmy came up into the
big money, poor Buddy had to
sit by, almost in tears, for unlike
McLarnin, Buddy remained hardly
more than a batam.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-12-09
By ANDRUE BIRDING

LEGHORN, Italy, Dec. 9.-Italy is measuring paces with England and Germany as a constructor of warships for other countries.
 Eleven nations, including four Latin American countries, have a total of A ships of war under con- struction or just completed in ten Italian shipyards. These range from cruisers to submarine chasers.
 When Foreign Minister Grandi, in a recent speech to the Senate, said that shipyards of this kingdom have reached so high point of ef- ficiency that many foreign states were giving them important orders, he was summarizing what was only gradually becoming known.
 In the last several weeks two light cruisers built for Argentina the "Almirante Brown and the "25 de Mayo"-have been tearing up and down the coast undergoing speed and firing tests. Ships of $500 tons each, they make B knots easily.
 They carry three turrets for twin 190 millimeter guns, six turrets for twin 102 milimeter cannens, six anti-aircraft machine guns, six tor pedo tubes and a catapult for sea- plane. One was built here and the other at Sestri Ponente.

LONDON, Dec. S.-AnOth- CT thick fog which has visit ed London frequently during the past ten days, dropped down again t Oday plotting out landmarks, hampering communication.
 Railroad, highway, river and coastal traffic is at a standstill. The day is prac- tically as dark as at night time.
 Two persons have been kill ed here and several injured as the result of collisions due to the fog.
 Afternoon reports received here state the fog is extend ing all over E n 2 l q n q anu along all coasts.
 Ocean traffic is tied up, de- parting and arriving. People are fearful of the results of the fog, believing poison will be spread as in the Mouse Valley in England.
 Authorities are attempting to inform the pOpulace not to fear as records in previous years have shown no deaths have occurre from such causes.

 May was 63 years of age and his son Eugene, 15. The son was badly injured when he opened the pack age.
 The windows throughout the en- tire 40-suite apartment building were shattered by the blast.

WOMAN IS'F0UND GUILTY; KILLED STEP DAUGHTER

DENVER, Col, Dec. 9.-A District Court jury composed of 12 men named Pearl OLoughlin the slayer of her ten-year-old stepdaughtel Leona. M
 Judge Hanley A. Calvert immedi- ately sentenced the woman to life Imprisonment.
 Mrs. OLoughlin was sad but hardly showed any emotion during the ten days of the trial.
 She walked unassisted to the prisoners dock when sentence was about to be passed.
 Leona was struck over the head with a tire iron and then thrown unconscious into Berkeley Lake on October IA.
 Leo OLoughlin, father of the girl, and member of the Denver detective force, was taken to the hospital two days later suffering from allegedly ground glass in his food.
 The State contended collection of life insurance was the motive for the crime.

ITALIAN YARDS IRE NOW BUSY BUILDING
 NAVIES FOR OTHERS

Other Latin American orders in- clude Brazilian submarine built at Spezia and already consigned. It has 1868 tons surface displace- ment, 1854 tons submerged. Para quay has two gunboats, each of 845 tons, under construction at Sestri Ponente. Uruguay is having built at Monfalcone a floating dock.
 Turkey is a consistent customer. She has nine warcraft on the ways in Italy, two submarines. four tor pedo boat destroyers and three gum boats.
 Rumania is paying for two tor pedo boat destroyers of 1900 tons each, one submarine of $50 tons, and mother-sh for submarines of 2,300 tons. Greece has ordered four torpedo boat destroyers. in pairs of 1,250 and 1,450 tons each; Persia four pursuit craft and two gunboats; Albania five submarine chasers; Egypt a government yacht; Russia three ships of 500 tons each.
 The total contract price of this small navy runs to many tens of millions of dollars. Thus Italy's trade balance is bettered consider ably, for her battleships are as much articles of export as her olives or tomatoes,
