ITALY SOON TO HAVE
4)5,40ET0N NAVY.
Strength in Submarines Will
Be But Little Less Than
U. S. and British.
T.. the Associa ted Press.

E the Associated Press.
ROME, May 2l.--Italy's decision to
lay down $4,000 tons of fighting ships
within the next year, decision an
nounced week after the close of the
London disarmament conference, will
give this kingdom an effective navy of
405, 400 tons.
Four cruisers, two each of the 8-inch
and 6-inch classes, and one large sub
marine recently were launched. They
totaled $4,000 tons.
The program for the year includes %
submarines four of them being of the
1,39O-ton class. When this program is
completed, Italy will have 81 subma-
rines, equivalent to $4,000 tons. This
figure puts her only little behind the
greater powers-America, England and
Japan-who agreed at London to keep
their submarine armament to 52,70O
tons each.
Italy declares she has need of these
submarines because OF her long coast
to protect her cities along the coast,
such as Naples, Genoa and Venice,
from attack by enemy warships.
In 1922, when Mussolini came into
power. Italy had global tonnage of
10000 in fighting ships. In the first
few years of his regime the Duce was
busy consolidating his power internally.
Then he turned his attention to the
navy. In the 7la years of his incum-
bency 114500 tons of war craft have
been launched, bringing the present
tonnage total of ships actually on the
sea to 304 500.
In the various ship yards of Italy
$500 tons are under construction.
This rapid growth has brought cries
Of italian imperialism" from abroad
But the italians point out that all their
construction is destined for defensive
purposes-su for instance.

MIAMI BEACH Fla, March 3.
BASEBALL has been charged
ID with a lack of showmanship,
but the indictment is not true OF
the Yankees under the combined
auspices Of Colonel Jacob RUPERT
and Ed Barrow. with the believing
Babe Ruth as interlocutor.
Boring always has been regarded as the
last word in hip hip hurrah, but II looks
a. n the artfuI art has something to learn
from the diamond science. after all. Even
the erudite and clever TEX" Richard
would have envied the DomD and paEeantry

bravest hoIdouts in all the picturesque his

THERE will be more reporters
4 and cameramen at the Ruth
signing than Rickard saw on the job
when ne shared Johnson for JET
fries, and Dempsey for Tunney.
And, come to think Of it, there will
be a lot Of dough involved. A con-
tract calling for 100000 a season is
a shade better than President Hoo
ver's. The Babes signing no doubt
will be the signal for lot of well
meant and exuberant protests from
grocery store patriots from Dan to

Painted Post?
Other holdouts. whose total and aggre-

sulked IN their home tents and refused
to report for training. But the BAN never
1inched. He saw his waistline and he saw

rived In due course. he presented himself
to Manager shawkeg.
Perhaps the Babe felt that by
rushing into a uniform and grabbing
his favOrite bat ne weakened his
case with an exhibition Of over
eagerness. But the fact is that
Ruth loves baseball, and he never
was the trained diplomat to hide
that amour.
IVES, BAN may have appreciated
q that by presenting himself in
camp on time he was knocking
something like $4,000 off his yearly
salary. But the Babe had a duty
toward Shawkey, and the Babe right
out and did it. He didn't want to
embaTrass Bob. 1t has been bruited
about in the baseball market places
that Ruth really expected the job
that went to Bob. SnaWkey has
heard Of these rumOrs. The BAN
knows OF them.

about the matter. Buck Grouse OF
the Tribe catching staff who per
formed under the SoX banner last
year, has boosted Hoffman to the
skies and Corriden's training plans
will be damaged badly if Clarence
persists in staying away.
It's a good guess Hofman's con-
tract has not been received al
though Secretary Clauer says the
outfielder accepted terms by wire,
which virtually amounts TO signing
the papers in baseball.
Battery Reports
A Three-I League battery came in
over night, pitcher Elmer Ambrose
and catcher Ernest Lorber. Both
were employed during the winter
and obtained permission TO report
three days late. Lorber is a col
legs coach out in Kansas. Corri-
den now has four backstops in
camp-Sprinz, Grouse. Lorber and
Blanton. The last named is a rookie
from Kentucky who came to camp
just after a siege Of flu and as a
result is getting little work.
The Tribe squad now consists of
twenty-three players, and after
Hoffman arrives there is not likely
to be further additions until the
team moves north. Eleven pitchers
are in the party, four catchers, five
intielders and three outfielders, ex-
elusive Of Hoffman. The fact Cor"
riden is well supplied with hurlers
assures the others abundant hitting
practice.

Pitcher Vito Fillippo. out of the
Nebraska State League, failed to

that he will be turned back and the

Corriden takes sincere pride over
the manner his boys are hustling
and the assistance given him in
coaching by veteran players such as
Grouse, Burwell and Sticking. Cor
riden is both manager and coach,
and all help is appreciated.
Grouse is working hard with the
