PACHO WILL GET
HIS BIG CHANCE
WITH FERNANDEZ

A rugged, two-fisted youngster,
decidedly on the upgrade, against a
veteran who has had his chance but
is still formidable opponent, is the
lineup for the Bobby Pacho- Igna-
clio Fernandez fight here Friday
night.
Pacho's future is before him. He
can even take a defeat from Fer
nandez and still have long way TO
go in the roped arena, for only one
decision has thus far gone against
him in SO fights.
On the other hand, Fernandez Is
bound to do everything to ward Oft
defeat down in the sticks" from a
comparatively unknown boxer.
Fernandez has not made his long
ring record on paper. His victories
have been over tough men in tough
times, and his defeats have been
few, but even victories as well as
defeats have taken their toll from
him. Filipinos are notorious tor
burning up" in few years.
Pacho has never had to absorb
much punishment. He has proved
on few occasions that he can take
it, but generally he has made such
short work of his opponents that he
has not been called upon to stand
hammering.
His punching ability is his biggest
asset and If he can get in to Fer
nandez, he can make plenty OF
trouble for the veteran.

LAUNDRY TEAM
BEATS BRAWLEY

Avenging their previous defeat at
the hands of a Brawley team, the
Valley Steam Laundry five from Ell
Centre last night won a desperately
fought battle "a to 20 from the
Brawley town team.
The laundry's hard won victory
was due chiefly to the efforts of
Sheffield and Daniels in dropping
the basketball through the hoop.
The laundry had previously been
defeated by the Brawley high
school team.
The game last night was one of
the hardest fought of the season,
with the outcome in doubt until the
final whistle sounded the end of the
game.
Games on the local high school
court in the Industrial League to-
night will bring together the Gold
en- State Creamery and the Gilmore
Lions, while the Valley Laundry
and the Mack and Mack quintet
will tangle in the second contest
The first game will see both teams
battling for third place in the

FRENCH PREMIER
MAY END NAVAL
TREATY DEBATE

PARIS, Jan. 81. W.P)-One OF the
fortunate results looked for from the
new Steeg ministry is a possible
modification of the French naval
program sufficient to permit an ad.
justment with Italy. which would in
turn greatly strengthen the London
naval treaty.
The continuous efforts of the ex-
perts at various conferences and
private meeting to effect COM
promise had entirely failed until
the Tardieu ministry fell.
The British expert Craigie had
spent hours with the French ex-
pert Massigli, not only in London,
but later in Geneva, with no result.
The British Foreign Minister Hen
derson tried some quiet negotiation
with the Italian Scialoja during the
eleventh assembly of the League OF
Nations. The British expert Craigie
even went to Rome and this visit
conceded with the organization OF
the new cabinet which European
confidently hope will end the dead
lock, if the ministry lives.
With Sarraut in the ministry of
marine, opinion seems to favor q
possible compromise on the part OF
the French as regards new building.
1t is notable that the last Italian
offer allowed the French a superior
ity of virtually 100000 tons over the
Italian navy, but it was all in old
ships. The task of the new minis
try will be to make an adjustment
of this question.

MT. VERNON GROUP
IN PARIS HARD Job
Reproduction Nearly Done,
but Obstacles Great,
Architect Says.

The reproduction Of the Washington
mansion and buildings Of Mount YER
non. which will form the American
group at the International Colonial Ex-
position at Paris this coming Spring. is
now nearing completion and will be
turned over to the American commits
sioner general, G.. BaScom Slemp, for
the installation of exhibits on March
IS. according to reports reaching here
from France.
The project has been erected with
typical American speed despite the ne
cessity of teaching French mechanics
methods common In this country and
the dificulty of using old-fashioned
tools available at the Paris site, 1t is
reported by Charles K. Bryant, super
vising architect, and Gustave MeisSner,
agent Of the construction firm, who
have Just returned from France.
Tools Are Imported.
The likeness of the Mount Vernon
estate, they report, has been erected
with tools that in MANY instances were
hardly more advanced than those with
which the original Virginia structures
were built. For a part of the work or
binary hammers. handsaws and similar
tools had to be obtained from this
country.
THE contract was not let until
October IL five days later all the
framing and roofing for the first six
buildings. including the mansion, were
loaded and ready to sail, and November
actual building operations were under
way in France" Mr.. Bryant reports.
But We had to organize not only a
building project, but school as well.
We taught school for 80 days, with a
class Of between IS and 40 workmen,
showing them American methods. be-
leve this expedited the job at least so
per cent. Not only the methods but
the tools in many instances were unbe-
lievably antiquated, largely due to the
fact, perhaps, that there is little frame
construction in France.
Used Bucksaws.
1.-THE handsaws, for instance, were
Of the old 'bucksaw' type. such as is
found on the family woodpile only in
this country. Thus, it required two
workmen to saw 2-by-4 joist, one on
each end of the saw. The hammers had
no claws for nail pulling. If a nail
was to be pulled, a crowbar was used,
or large pincers. Mr.. Meissner promptly
cabled for saws and hammers.
"One thing that amazed them was
our method Of framing. assembling an
entire wall on the ground, raising 1t and
bracing 1t until the connecting thinkers
can be put up. Their framing is all
done piect neal, one timber at a time,
and the bfacing Of the work is some
thing entirely foreign to their procedul :.
As result, q heavy windstorm during a
frame building operation is likely to
level the entire job, as was the case
with two Of the units of the Beaux Arts
Building while we were there"
Sears. Roebuck & Co. is constructing
the exhibit buildings.
