COMETS LOSE
AS BALL IS
SQUASHED

Steam rollers seemingly are the
nemesis of juvenile baseball ambi.
tions in Washington. At least
that's what the Comets under
Manager Luis Lutz's eagle eye de-
clare.
Following the plant of the Co
lumbian and the Euclid players
in the Midget division that their
baseball was steam -rollered Satur-
day, young Lutz asserts with fiery
emphasis that his team also lost
their game to the Aces in the
Pewee class by the score y. 8 to 6
because the two league balls
bounced over the catcher's head
under q steam roller, where they
died a wheeling death. Those
nearby declared they wers decid-
edly touched by the pathetic
scruntch of the kid-covered pellets
as the cruel rollers flattened them
into Aunt Jemima's pancake
shapes.
Ball Lost Timely
Young Lutz declared the Aces
had along a live ball which they
snacked right Justify but which
they conveniently lost when the

GOLDEN BEARS
IN 9TH TRY

Today's Poughkeepsie regatta
marks the seventh time that a
varsity crew from the University
of California has been entered.
California's junior varsity crew,
which will also compete, is the
first Golden Bear jayvee crew en-
tered since 1927.
The California varsity crew has
been shifted about quite a bit
and an average of five and one
half pounds per man has been
added to the eight in prepara-
ton for the long four-mile race.
1t is expected that the crew
will be much stronger at POugh-
keepsie than it was against
Washington in its recent race,
when the Bears finished a
length behind.
In the six times that a Califor-
MIA varsity crew has rowed at
Poughkeepsie it has been victor
ious in one race, the 1923 one
in which it set a new record. The
California junior varsity crews
have never finished first on the
Hudson, although they have been
up with the leaders both times it
rowed, finishing third and Sec
ond.
Following is the complete rec
ord of California varsities at
Poughkeepsie:

OUTPOINTE
TWO BEST IN
DIVISION
By JACK DEMPSEY

Battling Battalino has de-
veloped into the kind of fellow
who puzzles all the experts Of
the ring-and those who aren't,
In his pre-championship days,
Bat set no worlds on fire. He
wasn't much Of a puncher and
lacked science. All he had was
a stout heart, a non-shatterable
chin, an oaken stomach, and
mighty courage. He'd bore in.
swing, clinch, and then trade
with the other fellow.
When Bat became feather
champion by defeating Andre
Routis on points in a IS rounder
in 1929, the general idea was that
sit was one of those things" This
suspicion seemed confirmed when
the Bat was ingloriously battered
around in non.titular matches
which followed.
Lew Massey beat him in 1890
IA 1O-rOund decision. So did
Bud Taylor. He lost twice to
Cecil Taylor. Then Roger Ber.
nard took him for a 1O-rOund
ride in Detroit. After that he
'blew" one on q foul to young
ZaZZarino.
Not much Of a champion, this
Battalino-no, sir, not much, they
all said. Couldn't be much, losing
six non-title bouts in a single sea-
son. "A cheese champion"-they
hung that on him. And added:
when he dares to risk his title
he's through"
Beats Kid Chocolate
At last Bat dared" He agreed
to mix it with Kid Chocolate for
the featherweight championship
lis rounds in New York. This,
the wise men all said, meant the
finish of Bat as king of the 1885,
Founders. for in Chocolate he was
meeting one Of the most sensa-
tional of feathers.
Well, Bat, "the cheese cham
pion," met the Cuban, and, to the
surprise of the mob, gave the Kid
a decisive beating. After which
the boys decided to discard the
cheese" nickname.
Later-On May 22-Bat met
Fidel LaBarba, rated as the
cIaSsiest Of featherweights. 1t
was going to be just too bad for
Bat.
The gamblers offered 3 to l
against his chances. Few backed
Bat. They figured that LaBarba
was too fast, too smart, too clever
and too great a hitter for Bat.
Whips Fidel LaBarba
And then Bat "the man who
has nothing at ALL" beat the great
LaBarba. He made Ffdel look
bad-and worse than that. He
took all that Fidel had and never
stopped charging in, both fists
were pumping as he went.
AS a fighter. Bat is colorless.
In action he is awkward. He
never pretended to be a hitter
and scorns this thing called de-
fense. He lacks the thing called
"clasS." But he beat Chocolate
and LaBarba, his ranking chal.
lengers, and that makes Him
great champion, even if he
doesn't look it or act it.

SLUM LIVING HABITS PERSIST IN ENGLISH
 cITY,S NEW HOMES

SHEFFIELD England, Oct 30.- Families moved from slum areas to new homes don't always manage to pull their standard of living up at the same time, Sheffield has found.
 Nearly 300 slum families were moved into new quarters and in- vestigation of the circumstances of 100 of them has led social work CTS to conclude that 30 per cent are again living under slum condi- tionS.
 Ten per cent show a definite inn provement, their success in living up to their new surroundings being characterized as amazing" The others are dcing fairly well"
 The best result was definite inn provement in health. Infant mor- tality was exactly half that in the slum area.

SURVEYORS ON YAK0BI RETURN
 FROM ARCTIC
Voyage of Five Months Is Successful and for Most
 Part Pleasant

From a five months voyage that extended from Juneau as far north as Point Hope, 200 miles south of Point Barrow, the power boat Yakcbi, Capt. Thomas Smith, re- turned to this city last night, re- porting a successful and tor the most part pleasant cruise The mission of the craft was to take a party Of five members of the Bu- reau of United States Public Sur veys along the sou Invest and northwest coasts to prosecute iyil engineering work at various places | ashore.
 Those that made the voyage be- sides Capt. Smith were Floyd Betts, survey chief; Thomas Mo Carthy, Forest Gardner, Leonard Berlin and Carl Collen. The route from the Pacific to the Boring and from the Boring to the Pacific was through False Pass.
 Sites for Schools
 Most of the surveying work was in connection with sites for federal government schools for Indians. Ice flocs in Boring Strait force the Yakobi in Russian waters clcse to the o.oerian shore, but none of the party landed there. The smaller Diomedes IS.and, which is in American waters, was visited, as were also King Island and Cape Prince of Wales.
 On the coast of Seward Penin- sula large herds of reindeer were seen. In the Boring great num- bers of fur seals were encountered. In the Arctic, walrus and man. moth flocks of Northern birds oc- cured with frequency.
 Ivory Market Poor
 "The Indians and Eskimos of of Alaska feel the effects of world wide business depression" said MT. Mccarthy For instance the in- habitants of King Island, who have outboard motors in their skin boats, could not market their carved ivory in Nome at good prices this year, and natives elsewhere were unable to dispose of their furs to advan- tage this season.
 '"The most primitive condition z Indian or Eskimo life in Alaska, I think, is at Nushagak, on the coast of Bristol Bay, in the Ber- ing. They arc isolated. Their mode of existence apparently has not changed in hundreds of years. In places in the neighb,rhood of Nushagak, none of the inhabitants can understand or speak any Eng lish
 Navigated Shallow Water
 "The Yakobi proved to be very serviceable for our voyage. Her light draft enabled her to navigate shallow shore waters at places where we wanted to land.
 Stormy weather was unusual. Our worst shaking up occurred as we were crossing the Arctic Cir cle going north"
 Capt Smith commented on the need of surveys of tidal currents.
 Coastal and water surveys have been rather extensive" he explain cd, but there are no current sur veys at all They would be great ly appreciated by navigators."

 Owing to construction neceSsi- ties, and other reasons, the pro gram will not be shown Monday, which limits your opportunity pro- bably to Sunday night only.
