GR|FF CHANGES
DATEFOR VETS

A change has been made in the
reporting date of the Griff reg
ulars, according to word received
by Eddie Eynon, secretary of the
Washington Club, from Prexy
Clark Griffith, sojourning in
Biloxi.
1t is that the infielders and out
fielders must report on March Is
instead of the original reporting
date of March Is. This will give
each regular" an additional three
days at camp, but it is Prexy
Griff's plan to offer his employees
that period to hold meetings" in
regard to signing contracts.
Secretary Eddie Eynon will rep
resent the Washington Club at
the John J. McGraw funeral to-
morrow. He will leave late to-
night.

And blowing through those
snowdriftS today will come a
host of old friends, old neighbors,
yes, and even old enemies, to pay
their last tribute to the man
whose name for 40 years was a
synonym for baseball.
Through the snowdifts they will
come, too, to carry a word of
coincidence to Mrs. McGraw who
for more than a quarter of a
century has been mother, coun-
Sellor and friend to hundreds
OF young ball players and their
wives.
No story of John McGraw could
be complete, none could give a
true picture of the man, without
mention of the splendid motherly
woman whom he always called
his inspiration, who stood by
him in every fight, who shared
his good fortune and i'll, and who
knew him as no other could.
Recalls Happy Years
Mrs. McGraw smiled tearfully
today as she recalled the years of
their happiness.
"JOhn," she said, chad the
mind Of a man and the heart
Of a boy. At the end he wasn't
q day older in spirit then when
he took charge Of the Giants 80
year ago.
Being Irish, he naturally
loved a good fight for the fight
itself, but when it was all over,
he was willing to forget and
forgive. He always tried to
leave the ball game in the park,
but 1 always thought every de-
feat took something out of him
just as every victory seemed to
add new ZeSt to his life.
Il don't think there was any
thing in baseball gave John such
q thrill as the antics of some of
the strange characters he man.
aged. No matter what he may
have said to them, when he
came home he would always tell
me of the latest adventure of
some player like Bugs Ray
mOnd, or Larry Mclean or Phil
Douglas. He always seemed to
have especial fOndness for them

SLOT MACHINES BANNED T FROM JUNEAU RESORTS

Eighteen slot machines, ten brand new ones and eight that have been collecting nickles and dimes in var ious resorts about Juneau for some time, were sent south recently, as the result of cleanup by the. U. S. MarshaPs office.
 Con Ellingson, agent for the ma chimes, was fined $100 by U. S. Com missioner J. F. Mullen on a charge of operating gambling devices, and given short time to ship the ma chimes south with the alternative of having them disposed of as junk by the U. s. Marshals office. Eight were already in operation in var ious resorts of Juneau and Douglas and the ten new ones had been ship ped north, but never left the dock, U. s. Marshal Mahoney said

(By The Associated Press)

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 20-The 200-inch mirror, worlds largest telescope which will provide the hu- man race with an "eye" to see ob- jects 400 million light years away will be placed on plateau and not atop mountain peak as are many of the great instruments now in use
 Selection of the site 45 miles north of San Diego followed exhaustive tests for atmospheric conditions and the examination of many proposed locations.
 Elevation Is $500 Feet
 Crews are building a road to the 160-acre tract whcih lies at an ele- vation of $500 feet on the slopes of Palomar mountain. The mountain reaches peak several hundred feet higher up.
 It may be four or five years be- fore the giant refiecting dick measur ing IT feet in diameter and cast at Corning, N. Y., is ready to pene- trate into the far reaches of space, but astronomers already are spec ulating on what it will do.
 Dr. Walter s. Adams, director of the Carnegie Institute of Technology estimates it will disclose objects so distant that light travelling 6,00Q billion miles year would require 400 million years to reach the earth.
 To Bring Moon Closer
 "This mammoth telescope" said Frederick G. Leonard of the Univer- sity of California at Los Angeles, may be expected to show about as many stars in the heavens as there are people on earth" He said only about 5000 stars are visible to the naked eye.
 It should bring the moon which is roughly 240,0O0 miles away, he said, to such close proximity it would

be possible to distinguish large build ings." He did not say, however, he expected buildings would be found on the moon.
 pr. Edwin F. Hubble, authority on nebulae, also termed Island Uni verses" great star systems like the Milky Way, has concluded from a survey that there are 75,000,000 neb ulae within range of the 100-inch telescope on Mount Wilson. The 200-inch reflector, he estimates, should be able to reveal at least 2 and one quarter times this number.
 Glass Presented Difficulties
 pr. George E. Hale, former direct or of the Mount Wilson observatory and now chairman of the council for the new observatory, has 'fath- ered' the 200-inch telescope project. Unexpected difficulty was encount- cred in finding a glass which could be cast in so huge a piece, about 20 tons, and would not crack or show flaws.
 One of 120 inches was successfully cast and shipped to the California Institute, which is financing the pro- ject, and is being ground there to use in testing the larger reflector when it arrives.
 Light only can be used in measur- ing and testing the paraboloid sur face of the new mirror and this will be reflected from the 120-inch glass, which will have a pane surface.
 Dr. J. A. Anderson, executive of ficer, said three or four years would be required to grind and test the 200-inch mirror.
