Juneau Has Hottest Day Yesterday M Sia-Year Period

Juneau yesterday had it's hot test day in six years, and one of the warmest ever recorded when the thermometer of the United States Weather Bureau station registered 84.7 degrees. This reading occurred between 2:30 and 3:30 pm.
 The big thermometer at Bur- ford's Corner, on the Seward Street side of the building was about one degree higher at the same time.
 Not since July 3, 1928, has that mark been reached here. On that date it stood at an even S5, and On August 3, 1929, it registered 84.6, One-tenth of one. degree lower than yester- days high.
 The highest mark ever re- corded here, said Observer R. c. Mize, is 89, which was ex- perienced on July 29, 1920. On August 20, 1923, it stood at 87.

The Old Liners this year prob
ably will be stronger than last

off this year than she has been
for some time.
Harvard's Opponent
Maryland will start the season
tomorrow with Harvard furnish
ing the opposition. More than
like the Old Liners will open up
with the following lineup: Pfau,

point; Rombro, first defense;
Hart, second defense; Sothoron,
center; Rabbit, second attack;
Brill, first attack; j. Christh1lf,
out home; Vincent, in home.
Six of these men are letter men,
veterans; Hart, Rabbit. Brill and
ChriSthilf are new men.
Coach Jack Faber is hesitant
to predict that his 1884 team will
win over such tough opposition
as Johns Hopkins, Mt. Washing
ton, Navy and st. Johns, all four
Of whom are rated at or near

Rep. Black SGnguine
For Horse Racing
In D. C.. Ere Long

Representative Loring M.
Black, who is fathering the horse
racing bill for the District Of
Columbia in the House, is quite
sanguine over the prospects Of
securing legalization for that
pastime.
He has received sufficient en-.
couragement from sportsmen
and citizens Of Washington. as
well as his fellows in legislative
seats, to believe q thoroughly
friendly sentiment exists with
regards to restoring the turf
competition to the District Of
Columbia, and at a very early
date at that.
Mr.. Black has indorSed the
proposal Of The Times that one
Of the three racing commission.
ers who would be appointed here
under his bill, be an officer of
the United States Army Re-
mount Service. He believes such
an individual on the commission
would be of great service in, di.
recting the operation of racing
in washington.
The Washington times., 1934-04-06
More Establishments

Representative Black stated
today that Washington wants a
racing set-up which will encour-
age more people to own stables
and race them. He cites the
fact that the number of stables
has been seriously diminished in
recent years, and that racing
needs to be conducted along
lines which will bring out more
competition rather than stifle it.
Too, considerable impetus has
been given the local horse rae
ing measure in view of the Sug-
gestion that something of a ma
tional scope be attempted in
establishing a Jockey club head
ed and controlled by gentlemen
breeders.
One of the most en- 'lusiastic
believers in developing of thor,
oughbred competition locally
along such lines is Alfred Rohr-
back, lover of horSefleSh, who
expresses confidence that there
is an opportunity here to set
a high standard of operation
second to none in the country.

WORK, TOO
BY GARRETT WATERS
(Times Staff Correspondent

N4lmeS SLaII COfreSpOnuent)
MEMPHIS, Tenn. April 6.-He
startled the baseball world by an.
nouncing this spring that he
planned to wear glasses both afield
and at bat.
He carried through with his
promise by not only showing up7
with his glasses, but wearing 'em
Immediately after he put on his
uniform at the Biloxi training
camp.
At first little improvement was
noted in his work because his
actions on the field were typical
Of his usual play. But soon a
neWness in his manner made il.
self prominent.
Particularly was this so when
he stepped to bat. In short, his
cut" at the ball was more Ger.
tain. His drives were connecting
much more than ever before,
We're speaking Of none other

gents. Good old Ossie Bluege.
who has been affiliated with the
Griffithmen for something like
eleven years now.
Bitter Battle With Travis
ossie has been engaging in a
bitter battle for the third base
job with the Griffs this spring,
The youngSter Cecil Travis has
been his opponent.
During the early part of the
training campaign, Travis an
peared to have the edge because
OF his vast improvement both
afie1d and at bat over his trial
in 1893.
But that was before Bluege be-
gan getting into the thick of
the fight. Also before Ossie's
test with his glasses began to
function properly. Today, we'd
say the veteran has passed Travis
because Of his excellent work in
the last week or so.
OF course, nothing definite can
be told on this subject because
Manager Joe Cronin hasn't
reached his final decision vet
whether Bluege or Travis will
start the campaign as his reg
ular third sacker.
But a. the least, Bluege is fight
ing the game of his life at pres
ent and making good as if his
"all" depended on the result.
All Of which argues that he'll
be at third for the first few
weeks of the campaign even
though he might be benched
later.
Wears Glasses
Ossie made a new experiment
in yesterdays game against
Memphis when he batted with
his glasses on and played in the
field unmasked as it were. And
it must be said the test worked
wonders as Ossie delivered twice
in the pinch with line singles to
left-runners scoring in each in
stance. While his fielding was
up to the usual Bluege standard.
Now, whether the veteran plans
continuing this bit remains to be
seen. But the fact remains he's
playing a great game at this stage
of the new season and will be

starter against the Boston Red
Sox next week if he keeps up
