SITE OF CREW RACE PROBABLY
 TO BE CHANGED
Washington and California May Row, West Side
 San Francisco Bay

BER KELLEY, Cal, Feb. IT, Switching of the biannual rowing regatta between University of Washington and California crews from the Oakland Estuary course to one on the west side of San Francisco Bay looms as a distinct possibility.
 California officials confirmed this after survey of the proposed new site.
 The proposed three mile course parallels the west shore of the bay, a few miles south of San Francisco, and would permit the running of observation trains for two and one-half miles of the way including the finish.
 The regatta Is scheduled for April 13. The Coast and Geodetic Sur vey has been requested to compute the tides for both April 12 and l3 dates to ascertain if six feet of water will be available. This depth would be adequate for the shells.
 No further action will be taken until the tide data is available.

Leave it to Connie Mack to come up with some revolutionary idea. The veteran manager of the Phila- delphia Athletics insists that his plans for 1885 place Jimmy Foxx behind the bat.
 Mack followed that announce ment with the release of Charley Berry, who caught 99 games in 1884 before he fractured leg in Cleveland. That left only Frank Hayes, a powerful youngster who came directly to the Athletics from high school.
 So it looks as though Mack is really serious about his plans for FOxx

Comes now the time when that game of games shall be played be- tween the George Brothers and the DeMolays. This basketball. en- counter, although it won't settle the fate of the world, certainly will go long way toward determining the 1934-35 City League champion
 The contest is scheduled for 8:3Q o'clock tomorrow night in Ju- neau High Schools gymnasium As a 7:30 o'clock opener, Krauses Concreters and the Douglas Fire men tangle in a game which also will have much championship DOT tent.
 But this DeMolay- George Broth CT clash; that's the ball game for which Juneau fans have beer waiting these many weeks.
 Here's why:
 Last year, so they say, the George Brother quintet won the first half championship of the City League. Then, along came the DeMolays to upset the George team and thereby take title to the second half crown. It's hoop his tory how the Green Shirts trim med the DeMolays in the resulting playoff.
 Comes 1this season. The George Brothers, efen ding champions waltz right through the first hall play with but one defeat and cor the title. Now-tomorrow night tc be exact-Juneau fans will see il history repeats itself"
 The DeA1olays have lost no games in three starts this half Their rivals of tomorrow have dropped one clash in three. So the Green Shirts must win to stay in the second half title running
 Yes, sir, twill be a ball game tomorrow night.
 Then take that opener. The Douglas Firemen, tired from theii courageous but vain stand of last night against the DeMolays, vii be battling hard to protect what little mathematical chance they have for City League crown. On the other hand, the Concreters with but one loss in four starts scent possible championship themselves, so can't afford to lose

GYM WILL GET BLEACHERS
 IN FEW WEEKS
Long-Needed Improvement Will Provide Seats
 for 300 Persons

At last, Juneau citizens can sit down when attending a basketball game.
 That is, they can't sit down quite yet, but they'll be able to, perhaps, near the end of the current City League Basketball season.
 Needed for many seasons, bleach CTS are being installed in the Ju- neau High School gymnasium, it is announced today by A. B. Phil lips, superintendent of schools and president of the City League.
 The new bleachers, which will supplement the inadequate scatter ed chairs and benches now in use, will seat 300 persons. This num- Der is expected easily to accommo- date all average crowds.
 Built so that they may be taken down when not in use, the bleach CTS are being assembled by the manual training classes of the high school under the supervision of Principal Alex Durham. The metal portions for the new grand stands arrived Sunday on the northbound North w e tern. The lumber is being obtained at the Juneau Lumber Mill.
 The final games of the City League season are slated for Feb ruary 19. A high school series for the championship of Southeast AL aska, will follow soon after this. It is expected that the bleachers will be in use by this time.

Providence that year but returned to Philadelphia before the season ended. He was strictly a catcher in 1926 and 1927.
 Since that time he has done no regular cathcing, playing almost exclusively at first base. Occasion al injuries to the regular third basemen forced him to fill in at the hot corner now and then.
 Cuts Batting Ability
 For the last six years he has neglected the catching phase of his baseball education. Now he is going to try to pick up the loose ends and begin again.
 Foxx is without doubt one of the most versatile players in base ball. so it is possible that he can swing it.
 If Connie is willing to try the experiment, I certainly am," Foxx declared on his return from tour ing the Orient with the major leaguers.
 There is at least one drawabck to the experiment. Foxx's outstand- ing value to his team is his slug ging. As a catcher he will be de- ing well, indeed, if he is able to play 100 games a season. How are the Athletics going to benefit by having their best slugger on the bench one third of the season?
 There were only eight catchers in the major leagues last season who played in 100 or more games. They were equally divided, four in each league. Rick Terrell, of the Boston Red Sox, with 128 to his credit, topped the American leag- uers.
 The absence of Foxx's big bat at various times is certain to weak en the club. Some surmise that Connie Mack will overcome this loss by sending Jimmy to first base at such times as he takes a rest from catching.
 Putting Big Shot on the Spot
 It appears sort of reckless to take such great chances with the teams big siege gun in a position where the hazard of injuries is ever present. < t .r <s6I
 Particularly it is going to be dangerous in Foxx's case, where lack of practice behind the bat for so long period may have blunted his catching skill. Rusty as Foxx is almost certain to be, it looks as though Mack was inviting an in- jury which might cost the Ath- letics their chances in the pennant race.
 Foxx is still regarded by many as a callow youth, yet 1885 will mark the 11th season he has spent in the As uniform A veteran major leaguer and a ten year man, and all while he is still well under his 30-year mark. He passed his 27th birthday last October. He is truly one of the wonders of the dia- mond

Rated by many an old-time sports fan as the most thrilling game ever played on Gastineau Channel" the DeMolays won from Douglas Bremen in a City Bas- ketball League. contest played last night in the Douglas Natatorium. The score was A to 42, for the DeMolays.
 The lead changed hands no less than seven times. Never was one team ahead by more than six points. The losers led for Is min utes of the final half, only to have victory snatched from them in the last frantic minutes of play. Those were some of the high spots of the tilt. But the story of that game never can be told in figures, and scarcely more so in words. You either were there, in the Douglas Nat, or you weren't, And if you were not there, you missed ball game, brother. | Last nights fracas marked a thrilling and courageous stand by the Bremen from Douglas. Spur red on by large and loyal crowd, the Douglas players played truly inspired ball. Never, this season, have they reached the heights of last night. The winners, on the other hand, were not of" in their play. They gave everything they had, and admitted they were lucky" to win. They were.
 It was a case of win, or lose al- most all chance for a City League title, for the Douglas club last night. They lost, but, man, how they did battle.
 The DeMolays jumped to 60 lead in the first few moments Timeout was taken by Douglas, and that furry was halted. The first quarter ended in favor of the Bremen, 10 to 8. The half-time score, with action travelling at a terrific slup, was 2l to 20 for the DeMolays.
 Then. in the third quarter, the losers made their bid for victory When that periods ending whistle was sounded, the Bremen led, B to 28. But, perhaps. that effort was too much. For, in the final ses- sion, it was the DeMolay's turn to thrill spectators with a magnifi- cent drive, climaxed-with but two minutes to go--by Kinky Bayers' cripple shot, which put the Ju- neau team ahead for good, A to 42.
 Angus Gair, lanky Douglas cen- ter, was "on" to the tune of IT points for high-point honors. Bay CTS, DeMolay ace, was right behind him with Is markers. Defensively, Douglas Gray, Bremen guard, was the outstanding player on either team, Tuano Niemi, Douglas, was third high scorer, with Il points.
 The Bremen were handicapped by the loss of John Niemi, forced to the side lines by heavy chest cold.

MOFFETT RESIGNS
AS HOUSING HEAD
Resignation Is Effective
Sept. 1-McDonaId Likely
to Be Successor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The resignation of James A. MofYett,
Federal housing administrator. was
announced today by President Roose-
welt.
Moffett, who has been seeking for
months to return to private business,
will leave the Government service Sep
tember /. Stewart Mcdonald. acting
administrator, is believed to be in line
for Moffett's post.
In his letter of resignation Moffett
told the President that despite neces-
sary delays in getting the housing pro-
gram under way. the Housing Admin
istration was insuring construction
and repair loans at the rate of $50.
000. 900 a month.
Permit Gains Shown.
He also quoted Bureau of Labor sta
tistics to show residential building per-
mits through the country in July had
increased 214 per cent in value. as
compared with July, 1884. Non-resi-
Dental permits were up 1874 per cent.
he said, while alteration and repair
permits had jumped 35.s per cent.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied to the depart
ing administrator:
You have done a splendid piece of
work, considering especially that you
did not commence operations under
the national housing act until one year
and one month ago, and considering
also that you had to obtain enabling
legislation from the legislatures Of As
States.
Because Of the housing act We have
succeeded in encouraging investments
in mortgages, lower rates Of interest
and a very definite increase in build
ing and repair operations throughout
the country"
The Housing Administration was
created by Congress for the purpose
of insuring mortgages on new con-
struction and loans for repairs and
modernization.
Insured Loans, s126.oo0,ooo.
Total modernization loans insured,
Moffett reported, amount to sl26. .000,-
900. Applications for mortgage insur-
ance total $l46,000,0 900. The retiring
administrator said about rs per cent
of this sum would become insured ulti-
mately, and that about Al per cent
represented new construction.
Moffett also reported Better Housing
Campaign Committees had been or
ganized in S,725 communities. and
that house-to-house canvassers had
called on 10000, 900 property owners.
He said his records showed that while
the Housing Administration had III
sured only $126, 900 Of loans, $780,
000, 900 or more of modernization and
repair work had been done during the
past year..
Moffett long has been associated
with the Standard Oil Co. In 1884,
Just before his appointment as hous-
ing administrator, he was elected vice
president Of the Standard Oil Co. of
California.

ROOSEVELT SIGNS
BAN ON GOLD SUITS
Citizens Right to Protest
Broken U. S. Promise Ex-
pireS January /.
BY the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt last night
signed away the right of citizens to
sue the Government after next Janu-
ary l for damages that might be
charged to dollar revaluation and
notification Of gold payment prom
ises.
This was disclosed today to have
taken place at pm.
His pen stroke made law Of the
compromise legislation which resulted
from an administration request for
an absolute ban against such suits.
Under the compromise, no suits will
be permitted later than January on
securities containing gold payment
clauses, coin, currency, or claims
based on surrender of coin, currency
or gold and silver to the Government.
Congress was asked by the admins
tration to close the courts to such
litigation-as it has the power to do
after the Supreme Court decided the
Government had no right to nullify
gold payment clauses in its own
obligations.
The court held that a Government
bondholder whose case then was be-
fore it had failed to show actual
damages, however. Oficials feared
there might be a rush of new suits
seeking to show damages.
Potential claims which the new law
will bar after the first of next
year have been estimated to total
$1,000, 900 900.
This figure was based on the fact
more than $4,000, ,00o, 900 in gold
clause obligations are outstanding. 1t
would require Sl.69 in present-day
dollars to represent the same gold
content as the old dollar bill.
The law authorizes holders Of gold
clause obligations to trade them for
currency-dollar for dollar-up 10

The President marked the hour Of
signature on the gold clause bill be-
cause of legal questions which might

PEACE REPORTED
Newspaper Campaigns of
Hate to Be Banned-0tto
RumorS Revive.
BY the Associated Press.

VIENNA, August 28-Reports of an
Austro-German reconciliation and Of
an impending new Fascist Heimwehr
regime with the restoration of the
Hapsburg monarchy fitted through
Vienna today
The reconciliation rumors at least
had a basis, for an understanding was
reached yesterday between Egon Ber-
gerwaldenegg. Austrian minister Of
foreign affairs, and Franz Won Papen,
German minister to Austria, to the
effect that the newspaper hate cam
paign" must cease on both sides Of
the Austro- German line.
Observers noted that Italy,s pre-
occupation with Ethiopia is likely to
make it necessary for Austria to lean
on some other neighbor. Peace with
Germany is one way out.
There are also, however. predictions
Of closer cooperation with the Little
Entente, which is lately becoming
more friendly with Prince Won Star
hemberg, Austrian vice chancellor.
Radical monarchists view the pres
ent moment as "the last chance" to
bring Otto to the Austrian throne be-
fore European developments make
restoration definitely impossible.
