YANKEES CARD
33 GAMES 70 R.
TRAINING GRIND.

NEW YORK, Jan. QN.SO.
Although large sections of the
country are buried under several
feet of snow, the first harbinger
of spring arrived here today when
the New York Yankees released
their schedule of spring training
exhibition games.
1t seem only yesterday the
Yanks were mopping up the Giants
in the world series, and here we
find Ed Barrow, the Yanks' gen.
eralissimo, already limiting that
baseball is just around the corner.
ALWAYS BREAK EVEN
The Yanks are one of the few
clubs which can look on spring
tour with some measure of equa-
nimity, for they are one of the
few that always manage to break
even or occasionally make few
dollars.
Barrow says the Yanks will
spend at least $4,000 for their
training trip. This outlay will go
for railroad fares and hotel bills
for about go ball players, sports
writer's, scouts and other officials.
The Yanks expect to get all of
that back through the medium of
33 exhibition games, Is of which
will be played against major league
teams and 18 against minor
lleaguerS.
PLAY CARDS FIRST
The Yanks will play their first
game with the Cardinals at st.
Petersburg, Fla, March IL and
will break camp March 81 after
having played the Cards six times,
and the Bees, Reds. Newark, Kan
sas City and Dodgers each twice
in Florida.
They open their road tour April
1 with a game against Tallahassee
in Tallahassee, Fla. Then in or
der they will take on New Orleans,
Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Okla
homa City, Tulsa, Little Rock, At
lanta, Knoxville, Binghamton Cat
Spartansburg, N. c. Baltimore
and wind up with three games
against the Dodgers in Brooklyn.
These will all be one-day stands
except at New Orleans and Atlanta
where the world champion will re-
main two days.
The first squad, consisting of
pitchers and catchers, will report
at st. Petersburg February 27 and
the second squad, March 6.

ACTION IN BRISTOL BAY

Action by Territorial officials against aliens m the fishing industry will meet with enthusiasm on the part of citizens Alaska particularly the fisher men residents of the Third Division who have been fighting this competition for good many years in the Bristol Bay region.
 According to report to officials here and appear ing in The Empire Saturday between 20 and 30 fish ermen have been checked in by the tax collector as aliens In other words they not citizens of the United States nor have they declared their intention of so becoming And they have been working side by side with American citizens who attempting to make an honest lving-resident and nonresident fishermen alike.
 How do these aliens get into Bristol Bay fishing activities when the law explicitly forbids it. and they are as we understand it. hired through union ganzatons, or they wouldn't be working? Alaskans are going to be interested in knowing the answer to that question which doubtless will be revealed at the hearings.
 For several years the Alaska Game Commission has been moving against aliens, or those who would endeavor enjoy the privileges of citizenship without becoming citizens or attempting to. The drive has been remarkably successful with the result that resi- dent Alaskans have been protected against unfair competition by non-citzens
 It is encouraging to see other Alaska agencies working in the direction, such the Treasurers office and the Attorney Generals office doing in the Bristol Bay alien situation.
 Certainly if a person will not become a citizen when there opportunity to do he is not entitled to make living in competition with those who shoulder the responsibility of citizenship. And furthermore he should be deported to the land to which he does pay allegiance
