SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-Old Pard Win Ballou, who pulled many games out of the fire for the San Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast League by his relief hurling last season, hasn't sent in his signed contract to the Seals office yet--but no one is worried about it.
 Ballou, who says spring training is for those young fellows" has been working for the Seals a good many seasons and never has sent in a signed contract yet.
 Manager Lefty O'Doul of the Seals said he was worried the least of all, for Ballou has habit of showing up when spring training starts the middle of February

.FIREMEN GET BEATING BY
 kRAUSE FIVE
Upset Game Shows Dark Horse Squad Playing
 Smart Basketball
SCORES Krause 3S; Bremen 36. Henning's 36; Miners 35.

Real basketball was played in the High School gymnasium last night when two ball clubs nosed out vic tories, one spelling the no-defeat record of the Bremen.
 First Game
 In the first contest of the eve ming, five Krause men played pro- fessional type ball from the first horn to the last, bringing the ball up to the Bremen defense lines slowly, passing and passing until an opening was secured, and then, taking that precious fraction of a second to get set potting the ball through the hoop
 The Krause team, considered one of the lesser teams of the League until last night, did not play Fire man squad that was ragged" or off, but kept the smoke-eaters so well checked that the red-suited squad had difficulty in getting losses at the basket.
 Bremen center Ed Metzgar dumped in his usual quota of slap backs under the hoop and took high tally for the evening with IT points, but second and third place scorers were Krause forwards Hoch, with Is, and Woody Wilson, with 12 Tn the first quarter the positive passing of the Krause squad and their time-shooting, gave them a lead of l3 to that the Bremen tied up in three minutes of the second frame.
 However, the half ended with Krause leading the ding dong battle IS to IT. Tn the third quarter. Fire men again took the lead, at 23-21 and carried a two-point edge at the end of the quarter.
 Still playing heads-up ball, the Krause squad tied up again at 30 and a see-saw race for the lead spot began in the closing minutes.
 Fireman forward Hautala dumped field shot for a Firemen lead of 32-30, then Hoch dropped two beau ties in row to give Krause the two point edge
 On a gift toss, Art Hautala brought the score to 34-33, still in Krause's favor and Woody Wilson dropped another for the Krause squad and 36-33
 At that stage of the game. Carl Wilson, checking too closely, fouled of two free losses, leaving the score 36-34.
 With three minutes left to play, Art Hautala dumped field toss, but Glen Edwards looped long one for the Krause team to put the game on ice
 Fans agree that this was the best ball game played in Juneau in many months.
 Seccnd Game
 The Henning victory over the Miners was slow contest that speeded up as the game progressed, the blue suits coming in ahead with a last quarter rally.
 The first quarter was tied at 7-7, and the Miners had an 1912 lead at the half and 25-21 lead at the end of the third quarter.
 Going into the last quarter, four points behind, the Henning five turned on the heat, led by rangy, smooth working center Chapados, and when the final whistle blew led by slim point, still undefeated and holding first place.

Missing Girl, Believed
Armed, Is Hunted

A 16-year-old girl, reported miss
ing by her mother and believed to
be armed with a gun, was being
sought by police today.
The girl, Lucreta Waller, dis
appeared from her home, 1887 Mon
roe street NE, yesterday. A former
Mckinley High School student, Lu-
creta, according to police, eloped to
Annapolis last September with Har-
old Burton, Is, of 3618 Eighteenth
street NE.
An annulment suit was filed by
Mrs. Mabel Waller for her daughter
in District Court on October 7. The
suit referred to "purported mar
riage' in Annapolis and said the
plaintiff had been informed her hus-
band believed he had procured a
divorce from his first wife, but in
fact valid divorce was not pro-
cured" The case was placed on the
calendar November 3 and is still
pending.
Mrs. Waller went to the Burton
home early today to seek word of
her daughters whereabouts. Mr..
Burton told her he hadn't seen the
girl, but understood that she had
a gun. Mrs. Waller told police the
girl had threatened suicide.
Lucreta, who is red haired,
freckled, and weighs about 80
pounds, also disappeared from home
last summer. She was gone six
days. She said she had ridden on
a truck to Richmond, where she got
a job in a restaurant kitchen.

limited, and would continue to be
limited, to bringing contiguous Ger
man people into the Reich-and
only German people-had been dis
sipated by events of the last few
weeks.
1t was pointed out that Germany
had brought into its realm a great
many million Slavs and, under the
domination of the Reich. many mil
lion Hungarians. In addition, it had
brought under partial economic
domination many millions of Ru-
manianS.
The official sources went on to
say none of these sections squared
with the announced intention of
Hitler up to last autumn.
Therefore, it was said, the people
of every continent felt that where
there was limit last autumn there
is no limit today, presenting thus
a very difficult picture.
With limits removed, it was added,
this new policy may logically be
carried out on an increasing scale
in any part Of the world. From
the United States point of view, it
was said, this policy, unless checked,
meant German domination not only
of the small nations of Europe, but
possibly countries of other con-
tinents.
The official sources, discussing the
general picture, also cited as addi-
tional reasons for unrest newspaper
reports of fears of Switzerland, Hol-
land, the Dutch colonies, the Baltic
states and Yugoslavia and the fear
of the people in Asia Minor, partic-
ularly in Turkey and Persia.
In other words, there was gen.
eral fear, these sources said, of an
effort to attain world dominance by
Germany.
The President himself, replying to
questions, said there had been no
action taken by this Government
with regard to the Franco govern
ment IN Spain. He also said his To-
day stay here was subject to change
without notice.
Official sources would not COM
ment on Toxic dispatches announc-
ing that Japan had assumed juris-
diction over the Spratly Islands,
claimed by France in 1888 and de-
scribed as of possible value if an
attempt ever were made on the
