Heading for two games against the
league-leading Baltimore Orioles in
three days-one Of them tomorrow
night in Baltimore-the Washington
ice hockey Eagles, their rough stuff
temporarily in allegiance, look for
ward to pair Of wins over the
Orioles and the top spot in the
Eastern Amateur League. It's no
soft assignment the Eagles have
mapped out, for the Orioles top the
circuit, and are tough lads on their
home rink. The Eagles will clash
with them at Carlin's Arena in
Baltimore tomorrow night, and
Tuesday night the Washington
puck-chasers will entertain the
Orioles at Riverside Stadium. where
last night they strengthened their
hold on third place in the league by
an impressive 5-to-3 win over the
hapless Jersey Skeeters, cellar cham
pions Of the amateur loop.
Although Baltimore was licked
last night in Atlantic City by the
Sea Gulls they remained on top,
as the Gulls won a 4-to-3 decision
The Eagles Tuesday night whipped
the Gulls at Riverside Stadium.
Only a win counts in the league
standings. The Eagles, by their VIC
tory last night, jumped from 10
points to IL and are on the heels
Of New York, which has won 13
points. while Baltimore leads with
IA points.

youngster, was the hero of the
Eagles win over the Skeeters, scor-

in another counter. The boys got a

stuff that marked the visit of the
Sea Gulls here Tuesday was missing,
although Referee Boyd imposed 10
minor penalties, five Of which were
drawn by the Eagles.
Not single fist fight enlivened
the proceedings, even though the
first period opened up some rugged
work that seemed to indicate
scrappy hockey later on. The an
ticipated scraps didn't materialize,
but Hughie Bell, right wing for the
Skeeters, spent much Of his time
cooling off in the penalty box. Bell
Is a rough hombre who goes into
trouble standing up. He drew three
Of the Skeeter's five penalties, and
spent s minutes in the box.
Washington drew first blood,
scoring after minutes of the open
ing period on a goal by Dewey from
Knipfel and Covert In a mixup at
the Skeeters goal, when Dewey drew
Goalie Hemming out of position and
shot the puck over his shoulder.
The Skeeters promptly tied it up at
1898 with a counter from Allen
through an unprotected goal, but the
Eagles came back with another
counter at 1916, with Ramsey scor-
ing on passes from Davies and Cour-
teau.
Washington scored in 1920 of the
second period, Ramsay again shoot
ing the puck through Hemming on
a pass from Burrage, and kept their
own goal inviolate.

unique defense against the biggest

Capone Pays $37,692
In Fines and Costs;
Prepares for Release
Gongster Still Owes
$1,000 and Has
Year to Serve
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Al Capone has
paid hree-flfths of his financial debt
to society.
The Government had a bill for
657,692.29 outstanding against the
dethroned gangster king until yes
terday, when his Chicago lawyer,
Abraham Teitelbaum, handed $37,-
1929 to Edward E. Douglas, acting
clerk of the Federal District Court.
The sum represented all outstand-
Ing court costs, 1882 %, and $4,000
In fines. There remained $4,000 in
fines to be paid.
Douglas said the payment cleared
the way for release of Capone from
Alcatraz Island Prison, in San Fran
cisco Bay, where he has been serving
a 10-year sentence for income tax
evasion. That term and $4,000 in
fines were imposed on three felony
counts when in 1881 the Government
convicted the Nations then public
enemy No. for failure to pay $2l5,-
080 tax on an estimated income of
S1,038,654 for 1925-1929.
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson
also imposed an added one-year term
and a $4,000 fine on two misde-
meanor counts in connection with
''the big boys" failure to file re-
turns, making the total penalties II
years and $4,000.
Capone began serving time in 1882,
first at the Atlanta (Ga) Peniten-
tiary, later at The Rock" of Alca-
traz.
Recently Government officials said
Capone was suffering from paresis,
a disease of the brain, and while
he was normal three weeks out of
four he was "a dangerous man" the
other week.
They said the Government planned
to keep him under treatment, prob
ably in another Federal institution
which would not be disclosed until
he had been moved there.
With time off for good behavior,
Capone would be eligible for release
from Alcatraz January 10. The
extra year was originally scheduled
to be served in the Cook County
(Chicago) Jail.
Clerk Douglas said the remaining
$4,000 in fine would have to be paid
after Capone served the extra year
before he could be ultimately re-
leased, unless he took a pauper's
oath and served an extra 80 days
In lieu of payment.
Douglas sent word of the pay
ment by special delivery letter to

director of the Federal Bureau of
Prisons.
