CLASSY FIELD FOR A.A.U. MEET
 SATURDAY EVE
Rice, McCluskey, BIozis to Run-MacMitcheII Not
 in Mile Event
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Correspondent

New York, Feb. 19-(UP)-The track and field cavalcade, with six weeks of record-setting competition under their belts, send IA of 1T 1940 titleholders into action in the 53rd annual National A. A. U. champion ships at Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
 Of this formidable contingent, only three of last years champions Greg Rice of South Bend, Ind, Joe McCluskey of the N. Y. A. O., and Ally BloziS of Georgetown-are given any chance of repeating.
 Rice, the almost unbeatable mite of the indoor world, will be out to protect string of seven consecu- tive victories this season and a skieh of IA straight over two season indoors when he runs in the three mile event. Last year the former Notre Dame star shattered the three-mile standard with a 13:55.9 choking.
 If the veteran McCluskey wins the two-mile steeplechase, he will gain his 23rd national title. Blozis, world record holder in the shotput, should meet little trouble in his di- vision.
 New York university's relay teams must be included i'll the favorites' divishion because the Violet con- tingent took three of the four re- lay titles last year. Only important absentee will be Jimmy Herbert who helped his team to two triumphs in 1940.
 Passes Up Mile
 But Leslie MacMitchell, individual mile star of the current season, will forego competition in that event against Chuck Fenske, Walter Mel,l and John Munski among others, to run the anchor leg for N. Y. U. on the 1% mile medley. That should cinch Violet victory but the N. Y. A. c. in an attempt to win its 10th straight team title, has entered the veterans Gene Venzke and Luigi Beccali in the medley also. Venzke also will run in the 1000.
 Fenske will face Nell Fruit in the mile in addition to Mehl and Mum ski. All three have beaten Fenske on different occasions this year.
 Try for Two
 In the 600 and 1000, Charlie Beetham of Columbus, O., will at- tempt double victory that no athlete has attained since Abiel Kivat did the trick in 1911 and 1913. Opposing him over the 600 route will be Jim Herbert, Bob Simmons, Johnny Quigley. Joe zeitler and Warren Breidenbach. In the 1000 he will meet John Borican, defend- ing champion, Venke. Andy Neidnig, Jim Kehoe, Howie Borck and San- ford Goldberg.
 Boyce Gatewood of Texas makes his debut against titleholder Allan Tolmich, Larry O'Connor and Ed Smith in the hurdles.
 Other champions who hope to re- peat 1940 victories are Earle Mead ows in the pole vault; Moze Ellerbe, 6O-yard sprint; Artie Byrnes, high jump Niles Perkins, weight throw and Seton Hall in the 880-yard' re- lay.

Sebring, Fla, February 20. = It hadn't occurred to us before, but umpires just don't happen any more; they are developed. VIII Harridge, president of the Ameri- can League, who winters here, was talking about that today.
 "It used to be that some one would write in and recommend an umpire or we would hear about some umpire who was doing good work in the miors and we would sign him. We don't do that any more. To a large extent we roll our own"
 Then Mir. Harridge told us how Eddie Rommel and George Pipgras became umpires in the American League. Both had been brilliant pitchers, Rommel with the Athletics and PipgraS with the Yankees. When their soup bones collapsed, they still wanted to stay in baseball. For some strange reason they want ed to be umpires.
 AS rule, there isn't much 8 ball. player can do in any other line of bushes sonce his active career is ended. Most of them aren't very ambitious. Anyway, it is hard for them to plan for the future; they're on the ball field six months out Of the year and business people aren't interested in part-time career men.
 Not Satisfied
 When the average ballplayer gets close to the end of his playing days he begins to grouse that the game hasn't been good to him. He wants to know why he can't be a manager. "They won't even let me be an um- pire," he will say, turning his bit- terness on full force. They've got guys umpiring who never played ball in their lives. It ain't fair

RATIO IS LOWER


 After nearly five years of colon ization, land development, improve ment of transportation facilities, and extension cf military domina- tion to the hinterlands, the inn port-export ratio had backslid 10 more than eight to one. (The last official figures the Commerce De- pertinent has are for 1888, when Libyas imports were 332,058,000 liras and her exports only 103,962, = 0O0) In case like that, some body HAS to pay the freight and in this case it was the Italian tax- payers, to the tune of about $40,- 000,000 year.
 But that wasn't all. Think of the millions spent on colonization, subsidies and improvements. Think of the millions spent on military forces to keep the wild desert tribes in line. When these natives wece brought into line for the first time in the l920s, it was estimated that it had cost Italy more than a billion dollars. Is it any wonder tflat, no matter what the Army thinks, the boys at Commerce fig ure Italy ought to thank Great Britain if she takes over the whole kaboodle?

CITY DADS APPROVE OF
 ARM0RY BILL.

The Juneau City Council last night ended a three-hour ses- sion by endorsing Eouse Bill No 66 calling for the construction of five Territorial buildings to be used as armories. Appropriation asked by the bill is S500,ooo.
 Mayor Harry I. Lucas an nounced the meeting was called for the purpose of obtaining ad- ditional office space in Juneau for Territorial agencies" and the ses- sion was two hours old before Councilman Henry Messerschmidt revealed that last meetings min utes called for discussion on the armory bill.
 Territorial Building
 Mayor Lucas announced that he had obtained options on two lots in Juneau, one the present site of the AB Hall and the other be- tween the Juneau Hotel and the Territorial Building. Each lot could be obtained by the City for $15,000 and it was suggested that the lots be offered the Territory through the City Council and the Legislature for site for a new Territorial building.
 Both Councilmen and audience spoke in lengthy discussions on the plan, giving suggestions that a new City Hall be incorporated into the Territorial Building and that the armory for the National Guard. a civic center, new municipal build ing and the Territorial building be all included in the one building.
 Offices May Move
 B. Frank Heintzleman and Ro- bert Schoettler spoke on the pos sibility of Territorial agencies and offices moving from Juneau be- cause of lack of office space and stressed the need of a Territorial Building or a combined Territorial and Municipal building.
 Schoettler pointed out the age of the books in the Public Library. saying the latest volume on hy- draulics was dated 1880 and an- other on automobiles, in 1905. He said that approximately l,400 peo- pie have migrated from Juneau since the spring census and ad- vised immediate action by the peo- pie of Juneau and the City Coun- cil to prevent further migration.
 Approve Action
 The Council unanimously passed motion approving the Mayor action in obtaining a 9O-day op- tion on lots and 4 in block which is occupied by the AB. Hall. The other lot held by option of the City Of Juneau has already been approved by the Council. The second motion of the Coun- cil was to appoint the Mayor tc communicate with proper authori- ties to offer lot to the Territory for building purposes.
 Estimates for the building of an armory were given at S100,0OO and for a combined City Territorial building at $250,000 additional.
