BEER INDUSTRY
 !. ID BE INVESTIGATED

Washington, June 24.-The beer indus try of the United States is to undergo a searching inquiry at the hands of the board of food and drug inspection. Dr. II. W. Wiley. chief chemist of the de- partment of agriculture and chairman of the board, has given notice of a general hearing on beer in this city July 31.
 For those who attend the hearing Dr. Wiley has formulated a formidable list of questions. These cover about every phase of the manufacture of beer, ale, porter and stout. One of the points upon which the board desires light is the meaning of the terms "iaser' and "bock' as applied to beer.
 If any domestic brews of beer ale, DOT ter or stout are masquerading under the rames of foreign products the board is likely to find 1t out. Some questions along that line are scheduled

Thomas was relieved in the ninth when one man had scored and two were on bases by Bailey, the new portheaVer' but Bailey was wild and was relieved by Bills, after walking WelcEonce. Smith knocked an easy one to Bills, who felded to Gribbens and Bay and Wiseman scored when Gribbens threw wild to first. Only two hits were made in this inning but errors allowed runs enough to come over to lose the game for the Billikens. Thomas gave up l2 hits in eight innings and seemed easy for the Volunteers after the eighth, Bair was extremely wild, walking four men and making two wild pitches, one of which allowed score. He yielded
 only four hits, however, and the Bill likens scored chiefly on his wildness
