Maine Governor Gets Crookde
Sherifs on Carpet

Augusta, Maine, April. - Acting
separately, the two branches of the
legislature of this state, by decisive
vote, have recommended the removal
of L. w. Moulton, sheriff of Cumber-
land county and John w. Ballou,
sheriff of Sagadahoe county, for non
enforcement of the Prohibition law.
Four other county officials are await
ing action of the legislature.
These two officials owe their remov-
al to the fact that Governor Haines
believes laws are made to be enforced
and officials are elected to enforce
them. Like a bombshell was the mes
sage which he adopted into both
houses, and in it was the governors
declaration that faithlessness in the
enforcement of the Prohibition law
existed among sheriffs, but that he
would tolerate it no longer.
The message gave utterance to d
strong declaration by the governor of
his determination to use all the power
vested in him as chief executive, to
stop the nullifcation of law within the
state. 1t cited the evidence which had
been brought to him from citizens of
various counties tending to show that
the law prohibiting the maintenance of
drinking houses and tipping shops is
not beirS enforced, particularly, he
said evidence has come strongly from
Cumberland county and the city CT
Portland.
Action on the complaint of the gov
ernor is pending in the legislature in
the cases of the following: Sheriff
Albert ]. Tolman, of Knox county;
Sheriff Low, of Androscoggin; Sheriff
Emerson, of Penobscot; County At
torney Hines, of Lewiston.
The legislature adopted the address
of Governor Haines in the Moulton
case by the following vote: In the
senate, 20 to II; in the house, 80 to Ga.
Under a former governor no attempt
to enforce the Prohibition law was
made, and some startling develop
ments are expected as a result of that
policy. The cry has gone up all over
the land, among the vets, that Pro-
llibition doesn't prohibit, and it was
some of the Maine officials who do
not care for their oaths of office, who

-FOUR TEAMS ARE
IN THE MATCH RACE
Hill and Bedell and Spears and
Cory Favored for Motor
drOme Feature.
MAC NAMARA AN ENTRANT

The four-cornered team match race
on the program for the Stadium
Motordrome meet tomorrow night is
attracting considerable attention.
The teams will be made up of Spears
and Cory, the Australians; Eddie
Root and Eddie Rupprecht, Freddy
Hill, of Boston, and Menus Bedell,
Of Lynbrook, Long Island, and the
Drobach- Halstead combination
While admitting that Spears seems
to have an edge on any Of the other
riders, with the possible exception
of Hill, when it comes to match
race at the French style, there Is
considerable doubt in the minds of
the railbirds as to just how he will
make out in team race where eight
men are involved. In Cory, Spears
has q teammate who is a real bat
tier, as was evidenced by his re-
quest to be substituted for Spears
in the tandem paced race against
Root last Sunday, and the great
showing he made when he went
around the Boston boy in a gruelling
finish.
The Hill Bedell com binatlon looks
to have more than an even chance
to win the race. Just at the pres
ent time Hill is the best all-around
rider at the track. He has won more
races in the past month than any
of the other professionals. He Is
able to go a full quarter-mile at top
speed, and with Bedell to deliver him
in the right position for the final
jump, he needs only an even break
to give him a chance to outsprint any
of the others with the possible excep-
ton of Spears. Spears has not been
thoroughly tested as yet in hard
run race, and it remains to be seen
whether he has the necessary
stamina and vitality to stick behind
his partner for lap or two at top
speed and then come away with his
sprint for the finish. That Hill can
do this has been demonstrated more
than once at the Motordrome, and it
would not surprise the knowing ones
to see the little Boston rider carry
off the chief honors for his team in
tho match race.
All of the big money-chasers will
take part IN the HVe-nllle a. H. u -.
championship event. Reggy MacNa-
mara, the Australian rider, who is
recovering from a badly injured leg,
will make his first American appear
ance In this race, and will also ride
in the other pro- numbers. His
leg is still in bandages, but the Aus
tralian says he will be able to give
a good account of himself, as he has
been carefully working out for the
last three weeks
Root, Spears and HILL are the
scratch men in the fifteen-lap pro
handicap. There are special lap
prizes in this race, which will insure
a hard pace all of the way.
The amateurs viii have half-mile
novice, a one-mile open and n TWEEN
ty-lap handicap In which to display
fher prowess. The excellent showing
made by Willie Hanley in his last
two races has caused the Handicapped
to place him on scratch along with
Tommy Smith and Gus Wohlrab in
the race.

Woman Champion
at The Age of 90

DENVER, July 11.-Mrs. Bertha
M. Rose, SO years old, is the cham
pion swimmer, dancer and horse
back rider, and one of the most
prominent participants in the IN
ternational German funniest here
Despite her years, Mrs. Ross
nimbleness was the envy of girls
of from is to 20 who took a part IN
the funniest.
Not only has Mrs. Rose proved
that advancing years are no bar
to athletic prowess, but she did
not begin to acquire her skill in
that direction until she was close
to fifty. She was more than %.
when she learned to swim and IS
when she first danced. She was
so before she first became inter-
ested in turner work.

The mayors of New York State are
out for local option in regard to Sun
day baseball playing To make good
in this respect, they have appointed
committee to call upon Governor
Sulzer and urge him to send mes
sage to the Legislature recommending
such law. This would mean that
cities which desire baseball on Sun
day could have it according TO law.
The league in New York State, it is
claimed, is a failure without Sunday
ball, whereas the organization would
be a most healthy one if the law did
not prohibit the sport. Efforts have
been made to play Sunday ball in
some of the cities, but objection has
always overruled the efforts. The
recommendation of the mayors, it is
believed, is looked upon with favor by
the governor.

Brooklyn, now in the second divi-
sion by the fraction of a point, is
sure to lose much prestige. When the
Superbas were up near the top fight
ing they were given all the attention
in the world. Preparations were in
the making long ago over across the
Big Bridge for taking care of the
crowds for the worlds series, but 1t
looks now as If all arrangements can
be called off without taking any
chances. 1t was good luck that
Brooklyn got off to a flying start, for
it gave Charley Ebbets numerous
ball park. Just how many holidays
were on the schedule it would take
some counting to enumerate, but
each and every one of them came in
handy at most opportune time. Oc-
casional ups and downs caused the
Superbas to slip, but the real slump
is just on and today finds them
enseonced in second division berth.
For Mr.. Ebbets, the owner, every
body has sympathetic word, but it
will take some explaining on the part
of Larry Sutton, scout, to account
for the clubs position.

Frank Million received a cablegram
today from Thorwald Ellegaard that

trial horse, and then could follow

in charge of the affairs of the "out-

M. Chapman, who managed the Bos-
ton race last year, said he was
neither surprised nor disappointed
when he discovered that he would not
be able to rent the Arena for a six
day race for the ". C. A. riders.
I'VE will race somewhere else" Mr..
Chapman said.
@
The Motordrome magnates. it is
said. feels sure that the fact that
they have secured Madison Square
Garden and the Boston Arena for
six-day races will have telling
effect on the situation in Europe
The claim is made that all the
foreigners necessary will be secured
to ride in both races. The N. G. A.
moguls say that the foreigners are
the greatest stickers in the world
for organization and that they
wouldn't join an OUTLAW" move
ment nohow. They are proud of the
fact that it took five years before
the foreign cycling bodies would
recognize the N. C. A. However, the
Motordrome promoters have shown
such sterling ability in pulling off
coups that nothing they might do
would be much of a surprise.

Jackie Clark is playing both ends
and the middle as between the Velo-
drome and the Motordrome. He
hasn't signed contract for next
year with Messrs. Million and Chap
man and, it is said, he doesn't in
tend to. All the other stars,
Kramer, Goullet. Grenda, Cavanagh
and Fogler, have put their names
to contracts and evidently mean to
make a fight for their end of the
game. Clark is playing safety. it
would seem. The boys who are now
at the Motordrome changed their
allegiance without asking any odds
of anybody. They have taken a
stand. 1t is many times more sports
manllke than being ION the fence"
g
Verris defeat of Grenda at Phila-
delphia last night Is more evidence
that the Italian is cyclist of con-
siderable class. The races in which
Verri has been beaten at the Velo-
drome, outside of the one with Kra-
mer, were mostly because of unfair
rnafbodc Roth CLARK and CaUannpb
gave him a rough ride, but it is said
that the Italian himself is there with
some rough stuff that is sure to win
more than one race Just for the
many fans by doing to others as 9th
ers have done to him.

While Goullet will tell you frank
ly that Kramer just at present is
too much for him, especially in |
match races he still insists that some !
day he will be not only the champion |
of the U. s. A, but also of the world. !
He is so sure that ne will win the
American title that he is already
preparing to wear the crown in a
fitting manner. Goullet just now Is
busy seeking his naturalization
papers and he intends to become an
American citizen as soon as the
law will allow him. For a time of
late, Goullet has been off form and
his racing hasn't been up to the
mark, 1t looks, though, by his vic
tory over Clark, Cavanagh and Fog
Ter at Philadelphia last night thai
he is back again on the Job. He is
going to make a strong bid for the
championship this year, but Kramer,
of course, is sure to be in his way.
Now that "Goullie" is back in shape.

GEERS LANDS TWO RACES

| CLEVELAND, July 1l-W1th ap-
parent ease, Marigold, Murphy driy-
ing, carried off the 5000 Ohio stake,
yesterdays big event. in straight
heats. at the North Randall track.
The veteran Pop" Geers, who, un-
til yesterday, had not won a heat,
took first in the champion pacing
sweepstakes and the 2:15 trot. Stet-
brine Lad, a strong favorite in the
2:14 pace, repaid the confidence OF
his supporters by taking the event in
straight heats. The real contest was
between Ellsworth r. and Isaac B.,
as Rodney seemed to be able to land
Stetbrino Lad in front with ease. In
the third heat Murphy nosed out
Isaac b. with Strathstorm, and cap
tured fourth money.
The biggest field that has faced the
starter so far scored in the $1,000 club
stake for 2:1o trotters. A dozen
horses were given the word for the
first heat. In a driving finish Muir
rhy sent Marigold across a winner,
two lengths ahead of Tommy Horn,
the favorite. In the second heat
Tommy Horn got away in front, but
at the head of the stretch Marigold
moved up steadily on the others and
won handily.
The third heat was a repetition,
Marigold taking first money, and
Tommy Horn, on whom many had
placed their hopes and money, fin
ishing far back. Nearly all the bet
ter-known drivers in the country
handled a horse in this race. The
