HOW PROHIBITION IS
WORKING IN WEST VA.
What Happened to the Biggest
brewery in the State, Now
Packing House.
BY Fred 0. Blue, Tax Commissioner
of West Virginia.

of West Virginia.
When the question OF prohibition
was first submitted in West Virginia
In 1888, it carried in only three coun-
ties, but when the same proposition
was submitted in 1912 it lost in only
three counties. Although the popu-
lation of the state has doubled, there
were 5000 less wet votes the second
time than the first. This vast charge
in sentiment was attributed to educa-
tion. The effects of alcohol taught in
the public schools since 1888.
The first thing we did after the
amendment had carried was to pass
real prohibition law. One of the
vets described it as having horns
We did away with the clubs and we
did away with the drug stores. No
physician in West Virginia can give
you a prescription for wine of whis-
key. They say you can't enforce it.
want to say that you can. Our po-
lice courts are practically idle. Last
week, for the first time in the history
OF the state, a grand jury adjourned
without finding single offense wor-
thy Of indictment.
l want to say that prohibition has
not hurt business Wheeling, which
was the wettest town in the state, has
turned her Brewery into a packing
house, and it employs three times as
tmany men as it did.
| In Charleston, the brewery has be-
come an ice plant, and we are to
have cheaper ice. so that the poor of
the city can acord it.
In Wheeling where there were IA
saloons in one block, every place has
been rented to another form of indus
try, some at advanced rents. A shoe
dealer located in that block, writes
that his business has increased 35
per cent since the city has been dry,
over corresponding period when it
was wet.

convey the impression that the Polar
Bears are inclined to be peevish in
their bearing toward the umpires. The
facts are that the Newport PLAYERS

DIFFICULT TO
FIGURE AVERAGES
Twin State Box Scores in Different Pa
pers Do Not Agree, Several Re-
cent, Instances Cited.

The problem of figuring averages in
the Twin State league is somewhat a
matter of guesswork, as is shown clear
" by some of the scoring Thursday in
different towns.
For instance, at Greenfield the official
scorer gives the description of a
double play like this: Eggers to
Leonard to Granfeld. The play was
made, according to Granfeld, Granfeld
to Leonard to Eggers, Eggers getting
tn. eout at third All of the papers
containing reports of the game tell of
the play at the plate on Sharpe in the
first on a hit Of Crowther to right
field, vet not one of the scorers gives
Devine an assist. According to the
scores in the Springfield Republican,

earned his salary with the Boston
Americans this week by holding CIeve-
land to two hits and Detroit 10 i've
Boston taking the first game 30 and
the second So.
Marquard and Adams pitched yes
terday the greatest game. 50 far as
length goes, ever played in the National
league. 1t went p innings before
Doyle S home run finally landed the
victory. Adams did not give base
on balls during the game and famed
six. Marquard issued only two passes
and struck out two.
Berran is out of the game with Dan
bury in the Atlantic league lust now with
a bad leg. Capt Guiheen Is hitting hard
and fielding brilliantly. The Danbury
team is now IN third place and going
strong The league leader, the strong
Cuban team Of Long Branch, was defeated
in two games Wednesday by Danbury,
the second being a shutout.
1t isn't very often that ball player
has the privilege Of playing in two
record games, but Jack Iloey Of the
Hartford club has had that distiuc-
ton. Back in 1906, when a member
of the Red Sox, Hoey played the out
field in the Ginning contest against
the Philadelphia Athletics. Tuesday
he was in the outfeld for Hartford
at New Haven, the. game going 3
innings.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-07-18

Leonard Is given Is putouts and one
error at first. The official scorer gives
him IS, one assist and one error. The
Republican does not give Eggers a put
out, whereas he should have had at
least one as the finish of the double
play.
The official scorer In Greenfield, tell
ing of the manner by which O'Hara
scored the one run of the game, said
that he singled and made second on a
close play, but insisted that there was
no error and that o 'Hara s hit was
not a double How O 'Hara got to
second was not visible except from the
scoring Of other reporters, who gave
Sharpe an error for his throw to sec
ond, which was high and wide and on
which O 'Hara SAYS he trotted to see
ond Manager o 'Hara LAYS no claim
to a two-base hit. The official scorer
gives Brattleboro four hits, the other
papers credit Leonard with a hit which
brings the Brattleboro total up to five,
but in all instances the errors are the
same.
Take the Newport Northampton
game: Conroy, according to the scores,
played first base AS a matter Of fact
he was on the bench and Mcdonald
change catcher, played first instead Of
right field, and Harrington, pitcher,
played right instead of Mcdonald.
When one stops to think that the pub
lished scores credit Conrov with a hit
he is not entitled to and leave out
Harrington. who made hit and had q
putout, = it is no wonder that averages,
both batting and fielding, as published
in different papers do not agree. And
these are only recent instances.

the fact that President Murphy was

GERMANS AGAINST EUROPE
Actual War Begins and all Europe
Seems to Be in the Game

The war situation has developed
rapidly in Europe the past week and
almost the whole continent is an arm
ed camp now. 1t looks as if it might
be the two German nations, Germany
and Austria, against all the others.
Russia took up the gage of Austria
and announced its intention of back
ing Servia. On this declaration Ger
many declared war against Russia and
gave France 10 hours to declare her
intentions. The French answer being
unsatisfactory, Germany declared war
against that country also, and asked
guaranteed Belgian neutrality de-
ritory to enter France. This being re-
fused Germany declared war against
Belgium. England having by treaty
guaranteed Belgium neutrality de-
manded that Germany respect that
country's rights and the Kaiser came
back promptly with declaration of
war against England. The German
invasion Of Belgium being checked in
the first battle, her troops then at
tempted to enter France through
Swiss territory bringing the little re-
public into line against her also, and
the German army is now entering
Holland and has demanded that Italy
declare her intentions Immediately.
The Kaiser is either drunk with pow
er to the point of insolence or else
the German nation is the greatest
power on earth today. The answer
will be written in blood in the next
few weeks, and will be awaited with
by all the world.
