PhiIlies VS.. Braves

Unless another upset occurs, 1t is diff
ficult to figure how the Phillies can hope
to outlast the Braves.
Stallings is too much stronger In the
box and around the inheld. Man for man,
the Braves look better in at least six
OF the nine official spots. And they have
already shown that they can absorb the
worst that Fate has to offer and still
swarm back to the assault with unfalter~
ing courage Which is quite a chunk of
IL, whatever the bally game.

HEFFERNAN KNOCKS OUT
TRINCKLE IN SECOND GO
West Philly welter Easily Disposes
of Opponent at Broadway.

VI VPPVIIVTIV 'lV
Joe Heffernan, the West Philadelphia
welterweight, added another TO his long
list of knockouts last night at the Broad
way Club by flooring Sammy Trinckle
In the second round OF tine wind-up.
The termination Of the contest was
decidedly sensational and proved that
Heffernan just now is one of the most
dangerous fighters In the welterweight
class in the country He has generally
been credited with being a one-hand
puncher, but last night he showed that
he could hit hard from any angle and
with either hand.
In the semiwind-up, Johnny Clark de-
feated Lew Singer in six lively rounds.
Lew Hunter knocked out Joe Bradley in
one round. Mike Russell knocked out AL
Edwards in four rounds In the opening
bout Eddie Rando stopped Bobby Dough-
erty in three rounds.

IN PROHIBITION
(By Associated Press.)

CHRISTIANA, June 12.-An alcohol
commission which was appointed bby
Parliament three years ago to investi-
gate certain conditions and recon-
mend reforms, has just issued major
ity and minority reports. The Com
mission consisted of nine members.
The majority report, which is signed
by six. members, advise against the
prohibition of the import and manu-
facture of brandy spirits, but would
have the sale of spirits subjected to
the same rigid laws which are now
in force in Sweden, in accordance
with what is known as the Bratske
system. The sale of distilled liquors.
according to this system, is subjected
to the most rigid limitations. The
majority report also favors the Swed-
ish system for the sale of beer, ac-
cording to which beer below 2 IA per
cent alcohol is sold free of restric-
tions.
There are two minority reports. One
is signed by two members and recon-
mends prohibition by local veto; the
"Semlag" place Of dispensing liquors
to be allowed to import and sell spir-
its. The third member of the minor
ity recommends total prohibition, or,
that the prohibition of distilled spir-
its be decided by referendum.
The Norwegian Government sent i
Commission to the United Slater two
years ago to study prohibition and
other legislative conditions affecting
the liquor business in the United
States.
