have asked the brewers to tone down
their ads. But the brewers have a
nice irOnclad contract with the pa
pers that is said to run until next
spring and they intend saving most
of their ammunition until the "drys"
begin their campaign, which is due
to start in December. ..
The story noised around is that the
liquor interests got the tip that the
Trib, the Herald, the News, the Post
and the Hearst papers were going to
make a strong bid to the reformers
by giving lot of free publicity to the
dry crusade. So the brewers,
knowing they would be against it,
dangled checks for big amounts in
front of the publishers eyes and the
publishers fell.
DR.. Melville P. BOynton, pTOhibi-
ton leader in Hyde Park and dry
candidate for congress against Jim
Mann, accused The Tribune and the
other papers of "betraying the trust
of the people for a pot of gold" He
said the statements contained in the
liquor ads were vicious" and that it
was an Outrage for newspapers to
feed their readers lying advertise
ments for the sake of money"
Mrs. George M. Mathes, head of
the WOman's Church Federation, de-
nounced the newspapers as 'Gnsin-
cere." She also said it was "at least
inconsistent on the part of the news
papers to refuse saloon ads and then
publish a pack of lies in the form of
brewers advertisements. She add
ed: 81 wonder if it is because the or
ganized brewers have more money
than the saloonkeepers."

Federation, the Anti-Saloon league,

TWO SCHOOL GAMES
Western Beats Central and
Tech Defeats Business.
BOTH ARE WELL PLAYED
Two Runs in Tenth Give Red and
White Victory, 6 to 5-Other
Contest, 5 to 3.

Western High defeated Central High
in ten innings by to 5 and Technical
High won from Business by 5 to 3 in
the two contests played yesterday on
the ellipse in the high school cham
pionship series. The game between
Western and Central developed several
sensational thrills, while the other was
captured by Tech without a great deal
of trouble.
Western went into the last half of
the ninth inning with Central one run
ahead and tied up the count In the
first part of the tenth Central took the
lead again hy scoring once. but the
Red and White was equal to the oc-
casion in the last half of the period,
getting two men across with the ty-
ing and winning run.
Tech got a good lead In the early
innings with Business and the Stenog-
raphers could never quite catch up.
The Manual Trainers played better ball,
Business losing chances for runs by
rather poor work on the bases.
Pfeiffer of Tech and Peck of Western
were the winning pitchers. Each of
these men did some splendid work,
though there were brief moments when
they seemed to falter a little The
work of the four teams in general was
above the ordinary. Scores:

The Maryland Agricultural College de-
feated the nine representing Mount st.
Ioseph's College of Baltimore yester-
day at College Park by score of to
,. Both mines had bad innings, but
rather mediocre work on the part of
the first two pitchers used by the
visitors gave the Aggies a. lead big
enough to win.
Herbert. the left-hander who pitched
a no-hit game against Western Mary
land early last week. was started on
the mound for Mount st. Joseph's. but
he lasted only two innings. the Farm
ers driving him to cover before the
end of the second. Gibbons. who took
his place, also threw from his left side,
and he Jared little better. Both the
left-handers were wild and the Aggies
got hits at times when they were
needed Kittle took Gibbons place in
the sixth inning and pitched creditably
for the remainder Of the contest.
Mornhinweg pitched tho first seven
innings for M. A. c. and did very cred
table work. being hit safely only three
times in that period. He was removed
at the end of the seventh and Derrick
worked the last two.
The Aggies played much tho better
ball In general and deserved to win
for that reason. Mount st. Joseph's
fielded raggedly at times. Mess and
