There can be no question in the
mind Of any impartial person as to
the decrease in drunk and disorderly
conduct and other forms OF crime IN
any community where the sale or dis

beverage purposes is actually pro-
hibited.

GOOD EFFECT OF PROHIBITION
The demonstration Of tho effect OF
prohibition upon the public order
and moral life OF the community can
not possibly be gatnsaid. That ouee-
ton has been settled already by the
experience OF Virginia during the
past twenty DAYS
The ONLY question which now re-

which is asked by the enemies OF pro-

Hutchinson Plays Bril-
liant Game, Succumbs
To English Expert.

In a match that was not decided I'M
til the very last hole and the very last
putt, James Barnes, the Whitemarsn
Valley Country Club professional. won
the championship Of the Professional
Golfers Association on the links OF the
Siwanoy Golf Club yesterday. In ad-
dition to receiving the first title OF tho
Professional Golfers Association. he
got for his trouble a purse Of $500 and
a diamond medal, which was the win
ner's end Of the prize money presented
by Rodman Wansmaker.
Jock Hutchinson, the Allegheny
Country Club professional, was Barness
opponent in the final round OF thirty
six holes, and be proved to be worthy
opponent at every step Of the way.
1t was an Englishman against .
Scotchman, and a Scot that learned his
golf on the famous st. Andrews links,
where golf is supposed to have orig
mated. But the Englishman won by
the narrowest Of margins. so close, in
fact, that no real Scotchman would ad-
NIT that the issue Is by any means
settled.
Barnes won the match with his put
ter. Not only did he show the steadier
hand and the steadier nerve when
called upon to make that last putt Of
four feet, but az many times during
the round he used this same old-fash-
toned putter with telling effect. One
could hardly believe that the little
I Scotchman could outdrive Long Jim
Barnes, who has had a reputation for
years Of being the longest swatter in
the golf league, yet such was the case
yesterday, and not once but continual
/ ly did Jock put it up to his opponent 70
play first to the green.
The immense gallery gathered around
the last hole determined to see the fin
ish Of one Of the most exciting matches
that has been witnessed on the golf
links for many years. Playing the last
putt, a matter of four feet for Barnes
and four feet one inch for Hutch, the
winner was still to be determined
Johnnie Anderson measured the dis
tance each ball lay from the cup with
the flagpole.
! II was discovered that Jock was
fsrthest from the hole by at leeast one
inch. The Pittsburgh man putted, but
missed by a hair. With a trihe less
speed ne would have left his opponent a
dead stymie, but as it was Barnes had
plenty of room to get by, and he sank
It with cool elaboration.
Hutchinson Starts Well
Hutchinson started out in the morn
ing as il he intended to make a run
away match of it. After they reached
the eighth hole Jock stood up and

TIGER HARRIERS
HARD AT WORK
WITH MORRISON
Seven of Last Seasons Team
Still in College-FlOt0
Missing

Don Morrison's coaching made 1t
possible for the Princeton 'cross-coun-
try team to finish third in the intercol-
legiates last year, the best showing that
the Nassau team has ever made in the
big run. This season Morrison will
again be in charge Of the Tiger har-
riers, and from the present looks OF the
material on hand he should do IS well
as or better than he did last year.
Morrison was himself captain Of the
Princeton team two years ago, and once
took a second place in the intercol-
legiates. He is applying to the whole
team the same rules which he used 70
such good effect in qualifying as one OF
the best hill and dale men in the East
Seven of last seasons ten are still IN
college. Floto will be most keenly
missed. He was the best of the 1915
team and was one Of the first ten TO
finish in the Intercollegiate. Glover
and Captain Dowell. the other two who
graduated, can be replaced without
much difficulty.
Practice has already begun, with
Captain Copeland, Kennedy, DurelL
Boyd, Zunino, Shotwell. Tracy and Van
Deventer as the most likely candidates.
Shotwell took thirteenth in the big run
last year and is expected to show i'm
provement this fall.
Boyd and Zunino are men who ran
for the first time last year, and there
is lots of room for the improvement
that is expected in their work. Dureli
is running with the 'cross-country
squad for the first time, as he was out
for football in 1915, while Tracy, Van
Deventer and Hargreaves are the pick
OF the sophomores.

COOMDS WEARS
HARNESS WHILE
HE'S PITCHING
Never Fully Recovered from
Long Illness, He Works
Under Handicap

The pitching feats of Jack Coombs
during the last year have awakened the
admiration Of baseball fans throughout
the country The Colby veteran re-
turned to the pitching box after an i'll
ness that would have driven nine men
out Of ten into retirement. Even now
he works under a handicap that would
rob almost any other pitcher Of his
effectiveness. He wears more straps
and braces than a football player, yet
he works along with an easy swing that
IS most remarkable.
Every time Jack gets ready to go out
OIL the field he wears a heavy rubber
brace from knee to hip, and supple
mems this with yards and yards
of bandages. Jack adds a heavy steel
brace 10 this equipment.
All his protective devices do not
rob him Of his speed and agility, for
Jack is rated as one of the best fielding
pitchers in the major leagues. He is
hitter of ability, too, and there are
no pitchers who make a practice OF
passing the catcher to take hack at
Jack.

BRANNICK PINS NEW
NAME ON OLD MASTER

Among ballplayers. especially the
Giants, Matty is often called Commo-
dore, and there is an interesting little
story behind the name. Eddie Bran
nick, the assistant secretary of the
Giants, has been a great admirer Of
Matty for years, and though the two
became fast friends some years ago.
Eddie always addressed him as Mr..
Mathewson.
One day Matty requested Brsnnick
to drop the Mister" when speaking to
him. At the time, the big pitcher had
on his coat a pin with the word Com
modore" on it.
"All right, Commodore" replied
Brannick. and the name has chung TO
Big Six ever since.
