WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Dr Harvey

American table" came out today with
plan to save il from the clutches Of
the food speculator. He wants muni-
cipal and State control of all food
supplies
The people have got to get this
thing into their own hands, Dr. Wiley
declared TO The United Press.
Federal control has failed so far TO
answer the purpose. Food supply is
too vital a matter TO be banded
about by unscrupulous food specula-
tors and laxity of Federal administra-
tion.
"The total disregard by food deal
ers of the existing cold storage and
other Federal food laws. and the
criminal laXity in administering these
laws. indicates the people must look
TO other measures for their protec-
ton

sentation OF cold storage for fresh

claimed.

food inspectors? And where are the

thing"
DR.. Wiley also took fling at the

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Classes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. - That a worlds champion does not achieve the distinction without a lot of hard work nor maintain his honors with out constant hard training is exem- plified in the case of Luday banger, the Los Angeles star. Langer is said to be a. hard and faithful worker in the matter of conditioning himself. A typical day in the routine of pre- paration for a meet which the cham pion undergoes is about as follows:
 At 8 o'clock in the morning he ap- pears on the beach in his bathing suit and takes long run on the hard sand, Then for nearly two hours he plays in the surf indulging in all manner of pastimes that will strengthen him, such as dragging an eight foot surf boat out through the breakers, lying flat on it and then padding it with his arms for half mile or more.
 His beach workout is topped with a couple of fast dashes in the tank. He lunches heartily at noon. Until 2 o'clock he rests and then goes to the gymnasium at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, where he works on the machines and plays handball for two hours. At 4:30 he again dons his bathing suit for a couple of fast sprints in the tank.
 Langer believes that rowing is an excellent exercise for strengthening all the muscles of the body, and he expected to include it in his training.
 Talk of revival of tug of war in San Francisco is meeting with consid, erable encouragement. A few years ago the knights of the cleats engaged in an international tournament which which lasted a week. The attendance came fully up to the expectations, and 1t is believed the sport would be con tinued. For some reason 1t was not taken up except to be added as a | feature event at occasional large pie nics or outings.
 Plans now under consideration in clude an international pull for eight teams, a second division to be made of teams of labor organizations; and third division composed of clubs and fraternities. These pulls, it IS proposed to stage in the open air arena within the next few months.
 In order to do away with any likeli hood of the men straining themselves the innovation of allowing an inter val of at least two nights between con tests will be tried out. In the past l teams have been required to pull on successive nights, resulting occasion ally in some participant being over come by the exertion. Teams already have begun systematic training. Al the last internationals the German and l Canadian teams made particularly i'm 1 pressive showings.
 Under the system to be inaugurated

there will be four pulls on the first night; with winners meeting winners and losers meeting losers in the sec ond round. The third and final round will be decided with the runner-up in each round. and the losers will pull against each other.
 Directors of the Spokane Country Club have obtained the necessary pro perty to increase the length of the golf course between 400 and 500 yards The length of the course now is slightly under 5000 yards, and while many championship courses are no longer, the course that approximates $500 to 6.70O yards has been found to be near CT the ideal.
 Pacific coast golfers who have played over the Spokane Country Club links will be pleased to learn that the distance between some of the holes will be increased While the general opinion of visiting golfers has been most favorable, 1t always has been qualified by the criticism that the course was a trifle short. Work on the extension of the course will not be undertaken until next fall in order not to interfere with the summer play,

Letters from members of the Santa Clara baseball team which invaded the Hawaiian islands, as well as re- ports in the Honolulu papers, indicate that the trip was not the success ex- pected. Neither from financial nor athletic standpoint has 1t realized the hopes of the promoters. The univer- sity players played far below the standard of which they generally are capable This resulted in many de- feats. and box office receipts suffered.
 Misfortune seems to have dOgged the footsteps of the players, Joe Ma her and Bensburg were badly injured soon after the teams arrival in Homo lulu. This necessitated a general shifting of the men into positions with which they were not familiar, with the consequent ragged play in which team work was sadly lacking. Poor defensive work is generally ascribed as the outstanding fault of the college team
 Roy Bliss, the Santa Clara left handed pitcher, is one of the few men who played up to his standard. He ac- quilted himself creditably and his work on the mound was favorably commented on by the Honolulu sport, ing writers.
