PROHIBITION BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Federal Amendment Gets Re-
CURED Vote in Legislature.

1t has been many years since there
has been passed in the Maryland House
of Delegates more important legisla-
ton, in one week, than that passed dur
ing the days of the past week, which
have been most strenuous ones, and in
which there has been an unlimited
amount of oratory and the use of par
limentary rules.
One of the most important measures
to pass the House and be sent to the
Senate was the ratification of the Fed
eral Prohibition amendment, by vote
of IS to sc. 1t was passed by the Sen
ate to the third reading on Friday, and
when it comes before that body on next
Wednesday, when it has been made the
special order for that day, it will in all
probability pass by vote of 20 to 7, on
the final passage. 1t is hardly possible
that any Of the members OF the Senate
have undergone a change Of heart since
last Friday night, when they spent the
entire night in session, debating on this
particular bill, or rather the vets did
the oratorical act, at this time. The
vote as then 10 to Z, with Senator
Parsons Of Somerset county absent, and
ashe is bone-dry, the drys have an over
whelming majority in the upper House,
thereby insuring the passage Of the Bill.
lis TO be regretted that so much
time had 20 be used ia the House ca the
amendment in order to secure its final
passage, and that it did not pass with
much larger vote, as there are 60 mem
bers in the House who represent coun-
ties which are strongly dry IN senti-
ment, while quite few Of the Nom
bers from wet counties were dry, and
cast their vote in favor of the amend
ment. Delegate Fox, Of Baltimore
City. representing as he has one of
the Legislative Districts Of Baltimore

Merited Ability

The attention of the Mountain
eer was called last week by our
old friend Clement Hightower,
of Hondo, to the following ar
ticle in Worlds Work, relative
TO Mr.. Ralph Crews, son of our
neighbor. Seth F. Crews, Of Os-
euro, N. M. Ralph was appoint
ed about the first of the year
to the position Of Legal Advisor
of the Ordinance Bureau of the
War Department, because of his
signal ability as an organizer and
his great faculty for speeding
up business"
When Ralph Crews was seven
teen years of age-he is forty
now-he began the study Of law,
working as a clerk in his fathers
law Office by day and attending
the Chicago College of Law by
night. He was admitted to the
bar before he was twenty-one.
When only twenty years old
he was general counsel for the
National Packing Company-t the
old beef trust, since dissolved.
In this capacity he continued
until 1912 when the dissolution
came.
His chief chacteristics are
concentration and energy, for
example: He prepared the evil
dence in the trial of the ten big
Chicago packers accused of vio-
lation of the Sherman Act, which
resulted in their acquital. Dur
ing the trial, and without warn
ing the Government demanded
by the following morning a list
of all original stock holders of
all packing concerns there were
several dozen OF them affiliated
with the National Packing Co.
The counsel for the packers were
sure it couldn't be done. To
trace the countless changes in
ownership would involve a search
through scores of record books.
But Crews spent the night in
his Office. working there until
within five minutes of court time
the following day. He appeared
in court, as the bailiff sounded
his gavel, with a great
chart, showing ownership of
stock in all packing con-
Germs carried through, transfer
by transfer, down to the last
owners. He can recall any bus
mess transaction, even down
to any letter or document con-
nected with it, without resorting
to a file or clerk. He is a champ
ion concentrator. He plays
} whole h~eartedly as he works.
} Once out on the golf links
or reading history or driving
his motor, business is a blank
page"
II might be further mentioned
that Ralph Crews is a Repub-
lican. His appointment to the
responsible position he now holds
in the Democratic administration
is on the basis of merited ability.

Dear Uncle:
Received your letter a few
days ago, and was more than
glad to hear from you. Gener-
ally our mail is about two months
coming over here from the
states, but you can bet II Is we'll
read when it does get here. The
last mail | received was January
18th and was nearly seven weeks
on the water.
| hardly know what to write.
There are so many things Of in
terest going on over here that
the censor will not allow to 20
through. We have been here two
months and were fifteen days
crossing the pond" Fourteen
Of the fifteen days we were out
of sight of land.
We had remarkably nice wea-
Their on the trip, but we had
several good submarine scares
that we could have done very
well without. The last two days
of the trip everybody was on the
job, looking for the dreaded
periscope, for, believe me, there
are parts of the ocean that are

ly fortunate in escaping the
joys of sea sickness. We lost
one of our boys on the trip, and
he was buried at sea with mill
tary honors. After landing,
which | think was about the
happiest time of my life, for old
Mother Earth certainly did look
good to me. We had a four-day
trip by rail which took us to our
present camp. While we are
not in the immediate vicinity OF
the front, we are close enough
to hear the big Babies" when
there is any bomharding going
on.
Both sides seem to be making
preparations for the big doins''
this coming summer. All able
bodied men are in the army over
here. Women are acting as con.
ductors and brakemen on the
railroads, and the gentler sex are
doing the work of men in the
machine shops and munition fac.
tories. In the wine rooms, fair
French maidens have taken the
places of the big bar tenders and
every place one can see that the
women are working and the
men are fighting.
As to sanitation, it is merely a
word without a definition to the
French people. We passed an
infirmary one day. where we saw
the blood running through a
trough into the street from the
operating table. They dunn
their garbage wherever It is the
most convenient, very often in
the front yard. When we turn
loose this summer, there will be
something doing. II seems that
the kaiser has the same taste for
democracy, that a child has for
castor oil.

SQUAWK OVER MONEY Is BAD
Public in Recent Years Soured on Pro-
fessionaI Baseball Players
Fans Disguised.

The squawk of the Red Sox and
Cubs ball players prior to a recent
game in Boston. the threatened strike
because they could not see why they
should not be paid the same amount
of money handed over to worlds Sc
ries players of former years. is just
about the last straw that will break
the camel's back. writes William Peet
In Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The idea of refusing TO don their
uniforms before the game unless they
were guaranteed a certain sum out II
the worlds series receipts, and final v
backing down at the last miC ute be-
cause the handwriting on the wall was
plainly seen, is about as asinin and
foolish a piece of work as has been
chroncled in many day.
Such actions by knights of the
spiked shoe merely disgust loyal fans,
and when the game is resumed after
the war there should such a thor
ough housekeeping that every vestige
of the former Grasping, pampered
player be blotted from the map.

ATHLETIC TRAINERS
NOW HELP AVIAT0RS
Squad Of More Than Thirty As
sembIed at Aviation Field.
Plan Was Suggested by Walter Camp,
Head of Athletic Division of Navy
Commission-Idea is Endorsed
by Bob Hrenn.

Government announcement is au-
thorized that between 80 and 40 for
mer college athletic trainers, appointed
as conditioners of aviatorS. have been
assembled in a central aviation field
f9r final training and instruction, and
are ready to enter into their military
service, which is unique in the history
of aeronauties.
The preparation of the plan and the
selection of the squad have been under
the direction of Gen. r. c. Lyster. in
charge Of the air division of the sur
geon generals office in Washington;
Col. George H. Crabrree, Lieut.. Col. /.
II. Jones and Mai. F. T. Martel.
The plan of utilizing the college
trainers in the conditioning of aviators,
the most highly specialized branch of
military service, was suggested by
Walter Camp, head of the athletic di-
vision of the navy commission on
training-camp activities, at the annual
meeting of the National Collegiate as
sociation last winter. The plan was
Immediately Endorsed by the Aero Club
of America, and adopted by the gov
eminent, which has since been arrang-
ing details for the selection of the
trainers of the aviators.
A former college athletic star who is
now major in the aviation branch Of
the government and who has been ac-
tive in assuring the Introduction of the
innovation is Bob Wrenn, the former
Harvard quarterback and second base
man and intercollegiate tennis cham
pi0n.
Nowhere in the world has the spe-
cialized task of conditioning athletes
been developed as in the United States
and nowhere else in this country as
fully as among the universities.
Only those persons who have been
connected with this problem in both a
scientific and a practical way realize
the great delicacy of adjustment which
is required in a flyer Their physical
preparation is a vital part of their
work and the trainers who have Just
been sent to the aviation field possess
the confidence of the American public.

Willie Meehan, who surprised the
boxing world when he beat Jack Demp-
sey dec s'yely in a four-round bout at
Frisco is one of the freaks of the
prize ring.
Six years ago Meehan boxed as
bantamweight on the Pacific coast.
and since that time he graduated into
the featherweight class. Today
Meehan is meeting the heavyweights
as fast as they come his way. and he
tops the beam around 1870 pounds.
Despite the fact that Meeehan never
possessed a knockout punch. he has
succeeded in making a reputation as a
boxer. To see Meehan in action with
out looking at his face would remind
old-timers OF Mike Schreck, when the
Cincy middleweight was in his prime.
Meehan was never considered a

Meehan. aside from beating Demp-

they would get the money.
Madden started another two-year-old

last race. Replying to countless ques-
lions for the right information, the
turf wizard said:
MY filly needs a race or two. but l
mink she will be third"
Nothing doingr" exclaimed one Of

Maggie Maitland secured third

TEAMS SELDOM MEET TWICE
Cubs and Tigers Are Only Clubs to
Monopolize Worlds Series for
TWO Straight Years.

Chicago and Boston have had more
than their share of worlds series,
though this is the first time the two
cities ever contested in one, but it is
seldom the same teams have net each
other more than once. Baseball his
tory dating back to 1884 shows that
but three sets of teams have met the
second time and the Cubs and Tigers
are the only teams in modern baseball
history who have monopolized the big
series for two straight years.
The Cubs of 1906, 1907 and 1908
won three straight pennants for Chi
cago in the National league, and their
first worlds series in modern compe-
tition between the National and Amer
lean leagues resulted in defeat at the
hands of the Waite Sox. The next
two years, 1907 and 1908, the Cubs
battled Detroit in the fall classic, and
on both occasions annexed the bunt-
ing.
In title series for the worlds cham
pionShip prior TO the formation of the
American league the Chicago Nation
ais and the famous old st. Louis
Browns of the American association
met two successive years for the
championship-in 1885 and 1886. IN
1895 and 1896 Cleveland and Balti-
more met in what was known as the
Temple Cup series. played between the
first and second place clubs in the
National league.
While mentioning past performances
of ball clubs it appears that the old
st. Louis Browns of Chris Won der
Abe established a record that will
probably stand for many years to
come. The Browns won four straight
pennants in the old American associa-
ton.
