CONGRESS TO ACT
|. ON PROHIBITION
Committee on Monday Is Ex-
pected to Agree on
Wartime Bill
Ru Associated Press.

Washington, July 2.-Congress and
the Department of Justice has
moved to stop the sale of two and
three-quarters per cent. beer under
the wartime prohibition act.
Prohibition leaders of the House
after a. series of conferences obtained
q call for a meeting Monday of the
judiciary committee which is expect
ed to agree promptly on an inde-
pendent bill for enforcement OF the
wartime law, defining intoxicating
liquor as containing more than one
half of one per cent. alcohol'
At the same time the Department
of Justice made it plain that lts
agents would enforce the act ac-
cording to its Interpretation that
anything containing more than one
half of one'per cent. of alcohol can
mot be legally manufactured or SOLD
. Decisions of Federal Judge Rose
at Baltimore in favor of the brewers
and two and three-quarters per cent
+ beer and of Federal Judge Sawteile
at San Francisco against the brewers
and such beer threw the entire legal
status of low alcoholic beer INTO
uncertainty.
. Attorney General Palmer made 1t
clear that while his department
would proceed in an orderly manner
without wholesale arrests or spec
tacular raids, offenders against the
prohibition law could expect nothing
else than early and vigorous pros
ecution. Pending the settlement of
test cases it may be that evidence in
numerous similar cases will be gath
cred without arrests being made,
but if the Government wins in the
end, all will be prosecuted.

Toledo Charities Get
$4,000 From the Fight

"I am confident that l can beat
Willard. I can hit harder. Will hit
him often and will give him the
greatest whaling about the body he
ever received. l have had that same
in all my bouts, which
ended by the knockout route. But
ii was never more pronounced than
ii is in this coming one for the
worlds title.
This is tn slogan from Dempsey's
camp to-day, while Willard claims
he is in the best shape of his whole
life" Tex Rickard, looking on as
Dempsey tipped the scales at POI
pounds remarked:
Dempsey now weights only two
pounds less than Jack Johnson
when he took the heavyweight
crown from Jefferies. Old John l..
Sullivan used to say that a man
weighing 1870 pounds could lick any
body. If that is true, Jack certainly
has a grand chance. He ought to
weigh over 200 in the ring. That
would assure one of the hest fights
in the history of the game"
The Board of Boxing Control is
meeting to-day. In n general way it
is understood that in case of
knockout Referee Pecord will count
out the defeated man and there will
be no necessity of any action by
Judges Rickard and Biddle. If the
contest goes the limit of twelve
rounds the judges functiont will be
far more responsible. They will Sc
lect the winner by vote and if in
agreement the referee will simply
announce their verdict. In case they
disagree. however, Referee Pecord
will then cast a deciding vote and
the boxer who receives two of the
three will be declared the winner.
The same result VIII be achieved in
case two of the three vote in favor
of a draw.
Elaborate preparations are being
made to report the coming contest

Huge Sum to Charity
Toiedo's charities were enriched
by $4,000 yesterday when Tex
Rlckard turned over this amount to
& +. Wall, chairman of the Toledo
BoXing Commission. and Director of
Pubic Safety. The money repre-
sents the first payment on seven
per cent of the gross gate receipts
promised to Toledo's charities.
Later, more money is due the
charity fund, Promoter Rickard said.
The $4,000 was paid merely as an
advance on account. 1t represents
only seven per cent. of receipts of
approximately $4,000. Rickard to-
day admitted that the advance sale,
actual cash in hand, had already
gone beyond the 100000 mark and
was rapid approaching $500, 900.

st. Mary's, of Steelton at the Hill

showed Rabbit" Zerance. crack
third baseman. leading the batting
order and doing the pitching. Fer-
satile as Babe Ruth, the Rabbit"
made good on the mound, off and
on. but errors helped to put him in
Dutch.
st. Mary's arrived at the field with
no pitcher and Zerance volunteered.
with the result that in the first ses-
sion he kept the vacuum cleaner
going. But in the second he clipped
G. Swartz with a pitched ball, where
upon Murphy banged one for three
bases. sending home SwartZ.
st. Mary's forged ahead in the
third with two runs, Kirby obliging
with timely two-bagger. and ditto,
Boyles.
The renowned Nose" Swartz,
graduate from City Junior League
and now n star of fast company,
slammed the pellet for a brace OF
bags and again Zerance> shot a stray
ball into G. Swartz's carcass at the
beginning of the fourth. The stage
was set for Bowman, who accepted
the opening and hit a hard bounder
to left field. Unfortunately for Bow
man he neglected the little formal
ity of touching second base, so after
he had swung the circuit, he had to
rush out and attend to this matter.
having time to beat the return of
the ball. Rumor was that the horse
hide had been smote so hard that 1t
was nearly fiat.
The sixth saw Reading win with
the second slam from Murphy. a
two-bagger. on Bowman's fielder's
choice an error was made. making
both runners safe. A single by
Shartle scored Murphy and Bow
