D. c. bone Dry ISSUE
TOPIC IN BAL nMORE

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BALTIMORE. January 11.-Will
Congress make the District Of Column :
bia bone dry" is a question agitat-
ing the Baltimore liquor trade
Should Congress make Washington
bone dry it will mean the loss of
large amount of revenue TO Baltimore,
as well as leaving the dealers with
considerable Stock on hand when the
basis July l next. unless exorbitant
prices now charged are reduced. These
large stocks We're bought in most
cases before the extra tax was put on
in 1917.
Bootleggers Source of Profit.
As long as the saloons and whole
sale houses can depend on the boot
leg trade from Washington they have
no fear of not being able to practical
ly sell out before July l.. and at a
good price. If the District is made
bone dry there will be another
look for some bargain day sales in
wet goods.
An Example Cited.
AS an example of the enormous
profit made by Washington bootleg
gers Baltimore street saloonkeeper
told The Star representative about a
month ago that a certain negro made
two trips a month from Washington
and on each trip-which. by the way,
are made in his own $4,000 automo-
bile-bought between $3.50 and $500
worth of liquor which Melted him
about $500. Price made no differ
ence, as he simply sold it at three or
four times the cost. and had received
as high as $40 for a quart of whisky
that cost him 50.

SERIES COIN D|WY
HeydIer for Percentage Plan.
Joint Session to Take Up
Griff's Scheme.

NEW YORK. January IA change
in the method of distributing the
world series receipts has been sug-
gested by President John a. Heydler
of the National League, who re-
turned yesterday from Cincinnati,
where he ATTENDED the annual meet
ing of the national commissions Mr..
Heydler believes that no fixed amount
should be named for the players. as
was the case last year. He thinks
there should be an element of uncer-
tainty about the players shares and
farors naming a percentage of the
money instead of a stated amount.
Giving the players an amount of
money agreed upon in advance robs
the series, according to Mr.. Heydler.
of the element of uncertainty.
The matter of world series receipts
was discussed at the commission meet
ing, but no action will be taken until
after the joint meeting here next
week. President Heydier believes
more of a sporting proposition. The
amount of money shared by the COM
peting clubs will be decreased.
Hickey Mustered Out.
President Branch Hickey of the ST.
Louis club visited the league offices yes
terday and talked with President Heyd-
Ter over the st. Louis situation. Hickey,
who has served in France as a major in
the gas and chemical department, has
just been mustered out OF service. He
will probably represent the st. Louis
sf1lt Of ho onn harn NOV
Mr.. Heydler is opposed to the proposal
Of the minor leagues to lift the draft be-
cause it would stif1e the ambition of the
young players in the minors who strive
| to make good to win a place in the
major leagues. He said such a state OF
affairs would tie the players hand and
foot and would keep them at stand
still instead Of Offering an opportunity
for advancement.
President Heydler said the program
for the base ball gatherings here had
been arranged. The National ASSocla-
ton of Minor Leagues is scheduled to
get together on Tuesday, while on We'd
nesday the American League will meet
at the Biltmore and the National League
at the Waldorf. The same day the joint
meeting of the leagues will be held at
the Biltmore.
Change Draft Rule.
At the NduoIiai League Injecting tHe
waiver rule will be changed so that
when a club asks for waivers on a
player the waiver cannot be recalled.
The American League has already
adopted this change.
Mr.. HeydIer stated that he did not an
ticipate any change in the rules gov
erning the training season. National
League clubs are now limited to thirty
days training before the season opens.
He also said that there was strong
sentiment among club owners against
the sale of players involving large
amounts of money. Next week the
leagues will take up proposition offer
ed by Manager Clark Griffith which
would limit the transfer of players to
trades and by the regular waiver route.
1t also includes that players advance and
go back to the minors automatically.
Large money deals in base ball.
