Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
Fly JAMES J. CoRBETT


 A great hue and cry has been raised by racing devotees because the Jockey club refused licenses to Lawrence Lyke, the leading winner in 1918, and Johnny Loftus, premier pigskin wielder.
 '"The absence of Lyke and Loftus in the saddle in 1919 will be a severe blow to racing" is the assertion
 But will it?
 Many persons thoroughly conversant with racing affairs disagree with that view and insist that the action of the Jockey club undoubtedly means cleaner and straighter racing around the met ropolitan circuit.
 Just why licenses were refused to these two star saddle performers is . mystery. The Jockey club never ex- plains to the public. It simply an- nounced that licenses had been refused and went no further. But it is an absolute certainty that the Jockey club had evidence strong enough to warrant it's startling ruling The club knew that the absence of Lyke and Loftus would provoke a storm of criticism. But just the same, the officials decided that the interests of the racing game would be served better if these two men did-not per form.
 Lyke and Loftus did something that made them "undesigable citizens as far as the jockey operations of 1913 are concerned What it was the Jock ey club and those involved alone know. But certainly it could not have been a minor offense, because the Jockey club is not harsh in dealing with petty and forgivable omissions. The barring of Lyl1e and Loftus will serve as a lesson to the other jockeys who might at some future time be on

ment, which was also submitted to
the city council, was put in the dis.
card. Only a few voiced their senti.
ments in favor Of the city manager

The majority of the aldermen did not
feel that the council be trusted with
the selection Of a mayor, and others
raised the objection that the people
would thereby have no voice in the
selection Of their executive.
The contemplated change in the
aldermanic system was FIRST brought
to the council In bill providing for
four years instead of two-year terms
for the city fathers and provided for
one alderman from each Of thirty.

legal advisers of government agencies
interested in liquor regulations ex.
amined statutes and executive orders
without finding special legal authority
by which the internal revenue bureau
can enforce war time prohibition

President Wilson might delegate
the authority to the revenue bureau,

ecutive order was issued.
A New York dispatch says:
New York. April 12.-Representa-
tives of the United States Brewers
Association asserted here tonight that
Revenue Commissioner Roper's ruling
on enforcement of the war time pro-
hibition act was "a recognition" OF
the position taken by Elihu Root and
william d. Guthrie, the associations
counsel, in the suit brought In federal
court here to nullify the act
The contention, 1t was pointed out,
was that neither the revenue depart
ment nor the United States district
attorney had authority to enforce the
act. With Mr., Roper's decision dis
posing of the likelihood of interference
from the revenue department, conf
dence was expressed that the last
''menace"--that of action by the dis
trict attorney-would be removed by
the result Of the suit
The case is scheduled to come VI
for hearing before Federal Judge A
