FLASK AND WAGERS
GONE. FROM BATTLE
YaIe's Two Big Games Will Miss
These Marks Of 0Id-Time
JoIIity.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov IL
Yaie's big football games. as her I'M
.derrraduates call the Princeton and
Harvard matches. will be played this
year with two notifications which
have never before been possible. In
q double sense they will take place
on a prohibition basis. IL 10 far cry
from the scenes In the football stands
q quarter century ago when. gener-
ally speaking, every spectator carried
a pocket flask containing some stimu-
liant TO be used for internal applica-
ton at least during intermission and
usually In the excitement incident to
q touchdown or a spectacular held
goal. At that time every cafe win
dow contained a variety OF pocket
masks adapted 10 service at the foot
ball field.
This display OF equipment, which
was usually regarded as protection
against the chilly weather OF late No
vember. has long since disappeared
from the football stands. but a Yale
Harvard or Yale-Princeton match
without liquid accompaniment will be
a genuine novelty.
Yale undergraduates soon at the
idea that the enthusiasm will be dam
pened by the absence Of the liquid re-
freshments. They point out that the
outbursts of vocal excitement In the
stands have been more spontaneous
and heartier In volume with football
on a prohibition basis this fall than
ever before.
PLAN NO CELEBRATION.
1t Is confidently expected, also. that
the celebration following the game
will be considerably modified. because
of the changed conditions regulating
the LIQUID used In the exercises.
Neither Yale nor Princeton plans to
make any outburst In New York city,
no matter which wins the game in
Jungietown, although the undergradu-
ates Of Yale have already bought up
most OF The house in two or three
New York musical shows for next
Saturday evening.
A comparison between a Yale or
Princeton victory at present and that
Of a quarter century ago indicates
that a genuine revolution has taken
place in the ideas of the Yale under
graduates governing exuberance of
spirits incident to an athletic trt-
umph.
Fully as great a change has taken
place In the attitude Of the under
graduates regarding betting. but this
Is OF a more recent date than even
liquor prohibition. The revelations in
the professional baseball world the
past few months have completely
changed the attitude OF the students
regarding plunging financially on the
outcome of the big football games.
There is not a tenth Of the betting at
Yale on either the Princeton or Har.
ward games that has been recorded
in former years.

RETAIL GROCERS LAY
CARDS ON TABLE, FACE
UP, IN SUGAR QUESTION

Several retail grocers called at the
Ardmoreite office today and have ex.
hibited invoices of sugar, both cane
ana beet, and these prices range from
ll.9l cents q pound for beet sugar.
to about u cents n pound for cane, or
eranulatcd sugar.
Accompanying these invoices are
bills of lading showing the freight
that has been paid.
The erocers are playing with the
cards face up, and any customer can,
at any time, get correct information
as TO the cost of sugar.
The wholesalers have published the
prices they pay at the mills and the
prices they receive from the grocer.
The grocer in turn has published
tine price he pays and his selling
price.
Despite these statements the com
plants of profiteering is made.
In the face Of these figures there
is no chance for profiteering, unless
the grocers were to deliberately sell
beet sugar at cane sugar prices, CT
unless he mixed the two sugars and
sold at the cane sugar price.
40 customer has ever made n com
plant like this and it looks to US
like the retail grocer has come clean
with the public and that the profit
eering charge is unfounded, unless II
has been done as Is pointed out here
and any customer should detect a
trick of this kind in moment.

DEMPSEY'S FRIENDS ALL
DENY THE CHARGES THAT
He WAS A DRAFT-DQDG GER
AND STACKER ] j R \ {
TENURE EUROPEAN WAR

Los Angeles, Jan. 14.--Denial of
charges that Jack Dempsey was a
draft dodGer" and Stacker" and de.
fense Of his conduct during the war
was made by Jack Kearns, Dempseys
manager, in signed statement issued
here today.
The statement follows:
Jack Dempsey was not draft
dodger' during the war. Anyone who
makes such u chargJ can not sup
port it with facts.
when the draft came, Dempsey was
placed in class 4.A, because he was
a married man, and, in addition, was
supporting a mother, an invalid broth
er and u sister. Dempsey made no
claims for exemption,
"Some time later the draft board, re.
adjusting classhcations, placed Demp.
sey in Glass AL but almost immedi.
ately afterwards, put him In Class 2.B.
He remained there during the rest of
the war. If the conflict had lasted a
few weeks longer, it seems a certain.
ty he would have been in the uniform.
cd service.
During the war Dempsey was EN-.
ployed as a riyeter in the Sun Ship.
building plant, of Philadelphia, and al.
so in shipyard in Seattle. He also
was appearing in nstic contests at
benefits for the different war Chart
les. BY this means, approximately
100000 was raised for the various
war funds.
Dempsey not merely fought with.
out cent remuneration, but paid his
travelling expenses to and from each
battle-ground and each cantonment.
He was frequently broke as con.
sequence.
Dempsey fought Willie Meehan in
! San Francisco for the BENEFIT OF the
war charities fund. The fight drew
about s27 900. At least SIS 900 was ada.
| ed in Brooklyn at the benefit by the
knights Of Columbus, because Demp.
say agreed to appear in an exhibition
bout.
Dempsey chased Jess Willard all
over the continent to get him in a
| fight and agreed at all times to do.
nate his services. lie was matched
with Willard in Chicago under the
auspices of the Salvation Army. Both
! Willard and Dempsey appeared. ready
to go on. but Mayor Thompson stop
ped the exhibition, although $4,000
worth Of tickets had been sold
| "He also appeared twice in New
York, Denver and nearly Il score OF
small cities, and in many of the can
tonmcnts and naval training sta
tions.
Those who are charging Dempsey
with being n Stacker, because he
worked in the ship yard-and help
ed to raise nearly 100000 for thu
various war charities, apparently hay,
overreached themselves in theil
charges. For BY that contention they
are smudging the reputation o.
every other exempted man who sery
ed the nation in the army at home.

DUST OFF THAT OLD
PALM BEACH SUIT AND
TURN YOUR SUMMER SOCKS

New York Jan. 14.-Further increases
in the price of mems clothing with
out much change in style, were pre-
dctcd by delegates who attended the
tenth annual convention of the Inter
national Association OF Clothing De
signcrs here.
Labor contributes about 80 per cent
TO the cost of a suit, it was said.
While the supply Of woolen cloth
was said to be increasing the design
ers offered little hope that this would
decrease the cost of clothes.
The designers were dsinclined to
believe reports from London that pur-
pie, gold and bright colors would he
worn 10y men. and declared that CON
servatism both as TO cut and fabric
would prevail in the United states
and Canada,
