SAYS DRY ACT ANNuLS
ALL CONFLICTING LAWS
Solicitor General King Files Brief
Supporting Dismissal OF In
junction Proceedings.

Solicitor General King. in a brief
fled yesterday in support of federal
court decrees dismissing injunction
proceedings against the Volstea1 ACT
in Massachusetts, contended that the
eighteenth amendment aanuls all con-
dieting state and federal laws pre-
viously passed. The amendment, the
brief added. does not take from the
states authority to enact similar en-
forcement legislation except to the
extent that the comforting of a con-
current power upon Congress may be
a limitation"
These contentious were designed to
refute arguments that the amend
ment operated to abolish all powers
which either Congress or the state
had previously exercised over intoS-
icating liquors.
Appeals in the case Will be argued
Monday with the Rhode Island suit
and the Kentucky distiiieries case.

BARONS LEAD ALL.

The Birmingham Barons led all other
Southern league clubs when 1t comes
to sending talent to the big show. The
Barons have a working agreement with
the Pittsburgh Pirates whereby the
majority athletes developed by Carl :
ton Wordsworth, the chubby leader OF
the Barons, are turned over to the
Pirates give the Barons their rockies
for the developing process
This season the Pirates turned over
Clyde Rsrnhart to the Barons, and
Barnhart came out wonderfully under
the tutelage of Wordsworth who Is a
remarkable baseball developer. He has
many cases of getting blood out OF q
turnip to his credit. Barnhart looked
woefully bad when he first broke into
the Southern league, but Moley. eradi-
Gated the kinks and developed him into
such a star that he was practically the
unanimous choice of Southern league
critics for the berth of all-star third
sacker.
John Peters. the big catcher OF the
Barons, goes to the Philadelphia Ma
tionals by outright sale, whereas Bert
Griffith. an outfielder with the Barons
this year. has been taken aboard by
the Brooklyn Robins, National league
champions this year. Griff is only a
youngster and as he looked good down
here this year, he should stick with
Uncle Robby.
Two Birmingham pitchers, Whitley
Glazner and John Dewey Morrison, have
been sent to the Pirates by Wordsworth.
Both had fine years this season and
are ripe for a major league trial. Sum-
ma, an outfielder, who was with Biz
mingham earlier in the year, has also
been sent to the Pirates.

BROTTEM AND MILLER

The deal which Kid Elberfeld, man
ager of the Little Rock Travellers. made
with the Washington Americans which
sent Tony Brottem. catcher, and
Bing Miller, an outfielder, to the Sem
ators, was Cancelled by Elberfeld, who
said he has sold the players to the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Washington club protests the
last-named deal, and will take the mat
ter up with the National Baseball com
mission for settlement, where all phases
of the deal will be heard. The deal
was made with Washington by Little
Rock. whereby the Little Rock club
was to receive pitcher and outfielder
and cash for the two players. The
Washington club sent Outfelder Jack
Calvo and Pitcher Carlson to Little
Rock, but Carlson was in no shape
to pitch. which was the reason the Kid
called off the deal. He sent Calvo back
to Washington.
The two players, Brottem and Miller.
will be somewhere in the big show next
season, either with Pittsburgh or Wash
ington, more than likely with the WASH
ington outfit.

GRID COACHES
DISCUSS RULES
No Radical Changes in Code
Made Or Anticipated
by Committee.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-Conege foot
ball coaches discussed rules for the
coming gridiron season at the annual
meeting of the American intercollegiate
football rules committee here last night,
but made no radical changes A reso-
luton adopted interpreted as "unneces-
sary roughness' the practice Of Clip
ping, or cutting down by throwing
the body literally across the leg or
legs of a player, not carrying the ball.
from behind. 1t also was decided that
n player may bump an opponent from
the path Of teammate carrying the
ball provided he did so without using
his hands.
The questions OF the shift and doub-
ling of starting signals were left for
the ruling of the referee at each game.
A suggestion was made by Walter
Camp, the principal speaker, that the
referee use a horn in addition to his
whistle, to be used when calling a foul
so that the play may be completed,
leaving the referee to mark the place
where the foul took place. Mr.. Camp
declared that great progress has been
made in the elimination OF professional
ism in the college sport.
Among those present at the confer
ence were DIR, James A, Rabbit, OF
Haverford college, who presided Nate
Tufts, Brown; Or. Al Sharpe, Yale;
Buck" O'Neln, Columbia; George
Foster Sanford, Rutgers; Tom Thorpe,
Columbia, and John w. Helsman, the
new Pennsylvania coach.
