Old Dope Hesifotingly
Thinks Suburban Race Is
Between ; of 10 Teams
Old Man Dopebucket may sometimes

Old Man Dopebucket may sometimes
receive awful wallOps and get kicked
all over the sport page, yet as a rule
he is a pretty reliable old vagabond.
And when he come forth with the
prediction that the Suburban league
will be a race between Centerville,
Richmond All-Starrs and Eldorado, not
much dissention is raised. OF course
any of the other seven teams may
slam the dope. That is to be expected.
Dope gets his inside information on
the three mentioned teams from per-
formances this season. Centerville
trimmed the Shamrocks, June 6, by a
10 to count. Whitewater won from
the ShamrOcks, Z to 6 last Sunday.
Thus Centerville appears to have the
edge.
The All-Starrs won their first game
from Lynn. They lad Boston trimmed
Is to 10 at the end Of four innings
last Sunday. Then 1t rained. The
game does not count. Eldorado won
its first game and then trimmed the
Richmond Miller-kempers, 16 to l last
Sunday.

TO MEET CARPENTER
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-Jack
kearne, manager for Jack Dempsey,
heavyweight pugilistic champion of the
world. announced today that Dempsey
would be ready within two weeks to
meet Georges Carpenter, the French
heavyweight or "he will fight any one
else in the world if Carpenter is un-
willing to talk fight Labor day was
suggested as the date for the proposed
contest.
Kearns issued statement asserting
that Dempsey's acQuittal yesterday of
a draft evasion charge in the United
States district court here left his
record clear and that there could be
no more whispered campaign carried
on about him. He said he and the
champion needed a two weeks rest
after the strain of the trial and then
they would be ready to arrange for a
bout with the Frenchman. Kearn's
statement in part, said:
NOW Georges Carpenter, we're
ready. If you have come to America to
fight, here's your chance. Jack Demp-
sey is free and ready to meet you
anywhere in the world. The chance
you have been asking for a crack at
the title is yours. The next move is
also yours"

New Potatoes Getting More
Plentiful, But No Drop
in Prices is Resulting

Alabama and Florida are the two
states from which Richmond is now
receiving new potatoes. A little later
the Carolinas will also be in market.
States farther west are getting new
potatoes from Texas and Louisiana.
The price per barrel varies, accord
ing to size and quality. One whole
saler quoted $3.50 per barrel for No.
l and S14 for No. 2. Another quotes
$3.50 and $3.50 for his two grades.
The smaller potatoes are less ma
ture, are more watery," said one
grocer.
This price prevails today in most
all Richmond groceries. You take
your choice. In the meantime new
potatoes are becoming more plenti-
full day by day and old stock is getting
harder to sell At the same time
good cold storage potatoes are still
quoted at IS to $3.50 per hundred in
Wisconsin and Michigan

Milton Stock.

Milton Stock Of the Cardinals isn't
leading the old league in sWatting, but
he's right up among EN- and has fur
nished some of the early seasons fire
works. Stock sWatted the pitchers as
they came in IS consecutive games at
one stretch this season before Grover
Alexander got his goat one day and
turned him back every time.
Stock broke into pro ball after leav-
ing st. lgnatus college. He joined the
Fon du Lac club in the Wisconsin,
Illinois league in 1911 and was drafted
by the Giants the next season. They
sent him to Buffalo under option, re-
called him the next season and then
shipped him to Mobile late in 1913.
Back to the big town went Stock again
in 1914 to cavOrt at third base in rs
ball games. s. TX showed the Giant
fans some mighty good Unfolding and
he hit around 300. The following sea-
son MCGraW sent him to the Pills in
trade for Adams, LObert and De-
maree. He played the same bag there
until he was traded 10 the Cardinals a
year ago. He is rated as one Of the
steadiest infielder in the biz and a
timely hitter.

EAGLES Will PLAY
CAPITALS MERITS

Sundays baseball program at Ex-
hibition Park has the indianapolis
Merits clashing with the Richmond
Eagles. The indianapolis team will
probably be the fastest team to ap-
pear here so far this season.
Although the Eagles lost to the
Dayton Rubbers last Sunday, rain is
believed to have caused the defeat.
MINER was going strong when the
game was called. Jones, Dayton pitch
err was being hit hard and frequent.
However, fans are satisfied with the
performance. Sundays game is eX-
pected to give fans a real baseball
treat. The Merits have been going
great this season. They have the
same team that finished a very sue
cessful year in 1919.
There will be several changes in the
Eagle lineup Sunday. Hewitt, out
fielder, failed to materialiZe. He will
be benched. 1t is possible that one
infield position will be changed.

more to tie up the lines than the cas-
ual observer can imagine"
Mr. Bailey explained that there are
100 lines on each switchboard, includ-
ing 10 incoming and 10 outgoing
trunks. Twenty per cent of the total
exchange subscribers can be cared for
at once at the present time. When
people needlssly hold up a switch
board with long conversations the re-
suit for the other subscribers is self
evident, he pointed out.
Very few calls can be justifiably
longer than five minutes, it is said
When longer it is usually for unnec-
essary reasons.
The estimation that 24,4S0 minutes
a day could be saved if every one
1aved a minute on each call means
that 4OS hours or "a twelve-hour days
could be saved every day.

sugar to meet tho new demand can
not be obtained for some time. So
he fears an increase in the drug
habit. Stimulation Of some sort is
sought by many, regardless Of con-
sequences. 1t would be a calamity,
indeed, if health destroying and
character wrecking drugs were to
exact a heavier toll of victims than
alcohol. The fact that the evil works
underground, SO to say, Is one rea-
son why the public is not more
awake to it. The advocates Of the
prohibition Of liquor, engrossed in
promoting their own reform, have
so far failed to realize the rise Of
the new menace.
The rising prices Of "soft drinks"
have already called attention to tho
economic consequences Of tho sugar
habit. These have advanced rapidly
and profiteering is general. Any
thing like a sugar shortage will, of
course, mean higher prices still.
That tho consumer should get it
both ways has become something like
a settled principle.

To the Assembly Sober

The Assembly of the State of New
York has formally resolved that
none of it's members was drunk on
the night when it ousted the five
Socialist Assemblymen. So be it. If
the Assembly prefers this interpre-
tation Of it's actions on that extraor-
binary occasion, let it have it's way.
But, strong liquor being thus
eliminated, what can be said of the
intoxication produced by the false
patriotism, the cheap heroics and
the perversion of historic American
ism fit to make our forefathers turn
in their graves? If ever there was
night Of intellectual debauch, Of
reasonable and level-headed men
led into a wretched blunder by clap
trap and vicious leadership, here it
surely was.
The action touching the Socialist
Assemblymen is irret-ievable. But
further outrages upon the American
system are being pressed for pas
sage. Weeks have elapsed. There
has been ample opportunity for the
Assembly to regain it's .poise. Can
we not appeal from the Assembly
drunk upon false reason to the AS
sembly sober?

'disloyal" to slavery? Time was
when Quakers were prescribed and
later Free Masons heard made
against them the identical argument
employed, against the Socialists. The
proposed Lusk legislation violates
sound American principle-marks
reversion to an odious spirit this
country has steadily warred against.
The motives Of Senator Lusk are
doubtless good end patriotic. But to
the degree his heart Is defended his
head must be indicted. He is pull
ing down pillars which uphold the
whole structure Of freedom under
law. To meet what he deems an
emergency he would introduce a
precedent certain to vex the future.
Before it Is too late Senator Lusk,
putting aside pride, should turn
back and withdraw or greatly alter
the bills which bear his name. The
record he is now making Is not one
on which he will be able to look back
with pride.
The Tribune is not friendly to the
use of strong words when discussing
controverted matters, but in regard
to the Lusk bill it believes it is war
rantable to say they represent apos-
tasy to all the deep principles Of
Americanism.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-15

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With respect to the state
police powers-powers which are clearly
defined and enumerated in the Federal
Constitution-the Supreme Court of the
United States, under date Of December
4, 1900, in the matter of the taxability
Of the dispensaries operated by the
State of South Carolina, ruled that ut
cannot be doubted that the regulation
of the sale Of liquor comes within the
scope of the police power, and equally
true that the police power is in it's
fullest and broadest sense reserved to
the states; that the mode of exercising
that power is left to their discretion
and is not subject to national super
vision" In other WORDS. the foregoing
decision Of the high court - although
rendered almost twenty years ago
would seem prophetically and auto
matically to dispose not only Of the
concurrent power" absurdity, but also
to invalidate the whole monstrous
prohibition amendment as subversive
and the very negation Of the police
power which "is in its fullest and
broadest sense reserved to the states"
Or if not, why not? Because what, in
deed, could be more conclusive and con-
trolling in the case now before the
court than its sweeping decision of
December 4, 1900, above quoted?
