Now that the Legislature Of
Louisiana has shaped the pro-
bibition enforcement law, in
such manner that the Sheriffs
of the State can enforce it,
Sheriff Landry of this Parish
means to do his utmost to run
down all who persist in selling
overnight stuff and bring them
before Court for punishment.
We had intended devoting a
little space in this issue to the
fragrant violations on the part
of a few moonshines who have
been selling liquor to minors
which is also a serious offense.
The Sheriff's letter to the public
is a warning that should have its
effect and all who disregard it
and are apprehentled will suffer
the consequence. His notice
to the public reads as follows:
~The enforcement of the Vol
tead Act is not in the province
of the Sheriff any more than is
the enforcement Of the State
Law in the province of United
States Marshals. For that rea-
SON l have never sought to ex-
erciSe authority not given me.

On Thursday night between
II and IL o'clock the large plate
glass of the Riviere Jewelry
store" adjoining the Jake We'll
dry goods establishment was
broken open and several hum
dred dollars worth of jewelry
stolen. The entrance into the
window was made by throwing
q heavy brick against the front
plate glass and the goods taken
and then another hole was
made into the glass through
the vestibule opening. Accord
ing to reports we got of the
burglary, when the glass was
broken il was heard by several

Babe Ruth is king Of the home run
hitters only so long as he makes
those home runs In the major
leagues. One season with bush
league or outlaw team and his
record would begin fading. 1t would
be a mere matter Of comparison In
three years.
One year Of idleness would ruin
the slugger's batting eye. lie has
| happened to Johnny Killing when the
Cubs prince of catchers took year
off to play pool in Kansas City. No,
| II he would remain prince of slug.
gers and worth a fortune for his
ability, he must be ready with his
little old application on the morning
Of May 20, and that's just what he
will be.
It's a Hard Blow.
While it's hard blow to Ruth and
Meusel to lose ss.ss226. their indi.
vidual shares Of the recent big series
with the New York Giants, it's surely
q harder blow to the two colonies to
be informed that their ball club will
have to get away from the mark with
out Ruth and Meusel in the batting
order.
Nevertheless, without q seconds
hesitation. both Colonel Rupert and
Colonel Huston announced yesterday
| in Buffalo, where they are attending
the minor league sessions, that they
are standing staunchly behind Judge
Lands. They are looking ahead into
the future Of baseball itself rather
than merely the future of the New
York American league club.
In 1915 the Boston Red Sox chose
to break the rule adopted in 1911 and
each and every one OF them waS fined.
Babe Ruth was among those fined.
The fine was extremely small that
year Compared to the punishment
( handed out to Ruth, Meusel and Pier
eey now, 1t was but a flea bite.
VIII Tighten Race.
One effect Of this sentence OF the
Yankee trio will be a decided tighten
Ing Of next years pennant race. The
Yankees are appreciably stronger
than several teams in the league, but
If they are to be held back for six
or seven weeks, 1t will be a grand old
iamboree once they begin overhauling
some of the clubs ahead of them.
The Yankees are not any too strong
| In the outfieid. They have Miller left
alone In centerfield. Bobby Roth may
start in right field, but he In long
way behind Bob Meusel in all but base
running, and one has to get on to
run the bases. Just what the Yankees
will have as an outfield can only be
guessed until the batting duo, Ruth
and Mousel, take their places again
| In the garden.
Another effect of Judge Lands de-
cislon will be a failure on the part of
| the Bambino to break his record of
home runs. Missing those first six or
seven weeks when the pitching 10
soft" will mean much to him in his
record hunt.
However, If there is to be discipline
on the diamond. Judge lands must
be supported. II is not TO be expect
ed that there will be any revolt on the
part Of either magnate or player.

Griffith at Loss.
President Griffith is attending the
minor league meeting in Buffalo.
N. T., with the intention of bolstering
his pitching staff by the addition of
at least one player from the Portland
club OF the Pacific Coast League. He
said today that he was surprised to
have Mcbride call on him at the
Lafayette Hotel and announce his de-
cision to remain away from the dia-
mond for at least one season.
Really" said President Griffith
over the telephone, IT can't say
much of anything as to what / shall
do. No, I'll not be manager, but
can't say very well who will be. I
suppose shall have to make some
new plans now before the season
opens"
George Mcbride was injured seri-
tously last summer when he was
hit o. the face by a ball thrown in
from right field by Earl Smith dur
ing the practice before a game at
Georgia avenue. That was in mid
hummer. He had not recovered from
he effects of 1t in October.
For many days he was kept in bed,
differing from a nervousness caused
~ the blow. When he rejoined
he team he suffered from severe
leadachs and bgan losing weight.
Vt the close of the season he looked
Is IL he had been drawn through q
hreshing machine. It is probable
hat he is still suffering from that
Jury.
Milan May Lead Team.
While President Griffith has COM
,eted no plans for the future, 1t is
lutte to be expected that zeb Milan,
he veteran outfielder. will be placed
charge of the ball club. When
.IcBride was hurt last summer Milan
ook charge, and led the Griffmen

put one who knows how to talk very
much to the point when the neces-
sity arises. He Is an earnest, hard
working ball player who given every
bit Of himself in every game. Off
he field one could not find a better
fellow than Zeb Milan, OF Linden,
Tenn.
President Griffith is going to
Tampa with the rookie pitchers in
February. 1t Is more than likely
that he will keep close supervision
over the pitchers all the season
TO come. His active days out in the
hot sun are done. but 1t is probable
hat he will accompany his ball
club throughout the 1922 campaign.
