SI,O00,00O Pruned From
Dry Enforcement Cost

The House Appropriations Com
mittee has reduced by S1,OOO,O0O the
estimated needs of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue for the enforce
nent Of the Volstead act and the
Harrison narcotic act during the
fiscal year 1922. The annual legis-
Iative, executive and judicial appro-
priations bill reported to the House
Yesterday provides that S6,5O0, 900 be
appropriated for this purpose. The
pending appropriation, however,
represents an increase of s1,O0O,0oo
over the sum given to enforce pro-
hibition during the fiscal year 1921.
BY the adoption of an amendment
to the sUndry civil appropriations
bill offered in the House by Repre-
sentative Volstead, the House gave
the Department of Justice 5000. 900
to employ assistant district attor-
news in the work of prosecuting vio-
lations of the prohibition law. The
Appropriations Committee had preyi-
ousIy refused 100000 asked for this
purpose by Attorney General Palmer.
According to the testimony Of
Millard F. West, Supervisor of Ac-
counts of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, II would require $751; 700
to carry on organization as of Octo-
Der Of this year for the enforcement
Of prohibition and S613,5O0 addf-
tional to maintain the organization
for the enforcement of the narcotic
act

MARYLAND TRACK
OWNERS TO FIGHT
RACECOMMISSION
Attorneys for Racing In
terests Declare Members
Are Unfit for Jobs"

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 1T was
rumored today that interests iden-
tifed with the Laurel and Pimlico
race tracks are considering filing
charges against the racing commits
sion with Governor Richie. Attor-
neys for the tracks have seen the
Governor and are said 70 have
voiced strongly their general i'm
preston that the members Of the
commission were unit for their
Jobs.
Nerihcstion OF the rumor regard
ing fling Of charges was imSossible
since none Of the race track people
would comment on IL, nor would
the Governor have anything 20 say
about II. The report is that he
will make no move unless formal
charges are presented These would
require him to sit in Judgment on
his appOintees, Messrs. Stuart OIL
vir. Joseph p. Kennedy and Y. Clay
TimsnUs.
The Bowie and the Hzvre de
Grace track owners are not involved
in the matter. II was said that
the Ptmiico and Laurel people had
been led to consider such action by
the feeling aroused when they an
peared before the commission last
Thursday TO discuss the amount OF
taxes which should be levied on
their tracks and the items which
might be deducted from gross earn
ings to get at the net earnings on
which the tax Is based.

YANKS MEET FAST
KEYSERS TONIGHT
West Virginia Quintet Claims
Championship of Two
States.

II advance notices stand for any
thing the Keyser collegians, of
West Virginia, who meet the Con-
grcss Heights Yankee quintet to-
night on the Yankee floor, are as
classy a bunch of basket tossers
as have been seen in these parts
in some time.
Claimants to the championship Of
West Virginia and Maryland. and
with a long string of victories over
some of the best college fives in the
country to their credit. the Keyser-
ties are coming to the District with
the firm determination of taking
the Yankees into camp. Last year
they won thirty-one games and lost
two, the Coffey Club OF Pittsburgh
and West Virginia Wesleyan being
the only opponents to take their
number. The Coffey Club managed
to earn one decision in three games,
while Wesleyan was also beaten two
out of three times.
In Montgomery the Keyserites
claim the best guard that ever
donned a uniform" which is some
eXtravagant statement. Hoyt, the
6 foot 4 inch center, who is rated
Is one of the best in the business,
will be opposed to SaUber, the Yam
kee center man, who makes up for
his lack of height by his exceptional
speed and jumping ability. Capt
Gibson and Slocum are said to be
a fancy pair Iof forwards.
Despite the reputation Of the Wis
itors, the Yanks hope to add an
other victory to their already i'm
pressive list. Indications are that
the best crowd of the season will
turn out TO see the game.

WAR ON BIG RING
PROFITS SPREADS
Purse of Six Figures for
Boxers Now Seems Thing
Of the Past.

NEW YORK, Jan. Legal sep
aration of high finance and boxing,
started in New York, promises to
spread into every State where the
ring game is permitted.
Even If no national board of su-
perviston results from the confer
ence of State boxing officials here
next week, 1t seems from a poll
taken Dy the United Press that the
day OF a purse of six figures for
a two-fgure period of work is past.
The action of the New York COM
mission in limiting the price Of
seats was timely and should meet
with approval everywhere" Director
Cortelyou. in charge of boxing in
Philadelphia, wired. While it may
divert some of the larger fights to
European countries, inordinate
profits such as have been made by
boxing promoters generally are to
be frowned upon. The commissions
decision protects the public and
makes the stand that boxing bouts
should be free from gouging."
We believe boxing commissions
should control prices in order to
check promoters and protect the
public. The amounts fixed should
be left to individual commissions
to decide on local conditions" said
l.. H. Lightcap. chairman of the
Ohio boxing commission. We fix
prices in this State and find it a
practical policy. The action of the
New York commission is well taken" :"
we insist upon several hundred
81 seats. We have never set a limit
on seats, but the highest price ever
charged has been SO. We have re-
peatedly asked the promoters to re-
duce prices to benefit the real fans,
who can't pay high prices. The
promoters benefit in the long run,
as they always have capacity
houses" the Wisconsin commission
said.
The Bridgeport commission stands
back of the New York commission
as well as all other Connecticut
regulating bodies. although they say
prices have remained fairly sane
in that State
On the Pacific Coast a similar
fight is being staged by the news
papers against extortion.
