WITH JACK VEIOCK,
International News Sporting Editor

NF'V YOPE, Aug. 81. y. S)-
One by one the veterans whose names
have been fixtures IN the box scores
for years are fading out of the major
limelight.
News of the release Of such players
es Lefty Tyler by the Cubs, Chet
Thomas by the Indians and Eddie Aim
smith by the Tigers has recently come
drifting over the wires to remind US
that Old Pop Time is still up to his
pranks.
These players. great in their hey
day, have outlived their usefulness In
the big show, and there are many
others who will soon be drifting back
to the minor leagues or into perman-
cnt retirement.
Such It'd bits on the sporting pages
must surely furnish the young fellows
In the minors with new inspiration.
They know, or should know, that the
coming of another Spring. will see
many Of their number trekkng South
ward with the majors. and there isn't
a busher Of promise but who has
dreamed Of graduating to- big time.
1t will not be so very long until fully
60 per cent of the, real veterans now
wearing the big league uniforms will
pass along. such players as Konetchy,
Cutshaw. Killifer, Milan, johnson, Bo-
die. Nunamaker, Bush, Young. Foster.
Graney. Daubert, Sallce and Toney will
come to the end OF their strings as ma
ior league regulars In from one to
three more seasons. Some of them
Will pass along with the fading out OF
the present pennant races and next
spring the major league owners will
no doubt experiment with a greater
number OF minor league recruits than
at any time since before the war
Baseball needs the fire and speed OF
new and younger blood The grand !!
old pastime must be made speedier |
and more attractive, for this IL fast |
age and the fans demand the best.

iJURIST DECIDES PEOPLE
OPPOSE PRESENT LAWS

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. S.--CBy War.
rem Wheaton, /. N. S. Staff Cores
IpondenD Are people generally re.
signed to prohibition?
They are not. They don't want sa-
looms, but they do want to drink.
That's the answer given by Supreme
Court Justice Henry V. Borst, of Am.
sterdaw, after several weeks in New
York City, where he was sent speci-
Tally by Governor Miller to handle dry
law violations exclusively.
Other observations of the jurist
who disposed of hundreds of viola.
tions, but found himself nearly nun-
dated by daily amazing increase,
are.
You could never get jurors to con-
vict in prohibition cases if they knew
| defendants We're to go to prison.
Fines are sufficient penalty in
prohibition cases,
Soft drink dispensers should be
taxed.
New Workers will drink even if
they have to manufacture 1t.
In many cases arrests were not
justified.
But here's what Justice Borst says;
Il shall recommend legislation pro-
viding for an excise tax on places
whore legal beverages are sold. Many
former saloon keepers are operating
soft drink places. They never take
chance themselves. but their walters,
former bartenders, run risks for them
by carrying IN their pockets smaii
container, with one or more drinks o.
whiskey. which they sell to trusted
customers, We may punish the wait
err, but the proprietor will prove his
innocence legally-and hire another
waiter
Will Manufacture Their Own.
These soft drink dispensers are
charging excessive prices. To assess
Il tax on them is the only way of re-
covering part at least of the unjust
profit for the public.
New York City has great prob
lem before ii in the state dry law.
The problem is greater than in the
country districts for the reason that
defendants in cases i'm other commu-
mites plead guilty by advice of coun-
sci and thus save the cost of trial.
Conditions are. different in New
York for the reason that the police
place u man at a point where arrests
are to be made on the ground that it
is nuisance, and so attorneys nat
urally hesitate about advising their
clients to plead guilty.
Fines are a sufficient penalty in
prohibition cases. and one never could
get Jurors to convict if they knew de-
PENDANTS were to go to prison, so fines
facilitate convictions.
New York is great cosmopolitan
city, and its people will drink. If they
can't buy their liquor they will man
ufacture it.
''If VIC go after the saloon keepers
properly they will soon know that we
arc serious in the enforcement of the
law"
Justice Borst believes that liquor
sales will diminish day by day and
that many arrests made for dry viola
tions have been unjustified. How
ever. he says, that 70 per cent of the
cases brought before him resulted in
convictions.
