THREE MILES
 IS LIMIT FOR
 LIQUOR SALES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Transporta- tion and sale of alcoholic liquors on American ships anywhere on private 1y or government owned vessels and on foreign vessels inside the three mile limit is declared illegal in an opinion handed to Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon from Attorney Gen eral Daugherty.
 The three-mile limit is construed by the opinion of Attorney General Daugherty to apply to the Phlllp- pnes, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Vlr- gin Islands and Alaska, but not to the Panama Canal Zone. Chairman Lasker, of the U S. Shipping Board, in statement today, foresaw the early issuing of an injunction which would permit the arrival of foreign vessels with liquor, which, he said increases the necessity for ship subsidy in order to overcome the advantage thus given to foreign ships. Vancouver, predicted Chairman Las ker, will profit at the expense of Seattle and Portland in the Oriental trade, and Montreal at that of New York in the South American and transatlantic trade.

MANAGERS PREPARE

NEW YORK, Oct. '. - Manager Huggins of the Tanks made des- perate plans for today's game in the hope of stopping the victorious march of the Giants. Carl Mays was selected for the mound, which, if Mays failed to hold down, would be turned over again to Bush, who has had only two days rest. McGraw with two victories chalked up, could afford to take chances, and so plan ned to use either McQuillan or Ryan with Snyder probably behind the plate. With the heavy mist this morning and the forecast of the weather bureau, however, there was considerable chance against the game being played.
