Complaints brought by foreign and
American shipping lines who con.

bringing of alcoholic liquor, even
under seal, into United States ports
In his decision Judge Hand
granted a stay in the order Of
Daugherty in, respect to the crews

is decided by a higher court, ship
owners will be permitted to supply
their crews with liquor.

SHIP SUBSIDIES
AID T0C0UNTRY,
CITY CLUB TOLD
Commissioner Chamberlain, in
Address, Points Out Need
Of Legislation.

Although 1t would secure the con-
fidence Of both foreign and domestic
merchants and importers. the pro-
posed ship subsidy would serve as an
aid to the personal endeavors of
American ship owners and shippers,
but would not establish the American
position In the worlds commerce,
former Senator George K. Chamber
lain of Oregon, commissioner Of the
United States Shipping Board, de-
clared today In an address before the
weekly luncheon Of the City Club.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the primary
object Of the effort to provide COM
pensatory Legislation for American
shipping Is to increase to approx.
mately SO per cent the activities OF
American vessels in foreign trade
overseas.
Suitable vessels for the specific
services must be provided which will
classify with the best of our COM
petitors," Mr.. Chamberlain said.
These vessels would carry q lower
insurance rate. provide safety and
speed in deliveries and obtain the
confidence Of both foreign and domes'
tic shippers"
Strong Position Needed.
The commissioner pointed out that
such confidence would secure invest
ment in shipping shares. a wide.
spread distribution OF the stock. and
legislation that will permit Of a rea.
sonable return to the investors would
put the merchant marine in a strong
position in relation to foreign COM
petitors.
Mr.. Chamberlain discussed the
necessity OF establishing and main
tanning a merchant marine as a
matter Of NATIONAL defense. and un-
dertook to show that in view Of the
four.power treaty, the United States
now occupies q relatively poorer
place. from a national defense
standpoint, than Il did before naval
disarmament was agreed upon. He
also discussed commerce on the
Great Lakes and Canada. which. .he
said. enters into all calculations OF
ship movements.
"a lake steamer could not sue.
cessfully operate on the high seas "
he said. ''as II would be in danger
OF breaking up under a severe
storm.
Type Of Vessels Sought.
For this reason the tonnage Of
the Great Lakes should not be con.
sidered a part Of our merchant ma
rine. nor the cargoes carried by
them a part Of our overseas trade. I"
He pointed out that trade with
the West Indies and the Caribbean
countries IL but an extension Of this
nations coastwise trade and re-
quires smaller types OF vessels that
are not suited for service in over
seas competition.

SCOTT KEEPS HIS RECORD CLEAR

! NEW YORK Sept. 28-Everetr
Scott, the marathon shortstop" OF
the New York Yankees, recently paid
$40 in taxi fare to get to Chicago
ball park in time to play with the
Yankees in an important series.
The mere matter of train wreck
and several other obstacles did not
discourage him and he succeeded in
keeping his long record of competi-
tion in consecutive games unbroken.
In figuring how a player of rather
frail build like Scott has been able
to play in almost thousand straight
games, it is only necessary to consider
the spirit that keeps him going.
Other ball players might have tax
en- the train wreck as an excuse for an
extra day of liberty. Scott didn t and
that is the reason why he is making

REALTY BOARD IN
PLAN FOR PUBLIC
. MARKETING DAYS

The FL Centre Realty Board is still
interested in the establishment of
public market and win endeavor to
secure more active participation in
the project on the Sart of producers of
fruits and vegetables this winter.
President Ray Edgar of the board be
lieves that public market on stated
days of each week will meet the needs
of both producer and consumer in a
definite and practical manner, without
in any way interfering with the regu-
lar trade.
No survey has been made to ascertain
the possible production of garden vege-
tables this winter, it being little
early in the season for such purpose,
but it is hoped that many home gardens
will be grown and that the surplus of
such gardens will find its way to the
housewives of El Centre through the
public market.
Other plans are in contemplation by
the Realty Board having for their pur-
pose the encouragement of business, not
only in real estate, but in home build
ing and other lines. An effort will be
made to carry out the program begun
last season and other projects as the
need shall develop. With the arrival
of cooler weather, the directors of the
board will start activities very soon

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Officials Of
there is larger demand for world
series seats this year than there was
in 1921 and that the general attend
ancc ought to pass last fall s figures.
On the surface there is nothing to
indicate that another private world
series is coming to the Polo Grounds
because New York is too big to- show
any ripples of excitement about any
thing. The big town also lacks the
partisan interest that would be mani
Tested in any of the big western towns.
New York knows that New York is
bound to win the world s championship
and the average fans care not whether
it is the Giants or the Yanks.
Some complaints have been made
about the price of the tickets and the
method of selling which makes it neces.
sary to buy at least three tickets to
get n reserved seat. However, the
management in deciding not to reserve
the upper stands has overcome some of
the objections.
All of the old ball players who have
found jobs around the Polo Grounds
are one in backing the Giants to win
the series simply because "Mac" will
be on the bench directing the play
Many Of the minor league club owners
and managers arriving for the series
express the same belief.
Nearly all the fans, especially the
younger ones, however, figure the
Yanks to be sure winners on the
strength of the pitching staff and the
belief that Babe Ruth will be in bet
ter condition to do something this year
Twenty-Five members of the Giants
exclusive of McGraw and the coaches
are eligible for the series and 90 Yanks
are eligible.

IMPERIAL HIGH
PLANS BIG WORK
in BASKETBALL
No Gridiron Men But Will
Make Up With Work In
Basketball Game
gv Special Staff Correspondent

IMPERIAL, Sept. 2S.-Facing the
problem of building another valley
championship team in basketball, from
one man out of the 192122, combina-
ton, Coach Rowell, of Imperial, has
the chief labor puzzle of the year.
OF the six men on the 1922 team
only Charles Hill, the lanky center, is
left. Stevenson, G. Smith, G. Smith,
Leggett and Lyall are lost through
graduation. Reber is among those miss
ing through change of residence. But
Rowell is not wholly disappointed, for
he has in Doyle Watchell man that
will be a danger sign to all opposition
The time to whip the team into shape
is in favor of Imperial With the Other
valley schools turning their attention
to "King Football with possible in
iuries to any one who plays basketball
and football, also, Imperial will be
studying bask intensively. Some
years ago, player was killed i'll game
of football, and since that time, foot
ball has been taboo at the Red and
White institution. An attempt was maae
last wear to revive the American game,
but with little or no success. The en-
tire season was devoted to basketball
with the result that Imperial won three
championships, and gave Fullerton a
run for the money on the fourth.
Coach Rowell will have more mater
ial with which to work on this veal
than last and this will be an advantage.
Whatever the chance Imperial has she
will have stiff opposition in the Other
valley schools for each are strengthen
ed over last year.
Three dusky lads have been tossing
| the casaba round and from reports these
| boys are the classiest basket tossers il
the valley. It is a remote chance that
u colored team will be formed to play
other colored aggregations in the val
ley. These three boys show speed on
the court, and an accuracy in throwing
baskets that is almost uncanny. They
have been holding practice nightly and
team work is developing that will make
them the champs Of the valley should
colored teams hook up.
