 voIstead's Statement
 Mir. Volstead said:
 "I am much gratified at the re- ception the House gave the resolution of Mir. Tinkhnm. in which he sought to have me removed from the judici- ary committee, because the anti saloon forces supported me in the last election. Only two members. both from New York, were willing to fol- low his lead. The House did not only kill the resolution, but prompt ly. without debate, expunged 1t from the record.
 T doubt very much that Boston will be proud of this performance of its representative. No doubt the enemies of prohibition, now so active throughout the country. inspired this resolution in the hope that it could be used as campaign material against my reelection; but the em- phatic way in which the House re- acted against such barroom methods will give them small comfort. T have never shirked a fair fight. but have always tried to treat my opponents fairly. As a rule, l have in turn received fair treatment-al- though the fight over prohibition has at times been very bitter. The mem- Der from Massachusetts who poses as one of the prominent leaders of the vets, is the only one in the House who has broken the rules of civilized warfare"
 MT. Wheeler declared that the House vote on the resolution was evidence of what the House thinks of MT. Tinkham's charges, which he added, were false, flimsy and fool ish."

HOUSE REFUSES ID ASK VOLSTEAD ID
 RESIGN POSITION
Tinkham Censures Head of Judiciary Committee for Permitting League to
 Donate to Campaign
By Associated Prcsa

Washington, August 24.-The House swiftly struck from its record today resolution presented by Rep resentative Tinkham, republican, Massachusetts, calling on Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee to resign his committee seat because of aid said to have been given in his last campaign In Minnesota by the Anti-Saloon league.
 As read by a clerk during hub bub of laughter, the resolution pro- vided that unless MT. Volstead re- tired within 14 days from its adop- ton, his seat on the committee which framed the prohibition enforcement act. be declared vacant. Representa- tive Mann, republican, Illinois, inn mediately proposed that the pro- posal be laid on the table which would kill it aad the House laid 1t there with a shout of approval. Then Representative Dyer of Missouri, republican member of MT. Volsteads s committed, offered motion to ex- punge the resolution from the con gressional record and 1t went out oy a vote of Al to 8. Two New fork democrats, Cullen and Carew and MT Tinkham, made up the opposing trio.
 MT. Tinkham took no part in the brief debate.
 Tinkhnm Issues Statement a After-the furry MT. Tinkham gave out a statement which he asserted that since the report filed by Wayne B. Wheeler, for the Anti-Saloou league showed expenditures of league funds in MT. Volsteads district two years ago. MT. Volstead ought not to sit as chairman of committee be- fore which the organizations coun- sel appeared for or against legisla- tion.
 After adjournment of the House. MT. Tinkham issued this statement:
 .'The House of Representatives, dominated by the Anit-Saloon league with an almost unanimous vote, to- day stifled debate upon the merits of the resolution calling for the per- emptory removal of the chairman of the Judicial committee, Andrew j.. volstead, for improper legislative conduct, but cannot suppress before the American people the vital issue raised by the resolution as to whether the chairman of commit tee of Congress properly. honestly and in decency can hold his position when private organization, corpora ton or individual, seeking legislation from his committee, either contrib utes money to him or pays his bills or expends money for him for polit- ical purposes.

Naturally, the big gun of the games Saturday in the City league is the clash between Alabama Bower and Inglenook Construction in Division A: these teams are tied for the lead and the winner Saturday will go to the championship series at Redwood next week. Another big game Is that between Drive-It-Yourself and Knights of Columbus, which may have decided bearing on the B Divi- sion race.
 Alabama Power and the Construc- tionists will battle on the latter's diamond in East Birmin gham. The game should be a real pitchers bat tie, with one or two-run margin turning the issue. The Powermen have been idle for two weeks, while the 'Nookers have not only played their regular league games. but jumped down to Montgomery Sun day for two games with the South Alabama leaguers of that city. Just how this will Initiate, and in whose favor is hard to say. Perhaps il is just the rest needed to put the Powermen on edge; 1t may have had the same effect on the Rivesmen, or the strenuous schedule of the latter may have overtrained them. None of these questions can be answered before Saturday.
 B Division Also Close.
 In the B Division the big tumble may be cleared without a triple tie, as at first was likely. The play over today Of a game that Southern railway won from Knights of Co., lumbus gives the latter team big chance to redeem itself and it Is by no means certain that they will not. If the Kay Sees win from Southern railway Friday and Drive-It- Y ourself Saturday they will go into tie with Thomas, necessitating a playoff. If the Railroaders win Friday, then they will be the ones to tie the Wilsonites. A triple tie looks impos- sible, but knot between two squads Is almost sure.
 In Class B, the big contest is that between Thomas and Jordan Park This game will decide the winner in their division and 1t is hard to say which looks to be the winners. The Parkers are generally credited with the edge, but that Is merely matter of personal opinion.

The exhibition, however, was marred by rowdyism, two Demopolis players being elected from the grounds. Austin was put out for hitting at Cooper, who was trying to beat him to first after a short grounder had rolled out.
 The second incident almost ended in a riot. when O'Day, second base man for Demopolis. hit Umpire Evans when the latter called strike on him. O'Day was carried from the grounds by two deputy sheriffs
 The rowdyfsm and wrangling of the Demopolis players was the worst that has been seen this season, local fans declared.
 James was batted from the box in the first game and Iauser substi- tuted and finished the game for Selma. Luther the Demopolis twirler, held the Selmians at his mercy in the first contest

For this unsatisfactory display,
some critics hold Lewis responsible,
saying that when the champion tried
to pull away, Lewis held on and hit,
and that Carpenter, finding he was
being punished under what was APP
parently some new sort of rule, seem
ed to make up his mind to do the
same.
Another view is that Lewis, recog-
nizing his handicap in weight and
size, resolved to rely on in-fighting, in
which he seemed superior in the brief
melee.
Carpenter, according to Sproting

Lewis unwariness gave him his OPP

CRITICS AGREED
CARPENTER WON
ON CLEAN BLOW
tBy Associated Press,

London, May 12-The blow with
which Georges Carpenter knocked out
Ted kid" Lewis in the fsrt round of
their championship bout here last
night was legitimate, in the judgment
of the socalled experts who reported
the fight. Cries of "foul" came from
all parts of the Olympia auditorium
when the decisive blow was struck.
Joe Palmer, the referee, is quoted
in the Daily Telegraph as saying:
"The blow was perfectly fair. The
men had broken from clinch and it
was Lewis business to protect him
self. This he failed to do"
1t is asserted by some Of the news
paper writers that Lewis had deliver
ed blows on previous breakways,
though they did not land, and his
failure to guard himself in the final
break is declared an amazing blum
der which disregarded the elementals
of boxing.
One or two of the reporters while
