]. S. AND FOREIGN
SHIPS MUST Be DRY
WHILE IN AMERICAN WATERS;
NO SALE ON U. s. CRAFT
ANYWHERE.
4 COURT FIGHT FOREsEEN
Chairman L.esker Considers Ruling a
Blow to American Merchant
Marine.

Washington.-All vessels, American
or foreign, are prohibited from hav.
ing liquor on board in American ter.
ritorial waters under an Interpretation
OF the prohibition amendment and the
enforcement act handed down by the
department Of justice. Moreover the
transportation or sale Of intoxicants
on American craft, wherever operat-
ed, was held to be inhibited.
American territorial waters were
constructed to include those not only
within the three.mile limit Of con.
tinental United States but also those
within the same limit OF the Philip
pines, the Hawaiian Islands, Porto
Rico, the Virgin Islands and Alaska.
The law would not apply in the Pana.
ma canal zone, as that zone is spe-
cihcally exempted by the statute 1t.
self.
So far as American ships are con-
cerned the sale or transportation OF
liquor will cease at once, or as soon
as those vessels reach their home
ports. In the case Of foreign ships,
the decision will become operative
as soon as the necessary regulations
can be prepared and promulgated by
the treasury department.
Court action looking to final de
termination Of the application OF
American dry laws to foreign ships
entering American ports was fore
seen both by Attorney Genera
Daugherty and Chairman Lasker
Of the shipping board. Mr.. DaugheF
ty said he had already been advised
that a case was about to be filet
which would bring the issue to thu
supreme court.
Chairman Lasker was Of the opin
ion that the first move Of foreigl
lines would be to seek an injunction
restraining the government from en-
forcing the law. He said It was rea
sonable to suppose that the court
: would grant such an injunction wit
result that foreign ships would cor
tinue to arrive with liquor on boar
until there was final decision b
the highest court.
Publication Of the opinion OF tn
department Of justice followed
White House conference to whic
President Harding summoned Nj
Daugherty. Secretaries Hughes an
Mellon and Chairman Lasker. Var
Gus phases OF the situation were di
! cussed, including the possible result
Of enforcement upon the internationt
relations Of the United States.
g Chairman Lasker predicted that el
forcement Of the law would operat
to an immediate disadvantage OF tn
American merchant marine an
l. would make more necessary enac
ment OF the ship subsidy bill II tn
American flag was to stay on the hig
Q seas. He believed the ruling woul
have great influence in Congret
Q when the subsidy bill was taken up.
e An undoubted effect Of the enforce
r ment, Mr.. Lasker said, would he
q hamper the board in its efforts
q build up American shipping to n
'e Orient and South America. He e
" pected Vancouver, British Columbi
81 to profit at the expense particularly
u Seattle and Portland in the Orient
trade and Montreal at the expense

lie trade. Also he looked for Montre
81 to gain over New York in the tran
d. Atlantic trade.

Sixty days was added to the life OF
Joe Dixon by executive order, when
Governor Morrison gave the Craven

foundation upon which to built hope
that execution may be replaced with a
life sentence in the state prison.
Dixon was to have been executed on
Tuesday morning at 10:3o.
Both Judge Frank A. Daniels, who
sentenced Dixon to death, and the so
licitor who prosecuted him, have rec
commended to the governor that he be
extended clemency but this the COVER
nor has not fully made up his mind to

Hard Hitting and Pretty Fielding Fea- tures Third straight Victory

Despite the fact that Griffen was pounded hard Tor a total of l2 safe walors by the New Hartford club yesterday, the corhin team by fast ielding and excellent base running managed 10 pull out victorious to the tune of to $. This Was the third straight victory for the locals. Time after time. the lanky twirler found himself in bad holes. but fast work by his team mates behind him saved the day.
 The New Hartford club fielded poor ly in the outtield, and coupled with the circuit elout by Huber of the locals, that was more than enough to offset the heavy hitting that they indulged In. Healy. the opposing, twirler turned in a good game, but the sup port he received was ragged. Under ordinary circumstances he would have easily won his game.
 Wojak featured with one handed stop of Parrots drive in the seventh which drew a loud round of applause from even the opposing fans. Pres- ser also featured with a catch in short centerield of Kosieck's pop fly. He caught the ball with his back to the diamond.

TANKS AND GIANTS
 PLAY STEADY BALL
American Leaguers Are Gradually Pulling Away in Pennant Race

New York, June 12.-After bai- ancing precariously at the top in their respective leagues for several weeks ns a result of cratic playing, the New York Giants and Yankees have braced and apparently regaincd championship form for the mid-sea- son drive. Playing better ball than any of their rivals during the past week. the Yankees. by winning again yesterday from St. Louis, increased their lead to four and q half games, while the Giants. again trimming Cincinnati, held a two.gamc advan- tage over the Pirates, who were Idle.
 Resembling more closely last years wrecking crew than at any time this season, the Yankees have gotten away to flying start in their first western invasion. Babe Ruth and Bob Mcusel have caught their batting strides and are adding the punch to the team's attack that has been lacking so far. Already supplied with stellar pitch ing, Huggins' crew apparently M ready to set dizzy pace for tho Browns, the only team regarded as capable of giving the New Workers real brush for the pennaht. The Yankees yesterday batted Shocker, their erstwhile jinx. from the box for the second day in succession.
 Browns In A Slump.
 The St. Louis outfit with the ex- ception of George Sisler and possibly one or two others. has experienced temporary batting slump and with some cratic hurling has fallen back in the race.
 the four-club scramble for thiBd place, dsplacing Cleveland after taking three in row from Speakers men, whose hitting has fallen of. Detroit aided by some steady pitch ing, jumped back to the first division and by beating the Senators yester- day. was within half game of third position.
 RommeI Revives As.
 The return of Eddie Rommel. their star hurler, revived the Athletics who were in the throes of bad slump. Boston held the Browns to an even break but lost it's second straight yes terday to the White Sox, the result lllLlnS OHlCdRO put Ol ldSL plACC anu sending the Red sox to the cellar.
 National League.
 In the National, the Giants are un- likely to outdistance other contenders unless their pitching improves. Bat ting punch plus a couple of whirl- wind finishes, carried them to victory in the past week. Against Brooklyn 2 week ago, the champions pulled | 5-4 triumph out of the fire with a three-run rally in the ninth and dupli- cated the feat yesterday, taliying thrice in the final inning for a 32 over Cincinnati.
 Pittsburgh, in close pursuit of the leaders, found Philadelphia easy, while St. Louis dropped three in a row to the Boston Braves before breaking the Hub jinx.
