ALMA COLLEGIANS BUNCHED
HITS TO. GOOD ADVANTAGE
OFF CRIMSON HuRLERS.
Score HeaUily in
The Final Innings

Alma had little trouble in turn
ing back Olivet College Saturday
winng the opening Michigan Inter
collegiate contest of the year 6 to T.
Added to the feat of taking the
Crimson into camp Coach Campbell
gave the fans look at an entire
Freshman aggregation in the final
three innings Of the contest, except
for left field.
Oliyet looked dangerous in the
early innings Of the fray at which
time Crittenden, the star Alma hur-
Ter, was working on a slender lead Of
one run. 1t was not until the seventh
that Alma really got next to
the offerings Of Jones and drove him
TO cover. Dove, who succeeded him,
was also hit considerable by the
Alma stickers.
Alma's first run came in the sec
ond frame. Shaver tripled and
was Immediately chased over the
plate by Crittenden's single to CEN
ter. Crit" was forced at second
on Williams infield tap. Carly
singled, but Beckton closed the in
ming with an infield out.
In the fourth Johnson slammed one
TO left. With two down the elon-
gated fielder stole and scored on
Williams single.
In the seventh two errors aided in
scoring three runs. With one down
Krker was safe on Jones' boot. Beck
ton grounded out. Hickerson was
safe on La Mont's muff of a throw.
Ryan singled to center and Kirker
and Hickerson scored. Ryan took
second on the throw in. Wright
singled to center scoring Ryan.
Johnston flied out, ending the in
ing.
In the eighth Shaver singled. Cath
erman kept his batting average at
LOCO by lacing out his second hit
in two times at bat tins season.
Rathsberg flied out. Carly batting
for Kirker walked. Beckton sacri-
feed Shaver to the. plate for the final
run. Hickerson grounded out.
Not until the sixth inning could
Olivet get around the sacks, when
Dove got the Crimson's first hit, a
bunt on which Watson scored. Wat
son walked with one down, and stole
second. He went to third on Ryan's
error and slid into the plate just
ahead Of the ball on Doves bunt TO
Kirker.
In the seventh and eighth, Gather
man, who succeeded Crittenden in the
box at the end Of the sixth, turned
back the Crimson. In the ninth with
two down Larson singled to right.
Wrigley connected with one for two
sacks, but a quick return to the
plate, Shaver to Wright to Ryan cut
down Larson for the third out and the
game was over.
Crittenden proved the master Of
the Crimson in every inning that he
pitched, although still lacking the
form that he has displayed in former
years. Californian also looked good
and gives promise of developing into
a good little hurler.

FRANCE SURPRISED AT
 PROHIBITION IN U. s.

Paris, Aug.-"The accusations of American vets that prohibition is responsible for the increase of the drug habit in America is extremely exaggerated, if not totally unfouud ed" is the decision of M. Ernest Guy, former attache of the French high commission tC America during the war, who has completed an in vestigation of prohibition in the United States in the Interest of the wine exporters of France. "The in crease of the drug habit is general over the world, and that includes | the non-prohibition countries. It has increased in the same proportions in England and France. It is a part of a German plan to flood the world with drugs they manufacture" M. Guy, who is frankly interested in seeking a solution to the stagna- tion of the French industry and | trying to find a means for opeLing up the vineyards former markets. struck another blow at the tradi- tional arguments of the vets when he declared that his investigation convinced him that the crime wave sweeping over American cities has no counestion with the liquor Ques- tion. The same phenomenon has been seen in Europe also, he declares, and is one of the expectable after-ellects of the war.
 Experience of Foreigners.
 "The first effect a foreigner eX- periences upon arriving in America is a feeling of admiraLon for the great courage of America. in attempting the great social experiment of pro- hibition. But I can. say l was con verted to prohibition by what l saw. To the average American the diff ference between America today and prohibition days Is probably not so striking as 1t is to foreigner, for the change has been more or less gradual But for a foreigner, accus- toned to the thought of law-abiding America. to find the average citizen who is of the stable class-that is, the bulwark of the nation-to find | him, as l say, in the new attitude of trying to beat the law, to break the law, is quite disappointing to our ideals of Ameuca.
 Prohibition Justified
 "The abolition of the saloon, how ever, if nothing else, alone quite jus tfes prohibition. If I, who believe in light wines and beers, were given the choice of accepting either total pro hibition or of returning to the old system, 1 would unhesitatingly choose total prohibition. But unfor- tunately that isn't necessary The difficulty is that a decision must be made"
 M. Guys report 10 the wine inter ests draws a picture of the growing l habit of home pressing and the eff fleets of hooch. He quotes a surgeon of Bellevue Hospital, New York, an ardent prohibitionist for years, tell ing how workmen daily die in his ! hospital "in conyulsions like dogs" ] One of the difficulties that he fore secs is that if light wines are again reinstated, as he predicts that they will be, the definition of light" wines will still bar French products | He declares that French wines av. eraging from 8 to t5 per cent. al cohol content, and the reinstatement 1 of 4 per cent. wines will not relieve the French ever-iucreasing stocks.
