SPORT
CHAT

South Portland High seems to be
the latest school affected by that pc
culiar twist which has in times past
been noticeable in other high schools
down Cumberland county way. by
taking an arbitrary stand in their
athletic relations with other schools
not among the favored. The case
at point is the failure Of the basket
ball management of the Cape school
to return the contracts for the two
games which they had previously
accepted dates for with Bangor
High. and issuing a schedule on
which the Queen City school is not
listed. A Bangor story carries the
suggestion that South Portland is
afraid to meet them this season,
while the S. p. management AYERS
that they must take on their regular
opponents, which filed their card
and practically throws the matter
OF the sighted contracts up to the
school faculty.

Warren declared the Increase would

Tho present standing army-125,-
900 men and 1900 Offlcers--has

LIQUOR RULING IS
UPHELD BY COURT
INJUNCTION SOUGHT BE STEAM
SHIP LINES rs ovERRuLED
BY JUDGE HAND
Shipping Officials Reported to Have
Declared They VIII carrJ Fight
to Higher Tribunal For
Final Decision

New York.-The right of the federal
government to forbid the carrying OF
liquor on ships of American registry
and to prevent foreign owned ships
from bringing liquor within the ter
ritorial waters Of the United States
was upheld Monday by Judge Learned
Hand in the United States district
court.
The ruling Of Attorney General Har-
~ NJ. Daugherty, declaring the carry
ing OF liquors on American and foreign
ships, illegal, was upheld by Judge
Hand. The jurist held that the Vol
stead Act gave the government the
power 10 impose such restrictions
upon the maritime liquor traffic.
Judge Hands decision carries with
II q denial of the injunction asked
by the Cunard, Anchor, French line
and other steamship services which
sought to have the internal revenue
officials restrained from enforcing the
regulations promulgated by the treas
ury department on the bias Of Daugh-
erty's ruling.
Judge Hands ruling, however, does
not settle the fight as the steamship
officials already have declared they
will carry their fight to the u. s.
supreme court for final ruling.
Judge Hand ruled. however, that
foreign ships might carry with them
ION the east bound voyage" sufficient
liquor to provide necessary rations for
the crew The foreign ships, in argu.
ing for an injunction had contended
that liquor on board was "ships's
stores and was an essential part of
the rations provided for the crews.
This phase of the decision would
prevent foreign ships leaving Ameri'
can ports from earring a stock of
liquor for sale over the bar on the
high seas to passengers aboard the
vessels.
$50 far as can see," said Judge
Hand In his opinion, Gin this case. the
plaintiff has no chance. Therefore
win 60 no further than to issue an
Injunction against interfering with the
carriage of a stock necessary for the
crews rations on the east-bound voy
age.
"The plaintiffs must each give Q
oond. in the sum of $4,000 condi
tional against the use of such stocks
For any other purposes than as crews
rations."
The effect of this ruling, as inter
preted by shipping men, Is that ships
sailing to America from a foreign
port may carry stock OF liquor for
passengers to be sold at sea. 2hey
may not. however bring this stock In
to American ports. and. upon leaving
the ports OF the United States cannot
carry a supply larger than is required
for the needs of the crew.
Washlngtonr-The government will
aid foreign ships lines in clearing up
the question OF their liquor rights by
expedIting a quick appeal OF Judge
Hands decision to the United States
supreme COURT
Il anticipated the government
would be upheld and we are ready to
move sxpedlt!ously in getting the
whole question before the supreme
court" Haynes said. Meanwhile. reg
ulations enforcing the Daugherty
opinion viii 60 into effect. The rui'
ings win be ready In a few days.
