Eagle Boats and Summarized

WASHINGTON, April 21.--Pians
were being worked out today for or
ganizing a special branch OF the nsEd|
for prohibition duty under the coaea
guard. Fifty Eagle boats and subj
marine chasers are immediatslA
available for this service and a
additional fifty can be put in cona7
mission very rapidly.

the rum fleet off the New Jersey
coast will be under way within few
days, following announcement thai
the President and his cabinet weraI
convinced that the government could
not remain impotent in the face
the challenge by rum runners and
bootleggers.
To the exclusion of virtually All
other business, the cabinet yesterda Il
considered the rum smuggling uues7
ton and what the prohibition unit
terms an affront TO national sover-
eighty in the presence Of the fiotiils
near shore.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
has urged the use of naval vessel
because the craft now eIf1g6yS7
against the smugglers have not beer
effective. The prohibition navy, coni-
posed of boats transferred from the
Navy Department last year. can
operate, under orders from this
President. only within the three-Inile

toms representative TO board the
smugglers and examine their carl
goes. The funds for the mainten3
ance of the patrol fleet will have i'd
come from the navy, as the prohibi9
tion bureau is unprepared for such a
considerable expenditure.
The smuggling menace has assum Z
ed grave proportions since the Presi :

Great Britain were threatened over
seizures outside. At that time the
British Government promised to deal
with the matter from the Bahani'ls
by preventing double manifests s0d
The impression was created BY
Government officials today that this
subject again may be taken up with
Great Britain. Attention was called
to the recent statement in the Sritisa
Parliament that a large portion of
the American public was becoming r
incensed over the constant presencs
Of a rum fleet off New York.
As the fleet is fifteen miles Nom
Sandy Hook, and twelve miles frpnl
Long Branch, navy vessels operating
under the Customs law could not tn~

HARPER IS BEST
WHEN LACKING
IN CONTROL
By GARRY sCHUMACHER.

NEW YORK, May 11.-About ten
weeks ago, Uncle Robbie took his
Dodgers over to Tampa from Clear
water, to play an exhibition game
with the Washington Senators.
Harry Harper started that con-
test for Robins, and his presence
on The hill caused Clark Griffith,
president of the senators, for whom
the Hackensack southpaw labored
for several years down at Wash
ington, to revive memories of the
tall Iefthander's career.
''Hc was, mighty sweet pitcher.
the first couple of years had
him." ruminated the "Old Fox, a"
'but what a wild man he was.
He always had a world of stuff,
but he experienced the greatest diff.
ficulty in controlling it. 1t was
from watching him slide through
to close victories that turned my
hair gray.
And the funny part of it." con.
tinued Griff, "he was q better
pitcher when he was wild. When
he didn't know where his curves
were going to break the batters
took care not to take q toe hold
at the plate. They were always
in position to duck, with one foot
in the water bucket. And then
when his slants broke over the
plate the stickers would either miss
entirely or tap easy chances to
the fielders.

John Paul Collins, lately added to
the faculty at Eastern, is respon-
sible for the strides the school has
made in field and track sports in the
last couple of months.
Collins, who halls from st. Joseph
School of Philadelphia, where he
had experience in the dash and field
events, figures that he has some
promising boys. Lack OF exper.
fence alone will keep some of my
youngsters from placing in a num-
Der of the events" Collins said this
morning in discussing the chances
of various teams. / have number
of youngsters who will bear watch
ing and If they run true to form,
some of those who have been doped
to win, are going to have to travel
fast"
Rosson, Roberts and Lehnert are
excellent dash men the first named
in particular having shown more
than the average speed. Bond is a
high jumper of great promise and
those who are familiar with what he
has done, would not be surprised to
see him take first or second place.
Bond just came up from grade
school ranks a year ago. He is
capable of topping the bar at five
feet six or seven inches.
Coach Collins has another speed
merchant in Roudabush who has
been a much respected athlete in
other branches of sport.
Eastern hardly will score heavily
in competition with such teams as
will sport the colors of Baltimore
Polytechnic, Tome, Staunton, West
ern, Central and Tech High. But
anything like creditable showing
will be welcomed by it's following.
Baltimore Polytechnic, Central and
Staunton appear to have the best
chance. Central showed little in
the recent Legion games, but the
wiseacres did not lose sight of the
fact that Bill Foley. foxy mentor,
was holding something back.
Gordon, Ziegler and Burleigh are
going to be hard men to beat in
the dash events. Captain Thomas
and Anderegg should score in the
hurdles, Birthright. Johnston, Baker,
Meade, Van Dorm and Gordon are
likely looking youngsters in the
field events. CentraPs chances to
win though lie in the ability of
two or three of their men to

DEBATE MERITS
Of LEFT HOOK
AND JAB
English Persist in Maintaining
That Straight Blow Is
More Effective.

Jack Bloomfield. British light
heavyweight champion. has started
an interesting controversy in Eng
land over the relative merits Of a
straight left and left hook. The
critics have been finding fault with
him because ever since his trip to
America he has used a swinging
lead instead of the conventional
straight left. He says he has found
by experience that a hook is a far
more damaging blow and that it is
just a waste Of time to use straight
lefts that do no damage.
Naturally this is regarded as rank
heresy by the English critics, who
maintain with British persistence
that the English style of boxing is
far superior to American methods
even though they are forced to
admit that American fighters near
| ly always win the international
matches.
There really is something back of
the English view besides prejudice
against American ways. A master
of the straight left can beat a swing
ing boxer every time, but the art
Of using the straight left has been
lost. AS the boxers of today use
the blow 1t is virtually of no value
and they do right to discard 1t.
The old timers, who knew how to
hit straight. used the left hand stab
with terrible effect.
Bombardier Wells furnished an
excellent example of a boxer who
had a perfect style but could not
win. The slender Englishman was
the best straight hitter with the
left that has been seen here during
the last twenty years. Every time
he stuck his left into Al Palzer's
| face the giants blond head Topped
back on his shoulders and he reeled
under the shock. The effect of
those scientifically delivered stabs
was simply amazing.
The crude, wild swinging Palzer
won that fight, but it did not prove
| that the Englishman' style was
wrong. The cause of his defeat
was his inability to withstand a
blow that would not seriously in
convenience a husky lightweight.
American boxers beat English
boxers because Americans are made
of better fighting material. It is
the man and not the style that
wins. The old English style of
hitting never has been improved
| upon and never will. The trouble
is that even in England there are
no good opponents of the art Of
straight hitting.
