Graw. 81 might have won it, but
not by shutouts. Don't forget
that those Yankee pitchers don't
have to pitch to those Yankee
maulers."
McGraw, while admitting the
excellence of the team that won
the championship, was bitterly
disappointed at the showing of
his own pitchers. So
1t is well known fact that he
jockeyed the Giants through to a
pennant with pitching that failed
in the worlds series, but it so
happened that in this brief strug-
gle he could not find even sec
ond good man to back up Nehf.
Possibly Ryan might have been
that man if he had been pre-
sented with, an opportunity such
as came to Jess Barnes two years
ago.
The Yankee pitching stood out
in such strong contrast to that
of the Giants that McGraw was
moved to high praise of it.

*" ERE Is something you
may not have consid-
- cred, he said to Matty.
"Look back over the six games
and you will not find one spot
where a Yankee pitcher gave a
base on balls that hurt--not one."
"That's right" assented Matty.
CHATS the sort of pitching
that will win a short SERIES" con-
tinued McGraw, land it will win
on seasons play. After this
demonstration / can. understand
why the Yankees won so easily
in the American League this year.
They always had good pitchers
ready. Couple good pitching and
hitting and there is only one
answer.
II wasn't kidding myself about
my pitchers when we started the
series. If Nehf had been right at
the start, l might have gotten two
good games out of him. But one
pitcher cannot win series. Two
might, however. Matty here and
Joe McGinnity, who is in town,
won all our games in the 1919
series.
81 had hoped that one or two
of my men would come through
as Scott did last year, but they
couldn't carry the burden. |
hated to start Nehf in the sixth
game, but l had no alternative.
He should have rested at least
three days. Had we postponed
Mondays game it might have
been a different story. Neht
pitched a wonderful game, and |
was beginning to think he was
better than l thought he was,
when his arm suddenly went
dead. That's all it was; just a
temporarily paralyzed arm. 1t
gave out from overwork.
"If we had gotten away with
that one, / would still have been
up against it to pick the right
man for the seventh game. Wat
son is a good money pitcher, but
he had sore arm. He warmed
up during the last game and had
to quit in a few minutes. Prob
ably McQuillan would have start
ed for the Giants. This has
been series where many started
but few finished"

Massachusetts can authorize tho sale of so-called non-intoXicating beverages prohibited by the laws Of the United States enacted pursuant to the constitution of the United States. Amendment IS, the prohtbl- tion amendment"
 Prohibition of a traffic in any com modity cannot be accomplished by 3 mere declaration, even when that declaration is a part of the consti- tuition of the United States. Aftirma- tive action is necessary to make such declaration effective. The Eighteenth amendment is a police measure, de- signed to protect the public health peace and morals, and as such IL imposes a duty upon Congress aho also upon the states, by virtue or the second section of the article, to enact appropriate Legislation to make it effective.
 President Barding's Attitude.
 A considerable number of persons who have either not considered the subject carefully or have failed to inform themselves properly, believe, honestly and mistakenly that the en- tire burden of prohibition enforce ment falls upon the federal govern ment Nothing of course, could be further from the truth. As President Harding so aptly put 1t:
 "The federal government IS not equipped with the instrumentalities to make enforcement locally effec- tive It does not maintain either a police or a judicial establishment ad- equate to or designed for such task
 If the burden of enforcement shall continue to be Increasingly thrown upon the federal government, 1t will be necessary at large expense to create a federal police authority which in time will inevitably come. to be regarded as an intrusion upon and interference with the right of local authority to manage local concerns. The possibilities of disaster in such a situation hardly need to be sug- gested. Yet it is something that we must recognize as among the menaces in this situation.
 "The federal government ought to perform, in connection with the en- forcement of this policy, those func- tions which are obviously within it's proper province. These are com pliance in al its aspects as it relates to international commerce, the ex- portation and importation of liquors, the collection of federal revenue, the prevention of smuggling, and, in gen. eral, the enforcement of the law within the proper reaim of federal authority.
 But the business Of local enforce ment, by states and cities, ought to be in the hands of the state and local authorities, and 1t should be exercised in all sincerity and good faith, as other laws are presumed to be ex- ecuted."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-08-19

Concurrent Action General.
 And everywhere, with the excep- tiOn of a few districts. comparatively small in area, concurrent enforcement is progressing as if with seven league boots. High authorities of oity after city, county after county, town after town have shown their keen and sympathetic appreciation of this ob- iigation. There has come to me from every uuarterS0f America such heart ening cheer in this respect that I am of the firm conviction we indeed are making great and rapid progress in the forward way wherein we tread
 Not only do these assurances come from the great inland states where prohibition sentiment has leaped with giant measure into overwhelm- ing public esteem, but they come also from some of the great cities super ficially ciassed as hotbeds of prohi- bition's enemies. The chief of po- ice of one of these great communi- ties said to me, in substance, not long ago:
 Every policeman on the force in this city has been instructed to up- hold the prohibition laws just as he is to uphold all other laws. Prohi- bition is not altogether popular here. but the law has been passed and 1t Is the law of the land. You can count upon us to do our part"
 New YorIS's Police Part.
 The police commissioner of New York city on July Il, short time after the repeal of the state enforce ment law, issued an order in which he said:
 so far is the welfare of the people of this city Is concerned, nor is 1t, in its broader sense, 9 question of the fullest exercise of state sov- ereignty as against invasion of state rights by the federal government In its larger sense, and last. analysis, it is a question of law enforcement, public safety and morality as against lawlessnes, crime, vice and immo- rality of every description.

LONDON, August 1S.-Exploring expeditions to far-off lands are be- coming so fashionable among the English that they promise to take rank with weekend house parties up the Thames.
 Not only is 1t the proper thing these days to ruff off to the jungles. or the waste places of the desert, but the stunt has been popularized to such an extent that any would-be ex- plorer may participate as paying guest" The paying guest has long been well-known institution in England, but heretofore the idea has been confined largely to private fam flies who increased their incomes by taking in" recommended strangers and giving them the run of the house.
 In America the institution of pay ing guest is known by the less ele- gant term of Board and room" Some Scientists Aboard.
 Now we find the Scientific Expedi- tionary Research association all ready to shove off to the Pacific islands with paying guests" who will swell the funds necessary to carry out the quest for South Sea lnIiiIS. some SGleuIlSlb WILL AiSO make the trip, which will be taken in 8 three-masted barkentine, fitted out like a yacht.
 Thus, the young man who cus- tomarily takes his vacation in g. three-hour expedition to the seashore or the. mountains, may now take his rest in the role of Livingston or Peary.
 Diners Co To ArctJc
 If the prospect of atolls and shredded wheat skirts doesn't lure him to the tropics, he may turn the other direction and seek escape from the city heat in a little fortnights junket to the Arctic regions. There Is an expedition which will soon leave English shores for 8 discovery among the Falkland Islands.
 Three other personally conducted tours--one of them under the au- spices of Oxford university, the other two "unofficiaH'-are trimming their sails for Spitzbergen.
 Still another, organized by the British Pacific Science expedition, is now padding around Papua, while the British museum has sent out a few professors to look into the nat ural history of tropical Australia.
