NEW YORK, August 6.-Moderate improvement was recorded by a ma jority of stocks traded in on the New York curb in today's dealings. The volume of trading was rather small.

gallons less than in the year pre- ceding.
 While it is perfectly true that through the interruptions use of privileges at times on the part of some connected with the medical pro- fession and though fraudulent per- mits are used in decreasing numbers, with the result that a small amount of distilled spirits may be, even now, diverted for beverage use, this amount is so small as to be almost negligible. The spigot at that point may be considered to be turned off.
 Problems connected with the with drawals of medicinal and sacramental wines have been more difficult, and there\has been an increase rather than a decrease in withdrawals. The figure for the year ended February 2S, 1921, 6,742,704 wine gallons; for the year ended February 2S, 1922, 5,672.266 gallons: and for the year ended February 8, 1923, 7,460,291 gal Ions.
 partial explanation may be found in the fact that in 1920 and 1921 and up to the latter rart of 1922, there were no indictments brought against rabbis and clergy for violations of the law During the first six months of 1923, however, there was a reaction and marked change in the attitude

 Concentrating Bonded Supplies.
 There can be no question that one source of supply was, at first, the bonded warehouse. To back up meas ures of increased supervision. Con gress authorized the concentration of bonded whisky. This whisky was formerly scattered in about 300 dis tillery warehouses, many in outlying sections. Under tho treasury ap- propriation act of 1922, 25 centrally locatel warehr ssES were designated and the transfer of the existing sup ply of medicinal liquor has been steadily carried forward. On July 1, 1922, there were 3S,O e0,000 gallo s of distilled spirits in bond. Within six months 175,000 barrels had been re- moved to concentrat warehouses without the theft of a single pint. The concentration Jill be ti-.Ished by the end of the present fiscal year. When it is complete. prevention of improper withdrawal will be made even more easy and in addition there will be a saving to the taxpayers of about $500, 900 in guarding and other costs. Since November 23, 1921, there has been no awful manufacture of whisky.
 Withdrawals of all distilled spirits. including gin, rum and brandy, com pare favorsbl with the record of whisky withdrawal.. During the 12 months ended FebrHary 2S. 1921. the total of all distilled spirits withdrawn stood at 13,0S4,272 gallons. During the following year the withdrawals Is had been reduced to 2,56S,674 gallons ana for the next year, ended Febru- ary 2S, 1923, lily 1,849,S14 gallons were withdrawn.
 The quantity of bonded distilled liquor available for legitimate or il- legitimate consumption was, there> fore, over 11,000,000 gallons less in the year ended February 2S, 1928, than it was in the year ended Febru- ary 2S, 1921; and more than TOO 000

United States Prohibition COmmi sioner
By ROY A. HAYNES


 United States Prohibition Commits Look upon the results obtained in the enforcement of the prohibition law; then upon the effects, first on the economic side-the return to us in dollars, cents-and lives;
 The saloon is gone. It is gone so completely and absolutely that prac- tically all of the liquor interests loudly disavow any intention ever to open it's doors. About 175, 900 public active poison to the youth of the land, offered hourly temptation to the weak, gave false courage to the criminal and the degenerate and i'm poVerished the home of the worker of meager or moderate income have been outlawed; their swinging doors and close-drawn blinds torn away to make room for sound business enter prise.
 The liquor store is gone. So also is the wholesale store, as well as the liquor department of the big retail store. And with them have gone the sale of the single bottle, the case and the barrel that went to the man who could afford it.
 The liquor that is being sold in the United States today, other than that which is taken on medical pre- scription, is reaching the drinler through channels that are Illegal. In quantity the liquor that is passing through these channels has been vastly reduced, and considerable has already been said of the quality Yet the flow is still in considerable has already been said of the quality. Yet the flow Is still in considerable quantity though steadily diminish ing through the constant pressure of an enforcement policy to cut off the supply at the source. There Is some thing to- be said, of course, for the strong arm method of enforcement; but it Is the view of those charged with carrying out the provisions of the prohibition law that if the sup ply can be turned off at the spigot, the nozzle will take care of itself. And that view has been justified many times over.

Philadelphia Police Step in
and Prevent Any
Violence.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Dick
Nallin, who umpired on bases in the
opening game of the series between
the Yankees and AthleticS at ShiDe
Park yesterday, was assaulted by a
mob of shouting fans when the con-
test was over. New York won by
score of 8 to 2 and Babe Ruth
made his twenty-third home run.
The city police, who rushed with
drawn batons to the assistance OF
the umpire. prevented possible seri-
Gus consequences as the game
ended.
The fans jostled the umpire
around and threw handfuls of dirt
at Nallin and Moriarty. One fan,
who seemed to be the ringleader,
was poked in the midriff by a po-
liceman's club and all the fight was
taken out OF him.
The incident which caused the
unpleasant demonstration was a sin
gle to the left field by Whitley Witt
in the seventh inning which scored
Schang with the tieing run of the
Pame. Walker. made a fine effort
to nip the ball, and argued elo-
quently in his own behalf when Nal
lin declared he had caught the ball
on a short hop. The fans didn't
seem to mind the decision much,
and the game returned to normalcy.
The Yankees licked the Athletics
again and knocked Eddie Rommel
out of the box. Everything went
lovely until the players and umpires
started to leave the field, and thea
one rooter' yelped: 'r..' h.-s
Lets get Dick Nallin." AS
usual, the first sign of fight quelled
the rioters.

Quartet of Hits.
BY BURT WHITMAN.

BOSTON. July 25.-But for Goose
Goslin's terrific drive into the far
away centerfield bleachers, John
Picus, alias Jack Quinn, would have
shut out DOME Bush's Washington
Griffmen in the first game of their
series now being staged at Fenway
Park. At it was, the veteran spit
baller hung up a tidy triumph, 6 to /.
Just three hits were made off
Quinn's salivary stuff. Memo Lei
bold, who was once with the Sox.
got one of them. That was a scratch
blow, by the way. Then came Cos
Inns honest-tog goodness slam to the
sunseats. That was a real one and
so was Pat Gharrity's double up
against the leftfield fence in the
ninth. But those three were all the
Griffs could get.
DOME Bush sent Monroe Mitchell,
his recruit from Memphis, to the hill
in the first frame. The youngster
lasted until two were out in the
fourth. BY that time eight hits had
been made off him and the victory
was in for the Sox. He would have
been trounced even harder but for
the snappy work behind him by his
infield.
Ken sedgwick, a Washington
sandlotter, took tp the pitching
burden after Mitchell had got
enough. =. The Sox got a run off
him in the fifth, but he went along
nicely thereafter.
Rather surprising was the hit
ting of Val Picinich, who was once
a member Of the Griffmen. The
little catcher came up to the pan
four times and each time he hit
safely, getting three singles and a
double as his days total.

Turns From Jockey
to Wielde of
Padded Mitts

From plotting horses at the
race track to boxing as pro-
fessional is certainly showing
diversity in professions radically
different, yet this is what Joe
Dillon, the former jockey, is
now doing. Since discarding his
silks, cap and whip for the
padded mitts, he has made an
excellent record as a boxer in
the flyweight division, his latest
victim being Harry Aarons, of
England, who he defeated the
other night in New York. Dillon
weighs 108 pounds, is a fair
boxer and a hard hitter; with
proper handling and a years
experience he should gain the
prestige of boxing star bouts.
