Davis to Adams.
Again in the sixth Dumas got as
far as third but was unable to
complete the circuit, Wright going

Arlington runners circled the bas-
es twice in the fourth on two err
rors, a fielder's choice and a hit,
and in the fifth they pushed Hold

eighth before darkness ended the
game were not counted, the score
going back to the ending Of the

Player drives from the tee and

so considers it and drives anotho
ball from the tee which pursued
much the same course, with pos

The player shall continue the

A and b. are in matched play.
Playing from the ninth tee, B tees
up his ball and in making his down

B completed the swing, but failed
to hit the ball. B claims that be-
cause of his failure to strike the
ball he has the right to retee it
without penalty.
B having played a stroke, has no
right to retee the ball as it is in

Player discovers that his ball is
within inches of being out of
bounds. Because of its unusual lie,
the player realizes that it will be
much easier for him to play the
ball if ne assumes a stance that is
entirely out Of bounds Has the
player such a right or must he re-

A player has a perfect right to

THE PLAY

Here is an interference play
that came up in a game at Chi
cago. Many people left the park,
believing the White sox had
won.
1t was the last half of the
ninth. The score was 3 to / in
favor the visitors.
The White Sox filled the bases
with two men out. A snap
throw from the visiting catcher
caught the runner on third nap
ping. Just when it seemed as if
the base runner was about to be
retired, ending the inning, the
ball was seen to carom off the
back OF the runner into left field.
Before the ball was back into
play all three runaers had
scored Many people thought the
White Sox Fad won, 4 to 8, as
that play ended the game. Instead
OF the ball bounding from the back
OF the player, as it seemed, its de-
Election was caused by the base
runner throwing his arm directly in

Waters Cover Yellowstone,
Causing Great Damage and

CODY, Wyo., July 25.-The
beautiful entrance to Yellowstone
Park through the Shoshone val
ley today was strewn- with debris
and wreckage as a result of the
worst flood in the history Of the
United States Forestry Service.
Three cloudbursts within six hours
sent the flood waters sweeping
down the mountain passes carry
ing tons of rock and dirt, cutting
off from the outside world four
hundred tourists and completely
demoralizing all forms of COM
munication.
Wide Devastation.
Ranger stations, summer resorts,
lodges and other buildings were
swept into flooded rivers. Canyon
creek moved westward a quarter of
mile and formed a new channel.
Absaroka lodge, a resort, is re-
ported filled with debris and trees
thirty-five feet deep. Three feet Of
mud from the overflow Of Grinnel
creeks covers the road for miles.
Boulders, trees and wreckage Of
all description was strewn over an
area of more than half mile when
Clock Tower creek went over its
bank. =
Hundreds of marooned tourists
worked feverishly with forestry
service men, throwing temporary
bridges across the flooded streams.
and this morning had succeeded in
making a passable road from the
park to this city.
The Shoshone dam reservoir Is
black with a mass Of wreckage
washed down by the flood.
Track Washed Out.
At Sanders, on the Northern Pa
cific, and WyolA on the Burlington,

LIMIT ON LIQUOR
FORMED|CINE.-
CONTINUES
Supreme Court May Decide in
Six Months--LaW to Be En-
forced in Meantime.
BY w. H. ATKINS.
International News Service.

Physicians will be compelled to
endure the Volstead law curb, as
to quantity and frequency OF
liquor prescriptions for patients,
for six months longer, at least,
as the Supreme Court probably
will not pass finally upon the
question before the beginning of
another year, officials of the De-
partment of Justice said today.
At the Treasury Deartment If
ficials announced that no modifica-
ton of pending regulations are
contemplated until the Supreme
Court decides the question, whether
present limitations upon doctors are
unconstitutional.
Appeal Perfected.
The Department Of Justice was
informed that the Governments APP
peal from Judge Konx's decision
in the Federal Court Of New York,
holding the limitation of 100
whiskey prescription blanks each
now is formally before the Circuit
Court Of Appeals for the second
circuit. The appeal was perfected
by District Attorney Haywood, at
New York. The vacation schedule
of Federal judges now in effect, will
operate to delay for some weeks
final certification of the appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
The highest tribunal Is not ex-
pected to take UP the case before
late in fall or early winter, render
ing a decision improbable before
next January or February. The
Government, however, will seek
to have the case expedited.
A much broader question of
physicians unrestricted rights TO
prescribe whiskey, is involved in
another decision against the Gov
eminent by Judge Bourquin in the
Federal court of Montana. The
Federal district attorney has been
instructed to prepare an appeal
to the Supreme Court This in
wolves both the quantity and the
number of prescriptions given.
Montana Courts Ruling.
The court held the doctor could
prescribe any amount any time.
according to his judgment, without
regard to Government regulation.
The case, based upon a criminal
action against the physician, diff
fers from the New York case, as
it can be taken direct to the Su-
preme Court, without reference to
the circuit tribunal. The Govern
ment has not yet perfected the
appeal, but probably will have it
ready in time fou the Supreme
Courts fall term.
Although the Department of JUS
tice must prosecute the appeal,
through the Solicitor General, there
Is growing belief among Govern
ment legal authorities concerning
the soundness of both decisions in
the lower Federal courts. They
base their conclusion upon the
view that the Eighteenth amend
ment seeks only to forbid "bever,
age liquors." and does not deal at
all with medicinal liquors. Leading
government counsel express the
view that Congress exceeded It's
power under the amendment, by re.
stricting medicinal liquors or at
tempting to limit their use legiti.
mately.
