TORONTO, Ontario, July 81
Canadian prohibition enforcement
officials who set out recently to dis
cover the source of flood of genu
inc old e-prohibition whisky, gin,
rum and wines. including huge
quantities of champagne, which
flowed through the Toronto bootleg
market, have come up for air with
a theory Whence the liquor came
or whittier it went-for it all has
disappeared-the authorities could
not learn in detail. But why it ap-
peared and why it was snapped up,
they think. is quite clear.
The answer is politics" On Octo-
Der % this dry" province of Ontario
is scheduled to vote on the question
of repeating the provincial Eolstead
act. known as the Ontario temperance
act, and returning to governmental |
sale of hard liquors. with beers and
light wines purveyed in licensed ho-

he vets. Bootleg prices slumped,

the vets. Bootleg prices slumped,
even for the old stuff.
But if the liquor holders thought
wet days were ahead, there were also
long -parched individuals who thought
no such happy ending was in sight.
And it was these, according to the au-
thorities, who promptly bought up
all the e-prohibition stuff they
could get their hands on.
Meanwhile the campaign gathers
strength with the dry forces letting
loose an avalanche of statistics to
show the benefits of prohibition and
the vets emitting propaganda to
show why the pendulum should
swing in the other direction. The
wet battalions count on civic pride
as an important factor in their cam
paign.
Montreal Becomes Mecca.
Montreal, situated in the center OF
wet Quebec province, they point out,
has biossomed and burgeoned a
mecca for motor tourists from the
more or less arid United States and
has reaped a rich harvest in dollars.
The dry forces here contend, how
ever, that Montreal's wetnesS has
made it a stamping ground for inter
national crooks, the headquarters of
dope smugglers and dealers and many
other terrible things.

GARCIA, DUNDEE
 ARE ELIMINATED
Kaplan And LObardO To Meet
 In Semi Finals

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Jose Lom- bardo. of Panama, and Louis "Kid' Kaplan, of Meriden, Conn.,, will be the principals in the semi-final match in the featherweight elimination to be held at Madison Square Garden Decem- Der 12. Danny Kramer, Philadelphia lefthander will meet the winner of this match in the final round of the tour nament three weeks later.
 This was determined by draw made today at the offices of the state athletic commission in the presence of the man agers of the three principals. The com mission suggested a proposition to the three managers that Bobby Garcia, of Camp Holabird, Md, and Mike Dundee, of Rock Island, H., be matched mp in a 12-round bout prior to the Deeem- Der 12 fight and the winner meet Danny Kramer in another bracket of the semi final but the managers unanimously re- iec.ed the proposition and the commlS- sion announced it would go through with theOoriginal schedule.
 Dundee and Garcia were defeated in the first round of the tournament but the commission thought q doubt existed in the mind of the public as to the margin of defeat and the proposition to re-admit them to the tournament was made but promptly squelched by Bob Lew. manager of Jose Lombardo, Max Hoff, manager of Danny Kramer, and Dennis. McMahon, manager ot Louis Kid" Kaplan.
 The commission ruled the semi-final match would be scheduled for 12 rounds md the final bout fifteen rounds.

BAMA GOLFERS T0PLAY GEORGIA Teams To Meet At Roe buck Thanksgiving
 Morning

The Alabama golf team will play the Georgia clan at Roebuck Thanksgiving morning, it was learned Tuesday. Last year the two teams met on the morning of the Alabama-Georgiaf football classic, and this year the event. will be dupli- cated.
 The Crimson Gophers will bring a strong contingent to the Magic City to give battle to the Georgians, and they should certainly be familiar with the local course, as five of the six men on the team claim the Magic City as their home.
 The Capstone team will be composed of Bobby Baugh, Glen Crisman, Frank Blackford, Johnny Thames, Jimmie Hillhouse and Dreden Nabors, all of whom with the exception of Crisman, are from Birmingham.
 Played Before
 The two teams have been rivals on the links before. The Alabama con tingent defeated the Georgians last year when they met in Montgomery, while they also defeated their Cracker foes in the tournament held in Atlanta last year when the Crimsons won the south ern title. However, Alabama has lost two of their best golfers in Files and Jack Crenshaw, and the Georgians may have considerably better chance to turn the tables than ever when they meet Thanksgiving morning. The Capstone quartet to play against Georgia will certainly boast some ex- cellent performers, however. Bobby Baugh is one of the best youthful golf CTS in the state of Alabama, and has won many laurels on the links. Glen Crisman, from Selma, has very few peers, especially among the more youth

HIM INV GOOD STEAD Detroit Star Always Treats Umpires With Re-
 spect And Invariably Gets Breaks

erang came when he read in the pubic prints what Cobb said about him. A day or so later Cobb was at bat with the winning run on second. The pitcher was trying to pass Cobb purposely, for two were out and the pitcher would ather take a chance on the next man. Steps Across Plate Connolly was umpiring behind the plate that day, calling balls and strikes. Cobb was eager to hit--he had already made three hits off the pitcher and felt sure that he could hit him safely a fourth time. The pitcher had made three pitchouts and on ehe next ball, pitched wide of the outside corner, Cobb stepped across the plate and chopped. He lifted the ball into left field for a single, streakiEg to first and cut the in side corner of the bag, ready to take second on the throw home to nail the runner going from second. The left 1 fielder had to go quite a way for the ball and he made the throw to second, Cobb not trying to advance. Cobb slid back into first, arose, dusted his clothes and then his attention was attracted to Connolly, standing at the plate, yelling
 You're out"
 I'm what?
 re out, say. O-U-I Cobb ran to the plate.
 "Why am I out? How can be out? :? hit safely. didn't I?"
 That you did, but you hit outside the rules. You stepped across the, plate to hit and the rules don't allow that. When you step across the plate you're out" But didn't step across the plate."
 Well, you stepped on the plate and you're out"
 Why It Happened
 And Cobb was out. The decision was final. He lost base hit, and losing a base hit is something ball player can not endure.
 It probably never would have happen ed had not Cobb given out that inter- view. If Cobb had not called Connolly great umpire Connolly would not have been so technical in all probability; he would have been prone to overlook the over-stepping. But Cobb had called Connolly a great umpire and Connolly stepped out and proved it, or tried to. Connolly at least showed that public fattery can not sway his judgment. He wanted to show the multitude what kind of man Tommy Connolly really was. It was a long time before Cobb for gave Connolly. He never forgot the base hit that he lost, but in time he ad- mitted again that Tommy Connolly was about the best umpire in tie league. Maybe not the best, but anyway about the best.

LANIER IS READY
 FOR ST. BERNARD
Saints And Poets To Stage Great
 Battle Thanksgiving

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. B. Sidney I.anier high school and St. Der nard of Cullman will clash at Cramton Bowl Thanksgiving in the final gridiron battle of the Poets schedule. The Saints are coming to the capital city rated as one of the best teams ever turned out at the catholic school. The Poets are in good condition to give their foes a tough holiday battle.
 Today closed Lanier's hard practice for the curtain engagement. Tomorrow the workout will be very light, con- fined largely to signal practice and bunting.
 O'Brien, brilliant quarterback for the Poets, is not expected to take part in the Thanksgiving struggle because of parental objection. He was injured q few weeks ago in the Lanier- -Ensley game and has not been permitted to play since. Kaminsky will fill his place in deciding the plays of the locals.

KELLY ELECTED HOWARD LEADER Star Lineman Gets Honor Twenty-One Letters
 Given Out

Lafayette Kelly, for two years a start tackle on the Howard eleven, has been chosen to lead the Bulldogs on the grid iron during the 1924 season. At a meeting of the 20 lettermen for the past season, held at the Howard gymnasium Tuesday afternoon, Kelly was elected leader for next year.
 Kelly, who prepped at Walker Coun- ty High school, is one of the most pop ular members of the Bulldog eleven. He won a varsity berth in his freshman year, and during the past season--his sophmore year-was. one of the out standing stars of the line. Kelly, of short and sturdy figure, has the repu- tation of owning probably more nick names than any other member of a squad of Bulldogs, famous for adopted monickers. Kelly will answer equally we'll to any of the following: "Fayetty, "Jaiibird," "Ox," Rascal" and per haps one or two others.
 Coaches Gillem and Sessions an nounced a list of 21 men winning the H for the past season, as follows: Lollar, Wilkerson, Kelly, l.. Brewster, Spicer, Stubbs, 0. Brewster, Stevens, Me Carthy, Casey, Scokel, Wells, Knight, Bains, Sheppard, Brooks, Williams, R. Tinkelpaugh, Harwood, Barton and Manager Carter.
 Sweaters To Be Given At Tuesdays meeting, measurements for varsity sweaters were taken, and will probably be ready for distribution among the football men within a short time.
 o. Coach Gilletn, in talk to the squad Tuesday, indicated that spring training will be held on Berry field next spring, while it had been previously stated that efforts will be made to have another football training camp next fell.
 The record of the Howard eleven during the past season, while not at all sensational, was not a bad one. Out of nine games, the Bulldogs won three, lost four, and tied the Owenton Pan- ther in the big clash of the season. Tab ulation shows that the Bulldogs scored 104 points during the past season to S3 for their opponents Only a very few times in the past has Bulldog eseven outscored the. opposition during sea son. Towards opponents this year in cluded such teams as Auburn, Mercer and Oglethorpe, the latter winning a claim to the S. I. A. A. championship. Only two men will be lost by gradua- tion this year, Stubbs and Sheppard, while only one or two others are not expected to return to the fold next year. With the material coming up from the freshman team, the Bulldogs should be well fortified next season, so far as ma terial is concerned.
 Of this years lettermen, the following won the football H for the first time : Wilkerson, L. Brewster, Casey, Wells, Knight, Sheppard, Harwood Barton and Manager Garter.
 These men will have two service stripes on the sleeves of their new jer- seys: Lollar, Kelly, Spicer, c. Brewster, Scokel, Brooks, and Bains.
 Three year men are Stevens, Me Carthy and R. Tinkelpaugh, while Stubbs is the only man to wear four service stripes upon the sleeve of his new jersey.

 Dave Evans, former matchmaker at the club, has volunteered his servlces to make the show a success and he has gone right ahead arranging an all-star card. Petey Sarron and Red Burke, who fought so sensationally at the last show staged by the club, have been re. matched for the Community Chest cara. They Will DdttIe TUT eeh iOunuS Petey says he thinks he can oumr Red off this time. The railroad man says he's gong to flag Petey's train.

 This will make up an all-star cart which should prove one of the best ifs tic attractions held in Birmingham dur ing 1924 and reports from fan row ar' to the effect that all the boxing bug are making their plans to attend. The! have been hungry for few uppercut and left jabs ever since the club' board nailed up the gym to professiona boxing. All the boxers will give thel services absolutely free.
