Manager Tijuana
Jockey Club Says
Horses Will Race

AS one who should know, Lewis
II. Falk, business manager of the
Tijuana Jockey Club, writing to
the Press on behalf of club, states
that the report that there will be
no racing at Tijuana this winter
is far from the truth, although he
puts it very nicely and says that
the statement is greatly in error.
Dating his letter October 9, and
doubtless speaking on behalf of
Smiling Jim Coffroth, he states
that the Tijuana meeting will be
opened Thanksgiving Day for 100
or more days of racing.
There will be $l,00O,000 dis
trlbuted,' he writes ."among the
winners and there will also be 800,
800 III added money for the six
stakes. Tijuana will have its best
race meeting The class of horses,
tables and riders will be better
than i'll previous seasons. This is
the true state of affairs and if YOU
desire to give your readers "a fact
full story, you now have the data
as set forth here

Lands REFUSES
TO SAY WHETHER
HE IS SATISFIED
Rumors and Charges
Thicken Air, Now
That Series Over
BY United Press Lensed Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Investiga-
tion into the New York Giant base
ball scandal Wi. be continued in
definitely.
Commissioner Landis, head of base
ball, before leaving for Chicago last
night, said most OF ilis time after
the finish of the world s series had
been taken up with the distribu-
ton of the million dollars among
the various shareholders. Ee did
hot comment on the rumor heard
during the series that he was going
to withhold the Giant players
share Cf the money but 1T is as
sumcd that Cozy Dolan and Jimmy
O'Connell were the only Giant play
crs who did not get their pay.
Investigation into the scandal is
still under way LanGis said. "As
said before, the case will not b"
closed So far l have GoHe every
thing tuat could be done, although
it may seem incomplete to many
leopie. ] won't say whether | AM
satisfied. The future will tell that. !"
In addition to the Doian-O Con
nell attempt 20 bribc Helnc Sand,
Lands alst may investigate stories
of Red Dobin and Lou Criger, form
er players, WHO said Giant players
had offered thom brides. There alsc
are charges of Ban Johnson. prc>i-
,lcrt of the american league, that
other players are involved and the
accusation of Barney Drcyfuss, own
er of the Pittsburgh Pirates, that
his players were tampered with.
If he has not done SO already,
Lands may investigate the report
on Broadway that an immense sum
of money was wagered that the
Giants would win the National
league pennant by two games.
Lands and other officials of the
game said they had been impressed
chiefly by the appalling stupid
ity' of DolaE and O'Cohnell in'try-
ing to get the Phillies to throw
game and give the Gian,s a pennant
that was as good as cinched without
crooked work.

LOCAL MAN USED
TO BE CAPTAIN
MARQUETTE TEAM

There is one man in Ell Centre
who is much elated over the sue
cess ofthe Marquette University
football team, whose splendid vic
tory of 81 to over the Navy at
Annapolis last Saturday has caus-
ed comment on the part of foot
ball fans all over the country.
The man is Earl j. Bodine, ad-
vertising manager of the Press,
VINO is Il graduate of the Marquette
institution, and who took a prom
ihcnt part in football activities
while attending the university. Bo-
dine was captain of the Marquette
eleven in 1919 and throughout that
season, they only lost one game and
that to Wisconsin state university.
Bodinc also had the pleasure of
playing on the 1917 team, which
made Il clean sweep, scoring 3S4
points TO their opponents 7.
Judging from the clippings Bo-
dino eluctantly dug out of the
bottom drawer CT his desk, he must
have been a "wiclSed player" and
one who was looked upon as
" go-gctter' by sport writer's in the
middle west.

HOUSING PROGRAM
 FOR THE US. ARMY
Senate and House Members Will
 Study Proposals

Washington. Dec. l2. -- A sub committee of members of the senate and house military committees will he appointed to investigate Secre- tary Weeks proposal for per manent housing program for the army. This was determined yesterday after the secretary had laid before the committees sitting in joint sos- sion, tue basic details If his plan and the necessity for it as seen by the department.
 Secretary Weeks estimated the total cost Of placing the military forces under permanent shelter would be around $1t5,G00 poo, based on the present army strength Of 1:5. .o00 men. He reminded the com mitteo that he had "on at least three occasions recommended an increase of l50 h00 but added that he saw no present indication of any material change being authorized.
 The construction foreseen hy the daoartment would necesSitate the expondit1re of sS4,0o0,000 in the United States, about $12,00o,o00 in Hawai- and $13,00Q,000 in Panama. No estimate was made for the Philippines, the secretary said, be- cause of their undetermined status" "
 A bill now before congress vas intended to establish policy, the war secretary explained, under which the department would be au- thorized to dispose of property no longer needed for military purposes and set the proceeds aside in specal fund to be expended for permanent quarters,
 Asserting that the present system of auartering troops not only in volved unjustifable expense, but was destructive of morale, Secretary Weeks said he hoped to see the de- partment's proposed policy approy- eA by the present congrSss. The con- struction program probably would cover fifteen years, army officers ac- companying the secretary said.
 The bill provides options for sites and municipalities should they desire to purchase properties to be dlspos- ed Of.

BRITISH TOPERS
 PREFER COCKTAILS
Expert Says Cigarettes Have Destroyed Taste for Wine

London. Dec l? -- The British palate for Vintage wines Is being strangled by tho cigarette and cock tail craze. according to a London wine expert, who also finds that steady drinking of whlskey will ruin any palate for the mellow products of France. Spain, and Portugal.
 Tn tnis connection one of the leading trade publications says that tho consumption Of claretS of all grades lis not a title Of what il was even 20 years ago"
 "Claret Is now almost a thing of the past" Il wine merchant declared, "and should imagine that it is drunk by only d small proportion of those who did so before the war. Its place has been usurped by whskey and soda. Young men nowadays do not know d really good wine when 1t is giyen to them, They prefer the inevitable small Scotch and splash. even though it usually costs them more.
 More people, including women now drink whiskey and sodas than ever before in my memory. More bottles Of whiskcy are sold at the present price of I2 shllNngs pence than even in the days when It could be bought for 4 shillings 6 pence"
