 Kansas was the pioneer state in the United States to prohibit the liquor traffic by constitutional amendment, and it proelsims the success of this legislation which forever barred in. toSieating liquors from the states boundary" the statement says, add. ing,
 To-day, more than four decades after the passage of the amendment, there Is found throughout the state a well developed temperance con- seienee-ra strong disgust for intem- peranee, respect for the law. which in early years of prohibition vas brought about by eompulsion. now Is yolun- tary.

 Thereupon Kansas proceeded 10 provide a law which penalized these yiolators.

Ross Barnes led big league htters in 1S72-3-5-6. He was master at hitting flair fouls" a play that has long since disappeared.

Pop Anson played third until the game was safe, after which he relieved White behind the plate. Chicago scor- ed in every inning but one. The score:

 While several major league clubs are sadly in need of a competent third baseman. the tail-end Athletics boast three good players at that position.

 A year ago Sammie Hale was purchased at the reputed cost of about s50.O00 He failed to live up to the advance notices and was soon Icrrickcd in favor Of Dykes,
 Meantime. Mack has apparently de- cided that Riconda. who has been playing substitute roles. is superior 10 ihe other two. He has the call at present.
 Pitcher Allan Sothoron, who failed in the American league with the St. Louis Browns and Cleveland Indians, is finding the going rather smooth in the National.
 Sothoron was resurrected by Man ager Hickey of the St. Louis Cardi- nals after being dropped from the American league ranks
 With the Cardinals, a rank disap- pointment, at present the taiender in the National league race, Sothoron is pitching fine ball. close to the 800 mark. Many of his defeats have been by narrow margin.
 Sothoron. always the possessor of much natural ability, failed in the American largely because of his in ability to field. He was practically bunted out of the league.
 By way of showing that jinz does not always follow the medalist, Fred die Lamprecht of Tulane University, low in the qualifying round, stepped put and won the Cleveland district golf championship in decisive style. Newspaper men who saw Luis Firpo the day he arrived in New York to begin training for his com- ng fight with, Harry Wills say the South American carries little sur plus weight.

GALL BRITISH GOVT. PLANS 'REDDEST YET
Opponents Feel Strongly Against Rents and EYictiOnS Policy

By The Associated Fiess.
 London, April 2.--The "reddest piece of work get attempted by me labor government Is the description applied by the ministry's opponents to the bill dealing with rents and eyictions which comes up for it's sec ond reading in the house Of commons today and which promises to set the political heather afire.
 Its sponsor is the minister or health, John Wheatloy, whose action in giving virtually free hand to the poplar guardians in the matter Of nn- employment relief raised a storm which for a time seemed to threaten the existence Of the infant govern ment.
 The main feature of the bill, which repeals some recent legislation, is that a tenant shall not be liable to evic- ton for nom payment of rent when such non-payment is due to the ten ants inability to get work. All the provisions of the measure arc retro active.
 The conservatives have risen in arms against the bill and given, no. tice Of a motion for its rejection, while many of the liberals are appar- entity equally hostile and even some Of the moderate laborites are said to be doubtful of it's wisdom.
 It's opponents declare the measure Is iniquitops and ask why the land lords are singled out 10 bear such a burden: why not equally compel the grocer and butcher to provide food for nothing. They also contend that the actual tenant Of house might be unemployed while others Of his tam fly were earning money and thus be well able to meet his obligations.
 The measure was instigated and is strongly supported by the Clydeside group, who for a long time have been aeitating against evictions for non payment Of rent, which have been numerous in Scotland.
 The government will Have the whole strength Of the conservatives against them on the second reading, but the action Of the liberals Is doubtful The latter gre holding Q party meeting today 10 consider the question. It is believed the majority favor conceding the second reading and eliminating tho provisions to which they object by amendments in committee.
 Tn any case big struggle over tho bill is deemed inevitable, the sngges- ton 1. made in some quarters that the government is riding for fall.
