RUM FIGHT NOT
 WON BY OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Prohibition conditions, present and prospective, were pictured to the House last week in the report of the appropriations subcommittee which drafted the an nual supply bill for the Treasury and Postoffice Departments.
 The hearings of records which was conducted in executive session, dis closed that Rear Admiral F. c. Billiard, commandant of the Coast Guard, told the subcommittee his anti-rum run ming fleet would be in full operation by July 1, next, and that there has been little. if any, reduction in the amount of liquor smuggled by sea" since he appeared before a House committee early last year.
 Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said, however, there is unquestionably distinct improvement as regards the quantities of liquors being snug gled into the Atlantic ports at this time.'
 345 Vessels in Fleet
 The new coast guard anti-rum fleet will comprise 20 destroyers and two ships of the mine sweeper class trans ferred from the Navy and now being reconditioned, and 223 cabin cruiser type motor boats and 100 picket boats now being constructed at various points.
 Admiral Billiard was unable to es- timate the exact quantity of liquor landed on American shores. Seizure of vessels disclosed, reached it's peak in August with 31, and Septem- Der with B.
 The old type of moonshiner, he as- serted, is virtually a thing of the past There has been a decided decline in the use of pure alcohol, he said, add ing that prohibition was more effec- tive now than last year, because of the curtailment of the supply of bond ed whiskey from 12,500, 900 to 1,700,O ,OOO gallons, and because of illegitimate permit holders being weeded out
 Assistant Commissioner Jones dis closed that more physicians are taking out permits to prescribe intoxicating liquors for medical purposes, while $500 such permits were revoked last year on account of bad faith on the part of the holders

SCHOOL CUNTS FURNISH
MANY COURT ENCOUNTERS

Five basketball games are carded
for the high school teams before
the Christmas holidays bring the
court season to a temporary close.
Three games are on the menu for
today and two more will be played
tomorrow.
Central and Calvert Hall at the
Arcade, Business and Fort Hum

Props will mingle tonight. Tomor-
row the Western and Eastern teams
will play games.
The Central Calvert Hall game is
certain to attract a large throng.
1t will be played at the Arcade as
a concluding number to games
played by the st. Mary's Celtics, Of
Alexandria, and the Epiphany
Juniors, and the Central Alumni
and the Yankees. The first game
will be played at 1880 O'Clock and

The Central Alumni have a
galaxy of former Central stars, all
Of whom have played in college.
Princeton, Dartmouth, and George
Washington are the colleges that

GRANGE ERRED,
STUHLDREHER

"Red Grange made a big mis-
take" says Harry Struldreher,
leader of the -Four Horsemen."
"I don't mean Grange had no
right to play professional foot ball"
continued Struhldreher, but
think he owed 1t to Illinois and
Coach Zupplxe to graduate.
"In our class at Notre Dame we
had almost the entire team that
went undefeated in 1924. On grad.
uation day every member of the
team who was in the class marched
In cap and gown and received their
diplomas. Not one failed in his
studies in any Of the classes.
Grange is. / think, the greatest
foot ball carrier the game has ever
known. But every man who has
worn the colors of university
should have enough school and
class spirit to want to graduate.
1t Is not the great value of the
piece Of sheepskin, but it is tradi-
ton.
Grange is now an outsider. He
just doesn't belong. If he does go
back and graduate he will, in my
mind, do what he should"

and which prevented the Phantom
Finn from running to form last
summer. has disappeared Paavo

NurTni has received an invitation
to visit New Zealand this winter,
and now that he is fit to do his
stuff again may decide TO take the
trip down under for a short cam
paign on the Antipodean tracks.
1t is known, however, that the
Finish athletic officials are rather
against Paavo giong away from his
native land at this time.
The Finnish officials, It has been
learned, were opposed to Nurmt's
jaunt to this country last winter.
Official permission to visit tho
United States is said to have been
gently refused the Runner Of the
Ages, but Paavo insisted and. in
the end, had his way.
In this respect Nurmi was more
fortunate than Charley Hoff, the
Norwegian vaulting star, who was
prevented from coming here last
winter by the obstinate attitude of
the Morse athletic leaders.

Carrying with him several records
captured in the Western Associa-

at bat $50 times and slammed out
213 hits and was given 101 free
tickets to first. Thirty-four Of the
213 hits counted for circuit clouts,
46 were doubles, 10 triples. and Is
sacrifice hits. He batted in 131
runs.
In the center field, he made 444

Ten OF the errors, however, were
made during the latter part of the

games, and the list of errors piled

The match was a scrappy one.

NJ GRAW WANTS
JEWISH STAR

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-The Gil
ants still are on the hunt for a
great Jewish ball player. John ].
McGraw said today that he believed
he had found his star at last-and
way down in Texas, too.
I'VE have paid $4,000 for a
shortstop by the name of Cohen, .
said Mac. Cohen is with Waco in
the Texas League. The youngster
is only 19, but has all the earmarks
Of a coming star. No, we will not
have him at Sarasota this spring. or
at the Poo Grounds next summer.
I have decided to let him remain at
Waco for another season and have
him report at the training camp in
1927.
II sent three scouts to look at
Cohen and got reports from
friends in the league, and they all
praised the Jewish boy as a find,
If ever there was one down that
way.
I'VE failed with Solomon, but we
still are on the hunt for a Jewish
star for the Giants. New York has
a tremendous number of fans of
Jewish blood and we know they
would like to see a Jewish player
IN the Giants"
1t develops that Waco wanted
$35 900 for immediate delivery of
Cohen, but McGraw felt that an
other season in the minors would
do Cohen a lot of good.
McGraw's experiment with Cohen
is similar to that he tried with
Jimmy O'Connell, who was bought
from San Francisco for delivery a
year from the time of purchase.

JOE PATE WILL

Connie Mack, an expert judge of
players since 1887. recently induced
Joe Pate to leave his oil holdings in
Fort Worth and visit New York for
q few days. Pate was so impressed
with the North that he stifled his
emotions about Texas and signed
a contract.
The new pitcher Is one Of the
oddities Of baseball. He has been
IN the minors for eleven years and
is wealthy. Once the Boston Red
Sox drafted him and he wouldn' t
report.
{ In 1922 the Athletics picked Pate
IN the draft and he threatened to
quit rather than leave Texas. De.

Private feuds, eliminating In
fights OFF the field, are reasonably
frequent among athletes. but they
are far more prevalent among mem
hers OF the same teams than be-
tween members OF different teams.
That is absolutely true, and 1T IS q
point that has been entirely over
looked by the proponents Of sweet
ress and light In sport.
"A meeting OF members Of Football
Gnd other teams when of the
field is very much like a gathering
Of former soldiers. The humorous
incidents are those best remem-
bered. Apart from the jokes. the
conversation will consist largely OF
anecdotes and Of technical criticism
or explanation We cannot recall
a single instance OF men who were
IN rival football teams one yeac
meeting off the field the next year
and indulging in a fight over some
thing that occurred In the previous
lear.
No further evidence Of the fact
that the really serious anim0sities.
among athletes are those arising
within the team is needed than is
offered by the history of the
Yale football team of 1925. which
was wrecked by internal strife.
1t might be supposed from din-
tribes hurled against professional
boxing by the truly righteous,
that the '.brutalized" young men in
that sport were kept awake at
nights by seething hate for OPP
ponents who had beaten them, or
had administered severe punish
ment. Nothing could be further
from the truth. 1t is a common
experience wherever boxing is held
to have boxers who have battered
each other all over the ring gather
at the clubs office, shake hands
and converse pleasantly while being
paid off.
Night after night the fans may
see a man who has been whipped
by a participant in star bout
climb through the ropes to be In
troduced, shake hands and wish
him luck.
