AND BOOZE
MAKE BAD MIXTURE
Mrs. Willebrandt Tells Senate Commit
tee Enforcement on Rum
Row Is Crippled.

Washington D. C. - Prohibition is
not being properly enforced on the
Atlantic Seaboard because of made
quate cooperation between federal
enforcement agencies, political influ-
ences, laxity of federal attorneys and
a failure to give more attention to
the big bootleggers, Mrs Mabel Walk
err Willebrandt, assistant attorney gen.
eral yesterday told the senate commit
tee investigating the internal revenue
bureau.
By crowding court dockets with cas-
es against the pint" bootleggers and
truck drivers, enforcement officials
declared Mrs. Willebrandt, who has
charge of prohibition cases in the de-
partment of justice, are not striking
at their source of supply. To do this,
she asserted, there must be more con-
centration on the big bootleg operators
Political influences are a serious
obstacle to enforcement, Mrs. WILLIE
brandt said, mentioning in this con-
nection particularly the state Of N. j.
and she endorsed a step that would
assist in eliminating these by the
placing Of prohibition agents under
the civil service. =.

the shining light in this game.
In their second game Silverlake
easily showed the MacWhytes into the
background. Silverlake showered the
basket at will and when the gun sound
ed Silverlake had piled up n points
to their opponents Ia.
Silverlake finally met their Water
loo in the smooth working st. James
machine. ST.. James started off with
a rush and before Silverlake woke up
the half ended with Silverlake at the
wrong end of a II to a score. In the
second half Silverlake let loose
fierce attack which just fell short OF
upsetting the st. James gang, but the
lead was too much to overcome.
st. James had an air tight defense
and it was mainly by long shots that
Silverlake shortened the lead of st.
James. The game ended with st.
James the winner, Fl to Is.
In the tournament first and sec
ond teams Fritz" Schmalfeldt won
forward berth on the first team and
"Babe" 10th and schubert" Frank
earned center and forward positions
on the second team.
Fritz played a fashy game all thru
the tournament and it was his two
long shots in the second half of the
last game that put new life into his
mates and made them shorten the
lead of the victors.
Shubert's fame had travelled before
him and opposing teams had him
closely guarded all the time. In spite
of this he sunk eight baskets in the
second game.
Babe played his usual steady con-
sistent game and was always on hand
in the pinches.
Silverlake scored 81 points to their
opponents At in all three games played.
