DRY AGENT FACES
 CONSPIRACY COUNT
Accused Of Plot to Violate Pro,
 hibitiOn Laws

Peoria, Ill, July 14 (P)-~J. F Ash. CT, Hone wolf of the federal dry squad, and two Of his mates, who introduced a new wrinkle in prohl- httion raiding when they purchased saloon and under the banner Uncle sam's Place" obtained evi- dence against Peoria booueEgers, have encountered legal difficulties of their own.
 Asher, Max Fartzig and T. |" Howard have been subpoenaed 10 appear before the grand jury to eX- plain charges that Peoria city and county officials were implicated in conspiracy to violate the prohibition law.
 But while States Attorney II. F. Pratt was issuing the legal papers and seeking consultation with Asher, the federal agents, forty Of whom swooped down on the city last Saturday, continued their raids, making thirty additional arrests Monday to add to the Saturday and Sunday toll of ITO. Some of the places previously raided were visited again.
 Ashers refusal to confer with the states attorney unless the United States district attorney was present, resulted in Pratt issuing the sub- poena, with threat to file charges unless the agents appeared before the grand jury
 The council also Is expected to take a hand in the affair, Alderman Walter Ireland stating that he would introduce a resolution tonight ask ing an investigation of statements credited to the agents that two thirds of the police department was involved In shady transactions
 The Peoria roundup was one of the uueerest coups in prohibition en- forcement history. Asher and Hart z,s came to Peoria two months ago. gaining the confidence of liquor manufacturers and obtaining eVl- dence. the saloon purchased by the dry agents was used as 8 base oi operations,
 Arranrements were made for l,ouor supply agents to deliver alcohol to the saloon and as they arrived they were seized. The 4o drv agents then were unloosed upon the city
 1rron his return to Chicago, Cap tain A; z. Townsend, chief of gener- al nrohibition agents, declared thai anti prohibition conditions In Feof,a were the worst he had seen any where in the country.
 The raids served to revive mention A, the name of Jack Johnson, for mer heavyweight champion. John eon's csr was tagged for parking over the hour limited and when ht appeared at the police station ne was accompanied by two dry agent; who corroborated his story that h' was assisting in the raid. Later however, officials at the fedora building cast some doubt on the e% tent of his aid.
 Most of the 200 persons arrested have been released in 42oo0 bond tt await the action of tho federa grand jury
 Charles Wilson, whose place wa' raided Saturday, was raided agar yesterdav. Asher said; Peoria boot leeeers are the funniest lot l evel ran across. I raided Wilson's place Saturday. arrested him and took hin to jail. Today l noticed he had re opened his saloon,
 "I had my coat off and walked II the place with my gun strapped ol the outside and he sold me anothe drink and I had him arrested agalh If seems as If Peoria bootleggers dc light in being arrested.

Manager John J. McGraw has
given his consent to the plan and it
will be the first time such a feat ever
has been attempted in the major
major leagues, or probably in any
other league.
PLAYS FOUR PLACES
During the present season Kelly
has played at four positions for the
Giants. Besides first base, his regu-
lar berth, he has filled in at second
base, left field and right field. In
spring practice he played at third
base and shortse5p and last season
he was in center field in several
games.
In exhibition games Kelly has been
sent to the mound as pitcher. and his
mates say he has plenty of speed and
control, even if his curves are not of
the most puzzling variety.

That leaves just one position -

BUCK HARRIS
. LEARNS HIS
LESSON
Stocks Washington With
Good Subs, Recalling
- 1924 Series.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-CR-Stanley
Harris, manager of the world cham.
pion Washington Senators, learned in
the worlds series year ago that
there is truth in the oft-heard argu-
ment that no baseball team is stronger
than its reserves.
Washington has profited by the les.
son, for behind the regular lineup now
is powerful squad of veterans and
youngsters ready to step in whenever
q regular falters.
Against the Giants In 1924, Miller
and Taylor showed poorly in the in.
field after Roger Peckingaugh was
injured and Bluege was shifted to the
short field.
Infield lapses almost cost Wash
tngton the worlds title.
SCOTT IN RESERVE.
In the coming clashes with Pitts.
burgh, Harris is well fortified to Crap
pie with injury. Behind Peckinpaugh,
whose long service has left him open
to trouble with his legs, there stands
Everett Scott, who, as a member Of
the Red Sox and Yankees, set up u
record for continuous major league
play. Scott left the regular Yankee
lineup only this year and still is re-
garded as a capable performer.
Joe Harris, Memo Leibold, Bob
Veach and Tex Jeanes, three of them
veterans Of outfields play, will sup.
port the outer defenses, where Leibolj
was ut home last season as a ca.
pable reservist.
Harris also plays first base.
Pittsburgh, and Buddy Myers, from
New Orleans, are youngsters trained
for infield duty If needed.
I INJURY DAMAGING.
Pittsburgh is not SO well fortified
for the secondary defense, particularly
since having lost one of the clubs main
reserve bulwarks in Johnny Rawlings,
who suffered broken leg not long ago
and il out of the series. Rawlings has
long been noted for his utility work.
Tho Pirates, however, have four re-
kervists likely to see service in the
coming series. Chiefnf them is John
(Stuffy) McInnis, old Athletic star,
who has hit above 800, and is ex-
pected to do the pinch duty and re-
place Grantham at first base. Fresco
Thompson, shipped out to Denver and
recalled this season, was at second
base late in the year when Moore and
Rawlings both were on the injured
list, and he did well. He is fast, a
good fielder and fair hitter.
Carson Bigbee, regular of a couple
of seasons back, is the fourth man in
the outfield squad and can be depended
upon in an emergency.
McKechnie's main reliance for re-
lief duty on the mound is likely to be
Johnny @Jughandle" Morrison, whose
curves are well calculated to BATTLE the
Washingtonians If Morrison draws a
regular assignment for the series. Babe
Adams, hero of the 1909 conquest OF
Detroit, is behind him along with Tom
Sheehan and Rube Oldham.
Washington's main reliance for re.
lief pitching centers on Marberry who
performed well in last years series
and Zachary, the southpaw.

without a Heye on it-a rangy, slip
perry, glue-fingered pass-snatcher, bore
the brunt of the Saints attack, al
though little Rips, fullback, did good
work. especially on defense.
Fell punted as the second quarter
opened. He did some good toe-work,
as did Walker of Academy.
From this punt of Fells, Academy
worked the ball up the field steadily,
mostly on cut-in runs, until it was
placed for first down by Hubert and
Obit on st. Mary's 11-yard mark.
Hubert found an opening at right
guard for seven, but Walker was stop
ped twice by the left side of the st.
Mary's line. Carl replaced Birge as
Academy quarterback and on fourth
down Obit cut inside left end for the
touchdown. Walkers kick for sxtra
point was blocked.
Academy kicked as the final period
opened. On the first play, Fell flung
beautiful pass to McIlwane, who got
clear through the Academy left side
and galloped half the length of the
field for touchdown, tying the score.
McIlwane, hurried, missed the ball
trying to kick goal.
st. Mary's kicked off over the goal
line. Walker punted back. Heye
threw running pass to Reynolds, then
made first down. Heye made a great
fingei-tips catch of Fell's pass for a
25-yord gain to the Academy fifteen
yard line. st. Mary's tried to slice
guard and tackle for another first
down but four plays fell three yards
short and the ball went over.
Academy tried to run the ball out
from the shadow of the goal twice but
failed, and Walker kicked to Nell
wane on the 27-yard mark. A pass
failed, Mc1lwane made no gain. Gil

MISS FORDYCE
NEW THREAT
IN GOLF
By WARREN w. BROWN


ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 2.-Threc
former champions. and a young lady
from Youngstown, Ohio, a stranger
to these women's national golf cham
pionship semi-finals, were still among
those present when the fourth day of
match play opened at the st. Louis
Country Club today.
Mrs. Alexa Stirling Fraser Of OF
tawa, defeated Miss Mary Il. Browne
of Los Angeles, last years finalist,
3 and ., in match that was fea-
tured by the brilliant fashion in
which the winner began, and the
remarkable uphill struggle the loser
waged from the sixth through to the
finish at the sixteenth.
MISS COLLETT WINS.
Another champion, Miss Glenna Col
lett. of Providence, won by the same
3 and 2 score, from Miss FRITZ
Stifcl. of Wheeling, W. Va, but it
was not until the winner sank n
fifty-fOoter for half at the thirteenth
that the nerve of FRITZ faltcred.
A third champion, Miss Edith
Cummings, of Onwentsia, took an
early lead over Mrs. o. S. Hill of
Kansas City. and held it all the way,
winning eventually. 4 and 3.
GETS FANCY BEATING.
The other Chicagoan, also from
Onwcntsia. Mrs. F. G. Let's. was I'M
lucky enough to encounter Ohio's
contribution to the tournament. Miss
Louise Fordyce, of Youngstown, and
was forced to submit to as fancy a
trimming as one young lady has given
another since this tournament began.
The winning margin of Miss Fordycc
was and 3.
Today Mrs. Fraser meets Miss
Fordyce, and Miss Collett and Miss
Cummings will resume the argument
that ended in victory for the .Provi-

SCHOOL.LEACUE
OPENS WITH
THRILLER

Title contenders promise to be
many in the Academic Football League
this fall. There's already a flourish
ing dispute regarding supremacy be-
tween the adherents of the first two
league members to meet-San Antonio
Academy and st. Mary's Academy
the mole-skinncd representatives of
which did battle at Schwab Field
Thursday afternoon in &c tie.
The crowd of several hundred got
more than the usual share Of thrills
for opening day.
The surprisingly woodworking lit
tie st. Mary's team got away with n
breath-taking forward pass attack, fail
ing to complete only two out Of eight
and using a pass, Fell TO McIlwane,
the goal-line for their touchdown.
LOTS OF MATERIAL.
San Antonio Academy gave evil
dence of large stock of grid material.
especially backs. The teamwork of
the heavier Cadets was not as far adj
vanced as that,sof the Saints, as is
usual when virtually no positions on
u tcauia udfc DCtH ucllHlttiN dllOlteu.
Walker and Obit looked like coming
stars behind the scrimmage line. and
there were no less than six others who
displayed the makings of fine backs.
Talent in the lines is not lacking
on either team.
Arredondo of st. Mary's and Ross
of Academy proved themselves an able
pair of little centers. Arredondo, one
Of Coach Dale McCoy's finds" played
rowing center on defense and gave a
first-class account of himself.
While not working together yet as
they should, the guards and tackles
fought desperately as individuals and
no glaringly weak spots were uncov-
cred in either line. =. End play also
WAS flashy at times, CARA of the
Saints and Searcy of the Cadets get
ting in the limelight most frequently
with their speed and hard, clean tack
ling.
HEADY QUARTERBACK.
One Of the main reasons the game
was a tie and not San Antonio
Academy victory was Quarterback Bill
Mcllwane, st. Mary's captain, who
gagged accurately the powers of his
backfield and whose choice of plays
on the whole was so opportune and
expert as to mark him an unusually
promising scholastic field general.
Fell, husky lad converted from a
linesman into halfback Of merit this
fall, and Heye-no st. Mary's Acade-
