Special Dispatch 20 The Star.
VICTORIA, British Columbia, Feb
I'uarv l7-Staggered by the blows de-
Iivered in the last few months by
Canadian customs officers, the rum
running industry has changed its
methods All the old rum haunts
along the British Columbia coast are
deserted. Rum boats are seldom seen.
The reckless hijacktng of liquor car
goes has ceased. The business is be-
ing conducted on quiet. dignified lines,
but probably in just about the usual
volume.
The end of Owen Baker and Harry
SoWash, ace hijackerS of the liquor
piracy business on this coast, has
thrown decided scare into the whole
liquor traffic BY hanging these two
men the other day Canada has shown
clearly that, while II Is not stopping
the actual export of liquor yet, 1t will
not tolerate any disregard of Canadian
laws. SO long as the rum runners
observe Canadian law, as they usually
do, the Canadian authorities will not
bother them. But hijacking and vio-
lence are barred.
Baker and Sowash. who flourished
as liquor pirates de luxe, learned that
TOO late. Charles Morris, third MEM

ing schooner Beryl G. Of Vancouver
and killed her captain and his son.
After the courts had sentenced
Baker and Sowash to the gailows and
Morris to life Imprisonment custom
officers noticed a sudden change in
the operations Of the rum fleet. When
they swooped down on the uSual
haunts of liquor runners on lonely
islands they found them deserted. No
cases of hijacking have been reported
lately. Careful surveys Of the coast
have failed to reveal new liquor nests
and it is believed the smugglers are
transferring their carges to American
ships at sea instead of meeting them
III points on the coast or islands.

The 'rushes,'' Alma Rubens said,

The Lewis High game will he played Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at St. Mary's field and the Hartford game will bc contested at Trinity field in Hartford Saturday afternoon.
 New Britain has met Hartford five times in athletic contests this year and has succeeded in three of the contests SO that if the Red and Gold team loses Saturdays game. New Britain will be tied with it's Capital City rivals in total victories for the season. This is a good rec ord for many times New Britain has succeeded in winning the an- nual football game but has failed 10 carry away the majority of other games.
 Hartford was successful in foot ball and in track, but New Britain took two basketball games and q baseball game. If the junior varsity basketball games are counted New Britain has two more victories scored there.
 Claims are coming thick and fast from the Capital City that the team went into the New Britain game with a spirit of over conG- dence hampering f. The. defeat was bitter pill for the Hartford nino 10 swallow and this disap- pointment has awakened q spirit of revenge.
 In the game Saturday, New Brit ain will face q nine with its star pitcher, "Da2zy" Farrell, doing his best and a fighting gang in back of him. When he is going right Farrell is mighty hard to hit. New Britain will have to be at top form to win.
 Lewis High in a game played at Southington last year defeated the Red and Gold team and surprised state high school followers. Whoth- or "Huggy" Carlson will he able to stand the strain of two battles in a week will be seen when the re- suits are turned in.

 Their 15-round battle, therefore, looms as one of the most interest ing fistic engagements Of the year. according to critics.

Paul went into the ring that night despite the fact that illness had interrupted the final days Of training and he emcrg- cd with the crown by virtue of I5- round decision.
 The performance of this weeks combatants against the Cleveland baker, Johnny Bisko. may furnish ground for comparison, yet past events have proved that in many cases this sort Of argument is not worth while. Risko licked Berlen- bach and Stribling beat Risko.
 The young Georgian, who finished his intensive preparation here today. insists that he will knock out Ser lenbach.
 Pa" sribling condded that if Billy wins the light heavyweight title he will be ready to defend it within thirty days.
