FACE THE FACTS
 CONFERENCE HELD
Continued from First page.)

'FF'f h' Wheelers thoir oppression may nc good Lord deliver us." He re- '9rred to Mr, Wheeler, general counsel of the league.
 Facts Different Now
 Representative Sosnowski rcnnh- llcan, Michigan, told tho conference that those who advocated prohibi. lion seven years ago undoubtedly wero sincere In their beliefs. but they now faced q different set of facts and do not feel inc same about 1t today" They want the Vol stead net modified changed or re- ptaled," in order that its evils may end.' he said.'
 The reason this country has rro- h'hition, he added. lis because its citizens, six years ago, accepted the prohibition theory as an aniidote for - multitude of postwar evils"
 Julian Goldman of Boston urged repeal of the NolStead act and pas sage of another act by congress de- lining the word "liquor" as applying to distilled spirits only. This, he said, would place wine and beer. no matter what their alcoholic content, outside the provisions of the 18th amendment, and nothing that the supreme court could do could bring them inside" Declaring that interpretation of the 18th amendment should be left 10 the states and communities. Mrs. R. M. Gibbs Of Baltimore said that In many cases the "wcll run saloon has been superseded by dcmoralizing in1uonccs in tho homes that are bound 10 react seriously against childhood"
 Rear Admiral W. w. Kimhall. re- tired, described tho prohibition laws IS 'immoral' and said that every citizen. civil or military. should al. ways obey. and at the same time constantly oppose, an immoral law"
 A rational middle course "brtWeon those who insist on enforcing inc statute on an unwilling people and those who oppose regulation" was said by William Bell Wait Of New York, to lie in "amondment and reg ulation, and with these things will come real temperance"

BASS HUGE
R||NGELl)P

PHILADELPHIA. July 1s.
About 20 900 ldsty-lunged fight fans
hooted the decision Of the judges
at the end Of the HoneylSoy Finne,
gan.Benny Bass fight at shibe Park
last night. The bout was ais
appointing In many ways, as neither
Fighter put up the sort OF contest
that was expected of him.
Bass was especially disappoint-
Ing from the fact that. instead Of
tearing into the Boston fighter ike.
his thousands of admirers expected
him to do, did a lot of sparring
In every round. In fact, outside
OF the second round, in which
each man scored knockdown, the
contest was mediocre. In the
second round the great throng was
brought to its feet when a left.
hand punch OF Finnegan sent Bass
to the mat. They had hardly got.
ten over the excitement when Bass
landed on Finnegan and knocked
him down. Referee Frank Nc.
Cracker started to count over Fin
negan's PROSTATE body, when the
bell rang, saving Finnegan from
being counted out.
: During the rest Of the contest
the men seemed afraid of each
other and did a lot OF hopscotching
around the ring. Finally this per-
Torrance became SO tame that the
spectators began to- boot the pair.
but 1t did not make them fight
any harder. All during the latter
part OF the bout both men were
overcautious. Finnegan proved to
be the better boxer, but Bass
seemed to hit harder than he did.
But Benny was so wild that most
OF his best.intended blows went
wide OF the mark.
Another thing that disappointed
host OF Benny's friends was a
tendency that Bass showed to hold
at every opportunity. In fact,
Benny was not the vicious, hard.
hitting little. fighter, that has won
so many battles before In this
city, and his showing was nothing
near what his friends had expected.
The majority OF the spectators.
seemed to think that Finnegan had
won the fight on points, and they
did not hesitate to display their re.
sentiment when the judges failed to
give the Boston boy the verdict.
