 FROM N|ARATHO|VS
PUBLIC GAME HAS BEEN POST TONED FOR MATTER OF
 FEW WEEKS.
INDOOR BALL GAME SPEEDY
Two Strong Ladies' Teams Now Fully
 Organized and Going.

Tuesday nights indoor baseball game, staged by the women, was pret- ty much of ball game at that. The Marathon Maids, keyed up because of their defeat of the preceding week, bombarded their opponents, the Gate way Girls from the very first inning and more than squared accounts. The final score stood 19 to 13 in favor of the Marathon Lassies, but at that the Daily Gateway will not change the name of the paper on account of the defeat of the girls who are using Sew ard swell known slogan.
 Larssen, diminuative pitcher of the Gateway Girls, twirled commendably, considering it was her initial endeav- or, and wore the smile of determina- tion as she bowed to her successful adversary, Barnett, who pitched the steadiest game of the season in rath- CT handy fashion herself. Sheldon and Miss Bee, dark horse on the hilltop nine who substituted for Mcconnell put up good games behind the bat.
 One of the features of the evening was the playing at first base by She'll horn. Shelly" was moved over to first base because of the temporary absence of Bevier, regular caretaker of the initial sack for the Gateway Girls, and not only nabbed every thing that came her way, but injected a lot of pep into the pastime by her activity. Fucker, Lein and Jacobsen, .G.G. infielders, made remarkable pick ups and fielded their position like vet erans.
 Rede, Valade and Painter carried the bulk of the defensive work for their side, ably assisted by lessen and Banbury.
 After the game a general discus sion was held at which it was decided to postpone the playing of the pub lie game which the girls were anxious to play next week. MT. Badger over ruled the anticipation, pointing out several weaknesses still to be over come, and which can only be improv- ed upon through further practice games, and the unbroken attendance of everyone of the players.

cultural department. The Fess pro-
posal offered by the Ohio senator
as rider to the cooperative mar
ketfng measure, would have auth
orized an appropriation of 100000
600 for loans to farmers co-opera-
tives. 1t was showed under by Il
vote of 54 to 26.
Its defeat was more crushing than
that administered in the senate last
week to the McNary equalization fee
bill, which was opposed by the ad-
ministration and was rejected by a
six vote margin.
Adoption by the senate of an amend
meat eliminating naval stores from the
measure means that the cooperative
marketing bill must go to conference
House and senate leaders are agreed,
however, that this difference can be
adjusted and the measure sent to the
resident-probably the only farm re-
lief measure to reach the White House
during this session, which is nearing q
close The vote on the cooperative
marketing bill came after 10 hours con
tinuous session, during which wide
range of proposals, to change tariff
and railroad rates for the benefit OF
the farmer, and to aid him by other
methods had been thrown in the dis
card.
The vote on the Fess proposal came
late in the day and without pausing fol
a dinner recess the senate sent one
substitute after another down tc
crushing defeat.

l6 RUM RUNNING
SHIPS OFF WEST
JUST NOW
(By Dispatch A. P Wire)

SAN DIEGO, Calf, June 29.-Six-
teen British, Belgian, Panamanian
and Mexican rum runners, the great
in the history of the Pacific coast
rum running trade are lowering off
San Diego in sensational and
spectacular effort to land $4,000
cases of Scotch whisky and gin, valu-
ed at $4,75O,OOO before July 4, ac-
cording to prohibition enforcement
officers. Combating this rum run
ming fleet are the coast guard cut
ter Vaughan and the six fast patrol
launches.
One launch, suspected of being en-
gagged in landing liquor from the
rum fleet was captured in the har-
Dor yesterday and her crew of two
were held for inquiry.
Officials of the coast guard fleet
place the actual number of vessels
engaged in bringing liquor here
from British Columbia and trans
porting it ashore at more than forty.
The fast launches that bring the
Scotch and gin ashore from the
larger vessels lowering far offshore
are reaping enormous profits" said
one of the coast guard officers.
"These boats are getting from $40
to SIS a case for bring the stuff
ashore and as many of them can
carry 800 cases at a single trip they
are paid from $4,000 to $4,000 for
every voyage.
Many Of the boats can attain
speed of from 80 to 40 knots and
the only chance we have of catch
ing them is to corner them in the
harbor or have their engines break
down while we are chasing them"

VESSELS SOON

WASHINGTON, June 29.-After as
surances had been given it today that
increased transportation facilities
would be an important element in get
ting better grain prices for farmers,
the shipping board unanimously voted
to add SO vessels to it's fleet to aid in
the grain movement now on and an

The assurances which prompted the
boards action were given by Secretary
Hoover of the commerce department
and Secretary Jardine of agriculture,
who, it was announced, appeared at
the suggestion of President Coolidge
to "call attention to the acute grain
situation and the lack of sufficient
ships to transport grain to the mar
kets of the world.
Twenty-seven of the SO ships are to
be put into operation Immediately.
while the remaining 80 will have to
be conditioned before they can be put

was a renewal of the uproar which
