prevent their statesmen from using
liquor in promotion of sales.
This means of cutting off what the

Treasury, in charge of prohibition en-
forcement, the committee announced.
In a letter to the committee, which
was organized to promote law obServ-
ance, Gen. Andrews said

liquor by way of entertainment upon

they want the law enforced"
Gen. Andrews said in his letter that
he was confident business men
throughout the country, if the matter
were properly presented to them,
would readily enough agree to cut
out this practice" by refusing to au-

purchase of liquor. He closed by re-

committee was not selecting any par

La Barba's right to the titles
One of the highest English authori.
ties, Peggy Bettison of the London
Sporting Club, has come forward with
the statement that Clarke Is a. real
fighter and legitimate champion of

enough to stamp the little Scotsman

La Barba has just reached his ma

15.round route. For that reason his
manager will try to have the fight
cut to IL rounds. This would prove
advantageous to La Barba, as Clarke
has been forced to fight 20 rounds.
Cutting him down 8 rounds would
work more to La Barba's advantage.
1t is hardly likely that the New York
authorities will make an exception in
this case, inasmuch as they refused
to permit the coast lad to fight more
than 6 rounds, even though he had

A wet field causes players to
handle a ball differently than
when the field is dry and the turf
firm. This is especially so when
catching punts. We have illus.
trated the method of catching
them on-a dry field. On a wet
field there is this slight difference.
The ball Is guided by the hands
to a pouch or basket formed by
the legs, stomach. arms and hands
when it is wet Zig. A., instead of
being plucked out Of the air by
the hands and pulled directly
under an arm. Thus, catching a

around 1t as 1t is taken. Then 1t
can't slip away.
On wet days backs usually cover
their jerseys and trousers with
powdered resin, and have a pouch
of 1t somewhere on their clothes.
Others use few drops Of balsam,
a sticky substance that gives them
complete confidence in holding the
ball no matter how slippery it be-
comes. And all teams have diff
ferent shoes for wet fields than for
dry ones. Usually one long cleat
is worn under the ball of the foot
on wet days, instead Of the Ave
small ones that suffice for dry
