BALTIMORE, Md, May % OP).-
THE Maryland Legislature has re-

State" Gov. Albert c. Ritchie said
last night, commenting on the action
Of President Coolidge in authorizing
appointment Of State local officers as
Federal enforcement agents. This
means it has declined to clothe Mary
land local officers with the duty OF
enforcing the Eolstead act.
The effect of the Coolidge order.
If carried out. would be to place this
duty upon them.
This is a clear attempt of the Fed

local officers"

The constitution provides that such

that, helped matters. With sub
stantial lead several substitutions
were made. st. David showed flashes
of good team work and threatened
heavily in the third quarter as they
had twice as many shots as the home
, team.
The Douglas team did not play as
snappy ball as they displayed against
Phoenix on Thursday night, but the
opposition was not so keen and they
Were content to win. Cary continued
ito put up a stellar game as back
guard. Magma, rratt, Herbert and
Joyce all played we'll during the time
they were in the game.
The Douglas girls broke the "jinx"
that has been following them in the
last few games and demonstrated
that they could turn the tables to
win, 33 to 90 At no time were they
In serious danger of losing. Frances
Bennett and Isabel Brogan played in
the forward positions and did very
we'll. Lola Cummings and Genevieve
Hush worked in the center court
with Eloisa Rokahr and Winona Bry
an at the guard positions. The home
team showed very, good team work
q
at times and took the ball from one
end Of the court to the other by daz-
.zling passes. The ST David girls
defeated Douglas about a month ago
but the Improvement in the team was
very noticeable.
Next week the home season closes
with games on Friday and Saturday
nights, the Benson teams playing
here on Friday and the Nogales teams
on Saturday,
Benson has strong teams having
defeated Nogales this season with
both teams. Douglas split even at
Nogales one week ago and will en-
deavor to win a double bill when
they ltangle Saturday night.
A fair sized crowd attended the
game. H. B. Warren and Charles w.
