New York. April 2l.--tR-One of
the most amazing records in the his
tory Of professional basketball has
been carried unchecked through its
eighth successive season by the New
York Celtics.
With the recent winning Of the
last half honers in the American
league as the climax to a 36-game
winning streak. this basket-tossing
machine ran its total for the 1926
1927 campaign to u triumphs in &c
games, and its eight.year mark to
TIA victories out of 795 starts.
In the claim to world supremacy
they have made for the last five
years, the Celtics point to the fact
that 90 per cent Of their battles
have been fought as travelling
team. An average of more than TO-.
900 miles 4 season has been covered
by the club in its journeys through
the East and Middle West.

NO SHADOW B0XING
CONTINUED from Page 3

AS matter of fact, prohibition is still
on trial in the minds of very large sec
ton of the people, doubtless holding the
balance of power between the never-quit
drys and the never-die VETS
Failing courage among some of its
faint-hearted supporters is the thing the
Anti Saloon League and allied dry organ
izations fear more than anything else. If
these timid ones become convinced that
during this time of trial for their project
it has lost its power, they will shrink tim
idly into the background.
But the wet organs, with this sudden
and vituperative ebu1lition of attacks on
the League as a Super government
which dictates to congressman and cabi-
net officers and even to the president of
the United States, certainly are doing all
in their power to brace up their waning
courage.
The danger to the League is that it will
take this propaganda too seriously, itself,
as in the case of certain Statements" of
a few weesk ago, to which reference was
had in this column, and begins to believe
it is super government" and to behave
like one.

of tourists are passing right through

blamed.
Montmarte, the center of Partisan

There are few style shows going on in

Bar Harbor, Me, July 7-Society is

At the swimming club, liquor is ia
boo anywhere on the premises, and IN
stead of its being the smart thing to do,
carrying hip flask is looked upon as a
vugarity. In other words, it simply isn't

A Visit to Liquor Land
Inasmuch as I have been spending sew
eral weeks in Canada and England, I
thought it might be interesting if I sent
a brief account of the liquor traffic in
lands where its ancient reign has never
been disturbed.
My first experience was at the City of
Montreal, Quebec, this June. During the
first two hours | saw more drunkenness
within two blocks of my hotel than had
seen in Chicago in eight years. The ho-
tel where | stayed had bar, as all hotels
had, and l had good opportunity of
seeing all the benefits of government
control and of Eight wines and beer"
My first sight was of twenty-four men
and three women drinking in a wine sa-
loon, no whisky. Three of the men were
drunk and several more had reached as
far as the halfway house. I would guess
that not one of them was over IS years
OF age. Passing out into the street | no
ticed a well-dressed elderly man with
we'll dressed young woman on his arm,
staggering across the street, both drunk.

five of whom were women. At a corner
beyond | noticed a we'll dressed young
man lying across a vacant news stand on
one side OF him lay his hat and on the
other side his meerschaum pipe. Ten
