MINERS LOSE
TO MOOSE IN
SUNDAY GAME
Paps Stage Suggest and
Score Runs in Six In
nings to Win 1911

The Moose ball players brought
their big sticks down to the ball
park yesterday afternoon for the
game against the Alaska Juneau
outfit, and when the dust of the
battle had cleared away they
were on the long end of a 10 to l
score, in the most one-sided game
of the season.
Errors, singles, two and three
base hits, double plays, almost
everything the fans can hope to
see at ball game, were presented
by the players of each side, and
one good solid home run was
made by Jack Kearny, who holds
the third sack for the Paps.
Sixteen hits were put in the
score book in favor of the Moose,
while thirteen members of the
team managed to reach first base
by the errors of the Miners.
Only in the second inning did
the A. j. bunch score, and that
was the result of one error by the
Moose, and two hits by the bat
tiers from the mine. The Moose
scored one run in the first, two
iii the third, five in the fourth,
two in the sixth, seven in the
seventh and two in the eighth,
and in the second inning only did
they fail to get a hit.
Moose Take Lead
In the first inning the Moose
scored once on two doubles. The
Miners came back in the second
when Brodie dropped HabenicEt's
fly into left field and Bentley
brought the runner in from third
after Habenicht had been advanc-
ed at Hollmann's expense when
the latter was out at first base.
The rest of the contest was a
slaughter as far as baseball was
concerned, for it was a mass of
hits by the Moose and errors by
the Alaska Juneau.
Two hits, two errors and a
fielder's choice gave the Paps two
in the third. In the fifth single,
a double, a triple, two fielder's
choices, base on balls and three
errors allowed five markers. The
two in the sixth came when an
error let F. Schmitz on first and
Kearny drove him in with a hom-
er into deep center field.
The swatfest came in the sew.
enth. Twelve men faced Robert
son in this frame and the runs
were scored on fourt hits, a field
er's choice and four errors, all of
which came after two men were
called away on infield plays to
first base. Two errors and Wales
triple in the eighth boosted the
total score up to 10. Big Mac
pitched the last inning for the
Miners, while Watts came in to
receive, and Robertson took
Watts place at short.

SMITHS RECORD AssAILED

Syracuse, Sept. 30, (R....Smith's s record as State executive. was as- sailed at the second days session of the State Republican Conven- tion, by it's permanent chairman. Assistant Secretary of War F. Tru- bee Davison. He said, the road to Washington is one lover which Tammany shall not pass"
 "The democratic party would ap- peal with empty gestures for tell ing us that if he takes an oath to uphold the constitution and law whatever his personal beliefs. may be he will see that they enforce it, but it is well to remember that he took such oath four times as gov ernor of New York and the whole world knows how little he has been inclined to aid federal en- forcement in New York. If it is any standard by which to judge what will happens in Washington, the national enforcement will be a travesty."

MONDAY
SMITH AT MILWAUKEE TALKS ON PROHIBITION
 GIVEN BIG OVATION

Milwaukee. Sept. 30, R).- Cheer ed as he leveled an attack on pro- hibition. Gov. Al Smith, democra- tic presidential nominee, last night called for sane and honest handling of the problem and advo- cates the sale of liquor under re- strictions in States where the plan meets the approval of majority of voters. Outlining his program in this city once known the world around as brewing center. the presidential nominee emphasized that the plan he sponsors could protect "all the rights of Dry State 10 the last demand" and threw around them safeguards of the Eighteenth Amendment and the involved law and the Dry States should be reasonable about it."
 Smith told the crowd which had packed the big auditorium here and his vast radio listeners, "that they should not listen to Smith in what is not in accord with their opinion. What would the dry States of the country say if the wet States proposed an amend ment to the constitution prohibit ing them from passing any dry law"
 Following along the lines of his acceptance speech in proposing remedy for prohibition, except that he made no reference to the Canadian system dealing with the liquor problem. Smith reiterated that he was opposed to the return despised by the American people, and stirred ronsing round cheers when he promised if elected to enforce the laws of the country. and was greeted with another noisy tumoilt when he said that as President he would regard it his duty to recommend to congress both modification of the Volstead law and prohibition amendment. Laughter and applause greeted the nominee as he remarked that in 1920. twenty million Americans were deprived of hard liquor and should be banished from the coun- try "by an amendment to the con stitution making it a law" He added this is not question of liquor or no liquor, prohibition or anti-prohibtion. the question be- fore the American people today, is what is the best thing to do about it in the interest of the country"

REACTION FOLLOWS
 GOVERNMENT NOT
NOTE

Washington, Sept. 29, (P).... Blunt reaction has followed the note to London and Paris concerning the Franco British naval agreement, according to an announcement made public by the State Depart ment. The announcement says: "The government of the United States feels that no useful pur- pose would be served by accepting the Franco-British proposal as a basis of discussion. America has no objection to any agreement be- tween France and Great Britain which those countries think will be to their advantage and in the interest of the limitation of arma- ments. but naturally cannot con- sent that such an agreement should be applied to the United States"
 Specifically. the American ob- jection is based upon the conten- tion that it would restrict only types of ships particularly suited to the needs of the United States" It would also leave unlimited con- struction of ships of the greatest value to any nation having widely distributed fueling bases or great merchant marine tom. ge.
