RUM GANG BOMBS
z FEDERAL BOATS
Tennessee Incident Seen as
Renewal of War Against
Enforcement.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November IL
Two motor boats operated by Federal
prohibition enforcement agents in ex-
petitions against rum runners were
bombed and sunk in Wolf River Har-
Dor here early today. Four privately
owned boats, moored nearby, were dam
aged. Two charges of dynamite were
tossed from a passing motor boat which
escaped under cover of fog.
Government agents regard the
bombings as a gesture in renewed Of
warfare against prohibition law en-
3orcement."
Fins E. Wilson, prohibition admin
istrator for the Memphis district, i'm
mediately began preparations for In
tensified enforcement activities, and
said that now that they have started
q war they will get plenty OF it."
No One Seriously Hurt.
No one was aboard the boats sunk.
One of the other boats, a houseboat,
was occupied by Frank Busby and his
wife, but other than suffering from
shock neither was hurt.
One OF Tie pOdJS DOulDeQ was oU-
foot cruiser and the other a smaller
boat. Both were seized from rum run
ners. The smaller boat was sold last
week to a Memphis man. The other
still was under control of the Federal
enforcement unit.
The point where the bombingS oc-
cured-the foot of Monroe avenues
near the center of the harbor and al
most within stones throw Of the
Federal Building.
Dynamiting Is Months Ago.
Eighteen months ago one Govern
ment-owned boat and two which had
been confiScated were dynamited and
sunk within less than "a hours. Since
then there had been no outbreak Until
today.
Warning was received by the Fed
eral men last Winter that their boats
would be dynamited and heavy guards
were placed about the river front
wharves. The threatened violence did
not materialize and since then there
has been no recurrence of the threats.
Police and Government agents began
. search of the river, but with fog
hampering their operations failed to
find any trace of the bombers

CUBS AND YANKS
TO WIN
IN BIG LEAGUES
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 10. U.H -
Changes in the betting odds on the
major league pennant races have
made the Chicago Cubs and the New
York Yankees favorites to meet in
the world series.
When the season opened the Cubs
and the Giants were joint favorites
in the National League at II to j
The odds on the Cubs have been cut
to l3 to 10.
Even though the Giants are down
in seventh place, and the Cardinals
are tied with the CUBS for the Ma
tional League lead, better odds arc
available in st. Louis than either
Chicago or New York. The Cards
are quoted at 6 to |, to and
even. On their showing to date the
Cards appear quite rs formidable as
the Cubs or Giants and the long odds
! on the National League champions
are uneXplainablc unless betting
commissioners figure they can still
count the 1928 world series against
the Rcd Birds.
The poor showing of the Giants
has many McGraw fans worried but
the betting commissioners are afraid
to make the price too attractive on
New York, probably fearing the
Giants will stage another one of their
sensational finishes.
The Boston Braves have dropped
from 100 TO to % to ] but are not
getting much play because almost
everyone agrees that they are play
ing over their heads and can't last.
The Yankees remain odds on fav-
oritcs in the American League. They
arc quoted at Q to 10.
Tie Athletics are second choice
at Il to 10 and are getting good
play.

OF interest to commercial houses
of the city is an ordinance that
