 President Unmovcd - Report of

 Liquor Question to Go to Con-
 gross.
 Washington, Dec, 3O CP)-Pronibi- ton. which has turned the Christ mas season of Washington into days of sizzling charges about the aG- minist ation of the dry laws. Eas apparently failed to disturb tine tra. ditional calm of the White House.
 Ears which were attuned to cX- pccted uttcranCeS by prcsid ant Hoover in reply, mainly to the cN- coriation Of presen. ynforccmrn; methods and personnel by Senator Borah, of Idaho, and the accom- panying or following narcups from wet or dry leaders, heard only that the first official move there in the controversy would come dft,r the house had approved Il resolution for l joint committee to study C0nSoli- dation of dry law enforcement agencies. Then the White House will transmit to it recommendation prepared by thc Inv enforcement commission.
 Temporary Luli Today
 With word that residcnt Hoover did not think that the present furore called for any White House acton or statement, a temporary full came today in the series Of statements from senators and mem oerS of executive departments.
 Representative Cochran, Of Mis- souri, a wet, did say that he intend ed to work for modification of the Nolstead act. but he shirted the TOW now continuing, and there was gen. cral silence on the emphatic state ment yesterday by Rear Admiral Billiard, commandant of the coast guard, that the coast guard means business" in it's WAT on liquor smuggling.
 The first official move of the White House in the controversy will come when the house of representa- tlNeS approves the resolution for tho JoInt committee recommended by President Hoover to consider con- ot enforcement activities
 The senate already has passed the resolution approving the appoint ment by members Of the committee from the senate.
 After the committee is named President Hoover will transmit 10 it the reports of the commission deal- ing primarily with reorganization of the prohibition enforcement meth ods; These reports, it was said, have been prepared and and merely awaiting the appointment of the committee.
 Cannot Be Solved Quickly
 It has been made clear at the White House that President Hoover considers the prohibition problem one that cannot be solved overnight. IL is also understood that he is viz ously opposing any effort to drama iiZe the speeding up of the solving or the enforcement problem.

SCHEUY FOR DELAY IN
 FILLING LlEUTENANCY
Would Post Honor as Re- ward for Capture of
 KeywOrkers

To give applicants for the police department lieutenancy an opportu- nity to learn their spurs" Coun- cilman William $. Schcuy today urged Mayor paonessa to ask that no appointment be made to fill the vacancy for another month.
 The councilman suggested the possibility that such a decision on the part of the police commission CTS might prompt the sergcants in tcrcsted in advancement to greater effort in rounding up workers and other law breakers who have managed to carry on their opera tons for the past few months with out detection.
 Making t plain that his proposal Is i'll no way a reflection on the police force and admitting the possibility that the sought after results might not be attained, the first warden eX- plained that no harm could come from postponemcnt whereas the added incentive to capture the law breakers might be of benefit to the department.
 House breaking in the last three months has been confined almost entirely to the district represented in the common council by Council man Scheuy. On a previous occa- sion he consulted with police au- thorities in an effort to increase pro- lection in his ward as means of combating the campaign of burg lars, but several breaks have been entered upon the police blotter since that move was attempted.
 Mayor Paonessa listened to Coun- ciman Scheuy's arguments at his office today and promised to take them under advisemcnt. In an off hand opinion, however. he said he could not see much likelihood of q successful drive against thieves at trbutable to this decision alone.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March o.
The bulk of the country's most
famous golfers today began medal
competition for one of the worlds
richest purses, having passed safely
through the qualifying round of the
La GORGE open tournament Thurs
day.
The original field Of ninety or
more players was cut down to
sixty-four by Thursdays thirty-six-
hole play. When the cards were all
in it was found that four dark
horses were tied for first place, Al
Watrous, Detroit; Ed Dudley, Los
Angeles; George Christ, Davenport,
Fla, and Frank Ball, Atlanta.
Watrous, perhaps, should not be
described as dark horse, but at
least few give him more than an
outside chance to triumph over, a
field such as is entered in this
$4,000 event.
The best score of the day was 142
strokes. The second best was 145,
scored by Neil Mcintyre, Indian
apolis, and Lighthouse Harry
Cooper, Buffalo.
Tommy Armour, Washington;
Billy Burke, Westport, N. Y, and
Tony Manero, New York, ranked
just under with 144, while five
linksmen, including the sensational
young Horton Smith of Joplin, Mo-,
required 145.'

AINTREE COURSE. LIVER
POOL, England, March 22.-Grega-
ZACH, a 100-to-1 shot, owned by a
woman, won the historic Grand Ma
tional today before a crowd of ap-
proximately half a million persons
who witnessed one of the greatest
races in the long history of the
stake.
j. H. Witney's Easter Hero, IA
vorite in the race, tired under his
heavy top weight of ITS pounds and
gave place to the winner half a
mile from home, robbing America
of a chance to win.
Of the sixty-six horses that start
ed, record field, only seven fin
iSfed... After Gregalach and Easter
Hero, they were, in order, Richmond
II, Mellerays Belle, May King, Ora
kle and D. D. B.
Fate reversed itself in dealing
with Easter Hero and that other
gallant American runner, Billy Bar
ton, owned by Howard Bruce Of
Baltimore. Last year it was Easter
Hero who fell at the Canal turn and
was eliminated while Billy Barton
went on to finish second to the
100-to-1 shot Tipperary Tim.
This year Billy Barton went down
at the Canal turn and Whitney's
horse went on to take second
honors.
Approaching the Canal turn, a
riderless horse bit Billy Barton in
the tanks, unseating Jockey Gull
inan and sending Billy down. Gull
imam, figuring he still had chance,
quickly romounted and chased the
leaders. He let Billy Barton have
his head ancI the stout horses re-
sponded ganely. The effort was
useless, however for Billy fell again
in a few minutes. Cullinan, realiz-
ing the futility of further effort ex-
amined Billy, found him uninjured
and started to walk hatless to the
paddock.

IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, March 22.-One OF
IN my enthusiastic admirers has
called my attention to the rather
singular fact that practically every
one of the man killing, human
savages, blood sweating gorillas, and
ferocious what-nots that James
Joseph Tunney battIed on his way
to the social register has either
retired from the hempen square, as
it is called down on the water front,
or is in the process of being forcibly
retired by humane societies.
The list includes Tom Gibbons,
Georges Carpenter, Signor Spalla,
BARLEY Madden, Jack Dempsey
and Tcm Heeney. none of whom.
is now actively engaged in the
noble profession. Johnny RiskO's
name might just as well be listed
too, because he has seen both his
best and worst days.
Il Il
MOST OF THESE GENTLEMEN HUNG
Up THE GLOVES FOR GOOD AFTER
TUNNEY GOT THROUGH WORKING ON
THEM, A CIRCUMSTANCE NOT EASILY
RECONCLED WITH THE POPULAR IN
PRESTON THAT THE GREAT INTEL
LECTUAL WAS NOT A DESTRUCTIVE
WORKER IN THE MILITANT LEATHER.
THE FACT SEEMS TO BE THAT WHEN
TUNNEY FINISHED WITH THEM THEY
STAYED FINISHED.
II
GIBBONS last fight was with
NJ Tunney. The st. Paul man
was knocked out. He never tried
again. Carpenters swan song was
again in the ring against Tunney.
He went from here to the music
halls of the continent.
Il
Dempsey fought twice after
meeting Tunney, but he was
never the man he had been.
True, he wasn't much of man
the night he fought Tunney the
first time, but he was still the
champion.

TO HIT AND HE WAS HIT BY EVERY
FIGHTER HE EVER FACED. MUG OR
MASTER. HE LIKES TO TELL YOU HE
WAS HURT LESS IN THE TWO TUN-
NEY FIGHTS THAN IN ANY OF HIS
OTHER FIGHTS. PERHAPS HE REALLY
BELIEVES THIS. BUT 1T ISN'T THE
TRUTH.
LIE took bruising, cruel beating
n l. both times and when he was
asked to fight third time he de-
clined. think the lasting memories
of those beatings more than any,
thing else kept him out of action
last year, and it wouldn't surprise
me if they keep him out from now
on, in spite of the half million or
so he could make by taking one
more casual fling at the game.
Il
THUS Tunney's record as an an
l. nihilator is complete. And it's
an interesting record when you con-
slider that he always shuddered at
any suggestion ascribing to his
technique the primitive quality OF
brutality.
For a boxer who prided himself
on his delicate subleties of action,
he was the most devastating force
the ring has known in years.
