 The Muskegou County Prescott ter disregarded the habitual criminal provision in filing in formation against Alec Zach and for his fourth offense he went to prison for only year.
 Legislators, many of whom vot- ed for the law, now want it changed, declaring they did not realize it applied to liquor viola tions when it was considered.
 The State Anti-Saloon League is the staunchest champion of the code.
 Amending the code is bother ing lawmakers. The Governor desires to classify the crimes that are punishable with life terms. or exempt such offenses as liquor hat Hing and alimony lodging.
 The section under considera- tion reads:

 The code is retroactive; life for a fourth offense even though the other three crimes were commit ted before the law was enacted.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 19.- A criminal code, 80 stern in its penalties for habitual offenders that a grandmother faces life imprisonment for a liquor sale, has focused national attention on the 1929 session of the State Legislature.
 The State lawmakers have been importuned to soften the feature which provides for life term for a fourth violation of the pro hibition laws.
 Gov. Fred W. Green and other State officials have advocated re- moving some of the harshness from the law. The Anti-Saloon League retorted that liquor law violators are no better than other criminals; that they should be

sthe bat rather than IN the pltcn-
er's box.
But the first week of the season
has revealed not only a tremendous
batting punch in the Cubs lineup,
with Rogers Hornsby acting as the
Big Bertha" but a surprising and
unsupported strength on the pitch
ing mound as well.
Facing the st. Louis Cardinals at
Chicago yesterday. the Cubs played
bang-up ball behind Pat Malone'S
great pitching and won, 8 to 0, for
their fourth victory in five starts.
Holding the smuggling Cardinals to
five hits for his second victory OF
the season, Malone stretched the
Cub pitchers scoreless inning streak
to 26.
"Old Pete" Alexander puzzled the
Cubs until the fourth when Horns
by connected for a home run with
the bases empty. After that they
pecked away at the veteran with
enough effectiveness to score single
runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
After holding Cincinnati scoreless
for six innings, Carmen Hill, be-
specialized star Of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, blew up with a lour report
in the seventh and the Reds scored
six runs before Kremer could halt
the carnage. The Reds added three
more in the eighth to bring the final
score to "a.
In the American league, George
Uhle pitched Detroit to a l to 0
shutuot over the ST. Louis Browns,
but he had some help from his rival,
Jack Ogden. Jacks balk in the first
inning coupled with two singles al
lowed the Tigers to score the only
run Of the game.
In the only other major league
game Of the day, Al Thomas gave
the Cleveland Indians nothing they
could hit and the Chicago White
Sox galloped away with a 10 to 0 de-
cision. Thomas was touched for
seven hits but he scattered them in
such fashion that the Indians never
got around to scoring a run.

FAMOUS JOCKEY
MAY NOT RIDE
Earl Sande May Be Kept
From Saddle BY Ruling
Of Race Heads

NEW YORK, April 23.-tP@-Earl
Sande, owner, trainer and jockey,
may not be seen in the saddle on
tracks of the New York racing cir
cult this season which opens today.
A rule of the Ney York Jockey
club prevents a jockey from having
any interest in horses he rides. The
same condition existed in Maryland,
but the racing governors rescinded
a rule and Sande went out and won
his opening ace with his three
year-old Hermitage, candidate for
the preakness and the Kentucky
derby.
Sande has not yet made any ap-
plication for a jockey license in New
York but viii probably do SO at the
completion of the Maryland season.
There is little chance the jockey
club will amend its rules.

but he was forced TO his limit to:
cop it. He had to call into play
all of his cunning, weaving and stiff
punching tactics to get the call over
Apara.
Both were in the pink Of condi-
ton and did not slack from their
whirlwind opening round until the
final gong had sounded. Apara was
the aggressor throughout the first
rounds, attempting to corner the
Mexico City flash in a corner. He
did this several times but was I'M
able to do any damage to the weav-
ing, ducking fighter. They were
swapping resounding blows that
shook the timbers in the back of
the house and the fans added their
roar Of approval that could be
heard plainly over the business dis
trict OF Brownsville.
The two battlers we're in excellent
condition and both were smart, hard
hitters. They were well matched.
Apara kept boring in with the shifty
Garcia dancing away from him.
Carlos would assail Apara at fire.
quent intervals sinking a left deep
into his stomach. This he would
follow up with a right to the head.
Apara packed real damage in his
right duke and Garcia kept a wary
eye on it. The Filipino did most
of his damage in the clinches when
he pounded Garcia's kidneys IN
m%ercifully. Carlos won his decision
on the many singing let's that he
threw into the Filipino.
In the fifth round they we're still
moving fast. Garcia smacked his
opponent across the left eye and
opened the optic. From that point
on the Mexico City boy became
more and more aggressive. He be-
gan coming into Apara with every
thing he had whereas, in the open
ing rounds he had been wary.
In the ninth round Carlos pour
ed in everything. He cornered the
Filipino and did his best to drop
him with q fast succession Of rights
and let's but Apara was too tough
to be doWned, even though he
appeared groggy. He came out OF
the corner fighting. The crowd
was frantically calling on Garcia
to finish his opponent.
Carlos stood off in the last
round. evidently afraid Of Apara's
singing right. Several lively fur
ries occurred in the last stanza that
again had the crowd upon its toes
calling on Garcia for a knockout.
When Sgt. Davenport raised
Garcia's hand in victory, the fans
cheered their approval. Old timers
at the ringside declared this was
the best battle they had witnessed
in the Valley. Either Of the par
Elephants would have beaten Johnny
Hughes, it was said, and they were
well matched. Consequently fans
were given a rare treat IN seeing
