Still Around.

A HUMAN splinter joined the old
N Cubs somewhere around 1904.
\ He weighed about ia pounds
That was IS years ago. He has had TO
fight the storms of IS years, but they
can't keep him away. Johnny Evers,
the Trojan, will still be one of the fea-
lures of the year, even though the
Braves are engaged in another desperate
battle for the cellar.
1t has been a long, long time since
F.P A., in behalf of the Giants, made
the following announcement:
These are the saddest of possible ,cOrdS-
Tinker to EUers to Chance:
Trio OF be1rcatS and feeter than birds,
Tinker and EUerS and Chance;
PrickinQ foreuer our gonfaton bubble,
Causing q Giant to hit into double,
Words that are heavy with nothing but
trouble,
Tinker to Epers to Chance"
This still remains one of base balls
classics. It told story no Giant fan
has ever forgotten. Chance is dead.
Tinker Is a prosperous oil man. Evers
alone remains in the game that made
him and the game he helped to make.
There have been rare characters in the
old game, but none quite as picturesque
as the Human Splinter from Troy. the
up war along an entire front. He was
all flame and time hasn't yet turned
him to anything like ashes.
Three of the Great.

and Johnny Evers. And it is noteworthy
that Evers is mentioned with the other
two when they out-batted him by 40
or SO points. and were possibly shade
better in defensive work. At least every
whit as good. But EverS was always
the big spark Of any game. Probably
the most alert ball player In action the
game has yet seen. He missed no point
he could use for victory.
Fairly Quick Action.

U.s.. TAKES STEP
To TIGHTEN
DRY LAW

A new move to obtain co-opera.
ton of State governments in en-
forcement of the prohibition law
was taken today by the Treasury
Department.
Deputy Prohibition Commissioners
All Oftedal announced all regional
administrators had been asked to
hold conferences with United States
attorneys and high State officials.
with a view to tightening up en-
forcement and to arrange division
of responsibility.
An effort is being made to have
the States take over definitely the
prosecution of the minor prohibit
ton offense. such as drives against
bootleggers, speakeasies, and night
clubs.
That would leave the Federal
Prohibition Bureau to function az
the Treasury intends-that Is, in
operations against big conspirators.
smugglers, and large sources of sup.
ply.
The conferences also will bring
about closer relations between the
Treasury and Justice Departments.
The latter is responsible for put.
ting cases through the courts after
they are made by the Prohibition
Bureau.
Officials said the Federal courts
are damned with dry cases, many
OF minor character. The new plan
of the Treasury should tend to
lessen the number Of cases in the
federal courts. bringing about more
prompt termination of cases, but,
probably. would increase the mum.
Der of prosecutions in the State and
municipal courts.
