''RUBE" POPULAR
WITH TEAMMATES

Phil Silesky, Pine City merchant,
and Alfred Walberg, farmer in Roy
alton township, and a brother of the
great scuthpaw Pitcher, "Rube" Wal
berg, returned home yesterday from
Philadelphia after seeing all of the
five Worlds series baseball games,
the two at Chicago and the three in
many interesting stories to tell from
the games and from their visit with
'Rube" and his family at their Phil
adelphia home Chester Walberg, an
other brother of "Rube," who is en-
plOyed on the fire department i'm The
city of Minneapolis, saw the two
games played at Chicago.
''Rube' is Popular.
Mr.. Silesky reports that "Rube" is
very popular with his Athletic team
mates. After the final game "Rube,"
Miller, FOxX, Silesky and Alfred Wal
berg left the grounds together, but
had hard time getting away from
the crowd that was overwhelming
them. They went to a nearby garage
to get "Rubes" car and could hardly
get it out of the garage on account
of the crowd, the fans insisting IN
shaking hands with the players, get
ting their signatures on cards, scraps
of paper or anything they could get
hold of. "Rube," always obliging and
friendly, wrote his signature so many
times that day that his fingers were
almost cramped by evening.
Gets Good Purse.
AS a result of the Athletics winning
the Worlds series Walberg will share
with his teammates in the big finan-
cial dizzy which will be approx
mately $4,000 to each player. The
Cubs, the losers, will get about 81 1000
each.
While in Philadelphia. Silesky, AL
fred Walberg, and the big southpaw
enjoyed little outing to New York
to see the sights of Broadway.
To Sell Stocks and Bonds.
The Walbergs have rented home
in Philadelphia and expect to stay
there this winter. They have two
children, boy years old and a girl
3 years old. "Rube" will busy himself
until training time in the spring, by
selling stocks and bonds in the Quaker
city. The family may come to Pine
county for visit of a month or two
this winter, but that has not yet been
definitely decided
What Experts Say.
Ty Cobb says: "Walberg was one
of the great heroes of this last game,
for he relieved Ehmke in the fourth
inning and held the Cubs absolutely
helpless, giving them only two hits

far as series record are concerned,
this is a record. He was credited
with winning the game.
In Saturdays game he played the
role of relief pitcher one inning going

Is Pine County Product.
AS was stated before in the col
umns of this newspaper, 'Rube" Wal
berg was born in Pine county near the
Greeley postoffice approximately 5
miles west of Rock Creek and 10 miles
southwest of Pine City on July 81,
1897. He spent his boyhood in his
baseball teams there. Six years ago
he commenced playing in fast pro-
fessional baseball when he joined the
Portland, Ore, team of the Pacific
Coast league. He remained with the
Portland team one year and then was
purchased by the New York Giants
where he was given try-out the fol
lowing season. He was later sold to
the Philadelphia Athletics of the
American league who farmed him out
to the Brewers" of Milwaukee, in the
American Association for one season.
He attained the cognomen of strike
out King" during the year he was
with the Brewers
Walberg has been with the Ath-
letics, under the management of Con-
ME Mack for the past four seasons
and came in for his share of the
Worlds series receipts in 1928 by
virtue of being a member of the Sec
ond place team.
Visits Old Homestead.
During the past few years after the
baseball season is finished, Walberg,
with his family, comes to the scene
of his childhood in Pine county
The old homestead where he was
born is occupied by senior brother,
while his widowed mother, Mrs. And
rev jAmrin, lives nearby in another
cottage. These two places have been
the winter quarters of the Walbergs
during the last three or four winters.
Friends are Interested.
"Rube" Walberg has many friends
in this section of the country who re
member him from his younger days
and among them are Phil Silesky OF

ened by the agitation produced by the
Jones law, and that the imprisonment
of casual offenders will provoke much
resentment. The prohibition issue in
the last campaign was confused by the
presence of other issues and by the
usual party traditions.
Many Republicans have written to
Washington stating emphatically that
their votes for Hoover should not be
construed as an Endorsement OF his
views on the eighteenth amendment.
In congressional election, the party
in power usually suffers some losses.
and if the prohibition issue should be
embraced by Democratic candidates in
some of the Northern States there may
be some changes in the next Congress.
The real contest, however. will come
in the primaries, because there are Re-
publican members of Congress who are
wet and who will have opposition from
drys. The fact that both parties have
vets and drys in their own ranks and
that the last campaign has not clearly
classified the vets and drys as in OPP
posite parties, will make difficult the
ascertainment Of what public sentiment
really desires in the way of change, If
anything.
Expectation, however, is growing that
in the next congressional primaries and
elections prohibition will be almost the

candidates to urge modification of the
Volstead act itself, contending that
Congress could, II 1t chose, define alco-
holic beverages with larger content
of alcohol. The Supreme Court of the
United States has said that one-half of
/ per cent was within the meaning of
the amendment and that Congress was
within its rights in making that def
milton, but there is no way of knowing
what the Supreme Court would say if
Congress undertook to raise the alco-
holic content to anything like the pro-
portions desired by those who want a
return to pre-war beer or wines.
Seek Amendment Change.
The drys have commended that the
logical antithesis Of their position is to
be found IN the declaration by former
Senator Wadsworth of New York, who
offered a substitute for the eighteenth
amendment whereby the liquor traffic
would be controlled. In other words,
they hold that the question goes prop
erly TO a change in the eighteenth
amendment itself, and not to a change
in the Volstead act or the Jones law,
which undertake to enforce the eight

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


Although the eighteenth amendment
has been a part of the Constitution for
nearly a decade. the actual language of
lated into Federal law until the Jones
amendment to the Volstead act was
passed by the last Congress.
Every part of the Constitution requires
an act of Congress to put 1t into force,
and the Volstead act was intended to
execute the eighteenth amendment; yet.
while the Volstead act covered great
deal of ground and defined alcoholic
beverages, there was no provision In
which the language of the eighteenth
amendment itself was included. Many
constitutional lawyers have criticized the
eighteenth amendment on the ground
that it was a piece of legislation itself.
and contended that the trainers should
have confined themselves to grant OF
power to Congress. The Jones law re-
peats almost exactly the language OF the
eighteenth amendment, and by prohibits
ing the manufacture. sale. transporta-
ton. distribution, importation or ex-
portation of alcoholic beverages 1t makes
the yiolator of the Jones law directly the
breaker Of the Constitution OF the
United States itself.
The tactical value Of the Jones law
has generally been overlooked, as pub
lie attention has been focused on the
fact that now for the first time jail
sentences of from one to five years
may be imposed on those who violate
the prohibition laws. Up to now there
has been agitation in some States for
the modification of the VolStead act.
while dry leaders have argued that to be
consistent those who are wet should
really declare for the repeal of the
b eighteenth amendment itself. With the
exception of the definition in the Vol
stead act to the effect that beverages OF
not more than one-half of l per cent
alcoholic content may be manufactured
and sold. the Volstead act itself could
be repealed, and If the Jones law were
retained, the enforcement of prohibition
would still be possible on an extensive
scale.
Provided No Penalties.
The various States of the Union, how
ever, may be slow to add the counter
part Of the Jones law to their own
statutes. Nearly all of them patterned
their State enforcement acts after the
Volstead law. The eighteenth amend
ment, of course, stated what was pro-
hibited, but provided no penalties. The
Jones law. at last, carries out the spirit
and intent of the eighteenth amend
ment to the Constitution. 1t ties the
violators of the law up direcly to an
attack on the Constitution; and If by
! chance a Federal judge may some day
declare that the purchase of liquor is
part of the sale, the whole transaction
may be construed as coming within the
Jones law
1t is too early to foresee the effect
of rigid enforcement but there is no
doubt that the agitation of the last few
years is coming to a climax. If the law
is as unpopular as some of the vets
claim it to be, the issue will surely come
in the next congressional election. when
candidates for Office may come out
frankly for the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and the Jones law.
It always has been possible for wet

paramount issue and that in those dis
tricts which have been in the habit Of
renominating drys or vets without OPP
position, as the case may be, there will
arise opponents ready to take the other
side of the question.
