WAY
FOR EARLY !.
ACTION
Ry KENNETH CLARK

i
Remedial narcotic legisla tion recon-
mended by President Hoover's law
enforcement commission will be
enacted speedily by Congress.
Capitol leaders gave this assur.
ance today in announcing approval
OF Mr. Hoover's plans to have the
commission conduct thorough sur
vey of the drug problem.
Blocked in House
During the last session, the Sen.
ate unanimously adopted a resolu-
ton calling for a congressional
narcotics inquiry. The proposal was
blocked in the House. While 1t had
been planned to seek action again
in the special session, starting
April Is. this proposal will be held
in allegiance pending the outcome
of the Presidents investigation. The
commission plans to cover the same
purposes outlined in the Congress
sional resolution.
That more drastic legislation is
essential TO fortify the Government
in smas shing the dope rings is con-
ceded In every responsible quarter
here. Mr.. Hoover was fully aware
of this when he decided to include
narcotics as one of the questions TO
be investigated by the fact-fi;iding
commission.
Program Formulated
Following a careful canvass, the
Narcotic Rehabilitation Association
has formulated a legislative program
designed to cope with the general
provlem. 1t will be presented to
the commission.
"The problem falls into three
general divisions viewing the qu@s-
ton from a purely domestic stand-
point" said the association. First.
the revision of present regulations
to fortfy more effectively against
the illicit drug traffic. Second. the
revision of present regulations to
check the illegal trafficking in
drugs acquired Though legal chan.
nels. Third the establishment Of
adequate facilities for the recgama-
ton. or disqualification and cure of
those afflicted.
Suggest Reforms
Under the. first two phases cf
the problem dealing with Illegal traf-
fic in drugs, our observation and
study leads is to. suggest several
avenues of reform that would re-
act. we believe, 10 more Elective
control. They are noted generally
as follows:
"A program for more effective in
ternational cooperation, between po-
lice in exchange Of information as
to opera tions of drug rings: the es-
tablishment of an intelligence unit
in foreign countries to prevent the
expectation of drugs to the United
States: Tncrease in the number of

NWNIE BUSH, new manager of
W the White Sox, went up to
Chicago a few days ago and DEM
onstrated to the populace he knows
something about knocking down the
ten pins. Ray Schalk, alley owner,
staged baseball bowling tourney
in which many big league and
minor league pastimers entered. 1t
was singles event and Bush
topped 'em all with a count of ga
to annex first prize.
q q
White Sox baseball r0Oters and
other Chicago sports were on hand
to see the diamond notables per-
form and the Sox supporters thrust
out their chests when Ownie easily
trimmed several Chicago Cub play
ers on the alleys.
THE noisy Art shires, sox first
Il sacker, sought added fame in
the event, but the pace set by his
new baseball manager left Arthur
the Great" way out on limb. It
was the first meeting Of Bush and
Shires and everything appeared
lovely between them with the ex-
ception Shires didn't belong on the
same alleys with the Hoosier pro-
duct.
Some of the other major leaguers
competing in the Schalk classic
were Oscar MelliIo, Freddie Lind
strom, Tony Kaufman, Doug Nc
Weeny, Guy Bush, Hal Carlson,
Gabby Hartnett and Bob O'FarreIl.
A number of class AA players also
rolled.
Jimmy Hamilton, Canton Central

purchased controlling interest in the
Mobile Southern Association club
and will be president and manager.
Hamilton was in the Dixie loop be-
fore as field boss at Nashville. He
has some Mobile business men help

THE word is official that Clyde
i Milan will be manager of the
Birmingham Barons next season,
succeeding Johnny Dobbs, who
transfers to Atlanta. Birmingham

Expects Victory.
DRILL HELD IN SNOW
5000 Students Cheer Dur
ing Final 1929 Practice.

BIZ United Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 28-
The Notre Dame football team has
held its last practice session of 1929
and was ready when 1t left here to-
day noon for New York to face the
Army In the season final Saturday
Cheered on by the university band
playing the "Notre Dame Victory
March," the Irish went through
their final practice Wednesday dur
ing a heavy snowstorm. About 5000
students watched the Ralnblers run
signals and drill on methods of
stopping Chris eagle, the Army's
star back.
Talks by ROckne
Coach Knute Rockne, who was
unable to accompany the team east
because of a leg infection, which has
caused him much trouble for more
than month, has given the players
several talks this week and expects
them to finish the season unbeaten
and united.
When the shadows fall in Yankee
Stadium Saturday, seven of Notre
Danes varsity football team will
have completed their collegiate ca
reers. Six are from the line, regard
ed as one of the strongest in the
country. Three of the shock troops
also end their playing days.
Probably the greatest loss will be
that of the famous center trio
Captain Johnny Law, Big Tim
Moynihan and Jack Cannon. John
Colerick, and Ted Twomey, end and
tackle respectively, also graduate
making a clean sweep of the left
side of. the line. The pivot post will
sustain a double loss, as Joe Nash,
Moynihan's under study, also will
receive his sheepskin.
Last for Elder
Jack Elder Is the only back to
graduate, leaving Brill, Savoldi,
Mullins, Carideo, Gebert, Schwartz
and others to carry on next season.
With the exception of Moynihan,
the squad was in good physical con-
dition. The big center received a
broken ankle bone in the North
western game last Saturday. Thir-
ty-six men were included in the
squad making the trip.
The loss of Movnihan, candidate
for all-American center, may prove
costly Saturday, close followers OF
the team say. He has been an all
around star and ma!nstay all sea-
son.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28-Young Tuffy
Griffiths, who aspires to the heavy
weight title left vacant by Gene
Tunney, will get the biggest test he
has had SO far when he meets Pao-
limo Uzcudun, the Basque wood
chopper. here Friday night.
Coming into f1stic prominence lit
tie more than year ago, Tuffy
achieved success in the light heavy
weight ranks, then ate himself out
of that division and began fighting
heavyweights.
So far he hasn't met any really
great heavyweights, but he has
looked like a great fighter. In
something like dozen fights it has
taken him an average of only three
rounds to score a knockout.

Crifffiiths Gets Heavyweight
Chance With Basque Friday
Tuffy Meets First Real Test Against Paolino; Victory
Depends on Ability to Take Punches.

Grifiths' chances appear to rest
on whether he can stay way from
Paolino's body punishment. So far,
Tuffy never has had to take it, and
whether he can stand a beating Is
an uncertainty. Throughout his
light heavyweight and heavyweight
fighting, the tough one" has given
most of the punishment.
Paolino, on the other hand, is an
"old head" He has stopped Harry
Wills and Phil Scott and has fioored
Otto Won Porat, Johnny Risko, Tom
Heeney and several others.
The betting favors the Basque.
There are some odds of rs, but
most of the smart" money seems to
want to take 8-5, on Griffiths.
Many fans believe Tuffy's hard hit
ting will wear down Paolino. Both
men were to finish their training
