Chicago, July 20 P)-If the Cuos should fail to win that National league pcnnant the Chicago fans probably will attribute their ill luck to the absence of Charles Leo (Gabby) Hartnett.
 Hartnett rated as the best catch CT in the National league last year, hasn't caught a game this year be- cause of bad throwing arm.
 While sitting on the bench, Gabby has been doing his best to help the Mccarthy club. His pinch hitting has been very effective, having saved several games.

sld Lyons, English lightweight boxer who recently came to this city tt llVe' made a decidedly inau- sp1clous rebut in the American ring last night in Hartford when he was knocked out in the second round of Vile feature bout at the state police boxing show held last night in Char ter Oak park.
 Mickey Flahive of Georgia was the fellow who put across the sleep producer and Lyons weak defense against him showed him to be hard ly better than preliminary fighter. Flahive sent two right crosses to the jaw in the first round and Lyons was all but out.
 In the second, Lyons went down three times before Referee Jack Watson counted him out.
 Joe Zottcr won a six round decl- sion from Ben Moseley of New York. This bout sparked with action from beginning to end. Nick Christy of Bristol knocked out Abe Rosenberg of New York in five rounds.

While the American steamship Alpha
was lying at anchor off the coast of
Venezuela its second assistant engineer
used a monkey wrench on Robert Cain,
sailor, who was late in coming on

IN the old day the assault would have
be n excused as necessary in preserving

sued the Alpha Steamship Co. and
others in New York City he obtained a
Judgment for $4,000 for the injuries
suffered.
The steamship. company protested
that 1t was not liable for indemnity for
injury sustained by a seaman resulting
from an assault of a superior officer
other than the master, committed in
anger because the seaman had been
derelict in his duty, and asked the high
est court to make ruling which would
be controlling upon all vessel owners in
the future. The court consented.

ception of the North Atlantic companies
and two companies operating Gulf of
Mexico lines-have agreed to the tenta-
tive program OF new construction. The
Leviathan may be substituted for one
OF the three ships required to be- fur
n'shed if the United States Lines should
be the successful bidder for the North
Atlantic fast mail contact.
Forty-three new or reconstructed YES
sells are called for under the replace
ment plan to be launched within eight
years of the award of the mail con-
tracts. On the North Atlantic route

bourg and Hamburg Line a weekly
service of seven and a half days each
way will be required, but until new
ships are available, the service may be

mated cost of $32, 900 900.

BY the Associated Press,

The Supreme Court yesterday con-
sented to pass on the authority OF the
Prohibition Bureau to place a time limit
on permits governing the use of LIQUOR
in the manufacture Of medicinal prepa-
rationS.
The question was raised in three cases
from New York
When the government In October
1927, attempted to put into effect regu-
lations governing the use of liquor in
the manufacture of medicinal prepare
lions and of alcohol in the manufacture
OF denatured alcohol, so as to make all
permits end on definite dates, and re-
quire renewals, the Galeno Chemical

EARLY SHOPPING,
AID TO MERCHANT
Association Secretary Holds Prac-
tice Will Greatly Reduce
Christmas Exchanges"

The volume of Christmas Tex
changes" in Washington stores should
be materially reduced this year. Edward
Shaw, secretary of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association said today.
The merchants believe that this sit
uation is direct result of the record
breaking movement which started late
in November to get Christmas shopping
well under way, or even completed, in
advance of the usual last-minute rush.
AS result, the shoppers are this year
giving more careful attention to the
selection of their gifts" said Mr.. Shaw.
Merchants recall that in previous
years the two or three days Immediately
following Christmas were to them al
most nightmare, as result of their
attempts to satisfy customers who
sought to exchange unsuitable gifts.
This is difficult task. as stocks by that
time have been depleted by the Christ
mas rush.
Merchants have welcomed the new
movement, which seems to have swept
the country this year. in behalf of early
season gift-buying. Many feel that it is
a direct result of the educational cam
paign which has been waged persist
emily by various Women'S organizations.
These groups for years have been ham
mering home the point that the shop
perS who makS their selections early in
the Christmas season get far better
result than those who wait until the last
minute, when the stores are crowded
and the stocks are depleted.
Retail merchants of Washington are
confident that because of this display of
good judgment on the part of their Gus
toners there will be fewer exchange re-
quests than in former years.
Those who are doing their holiday
shopping now are doing 1t carefully and
under the most favorable conditions.
Those Who later rush through the stores
to fill their Christmas lists will shop
careles =. 1t is this careless shopping
which causes the after Christmas ex-
changes"
