Cheer up, you long faced-boxing
fans. 1t looks as though we were
going TO get some high powered
lobbying at our backs after all.
Horse racing and boxing are illeg-
al in Texas, being banned by the
same law. Up until recently the
law preventing boxing was not en-
forced. The law against horse rae
ing was, and very strictly so. Sud
denly someone clamped down on
the screws and Gov. Dan Moody be-
gan sending Rangers out to stop
prize fights. There are no prize
fights in Texas now but
The famous three DIS Stable OF
the Waggoners at Fort Worth has
been made into one OF the most
up-to-date and complete racing
downs in the country. 1t cost IN
the neighborhood Of $1,000. 900. IN
less the Waggoners had a pretty
strong idea they could bring back
racing in Texas. they wouls not
have sunk this fortune IN a blind
alley. We hav> begun to notice
propaganda slipping into the papers
designed to bring back horse rae
ing. Here's a heading in this MORN

MELLON ORDERED
TO EXPLAIN FUNDS
Senate Votes Resolution for Ac-
counting of Money for Dry
Enforcement.

BY the Associated Press.
On the eve of the formulation of ap-
preparation bills to be passed at the
regular session, the Senate yesterday
adopted a resolution calling upon Secre-
tary Mellon to tell how an additional
fund of $1,719,634 authorized last
Spring for prohibition enforcement has
been allotted by the Treasury Depart
ment.
offered by Senator Harris, Demo-
crat. Georgia, a dry, the resolution
asked information about the sums al
located to each administrative district,
the number of additional agents en-
ployed, and statement of the enforce
ment work accomplished.
The appropriation, which Congress
debated for weeks, was compromise
growing out of proposal inserted in
the first deficiency appropriation bill OF
the short session.
After DR.. James M. Doran, prohibi-
ton commissioner, had said that
$3.50, 900 900 would be needed thorough
ly to enforce the Volstead act, Senator
Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, who has
retired from the Senate, incorporated
that amount in an amendment to the
bill, and it slipped by almost unnoticed.
AS soon as 1t was discovered, ad-
ministration leaders began attempts 10
cut the amount down and a compro-
mise finally effected between the House
and Senate after Harris, who had
amended the Bruce proposal by reduc-
ing it TO S24,000,00O. had agreed to the
slash. Appropriations for prohibition
enforcement will be included in the
bills to be brought before the next
session,

CHURCH OFFICERS
IN TEXTILE TANGLE
Workers Charge Dismissal Or
dered Because They Joined
Union.

BY the Associated Press.
MARION, N. c., November g.
Charges and counter charges few thick
and fast today between IL textile union
members dismissed from the East Marion
Missionary Baptist Church and church
officers who brought about their dis
misSal
Oficers of the local chapter of the
United Textile Workers of America, a
textile union afiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, charged the
letters of dismissal were given the union
members solely because they had joined
the union. A. r. Black, clerk of the
church. replied that union membership
had nothing to do with the dismisSalS,
and that there were charges enough
against those given the letters for more
severe disciplinary measures.
John Peele, vice president Of the
North Carolina Federation of Labor, de-
clared the union memberships were sole
ly responsible for the dismiSsals and
termed them IAN outrage"
Black would not elaborate upon the
"other charges" he said had been made
against those dismissed, but Adam Hunt
a church member, said he considered
charges of assault, rioting and rebellion
against the State which have been
lodged against the IL in connection
with textile strike disturbances here
sufficient cause for their dismissal.
Hunt is superintendent of the Marion
Manufacturing Co.'S mill at which the
union called strike last July.
The letters given the IL will not pre-
vent their affiliation with other churches
of the denomination. Black pointed out
the church could have dismissed them
without letters, which would have pre-
vented any other congregation from re-
ceiving them into membership. He said
the majority Of those dismissed, who
had been living in mill-owned houses
and possessed nuo real property here,
planned to move away.

LOCALS FACE CHANCE TO
 CAPTURE LEAGUE TITLE
New Britain Roller Hockey Team Clashes With Albany in Eighth Game of Series - Victory on Monday Night Gave Hardware City Quintet Four to Three Edge in Games Won - Fierce Battle Expected Game May be Played Here Thursday.

New Britain faces the opportunity of annexing the championship of the American Roller Hockey league to- night when the Hardware City crew battles Albany in the eighth game of the playoff series. New Britain. by taking three straight from the New York team. wiped out a two- game lead garnered by Albany in the first few games of the series. and went into the lead in contests won by the score of to 3.
 Through it's brilliant play. the New Britain team has become the favorite in the betting for the series. The team faces a difficult task to- night in beating Albany on its home floor. The Albany rink is extraor- dinarily large and this gives the New Workers an opportunity to do more floor work than Is usual on . smaller sized playing surface.
 The same two lineups will face each other in the battle tonight. This is expected to be one of the fiercest encounters of the playoff and according to the dope from the New York state capital. a record crowd will be on hand to watch the teams in battle. Roller polo fans in Albany have gone wild over tho game and each battle between the two finds an excellent crowd in att tendance.
 Albany will be led tonight by Steve Pierce. rated by many as the greatest player in the game today. New Britain will be explained by Kid Williams, considered even bet ter than Steve Pierce. Each cap- tain will have his brother for his running mate. Earl Pierce will be on the rush line for Albany while Red" Williams. the Henry. H.. fire man, will pair up with Kid" on the firing line for New Britain. Lunderville, one Of the speediest centers in the game today. will be at the pivotal post for Albany. while Molly" Morrison. outstanding de- fensive star Of the series. will play halfback. Barnikow. who. though in his first year as a major leaguer, is rated among the best goallies in the league. will guard the Albany nets.
 Harry tCowboy) Thompson, will play center for New Britain. Thompson has earned the right to the claim Of being the best center in the league through his play all season and especially in the present series. Pete Gazzinga will play half- back. with Pete Welch in the goal. In case that Albany should win tonights game. the two teams will most probably return to this city Thursday night for the final and de. ciding game of the series Definite information will be given out on thi, | by Manager Frank McDonoueh Thursday morning, provided, of course. that New Britain loses to- night.

HUGGINS SHOULD WORRY
Manager of Yankees Sees His Team Winning Almost All of its E<hi- bitiOn Games.

St. Petersburg. Fla. March 20.- F)-1f Miller Huggins is supersti- tious he ought to be doing a lot of worrying because his New York Yankees are winning so many exhi- bltlon games.
 Last season, it may be recalled. the Yankees were recipient of one beating after another during the spring training season, espccial fly when they played the Boston Braves. During the regular season. however. the Yankees were victori- ous so often they won the American
 Ague pennant while the Braves finished next to last in the National league.
 This year the situation is re- versed: the Tanks are winning their exhibition games and yesterday they beat the Braves for the third time in four games. Huggins only hopes his champions don't emulate the Braves during the 1929 ampaign.
