Hoover Beer Vew
Asked By CeHer

President Hoover was challenged
today to state his position on 2.75
per cent beer.
Representative Celler CD Of
New York cited a letter written by
Mr.. Hoover when he was food ad-
miniStrator, saying 1T is mighty
difficult to get drunk of 224 per
cent beer"
The prohibition hearings be-
fore the House Committee on the
Judiciary have demonstrated be-
yond peradventure of doubt the
widespread discomfort with pres
ent prohibition conditions" said
Celler.
"A change is due. Who should
know better than the President
what is best for the country?
Refused Beer Ban
"When Mr.. Hoover was food ad-
ministrator in 1918, he wrote a
letter to Senator Morris Sheppard
Of Texas, the author of the Eight
eenth Amendment, explaining his
refusal to stop beer brewing. On
the following day, June 5, 1918.
Mr.. Hoover issued a statement on
the same subject. in which. after
repeating the reasons given in the
letter, he said: 1T is mighty diff
cult to get drunk on 224 per cent
beer; it will be easy enough if we
force a substitution of distilled
drinks for it,
Then he added: The food ad-
miniStration has gone as far as it
can toward temperance without
precipitating a worse situation. If

WEBB SURE
7 D A | D
GR|FF5
BY BOB THAYER

Loepp, former Baltimore Oriole,
viii soon succeed Sam West as
regular centerfielder of the Griff-
men. Loepp's all.around qualities
and superior stick work have
promoted him from a mid-station
alternate to first-string considera-
tion.
West, admittedly one Of the
greatest OutfielderS i'm base
ball today, lacks consistency
at the bat.
Since Loepp not only connects
with all brands of pitching but
also possesses accuracy and long
stride afield, he can hardly be
overlooked.
Loepp is ideally qualified as q
lead-off man. A better hitter
than West, he also makes o closer
study of enemy pitchers and Is
we'll balanced in every respect.
Washington club players headed
by Shortstop Joe Cronin, are
confident that the acquisition Of
Outfielder Earl Webb from the
Cincinnati RedlegS will give them
their desired punch. Webb, who
was purchased for the waiver
price. formerly put in time with
the Chicago Cubs and New York
Giants.
A year ago the 29-year-old vet
eran, who swings from the left
side, batted 1856 with Los Angeles.
Of the Pacific Coast League. And
he hammered over more runs
than did Smead Jolley, White
Sox sensation.
"Webb will bat SEQ in any
league" CrOnin. q native
Californian, remarked today.
"He can break into the line
up stone colo and get himself
hit. He reminds me q lot
of Riggs Stephenson. He's not
SO fast in the OutfieId, but he
meets that ball q mile q minute.
And he doesn't care who's
throwing it."
AL Schacht, Garland Braxton
and Nick Altrock okayed this
claim. Apparently this Webb,
who is scheduled to perform as
utility man and pinch hitter, has
lots Of slugpower If nothing else.
AS was previously announced,
Webb's signing means that Red
Barnes will either be waived out
Of the big show and optioned to
Chattanooga or else disposed Of
for the regular $500 considera-
ton.
Catcher Roy Spencer will likely
be in tune when the Washington
club opens its long stay at Grit
fifth stadium next week.
The former holdout reported
yesterday and Immediately &C..
cepted the terms originally Of
fered by Clark Griffith. He
donned a Washington uniform
right away, and is to 60 into active
training at his own expense to-
day. It is thought that Spencer
who is badly needed-will be
pronounced in playing shape by
Manager johnson next week.
Spencer's appearance means that
Walter johnson can ship Gordon
Phelps, Bowie (Md0 catcher, to
some minor resort Immediately.
Phelps remained in Washington
when the Griffs checked out en-
route here last night. Horace
LiSenbee, who won 18 games and
lost nine with the 1927 Griffs
only to do a Somersault the fol.
lowing year, Is thought to be as
good as he ever was.
