MORE DRY AGENTS
 NEEDED FOR DRIVE
WOodcock Says 25 Per Cent h.
 crease Necessary in Work

Washington, Aug. 1 P-Con- vinced after two days Of meetings with his 12 regional administrators that an increased personnel is es- sential, Amos W. w. Woodcock, di- rector of prohibition, will ask con- gress for a 25 per cent enlargement of his forces.
 James NJ. Doran, chief of the bu- reau of industrial alcohol of the treasury, also will seek an increase.
 "No Cry of Despair"
 "he Woodcock decision is no "cry of despair he maintained today. He is confident that with the per sonnel increased from 2,O0O to about 2,500, stricter enforcement will be obtained and that his con- Centrated drive against large scale violators will be more effective.
 The recommendation is the result of demands from his field directors. Woodcock, who has just taken over the prohibition task for the justice department, already felt more men were needed but had expected to leave a definite decision until he had gained more personal exper- fence. The overwhelming sentiment of his lieutenant, however, made up his mind.
 Today the new dry czar wound up his conference with the field workers, consulting them with q dozen picked men who are to head a special squadron of 200 agents detailed to ferret out wholesale lio- uor conspiracies. He planned also d talk before the industrial alcohol permit supervisors on the coopera- ton expected between the TWO forces.
 Doran Agents Confer
 The Doran forces, for which an increase of 120 men is sought, are holding conference parallel with that caused by the prohibition su- pervisor.
 Another contribution to the pro- '''NiNiO4i Nl''N t'7o4O4l tdlllt last lllS Ill from Assistant Secretary bowman of the treasury, who, in q radio ad- dress said only two per cent of the liquor now sold in this country came from Canada and that of the 25,000,000 worth of intoxicants brought in last year from tho do- minion, much was short circuited" back 10 Canadian bootleggers.
 Mabel Walker Willebrandt, who until recently was assistant attorney general in charge of prohibition en- forcement, also entered the dry pie ture informally last night by enter taining Woodcock and his aides al dinner in her home.
 Woodcock and Mrs. WilIebrandt are close friends and suggestions have been current that the new dry chief has drawn upon her eXper- fence in formulating his program of enforcement.
 Neither would discuss the dinner party. however, indicating it was purely social affair.

a sore heel on an eastbound train to-
Gay, firm in his intention to be at the
second-base sack for the Chicago Cubs
when they launch their 1880 season.
Although he left for Chicago on the
orders of Manager Joe Mccarthy,
Hornsby vigorously denied that there
was any chance of him undergoing an
other operation or of him being out of
base ball for span of months.
I'll drop in on specialist when l
get to Chicago" he said. MY heel
has been hurting me. A physician ex-
amined it and told me the pain was
caused from undue strain on certain
muscles of my leg because have ia.

The Rajah said Mccarthy thought it
would be best for him to stay off his
feet for while, and the physician adj
vised that he take rest and added:
Il could have played right through, but
there is no use taking any further
chances now"
He declared he would be back with
the Cubs in an exhibition game in Kan
sas City and would be in the lineup
when the season opens.

pinch-batter, could do was pop TO Joe

Marberry performed with pronounced
snnoothness, He had plenty OF zip on

effort into his pitching except In

that's all to be asked of pitcher.
The Nationals did their scoring in
two blocks, the first being built in the
fifth frame. Cronin started the attack
with a rousing triple between the left
and center fielders. Joe stuck at third
as the left fielder gathered in Tate's
short lift, but was sent home by Mar
berry's single to center. Vests ground
err was fumbled by Sturdy and after
Bancroft, who retrieved the ball,
chucked wildly over first there were
Nationals on second and third bases.
Jake Powell fouled out Then Goslin
picked this spot for his first homer OF
1880.
More scoring in the ninth With
Tate out of the way Hadley poked a
single to left and West banged one to
right. The Baron guardian of right
| field booted Vests slam, moving, Had

crashed one-baser through the third
sacker to score Hadley and put West
at third. On the throw from left to
the far corner Jake scampered to Sec
ond. Then the Birmingham middle
baseman kicked Goslin's drive and West
crossed with the final tally.
One of the bright spots Of the game
was Jake Powell's play in right. The
Silver Spring boy relieved Sam Rice
after the third inning and handled the
outfield post nicely. He gobbled four
chances that came his way. His best
| bit was a catch of difficult liner to
retire the side when Baron was roost-
ing on third. Jake got one hit in three
trips to the plate.
Sturdy pulled fast one on Marberry

JACK BERG PROVES
SCOTS ANTITHESIS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April SACK (Kid)
Berg, English lightweight, has given an
amazing display of courage for the
benefit OF the same metropolitan fight
fans who watched Phil Scott, British
heavyweight. take what they thought
was an "out" in his battle with Otto
Won Porat here last December.
Floored twice by low punches in the
eighth round of his 10-round bout with
Joe Click at Madison Square Garden
last night, Berg got up to carry the
Tight to his opponent and earn the
unanimous decision of the judges and
referee.
Berg, front-rank contender for the
lightweight title and holder, at the same
time, of the somewhat synthetic junior
welterweight crown, was leading on
points after the first seven rounds. Click
had put up great fight in the first
three rounds, but tired badly thereafter.
In the eighth Berg was smashed to the
floor by left hook that was palpably
low. AS Berg came to his feet at the
count of seven, Click smashed him
again with another low left. Berg got
up and flew at Click like wildcat and
soon had the one-time Brooklyn pants
presser groggy and bleeding from cuts
over both eyes.
Berg's gallant performance caused
some ringside observers to recall SCOTS
performance in the same ring when he
was struck by a low, but apparently
harmless, left by Won Porat and stayed
down until the referee disqualified the
Norwegian on foul.

certain Pn OPENER Only Poverty Should Bring Dempsey Back
STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

7 NASMUCH as the QUESTIONABLE
method Of finding out what people
really think about a given subject
seems to be the popular method
these days, Guy Mason, chairman Of the
Congressional Country Club golf COM
mittee, has adopted that means Of find
ing out whether the members Of his
club want to hold an invitation golf
tournament this Spring-and with
startling results.
Confessional has a large member
ship-eomething like 900-who would
be qualified to vote on the matter OF
holding a Spring tournament. So
Mason caused 900 cards to be sent out
asking the simple questions: DO you
or do you not favor the holding Of an
invitation golf tournament this Spring
for the Presidents trophy?"
Out of the 900 cards, 200 answers
were received, and here is the catch,
there were 100 persons who were
against the holding of the tourney and
only 40 in favor OF 1t.
So, according to Mason, 1t appears
that Congressional will not hold a
Spring invitation event this year.
Mason's experiment marks the first
time a club executive has resorted to
the QUESTIONABLE method of sounding
out the members on a matter OF policy.
Members of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps Country Club started TO-

grass has not grown sufficiently high
to warrant placing all the tees in use,
and expects them to be in good shape
in about a fortnight. Woodmont last
year put into effect a system OF using
alternate tees which makes each hole,
with the exception Of the first and
tenth. different hole from different
tee, even though the course is nine
hole affair. The new system found
high favor with the members and re-
suited in a complete change in the
