HOUSE VOTES
AGAINST DRY
LAW CHANGE
Medicinal Whisky Measure
Loses After Debate by
SOFAS Vote.
REPEAL BILL UP NEXT
Final Assault on Wright
Act Almost Certain
to Be Crushed.

One more attack on the Wright
bone dry law remains for members
of the Indiana house of representa-.
tives who late Monday were de-
feated, so to As, in their efforts to
avert indefinite postponement of
the bill to permit the prescription
and sale of medicinal whisky.
The last chance will be the Gall
loway-Egan bill providing for OUT
right repeal of the Wright dry law,
which is expected to be handed in
Wednesday by the public morals
committee on divided report with
the ma ority for indefinite postpone
ment.
The bills death by a larger margin
than was fatal to the prescription
bill is regarded certain.
The debate on the medicinal
whisky bill was the bitterest of the
session. 1t broke up with Repre-
sentative John D. T. Bold Dem,
Vanderburg), ardent wet, issuing
this challenge:
1T looks as if the members OF
this house as of five other houses
preceding it will bow their backs and
take the. orders of the Anti-Saloon
League and the w. G. r. u, the
forces of bigotry and the forces Of
intolerance.
'Falsehood' Is Charged
"The representatives of the dry
league lied deliberately at public
hearing conducted on this bill the
other night on several major
points"
Representative Cecil c. Griggs
Rep., Parke), minister, jumped to
his feet and shouted the Anti
Saloon League did not lie. It and
the w. G. T. U. are composed of
honorable people, and you know
that yoU are saying falsehood"
All over the floor, representatives
Sprang to their feet shouting point
Of order" and throw him out"
GriggS' remarks were lost in the
noise and this debate, which fol-
lowed the killing of the bill, was
closed by the speaker.
Democrats Divided
The Republican minority of the
house under the leadership of Rep
resentatiye Miles Furnas IRAN
dolpl1), Republican caucus CHAIR
man, again rallied to the support
of the Saloon League and the
w. G. T. u, with twenty-five of its
twenty-five members voting to kill

did not earn a wet" label because
twenty-eight of its seventy
house members, including its lead

voted for indefinite postponement.
White Opened Debate
Representative John F.. White

majority report for passage, made
the opening appeal for adoption of
the report.
Proponents of the bill objected TO

that he has been of little use to

AIM To MAKE
SWEEP Of
SERIES
BY GARRETT WATERS


Although the Griffman are ap-
parently out of the championship
running in this years American
League race in view Of the AS
imposing margin at this time,
they could cause no little furore
by defeating Connie Mack's men
four straight in the series which
begins today.
One Last Aim
That's the aim of Manager
JohnSon's men as they make one
final stand against the team
which has been such a persistent
winner all year.
Taking four straight is our
only chance of making a come
back" is what the boys have
to say about this series. And
if we can do that little thing.
there's still going to be real
fight for the pennant for the
remainder Of the way"
There is a little more import
ance attached to just defeating
the AS as Manager Johnson's
boys realize. They know they
must win to keep ahead of the
Yankees, who are waiting and
hoping for the break which will
bring them into second place.
The Griffmen can be said to
be making a gallant stand during
the next three days, then. Beat
the AS in the idea of possibly
overhauling them" is their chief
objective. Hold on to second
place, if they can't beat them
is their next aim. Some spirited
playing should be offered as re-
suit of these ideas.
Renew Old Feud
A renewal of an old feud begins
also today. Big Fred Marberry is
down to pitch for the Griffmen.
which means that he and AL Sim
mons will have it out in words,
maybe fists, before the game is
finished.
Marberry and Simmons nearly
came to blows when the Griffmen
were in Philadelphia about a
month ago.
Simmons figured Marberry
pitched too close to him in the
first game Of the dOuble-header
that day, and decided to have
1t out with him as result.
Bat in hand, Simmons walked
to the pitchers box after Mar
berry's fourth pitch had barely
grazed his right ear. Marberry
dropped his Glove ready to fight.
But there was no fight as UNI
pires and players separated the
pair before anything happened.
A feud is on, however, and fans
will see the principals face to face
today.
Big Fred, incidentally, will be
out to register his 18th victory of
the season. He attempted to do
that against the Indians earlier
in the week, but failed, as he
lasted only four inninN1 against
Manager Peckinpaugh's men.
A greater incentive will regulate
Marberry's efforts today. If there
is one team in the league he likes
to beat it's the AS, SO it's dol
lars to doughnuts he'll be in his
best fettle in an effort to score.

The question of poor patron
age at home for the Athletics
would not cause theirs or any
other ownership to break up a
great combination. The good
patronage away from home is
bound to make up for indiffer-

ference at home cannot be so
bad. Didn't they turn away
thousands at Shibe Park a cou-
