ment of Justice as Attorney General
Mitchell conducts it and of the enforce
ment of law as the Federal courts carry
it out. An equally fundamental quality
is the strict sense of justice and exact
regard for law which would carefully
refrain from inflicting the equivalent Of
a murder sentence on criminal who
has only been convicted of income tax
evasion and violation OF the prohibition
laws.
The sentence to be given Capone is,
Of course, within the discretion of the
Federal Court. Widespread assumption
has assigned to Capone practically a
lifetime sentence by adding up the pos
sible sentences he could be given for
each one of the separate charges to
which he has pleaded guilty. Theoreti-
cally, the court could, perhaps, do that,
Imaginably, 1t may. Fidelity to exact
justice and respect for law in the most
exalted sense might suggest, however,
that the Capone sentence be Just the
same as the maximum given to others
income tax and prohibition laws.
The point is, these are substantially
the only laws under which the Federal
Government, can proceed against Ca
pone and the only crimes for which
charges of murder or of other crimes
of violence are to be made against any
of Capone'S gang, the only agency that
can do that is the State of Illinois and
the local government of Chicago.
Excepting on Army reservations and
similar limited areas the Federal Gov
ernment at Washington does not have
jurisdiction to proceed against murder
or other crimes of the familiar sort.
Washington officials are frequently
fretted by the fact that their only
chance of proceeding against a criminal
to disclose the fruits of mis- crime in
an income tax report.
Praise for Government.
The fact that the Federal Govern
ment has brought Capone to the bar
when the State and city governments
never did has been properly made the
occasion for comparisons laudatory of
the Federal Government. The Federal
however, cannot subSti-
tute itself for State governments. That
in the past and on the Capone case
the local government of Chicago has
broken down or laid down" is we'll
known. To expect that Capone should
now be given the equivalent of a mur-
der sentence by perversion of Fed
eral law and of just practice would be
to accept and condone the failure of
the local government in Chicago If
any of Capone'S gang are to be charged
with murder, or if Capone's stay in
jail is to be prolonged for period ap-
to his gangs many crimes of

viously, the local governments work
should be easier in the light of evi-

Nj Big Celebration Looms for Maryland T. Basketball Player
Today's
Sportorial
BY KIRK MILLER.

If you ask w. j. Dixie) Stod-
dard, of Atlanta, he'll tell you
that the Georgia metropolis
boasts-well not exactly boasts,
but claims-the worlds worst
and the worlds best golfer.
True or not, that's quite an
order when one recalls all the
bad golf and bad golfers he's OBJ
served, but in that Dixie admits
he's the worlds worst, the only
gracious thing you can do is ad-
NIT he's half right, and let it
go at that. Personally we know
half dozen who can at least tie
him for the questionable honor.
Anyway, Dixie Stoddard spent
the weekend in Washington
with his friend and business as
sociate, Harry Viner, with the
specific idea in mind of proving
his allegation about the worlds
worst golfer. In that it rained
all day Sunday all bets were
called off and Stoddard took
the late train for Atlanta.
All AtlantanS, of course, are
full up with the general subjects
of Bobby Jones and William
CYoung) Stribling, and Dixie
Stoddard is no exception.

Jones Golfing Neighbors

Dixie's locker at Eastlake is
only a couple removed from
that of Emperor Jones and de-
spite his proximity to the
worlds leading exponent Of the
ancient and honorable game,
Stoddard says he hasn't been
able to improve his game a
single stroke in the last 10
years.
Furthermore" depOseth StOd-
dard, 1--WE seen hundreds of
golfers spend week-endS on
week.ends at EaStlake with the
avOwed purpose of watching
Jones and improving their own
game, and / am convinced golf
form is something that can't
be initiated or copied and that
there is as much individual
ism about golf as there is a
persons handwriting, their likes
for necktieS or food or gals. "
Mr.. Stoddard'S recital of how
Bobby Jones came to take up
golf interested me immensely.
1 had never heard or read Of
this particular set of conditions
which first found Jones fool
ing around the golf course
and that's how everybody gets
started, Just TO- - around.

Underdeveloped Lad

Although you'd never suspect
it now, Bobby Jones was under
developed as a tiny tot Of a boy.
Before he was S years old,
the family physician advised the
parent to take Bobby from the
city to the country, there to give
the lad more of a chance at out
door life, fresh air and all OF
natures gifts to humanity with
which the open spaces abound.
The Jones moved into a home
right on the EaStlake golf
property, and before Bobby was
yet 6, the old club professional
was teaching him how to hold
his clubs, how to swing, follow
through and other fundamen-
tails. The kid was a willing and
apt student, and from the out
set the golf professional claimed
he had a prodigy in Bobby.
Dixie Stoddard pays a high
compliment to Bobby Jones, too,
as a lawyer. declaring he is un-
usually smart in the law and
not using it merely as a sham
at having a profession.
"And how about StribIing?"
we asked the big dyer and
cleaner of Atlanta and the self.
confessed worlds worst golfer.
"WelI," came the delightful
Southern drawI Of Mr.. StOddard,
"aII 1 can say is, that if Schme-
ling ever hits Stribling in the
sO-calIed breadbasket, it will be
goodnight for little Willie! He
can't take it in the middle"
There you have frank state
ments from friend and neighbor
of Jones and Stribling, two
young men whose names come
up often in sports chatter.

FOUR STRIKES
Four strikes in a row!

Four strikes in row!
Leo Balducci pulled that fare
stunt last night in the Southeast
Bowling League in rolling a $50
game when it looked like he
would have to struggle to shoot
100!
He had 10 in the 7th frame,
and struck in the eighth, ninth
and tenth frame and struck on
the roll-off, picking up 80 pins
in three boxes. Balducci couldn't
do anything in his other two
games, however, and finished
with a 343 set. Lewis TubbS, of
RoSslyn, performed the same feat
last Saturday, but started earlier
in the game and rolled 1873.
His team, the Balducci's Deli
catessen, one of the underdogs in
the league, inspired by his coloS-
sal effort upset the Queen Pins,
81, rolling their highest game,

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

DIV OEONNL IA 0O4N
Maryland University students
were today stirred over the pros
pect of their basketball repreSen-
tatives returning home from At
lanta, Ca, as champions Of the
Southern Conference. The Old
Liners will tackle Kentucky Uni
versity in the finals tonight after
snatching a 1925 game from
Georgia University in the semi
finals last night. Kentucky ran
away from Florida University, S.
35.
Campus sentiment favored a
big celebration for the basketers
if they defeat Kentucky tonight.
Nothing has kindled the student
spirit so much since seven or
eight years ago when a Maryland
football team beat Pennsylvania
University at Philadelphia.
Almost Forget Studies
The students have been so in
terested in Maryland's great play
in the Southern Conference tour
nament that they have nearly for
gotten to attend classes. Even.
this enthusiasm has gripped the
professors who have been lenient
with their pupils. In every nook
and corner of the school grounds
can be found groups talking about
the fine Maryland team and prais-
ing every member, particularly
Bozie Berger and Ed Ronkin.
In this city and elsewhere,
thousands of Maryland alumni
are anxiOusly following the
fortunes of the Terrapins on
the Atlanta floor. They'll do
some celebrating of their own,
too, if the wires and telephones
tonight tell of . Maryland vic
tory over Kentucky.
Maryland owes its triumph
over Georgia to its two aces,
Berger and Ronkin, who counted
18 points between them, the
former gathering 10 points. How
ever. substitute basketer, Bob
Wilson, turned the tide in Mary.
lands favor toward the end by
arching two game-saving baskets
in rapid succession. These goals
gave Maryland a 25-to-22 lead
and Chalmers tabulated the final
point on a free goal.
Moran, Georgia forward,
chalked up a field goal and
Reeder added a free throw as
the gun was fired, terminating
one of the closest and toughest
games in the current tourney.
Maryland skipped out to big
lead over the Bulldogs and gained
a 11-4 command and the half
ended with Maryland in the van,
13-7. The Bulldogs closed in on
the Terrapins in the second hall,
whitfield Maryland's lead, and
finally went ahead by one point.
Wilson Enters Game
At this juncture, Jack Norris,
Maryland center, was elected from
the game, being charged with four
personal fouls. Berger was shifted
to the tap off position and
"Frenchy" Cohan went in at
guard for Berger. A few minutes
later, Burton Shipley, Maryland
coach, pulled out Cohan and
named Wilson as his relief. This
move won the game. Summary:

and undoubtedly would be helped by the contemplated commercial fishing activity. There has been some oppo- sition to the proposed regulation, but it seems to be based upon the miscon- cepion that salmon canneries will be establishedy by Outside interests in the Yukon river region. The only ac- tivity contemplated would be salting mild-curing operations which would be conducted by local residents of the lower Yukon region.
 "The Eskimo and Indian residents of the Yukon region do not favor king salmon as food for themselves or their dogs. They prefer the other species of salmon for this purpose. As a matter of fact, these natives make littel effort to catch king sal- mon.
 Tt is of interest to note that the demand for dried salmon for dog feed during the winter months nvarious places along the Yukon has declined sharply during he last year or two because of the greatly increased use of airplanes. The mail carriers and others were formerly among the chief purchasers of salmon as food for their dog teams, but this very much slower means of transportation has given way more and more to air planes, whirh in about two or three hours can cover a distance requiring practically a week by, dog team.
 If after one season. sptrial. the new regulation proves detrimental to the inhabitants of Alaska,isiti will be re- sciended. Under no circumstances. do we want to work hardship on any
