The second and last heat of

VI Cue season.
Also he might get in the 20
triumphs he set out for himself
about a month ago, in the midst
of a recent winning streak.
When Marberry took the
mound against the Red Sox in
the second game of the holiday
double header, it marked his
sixth try for his fifteenth win of
the season.
Griffs Pound Ball
Five times before had Manager
johnson called upon him to reg
lister number IS, and five times
had he failed. But yesterday,
according to Fred, a baby could
have won with the help the Griff-
men gave, so viciously did they
attack four Boston hurlers. Fred
was a little worried when he
walked to the mound, however.
It seems his arm did not respond
like he would like to have it be-
ing slightly sore.
"That workout yesterday
brought it around though" said
Marberry. "Still I'm glad I did
not have to pitch one of those
games where I'd had to bear
down. The fear of hurting my
arm would have been too great
and I might have lost again.
Everything's o. k. now, how
ever"
The Griffs made it easier for
Fred in that second game they
won ISL. At no time did Mar
berry have to bear down.
An old teammate, Bobby
Reeves, hurled six and one-third
innings for the Red Sox. He
went into the box in the second
after three Boston hurlers had
failed, Russell, Morris and Nc
Laughlin. The latter is a high
school recruit being tried out by
Collins.
The Griffs counted four runs
in the first inning, eight in the
second, two in the third and one
in the fifth for their total of Is.
The SoX counted their lone
marker in the third, when Swee-
ney singled and Rothrock tripled.
Quite q Battle
The Griffs had quite a battle
on their hands to win the first
game. The Sox proved stubborn
foes before finally bowing, rs.
The feature of the contest was
the steady relief pitching of
Bump Hadley, who came to Bobby
Burke's rescue in the fourth in
ming.
Hadley set the SOx down
without q run after granting
two on his entrance into the
box, and, while he was sOcked
for six hits during the remain
ing innings, he managed to keep
them from becoming dangerous,
as he always had enough in re-
serve to keep the opposition
from denting the plate. He got
credit for the victory.
The Griffs collected an early
Iead in this game for Burke and
It looked like a breeze for Bobby
until he faltered in the fourth.
Three markers were counted in
;he first, two in the second and
one in the third before the Sox
guns got started.
Durham began on the mound
Tor the Collins team, while LiSen-
bee and Moore finished. Lisen-
bee gave up the two runs for the
margin as it turned out. Harris
homer in the left field bleachers
was one. while Rice's double scor-

AFFAIR

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. 8.
Ellsworth Vines, Frank Shields,
Fred Perry, and all the other
brilliant young stars who have
been streaking across the tennis
horizon this summer will be out
in force at Forest Hills, but it
will not be upon them that the
fans will focus their attention.
American tennis turns back the
pages of it's colorful history fifty
years at the West Side Tennis
Club, and champions and former
champions who won their laurels
before the present crop of stars
was even born will crowd the
youngsters out of the spot light,
for one glorious day.
First Champion On Hand
This is golden jubilee year for
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, and at o'clock this
afternoon play will be halted in
the fiftieth annual champion
ships, and the stage will be given
over entirely to the old-timerS
who made modern-day tennis pos
sible in America.
Richard d. Sears, the player
who won the first mems singles
championship back in 1881, and
who held it continuously until
1887, will be there, and so will
Henry w. SlOcum, champion ia
1888; EugeniuS Outerbridge, one
of the original founders of the
U. S. L. T. A., and Maclom ID.
Whitman and HOlcOmbe Ward,
two of Americas original Davis
Cup stars.
Players who have won United
States championships during the
past so years of competition, in
cluding a number of foreign win
ners, will gather at Forest Hills
early in the afternoon.
Secretary of the Navy Char:es
Francis Adams will then present
each championship winner with q
gold medallion.
With the possible exception Of
the Keith Gledhill-David N. Jones
contest, the third round today
should proceed to completion
without any big thrills.
LenOir Wright can hardly hope
to make Ellsworth Vines even
work hard; Bruce Barnes soft

Frank Shields; HerbhdOaman
will be lucky to take set from
Fred Perry, and the same goes
for Frank BOwden when he
stacks up against Sidney B.

have any trouble with Harold

In addition to Allison yester-

MUCH LESS DRINKING
Than Before Prohibition, Says A
Professor of Ohio State
University

Or. Cecil G. North, sociology professor
at Ohio State university, is quoted on the
current clip sheet Of the Methodist Board
of Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals, as saying there is much less drink
ing by students now than there was be-
fore 1910.
Sixteen faculty members of colleges and
universities over the country are quoted.
DR.. North's statement follows
My conviction is very strong that there
is very much less drinking by students
than there was before 1920. Drunkenness
among undergraduates seems to be eX-
ceedingly rare at present, but was not at
all uncommon in the earlier period. The
habits of graduates who developed their
drinking habits in the earlier days and
who now come back to the college for cele-
brations is very bad influence Most of
the undergraduates resent this attitude
and yet are powerless to do very much
about it.

To what extent the inhabitants Of the

gangster government may be learned from

city in this country says Mr.. CroWbher,
"a dual system Of government" One is

The opponent Of prohibition who fights
it to escape taxes and 10 maintain his per-

is paying to gangster government, and
forgets all about the loss Of ais personal
liberty under its tyranny.
The bootlegger patron today contributes
his quota TO gangster rule, but so did the
saloon patron of other days. "The in

IN PRAISE OF AN EXPERIMENT THAT
NEVER SUCCEEDED

I"Attainment of Temperance" by Lord
Dawson Atlantic Monthly, December,
1901
Prof. Bunge called the moderate drinker
"decoy" The delusions that may ema-
nate from such a source are here illus
trated.
The first statement by Lord Dawson is:
cit IS common ground that some public
control of the sale Of alcohol is needed,
with a view to securing moderation II
consumption" etc. But where is there
country today where such attempted con-
troll is not thwarted by eVasions and bonn
barded by liquor demands for more leni-
ency? England herself IS an example. The
controlled" liquor traffic controls tie
votes Of large areas which resist al at
tempts at a control that viii be more con-
ducive to temperance
Drunkenness is seldom seen" asserts
Lord Dawson; ct is condemned in all
classes, and the offender soon knows l..
But arrests, or rather convictions, for
drunkenness in London III 1925 were 33.4l
per 10000 against New Y0rkS 1926 arrests.
Two Americans, DR.. George E Heath, Of
Maiden, and the Rev. Lynn Radcliffe, of
Sonerville, who visited last year the
vicinity OF typical London saloons at clos
ing time Q0:30 p. NJ saw drunken crowds
OF men and women streaming out, with
children waiting for them on the side
walk Liquor bought in the saloons before
closing time was carried out in bottles,
pitchers, and glasses to be finished On the
outside.
4 policeman at one corner viewed the
passing, noisy DRINKS unconcernedly
though "all the jails in London could not
have held those who might have been
taken up in wholesale arrests for drunk
enness that night
Perhaps the policeman shared the views
of Lord Dawson that temperance was be-
ing attained" or Of the taxi driver who
took the Americans to witness the scenes,
but who assured them there was nothing
to see as everything had been cleaned up
since the war.
Lord Dawson thinks that "'to say that
because alcohol is used in excess by some
it should be abandoned by all is unsound
reasoning" But surely the analogy he
uses in support of this assertion is most
unsound reasoning. because speech some
times maddenS us, are we to ordain
silence?" Speech is in no way comparable
to a drug that weakens the self-control
needed to avoid eXceSses. A taxi drive
around London at closing time might be
helpful to his sense of proportion. He
thinks 1--WE are well on the way to appre-
ciate the virtues and the pleasure of wine
and beer, good in quality and small III
quantity"
Evidently some Of his London c0mpa-'
triots also appreciate beer, but not in
small quantities.
