Police Ask Druggist
Aid In Poison Cases
New York Detective Bureau Head Scores Druggist for
Laxity-At Same Time Tips Them on Hold-Ups

New York.-The druggists OF the
metropolis sold poison last year to
$50 persons who used 1t later to
commit murder or suicide, says
Francis j. Kerr, borough COM
handing officer detective bureau,
New York.
The number Of these cases would
be cut down, this official states, II
the druggist would revise his some
what negligent attitude towards the
poison Book" in which he Is re-
qulred by law to see that poison
buyers name and address Is re-
corded.
In the case of a chloroform bot
tie found beside the bed of q MUIR
dered woman, the druggist from
whom the chloroform was bought
became the detectives quest, but
when druggist was found who
had sold the peculiar bottle, he
could not describe the purchaser.
Some place to-day" says Detec-
tive Kerr, a murderer may thank
a druggist for his freedom"
He advocates that the druggist
follow these rules: Before he de-
livers any drug or chemical known
to him to be deadly, let him take
special care In noting the name, adj
dress and description of the .pur-
chaser. Let him ascertain the pur-

Industry. The alumni, instead OF
going back to the campus for the
big game, are spending Saturday
afternoon cozily at home listening
to the radio. The reasons for this
are the Increased interest In play
by-play reporting by skilled an
nouncers and the continued high
price Of football tickets. The re-
suits are q great slump in athletic
revenues ana decline of good old
fashioned college spirit.
Attendance at football games
fell off sharply this past season.
Several winning teams even ended
up with a deficit. This Is some
thing nobody, three or four years
ago, would have believed to be
possible. There had been such a
flow Of gold heretofore that 1t was
more or less taken for granted that
1t would last forever, that football
would continue to pay the expenses
of all other sports.
1.-THE general public has not
suddenly soured on our great AM
erican game. II, fans found they
could not tune In, they would be
storming the gates. If broadcast
Ing is barred, the price Of tickets
could even down because a SELL
out would be more probable"
Most colleges have entered into
expensive building programs, points
out Mr. Swanson, and there are
heavy interest payments and main
tenance charges to be met by prac-
tically all college athletic plants.
Officials are realizing that alumni
are less and less to be relied to
meet deficits by gifts, and the sale
Of broadcasting rights to the radio
companies IL, says Mr. Swanson, the
logical solution.
Radio stations are strong
enough to pay" he continues In
college Humor," The privilege of
sponsoring the Army-Navy game
OF 1880 was sold to an advertiser
for twenty-five thousand dollars.
Although most schools do not allow
chain broadcast OF their games, the
radio stations sell time to adver-
Users for local coverage--and all
over the United States this amounts
to q terrific sum annually.
Several ADVERTISING agencies
are strongly back Of the idea and
say that the radio chiefs would
welcome the colleges making a
nominal charge, because this would
enable them to sell the contest az
a commercial feature on a chain
hook-up. An additional charge
could be made by the school for
each station added to the chain."

Radio Said To Be
Killing Football
Play.By-Play Breakfasts Are Beginning to Cut Down
the Gate Claims College Magazine

New York--The broadcasting Of
college football games Is cutting
down gate receipts and threaten
ing the life Of the sport because
alumni who formerly supported the
game are now content to git at
home, twirl the dials, and follow
the plays from the comfort of their
own arm chairs, asserts HIN. Swan
son, editor Of college Humor," In
the March issue. The remedy, he
urges, Is the sale Of rights to
broadcast football games, which
heretofore have been given away,
a change of policy which would
be welcome both to the radio COM
panies, who would then be enabled
to feature stadium broadcasts COM
nlercially in chain hook-ups, and
also to the colleges, to which 1t
would furnish a legitimate and
dtgnified source Of revenue.
Viewing the dwindling crowds
and dwindling gate receipts Of the

DEMPSEY IS HELD LIABLE
 FOR S100,0OO

CHICAGO, H., March 25.--Jack Dempsey, former world heavyweight champion, is held responsible for approximately $100,00o in expenses incurred by the Chicago Coliseum Club in 1926 when he repudiated contract to fight Harry Wills. Negro challenger.
 A ruling handed down by
 the Appellate Court, delivered
 by Judge Francis Wilson, re-
 versed judgment in the Cir
 cuit Court and recommended
 the case for a new trial.
 Suit for $500,000 was brought against Dempsey, who was cham pion at the time, by the Coliseum Club, which declares Dempsey had caused the club great loss by his failure to go through with the contract. Judge Harding H. Pom eroy, in the Circuit Court, last year ordered the jury to bring in a directed verdict, finding Dempsey not guilty.
