 Tanks After 4 Straight
 The Yankees, after pounding each others backs for an hour in the dressing rooms, shouting lend the series in four straight, went into to-day's game with that con- fidence which comes from the strong wine of victory.
 It would have been vain to point out to them that last year the fav- orite Philadelphia Athletics breezed to victory in the first game of that series, only to lose the title in seven contests. It also

 field was lost fin the sun, while
 his lone putOut was made at
 the expense of Ben Chapman in the seventh inning.
 III ldCl, tit uuHlDeF DOyS OIi both teams had a tough day. odd Grosetti, the Yankee shortstop. played in their first World Series game. Crosetti struck out once, flied out once, was walked once and reached first on fielders choice in his four times at bat. Then, in the seventh, Crosetti let Cuyler's grounder go right through him with an easy double play in sight.
 Something less than 42,OOO customers came through the paying gates, which must have been bit disappointing to the homogeneous of the respective teams. The depression, plus rain, on Tuesday night, and the "sctS of three" ticket ar- engagement, by which the du- cats are sold, all had a part in the comparatively small turnout. Guy Bush had a nice lead to work on right from the go. Billy I Herman, the first man up in his first series game, smacked a sim gle to centerfield. which Woody English followed with a slashing triple to right, scoring Herman. "Old Hoss" Riggs Stephenson then got the first of his three hits, SCOT ing English. That put Bush in a | nice spot, which he held neatly until the fourth inning, when q run into the right field stands put | him in the hole 3 to 2.
 That sixth inning was nightmare for the man from Mississippi. Five bases on balls two clean singles and juggled infield out, sent him to the showers despite the fact that he gave up but three hits in five and Onc-third innings. In the fourth inning, the Tank board of strategy was belted into tailspin. Ruffing, pitching mas terfully at that point, passed Mark Koenig to get Bush, but he couldn't find the dish quickly enough, and Bush walked, too. However. Her man flied out and no score re- suited.
 Ch ley Ruffing, big, strong. red-hcaded fire.baller. came fairly close to the World
 Series strikeOut record heM by Howard Ehmke of the As made against the same team the Yanks played today. If you remember, Connie Mack made his sudden decision to pitch Ehmke against the Cubs in that opening game of the
 1929 series. and Howard obliged by flaming thirteen Cubs. Ruffing got ten of them in this series opener.
 Burleigh Grimes, rated great "money pitcher" by the insiders. showed the effects of season of illness today. He seems to be pretty near the end of his rope as a valuable player.
 It was one of the worst World Series games veteran baseball writers have ever seen.

PLAN TO LEGALIZE BEER BY AMENDING REVENUE BILL.

WASHINGTON - Representatives Sullivan and Cullen of New York and Mccormack, of Boston, all Democrats. have announced that they will make formal attempt to bring about ac- tio ona proposal to legalize the man. ufacture and sale of beer, with a view to pacing tax on the beverage for revenue purposes Their plan is to amend the revenue bin.
 It is contended y the Congressmen sponsoring the move that such a tax as they propose will hring in $350,- 100000 in much needed revenue an- nually and enable Congress to ehmi- nate amusement and communications taxes and reduce manufacturers ex- else taxes. The leg1lizing of beer they contend, 4also would materially relieve the unempoyment situation.
 The proposal of Congress to tax grape concentrates and malt is at- tackled as formal recognition of ar illegal business.

One footprint also appeared on the sill Accounting the Kidnapping, th' authority said there was no ques- tion but that the first kidnaper as- eended the ladder and entered the room. The second followed him and received the baby from his hands. Upon reaching the ground, according to this theory, the two men walked rapidly away with the child. In addi- tion to the plaster casts were foot prints made by shoes, which evidently wee covered by stockings or cloth. There was a set of footprints made by a pair of heavy boots Two hun dred yards from the house these two tracks were joined by the prints of a woman's shoes. It is stated that a eheck-up of the fingerprints revealed no known criminals to whom they would be assigned. The theory now held, it was stated, is that if profes- sional criminals were involved they may have hired workmen to commit the actual kidnapping. On the other hand, the fact that investigation of the fingerprints disclosed no known criminal may be taken as an indica- tion that the plot was conceived and

She walked briefly on the terrace of her home during the day, which was bright but cold. Her husband is re- maining close to his private telephone line in the house, hoping against hope that some word will come from the l1idnapefs, either directly or through Sally Spitale, the Manhattan under word character he named as a ge-
 tween. State troopers and police continued their exhaustive search of .he Sourlands district, through a ,;erlii-wild zone, whose inhabitants i've n comparative isolation and who y:sent the worlds interference in
 nair lives.
 Mrs. Anita Gholows, who was inter- viewed early in the hunt by the police, and who said she feared one of the gangs operating in the .Sourlands as .hieves might have stolen the baby, accompanied one group of searchers. It was understood that Mrs. Cho-
 owski was taken along as guide be- cause of her knowledge of the coun- try.
 One of the most ocruel of the re- ports circulated during the day was attributed enormously to Mayor J. H. sCurley of Boston. It was said that Curley had known the baby was safe at home. The mayor, in "a public statement after the report became current, denied having made any such declaration, admitting that he had re- peated purely as hearsay what some one else had told him.
 Out of the days developments, one official statement added a note of op- timism to the situation. Colonel A Norman Schwartzkopf, head of the State police quartered at the Lind bergh home, reported progress ,ir these words: "We are doing every thing possible to recover the Lind bergh baby and we hope to recover ii soon."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The bill intro.ccd in the House by Delegate Wicke,.ham to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Law, which conflicts with the Vo.stead Act, was given it's sec ond hearing before the Committee on Territories on February 2. A few days previous the attorney for Bishop Cannon prepared statement and had it filed with the committee, giving his objections to the bll of repeal. These were replied to in detail by the Dele gate at the meeting, which was at tended by Mrs. Ella A. Boole, presi- dent of the National Woman's Chris tan Temperance Union, and who spoke in opposition to the bill, as did also the attorney, requiring further explanation, and argument by the Delegate. As some of the members of the committee could not be present at the next meeting, on February g, it was decided to authorize the chair man to call special meeting at an opportune time, when vote would be taken on approval or disapproval of the bill.
