SALOONS RETURN
FEARED BY WALSH.
Senator Questions Wads'
worth on Possibility of
Dry Law Repeal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana
closely questioned former Senator James
w. Wadsworth of New York at Sen
ate hearing today as to the possibility
of return of the saloon if the eighteenth
amendment were repealed. The wit
ness said he thought the States could
be trusted" to prevent restoration OF
"the old-time saloon"
Wadsworth. who testified in favor of
repeal several weeks ago, was called
nuest of Walsh. who is a prohibitionist.
The witness testified the association
against the prohibition amendment is
Opposed to restoration of the old-time
saloon"
Asked if he had ''any assurance
that the saloon would be barred by
state action if the whole matter were
reieeated to the States. Wadsworth said
he was convinced that if we restore to
the people of the States complete
power to regulate control of the liquor
traffic within their borders, re-establish-
ment of the saloon as We used to know
it. would be prevented by overwhelming
public sentiment in each State
Walsh questioned Wadsworth in de-
tail concerning his contention that a
repeal amendment should be submitted
to State conventions rather than Legis-
latureS.
Walsh suggested that, in the case OF
conventions, the prospects are that an
enormous amount of money would be
spent on both sides of that campaign"
WadsWorth said he did not expect
the amount would be enormous
When Walsh questioned him as to
expenditures Of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, WadSworth
said its budget for this year is $3.50, 900
He added this does not mean that sum
by any means is to be spent for political
purposes" Much Of it, he said, goes for
research.
Walsh. suggested that the association
would spend considerable money" in a
campaign for delegates to State con-
ventions to vote on repeal and that the
Anti-Saloon League would do likewise.
You know they have many wealthy
hackers" he said, referring to the
league.
4 know they did" replied wads-
worth. smiling.
I suppose you know hope of none
tary gain would enter into such a
campaign, wash SdlO, dOOulk lIldl
those who hoped to manufacture liquor
would have selfish interest"
They'd be interested" said Wads-
worth Likewise the bootlegger. He'd
be interested in maintaining the pres
ent law
Walsh contended that the Legislature
would vote on wet-dry lines in deciding
whether to submit the question to con-
ventions and accordingly the issue would
be, to all intents, decided there. Wads-
worth did not assent to this.
Wadsworth contended State conven-
tions would be preferable to ratification
by Legislatures because the delegates
would be chosen specifically on the pro-
hibition issue and because, he said. leg
islative representation in his own and
some other States Is so distributed that
members 90 not represent equal num-
bers of citizens.

The story was told with consid- cradle detail last season, but the method by which Bill Killefer aroused the Browns to a real fighting pitch against the Athlet- ics, with the result that the cham pions were whipped four straight, still stands as an example of what may be done on the ball fields with old fashioned methods.
 The background was laid in an early season series when the As became insultingly over bearing in the process of taking the Browns over the hurdles. AS Killefer tells it:
 Big George Earnshaw, in one game, walked around the infield loudly asking any of the As if they wanted to pitch. AS crown ing insult, Connie Mack sent Ed die Ronmel, the old pitcher, in to play second base.
 I was fit to be tied, was So mad. When we got back to St. Louis for home stand, with the As coming to town, I told all my players I would fine any one of them I caught even talking with the Mackmen. I gave them an fashioned fight talk, with the result we went out all fired up

''The As were not prepared for such tactics, in the first place They won the first game, with Grove in the box, but they were back on their heels and the Browns took the next four in a row, at time when the Athletics were being hard pressed by Washing ton.
 After we had beaten them to a standstill, Earnshaw had the courage to come over and con- graduate me and tell me he wish ed there was more of that kind of spirit in baseball"
 Blasted Grove
 The Browns handed another wal Top to the As later in the season when they stopped Lefty Groves record winning streak, after 16 straight, with Dick Coffman in the box.
 Coffman, a short time before had blanked the White Sox with one hit, single by Kerr in the middle of the game. When the As came to town and it was Groves turn to pitch, Coffman personally asked for the assignment against the famous southpaw.
 T just felt I might as well take the tough spot while I was going good" recalled Coffman when I talked with him in the Browns' camp at West Palm Beach. Lefty pitched another great game but I had a little edge on him all the way, allowing only three hits. We might have been pitching yet, how ever, but for a misjudged fly that helped us get the only run of the game"
 Coffman Jinxts
 I asked Coffman which of the big hitters he found the toughess to work against.
 Al Simmons and Babe Ruth are always tough" he replied, be cause they can hit anything but the fellows who give me the most trouble are Alexander of Detroit, Lary of the Yankees and Cronin of the Senators. It seems to me I can never get that Alexander out. Cronin is one of the smart est hitters in the game, always dangerous, especially in a pinch.
