VETS, DRYS FIX
BATTLE LINES

Leaders of wet and dry forces
in the House today began draw
ing their lines for a test vote on
the Beck-Linthicum home rule"
amendment to the Eighteenth
Amendment on March IA.
Having won a vote on the pro.
hibition amendment for the first
time since its adoption IL years
ago, the wet leaders began a drive
for 200 votes on consideration OF
the resolution.
They planned to make an ap-
peal for dry support on the
ground that the proposed amend
ment, which gives back control
of liquor to the States, is merely
giving the people a right to ex-
press themselves.
The amendment has already
been denounced by the Anti
Saloon League and other dry or
ganizations, who will throw their
full strength and influence
against it.
The question before the House
will be whether the Beck-Linthi-
cum resolution shall be con.
sidered. This, the vets insist, is
test vote.
If a majority of the 435 mem
bers decide on consideration, q
two-thirds vote then will be nee
eSsary for final passage.
The wet leaders admittedly have
little hope OF passage of the reso-
luton. But they say they will
write a record for the congress
Sional elections next fall and force
pussy footers" to go on record.

whether any inmates had escaped
from the institution.

 The North End Eagles have 2 chance to win their first game of the year in league competition by defeating the fifth place East End Bears at Hamilton Park.

PUBLIC PARKS LEAGUE

Waterville's up and coming team has a grand opportunity to crash into the top spot of the Public Parks League. All the boys from Johnny Moore's district have to do is to defeat the Thomaston Kaceys who have lost just one of a half dozen games to date. In their own back yard, the runners-up should have some advantage and if they can produce some good pitching. the Kaceys will be charged with loss number two. However, Harry Lynch's stalwarts have not even thought about losing game for some time, and from indications and league standing to date it will take some real classy playing to beat them.
 Another interesting tilt in the Parks circuit brings together the Recreations and Colts, with the former having a slight edge on the latter to date. The Brooklyn Cubs and Motor Lines outfits meet in another contest and the Colored Elks and Hopeville will journey to Washington Park for p. me contest.

 BROWN LINK WITH
 DOUBLE VICTORY

 Chance to Pass Indians

New York, July 16--(UP)- Walter Johnson's Senators, fighting to get back into first division of the American League. have heartened Washington supporters by winning two straight games from the St Louis Browns.
 The St Louis aggregation, strangely enough, has been stum- bling block in the big trains pen nant path for several seasons. Prior to the present series, the Browns won seven of the eight games played with Washington.
 But despite absence of Cari Reynolds, Johnson's men beat the Browns yesterday, to z, thereby increasing their winning streak to seven straight games.
 The Senators two victories over St Louis were not easy. On Thurs day they battled for 12 long inn ings, before Washington won out, 5 to 4, and yesterday the Browns gave Johnson cold chills in the eighth inning when they rallied for five runs. Joe Cronin, most deter mined battler on the Washington team, drove in the winning run with a double in the eighth.
 Results
 This victory enabled the Sem ators to keep close on the heels of the fourth. place Detroit Tigers who bowled over the Philadelphia Attn letics, I'll to 10, in II innings. Jon- athan Stone, Detroit outfielder, led the Tiger attack with two home runs and a single, accounting for four tallies. Al Simmons made three home runs and a double for the As, boosting his home run total to 24.
 .Philadelphia's defeat cost Con- -nie Mack a chance to pass the sec- ond- place Cleveland Indians who were halted in their winning streak lat five straight by losing to the New York, Yankees, 8 to 5. Lefty Gomez registered his fifteenth vic- tory in 19 starts.
 For the second successive day, the Chicago White Sox, travelled II innings to beat the Boston Red Sox. The score was to 2. The Phillies replaced the St Louis Cardinals in fourth place in the National League by the frac- ton of percentage point when they nosed out the Cincinnati Reds. to 3, in 12 innings, while the Cards lost to the New York Giants, 12 to 4. Jim Bottomley made two homers for the Cards.
 Ray Kremer, veteran Pittsburgh lright-hander. returned to form and blanked the Boston Braves, l to 0. The runner-up Chicago Cubs trounced Brooklyn. 8 to 3.

FIVEPLAYERS IN LEADING PLACES

FOxx and Waner Best Bat- ters-GOmez, Swet0nic
 and Betts Best Pitchers

New York, July 16- UP)- Paul Waner of the Pittsburg Pi- rates continues to lead the Nation al league batsmen, and Jimmy Foxx of the Philadelphia Athletics still heads the American circuit sluggers.
 Averages released today, includ- ing games played Thursday, show that Waner has batting percent age of 1888, and Foxx has .378.
 Foxx also leads the American home run hitters with a total of 35, while Chuck Klein of the Phil lies still holds homer honors in the National division with 25.
 Lefty Gomez of the New York Yankees has retained his pitching leadership in the American league with IA games won and four lost, while Steve Swetonic of Pittsburg and Huck Betts of the Boston Braves continue in a tie for first place among the National hurlers. each having won 10 and lost two.
 The leading 10 hitters in each league:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-16

The north end baseball contingent has been awaiting this all-import- ant game for some time, and with Kenny Ouimet as a one-man cheer ing section the Nets are ready to give all their ability in an effort to share the leadership of the lea que with their opponents of the day. The Chargers are in a good spot, however, for even with losing the game, they will still be in first place, while a win for the Tommies will put them in the preferred class.
 Handsome Howie Colvin will probably oppose George sBiinn on the mound. and it is a safe bet that base hits will bring a high premium and in all probability, decide the game with two hard outfit can afford to make any mis- cues in the field or on the bases, all of which should assure the Sum- day spectators a first class con- test.
 Triple Scramble
 With the last three teams in the league on a percentage equal with three wins and five losses, the Washington Hills, in the throes of a winning streak will try hard to knock off the third place Sacred Hearts, whose wins and losses are four each to date. Last weeks three star shock, in which all favor ties wer, neatly knocked off has popped up the teams in the lower regions of the loop.
 John Kerwin's Tribunes. more than a bit tired of being downstairs in the standing will attempt to use the Brooklyn A. C.. as a stepping stone to better place. these two teams meeting in one of the 2 o'clock games. The Brooklyns have not been doing any too well for three weeks, and if they lose to- morrow it's going to be hard for them to get back into first divi- sion."

CHAMPION PAGER TO SHOW IN RACE
 AT CORKINCHAM

Boston, July 16-Rip Hanover, phenomenal world champion two- year pacer has been entered in the $10,000 Parker House stake, lead- ing event of the year for aged pacers. which is to be raced Thurs day, August 4, during the grand circuit meeting at Rockingham park, Salem, N. H. Now a three- year-old, this colt is stepping far out of his class to meet more sea- soned campaigners and while many experts believe he will be in deep water, the fact remains he is a rugged and game chap with a terrific amount of speed and can not be counted out of the running.
 He is member of the Hanover Shoe Farms stable, Hanover, Pa, one of the leading outfits cam paigning along the major circuit, Tommy" Berry, a former Massa- chusetts reinsman, is trainer and driver of the string.
 Fast Field
 Three-year-olds seldom are. sent against aged horses of the class 900 is a lot of money these days anu IlO OuS ON NiAS q pdCCA OL SAS caliber of Rip Hanover could af- ford to pass up this rich engage ment. Furthermore, the followers of racing will recall that Calumet Adam 2.00h was only three when he lwon heat in the $25.0O0 Kalamazoo Derby in 1929 only to lose out to May E. Grattan 1.59A after a record d-breaking contest of four heats.
 Last year Rip raced under the name of Calumet Cheater and went through the season unde- feated. After his first two victories his present owners paid Calumet farm $10,000 for him, a record price for a two-year-old pacer. His most important victory of the year was scored in the $1O.O00 Fox stake. richest of all events for ju- venile pacers. and in this classic he reduced the world record for the age and gait to 2.02h. At the close of the racing season lie was set down for reduction of this mark and he amazed the entire harness horse world by tramping mile in 2.00%.
 Any horse that can go in that time as a two-year-old must be given g good chance to hit two minutes at three and, barring acc cidents. the "Rippers" seems cer- tain to achieve this goal. At any rate, he deserves consideration when probable winners of the Parker House stake are being men, tioned. f
 He already had made two starts this year. In his first he waH barely nosed out by Raider. . colt he trimmed decisively when they clashed again . few days later, going one mile in 2.03.

The niblick is the only club that will take ball from 8 half buried position in soft sand.
 To get out of a sand trap. take a stance slightly behind the ball and aim at a point back of the ball. The worse the lie the further back should be the aim. Some- times 1t Is necessary to aim as far as three inches behind the ball.
 A tight grip on the club must be taken. emphasizes Stewart Maiden, Instructor of Bobby Jones. The head must not move and the swing up and down must be up. right and full.
 This is called the explosion shot. The attempt is not to hit the bail but to create such e disturbance that the ball will dislodge from its position in tho sand.
 As in other shots a follow through ls necessary. A ehOppy downward blow, in which tho club. head stops as it hits the sand, can result only in failure.
