 Harrisburg, Pa. = (UP) = The rigid Sunday Blue Laws" which hae insured the solemnity of the Sabbath in Pennsylvania since their enactment by the Colonists in 1794, are expected to be modi- fled this fall by tn descendants of those early settlers.
 Cities, towns and communities were authorized by the last state legislature to decide for themselves whether to permit baseball and fotball games on Sunday after moons. The majority of voters, 1t is believed, will favor the Sunday sports.
 A Radical Departure.
 In a state where 1t once was considered illegal for a man to kiss his wife on Sunday, the move for legalizing sports is considered a radical departure from tradition.
 The concession was won only after hard fight with arguments for Keeping the faith of our fore afthers." The referendum bill was passed by the house of represen- tatives by vote of 126 to 76, af- ter bitter argument. It was first defeated in the senate, but on re- consideration it was passed with a three-vote margin. Numerous oth- CT measures intended to legalize outdoor relaxation on the Sabbath

MINNEAPOLIS, May 30.-If tht magnates will hark to Johnny Ev- CTS he'll speak little piece about what's the matter with baseball and he won't charge for it.
 Too many calamity howlers and too much high hating is his sum- mary, spoken during flaming bee when Johnny was here to look over Joe Mowry, sensational young Min nSapoliS outfielder, who was bought by the Boston Braves.
 Sure there are some things wrong with baseball today" asert- ed the keystone of the old Tinkers- to Evers to Chance combination now a scout for the Braves.
 ITO my way of thinking there are too many calamity howlers among the leaders in the game. h. stead of trying to find ways of at tracting customers, they are moan ing to each other They should be thinking of stunts and ideas"
 After the war, Every said, base ball leaders and players went high hat" with the leaders deciding they wanted a lot of nice boys with culture in their teams and players who didn't chew tobacco" "
 "They weren't selling the game at all. Ball players today haven't the game uppermost in their minds. They don't really crave the game as in the old days. They aren't selling the sport to the public as we Used to-"

JIM M'LARN|N
 KNOCKS YOUNG C0RBETT COLD
NEW CHAMPION

LOS ANGELES, Cal. May 30.- Tradition held true to form here last night when Jimmy McLarnin, Irish youth of Vancouver, B. C., crashed Young Corbett III, into an astounding knockout after two min utes and thirty seconds of fighting in the first round of their scheduled ten-round fight here for the worlds welterweight champion ship
 Young Corbett was at a loss aft e. the brief fight to know just what happeed to him. T don't know what happened" said the Fresno southpaw 'I don't know how he hit me or what I did after that"
 McLarnin, modest as usual, said: T just saw an opening and took advantage of it. figured it would be a tough battle. It surely looked that way for two minutes. I'll be ready shortly to meet any challeng- CT my manager picks"
 For the first two minutes of the fight, Corbett confused McLarnin with sharp jabs and two jolting blows. His deceptive southpaw style had the Vancouver Irishman bothered
 Suddenly McLarnin landed a ter rifle right hand flush to Corbetts jaw. The champ went down, but did not seem badly hurt. He was up at the count of nine.
 McLarnin's easy smile was re- placed by look of grim determi- nation He looped in left and then two more left hooks with lightning like speed Corbett went down again and McLarnin trotted to a neutral corner. Corbett was on his feet again at the count of eight. With another battering right, McLarnin sent him sprawling through the ropes, half out of the ring. This time Corbett was out for good
 McLarnin swung into his famous cartwheel as he was given the championship.

REPEAL WITHOUT CONTROL

Maine has Joined he parade OF states which is NOV

States is face to face with the need of new de-
enses against invasion by one of its oldest enemies

which should cause the most concern at this time
It is the fact that while the prohibition law is in
process Of being abandoned. apparently little
thought is being given to the problem Of protect
Ing the public from the inevitable results of this
rejection.
I Is time some gestures in the direction of liquor
control we're being made by those who contributed
mucA to a so-called temperance prohibition cam
p&ign. That the gestures may not be impressive
enough TO attract attention should not surprise
many. Attention should not De led away from the
fact that some peoples sincere desire for reform
IS not the only motive underlying the assault on
prohibition. Many of its most active enemies were
actuated by the hope of profits from the sale OF
liquor
Enthusiasm of those who want to sell and those
who want to drink liquor should not be allowed
to obscure the fact that only one side of 'prohbi
ton reform is 50 far being accomplished The
other side-the side which sincere citizens who
voted wet hoped to aids getting 'woefuly little
attention. Among states recently declaring for re-
peal are some that were dry strongholds in the
past. Perhaps from these will come the much
needed impetus toward adequate liquor control

Wandering thoughts about
Wynne Gibson
If she hadn't been squelched
as a kid, she would have been
one of those child prodigy pests.
She always was wanting to re-
cite.
She has a dog named Skipt It.
And is still wondering whether
she likes the stage or screen best.
Wynne goes in for liquid break
fasts-orange and tomato juice,
that is. Says it keeps the vita
min situation in hand. Her eyes
bother people because they can't
determine whether they're blue,
gray or green.
She's never overcome a sup
pressed desire to play Little Lord
aunt!eroy. She thinks Mare
DRESSER elegant. Salads are her
luncheon diet. She is enthusiastic
over her current RIO picture,
"Aggie Applebv, Maker of Men"
despite the fact she suStains
many bruises in it. Waste hair
pins and PAPER clips bother her.
Her favorite dish has a IOrdly
sourd: Zuccini an casserole. She
used to pose for magazine COW
ers. Her real name is Wynne
Gibson.
She likes New York cut steaks,
her horse edible" and dislikes
rude golfers. She ping-pongS and
spends off hours reading her ia
vorite authors, Shakespeare and
o Henry. Those who bang doors
and dishes have no chance win
ming her friendship.
She collects little images Of
dogs and says she is going TO
have petrified dog some day if
her luck holds.
\ native Of New York city, she
is a believer in the Don't-W Worry
Everything-Will Be All Right
school. Loud voices make her
want to out-loud them. She has
a yen to own a show-horse stock
farm.
As a youngster Wynne played
lot of basketball. She raves
about George Arliss on the stage.
