POLLARD SNUBS
BEERPET|T|ON

RICHMOND, Va, March 81
Virginia officialdom learned for
mally that at least $4,000 residents
of the Old Dominion want beer.
A small group entered the re-
ception room Of Governor John
Garland Pollard's office, one of
the party carrying a large bundle
of paper. A spokesman said:
"GovernOr Pollard, we wish to
hand you the beer petition, Of
which we know you have heard
q great deal. These contain
$4,000 signatures Of citizens in
many parts of Virginia"
Mrs. H. Goodwin Jones handed
the papers to the governor, who
scanned the pages, each headed
with the demand for legalization
of malt beverages in Virginia.
Then he said:
'YOu have placed me in the
position of refusing the request
of a lady,"
Walter Kirsh, leader Of the beer
campaign in Richmond, told the
governor that the petitions con-
tanned $4,000 signatures and rep
resented the views Of citizens Of
Richmond. Roanoke, Danville,
Lynchburg, Ashland, Fredericks-
burg, Hopewell and Petersburg.
Thus ended the Virginia beer
petition campaign in most Sec
tions Of the State, one week to
the day after it started. The
organizers set out with a goal of
100000 signatures and ended UP
$4,000 signatures short.

Baltimore citizens are not

The youthful robber, armed

when his third victim informed
him that all she had was q

Fishing Is Retarded

The Ike Waltons of Washing
ton, who number thousands, are
going around these days with
long faces. The five-day weeks
and other forms of unemploy-
ment have given the average
angler more time to fish than
in any spring of recent years,
yet the rains have almost can
celed the fresh-water season so
far.
Normally, white perch fishing
and the snagglng of herring is
in it's prime as April draws to-
ward an end, but much of
April has provided moth
ing but muddy and high water
therefor. Several runs of perch
have spawned down the river,
instead of coming farther up
where normally there is enough
shallow and clear water for
such purposes.
A fish would no more spawn
in muddy water than you'd
think of sleeping in a room with
all of the windows closed, as
fish must have their oxygen
the same as humans. Usually
the perch fishing proceeds the
rock fishing hereabouts, but
when the waters clear more,
both species will be in the upper
as an occasional shad. .

tainly obeyed orders to the letter
so far, if TUESDAYS riot between
the Yanks and Griffs at Grif-
fifth Stadium, and the recent
Hornsby-Grimm episode at st.
Louis means anything.
Just what sort of an order the
two officials will write next is
not known, but it's pretty safe
contention that they'll do all
they can to curb further free-for-
alls in order to keep baseball the
grand old game it is instead Of
one big boxing match.
Rip-SnOrting Start
No matter what they do now,
the good old season of 1888 can
! be said to have gotten off to a
rip-snorting start. There will be
few who'll forget the Griff- Yam
kee affair anytime soon while
it's a sure bet that the fans will
be on edge for some sort of
demonstration between Hornsby
and Grimm for whatever they're
all "het up" about.
Already the teams in the Amer
ican League have begun to pre-
pare themselves for outbursts of
all kinds in the future. Manager
Marty McManus, of the Boston
Red Sox, had a meeting of his
team yesterday and advised them
that they had better become as
aggressive as they could because
the American League race this
year looks as if it was going to
be one of the most spirited in
moons. The Yanks, to be sure,
probably had this same thought
drilled in their minds although
they did not hold a meeting" ."
The Griffs-well, needless to say
they were full of aggressivenesS
today and promised to stay this
way during the remainder of the
schedule.
The Griffs play the Boston
Red Sox here today in a game
which they hope will put them in
winning mood to defeat the
New York Yankees tomorrow and
Saturday. Manager Cronin and
his men were kept from playing
yesterday because of rain. They
leave after today's contest and
will arrive in New York tomorrow
morning.
Large TurnOutS Loom
One of those extra large crowds
is expected at Yankee Stadium to-
morrow. An even larger attend
ance is expected for Saturdays
fracaS.
While the Griffs lowered about
the lobby of their hotel here yes
terday because of the rain, Buddy
Myer had time to express himself
on his run-in with Chapman. He
said:
Myer Tells His Side
"I've got to make my living
at baseball just the same as
Chapman, and 1 gave it to him
Tuesday because he had it COM
ing to him. He spiked me last
year and let him get away
with it. That was late in the
season. He started again early
this year. I don't know why he
should pick on me. I've held
nothing personal against him
and have never tried to harm
him. Yet, he seems to want to
cut me down.
