PROHIBITION REPEAL

The congress Of the United States in
answer to demand from the people that
could not be ignored, has at last voted to
repeal the Eighteenth Amendment and the
repeal is now up to ratification by the
states.
AS soon as thirty-six states have rati-
fled it, the Twenty first Amendment to the
Constitution will be in effect
The only effect of the new amend
ment will be to repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment and incorporate in the con-
stitution of the United States a provision
that under no circumstances can liquor be
shipped into a state whose laws prohibit
it's use. There is already a law on the
statute books of the United States covering
this point. The only additional effect of
the new amendment is that it will prevent
the repeal of the present statute.
But nobody except the bootleggers
wants to ship liquor into dry states and
few days more or less mean nothing to a
bootlegger
Upon the ratification of the Twenty
first Amendment, all prohibitory laws
based on the Eighteenth Amendment will
be without federal support or sanction.
Ratification of the repeal amendment
will probably come as quickly as did the
vote to repeal. The country is anxious to
get the matter decided and bring things
back to normal. The people of the various
states are in no hestant mood.
There will be little patience with pro-
hibition advocates who attempt to block
the path. There is an authorization for
conventions in the United States Constitu-
ton itself.
The courts will doubtless uphold the
legality of joint resolutions of the state
legislatures creating and providing the
machinery for these conventions.
What the Federal Constitution creates
by implication the various states can surely
create by legislation and in an emergency
our courts have always found a way to
register their approval of action that solves
vexing problems.
The states will ratify the repeal
amendment in jig time.

EARNEST YOUNG PEOPLE

In spite of all the loose talk and writ
ing about the wild youth of the present
day, recent statistics from the Bureau of
Education indicate that the percentage of
earnest young people is still very high.
These statistics show that one-half of
the young men and one fourth of the young
women in the colleges and universities of
the United States are earning their school
ing in whole or in part through working
outside of school hours. In one year more
than $50, 900, 600 was earned by the labor
OF students.
Among the part time jobs held by
students are office work, automobile re-
pairing, speciality selling, teaching. hotel
and summer resort employment, household
service, farm work and other activities.
In the face of such a showing as is
being made, it can hardly be maintained
that the young generation is as frivolous
as its critics would have us believe.

ROWING ADDED
To REGATTA

Many of Americas greatest
oarsmen, as we'll as the leading
canoe racers of the nation, will
appear in the Presidents cup re-
gatta, September %, 20 and 80,
according to j. w. Burch, of the
Potomac Boat Club and former
commodore of the American
Canoe Association, who is chair
man of the aquatic sports divi-
sion for the big regatta.
Rowing and canoe racing con-
stitute a new division of the ia
nous regatta and add materially
to interest in the regatta which
is hailed all over Washington as
one of the city's greatest civic
events.
In arranging for the rowing and
canoeing contentious, Burch will
have the assistance of A. Earle
Weeks, president of the Washing
ton Canoe Club; Granville Guide,
president of the Potomac Boat
Club, and Louis v. Bell, of the Old
Dominion Boat Club.
In his first report to the Presi-
dents Cup Committee, Burch
yesterday said:
Thursday, September 28, or
dinarily is late date for the
sports of rowing and canoeing
in this latitude, but interest in
these events as part of the
Presidents Cup Regatta is
growing among interested clubs,
both nearby and distant. How
ever, the course for these races,
lying in the steamboat channel
on the east side of Hains Point
is an ideal one from the view
points of spectators and con-
testants. The water is well pro-
tected from winds, with prac-
tically no current and with
deep water in every course. 1t

be one of the finest in the

FALLING STARS
FACE TRADES
NEXT SPRING

The baseball disappointments Of
1888 are in many instances slated
to call for a new deal not later
than next. spring.
Several OF the boys who were
expected to fill the headlines this
year are almost forgotten men.
Others have been doing fairly
we'll measured by ordinary stand
ards, but have fallen far short Of
what was expected of men who
have attained the rank of STAR
dom.
O'DOul Below
Mel OFT, of the Giants, for in
stance, is fielding we'll and hitting
fair enough for an ordinary man
but is far below his mark Of
former years. Lefty O'Doul, who
twice led the National League in
hitting, once with almost a 400
average, is far below 300. John
son of the Athletics was touted as
a wonder by so great an authority
as Connie Mack and he was living
up . Mack's estimate until the
pitchers discovered a certain weak
ness and thereafter his average
began to shrink.
Anyone who had said last spring
that LloyG Waner of the Pirates
would be benched before the
season was half over would have
been rushed to an observation
ward but there he is-warming

Babe Herman of the Cubs, Jim
Bottomley of the Reds and several
others are hitting far beow what
the fans thought they would hit.

League last season, and Hayworth

their normal standard.

The Millers captured the title
last Sunday by nosing out AL
Clark's sturdy collection of STAN
ton cleaner ball players, 1 to o,
after a torrid battle.
Play Strong Opponent
The champions will run into
stiff competition the approaching
Sunday when they lock horns
with the capable DORA nine.
"Specs" Medler, Maryland Uni
versity pitcher and famous for
his ability to pitch no-hit games,
will mount the hill against the
Millers. In retaliation the Furni-
ture team is sending Harry Mil
burn, another Old Line pitcher,
to hurl opposite Medler.
Milburn was the moundsman
who blanked the Stantons last
Sunday, besides that he has
hurled great ball for the Millers
all season. Manager Curtin will
have his boys do a lot of batting
practice as they have not been
hitting like a championship team
should. Great pitching and
splendid fielding enabled the team
to win the title.
Curtin Modest
Mr.. Curtin is a very modest
young man. Fred Eisinger, ex-
cellent sandlot editor of the Daily
News, wrote an interesting yarn
how "Cac" practically organized
the Stanton Cleaners and made
them championship contender,
and how he was doing a wonder
full job with the Millers.
Curtin wrote back and said that
he didn't have anything to do
with the rise of the Stantons, but
Al Clark, former Mohawk star
should be given the credit. He
also stated that the players won
the championship for the Miller
outfit and not him.
You're a good manager Mr..
"Cac" Curtin even if you don't
like to be called that.
