BEER FOLLOWED
BY DROP IN
3. RUM CASES

Less than one per cent of the
usual number Of liquor warrants
have been issued in the District
of Columbia since 80 per cent
beer was made legal, United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turn
age declared today.
The tremendous drop in these
cases has cut the issuance of 80
to loo warrants a week down to
from one to ten a week. Mr..
Turnage said:
81 do not say that this cOndi-
Z ton is entirely due to the large
consumption Of the new brew
but 1t is undoubtedly the larg-
est factor in the decrease of
work in my office.
II believe, however, the fact
that the appropriations for en-
f0rcement of the prohibition
laws have decreased has had
lot to do with it.
10. Work Decrease
more and more the men are
being taken off this work. Then
also, there is no money left to
pay the contact men that the
Government had working max
ing buys. Gradually this work
Is. lessening and if the Eight
eenth Amendment is repealed
my office will have to deal only
with violations of the tax laws"
Mr.. Turnage also said a COM
paratively new angle on punish
ment of liquor violators had been
called to his attention in the past
few months. Under a recent de-
ciSion of the Court of Appeals,
prisoners who have been fined in
the District Police Court have
been able to obtain their release
from sentences in default of fines
after serving 80 days. They are
now allowed to take the paupers'
oath if they are without money.
Many Are Freed
Until recently, however, the
Appellate Court held that the
Police Court judges were in the
right to impose a sentence up to
as high as $50 days in default of
a fine. Under the Federal laws,
however, the District Supreme
court was free to allow release in
cases where a fine was imposed
under the paupers' oath, although
it did not hold good in the lower
court.
Now that this has been changed
the commissioners office has been
swamped with such cases and he
has been releasing as high as
three or four every other day.

the remainder of the way, despite
the fact that he gave up one run

Choosing Up Sides

It was a game of what you
might call spring baseball. In
stead of the world champions
and one of the main contenders
they might have been couple
of choo~,.up-sides teams, hur-
riedly gotten together for a
game at the annual picnic of
the United Garment Workers
of America.
There were all kinds Of
events and it looked like most
anybody could get into the
sport. A track and field meet
couldn't have been more COM
plete. There was throwing
the ball for distance; there
was. knocking it for the same
quality; there was fumbling it
also, and there there were
dash events in which it looked
like the spikes might get in
their work. Umpire batting was
also on tap for those who excel
therein.
It was all in good, clean
fun, however, and the best
thing that can be said for the
matinee is that it was a bright,
sunny afternoon, made to order
to be out-of-doorS and pro-
vided more batting and pitch
ing practice than a lot of teams
get in an entire Southern train
ing trip.
The Washington times., 1933-04-25

And what a pleasing picture.
It clearly brings out that Man
ager Cronin and his men have
finally snapped out of that slump
which domineered their every
move about week ago, when not
only the Philadelphia AS were
defeating them, but the supposed
lowly Boston Red Sox as well.
Against the Yanks Sunday the
Griffs were forced to show their
every ounce of mettle before nos
ing out Babe Ruth and company
by that now weu-knoWn 5-to4
Garrison finish. Yesterday this
mettle continued to spread itself
all over Griffith Stadium as the
YankS, for the second day in a
row, were defeated in another of
those hectic contests, lilo, that
was in doubt until the very last
out.
It took plenty of mettle to bat
down those Yankees yesterday.
They fought, clawed, hit and
pitched every moment in an ef-
fort to land q kill, but the GriffS
matched their every effort and
were rewarded in the end with
the kill themselves, much to the
delight of some $500 fans who
turned out to witness the orgy,
and who went excitedly home to
late dinners because of the length
and breadth of time it took for
that last out to come around in
the ninth.
CrOwder Gets Credit
General Alvin CroWder, ace
right-hander, proved to be the
winning Griff hurler after the
dust of battle had cleared. His
appearance on the mound came
after four others had been given
a shot at tanning those ever.

It tops the former mark, set by

Glass E is limited to bowlers with

Crabbe registered IS pins more

FEATHERS FLY
TONIGHT At

Pete Sarron and Tommy Paul
are ready for the clap Of the
gong tonight at Portner's Arena

classiest fistic attraction of the
current season. The Syrian from
Birmingham is to meet the ex.
featherweight champion of the
world over an eight-round route.
Matchmaker Frank Mann an
gled weeks for this match and
out-foxed two Of the Smartest
promoters in the boxing game to
secure it-Lew Raymond, Pitts
burgh, and Nate Lewis, Chicago.
Mann Beats 'Em to Punch
Lewis admitted he had let the
shot go by him while Raymond,
although he could have obtained
Paul, found Mann had an option
on Sarron'S services when he at
tempted to make the match.
Both gladiators are in tiptop
form for the tuSsle. The distance
is short, but while it lasts the
fur is bound to fly and a knock
out is not improbable.
Before the match, starts Sarron
and Paul will weigh at Riggs
Turkish Bath. Sarron is a trifle
heavy. He is expected to tip the
beam at 1913 while Paul will be
closer to 1875.

VET PITCHER
READY FOR
BIG TEST
Nv GARRETT WATERS

DIV OANnC L w IA G8OG
Being just about convinced that
he can go nine innings and go 1t
we'll, Tommy Thomas, star right
handler of the Griffmen, was to
get a starting assignment in the
Boston Red Sox series at Boston,
beginning tomorrow, Manager
Cronin admitted today.
Whether Tommy will be started
in the first or second game OF
the series, Cronin hasn't decided
as yet, but it'll be before the set
is ended.
The veteran gets his chance at
last because of his very fine ef-
fort last Saturday against the
Philadelphia AS in which he held
the Mackmen at bay after re-
lieving Professor Monte Weaver
in the second inning.
The cold and chilly atmosphere
didn't seem to hurt Tommy in
this contest and because Of this
Manager Cronin believes his
right-hander will be able to stand
the gaff in Boston-gaff meaning
cold weather in this instance.
Cronin also believes he'll turn in
a triumph that'll probably be
much needed against the SoX,
who are proving to be tough Gus
toners Of the first order this
spring.
Chance Worth Taking
Tommy has been nursed along
all this time because of the fear
Of hurting that arm of his, but
at Philadelphia last Saturday the
veteran looked so good that both
he and Cronin feel the chance is
worth taking, particularly if a vic.
tory can be registered at this most
important hour of the campaign.
Thomas turned in several out
of the ordinary triumphs for the
Griffs last season after coming
to the team from the Chicago
White Sox. Later on he hurt his
arm and proved Of no use to
the Griffs during the remainder
of the schedule.
However, he had plenty to do
about Strengthening out this mat
ter during the winter months by
undergoing an operation in the
idea of getting around to nor
malcy again. From all indications
this spring the operation has
proved to be a distinct success
and there is every reason to be-
lieve now-even though he's only
appeared a couple of time on the
mound so far-that he'll enjoy
one Of those ucceSsful cam
paigns known his record sew
eral years ago when he was in
his prime for the Chicago White ."
Sox.
The Griffs face a real drive
for the remainder Of the week,
by the way, prior to taking their
first hop out West for games
against the clubs in the Western
sector Of the circuit.
Big Games Ahead
Today the Yanks are the op-
position in the last game Of a
series at Griffith Stadium which
has been in progress ever since
Sunday. Tomorrow the first Of
a two-game set is begun with the
Boston Red SoX at Boston. Fri

ponents again in two games at

Hits and Runs to Spare

The narrowing details are
printed elsewhere, despite the
fact the official scorer had to
be placed in a strait-jacket no
sooner than he had turned in
the count.
Before the season is over,
both teams will no doubt wish
they had saved some of yes
terday's hits and runs for those
tight games which are surely
ahead when the days get hotter
and longer and the race be-
comes tighter.
And, as we say, with so much
happening for the price of one
admission, including 81 runs
and "a hits, all in a single per-
formance, it is only reasonable
to expect that today the boys
will settle down to one Of those
real close days when a base on
balls will constitute a batting
rally.
