THE ghost of a tight Tipped old
Il man, familiarly pictured in
plug hat and frock coat. was laid
today in a dingy office in the Board
Of Trade building.
Without benefit of clergy and
with only handful OF mourners,
the old gentleman who has
haunted indianapolis and the rest
of the nation for twelve years was
inferred by the voters of Indiana
after an overwhelming wet vote.
In the Office of the allied dry
forces. three women and two men
formed the mourning group. The
chief priest of the dry cult, Harvey
Hartsock, led the requiem.

A dead silence greeted his effort

The telephone rang consistently;
dry field workers turning in dis

an upset by joining the prohibition

1t 1t was evident few hours
after the polls opened that Marion

vote for repeal, the size of the total
vote was surprising to many, who
did not believe the issue would at

In the Fifth precinct Of the Sixth

ratification. That precinct, located
near Camp Sullivan, was the first
to report officially to the canvassing
board.
Both the far and near north side
communities returned a landslide
victory for repeal.
The south side went for repeal
by an even larger margin, the drys
obtaining less than a half dozen
votes in some precincts.
One of the heaviest repeal votes
was cast in Woodruff Place, Twenty

Cant Be Stopped

It is his belief that if the
early enthusiasm displayed by
the players doesn't sag as the
season goes coursing down
through the summer, no power
In the world can keep them out
Of the forefront of the race.
Beales quotes Manager Joe
Cronin as having told the Biloxi
Chamber of Commerce, at a re-
cent banquet, that Washington
had the team to win and that
If the club didn't cop the pen
nant, the members of the club
would have none but themselves
to blame.
"Give us a four-game lead"
Cronin said, land they'll meet
such a fighting club as they've
never seen in this league since
It was organized 33 years ago."
Such is the impression of the
1888 Griffmen brought back to
civilization by, as we say, the
first eyewitness to reach the
National Capital and young
Beales' viewpoint will have to
suffice until the team itself re-
turns to take up its local exhi-
bition schedule three weeks from
tomorrow against the Boston
Braves,

will, in all probability, be carried

tive paths, they promise to con-

Possess Mental PoiSe
Both possess the mental poise
that make great hurlers, and this
coupled with their natural ability,
is attracting attention their way
more and more as each day
dawns. Too, they are anxious
to learn every new trick in the
trade and the things they don't
know about pitching, they ask,
much to the delight of the wiser
heads who are always glad to
lend helping hand.
Linke is the larger lad Of the
two, as he weighs inthe neighbor-
hood of 200 pounds. This, he
says, is his normal pitching
weight, but he has been trying to
work off several pounds because
he realizes that he'll be aided by

NE|GHBORHOOD
RIVALRY At
PORTNER'S

The wolves will be fed tonight
at Portner's Arena and their fis-
tic tastes satisfied when Henry
Irving is hauled in to do business
with Young Van, otherwise War
rem Van Solver, over an eight
round session.
Backed to the limit by their
supporters, these two local middle
weights are expected to provide
one of the most exciting battles
staged at the Alexandria punch
bowl. Not that it will be a smart
fight. 1t doesn't figure to be. It
figures to be more of a dog fight.
But when Northeast and South.
west clash, there is always action.
So if Van and Irving fail to give
to the customers, the inhabitants
of Northeast will be giving the
raZz to Southwest, and vice versa.
Everything Even
All things will be even when
the two rivals go to the post.
There is practically no difference
in the weight, and both have had
three weeks to get into perfect
shape.
Irving, a murderouS puncher,
is the favorite due to his expert
ence and opposition he has faced
in previous bouts. If the battle
goes the route, critics are select
ing Van.
The Southwestern doesn't catch
so very we'll as was evidenced
by the fact that Sammy Britt
twice spilled him. However, he
came back to knockout Billy Yer

Van carries plenty of dynamite
in a right hand. He throws it
we'll to the body as well as to
the head. Irving, on the other
hand, is as good a body puncher
as he is a head fighter.
Appear in Semi Final
Stumpy Jacobs, Hopewell flash,
and Roy Manley, a Harry Groves
junior welterweight, tee off in the
semi-final. Manley is rugged and
should provide plenty of opposi-
ton for the Virginian.

Golf Revival
Looms for
District
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

In spite of the desire of some
clubs to retrench, a revival of tour
nament golf in the District is on
its way today.
This happy tone was the key
note of the annual meeting Of the
Mems District Golf Association
last night. Surprisingly, espe'
cialIy in the face of the present
economic strife, we're the number
of clubs willing to put on an invi-
tation tournament.
In fact, five member clubs will
sponsor such events. These are
the Manor Club, Chevy Chase, Co.
lumbia, Congressional and Indian
Spring. Only one Of this number,
Chevy Chase, held an invitation
event last year.
Besides, the District amateur
championship has been consigned
to Indian Spring and the national
open tests to Manor Club. Also
the Maryland amateur, for the
first time in its history, will be
held at Indian Spring, the dates
to be named later. The national
amateur qualifying tests will also
be awarded a local club.
