SCORE OF 10 TO IA
(By JovE)

FL Fenix defeated the Marines
II to IA in a free hiting-running
diamondball contest last night at
Bayview Park.
Ell Fenix opened the conflict
with a seven-run lead that was
never Overtaken.
The Mariners went into a bat
ting spree In the last inning that
almost resulted in tieing the score.
But Kennedy ended the rally by
popping out to first base with the
bases loaded. They scored eight
times in the ninth round.
Sterling, after seven innings,
gave way to Sevilla, who the Ma
rines found much easier to hit.
Ten Of the fourteen runs made
by the Khaki boys were made off
Seyilla's delivery.
Tomorrow night there will be
game between Ell Fenix and the
Lopez Funeral Home.

AGED LIQUOR SCARCITY WOULD
GREET REPEAL OF AMENDMENT
BY ALEXANDER r. GEORGE
(ly Associated rressD

WASHINGTON. October r.
"There will be plenty of new
American whisky available, but a
pronounced shortage will exist in
the domestic supply of aged
liquor, gwitfi withdrawals soon de-
plotting the comparatively small
stocks of old stuff" b
That is the liquor supply pros
pect, should national prohibition
be repealed, in the opinion of an
expert at the bureau of industrial
alcohol.
If constitutional prohibition is
ended, he looks for production to
be stepped up fast, the large
stores of whisky to be withdrawn
rapidly from warehouses for
blending and quite heavy inn
portations of foreign liquors to
meet the demand.
Most OF Supply Young
Records of the bureau show
there are about 18,s00,000 gal
Ions of whiskey in bonded ware
houses, most of which is relatively
young" liquor. II is estimated
that stocks of whisky four years
old or more-the required age for
medicinal WHISTLES under prohibit
ton regulations-amount to little
more than 1000, 100000 gallons.
A scarcity demand for this
aged whisky has already develop
ed, and it is expected that the A.
100000 gallons would be with
drawn quickly after repeal to be
used for blending and rectifying.
This aged liquor, experts at the
bureau say, could be blended to
produce some 10000, 1000 TO 50,-
100000 gallons of good whisky,
while liquor from two to four
years old or perhaps younger
could be satisfactorily blended TO
produce several million gallons adj
ditional.
DistillinE Plans Extensive
Some large distillers have eyti-
mated that more than 10000. 900
gallons of hard liquor could be
made available quickly in the
United States. They report plans
calling for a productive capacity
of $50, 000.0 900 gallons in 1884
which would be considerably more
than an anticipated consumption
Of from 10000. 900 to 100, 000,-
600 gallons, assuming repeal wins.
Stocks of wine total Is. 000, 900

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WHAT'S WHAT
at the
CAPITAL
oeeeooeooeeeeeoeeoo0o
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(Bx Associnted Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Some
Washington politicians put it down
as more than q mere coincidence
that Pat Hurley was urging nation
al support Of the NRA in WASH
ington on the same night that Jim
Watson Of Indiana was lambasting
the Roosevelt administration in .
speech at Chicago.
Politically speaking, they argue,
things like that just don't happen.
While the secretary Of war in
the Hoover administration and the
former Indiana esnatoE are about
as far apart in their republicanism
as the poles, they are nevertheless
members Of the same party.
According to the best informa-
ton, Il appears that Hurley prom
Used some time ago to speak for
the MIRA. AS far as is known, he
asked nobody's advice on the ques-
ton; nor did he consult anyone as
to what he should say.
II was strictly personal pro-
position with him.
Worrying The Old Guard
When certain elements Of the
republican party became convinc-
ed that Hurley was really going
through with his promise they be-
came alarmed. The Old Guard
never has been quite able to figure
Pat out. II was skeptical this
time.
The situation. from their stand
point, was all the more grave be-
cause he was the first Of the Hoo
yer official family to add his en-
dorsement to the policies of the
democratic administration. What
ever the Old Guard might think Of
Hoover or Hurley themselves. they
felt they ran the risk that the
country might construe Hurley's
utterances as being representative
Of the whole party.
That would have been highly un-
desirable for them.
So. the old wheelhorse Of their
wing of the party was brought out
for the occasion. II didn't par
ticularly matter that the setting
was a rally of local Chicago repub-
Iicans. They knew the Watson
thrusts would find their way to
the front pages. and be compared
with what Hurley had said. the
next morning.
That's exactly what happened.
Three G. o. p. Views

cans.
