happen is moving the so-called
sound money groups to a union
of opposition against the President.
Meanwhile. there seems to be a
general agreement of the return TO
the old gold standard. AS is gener-
ally the case. there will probably
be some compromise between the
conflicting desires or the rabid In
~flationists and the conservative
gold crowd. In fact, many believe
that out of the antagonistic polio
les, the President will be able 10
formulate a monetary policy that
will secure the support OF Con-
gress.
Those who expected that the re-
peal OF the Eighteenth amendment
would prevent the Federal govern
ment from exercizing any authority
over the liquor business are DOOM
ed to disappointment. Under the
powers conferred by the farm relief
bill and the MIRA there will be the
closest sort of control over the
manufacturer and distribution OF
hard liquors and. to a lesser degree
over beer and wines. with the full
powers OF the government used to
protect dry states and with some
quota system to regulate imports
from abroad.
Acting under a code for the iiq-
uor industry. the government will
dominate domestic manufacture
and importation and the Board of
Control will have the power OF life
and death over any distiIling unit.
With the probability that repeal
will soon become effective. some at
is being paid to control
plans in various states. There is

Ordinarily any decline in the larcenous habits of the citizenry may be considered perfectly proper cause for satisfaction, but, being curious to learn the reasons for a rather marked drop in base-steal- ing this spring, I sought out Ben Chapman for some explanation
 Alabama Ben, as you probably know, has led both major leagues for the past two seasons in the matter of grand larceny on the base paths. He stole 61 in 1881 and 38 last season, but in the first month of the current campaign he was tied for, the American League leadership with only three stolen bases, causing Babe Ruth, who was sitting on the bench at the time, to remark:
 ".Shucks, I'm only two behind the leader, then, myself"
 This crack recalled that the Babe had startled the onlookers early in the season by 'dashing" for clean steal of second base. In the game following our conversation, Ruth again pulled a surprise by easily

just as tough for me as they can. That's all part of the game, but I will grab a few more bases just as soon as the track dries out. I'm not a imud-runner, you know.
 Another thing: it isn't always the best strategy to try to steal second, unless the game is so close that one run is needed badly With a good hitter up, the advantage of getting from first to third on a single or scoring from first on a double has to be taken into con- sideration."
 Meanwhile George Davis, fleet outfielder of the Giants, doubled Chappie's first month collection of stolen bases and promises to give his metropolitan rival a real race for the 1883 championship.

turned the subject to Ruth and hitting. The Babe is still using an eye-wash to keep his sights cleared He denied briskly the rumor that he was becoming a trifle astigmatic, blaming the weather and his con- tinued laryngitis for failure to hit up to usual proportions.
 "Gehrig and I together averaged only about .230 on our western trip" admitted Ruth, but don't let that worry you. AS soon as it warns up we will get going and pin back the ears of some of these pitchers who have been going SC good.
