All games played throughout
the Attn of July will he counted
on the first half. Some of the
teams will have nlav q II ame
while others will have played
only 10. Fletcher will have play

10th game after July 18th if 1t Is
necessary. But after each team
has played 10 games the team
having the highest percentage
will be the winner of the first
half.
A correction - An error was
made somewhere in East Flat

lished in The TimeS-News last
week. Roland Hendricks average
was the lowest of the team when
he is one of the leading hitters
on the team. His average is
about 400.
Pace of Saluda, and Corpening
of Mills River, both tried the
iron-man stunt at Mills River
Saturday afternoon. The result
was a to victory for Pace in
the first contest and 3 to 2
victory for Corpening in the sec

That's a fair example of why big

PHILADELPHIA

Crime conditions in Philadelphia
are better since prohibition repeal.
Law enforcement authorities and
social workers say that, while there
has been an increase in arrests at
tributed to drinking liquor over 1888,
this is Offset by improvements due to
substitution Of legal sales of liquor for
the former bootleg trade.
There are fewer deaths and less ILL
ness from drinking because Of the
purity of the liquor sold by the Penn
sylvania State store system, but, Of
course, bootlegging has not, by any
means, been eliminated, because the
undercover purveyors sell their inferior
product at less than State store prices,
which include heavy tax.
One crime problem resulting from
repeal is the tendency of former boot
leggers to go into other "rackets," like
gambling and narcotic drugs.
The Pennsylvania liquor laws. en-
acted with repeal. have brought about
virtual re-establiShment of the old
time saloon, but the condition is su-
perior to that of prohibition days,
when numerous speakeasies thrived.
The principal difference between the
preprohibition and present saloon is
that the latter must be equipped as a
restaurant or be a part of a hotel,
with accommodations for serving
meals to not less than 40 persons at
one time. although patrons are under
no obligation to purchase food.

ST. LOUIS

The first year of repeal in st. Louis
showed decline in the number of ar
rests for drunkenness and kindred Of
fenses, including liquor law violations
Not only was the number of arrests
far below the total for the preceding
year, but 1t was also considerably
smaller than the normal for the entire
prohibition period.
Arrests for driving while intoxicated
showed the lowest ratio Of increase.
Arrests for drunkenness in the first
nine months Of this year totaled 7,173,
compared with 11,572 for all of 1888.
Chief Of Police Mccarthy said, "I
think one Of the principal reasons for
decrease in drunkenness arrests Is the
ease with which liquor can be obtained
legally. Crime conditions are much
better in st. Louis under repeal"
There are now about 1890 liquor
licenses in force in st. Louis, of which
about 200 are for the sale Of liquor by
package exclusively.
One of the chief detriments to retail
liquor sale by licensed establishments
is the competition of 80 per cent beer
taverns, which sell hard liquors il
licitly. The legislature which meets
in January will be asked to pass a law
to make this type of evasion impossible.
In the st. Louis area, the bootlegging
industry is still active, with the law
violating beer taverns as its principal
outlet.

series for first lieutenant, 80 series for
captain, etc., the War Department

the Reserve officer concerned to ap-
pear before an examiner as provided
in paragraph Sc of Army Regulations
l40-5. Determination of the exemp-
tions granted by completion Of the
series of subcourses is administratively
accomplished by the Reserve officers
unit instructor.

test in all necessary subjects and been
issued certificate by the examiner,
the officer then applies for the prac-
tical test. This is practical demon
Stration, before a board Of officers, Of

unit appropriate to his grade and as
signment. His appearance in person

withstanding any exemptions granted

sive), Army Regulations No. 140-5. An
exception to the above method Of Sc
curing a certificate of capacity is
made in the case Of second lieutenants
who are graduates of a senior unit Of
