LEAGUE GAMES
PACIFIC COAST
BY United Press

Seattle, the Pacific coast IS "mir-
acle team" and the classy Los
Angeles club remained deadlocked
today in first place as result of
victories scored in opening the
eighth week of the split season.
Fay Thomas, leading moundsman
of the circuit, blazed his way to a
7-2 win for Los Angeles over the
Mission Reds, dropping Gabby
Street IS men into a tie for third
with Hollywood. Thomas was in
vincible in the pinches while the
Reds played sloppy ball afield.
Seattle had to work harder for
its win over Portland. All the run
scoring was done in the first three
innings. Mike Hunt IS homer help
ed Seattle to three-run start,
Coscapart gave them another run
with his homer after Portland
scored twice in the third. After
that Caster for the Indians and
Kallio for the losers pitched shut
out ball. The final score was 4-2.
Hollywood started the week with
81 win over the San Francis
CO Seals, old Tom Sheehan getting
credit for the victory. The Stars
drove Leroy Hermann, Seals ace,
from the mound.
Sacramento hit timely to ring up
a GA win over Oakland. HartWig
gave only four hits but had to be
replaced by Salvo in the ninth to
insure the Senators win.

It was the third time this sea-
son the Deans had kicked over the
traces, but nothing quite SO spec
tacular has been recorded in, or
against, their favor. They were
fined for refusing to make a trip
to Detroit for an exhibition game

CORBETT WINS
OVER WALKER

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15. UP)
Young Corbett III, Fresno, Calf,
left-hander who once held the
welterweight crown was established
today as a contender for the mid
dleweight title by a 10-round de
cision over Mickey Walker, fading
New Jersey bulldog, at Seals stad-
ium last night.
In a fight that for the most part
was dull, Corbett proved his super
iority by hard. clean punching
that peppered Walkers jaw and
stomach and drew blood in the
closing rounds. Although Walker
scored the only knockdown with
an overland right in the ninth
round, Corbett speeded up to even
the round and win an undisputed
decision.
The United Press score sheet
credited the dark-haired Italian
with eight rounds, several Of them
very close, and called the other
two even. Corbett fought at 154la
pounds and Walker came in at
15712, his lightest weight in years.
The 12,30o fans who paid $29 ,450
to see the outdoor fight, a feature
of the State American Legion con-
vention sports program, voiced loud
approval when Referee Toby Irwin
raised Corbett's right arm as a
token of victory.
The fight was Corbett's third as
a middleweight. Previously he had
beaten Al Marino and Young Ter
ry, knocking the latter out
Corbett plans to challenge Vince
Dundee, recognized middleweight
titleholder. Walker formerly held
the middleweight crown but gave
it up to fight heavier men.

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Well,
well, well, well. we'll! Look where
we are again. Goshen. They are
going to have the buggywhip
sweepstakes again.
The Hambletonian, which is
scheduled for running at 3 p. m.
today is considered to be the ultra
ultra in the harness racing, but
the sight of Goshen, a little old
town with barely more than a
main street, is uppermost in the
minds of most people who are here.
This little village Slumbers
through IL months Of the year, but
awakens to teeming activity at the
time OF the big meet-and partic-
ularly on the day of the big race.
Then old Doc Letteney's ancient
anvil rings its merry note and the
town bustles into life, and people
go down to the track to watch the
steel-muscled geldingS and fillies,
the sleek black and bay horses and
mares prance over GoShen's IS time
honored turf.
Eight horses are expected to go
today in the richest of harness
stakes, paying about 100000 to the
winner. The favorite will probably
be v. w. Phellis' Emily Stokes, a
bay filly by Spencer out of Min
netonka, whose sire won the 1928
Hambletonian, worth more than
$65 1000.
Fred Egan, who drove Brown
Berry into a $4,000 stumble few
yards frIm the finish last year,
has trained Emily Stokes but the
filly probably will be driven by
Harry Stokes today.
The other entries are Muscletone,
Ella Brewer, Princess Peg, Lord
Jim, Reynolda, Bertha C. Hanov-
er, Vitamine, Calumet, Eric and
Pastime. Princess Peg, a bay filly
owned by the Lyle brothers of
Plainfield; N. j., also has been
trained by Egan.
The railbirds are shy about Mus
cletone, one of the years best cam
paigners, who was expected to be
one of the big favorites.
Doc Parshall trained his horse,
owned by j. B. Schaffer of Lex
ington, Ky. Parshall will drive

BAKERS BLAST
COCA COLAS

Emulating the heroic deeds of

out in front was given a shellack-
ing of base hits and when the

Bakers were credited with an IL

The Coca Colas started scoring
in the first frame, two runs COM

judged fly from the bat of Ted

These two scores looked plenty
big until the fourth stanza. Here
Sid Swanberger who now holds
down the initial hassock for the
Bakers proved himself a hero when
he smacked one of Bob's finest
over the right field fence for a
home run. Neeley was at that time
on base and he trotted home just
ahead of Sid.
This tied up the old ball game
and with Lynn Stewart tighten
ing up after a brief lapse in the
first stanZa it looked like an all
night game, as O'Brien was also
doing his stuff with effect.
However-in the sixth the Bak-
ers put on their first revolution of
the evening netting them four
counters and putting them far
in the lead. Not content with this,
the Breadmakers came right back
in the next inning to add five
more and make their victory a
rout.

Bootleg liquor Of inferior quail.

felt labels, is the latest problem
facing the Government and the
distilled spirits industry.
Information obtained today
from official sources disclosed that
thousands Of complaints have been
received concerning this practice
"a situation that has developed
rapidly since repeal of the Eigh-
teenth amendment December 5.
A nationwide investigation has
been started both by government
authorities and the industry to
check the menace.
Bottles Priced
Junk dealers have been collect
ing empty whisky bottles, from
which the genuine product has
been consumed, and selling them
directly or indirectly to bootleg
gers. This gentry fills the bottles
with cheap imitation liquor, pastes
on a counterfeit label, and dis
poses Of the product in the mar
ket, either with bogus or genuine
revenue stamps.
Officials said the liquor thus
sold looks like the real product,
although the deception may cas-
lily be detected OH consumption.
It was pointed out that the
practice Of counterfeiting labels
was not unknown before prohibi-
ton, but during the Volsteadian
reign the makers Of these labels
"took a postgraduate course" and
became highly proficient in the
art.
Labels Faxed
Since repeal, counterfeiting Of
labels has been worse than be-
fore. There is a definite short
age Of high-grade popular blends.
A particularly serious situation
was said to exist on imported
products.
Immediately on repeal the large
distillers, in order to lessen the
chance Of the sale Of bootleg
products, adopted distinctive bot
ties for their products, into which
the manufacturers designation
was stamped. Some of the bot
ties are of highly artistic design.
It is these bottles which are sell
ing for a premium in bootleg
circles, according to official in
formation.
An outgrowth of the situation
may be recommendations for leg
islation placing a heavy penalty
on the reuse of liquor bottles
and on the countefeiting Of
labels.
