'NIPPERS' AT GAMES
FACE HEAVY FINES
A. B. c. Board Gets Complaints
About Heavy Drinking at
Athletic Events.

Policemen assigned to the lob Of
maintaining order at local football
games will sharpen their lookout for
the tell-tale bulging hip and the too
vociferous grandstand quarterback as
the result Of numerous Complaints re-
ceived by the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board against drinking at such
events
In issuing this warning yesterday,
Chairman George w. Odutt Of the
A. B. c. Board explained that under
the A. B. c. Act. drinking in public
places such as streets, highways and
at large gatherings" is punishable by
heavy fine. He said the situation
had not yet become serious" but that
sufficient complaints had been reg
istered to cause tightening up in en-
forcement.
At the same time, Mr.. Offutt an
nounced that licenses for restaurants
and retail liquor dealers are receiv-
able after October /. He said no
money need be inclosed with the
license application, but expressed the
hope every one will apply as soon as
possible in order that time will be
left for ample hearings for those
dealers who have been blacklisted.
Mr.. Onutt said two or three" res
taurants would be denied licenses this
year because Of the way they had
been conducted and that nearly q
dozen others we're under observation.
Mr.. Ofutt said that this year all
licenses will be mailed out instead
Of being issued at the District Build
ing. This step was taken. he said
to avoid recurrence of the near riot
which occurred on the final day for
applications for licenses last year,
when it was necessary to call out
police in order to keep order.
