LATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER| .LAS’;LACN,R':':F:JAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. | THAT SEVENTH INNING SETTLED IT. At the present writing it would seem that the 1920 World's Series was decided in that terrible| seventh inning of Saturday’s game probably the most sensational s! e inning in the history of world championship baseball contests. With a lead of eight to nothing Chicago felt that the cham- pionship contest was tied when the Athletics came to bat in the second half of the ninth inning. Then came the mudering. When the Athletics got through with their half of the seventh the record was 10 runs, 10 hits, no errors. Every one of the ten runs was pounded in. Not one was due to an error for there was none. Four Cub pitchers had been used up. A fifth pitcher was put in to begin the‘ next inning. A well known baseball manager used to say that there were two supreme tests for a perfectly train-! ed team of baseball players. The first was, of course, a team that would develop the fewest and scarcest weak spots in its games. | team that oftenest made the most of the weak spots in the other team when they showed up. Measured |COmposition; seven books of Caesar’s Commentaries; | by the last mentioned fest the teams that played at Philadelphia Saturday are both strong. The Chi- cago pitching staff fell down and the Athletics scored ten runs before they quit hitting. Nearly| every player took a rap at the ball and then trans- lated the hits into runs. Likewise the Cubs counted in runs the two errors the Athletics made. Chicago did the same Thursday. The teams that are contesting for the world's ¢hampionship are both strong and well managed. If they were not they would not be playing in the contest. It is a long and gruelling task to win a pennant and the right to compete in a World Series. No other sport in the world requires so much of making good. THE PRESIDENT AND DRY ENFORCE- MENT IN WASHINGTON. That President Hoover was worsted in the con- troversy that followed his rebuke of Senator Howell for saying that the National Capital was wet and Prohibition was not being strictly enforced in the ! District of Columbia is probably the general verdict. . Senator Howell made his declaration in the feourse of debate in the Senate. He said that it was as easy to get iptoxicating liquor in the Capital | a§ in any other American City. The President in | 'an_authorized statement demanded that he prove {146, "and insisted that he give names, places and |/ dates of illicit sales and use of liquor. i ¥ replying to the President Senator Howell, in a well tempered speech, denied the right as well {iag the taste of the President to demand ’that a | Sen give names, places and dates of law viola- obvious that no Senator could do that and imself a stool-pigeon. It would not only be {supdignified but it would be unfair to good citizens. 'w‘gmtor Howell said, however, that it was un- w‘b}ggry for one to give names, places and dates in order to prove the case. He declared that if the . President really wanted to know about the situation “flé“hflgm read reports of Prohibition enforcement rs which admitted that the law was being d in the District of Columbia and that it “easy to get liquor there. ther Senators, notably Senators Carraway, Tyd- and Brookhart, came to the assistance of Senator Howell. Senator Brookhart did not even &show the sqeuamishness exhibited by Senator Howell ‘and proceeded to give names, places and dates. He related at length the details of a dinner at the Willard Hotel where a dozen or more Senators were present and where liquor flowed freely. The New York World, usually Democratic but an enthusiastic admirer of President Hoover, both before and since election, commenting upon the President’s statement, under the heading, “Much ‘Too Innocent,” said: The President’s statement about Prohibi- tion in the District of Columbia will make many persons feel once again that when he is talking about Prohibition Mr. Hoover's mind does not work with unobstructed effi- clency. For the statement from the White House is written as if Mr. Hoover was sur- prised to hear that Prohibition is not being enforced in the District of Columbia. We cannot really believe that Mr. Hoover is surprised. It is true that the President does not move about very much, but still —one does not have to move about very . much to know that liquor flows quite freely in Washington. ;! The second paragraph of Mr. Hoover's In it present “definite facts, with time and ;fl." to the Department of Justice, he mustn’t comment upon freedom of liquor in Washington. We do not know how Senator ‘ mh'hmthhhlddrued,!eelsabout it, but our very strong impression is that it " has become of the code of a very large ‘number of gen in this lahd, some of not (the tests were equally severe. would afflict modern youths faced with such tests, | | And education, like fashion, has modes. them teetotalers themeslves, i “definite facts, with time and place,” as to drinks they have had or seen their friends have. They would consider it immoral to make such reports, and if Mr. Hoover will ponder the fact that these same gentlemen would instantly report cases of arson, rob- bery, embezzlement or counterfeiting, he will have the clue to the basic cause of the nonenforceability of the Volstead Act. As a matter of fact, so high is our opin- ions of Mr. Hoover's intelligence, we are cer- tain he realizes this quite well, and may even some day say it. Since he must real- ize it, his promise to make the District of Columbia “a model” strikes us as not only a noble but an optimistic experiment. It is strange that no one else ever thought of making the District a model in the coun- try. For when you think of it, what could be more obviously right than to begin en- forcing the law in the city where it was enacted? The personnel of that lobby investigation com- mittee is a guaranty that it will be an active investigation. It is composed of a bunch that will get something on somebody if it is possible to get it. The announcement that the new mill on the Hirst Chichagoff Gold Mining property will be in operation this month means that will again become a shipper of gold. All the Athletics except the pitchers and Pinch- hitter Burns scored in that murderous seventh inn- ing in Shibe Park Saturday. did it twice. Willlingly to School. (New York Times.) As the class of 1933 enters college its members are reminded to what an extent modern practice has robbed education of its former terrors. The pace of the average freshman across the campus no longer bears any relation to that of the snail Education has been made as painless as possible If, in easing entance requirements so as to admit the vast numbers who are now candidates for degrees in America, the college authorities have sacrificed scholarship, they have added to the adol- escent’s joy in life. Addressing the students of Co- lumbia at the formal opening of its one hundred and seventy-sixth year, Dr. Butler reminded them of the gruelling entrance tests of fifty years ago. He was frank enough to say that not only could no member of the present student body meet those tests, but that no member of its faculty could. That does not mean that the human brain is no longer able to grasp such erudition. It is merely a4 comment on the changing standards. In 1879 the Columbia freshman Anabasis; three of the Iliad; Latin grammar and six books of the Aeneid and six orations of Cicero. In history, English, geography and mathematic: “Acute paralysis in Dr. Butler's opinion. But the same condition would probably have afflicted the youth of 1879 |ETPIre: if there had not been unbroken centuries of the so-called “humanities” drilled into their ancestors. It is another instance of adaptability to the mode. The Har- vard freshman of 1879 would have shuddered at the idea of a School of Business, but he was able to endure the thought of being defeated in athletics by Yale. The Harvard freshman of 1920 takes the School of Business in his stride, but when he sings “thrce cheers for Harvard, and down with Yale” he means it with all the fervor of his soul. Dr. Butler did not go into this phase of the development of American education, but doubtless it has manifested itself to him. ’assing of Newspaper Landmark. (Boston Globe.) The passing of the San Francisco Bulletin, which has just been absorbed by Hearst’s afternoon Call, removes from the newspaper field in California a Jjournal with probably a more romantic history than any west of Chicago. The Bulletin was San Fran- cisco's first daily. It was born in the very first days of the gold rush of '49. Its earliest editor was James King of William who was shot and killed on the streets of San Francisco by John Casey, subsequently hanged without ceremony by the famous Vigilantes. The “of William” on King’s name was used by him to distinguish himself from several other “James Kings” in the city’s first rude directory. Many famous newspaper men of the country got their start on the Bulletin. Bill McGeehan, sports expert of New York, once served on its staff. On the Bulletin Katie Thompson wrote her first news story, and there she met Charles Norris and in teking his name discarded her nickname for the Kathleen she was christened. It was in the edi- torial and news columns of the Bulletin that Fre- mont Older started and carried on one of the greatest anti-graft campaigns in the country’s his- tory, resulting in the final arrest and conviction of Abe Ruef, powerful political boss who used Eu- gene Schmitz, the then Mayor, as his tool. Fre- mont Older later turned his editorial influence to pleas for Ruef’s release from prison on parole. The merger of the Bulletin and the Call actually means that Herbert Fleishacker, at present the greatest political influence in San Francisco, has sold his newspaper interests to Hearst. It means, also, that the Hawaiian sugar interests have given up their efforts to figure in San Francisco Jour- nalism. The death of the Bulletin leaves San Fran- cisco with only one locally controlled newspaper-— the morning Chronicle—now owned and published by the children of Mike de Young who, with his brother, Charles, founded it. The other morning paper, the Examiner, is owned by Hearst. The other afternoon paper is the Evening News, a Scripps- Howard newspaper. e R N Hip Pockets Immune. (Ketchikan Crronicie.) Customs officials must stop “frisking” steamship passengers for commercial liquor. So says Assistant Secretary Lowman of the Treasury Department, who asserts that the practice is both “undignified and uncessary.” An order to this effect was issued some time ago, but the hip pockets of returning tourists seem to have an irresistible fascination for the uniformed sleuths who sniff the bottle from afar. At San Francisco, it appears, thé customs inspect- ors have been having all sorts of fun with pas- sengers from the Orient, to the exceeding amuse- ment of crowds of spectators. The Treasury, says Mr. Lowman, is not con- cerned with the comparatively small quantities of liquor that may be brought into the country in this manner. The over enthusiasm of customs officials is no aid to enforcement.

She was almost cry- ing Can you imagine men like that, trying to back out now, after Mr. Columbus has brought them so near to a wonderful, wonderful achievement.” “We won't let them,” the Little Black Clock said, “if it gets that far. But you'll see. so far as that.” The children were very nervous. They heard the sailors talking about Cclumbus, then they heard Columbus urging the sailors to be patient And then they saw birds begin- ning to fly about and the sailors seemed to be a little happier and Columbus much, much happier. Columbus didn’t pay any atten- tion to John or Peggy or the Little Black Clock. It was almost *\s! he had not known they were there. He was watching now, watching ahead. What a resolute expression he had on his face! What marvelous eyes! Suddenly there was a little gleam- ing light! They must be nearing shore, the children thought.
