BALTIMORE, _September 18.— Terming Maryland a “slacker State,” George W. Crabbe, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, declared the organization will renew its fight next January to pass a State enforcement act “Our object in the next Legislature will be the same,” Mr. Crabbe said. “We want Maryland to quit being a slacker State.” Detalls of the bill to be sponsored were withheld, and Mr. Crabbe said no announcement of the league's plan of action will be announced until after the general election in November. e don't want to discuss it yet, We want to wait until after election. Then we will reveal details,” Mr. Crabbe said. At the last Legislature two bills sponsored by the league failed. One was to make sale or possession of in- toxicants in the State illegal. The other was to require State enforce- ment. e RHEUMATISM COST GREAT Society Plans World Survey to Cut Economic Losses. Special Dispatch to The Star. « .

He was great in defeat, vet the fine edge had been taken from his approaching game during the days in which Von Elm was rid- ing easily to preliminary victories | over Watts Gunn, Bobby's Atlanta | chum, and George Dawson of Chi- cago. The man from beyond the Rockies, ving with a barrowed set of clubs use he failed to make his own pond in the qualifying rounds early this week, wielded an unerring putter today. But he was even more marvelous with his approaches. Out- driven from the tee on almost every hole, he laid his second shots so well up wnder the flag that Jones could win only six holes against him. Real Test on 20th. The turning point of the match came on the twenty-ninth green, after Von EIm had become 2 up at the twenty-eighth as the resuit of erratic | fron play by the champion. Here the Pacific Coast player was short with his second, while his chip was 20 feet to the side of the pin. Bobby, six feet from the hole, appeared almost cer- tain of his win, but Von EIm coolly stepped up to the ball and rolled it in for a half, in 4s. It has been said of Von Elm that he could not stand up under fire in a gruelling test. But today he proved at the twenty-ninth hole, if at no other point, that he was made of the mettle of champions—a steel blade which refused to bend under the most cruclal test of his career. “I knew I had him beaten after that putt,” Von Elm declared later, and so it proved. Von Elm Wanes On 32d. Jones went on for one more hole to halve the short thirtieth in 3s, but Von Elm, sensing his victory, pressed on to take the thirty-first, where Jones drove into a brook, put his second is a trap and finally wound up with a 5 to Von Elm's well played 4. With a margin of three holes on the champlon, Von Elm wavered tempo- rarily to take three putts at_ the thirty-second, costing him the hole. Jones once more had Von Elm with- in reaching distance with 2 up. But lingering hope for a finishing rally on the part of the champion was quickly dispelled on the next two holes. Von m held Bobby even with a par 3 and 5 on the next two holes and a smiling Atlantan turned from the cup to shake hands with a new champion. “I have got two scores to settle with Jones today, and he'll have to play better than par golf to beat me,’ said Von Elm as he went to the first tee. Jones’ Lead Shortlived. And Bobby immediately began to do that very thing, sinking a birdie to win the first hole to Von Elm’s par 5. But the iead of Jones was to be a brief one. Von Elm, playing power- fully and accurately with his irons to overcome the superior hitting of Jones off the tee, promptly leveled the count by winning the second as Bobby stray- ed from the line. Von EIm started his drive for victory at the fifth, where he pitched almost under the flag to hold out a birdle 3 and become 1 up. Jones squared it on the next hole, but Von Elm promptly reeled off another birdie at the seventh to obtain a lead which he never thereafter re- linquished during the morning round. Bobby started the afternoon round as he had begun the morning session with a birdie 4 at the nineteenth, the first hole of the course. But Von Elm would let him get no farther. On the next three holes they played stroke for stroke to match the difficult par of the course. Then Von Elm once more dashed ahead with a 15-foot putt on the twenty-third, to sain a lead which he never thereafter relinquished. Tradition Is Upheld. A long record of trlumphs was broken and a 30-year-old tradition sustained in the elevation of Von Elm to the throne, Jones had won 13 successive matches In natlonal amateur championship competition before he squared off against the Los Angeles player today. He had established a qualifying record of 134 strokes in the British open aud then moved on to lead an international fleld in the championship chase. He had topped another great fleld only recently in the subsequent American open. But fate had decreed that he should wot complete his triumphant march with a third national amateur victory, and he fell after a brave effort, even as Jerry Travers, Walter J. Travis and H. Chandler Egan had fallen in the days before his reign.
