New York, July 14.—That the Brit- i<h would not send a challenging team to this country for several years is tne opinion of Deveraux Milburn captain of the American polo team, who with Louis E. Stoddard, another member of the squad that “lifted” ihe international polo cup at Hurling- lLam last month, arrived home on board the steamship Olympic yester day. Mr. Milburn thought the Brit- ish would make sure they had a team «apable of defeating the Americans tefore making a bid for the trophy.

HOTEL RATES HIGH. Decreased Business Since War Is Given As Reason for Not Lowering Them, Chicago, July 14.—The disappearance of an abnormal volume of business due to the war which made it unnecessary to increase proportionately with costs, was given yesterday in a resolution adopted at the convention of the Amer- ican Hotel association as the principal reason against a general reduction in hotel rates.

ANTI-BEER WARRIOR DEFENDS MEASURES Wayne B. Wheeler Says This Pro- posed Legislation Is Safeguard , for Honest Doctors. ‘Washington, July 14.—Declaring that “the 11th hour rally in the sen- ate to save medical beer as a sub- stitute for booze shows the purpose of the opposition to destroy prohibi- tion enforcement,” Wayne B. Wheel- er, general counsel of the anti-saloon league in a statement today said: “The prcsosed law limiting pre- scription of \alcohol to physicians is a protection to th~t large per cent of the m2aical profession who are true o their iueals.” » “Medical beer,” the statement said, “is 10t recognized in the medical in the profession or in th& prohibition laws of the states,” and the proposed law “penalizes only the guilty.” “The anxiety of the irreconcilable wets like Senator Wadsworth alout bringing prohibition into disrepute with the pending bill fools no one,” Mr. Wheeler continued. “If some of these violent opponents of prohibition thought this bill would accomplish that purpose they would not oppose it. The real friends of the 18th amend- ment are not - disturbed over the enactment of a measure that means honest law enforcement. “There never has been a prohibi- tion law that did not control the prescribing of liquor. These laws have been universally upheld. Experi- ence shows that one doctor in a com- munity may prostitute his profession and become a liquor purveyor and menace the whole community. This is\why the American Medical asso- ciation at its recent meeting in Bos- ton condemned these unworthy mem- bera of the profession.” INTEREST NOT ON WANE President Heydler of National League States That Attendance This Year Exceeds 1920 by 160,000. New York, July 14.—Failure of the Yankees or Giants to draw ca- pacity crowds on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, as happened many times last year v hen the Ruth furore was at its height, and many persons never before attracted to baseball interested, is causing cries of alarm in circles outside the ranks of club owners and major league officials. The charge is made that baseball interest has fallen off until a dangerous stage is looming up in the national sport. Those who have become alarmed over the situation are offering various answers for the alleged lack of inter- est and attendance. Some charge it to the lively ball which the manufac- turers insist is not lively, or, at least, is not changed one iota in make-up as compared with the ball used in the past. Others .mention that 1920 wis an abnorral year, and that the public has become accustomed to Ruth, who was exciting the nation with his feats last year. Some contend that the big fight took the attention of the average fan off baseball, while others mention the gener~l business depres- sion as the cause of the alleged fall- ing off in attendance. As meniioned above, all the cries about poor attendance are coming from persons on the outside. The club owners are making no cemplaints, or at least are speaking in whispexrs if they are not satisfied. President John Heydler of the National league has taken official cognizance of the stories about the falling off in attendance, and he makes the positive statement that his clubs to date have played to 160,000 more people this year than for the same period last year.
