Speaking of Sports The Firpo-Downey affair was just “another one of those things" which are killing the game, The promoters weére well aware that a prize fight could not be held under the laws of Indiana, but proceeded to collect the hard-earned money of the proletariat under falee pretenses. Reform must come from within er one of the most interesting sports on the calendar will go into the discard. Promoters and boxers will soon be working for a living like the rest of us common folks unless they change their ways and give the public a square deal, Baseball runs strong in the Burkett family. Jesse is managing the Wor- cester team in the Eastern league and his son, Howard, is playing shortstop for Spartanburg in the South Atlantic league. Contributors to the sporting page .are asked ‘to verify their statements before they send them to this office. The sporting editor was informed in writing yesterday that the Fafnirs and Dragons would play today. After the sporting page had gone to the press- room, the contributor asked to have the item omitted. But it was too late. Consequently ball fans were misled by the misinformation.

FEDERAL OFFICERS INREVOLVER FIGHT Bootleggers in Jersey Fire at Pur- sters—Many Liquor Cases New York, Aug. 18.—Federdl Pro- hibition officials and policemen were fired at in New Jersey yesterday by bootleggers who tried to prevent the seizure of fiv trucks loaded with beer on the way here from Philadelphia. Police seized three trucks between Metuchen and Perth Amboy after a| battle with bootleggers on seven other trucks which escaped. Two other trucks were taken between New Brunswick and Highland Parki by Adrian G. Chamberlain, State Pro- hibition Director, who said bootleg- gers in an automobile fired revolver shots. i Three prisoners were taken by the| policemen. Mr. Chamberlin captured | only one. The driver of the second | truck seized by him escaped as he was making the other arrest. The men in the automobile also escaped. Looking for Truc Chief of Police Tonneson led the squad of policemen who set out early yesterday to capture a caravan of ten beer trucks on their way to the Pgrth Amboy ferry for Tottenville, 1, After the revolver battle on the road all but three of the trucks turned out of the expected route and escaped.

The prisoner said he was William Wagner of this city, but refused to give his address. When Wagner was searched he had a loaded revolver in his possession, according to the Pro- hibition officials.

If you let down on London a rain of hell, killing and maiming our people and destroying our great capital, we shall do the same to your Paris.” Put bluntly, starkly, without any diplomatic or parliamentary soft soap, that is the real meaning of the various recent moves of the British govern- ment .and of the more or less silky speeches made by British cabinet min- isters, who protest’ that in enlarging| Britain's air arm they haven't the| slightest fear or suspicion of future trouble with their dear ally, France. England's first scare came last win- in parliament elicited the following: That France then had 140 squad- rons of nine machine each—1260 in all. Only about 20 squadrons were abroad. The rest were on service in France, Half were bombing squad- rons and the other half fighting and reconnaissance squldrom. That England then had 32 squad- rons in all. The nominal strength be- ing 12 machines to the squadron, but there were only 371 machines on ac- tive servicé. Of these, many were in foreign lands or attached to the navy, and there weer only five for home de- fense, of which only one squadron consisted of bombing planes. In re- sponse to agitation on the subject, it was agreed to increase the air strength by 15 squadrons. Despite all the mystery stories printed every once in awhile in Brit- ish newspapers, a man connected with the British air ministry, told me there had really been no epoch-making dis- coveries in military aviation since the war. He said the main developments, both .in British and French aviation, were four: First—Greater speed, longer flight CHIS BESSON H TO WRECK A BATTLESHIP.

FROM WHITE HOUSE Wife of Deceased President Leaves Former Home Washington, Aug. 18.—Quietly and almost unnoticed, Mrs. Florence Kling Harding last night left the White House, never to return except possibly a8 a guest. A little before 6 ning an automobile drew up to the north portico. It had waited for more than half an heur when anoth- er, bearing the coat of arms of the president of theé United States, drove up and from it stepped Mrs. Coolidge, the new first lady of the land. She passed within the mansion and it was balf an heur later and almost dark before thére was another sign of ac- tivity. Two secret servicedmen, the one who has been assigned to Mrs. Hard- ing from the time her late husband was elected president, and the one de- tailed to attend Mrs. Coolidge, came out and then in came Major Ora M.

Althoygh the White House is in readiness for them, President and Mrs. Coolidge do not expect to take up their residence there before the middle of nekt week. President Coolidge is not inclined to be superstitious but something oc- curred last night when he and Mrs. Coolidge went to the White House to call on Mrs. Harding that he regard- ed as a good omen.
