Leonard to Face \Y aiker By I vited Press NEW YORK. Aug. 10.—The ghost that is Benny Leonard walks again tonight, this time against one Paulie Walker at Ebbets field, Brooklyn. The former lightweight champion stands to be an even more energetic ghost tonight than he was some ten days ago, when he danced in and out, round and about, to take the nod over that hustling and rugged northwesterner, Billy Townsend. For the victory over Townsend was just what Leonard needed, proving as it did that despite his 36 years he could still step about a bit, still take a punch on the whiskers, and still retained his old cunning. He is a slight favorite over Walker.

Japanese Test U. S. Brilliant Performances Give Orientals Chance to Pass Yanks. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—Japan's brilliant swimming team threat- ! ened to regain its lead over the United States stars in the Olympic tank tests today as the University of California wonder crew faced its j first trial in the eight-oared rowing carnival. The Japanese have three finalists in the day's swim feature, the 400meter free style, and America, currently leading the race for men's swim honors, had but one upon whom to depend. He is Clarence tßuster) Crabbe of Los Angeles. While men and women swimmers continued to record new marks for their specialties, Ky Ebright's crew, winners at Poughkeepsie and in Worcester's trials to determine Americas chief rowing representatives, took the water against star crews from Canada, New Zealand and Germany. Eleanor Holm Stars The Californians were to row in the second heat. The first one will ■ involve crews from Great Britain, Japan, Brazil an Italy. Meantime the many-ringed Olym- ! pic sports circus saw activity in 1 gymnastics, boxing, equestrianship, i yachting and fencing. Two beauteous stars were produced in the women's swimming j championships. They were Eleanor Holm of New York and dimpled and ! smiling Clare Dennis of Sidney, Australia. Miss Holm, America’s best and neatest in the cacr; s-.o—, u. ■ lished anew world and Olympic mark of 1:18.3 in winning her heat jof the 100-meter swim. Miss Dennis j brought the 200-meter breast stroke title to Australia by a games’ record 3:06.3 performance. Japan’s swimming stars put on a great show in capturing the 800meter relay. The Japanese made a new Olympic record of 8:58.4 while finishing between eight and ten feet ahead of the United States quartet. Japan’s time was nearly thirtyeight seconds ahead of the record made in 1928. Japanese Ace Leads The relay victory brought ten points to the Japanese who now have a total of twenty-eight points compared to the thirty-two held by the American men. Takashi Yokohama of Japan dominated the 400-meter free style semi-final, making a mark of 4:51.4 in winning his heat, while Crabbe bettered the Olympic record of 5:01.6 in taking first place in the second heat. Water polo continued today as a potential trouble-maker. The riot and fisticuffs 'which resulted in disqualification of the Brazilian team were echoed in Tuesday’s concerted booing of referee A. Delahaye of Belgium. The referee, according to the Americans who were held to a 4-4 draw with Germany, was hostile to the United States side. City Netters in Big Bill With the heaviest program of the tourney to date, city tennis stars today continued their battle for municipal court championships. The big card included tilts in men’s and junior singles and doubles, and opening battles in boys’ and women’s singles. Several feature matches were carded. v Chic Ertel turned in his second upset in as many starts when he eliminated Jake Rhodhamel in a second round men’s match Tuesday, 4-6. 6-2, 10-8. Ertel trounced Dan Morgan on Monday. BELL LOSES NET TILT By Times Special RYE, N.

Fred Pabst. the facetious Milwaukee brewer, invites Mrs. Boole to visit his brewery, renovated for the return of beer, and a million citi- : zens laugh when the lady, flus- | trated. tells newspaper men. That i man is seeking free publicity and I 1 will not talk about such a thing.’’ M M M IT is a grim, moralistic, political fight. Both sides express hatred for the saloon system, for liquor advertising. for strong whiskies. In both camps there are men and women who rather would step into a nest of snakes than visit a speakeasy. Amused statesmen from other countries watch us fight and say, “Americans are drunk cn statistics and moral fervor. Wine was made for pleasure and not to be fought over.” Other critics are more emphatic. A French paragrapher wisecracks, “During the late war it was officially discovered that 75 per cent of the best manhood in America had the mental capacity of 12-year-old children. The fight over prohibition indicates a lower average for the entire population.” And Mark Sullivan, seasoned political commentator, watches two national conventions and writes. “The wets of 1932 are as fanatic as the drys of 1918." And it is plain that the fight will not come to a close with the revision of the Volstead act. with the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Astute observers say that repeal or revision will feive added impetus to both sides. F. Scott Mcßride of the Anti-Saloon League, frankly declares, “Our fight will never end. We always will endeavor to elect a dry congress and keep Capitol Hill dry; we will endeavor to elect a dry legislature in every state, and we shall work for dry executive officers all down the line from Presidents to constables. an a THE quiet Mrs. Sabin declares, “I will fight for the revision of the nation’s liquor laws for the rest of my life.” And Mrs. Sabin is only 46. Following the revision of the Volstead act the drys probably will establish themselves in thirteen states and block repeal indefinitely. The wets may ask for judicial relief in checkmating this strategy. It has been prophesied that in the transitional period following the inevitable repeal of the amendment the drys will carry on their fight with the use of the local option system, a system whereby an effort is made to adjust the state liquor laws to the sentiment and wishes of the majority of voters in specific localities. After the repeal of the amendment, the wets will be forced to carry on a perpetual campaign, a continual labor of propaganda, to maintain a wet majority; the drys will attempt to build up again the majority they are rumored to have held at one time. In the meantime both camps are concentrating on the November elections.
