BLOCKING BALTIMORE A QUOR SOURCE Sends More Agents to Prevent Shipments to District. POLICE VIGIL GROWS Sergt. Little Declares ‘Many Routes Can Not Be Patroled. RUNNERS BELIEVED USING BACK ROADS Youth Captured With Cargo After First Getting Away in Smoke Screen. While the Federal prohibition of- fice moved additional forces into Baltimore to shut off that source of the Capital’s liquor supply, Washing- ton police authorities, encouraged by the first week's results of its liquor blockade, tightened their vigil last night at six gates to the city. Advised of an increased flow of bootleg whisky from Baltimore, the Prohibition Bureau transferred twelve new. agents to that point, bringing the total personnel of the Baltimore revenue squad to eighteen. The Bal- timore force has almost doubled in size in the last 60 days. This information was gleaned last night coincident with a statement by Inspector. Thatideus Bean that all of the liquor seized in the initial. week of the dttve, amiounting to 281 gal-° lons, came in from Baltimore over foad. Nota drop oy liquor. from Southern Maryland has been confiscated during the blockade, he made kiiown. ee Forces Will Rest Today. This may, or may not, be due to activities of Federal agents in Charles, St. Mary's and Prince Georges Coun- | ties, he said. Under Assistant Pro- hibition Administrator Robert D., Ford, these officers yesterday con- tinued their search of every nook and cranny of this region, spurred on by their success in trapping three liquor cars and two prisoners in Marlboro the day previous. ‘Heavy rains that turned country roads into morasses hindered them @ little in their work. The force will take a holiday today, but will resmue with renewed vigor their operations against illicit south- ern Maryland distillers Monday, with Pord leading the main body.

The first gray shades of night had enveloped the highest peaks of Grif- fith Stadium yesterday where Wash- ington to the number of 10,000 head- ed by President and Mrs. Hoover and their official party were blotting out the sideline seats and the Marines and Coast Guards were locked in a bitter scoreless struggle for possession of the President’s Cup late in the third quarter, when Private Raymon E.

Billingsiee, a back-field mate, had just been thrown for a 5-yard loss by the militant Coast Guard line, when Gotko received the ball on a direct pass from center. In a twin- kling he was across the scrimmage line through tackle. Two feints disposed of the imme- diate secondary defense. In a trice he was clear except for Ensign Eddie Roland, Coast Guard safety man and star of the team. Grotko sped to- ward the goal with Roland on. the alert for the tackle. Gotko changed his pace and Roldnd’s dive was futile. The final dash to the goal line that climaxed his 69-yard gal- lop was a mere formality. He con- verted the goal with a place-kick and the Marines won the game, .7 to 0, and clinched the cup for the Continued on Page 21, Column 2.

A penny, a nickel or a dime from one child to help another is worth just as much, and probably more, than $100 from some one of wealth, simply because it indicates that the youngster has grasped the spirit of reaches an age when the blessings of giving become apparer’~.

By wbWiks J. “NEIL. Pranklin. Pield, Philadelphia, Dec. 6 (AP.) —Navy set a string of storm signals for all of Army to see today as a surprisingly versatile squad of midshipmen battered and passed Pennsylvania's fair eleven into abso- lute submission. before an enthusi- astic crowd of 60,000. Whipped four times this season, rated hardly a ‘formidable rival. for the powerful Cadets in the charity climax of the Eastern campaign in New York next Saturday, Navy pulled the plug on an amazingly potent of- fensive and smothered the Quakefs, 26 to 0. The score might have been twice. as large. if the Midshipmen had chosen to take chances instead of kicking and waiting for scores un- til they all but dropped in their laps. So completely was Navy in complete command of the situation without the aid of a single Marine, that the Pennsylvania Team that scored 20 points in the Notre Dame rout made just. three first’ downs and gained only 15 yards more than it lost from scrimmage. Two desperate passes, oné complete because of interference, and a 12-yard run by Capt. Dick Gentle on a fake kick from behind his own goal line, provided: the entire Pent- sylvania offensive for the afternoon, Lou Kirn, Navy dynamo at right half back, battered the Quaker lite miserably in a scoreless first HAlf that saw the rejuvenated squad from Annapolis push Penn all over the field, but refuse to take chances deep in the enemy's territory. It wasn’t until Kirn’s substitute, a 170-pound youngster named Tommy Hurley, a second classmnan from New York City, came into the back field for the sec~ ond half, with a substitute quarter Continued on Page 21, Column 1.
