Larry Cheney Showing
Some of Old-Time Form
as Comeback in Minors

Larry Cheney, formerly of Indianapo-l
lis and for many years a big league
hurting star, is shining for new rec
ord Of baseball fans now.
He's pitching for the Columbia team
in the South Atlantic league and going
great guns. He won his first five games
and allowed but one hit when he was,
nicked his sixth time out. Errors cost
Columbia the ball game. He keeps on
winning most OF his starts.
Larry halls from Bartlesville, Okla,
where he was born in 1885. He broke
into the game with his home town team
and played with Topeka and again with
Bartlesville before getting his first big
league tryout with the White Sox In
1907.
The Sox decided he needed more sea-.
soning and Larry went to Oklahoma,
City and then to Indianapolis.
At the close of the 1909 campaign the
Reds picked him for a tryout, but sent
him back to Indianapolis In exchange
for Slagle.
The next year Indianapolis let Cheney
go to Louisville and the Colonels sent
him up to the Cubs in a deal.
Larry had three good years with the
Cubs, but IN 1915 WAS obtained by the
Dodgers via the waiver route. He went
good for the Dodgers IN 1915, winning
eighteen and losing twelve games.
He had only fair success, however, the
next two seasons and the Dodgers let
him 20 to the pills. He was given hi8
unconditional release BY that club last
winter and announced his sstiramanf,
Evidently he couldn't stay out 81 khs
pastlme.

He laid stress on the necessity OF

manifested little inclination in that

sPROUL BOOM
STILL GROWING.
The boom for Gov. VIM. C. sproul is
bigger today than ever.
This does not mean he will be nomi-
mated, even II he does have the backing
Of Senator Boies Penrose. ii does mean,
however. that he will act as magnet
when the balloting gets fairly under way,
and pull over to his camp which is the
camr OF Penrose, considerable number
OF delegates. Pennsylvania alone has 20
votes. These, with such others as may
respond to the call Of the Penrose-
sproul combination, 1t is admitted,
would be a powerful influence in the
convention.
In the event Of anything like dead

politicians admit, the balance of power
necessary to swing the caucus In any
direction desired. The Knox-Johnson
combination talk was heard again today.
1t will not down.
The same feeling of uncertainty which
has hung over the ball since the begin
ming. was still consricuously present.
The order in which the various can
didates will be nominated has not been
definitely fixed, but the understanding
early today was that the three leaders
would come In this order: First Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood; second, Gov. Frank
o. Lowden, and Senator Hiram Johnson.
The rollcall will be alphabetically and
by states. Alabama being first on the
list and having no candidate herself to
offer. may cede the floor to Gov. Henry
J. Allen of Kansas, to place Gen. Woods
name before the convention. Or Arkansas
might cede to the Kansan.
Arkansas or Arizona is expected to
yield to Congressman William A. Roden-
berg of East st. Louis to nominate Gov.
Lowden.
California, being up near the top of the
list, will take her turn when called, and
Charles s. Wheeler Of San Francisco will
rise and name Senator Johnson.
Seconding speeches will be made to all
OF these.

The republican party can't find loca-

But the most apathetic situation is pre-
scented by the lodging Of the prohibition
question.
Read the platform and Sc how gleeful
the republicans party is over the record
OF its senators and members OF congress
with what "honor," courage and "hdel-
fly" they have done things great and
small; see how proudly they assert the
position of the republican party on other
questions big and little, and then to
think that they would run away from
their most stupendous act because few
ex-liquor dealers and some thirsty wor-
shippers Of the rum god made threats.

safeguards, of the lives 1t saves from

crimes 1t Is preventing.

those IN other lands as we shake the

enough to propose an amendment In

She barred her teeth, as did the colonel,
and snapped out her words, much as he
did in his most vigorous speeches.

lea in.
"And indeed" she cried, Leonard
