'McAdoo is going to be nominated I"
Postmastcr-Gcn Burleson said to-
day.
McAdoo's supporters claim at least
800 votes on the first ballot, conced-
Ing almost 400 to Palmer and about
2oo to Cox. They look to see the
Palmer vote decrease after the two
or three ballots are taken. with a
corresponding increase In McAdoos
vote, until the necessary two-th!rds
is reached.
This is Wilson convention" said
bnrIeson. There is no use trying
TO deceive ourselves and make 1t ap-
pear that the delegates are going to
act Independently of the Presidents
views. The mantle of Jefferson and
jackson has fallen upon Woodrow
wilson; he is tho great leader OF the
Democratic party. and he will con-
tinue to be until tho clods have fallen
upon his coffin. The convention is
going 10 do his will"
Mr.. Burleson added that McAdoo

mated with any chance of winning.

MAYS IS FOUND FOR
TWO RUNS AT OUTSET

NAYS was mulcted for a couple OF
runs right at the outset of the early
encounter Judge singled to center con-
tinued to third when Ruth fumbled and,
after Harris walked. scored on Rice's
double. Harris took third on this blow
and when Ward momentarily fumbled
Meusers throw, tried to score, but was
tagged at the plate. Roth singled
Rice to third and Sam tailed on dou-
BILE steal. Bob taking third when Han
nah's throw went to center field. He
was left there.
The Yanks got one of them back in
their half when Ruth. with a count OF
three and two on him. lifted one OF
Acosta's shoots out of the park.
In the sixth the Griffs added announcer.
Harris started with a double TO center.
slid into third ahead of Mays toss OF
Rice's bunt and scored on Roth's long
lift to Lewis.
Acosta never was in trouble after
Ruth got that clout out of his system.
He retired Babe at first on close play
in the fourth, when he took Judges toss
walked him Internationally in the sixth
and Harris took care of his roller IN
the eighth. Jose walked pair OF
Yanks when there were two out in eacn

RUTH DECIDING FACTOR
In CLOSING ENCOUNTER

Ruth emulated his first game feat
of polling the ball out of the lot in
the initial round of the closing con-
test. His drive. which came with the
bases unoccupied,. was low liner that
carried into the right-field bleachers.
The Grifrs failed to take advantage
of several early opportunities to score.
Rice doubled in the opener and Roth
was wounded, and in the second
IORourke's two-bagger against the
right field wall and walk to Charity
were wasted, while Rice's infleld safe
ty and pass to Roth awaited nothing
in the third. Collins hurt his ankle
was withdrawn in favor of Thor
mahlen. The first bingfe off the
southpaw was double by Rice in
the fifth. Sam continued to third on
Meusefs bad throw. but was tagged
ball.
Grins Score in sixth.
1t was not until the sixth that the
Griffs broke into the run column.
Roth led with a single. Ellerbe sacri-
feed. Shanks walked and O'Rourke
produced the tally with hot smash
double play initiated by Peck. Eller-
be. with an unsupported bingle in the
eighth. was the only other Griffman
to reach first.
RuthS delusion to the e6ect that he
is a champion at stealing bases as
well as hitting homers cost the Yanks
two chances to score. one in the
fourth, when Charity pegged out the
Babe at second after he had singled.
Pratt's safety followed. Again in the
sixth Ruth'S misconception of his
speed afoot ended a Yank rally. With
two down in this round Ruth and
Pratt singled and moved up on wild
pitch. Lewis drew a walk and with
Meusei up Bambino essayed to steal
home and failed.
Ruth's pathway efforts proved a
factor in the scoring Of the winning
tally in the ninth, however. He
started the final frame with a double
and took a big lead of second. Char
rity pegged there and in scrambling
back Ruth bumped into O'Rourke and
