DEMOCRATS|N IN
NEED OF FUNDS.
National Committee Confronts
Financial Crisis Which Must
| Be Settled Soon.
BY NORMAN HAPGOOD.

The Democratic national commit
tee il in such financial difficulty
that its reorganization has become q
matter Of necessity. A promissory
note for q large amount, long over
due, is held by friendly New York
bank but cannot be held much longer.
PATRONAGE CROWDS LARGE.
A defeated party, with a large
hangover campaign indebtedness. Is
in a different position from a victor
ious party in the same predicament
! Since Mr.. Daugherty was put definite
ly in charge of all minor patronage
matters. his office has been steadily
hanked by a line of office seekers
somewhat less than a mile in length.
The condition Is expressed, II ex-
aggerated. by the story that Justice
Vandeventer. OF the Supreme Court,
wishing to see the Attorney General
the outer office an hour with a gang
OF office-hunters. and then went away
without being admitted.
In these circumstances the business
of the nation suffers. but campaign
debts can be paid.
THOUGHT WAY CLEAR.
The Democratic National Committee
thought it had found a way to get out
Of trouble, but the way failed. When
the war between the two elements
broke out last winter one Of the most
prominent leaders of the Cox-White
faction said to me:
"The McAdoo men thought they had
ua They thought we could not handle
the indebtedness. They will find that
it is already arranged for"
But the arrangement blew up.
When the Progressive group" as
they usually designate themselves,
heard just what the arrangement
was. they used the parliamentary
equivalent for mot on your life"
DRIFTING ALONG.
The way can be found. but not
with Mr.. White in the chairmanship.
He is a pleasant and popular man.
but he is drifting along. with the
financial matters going fror, bad to
worse. He was given to understand
last winter that reorganization could
not be deferred later than May.
The present crisis suggests that
he must Indicate some lefnite In
tention pretty soon.
AS to the general political outlook
of the group that will not stand
for the payment of the indebtedness
by Thomas F. Ryan, this much may
he said: Homer s. Cummings is not
a candidate for the chairmanship of
the committee and would not accept
It IL 1t were offered to him on a
platter.
Therefore, am playing nobody's
game in saying that the speech he
will make at the Jefferson dinner
in Pittsburgh today expresses in a
clear and noble way precisely the
view of politics that the progress
sive group" means to maintain now
and in the elections of 1922 and
1924.

SOME CHANGES IN KACEYs
 TEAM NEXT SUNDAY

Some changes will take place in the k. of C. team in the very near fu- ture. Two new infielders will come on trial for next Sundays game and prob bably will be in Mondays games a. gainst the American Thread of Wilh- mantle. It is the managers intention to put Putnam on first base regularly Putnam practiced with the St. Louis team covering first base and shows he has all the ear marks of q clever first baseman. Eddie Mckay will cov- CT right field in next Sundays game in order to give the two new infield- CTS a chance to show themselves. Ed die BrOgan's place at short stop can not be improved upon, and he will stay there Eddie, Mckay will be brought
 back 10 second base after Sunday $ game, and the new infieIder which shows the best will be kept. Billie Burke who played ueft field against the St. Louis team is a good ball play er and he will be seen in the lineup regularly. Wik will hold down his po-
 sition at centerfield. A new pitcher will be here for next Sundays game to be used in the game with Williman- tic Monday morning. It is possible that i he will alternate with Canavan in Sun days game, Canayan pitching five in- nings and the new pitcher four in- nings. This will give them both a lit- tie workout prior to Mondays game against Willimantic.

Chicago, May 5.-Spectacular up+rrns in Cle price of wheat today resulted largely from announcement of severe crop damage in Missouri.

The market closed unsettled at range varying from 1-4c net decline to 1-2c advance with May S179 3-4 to S1sO and July S1.32 1-2 to $1.32 3-4.

 Hessian fly received most of the blame for harm to the Missouri wheat crop. Ac- cording to one expert, the fly pest is present in every field, and the greater art of the crop has already been thinned What especially caught the attention of traders, though, was a statement from the University of Missouri entomologist that half of the possible yield of eight counties appeared to be gone, and that further loss was in prospect. Under such circumstances Kansas rains which at the opening had weakened the market were quickly forgotten, and the market fuct- uated widely during the remainder of the day, with profit taking sales heavy at the last A New York exporter who has been credited with being the chief long in May wheat issued a denial this after noon.

HEAVY RAIN CAUSED DEMPSEY
 TO POSTPONE TRAINING

Atlantic City, N. J., May 25-A hea- " rain that drenched Jack Dempsey $ training quarters caused the hevy- weight champion to suspend all train ing activities today. When the cham pion arose at a. m. the roads were heavily soaked and 3. cold raw wind made road work impossible.
 While Dempsey chafed at the in activity at his camp, the rain was welcomed by Jack Kearnes. manager of the champion.
 This weather gives Us a good eX cuse for giving Dempsey a rest said Kearns. T am glad to get this chance I do not intend to permit Dempsey to train too hard. A day of rest will do hi'': good after the peace he set yesterday.

WHY THERE WILL BE 1,0c0
 SHOOTERS IN GRAND AMERICAN
3y Peter P. Carney


 This is the year that 1000 or more shooters will participate in the Grand American Handicap Trapshooting tou- rnament
 For several years efforts have been made to bring up the total of en- trants to the thousand mark but the best figures obtained were S85-which by any means of computation is a mighty fine list of entrants.
 But with the tournament in Chica- go and at the South Shore Country Club and business good, it should be no trouble to get 500 entrants. And with the railroads allowing a One-third reduction on a round trip ticket at least 200 more shooters should turn out. This means that a shooter coming d distance can save enough money on his railroad fare to pay his hotel bill
 The Grand American is the biggest sporting event of the year and the rail roads recognize this fact. The Grand | American brings as many people tc a city as a big convention and they al remain for q week or more.
