The sum and substance OF the
pledges made indicate an altruistic
benevolence for the purpose of every
group that can control a vote. Repub-
lican candidates publicly proclaim a
complete approval Of the dry cause;
privately they hold out vague promises
10 the vets. They are having a rather
trying time with the latter because of
the insistenc@ of the wet and moist
elements for more definite assurance
as the price of their votes. That which
is true of the wet and dry issue also
applies to labor. 20 the farmers, and, in
fact, every other bloc with sufficient
lung power to scare timid candidate.
1t is the judgment of the less sus-
ceptible leaders that the so-called Re-
publican candidates are not doing any
thing calculated to help the party along
two years hence. except possibly, to
suppress the wave Of radicalism which
submerged the regular organization in
Pennsylvania. Indiana, Iowa and Ne
braska. There is, in fact, little ev!-
dence of .he survival of the OLD liberal
sentiment that swung the party to
Roosevelt ten years ago. The nearest
approach to radicalism in the Repub-
lican Ohio situation. therefore. takes
the form Of opposition TO the Volstead
act.
There is. however unmistakable
manifestation of the radical character
en- the Democratic side. This Is in the
nature of a protest against the Re-
publican policies. The Democrats have
apparently decided to abandon the Will
son policies, though the supporters of
Mr.. Cox assert that those policies will
figure actively in the next Presidential
campaign. In the absence of real is
sues. the Democratic leaders Of the
State have adopted the plan Of main
tanning the status quo and heading off
potentially dangerous insurgent move
ments.
To very large extent the Demo-
cratic candidates have accepted the
challenge of the Anti Saloon. League

mark. any actual differences between
the Republican and Democratic parties.
With the. prohibition fermentation
out the situation presents the aspects
OF wild scramble for party nomina-
tions to be conferred a week from to-
morrow. There is little If any dignity
displayed by the candidates who de-
scribe themselves as Republicans or
Democrats: rather more by the latter
than by the candidates of the party of
which Mr.. Harding is the commander
in chief, but of which the Anti-Saloon
League has taken full charge.
The dry organization has defined the
paramount issue of the nominating

Dry Organixation's Finessc.
There is, of course, a great deal OF
antagonism in both parties to the plans
of the dry organization. There can be
no question, however. or the skill and
strategic finesse shown by the dry or
ganization in hitching its water cart to
the party which it believes has the best
chance of winning in the November
election. They have simplified the
situation by jockeying the Democratic
organization and it's candidates into an
obstructive position, though some Of
the Democratic candidates are as quite
dry. in a personal sense, as those ia
vored by the Anti-Saloon League.

Bing Miller a Favorite.

in exchange for Jumping Joe"
Dugan, the leagues grasshopper.
Miller is playing in center field
for the Mackmen and doing well.
In the recent series at Shibe Park
with the Griffs he looked very
good, especially on ground balls.
Bing believes in blocking ground
balls some way, even though he
may have to take it in the tummy.
He did that at least twice in the
four games with the Griffs.
With the Little Rock club Miller
played center field and it was his
good work in that position that
brought him to the Gr;ffs. Here
he never got a chance to show what
he could do there. He was played
in the wicked sun field at Georgia
avenue, which probably had some
thing to do with his hitting.
Connie Mack is to be congratu-
lated in landing Miller, who is an
earnest young man who gives all he
has every minute he is in the
game.

Tired of Tender.

Tired OF lender.
nOXING fans everywhere must
be growing tired of the
~ windy blasts from Lew Ten
dler and his manager, Phil Glass
man. Billy Gibson's statement,
backed up by Tex Richards per-
sonal representative. that Ten
dler refused S62,500 for a bout
with Benny Leonard in Jersey
City, should end the rag chewing
back and forth between the man
ayers of the champion and the
leading contender.
If the lightweight title looks
worth anything to Tender. he
should be willing to do anything
to get it. If he is so sure he can
defeat Benny Leonard, he ought
to be willing to take nothing at
all just for the privilege of win
ming that title, provided he thinks
the title worth anything.
When Willie Ritchie failed to
get any bouts in this country. he
was offered a guarantee of S25,-
900 by Freddie Welsh for a bout
in London. The champion ac-
cepted that amount and when the
referee awarded the victory and
the championship to Welsh. the
latter was in the hole to the ex-
tent Of something like $4,000.

table, Welsh said to Billy Rocap,

Danforth has not made a won
derful start this season. II mem
ory serves, he has won but once
in four or five starts. If he con-
tinues to depend wholly upon
curve balls he will not find him
self triumphant often.
All pitchers know that the hook
takes more out Of him than does
the fast ball. A good fast ball
pitcher usually lasts much longer
in the game than does he who
uses more curves than speed. For
years and years Walter Johnson
never used a curve ball. 1t was
only when he found some of his
zip missing that he began expert
menting with a hook. He now
mixes up his delivery in good
style, but he has a real fast ball
to alternate with his hook.
Judging from what we saw
Monday, Dave Danforth will
hardly swing the Browns into
first place next October. In the
American Association he won
more than half of his teams VIC
tories for the season of 1921. We
know nothing as to his style in
the American Association. II
has been protested in this legaue,
There is small need Of protesting
Danforth's delivery. If he con
tinues to pitch four hooks to every
fast ball, he will drop back intt
the minors, even though the Browns
did give up eight players to lane
him. This percentage of hook.
would kill any pitcher.
