National Committee Makes Last
Minute Decision Not to Cut
Representation.
POWER OF RACE VOTE is
CAUSE OF DISCUSSION
Press Acknowledges as FOrmid-
able Educator in Forcing
the Issue.

Much criticism is heard of the last
minute decision of the Republican
National committee not to reduce the
Southern representation in the Ma
tional convention. The colored dele
gates from the South have caused
scandal in conventions from 1904 on,
reaching a climax in 1912 when the
nomination turned on the Southern
contests and there were charges Of
much money being used on both
sides. Finally, in 1920. the National
convention instructed the National
committee to reduce the representa-
ton of the South. where there are
few Republican voters. By the &C
ton of the committee Wednesday,
this reform was beaten, although in
effect the committee cut down the
importance of the South.
Power Increasing.
The sudden change Of plans by the
committee is a proof of the increas-
ing power Of the colored population
politically. One may dismiss as non
sense all the stories that the de-
cision was forced by the Coolidge
managers, who expect to control the
Southern delegates. This charge
springs from the fact that Mr.. Cool
idge's friends were in the majority
and from the further fact that one Of
Mr.. Coolidge's managers is Private
Secretary c. Bascom Slemp, who is
credited with great influence in the
South.
But the truth is that President
Coolidge was not consulted about
Southern representation. And the ac-
ton was taken not in the interests
of any candidacy at Cleveland but to
assure the colored vote in the North
to whoever is nominated there.
The colored leaders who presented
the case for the Southern delegations
simply frightened the National COM
mittee out of cutting down the South
Il
ern delegations.
They pointed that more than 3OO,-
600 colored persons had gone North
this last year and that this flood of
immigration had been going on for
several years. The colored people
now hold the balance of power nor
mally in many Northern states, es-
pecially in Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey
and New York. And on close cleo
tions they would control in Illinois
and Michigan and even in Massachu-
setts. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the
colored spokesman, pointed out that
Senator Lodge owed his election last
time to the colored vote. Besides, in
the border states, like Maryland.
Kentucky and Missouri, the only hope
of Republican success lies in the col
ored vote.
May Go Democratic.
The colored spokesman threatened
to influence the Northern colored peo-
pie to vote the Democratic ticket this

BROWNS
Sam Rice Bumps Head Against
Nail in Fence and May
Rest a Few Days.
By SID C. KEENER.

ST. LOUIS, July 12.-Jezebel
Tecumseh Zachary, DOME Bush's big
southpaw, is expected to face the
Brownies today who will rely on
Dixie Davis to do their flinging.
The Browns are pulling for clean
sweep of this four-game series
with the Washington clan, now
that they have cleared the Mogridge
hurdle. Mogridge is Washington
one real pitcher, but he was driven
to the showers yesterday when the
Browns copied free-hitting game,
10 to 4.
With Joe Judge in Washington,
the Griffs suffered the loss of an
other regular yesterday when Sam
Rice banged his head against a nail
in the right field fence and was
knocked cold. He is not expected
to play again for a couple of days.
Dutch Schliebner poled ball into
the right field bleachers in the
seventh inning. 1t was a looper and
Rice backed up against the fence
to make a possible catch. His head
struck a nail and he fell to the
grass, bleeding. After first aid
treatment he was able to walk to
the clubhouse. However, he will
probably stay on the bench a while.
After yielding six hits for five
runs in the first three innings,
Mogridge retired to let Monroe
Mitchell perform. Mitchell has Just
reported to the Griffs from Mem
phis. For two frames he held the
Browns runless, but he got a beat
ing in the sixth, four tallies being
chalked up for the home team.
Friday finished the game.
There is no life in the playing of
the Griffs. They merely go through
the motions and are playing for
the first and the fifteenth. I'm
less the Red Sox fall apart, the
Griffs should finish in last place.

Willie Park Builds
Some of Best
Golf Links

Laying out golf courses seems
to have become a habit with
Willie Park, the veteran pro-
fessional. Not long since he
finished designing an eighteen
hole circuit at Syracuse. While
at the Pawtucket Golf Club he
had charge of complete re-
arrangement, consisting Of nine
new holes and the making over
of the original nine. He has
also completed work at the
Maidstone Golf Club on Long
Island, where this organization
now has twenty-seven holes.
The Tumblebrook Club at Hart
ford, another Of Parks crea-
tions, has nineteen holes, while
the Quebec Golf Club has
eighteen and the Summertea
G. C. at Montreal has twenty
seven.

Meets a Slick One.

.OWITCHING my talk back to

know next to nothing about,
a slick New Yorker met me at
the chewing tobacco counter of
my hotel here and asked the
writer if he was the wise boy
who had predicted that the Philly
Nationals would win the pennant
this year. To which the writer
answered yes, that he had no
bananas.
The writer then tried to change
the subject to the fact that the
other day two veterans, Fred
Ioney now of the Cards, and
Grover Cleveland Alexander met
IN Chicago in a pitchers duel and
that Toney won out by 1;-to-0
score: But the mysterious stran-
ger thought the writer was trying
to dodge something and said:
Are you a ballplayer with
