field for President Calvin Coolidge
and Senator Hiram w. Johnson of
California, North Dakota Republi-
cans are laying plans for q strenu-
Gus campaign not only to gain the
election of their candidate but to
firmly cement the party In the
State.
The Democrats are likewise at
tempting, through the support OF
William Gibbs McAdoo, to be recog-
nized as a distinctive party in
North Dakota and to ultimately
send it's committeeman to the Ma
tional convention instructed for Nc
Adoo.
Owing to the partisan League
faction, which succeeded in captur-
ing the Republican party in 1917
and holding it until the recall by
state referendum of Governor Lynn
tJ Frazier, now United States Sem
ater, in 1922, there are in the State
today two main groups that have
split the Republican party, thereby
destroying its former formidability
and Offering what the Democrats say
is eh;nce to carry the State in
the November general election
These groups are:

Frazier, who is supported by Sen
ator Lynn j. Frazier. The Senator
and Roy Frazier are not related

Washington marked time in third place during a rainstorm and st. Louis continued in the grip of its reversal dropping third straight contest to the last-place Athletics.
 Five home runs featured the lot game between New York and clese. land. the latter emerging from the melee with 10 to victory by sir- ture of a ninth-inning finish.

 For the simple reason that Manager Sisler was unable to find one pitcher In five capable of putting the quietus on Philadelphia bauers. the Athletics took the third game of the series by score of to 5.
 The Giants not only lead their league by nine games and a half but also are developing into champion winning-streak breakers. Cincinnati after piling up six successive triumphs met Pittsurgh's fate in stubbing its toe at the Polo grounds. The Reds ! fall was measured by score of 8 to 8. I
 One of the tightest pitching duels | of the season was decided in favor of | by Pie Traylor's home run for to 0 victory over Philadelphia. Ring let the Pirates down with three | hits and Meadows held the Phillies to four.
 Ragged support enumerated fair twirling by Barnes and gave Chicago ln easy 10 to 7 decision over Boston. Grantham hit his ninth homer of the season in the final frame.
 The Brooklyn Robins were so prodigal of nine-run lead that they were fortunate to defeat St. Louis by II to 9. Bottomley hammered out two homers and Jake Fournier chalked up his Srd of the season.

MORE HOMERS ARE
 MADE IN AMERICAN
Individuals Clout Out Numerous
 Circuit Hits

Chicago Aug. 9.-Home run hitters of the American league, in individual ability, have the edge on their Nation- al league rivals for the season, accord ing to figures compiled here and which include Thursdays games. This. despite the fact that the senior organization has a total Of $50 homers and the junior circuit 296.
 The National league in smashing out its total of four baggers, required the services Of 100 players, while the American leagues army numbered only 24, giving the junior league slug gers an average of four homers per man, while the average of each play CTS in the older organization is 3.5.
 Babe Ruth of the Yankees, who in 1921 established record of 59 hom- CTS, leads and is giving indications of again attaining and perhaps bettering that mark. At the time the figures were compiled Ruth has clouted S6 homers.
 The leading home run clouter in the National league is Jack Fournier, of the Dodgers, who is setting the  pace with %. but the big Frenchman has not been doing so well recently. Behind Fournier are Kelly of the Giants with fl, Hornsby of the Car dinals with 10, Hartnett of the Cubs with 15 and Williams of the Phillies with 1o. The others are strung along with one and two, with few as high as eight.
 The American league boasts only four men having double figures, but their total is far in excess of their Ma tional league rivals. Besides Ruth, there is Hauser of the Athletics with 20, Williams of the Browns with 16 and Baby Doll' Jacobson of the | Browns with 15.
 The others range from single four | bagger to nine. numerous players hov- cring around this point.
