WHO WILL 100
DELEGATES, AT
ODDS, AGREE ON
Most MOmentOus Occasion
of Democrats for
Many Years
By United Press Lcnsed Wire

UNITED PRESS HEADQUART-
ERS, WALDORF HOTEL, NEW
YORK, June 24.-Wil 100 fighting
delegates fight and fight, only to
nominate cOlorless candidate on a
platform that straddles the vital is
snes?
That is the question in the minds
of observers and listeners at this
convention as the delegations as
semble and caucus.
If precedents of other Democratic
conventions were to be relied upon,
one of these leaders would be nom
mated. Wilson beat Clark at Balti-
more in 1912. Cox beat McAdoo in
1920. But i'm those conventions there
were no charges against the candi-
dates.
McAdoo is charged with being Do
heny's lawyer, securing tax refunds
for large corporations from officials
in the treasury department who had
been subordinates and appointees,
helping Morse out of his shipping
board troubles and having an al
legged alliance with the khan.
Opponents of Smith say that his
religious connections, his reputation
as wet, his lifelong Identification
with Tammany and the claim that
Wall Street wants him, makes his
election impossible and declare that
his nomination will mean the party
would be committing hari kari in
the west.
Many Dark Horses
The most subtle campaign being
made these opening days for any
dark horse by the conservative and
big business interests is being made
for John w. Davis. His boosters
point out that he has served in con-
gress, as solicitor-g general, ambassa-
dor to England and is great lawyer
in, New York. That s his weakness.
1t may be added, J, PierpOnt Nor
gan's lawyer-and he buys his silk
stockings on Fifth Avenue.
Ralston is a fine old Indiana gen
tleman and if nominated his oppon-
cnt will have great difficulty in fas-
tcring anything hurtful upon him.
But he is too colorless. Senator Cope
land is new to the public. He might

EARL SANDE, FAMOUS
 JOCKEY, BADLY HURT
Americas Premier Jockey Receives
 Injuries That May Cause Retirement

Saratoga Springs. \, H., Aug, T.- Earl sande, one Of Americas bssl jockeys, who was seriously injured yesterday will ride no more this year and may never again take the saddle according 10 local physicians,
 In the first race, in which four horses fell, Sande sustained two frac- lures of the left les, one just below the hip and the other below the knee, One Of his ribs also was broken and he was unconscious for an hour.
 sande has found 1t increasingly dif- heult to keep down 10 riding weight this season and more than once re. marked that he would give up riding after this year unless he decided to so abroad, where the scale of weights Is higher. By the time he has re. covered completely he probably will be far too heavy to resume his voc cation.
 sande rode zev In the international race at Belmont park. October 20, 1928. In which the American horse defeated Papyrus. the English entry. He also established a new money winning record last year when he rode horses to victories which netted his employers a total of s4it.ls5.

ICHAMPION TEAMS
 ARE SHORT LIVED
Tanks and Giants Two Notable
 Exceptions /

Ner York. Aug, !, - Champion ball clubs. in these days of "ket rid Of 'em shea they crsck." have a normal duration of only q few years, More recently the Giants and the Yankees seem to have broken the spell that prevented clubs from re. beating as pennsnt winners, Re- auirements of modern baseball neees- sitata an ever changing policy in per- sonnei as Is evidenced by looking over the rosters of the major league clubs.
 Not one Of the great stars of the ieit Athletics remain on Connie Macks payroll. Many Of them are scatttred all over the circuit. Hank Gowdy is the lone survivor of the champion Brave team Of loit. The champion Boston Red sox of 1915 have been completely disbanded and of tbe Philadelphia Nationals, which opposed them In the series that fall, none remain.
 Olson. Wheat. Myers and Johnston are the only members of the Brook iyn champions of iois who are still drawing pay from Squire Ebbets. Eddie Collins, Ray Chalk and Red Faber still survive. but all the othor stars of the champion White sox of 1917 have departed. Every one Of the pcnnant winning Giants Of the same year have also gone their ways.
 Killifer. Hollocher. Deal and o'Far- rell still wear the club uniforms, but the Cubs of 1918 have scattered. Af- ter winning the pennant and the championship in 1919, Pat Moran broke up the Cincinnati Reds. With Daubert. Duncan, Roush, Wingo and Luque as foundation. he built new team.
 The Cleveland champions of 1921 are also under the process of reor- ganization. Covelski. Uhle, Sewell, and Jamison are the only survivors that Iris Speaker has on his roll. The New York Yankees have what might be considered veteran club and the owners will have to keep it up with new material as they go along.
 The Giants. on the other hand, | have virtually young team and Nc Iraw ought to be able to get along | 'or three or four years with the mate ial he now hAs at his disposal.

SPEED, CONTROL,
 VANCE'S SECRET
Famous Hurler Has Terrific
 Throwing Powers

Control, plus blinding speed. That's the secret of Dazzy Vance's great suc- cess in the National league. Seven or eight years ago Vance came to the New York Yankees raw recruit.
 The late Wild Bill Donovan was managing tho club. In his day Wild Bill had been great pitcher him. self. As his nickname implied. he was given to spectacular outbursts of wildness, although this feature of his work was greatly exaggerated.
 Donovan liked Vance as a pitcher, but sent him on his way because he couldn't get the ball over the plate.
 "The kids got everything a great pitcher needs" admitted Donovan, but it won't do him any good until he learns how to keep it close to the plate"
 As the years rolled on the wisdom of Donovan's size-up became clear to all. Vance certainly had everything that makes for success on the mound and, as soon as he acquired control, he became great pitcher.
 Today Dazzy Vance is not only the star of the Brooklyn team but one of the outstanding pitchers in baseball.
 vances chief stock in trade is hia fast ball, backed up by almost per feet control. Empires in the National league tell me his fast ball is just about as fast as Walter Johnson's was when the Big Swift was at zenith of his career. That's plenty fast enough for me.
 Vance, however, doesn't rely wholly on his fast ball. His knuckle ball is

 Bernice Wall, of Oshkosh, Wis, champion. and Virginia Wilson. of Chicago, promised another good con- test, while Dorothy Klotz, of Chicago. renewed her attacks on former cham pions in competing with Mrs. F. c.

BROWNS NOW SERIOUSLYN
 RACE FOR LEAGUE HONORS
Again Defeat Senators - Tygers Beat Tanks - Indians Trim Red Sox-Giants Down Cubs-Vance Wins For Dodgers-Reds Victorious And So Is Boston.

New York, Aug, T.-st, Louis con tinues to burn up the American league eindsr path and to attract more attention than any other club In the circuit, As a result Of their fifth straight victory over Washington, which incidentally was their sixth win and their ninth in 10 starts, the Browns today seriously threaten the suprkmacy Of the three leaders. Sis ler's sensational aggregation is only three games and a half behind the top notch Yankees, two and hslf in the rear of the Tygers and a half game in the wake Of tho Senators
 An opportune rainstorm at the close of the fifth inning gave De- troit a s to decision over New York on the strength of a half-day's work. The Tygers drove Bush to cover in the first frame and were even less considerate of Mamaux. Ruth hung up his 36th circuit drive in the fourth.
 Ernie Wingard arrived on the scene just in time to keep st. Louis win ming string intact With the tying run on second Davis resigned in favor of the brilliant youngster, who retired the next two Washington hit ters and pulled his mates through by the narrow squeak of 10 5.
 Cleveland, emulating its Missouri neighbor. is nursing an embryo win- ming streak of its own. By their to 5 triumph over Boston the Indians made it four straight. Boone of the Red Sox hit his third homer of the series
 The Giants added another game to an already overwhelming lead by dowsing Chicago to while Pitts burgh was losing to Brooklyn. The National league champs now are in the van by eight games and half. McGraw's outfit salted the contest away in the opening round by count ing ive times.
 Dazzy Vance Is winning the reputa- ton once possessed by Christy Mathewson of having the power to win a game simply by tossing his glove into the pitchers box. The Robin hurler turned in another beau- tiful exhibition of ball tossing in let ting the Pirates down with four hits and three runs while his mates were sarnering 5 Vance famed 10 men and ran his strikeout total for the season up to 160.
 Cincinnati scored to win over Philadelphia with a minimum of ef- fort. as rain put an end to the pro- ceedings in the fifth session.
 Boston stepped out of it's losing rut long enough to turn the tables on St. Louis by to margin.

no easy thing to hit, and his curve has highly developed deceptive quality. Against Chicago recently he famed seven batters in a row. During that spurt he mixed 'em up in a manner that stamped him as a smart pitcher as well as an unusually gifted one.
 Vance is product of the great open spaces of Iowa, is 31 years old, six-footer and right-hander.> He has been pitching professionally for about h years. He got his start with the Hastings club of the Nebraska state league. Brooklyn got him in 1922

4 TERRIBLE AFFAIR
Corbin Rcd Sox Lose, But 1t Was the Game Itself That Was So


 Awful.
 The Corbin Red Sox went down to Middletown yesterday for a game with the state hospital team and lost 13 to s. The fact that the Red Sox lost was not in itself anything unusual for them, but it was the weird game that was played that made it such ter rible affair. Even the scorer gave it up in disgust.
 The Redi Sox got to Dr. Van Carr for 4 hits and the Hospital boys got to Lefty Huber for seven bingles. However, the Red Sox mixed up an assortment of wild pitches, passed balls, fumbles, wild throws, etc, to the number of nine which materially aided in the scoring. The Middletown boys made but three misplays.
 Hen finished the game which Huber had started so confidently and stumbled so miserably.

DEMOCRATS JUGGLE
FIGURES, SAYS G. O. P.
Tariff on Rubber Not Up $50 Per
Cent, as Davis Charged, De-
clares Committee,

Misuse of percentage calculations in
comparing the Democratic and Ford
ney-McCumber tariff laws by Demo-
cratic party spokesman is claimed by
the Republican National Committee in
statement issued last night.
As an instance. the statement re-
calls that John w. Davis, the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate, IN his
speech at Seagirt, N. j.. August %,
declared that in the present tariff law
the duty on rubber footwear was rails
ed $50 per cent
apparently what Mr Davis, or his
advisers did" the statement said.
was to subtract from the Republican
duty, which is 25 per cent the Demo-
cratic duty. which was 10 per cent,
and divide the difference, 15 per cent,
by the 10 per cent, thus arriving at
100 per cent as the duty increase on
the goods. 1t is not. It is the in
crease on the Democratic percentage.
The layman naturally concludes
the present duty on rubber footwear
is $50 per cent plus. instead Of the
actual rs per cent. This is the use of
percentage of percentages, instead Of
percentages of value"
