WATT OUT TEN DAYS.

The Finger of Fate was pointed i'm
politely at a whole squad Of Bruin
athletes during the festivities. The
old girl seemed grouchy even before
she threw the Bears down so hard at
tn" finish.
Pitcher Frank Watt, his waist meas
ure reduced but not the speed Of his
fast ball after a spring spent with the
Detroit Tigers, appeared on the knob
for the first time this season, He was
getting along fine, especially in sit
uations that demanded good pinch
pitching. when he was rendered unfit
for further service by the spikes of
Sccond-bascman Cissell Of the Demons.
The side of Franks right foot and the
bottom Of CisSells came in contact as
Watt covered the plate for a throw
from Wirts after making a Wild pitch
in the fourth inning. Spikes went
through Watts shoe and deep into his
foot. After he had been assisted from
the field, DIR. BurlcsOn. who examined
the cut. said it would be something
like a week OF 10 days before he could
put on shoe again.
Chris Serre. third baseman, got
bumped hard in a collision at third,
was shaken up bit and Sammy Lance
was put in his place. Chris is y. X
again. but Fate moved 10 win and
then lose the game for the Bears when
Serre was jolted from the fray and
Lance substituted.
WINS AND LOSES.
On his first trip 10 bat, Lance sin
glcd in the run that broke a tie and
gave the Bears lead they held until
the ninth.
In the ninth. Lance committed n
remarkable error that let in Des
Moines' winning run.
That error was one for the book, as
the baseball yarn-spinners say.
Things were going awful, HOnus
Mite had used three pitchers trying
10 stop the rally Of the Demons, the
score was tied and the bases were
full.
Shane Collins, Demon manager, was
up. Dutch Kaiser was pitching.
Shane cowtailcd the ball down the
third base line 10 Lance, playing deep
for just such an occurrence. Sammy
skipped for the bag 10 beat Griffin, on
the way from second, and so end the
inning. But Pug came tearing along
the paths faster than Sammy reckOned.

going to be dead heat. Both slid.

And. before the startled gaze Of

THE whole story of the new 1927 Chandler
l. centers on one big basic fact: it's different!
For one thing, the new Chandler is beautifully
unlike the run of cars that pass you on the
street. 1t reflects more character, more style,
more individuality. In the language of the day,
it looks like a million dollars!
Inside each one of the nineteen new models
youwil find all the little niceties, and comforts,

heretofore missed in cars at any such prices.

DEMOCRAT FINANCE
REFORM IS URGED
James w. Gerard to Make
Recommendations at
Autumn Meeting.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 23.-James w
Gerard. treasurer of the Democratic
national committee. announced that
he vas prepared to make suggestions
for reforms in the administration Of
the committees finances at the next
meeting of the committee. to be held
soon after the elections this fall.
The Democratic national committee
still has outstanding a debt OF S26O.O0O
legacy from the parties unsuc-
cessful campaign Of 1924.
Mr.. Gerard's plan. he said. would
place the financial affairs of party in
the hands of subcommittee reporting
to the general membership Of the ma
tional committee, which would have
final say both in contracting debts
and raising the funds to pay them.
At present. it was pointed out. the
individual national committeeman
are personally liable for any debts
of the committee. The finances OF
the national committee are said to
be administered entirely by the ma
tional committee chairman, Glenn l..
Shaver of West Virginia, and the
financial director. J. II. Jones OF
Texas Mr.. Gerard said his plan was
not a criticism of either Mr.. Jones or
Mr.. Shaver. Il do not think money
raised for a national campaign ever Is
wisely spent Mr. Gerard said. The
money raised should be distributed
among the national committeeman
and spent by them each in his respect
i've State. Instead it is being spent
on advertising and distributing litera-
ture that never gets the party any
where. I am sure that under the plan
I propose to suggest, some care will be
exercised that money is wisely spent
in doubtful States and not wasted.
Il think the idea of running into
debt ought to be discouraged. Debt
inevitably impairs the prestige of
DOlitical party"

Aggressors.
BY the Associated Press.


PANAMA, June 23.-A resolution
recommending common action by the
Pan-American states against any ag-
gressor state has been unanimously
adopted by the American Con-
gress here.
The resolution drafted by Senior
Arias Of Uruguay recommends The
nations of the new world to adopt
as a policy of International relations
the principle that every act carried
out against any of them in violation
of precepts universally recognized by
international law be considered an
offense to all these states and. there
fore. to provoke uniform and COM
mon reaction by all"
Senior Puig of Ecuador recon-
mended action on a suggestion made
at the congress leading to the for
nation Of a League of American
Nations" Ricardo Alfaro of Panama
urged careful consideration of his
proposal before action in view OF
the efficient worE done by the Pan
American Union. He suggested that
if the new union would attempt to
convert the present bond OF CONNER
cial cooperation and cultural prog
ress into political bonds the invita-
ton to the union to cooperate In the
work would be tantamount to inVit-
ing it to destroy itself.
Senior PUG replied that the
League Of American Nations would
insure the political stability or the
American States and would repre-
sent a growth of Pan-AmeriCanism.
