ANALYZFNG 4 FANS

!. Baseball fans, prepare to get mad. Any genuine
Ian can do that easily enough and here's real provo
cation:
According to Dir. Thaddeus L. Bolton, professor
OF psychology IN Temple University Philadelphia, any
man who will stand in line for hours for seat in the
not bleachers and then shout himself hoarse roofing
Tor baseball team is not we'll balanced mentally
The well balanced man." he explains, in the irri-
tatlng way that scientists have. will become fan
atlcal IN his love for particular sport If he does
he he is suffering from mental hypertrophy' And
that is a dreadful thing
"A hypertrophy,'' the professor kindly explains
is growth. There mental and physical hyper
trophies Physically they manifest themselves in the
form of corns, bunions boils, etc Mentally in the
case OF the baseball fan, by tendency toward over
ardent hysterlcal devotion to particular sport
NOW, It easy enough to what the professor
is driving at And the most annoying thing about is
that Wien you look at the matter calmly, it's evident
that he's correct in his diagnosis But what fan cares
hang whether he's hypertrophed or not, so long as
his club wins the seasons trophy?
The trouble with scholarly gents is that they seem
to assume people want to be calm and logical and
minded Certainly people don in the realm of sport
especially baseball. They want to be violently part-
san, and pride themselves on it.

POST CONFERENCE COMMON SENSE

He appears to have been warmly seconded in this
statement by the chief American delegate and the two

during the conference seemed to have disturbed
them SO much as newspaper headlines indicated
The chief spokesman of the japanese delegation
In hls farewell speech declined to view the results
the conf ereilce as rupture of negotiations Attempts

All OF this may make some people wonder what all
the big excitement about if the failure of the con-
ference is to be regarded nconsequentia Or it
may be that even III their failure agree at this time
the delegates feel strongly that sense has al
ready begun to limit national interest in desire for
great naval ornaments and that common sense will
sooner or later win in spite of diplomatic futiity

AL MAY STRIKE
new OBSTACLES
IN CLEAR FIELD
M'Adoo Not to Run, but His
Friends Might Demand
That Smith Retire, Too.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Demo-
cratic leaders today planned t.
take advantageFof William w. Nc.
Adoo's decision not to be presi.
Dental candidate to heal the scars
remaining from the Madison Square
Garden battle of 1924.
While many took the position
that the Californian's action vir-
tually gave the nomination to Gov
ernor Smith of New York, others
expressed the fear it might precipi-
tate another conflict between the
wings represented by those two an
tagonists.
The great fear is that McAdoo's
fairly clear intimation that Smith
ought to submerge personal feelings
in the welfare of the party may
provoke the Californian's followers
TO demand such a remuneration by
the New Yorker.
Though Smith himself might be
inclined to follow such course, his
followers, who feel he has a clear
field, probably never will agree to it.
- May Seek New Leader
is in the attitude to be as
suffied by McAdoos disciples and
Smiths worshippers that the great
est danger of another conflict lies.
The only advantage in McAdoo's
statement at this time is that such
a controversy would occur before
the convention.
IT is known many of the Nc
Adoo group will go over to the
Smith camp. These include such
leaders as Daniel G. Roper, former
commissioner of internal revenue;
Hollins Randolph, prominent Geor-
gia politician, and M. L. Fox, treas
urer-secretary of McAdoo's 1924
committee. The latter recently ex-
pressed the belief in the Atlantic
Monthly that Smith had the only
chance Of success in the election.
But many others may not be
willing to accept Smith. They may
seek new leader for the south
ern and western wings previously
represented by McAdoo, and therein
lies the chance of another faction
al fight.
Party Farley Is Expected
There is nobody of McAdoo's
statue in sight. William Jennings
Bryan, great force for rallying the
drys and political fundamentalists,
is dead. The South is hungry for
a chance at patronage. Thus the
practical politicians foresee break
up Of the solid McAdoo States next
tear, and an, excellent chance that
Smith may be given his opportunity,
If only to end once and for all the
dissension on which the party
f1oundered in 1924. n
1t would not be surprising If
pr6iAineat Democratic chieftains,
81 as Franklin d. Roosevelt or
Carter Glass, called conference Of
party leaders in the hope of chart
ing a definite course in the light
of McAdoo's withdrawal.
