let me tell about Baker until I got
as far as where Kimble poured
gasoline and oil on him and set his

told me if I told the truth on
Kimble, that if he confessed burn

in the electric chair or give me a
life sentence the same as Kimble.
He told me thy were going to put
me in jail and hold me under
$1,000 bond. Then he made me go
back and tell those men Kimble did
not tell me about Baker at ALL"
Rothrock denied threatening Mrs.
Taylor in any way and said her
story of sending to the electric chair
was "preposterouS." He denied a
$4,000 bond was mentioned.

YANKEE SLUGGERS
 AFTER NEW MARKS
Ruth and Gehrie to Report a
 Week Ahead of Regulars

New York, Jan. 1S.-~-Rabe Ruth is going after a new home run record. And so is Lou Gehrig. The mighty sluggers of the Yankees will report at the St. Petersburg training camp a week ahead of the regulars to prepare for another great sprint.
 Incidentally. the Babe has his bat pointed for a pile of 800 home runs. He has stack of 416 now which in- cludes a banner crop of 60 from the last campaign. Of course Ruth doesn't figure on corraling the deficit in the approaching drive but he believes in trying for more than last season.
 This departure in advance Of the main New York squadron is of the twins own initiative for they desire to get in some intensive practice be- fore the clubs swing into the cham- pionship schedule.
 You can bet your life I'm going to hit more than four homers next April" the Babe declared yesterday. ''1f you remember, that was all I turned out last April. I've always been troubled by a slow start and I'm going to see if reporting a week earlier will do any good"
 Gehrig also was held to four homers last April. and he is anxious to start active training.
 While Ruth was not involved in any motion picture work this win- ter. the famous players earnings averaged about $225,0o0 last year according to estimates.

TIGERS NOT TO
 BE IN REGATTA
Princeton Ny & C,nddits for
 EnhJ h QNynpi9

New York. Jan. 1s M-The long cheFtshed hope of many Princeton rowing men for the entry of their varsity crew in the Poughkeepsie championship regatta l. not likely to bs realised this year, but the Tigers may turn up as candidates for the honor of going to the Olympics. Princeton will be invited again to enter the Poughkeepsie races when the stewards of the intercollegiate rowing association meet here tomor- row but . expected to decline be- cause of an established policy of not competing in such long tests az the four mile varsity title event on the Hudson.
 The Tigers may take a different attitude. however. toward the Olym- picA where the championship Is over course of 5000 meters. ap- proxtmately one mile and a quarter and . distance much preferred by tho powers-that-be in Princeton rowing. Al . result of breaking Yale's long winning streak on the water last year, the Tigers have high hopes of turning out crack varsity eight this year, the best since Heinte Leh stroked the Orange and Black shell to fame a half dozen years ago.
 There Is every likelihood of keen competition in the eight-oared Olym- pic tryouts, which will be held at Philadelphia, July and 7, several weeks after the big college regattas.
 Columbia. 1927 Poughkeepsie champions. is especially hopeful of making a strong bid to repeat on the Hudson and then seek Olympic lau- rels. Young Dick Glendon has virtually the same crew that upset the dope at Poughkeepsie last June. Washington. and possibly California, also will come east again for the big events. The Naval Acamedy, with "Old Dick" Glendon back at the coaching helm will be another contender. Yale, which carried the 1es4 Olympic banner triumphantly at Paris. may stage comeback. The Ellis would like nothing better than to defend their international honors at Amsterdam.
 The date for the Poughkeepsie re- eatta may be fixed for June 19. earlier than usual, to permit the college crews plenty of additional time in preparing for the Olympic tryouts. Four years ago Yale inter- rupted its preparations for the liar ward regatta to go down to Phila- delphia and enter the Olympic try outs, capturing both events in spite of handicaps.

BY BYRON PRICE,


SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. September
27.-An interesting mathci-atic3l the
ory lies behind the Democratic bid for
Western electoral votes in 1928. It is
that Gov. Smith, once his views have
been presented fully to the Western
electorate, will win the bulk of the sup
port that went to Senator La Toilette
in the three-cornered campaign of 1924
Adding this to the vote given John w
Davis the dopesterS arrive at a Smith
victory in a number of States which
Coolidge carried without having a clear
majority over the combined vote of his
opponents.
This. it should be understood, is pure
~ a Democratic thesis, to which the
Hoover managers do not subscribe. Re-
publican dopesters say that most of
those who voted for La Toilette we're
Republicans. and that they naturally
will return to the paternal hearthstone
now that the La Toilette party is no
more
Base Hopes on Progressives.
The hopes of the Democrats in this
matter have their beginning in the we'll
established Western urge toward pro
greSSlve policieS"-a term often used
but variously defined.
Ii is tne Dolle1 or the Democrat c
managers that before the campaign is
over. Gov. Smith will have given con-
Vincing proof of his devotion to Pro
greSsive' principles.
Chairman Raskob has told his sub
ordinates in the Democratic national
organization that he expects Smith to
receive the support of 80 per cent or
more OF the Progressive vote, as rep
resented by the La Toilette strength
four years ago.
Here is the way the Democrats apply
their reasoning to the Rocky Mountain
States as a whole:
The group includes eight States, all
