BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
A dramatic political war between
two Of Americas outstanding motor
kings may furnish an interesting
sidelight to the coming presidential
campaign.
Republican leaders, it was learned
today, have decided to urge Henry
Ford, to take an active part in the
campaign in behalf of Herbert
Hoover's drive for the White House
This action was decided upon as
one means of offsetting the enlist
ment of John j. Raskob, financial
chairman of the gigantic General
Motors Corporation, in the cause of
Governor Alfred E. Smith, and his
selection as the new Democratic
national committee.
Ford Endorses Hoover
Ford already has endorsed Hoover
in a statement issued prior to the,
Kansas City convention. At that
time, the motor car declared
Hoover was the best equipped man
for the White House. among all the
Republican Candidates.
The Hoover leaders plan to get
some further expression from Ford
by the. time the campaign gets
under way and to broadcast 1t to
every corner of the country, as an
antidote Tor the Raskob endorse
ment OF Smith
There appeared little doubt among
Republican leaders but that Ford
would be a generous contributor.
to Hoover's campaign. Likewise
there appeared little doubt that
Raskob would be a generous con-
tributor to Smiths campaign.
If Ford should take no active
part, other than TO issue an en-
dorsing statement for Hoover. his
dollars, at least, would be fighting
those of Raskob. The two men in
cidentally have been bitter business
foes for many years, although re.

Hoover undoubtlv will confer with

king on the subject of organizing
his campaign. Their meeting, how

NEW YORK, H9-Putting inside
pitches on the outside Of the park
is the business Of the Big Four Of
home run hitters in the National
league.
It's a pretty batting race that
Hornsby, Bottomley, Hack Wilson and
B~issonette are making. It's a race
that's adding still greater punch TO
a gripping pennant contest IN the
senior circuit.
The four barons OF Lift are group
ed so closely that when BOttOmley
and Bissonette were tied for the
lead with Is each the other two were
deadlocked for second place with IL
each. Sunny Jim lost an o~nlortunity
to help his rating when one of his
four-base balls came in a game that
succumbed to rain in the third IN

Automatically the league total OF
homers has shot skyward and the
American league with its master
c~louter of all, Babe Ruth, stands sec
ond in home runs for tie season.
The National has 2s0. approximately
80 more than the American.

brigade. II is that Of Del Bisson-

Hack Wilson couldn't find the range
until he changed from a Giant 70 a

league in homers in 1926 and hit
36 doubles to finish third in that
division. He came right l7ck last
year to tie Cv Williams for the
home run leadership and 70 bang
out 80 doubles.
It's just the same old story with
