FARMERS STORM CONVENTION:
 CONN. REMAINS E0R E02!R! COOLIDGE
Desist in Efforts to Enter Hall Only When Threatening Clubs of Policemen Force Them Back-Led By Ex.Lieut. Gov. Bush of Indi- ana They Shout Anybody But Hoover' and Predict Defeat of Commerce Secretary at Elec- tion This Fall.

Kansas City, June 13 R-Th. throng of farmers. protesting the nomination of Herbert Hoover and gathering numbers as it proceeded, stormed the republican convention hall today and were prevented from carrying their cries to the delegates only by the threatening clubs of po- licemen
 Farmers Frustrated
 Frustrated in their initial endeav- or to storm the interior of the con- vention hall. the farmers, shouting We don't want Hoover" at the top Of their voices, surged outside the hall in a disoNlerly and noisy fash ion.
 The throng which numbered per- led to the very doors of the audi torium by Edgar D. Bush. formerly lieutenant governor of Indiana and now the republican candidate for that office. The enrolling column of protesters swarmed right up to tli- ilolll uOOI Ol lIIt and Were half way through the run way which borders the hall proper when several squads of policemen rushed up and by strenuous methods forced them back outside the door.
 Anybody But Hoover
 Having been repulsed in their first attempt. the farmers stood outside and shouted "Once more the farm CTS get kicked out" and Anybody but Hoover"
 Evidences were that the police would be able to hold the crowd in check although the volume of anti Hoover people around the conv.<- ticn doors was gaining steadily and the leaders were still insistent upon getting inside the convention for a monster demonstration.

Despite the Fact That Hoover Has Been Con- ceded Enough Votes to Win the Nomination on the First Ballot Connecticuts Delegation Refuses to Change Plan of Supporting Coolidge -Undecided Whether to Back Tilson for Vice-P Presidency
By W. J. C. Myers Associated Press Stan Writer

Kansas City, June 13 R-Stand- ing firm in the determination to vote for Calvin Coolidge and undismayed by the sweeping claims of the Hoover packers that the secretary of com- merce will win on the first ballot, the convention delegation in a one minute session before the opening of the big show today accepted mes- sage from Chairman J. Henry Rora- back that the delegations IF votes will be cast for the president on the first second, and succeeding ballots and that there is no second choice.
 Roraback was tied up with his work on the national committee and his message was delivered by Miss Katherine Byrne. national commit teewoman who presided over the brief meeting.
 Bingham Absent
 Senator Hiram Bingham was also absent as he was appointed a mem ber Of the subcommittee on resolu- tions at four o'clock this morning task of redrafting the blanks of other subcommittee, which arc drawing up blanks on specific sub jec's. Bingham may also have a hand in preparing the final draft.
 The stand of Connecticut for Coolidge continues to draw increased attention from the other state dele gs s.ions which are either wholly or partially opposed to Hoover and the ic To hot ho c q stand may be the rallying ground for all the Hoover opposition. Should Rorahack succeeded in blocking Hoover on the early ballots he will unquestionably be one of the big men in the convention.
 Tilson a Problem
 To the problem of how to cast it's vote for Coolidge for first place in view of the predominance of Hoover claims and generally accepted opin- ion that he will be nominated, is added that which arose out of the increasing strength shown early in the day by Col. John Q. Tilson. ma iority leader of the house Of repre- sentatiNes and a member from the
  president on the Hoover ticket. Til- sons candidacy thus far has had no appeal 10 the delegation as a whole although individual members said they preferred not 10 return and be obliged to explain why they did not support him in case his name should be placed before the convention. Lieut.. Gov. J. Edwin Brainard. dele gate from Tilson's district, Is one of those in a auandary on the mat ter. State Senator Roy c. Wilcox, also from Tilsons district has al- ready called on the house leader and others have sent word that they hope to give him helping hand if help should be needed.
 Up To Delegation
 Tilson has returned word that it will be for the Connecticut delega- tion itself to decide whether or not he shall be supported by his own

WOMEN PLAYING A CREDITABLt PART
Lend Color to Republican Convention Picture by
 Their Activities

Kansas City. June 13 Pl-The women republicans of the country have so far played a creditable part in this quadrennial convention They looked pretty and lent their colorful summer attire to the convention hall picture on the opening day, and then betook themselves to the little rooms where the four committees on credentials, resolutions, rules and order of business and permanent or ganizations met in the afternoon.
 Feminine noses never once be- came glossy as masculine coats were doffed in difference to the sultriness that blanketed Kansas City during first day
 Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant United States attorney gen. eral, was selected as permanent chairman of the important creden- tials committee, the only woman in the convention so far to hold the chairmanship of a committee.
 She also holds the honor of being the first woman to address the con- vention from the platform.
 Clears Room
 Calmly Mrs. Willebrandt called the credentials group to order and win precision disposed of the roll call and the calling of the first case. In loud. clear voice. long used in pro- scouting federal prohibition cases. she ordered the room cleared of all but members of the committee. the contestants. newspapermen and forthwith the room was cleared.
 Fellow women supporters Of Hoover, who came to watch the most active member of their crew preside at what promised 10 be heat ed fights for more than 60 seats in the convention hall were smiled upon sweetly by the chairwoman, but were unceremoniously herded

HARM RELIEF BIG
 PLATFORM PROBLEM
Prohibition Issue Satisfactorily Embodied in PlankinS
FLOOR FIGHT FORESEEN
Not Only Is Agricultural Issue Ger tain to Crop Up. But Action on Wet and Dry Matter is Bound to Be Argued At Length.

Kansas City, June 13 Pt-Hurd - ling the prohibition enforcement plank problem. the republican con- yention resolutions committee found itself blocked early today on the question of farm relief and after five hours adjournment at dawn to resume it's discussions in the middle forenoon.
 Law Enforcement
 The subcommittee Of 15 agreed in the early morning on a law en- forcement plank, substantially in the form as presented by Senator Borah ,of Idaho. Under it's pro- visions. the party would pledge it. self and it's nominees ito the ob- servance and vigorous enforcement'' of the eighteenth amendment, which head of flaw enforcement the plank reads as follows:
 we reatfirm the American consti- tutional doctrine as announced by George Washington in his farewell address to wit: The constitution which at any time exists until changed by the expressed and a,I- thentic act by the whole people is sacredly obligatory upon all"
 We also reaffirm the attitude of The American people toward the federal constitution as declared hy Abraham Lincoln: We are bv both duty and inclination bound to stick by that constitution in all it's letter and spirit from beginning to end. I an TOT Inc honest enforcement of the constitution. Our safety, our liberty depends upon preserving the constitution of the United States, as our forefathers made it inviolate.'
 "The people through the method provided by the constitution have written the eighteenth amendment into the constitution. The republi- can party pledges itself and it's nom lnees to the observance and vjgor- ous enforcement of this provision of the constitution"
 Ine iarm Flank
 The farm relief plank as pro- posed by the administration leaders provoked so much discussion that members of the committee were sat lsfied that an agreement was impos- slble until further conferences could be held, and it was for this reason that an adjournment was taken.
 The failure of the subcommittee to conclude it's iabors in it's over night session made it certain that the platform on which the party candidates are to stand in the No- Hember elections would not be pre- scented until tomorrow.
 After the subcommittee has wound up it's work. the entire reso- lutions committee must pass iudg- ment upon its action.

T0DAY'S SESSION
 QUIET AND DULL Convention Occupies Itself With
 Routine Business IS HUMID JUNE DAY
Band Plays in Stuffy Hall While Leaders Confer and Meeting Is In Virtual Recess - Delegates Mop BrOWS.

Convention Hall, Kansas City. Mo-, June 3 Pl-Ringed about with the tightening grip of the farm relief issue. but still unready to bring its troubles into the open. the repub- iican national convention occupied itself with other things today at a quiet and almost colorless second session.
 Quiet Inside
 While a delegation of McNary- Haugen demonstrators marched about the doors of the convention hall, venting their displeasure witf Herbert Hoover by shouting predic. tions of his defest for the presidency :, and making a noisy demand for !: 1 satisfactory farm relief plank in tho | party platform. proceedings within the hall itself concerned themselves quietly and almost sleepily with other things.
 With the platform committee deadlocked over the farm relief plank and not ready to report. the convention turned to the considera- tion of a delegate contest or two, the adption of routine reports from other committees. speech making and just plain waiting.
 Virtual Recess |.
 For a long period it stood at a virtual recess, while the band high up among the iron girders had full sway. the convention officers talked among themselves and the delegates and spectators tigited and mopped their brows in the increasing heat Of humid June day
 IL was 10:37 when Senator Fess of Ohio, temporary chairman, detached himself from group of leaders who had gathered about him on the platform, and began to hammer for order.
 At this time the thousands of seats reserved for spectators were more than half empty. The late corners poured in in increasing number. however. adding to the confusion and the noise already prevailing.
 Chaplain Prays
 Without waiting for any real quiet in the hall, Senator Fess, with one last despairing whack of his big wooden hammer introduced the Right Rev. Thomas F. Lillis of the Roman Catholic diocese of Kansas City. who offered the opening prayer while the delegates stood and be- came silent and sputtering kleig light threw the priest and the chair mans platform into blinding relief.

in itself, involving tactics and theories
entirely foreign to singles play.
For instance, many brilliant perform
ers among the women in the singles
game have been base line players. Molla
Mallory Is an outstanding example Of
this type. But the aggressive doubles
player must be able to command the
net position. A net-playing pair of
mediocre ability can beat two strong
with only back-court tactics-or one
back court and one net player. The
former combination makes defensive
team, the latter no team at all, but
simply two people on the same side OF
the net.
There was time when the zone up
and one back" theory was advocated
for women's doubles. But it was found
that this left too many openings, in
viting placements.
One of the most perfect doubles COM
binations have ever seen is the Boston
team of Palfrey and Palfrey. Fifteen
year-old Sarah Palfrey paired with her
sister Mianne, have developed system
which is a joy to watch in operation.
Always they are playing parallel except,
of course, while one Is serving. Then
the other stands just inside the service
line tnOC ali the way III at the metz aHQ
as soon as the service Is delivered the
server takes her place beside her part
ner and the two move together, catch
ing volleys as neatly from mid court as
from the net OF course there Is always
the danger of having returns driven at
their feet as they advance, but Sarah,
at least, has proved herself adequate to
this situation repeatedly, moving aside
with lightning speed to take the shot
from the ground. Mianne has a little
difficulty in handling this sort Of shot
and is caught off guard occasionally
but not so often as she would be by
placements If she had remained glued
to the base line.
Recently the Palfreys, within two
points of being defeated by Anne Town
send and Molly Thayer, Philadelphia
ranking pair, climbed out of rs hole
to take the match. And it was their
steady advance, even in the face Of de-
feat, which was the winning factor
Their short cross-court shots from halt
volleying and net position caught their
opponents fiat-footed continually. And
as an expert in the gallery remarked
Whether 1t is to win or lose, the young
sters play each shot as 1t should be
played"
Not once did they resort to the eau
tious slowing down or careful defensive
