Boiling

Houston Post-Dispatch).
Let no one conclude that party boiling this year
is to be confined to the south. II there are southern
democrats dissatisfied with the psrty's nominee be-
cause OF his stand on the prohibition question, there
are republicans in the middle west who are as much
dissatisfied with the republican nominee because Of
his stand on the farm relief question, also upon his
stand, or rather, his failure to take a definite stand
on the dry issue. And even in the prohibition party,
there il a boiting element, John 3. Hammond, for many
years a national committeeman and leader Of the pro-
hibition party in Iowa, being one Of the group 70 de-
sert that party because Of what they term the leaning
Of the majority of its leaders toward Herbert Hoover.
Where q party loses some of its members because Of
its attitude toward some issue, it gains members for
that reason. It is apparent that there is to be a con-
siderable shifting OF voters from one party to another
this year. Party lines are being held in lighter re-
gard than perhaps ever before. But, it is not so sur
prising. The trend toward independence among voters
has been noticeable for a number Of years. The char
acter Of the issues this year-being Of the sort that
most voters have strong convictions on, one way CT
the other-merely accentuates the trend, and makes it
more visible.

Il was the biggest thing she had ever done.

you damned rotter. leave that girl
alone or get out Of here!"
Putty laughed and got up;
Like hell I will. old fellow. She
is mine as much as yours"
When Putty went into the hallway
Sir Henry was petrified. He knew
that Flavia had her eve on them.
She had seer Janet leave and now
Putty. Somehow, he must distract
Flavia's attention. He crossed and
took her arm.
Feel like dancing = BIT. Flavia?'
She pulled away ~nervously, and
looked toward the door.
In a minute
Sir Henry could feel her trembling.
Janet stood. her knees weakening,
as Putty stepped into Flavia's room
after her. Her face went white as
he slowly crossed and stood in front
Of her, threateningly.
I'm going to be the first nan 70

a minute the whistles are going 20

Janet put her hand over her mouth
70 stifle a scream. She reached out
and put a hand on his arm, plead
ingly.
"Putty-please, Putty. for Flavia's
sake get out Of here. Don't follow
me. You know what happened be-
fore. She IL so-sick-"
He grabbed her arm n . vise-like
hold that hurt her.

ties 70 blow"
Janet was blind with anger. She
could have killed him-but there was
no use in trying 70 pull away. Sud
denly the whistles started 70 blow.
Pandemonium let loose-nnd Putty
Frasped her about the waist and
pulled her 70 him brutally.
Things went black before Janet.
Then she felt herself released, and
looked up TO see Flavia standing in
the door-the same look on her face
that she had seen once before. Janet
though quickly and smiled, her
heart breaking. well. you caught
me that time. Flavia. I had to kiss
someone 10 celebrate the New Year.

Putty stood s~peechless. Janet put
her arm around his neck and forced
another smile.
He kisses nice. too."

Flavia, white and trembling, poured

AWRENCE J. BENTON is very
red-headed pitches for the New
York Giants and was born IN
L. Cincinnati He first saw Walnut
Hills in 1897 Maybe he didn't
see the hills until little later, but very
early in life he saw Fountain Square,
for that is the center of Cincinnati.
To date Benton has won 20 games for
the Giants this season. He has lost
only four He is apt to pitch the Giants
into the pennant. If they win, he will
get credit for pitching them into the
National League pennant
A Pitching Machine.
This same Larry Benton is the most
precise bit of pitching machinery now
operating In the National League, and
he can hold his own against anything
IN the American League. The Amer
lean League has some pitchers who are
pretty strong themselves but there Is
none In that circuit who bears more
marks OF really great winner than
this stout, strong, stubborn, red-headeo
son OF Cincinnati
OF course, he got away from Cincin~
natl That is the usual rule. A ball
player who is good seldom gets a show
In his home town for some reason that
is not apparent. 1t Is on the same
principle as honoring the wise prophet.
Brooklyn has not beaten Benton this
wear. nor has the Cincinnati club. nor
has st. Louis. He has four victories
each from Brooklyn and st. Louis. The
only team that has given him good and
hard battle is Chicago.
Every time Benton pitches he is apt
to move the Giants a notch nearer the
pennant, and whenever he loses the
Giants will grieve more than they do
when another pitcher loses 1t will be
like the old times when Christy Mathew
son was the shining LIGHT Of the Giants
When Matty lost the spirits of the
Giants were like curdled milk, until In
his later years when the players were
not SO lenient toward him and fire.
uuently accused him OF being careless
and pitching too hurriedly. Matty did
like TO get through a game as quickly
as possible.
Benton was party of the first part
In one Of the most foolish trades that
ever was made in base ball history by
a second division club. The Boston
Braves, needing assistance badly, and
needing 1t more than any other team
In the National League except the
Phillies. traded Benton. Thomas and
Taylor to the Giants on June 10, 1927
for Greenfield. McQuillan and Farrell
Smart base ball men threw up theit
hands and asked why They have been
asking ever since. That trade was as
one sided as any that was ever made
In base ball
In spite OF the fact that he was with
team that needed strengthening In
almost every department of the game
Benton was sent to New York for one

WALKER GAMBLING
IN EMANUEL BOUT
BY FAIRPI.AY.

NEW YORK. August 23.-Mickey
Walker will be gambling With his future
as a drawing card on the coast when he
tackles Armand Emanuel at San Fran
cisco on August 81
Mickey cannot lose his title because
Emanuel is a light heavyweight and
will have the pull in weights when the
pair come together. The loss of prestige
will be another matter that Jack kearns
will have to worry about.
Walker beat Mike McTigue when the
latter was champion Of the ITS pound
ers and stopped the veteran in the
first round recently. Emanuel boasts
two good showings against McTigue.
the youngster from California was the
one to hit the resin dust in the first
round of their second meeting
It was no secret that Walker has
designs on the light heavyweight title
and if it is put up to kearns Walker
will be sent out after the bigger crown.
Emanuel made a splendid showing,
for one of his limited experience,
against Tommy Loughran. Most likely
Walker figures that he can force a
match with Tommy il he is successful
in whipping Emanuel by wider margin
than Loughran did. The latter now
is being doomed for the heavyweight
title, and If 1t comes TO pass that
Tommy is crowned Mickey will have
some basis to his claim for meeting
with the Philadelphia
Should Emanuel whip Walker the
latter will not be the drawing card he
always has been Oh the coast meet
inc between Mickey and Ace Hudkins
figures to be the biggest attraction the
coast has had in years. Walker may
not like q dose of Hudkins after the
sensational opposition the Nebraskan
furnished in Chicago recently.
