SMITH nomination SURE
AS DEMOCRATS START
CONVENTION IN HARMONY
Stampede for
Al on Opening
Vote Forecast

By United Press
HOUSTON, Texas, June 26.-A
II possible stampede to Cover
nor Smith on the first ballot was
forecast by George r. Van Nance,
Smith campaign manager, as the
Democratic convention opened to-
day.
1.-THE logic of events at Houston
and the general good feeling that
prevails indicate that Governor
Smiths popularity is so great that
it is doubtful, even If his managers
wished, that the nomination could
be delayed beyond the first ballot"
Van Nance said.
He also predicted a completely
harmonious convention, with no
fighting prohibition.
Van Nance said the Smith
forces have no choice for Vice
President and hope only that the
party deliberately will choose a
candidate who would be worthy Of
going to the White House should
any emergency require it.

saying, "if at first you don't sue

doned his idea OF having a bstsman

I remember that there was a ire

out that the pitcher must keep his

been starting their deliveries away
round to one side OF the pitching
rubber, giving q cross-fire effect 70
every pitch.
pitchers said they could not pitch
II they had 10 stand on the rubber
and one would have thought that the
game would be just about ruined.
The late Harry Pullian. president OF
the National league at the time, said
the order would stand and III expert
ence in the spring exhibition games
showed that IL would not work. II
would be rescinded. When the plan
was tried it was found simple and no
effort has been made since to have
the pitcher hop sll around the in
field.
