SILENCE STILL IS
 H00VER'S CUSTOM
No Comments Except Speeches
 and Statements

Stanford University. Cal, Aug. 14 --PA-SiIence still is the rule Of Herbert Hoover in his campaign for the presidency.
 The republican candidate himself 1as dissipated any thought that with the delivery of his acceptance ad- dress he would speak more or less freely on the recurring political in- cidents of the day. His utterances for publication will be confined to his public addresses and such written statements he may issue.
 While Hoover occasionally has con- ferences with the correspondents who are accompanying him on his first swing across the country, he has laid down a rule against quoting what he has to say. He appreciates the difficulties thus presented to the news writers, but insists upon adher- ing to his official policy. which he hold has worked out very satisfac- torily from his own point of view.
 This is one particular in which his campaign has differed from most of
  would make it different in another respect; that of sharply limiting the number of speeches to be made be- fore election day. However, most of his advisers believe he will be un- able to realize this desire because of the great pressure that will be brought to bear upon him by party leaders in various parts of the country as the campaign grows in intensity.
 Before getting back to Washing ton on the afternoon of August "A, Hoover will make two fixed speeches. one at Los Angeles Friday, and the other at his West Branch, la. birthplace on August 21. and then he will remain silent until perhaps on Labor day.
 After that time his plans are in complete. and no definite place has been selected for his address then.
 The republican nominee cannot conduct front porch campaign as Wilson and Harding undertook to do for the reason that there is not the space around his Washington home to accommodate any appreciable crowd. So the bulk of his speech making will have to be on the road.
 Conferences with Hiram s. Cor bett. national committeeman. and other republican leaders Of Arizona. about concluded his discussion here with party leaders on the matter of organization and strategy in his cam- paign. He will receive courtesy calls from republican governors and sena- tors as his train moves eastward. but his next general conference will be deferred until week from tonlor- row, when he will meet with leaders in the corn belt at Cedar Rapids.
 The nominee will get as much rest AA possible during the next three

W ASHINGTDN
Nathan Blacksmith


 A three run rally in the eighth inning gave the Nathan Hale team a 12 to 9 victory over the smith outfit in d closely contested Rotary league game at Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon. Both pitchers were wild scores.
 The winners were the first to break into the scoring column getting a run on q pass and a three base blow. The little smith team made great rally in the third session and went into the lead chasing across three runs after the opposing pitcher hit q streak of wildness. The lead was short lived. however, for the Nathan Halers came back in the next canto and pounded in four runs on four safe blows. The losers made a desperate rally in the last of the sixth inning and knotted the count at seven all. The Nathan Hale team took the lead once again in the seventh and from then on were never headed.
 kastancuk started on the mound for the Nathan Halers and although he was wild he pitched a great game during the six innings that he toiled. He allowed but three safe hits and famed 10 smith batters. He was backed up sensationally by his team mates and especially by his outfeld. Nichisti, who relieved him

LOUIS thld) kaplan still Is pur- sued by the relentless streak of hard luck that has kept him out Of the ring for long time and has retarded his progress to great eX- tent Scheduled to meet Bruce Flowers in Hartford Wednesday night after postponement from last Friday night, boil has devel- oped on kaplan's left elbow and he has been forced to call off the bout for the time being.
 kaplan's physician states that he will be ready for the fight by next week so it is expected that he will be ready to step in against the Har- lem Negro after the boil heals up.
 Last Friday night was the origi- nal date for the bout but rain came Now kaplan has his old ailment of boils and the bout which has drawn a tremendous amount of in- terest from fight fans all over the state, will have to be held at a later date.
 The sudden temperament devel- oped by the weather has certainly prevented the promoton successful ly of outdoor boxing shows in this section. It appears that just when the promoter selects a. date for what promises to be really good bout. rain spells all his plans.
 The large and enthusiastic at tendance at the police boxing bouts last week shows that New Britain fans would have taken very kindly to the tournaments which were ten- tatively planned by the Mohawk A. C. If these club officials had been able in any way at all to carry out their plans. there would have been series of boxing bouts conducted here.
 The annual track and field meet of the playgrounds is scheduled to be held tomorrow at Willow Brook park. This is where the people of this city will have an opportunity to see the future athletes of the city in action.
 Tonight at Walnut Hill park the Stanley Works baseball team will have the opportunity of leaving no doubt as 10 its right to hold the championship of the Industrial Baseball League The Buttmakers are scheduled to meet the Russwins in battle tonight at the park. This will be the second last game of the season for the Stanley Works team.
 The league schedule comes to a close a week from next Thursday night.
 The Stanley Rule team all but got out of the cellar last night when it defeated the Landers Frary &; Clark team Bets are being placed that the Rulers will be better than last in the league before the schedule is ended.
 Had this team paid attention to baseball at the beginning of the year. it would have been riding high in the standing at the present time. Man for man, it compares favorahly with many other teams in the league, but the ambition wasn't there.
