DEMS TO PLAN
FOR CAMPAIGN
Will Meet Wednesday
To Name Commit
tees, Chairman

NEW YORK, July T.-tPl-During
the coming week machinery will be
set up for the presidential campaign
OF Governor Alfred Z. Smith.
On Wednesday the national COM
mittee holds its first meeting for Sc
lection Of a chairman and other
business. Both Gov. Smith and his
running mate, Senator Joseph I.
Robinson, will attend, and it is gen.
orally expected that when that meet
ing adjourns the strategy of the
campaign will have been definitely
settled.
1t is believed that the governor
will in a large measure dictate this
strategy and that the national COM
mittee will function chiefly in devils
ing ways and means rather than In
originating plans Of battle.
The governor returned TO Albany
today after a one day trip to Della
ware to attend the funeral Of William
Raskob, son Of John j. Raskob,
chairman of the finance committee Of
General Motors and a close friend Of
the governor.
Tuesday he will come to New York
and Wednesday will thrash out with
the national committee details OF the
campaign, the n n features Of which
his supporters have intimated he has
already settled in his own mind.
Despite the reticence Of the gov
ernor, it has been learned that he
will suggest to the committee an
eight weeks campaign, during which
he will deliver not more than two
speeches in any one week. He will
tell them that he wants the speeches
given at strategic points about the
country and that they should all be
broadcast on a national radio hookup.
Each speech will be different but all

tive craftsmanship"

like a salesman and can best sell his
own goods by telling how good they

HORNSBY HAS
TIGHT Hold ON
TOP POSITION
Boston Manager Still
Fourth In Homer
Hitting; Benton Is
Leading Pitcher

NEW YORK. July 7.@P-With
the Braves sinking in pieces all
about him. Rogers Hornsby retained
the batting lead Of the National
league through the week ending on
Independence Day, according 10 fig
ures revealed today and including
games Of July a. The Rajah perched
on top with a mark of .391, repre-
senting 50 singles, p doubles, two
triples and IL home runs in 66 games.
The Boston manager lost some
ground 10 Hack Wilson and Jim Bot

run race, but hung oman fourth place
by virtue Of his fourteen. Wilson led
on Wednesday evening with 10 to
Bottomley's is and Del Bissonette's

As Hornsby held his lead among
batters, 50 did Larry Benton cling
to the top in the pitching table. The
Cincinnati Red head added two vic
tories and two complete games to his
string in the week ending Wednesday.
Benton now has won fourteen and
lost three games in $50 2-3 innings
Of pitching without relief.
St. Louis players again are promi-
nent in the list Of individual cham
pions. Bottomley leads in runs
scored with 66, and is tied for the
top in doubles and triples. With
HOrnsby he shares two base honors
at twenty-four. His nine triples
match the output of Walker of Cln-
cinnati for first place.
B~issonette continues TO show the
way in runs batted in, with IS. Frank

G. G. P. READY
FOR CAMPAIGN
Good of Iowa Defin-
itely Announced to
Manage West

WASHINGTON. July 7.-lP-Her-
bert Hoover moulded into shape to-
day the organization in which nc
will rely in his campaign for the
presidency.
James w. Good, former repre-
sentative from Iowa, was definitely
announced as head Of the western
campaign, and then Mr.. Hooyer.s
campaign manager, Hubert work
went into conference on the eastern
situation.
Appointment OF Mr.. Good was an
nounced by Chairman Work Of the
republican national committee
shortly after Good talked with the
republican nominee. IL ended Cos
sip that Mr.. Good, who was n Of
Hoover's chief lieutenants In the
pre-convention fight. would not par
ticipate in the election organization.
Good served as western manager
in the pre-convention campaign ~
President Coolidge in 1924 and late
in the Hoover drive this year he was
called in to take charge. He was
optimistic over the outlook today
and centered his discussion on the
western situation on farm relief.
There must be legislation" he
declared, ito make ample provision
| for the adjustment Of the farm prob
lem. The west is republican and
believes in protection and knows
that the principle Of the protective
tariff must be applied TO the settle
ment Of the farm problem"
With his resignation now in the
hands Of President Coolidge and his
organization taking definite shape
Mr.. Hoover was about ready today 70
pick a definite hour for leaving the
city for his home in Palo Alto, Cal
where he will receive official noti-
fication Of his nomination. Some
time next week IL the nearest date

sters just to add them to their line
ups.
The two players are Chalmer Cis-
sell and Willie kamm. The White
Sox paid 500, 900 in cash and players
for Kamm five years ago, and his
brilliant playing at third base from
the date Of his debut presaged
bright days for the team. Recent
batting averages gave Kamm a mark
Of PAS. That's hardly 100000 worth.
Cissell Is the young shortstop pur-
chased by the Sox for around Sl25,-
600 last year from the Portland club
Of the Pacific Coast league. Just
the other day Chalmer was batting
.246. Gehrig, who cost the Yanks
nothing, bats .357.
Cissell came up with a reputation
of being a first-class hitter as well
as a brilliant infileder. He has lived
up 10 his reputation as a fielder.
and with more experience is expected
70 improve in his hitting. His work
az shortstop already stands out as
one Of the bright spots in the play
of the White Sox.
The Chicago club also votes two
pitchers who would look swell on any
ball club. They are Ted Lyons and
All Thomas.
1t is generally agreed that nor
mally a good a car be built
around two or three star players.
Bucky Harris, manager Of the Wash
ington Senators, recently expressed
this view in simplifying a statement
that an a~ll-star team. was not nec-
essary in developing a pennant win
ming outfit.
In Cissell and Kamm the White
Sox have two Of the greatest infield-
ers in the game. Either one of the
pitchers named. under ordinary cir
cumstances, might be expected 70 fur
nish the third man" Yet the White
Sox are wallowing near the cellar.
The situation in Chicago isn't Q
pleasant one for Ray Schalk to con-
template. The addition of Cissell. the
return 70 playing form Of Johnny
Mostil, the brilliant work OF Thomas
last year, the remarkable showing o.
Moe Berg as a catcher, and the pros
poets OF the club in general over the
winter threw White Sox fans into Z
state approaching a frenzy Of enthu-
siasm.
The playing strength still seems "a
be present on the team, so you car
figure out who is drawing the blame
IN the meantime, Willie Kamm and
Chalmer Cissell, who might well be
aiding one Of the other clubs in the
scramble for second or third place
an drawing the attention and glory
therefrom. are just playing for the
record books and not doing much OF
that.

BY NORMAN E. BROWN

The collapse Of the Chicago White
Sox. one of the most discussed fea-
lures Of the American league season
TO date, is made doubly tragic by the
fact that as a result of it 1925, 900
worth Of young baseball material is
going to waste.
This happens at a time when just
six other clubs in the league would
be materially strengthened by the
addition of either one or both Of
these players. And what is more 70
the point, any one of these clubs
would just about double the price
the White Sox paid for these young
