HOT FINISH IN
 SOUTHERN LOOP
 PENNANT FIGHT

ATLANTA, Sept. 14.-Atlanta' s drop from the league leadership one day to the cellar the next is only one of the sensational oc- entrances that has made the 1928 Southern Association pennan chase the most interesting in his tory
 Only a few days ago. Birming ham and Atlanta were separated by but two points for the leader ship. Birmingham challenged the eligibility list of the Crackers and John D. Martin. association presi- dent, examined the Atlanta player roster.
 Finding the Crackers playing one more Glass A" man than the league allows one club, he threw put 14 victories. awarding them to opponents whom they had defeat ed. Thus the drop to the bottom of the league standing. Birming- hams unchallenged leadership however. was short lived.
 Memphis and Little Rock, two teams which have shown only flashes of championship calibre have within the past two weeks jumped to the forefront, both now pecking at the Barons lead with either in a position to nose out the Birmingham team at the last moment.
 Rell J. Spiller, Atlanta owner, has protested the II games re- moved from his clubs won column but so far has apparently made little headway in getting them back.

GOLF INTERFERING WITH EDUCATION.

college when you get out of high school. In the old days, college boys had nowhere 10 go when they came out of college. but now they go to work in filling stations All they have to do is to be there to hand over the money whenever robber ap- pears (generally another college man). l think everybody ought to have fine education. even if you can't make living at it.
 Its good to know that you know more than the people that you have to ask for jobs from. Not that this has anything to do with the sub ject but how is the old town any how? How's the water. has it clear ed up any? You never had any trouble with it when l was mayor. That was the first thing l would do every morning was to see that the water was clear. 1 think they made d big mistake by ever letting me out.
 How is the Parent Teachers as sociation, still telling the teachers how to teach their children things that they couldn't teach 'em at home themselves. These high schools down south here where I am now arc coming along fine. they are getting some splendid coaches. Who's got the most votes out there now, the North or the south side of the tracks? You might think the north side had more money, but they haven't, they only owe more The south side pays rent and the north side pays interest on mortgages. Now all this ought to be warning enough for anybody. After reading this. they certainly would go on at their own peril.

SLAYER RESOLVES CATHOLIC CHURCH
ObreSon'S Assassin Issues New
 Statement

Mexico City, Aug. IS UP)-Jose de Leon Toral, confessed assassin Of President elect Alvaro Obregon, to- day had sought to switch any blame from the Roman Catholic clergy even while the government was presenting new evidence to link Mother Super for Conception more closely with the crime.
 Toral sent statement from the prison, where he awaits trial for the murder, upholding the recent state ment of Bishop De la Moras that the clergy had no part in the, shooting to death of General Obregon.
 "The bishops words are entirely sensible and 1 am confident that President Gales and directors of the Obregonista party will see the merit of them," Torals statement said.
 ''I never have said I considered myself an agent of God. If l con- s.dered myself so and had proof, such as Joan of Arcs voice, it would he a sacrilege to think of any re- traction.
 II can die happiest if I know that my blood will be the last shed in this cause"
 Meanwhile Nalente Quintana, chief of the secret service. has given tes- timony that further duplicates Moth- ep Superior Conception in the crime. He testified that when Toral was taken to the mother superior's home, shortly after the crime, the first question the assassin asked was:
 Mother. are you ready to die with me-"
 The defense vigorously contradict cd this testimony, in previous claims pointing out that the mother super ior's conduct at the time Toral was taken before her was such that she showed no knowledge of the crime.
 The mother superior is held as one of the accessories and is blamed as the intellectual sponsor of the killing of the president-elect.

was on Smiths list of callers today.
 The governor informed Dr. Strat- on in letter of three paragraphs yesterday that unless he consented to repeat his charges against Smiths public record in the Calvary Baptist church of which he is pastor and allow smith to reply where they were made, the proposed debate would be out Of the question.
 "The answer to my request to ap- pear in your church before your practitioners under the conditions l mentioned is yes or mo-" Smith wrote, adding he suggested the meeting not as a candidate or as a personal matter, but as governor Of the state of New York.
 Dr. Straton was reported, at Greenwood, \. Y, as having eX- pressed amazement at Smiths letter when shown newspaper accounts of it. He was quoted as saying the gov ernor had written 10 him in the first place as "a candidate for president of the United States and that is why he wanted to get into Calvary Bap- tist church."
 If the governor refused to meet him outside Of his church. Dr. Strat0n said he would hire the larg- est hall he could find, probably Sep temher ' or s, and notify the gov crnor that I am going to repeat in that hall the exact sermon to which he objected"
 smiths stand from the start has been one vigorously opposed to such a proposition and his friends today were certain that he would enter into no face to face discussion with the minister unless that meeting was held in the New York clergy mans own church.

SMITHS ADDRESS
 JUST A WEEK OFF
Next Wednesday Is Date Of
 Formal Notification

Albany, N. Y., Aug. l5 LP-A week from tonight on the steps he so often climbed years ago as a member of the state legislature, Governor Smith will inform the na- ton where he stands on what he believes to be the issues of the day. The notification exercises will thrust the democratic presidential nominee into the campaign for the presidency. and there is every indi- cation that he is anxious to get | them over with so he can take the
 stump with the acceptance speech
 as his chief background.
 No speaking itinerary, however, has been mapped out for the gov ernor beyond the notification cery-
 mony and it is doubtful whether he will actually get under way in the campaign before Labor Day. He
 has several engagements before then in New York and New Jersey, but national politics are expected to b- avoided ill whatever remarks he makes.
 Smith has completed his aCcyp-
 tance address and had promised to deliver printed copies to press asso- citations for advance mailing to
 their newspapers by noon today. Arrangements are being made 10 handle the largest crowd ever to assemble on the grounds of the state n a pjt01 Tho Gt a | n, ,,I, h,It because of the small amount Of space on the east steps where the

Beverly Hills. Cal, Aug. 15 UP) -Wlli Rogers. cowboy humorist, is convinced golf is interfering with ed ucaticn.
 In a foreword which he wrote for The Watchtower, the first year book published by the Beverly Hills High school, he said it would be impossible 10 enlarge the high school building i. ."because it might interfere with the golf links.''
 His foreword follows:
 This is not really d foreWord it's a warning. Every book or maga-
 zine should have a warning. the same where there are signs warning the
 trains to look out for the cars. The electric lines out there killed more people than the war. They don't run fast until they get near a crossing and they never will hit one person
 in a car, they cant monkey their tune away with only one they wait for a load.
 Warns Against Reading "But that's got nothing to do with this warning, this one is telling you to look out for this magazine. You
 are liable to sneak up on it and read it before you know you have done it if it wasn't for the warning. Course people don't pay much attention to warnings, they think they are just put there by people With nothing else to do: but 1 want to tell you that | is not the case with me. I am busy and when l take time to warn you to lay off this Almanac, l mean il, Time is valuable nowadays, and peo- pie haven't got any time to be monk
 eying with this thing.
 II want to warn parents espe-
 cially. for if they read this they will wonder Why do We send them to
 school But if they don't read it
 why they will still think you are learning something. They get these l illustrated hand bills out every year
 in all the schools, just to keep their
 minds off any work that the teach-
 CTS might have given them to do. | Some high school started 1t as a
 substitute for study and the rest ot course have followed
 Has No Tradition
 NOW, Beverly is q new school and I am glad of that for if you 1 don't take my warning and go read 1 this you won't have to read about | Tradition. The school has abso-
 lutely no Tradition It was started to keep our children from going to 1 Hollywood. In fact, it cost us over
 a million dollars just to keep you 1 out of Hollywood and it's evil influ- ences You would have learned more if you had gone to Hollywood school, but it was not what we
 wanted you to learn. l want you to know we had to move two oil wells
 to make room for the thing.
 We could enlarge the school but would interfere with the golf course
 There are thousands of people learning to play golf to every one learning to read. You don't have tc know about history to get along but you certainly do have to know how
 to putt, There are people playing
 golf in America today that think the word Coolidge is an advertisement
 for some new tangled refrigerator.
