recent wholesale raids in New York
City by Federal prohibition agents
were having bad effect upon the
fortunes of the Republican Party in
the city and State.
The report continues.
Mrs. Willebrandt was plainly an
noyed today by deductions drawn
from her conference with Messrs.
Hoover, Machold and Hill.
ut is preposterous," she said that
Mr.. Hoover or any other candidate
for a high and dignifed office such
as the Presidency of the United
States would presume to control a
public officer in the discharge OF Of
fetal duties. Mr.. Hoover has not
done so and would not do so. The
conduct of my official duties was not
discussed with Mr.. Hoover"
Mrs. Willebrandt did not deny that
the effect of prohibition on the New
York campaign was brought up in
the discussion, saying that it is an
issue there Of perhaps greater I'M
port than in any other State. She
declared in discussing the matter in
formally that there had been no
mention by any one in the confer
ence of her activities in dry law en-
forcement.
There was no suggestion that the
Government cease its activities IN
prohibition cases, she said, and added
that the recent raids on the night
clubs in New York were not men
toned.
Mrs. Willebrandt did not explain
why she was called to Mr.. Hoover's
personal headquarters while Mr..
Machold and Mr.. Hill were there.
She declined to give any especial
reason for participating in a confer
ence which presumably dealt entirely
with practical politics in New York
and policies to be followed by the
Hoover managers and the new Re-
publican State Chairman.
Mrs. Willebrandt could properly
state what Mr.. Hoover did not do or
say, but how could she assert what he
would not do? She was evidently
shot in the collar" when interviewed
by the persistent newspaper cores
pondent. She admitted too much,
however, when she was quoted as
follows:
The one to deal with Mrs. Willie
brandt is her superior officer, At
torney General Sargent and he evil
IDENTIFY has had some conversation"
on this all important subject. In
pandering to the vanity of some of
the Republican women in this country
by elevating one of their number to
this responsible office, most I'M
fortunate selection seems to have been
made in naming this brilliant, but
indiscreet woman to this important
position.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

The political situation in the
! United States at the present time is
without precedent in the history OF
this republic. 1t seems to portend the
disintegration of both parties. Dem
ocrats, fguratively speaking wearing
the uniform of their organization are
inside the Republican army lines and
Republicans wearing the habiliments
of their party are inside of the Dem
ocratic army lines. The two vita
points or issues involved are whiskey
and religion.
The conservative Democrats rallied
under the leadership of Hon. VIM. G.
McAdoo, now of California. He met
with political defeat at the last DEM
ocratic n. Convention in New York,
He bitterly opposed Gov. Alfred &.
Smith on the liquor question. 1t was
believed by his supporters that his
retirement from the presidential race
would be followed by similar action
on the part of the redoubtable DEM
ocratic leader of New York State.
However. he "reckoned without his
host, for being backed by that pow
erful Democratic Tammany Hall or
ganization, supplemented with abund-
ant funds, ne succeeded in capturing
enough delegates to the Houston Con-
vention to ensure his nomination on
the first ballot.
Then followed a scramble to get on
the Smith band-wagon, while his enc
mics devoted their time to the con-
struction of platform, so composed
as to make it impossible for him to
stand upon it in view of his liberal
views on the whiskey question. The
ATTEMPT to make it "bone-dry" was
successfully accomplished, but the
master politician was shrewd enough
to send a telegram from New York
stating his unequivccable position and
pledging himself to support the laws
as they are written, but giving addi-
tional assurances that he would use
the power of the presidential office
to change them.
This brought about the charge that
he had bolted the platform, built
by his enemies and this justified his
enemies in boiling him as the nominee
of the party. The hot-bed of the ku
Klux Klan has always been in the
Southern States, notably so IL
Georgia. These Klan members are
pledged against Roman Catholics
Jews and Negroes. The naming Of
Alfred E. Smith, who is an lrishmar
or rather more properly speaking Of
Irish descent, which is practically the
same thing, and Irish people as rule
are Roman Catholics did not set wei
on these Democratic stomaches in the
Southland.
1t produced cases of violent vomit
ing, which ailment has been going OF
ever since. A dish of crow or pole
/ cat or buzzard could not have BEEF
more nauseating to these scions OF tn
Southland. AS a means of adding t.
the flavor and to kill the scent, so t
speak, Senator Joseph T. Robinson
of the rock-ribbed Democratic Stat
of Arkansas, was thrown in to max
the dish or dishes more palatable
This action did little good, but no
enough to disguise the disgusting

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The Big Ten
Conference basketball race entered
its final fortnight today with three
teams, Indiana, Purdue and WiScon-
sin, tied for first place.
Purdue, toppled from the lead by
Wisconsin and later responsible for
reducing Wisconsin, tonight will
meet Minnesota at Lafayette. The
Gophers, in the cellar position, are
not expected to offer great resist
ance to the speedy Boilermakers.
Indiana, risen to a tie for first
through the divided victories of
Wisconsin and Purdue, also is ex-
pected to win from Iowa in their
game at Iowa City tonight.
In the only other game scheduled
for tonight Michigan will meet
Ohio State on the latter's floor.
Northwestern, given only an out
side chance to gin the title, will
meet Chicago Tuesday night, and
Illinois, Thursday night.
Saturday Indiana is host to Michi-
gan. the team which administered
to the Hoosiers their first defeat of
the season.

a N eventful week of basketball
L n has just moved by and In
dianas thousands of hardwood fans
are girding themselves for the most
exciting three weeks of the year
which will end Saturday night,
March II, when he Indiana State
High School champion for 1928 will
be crowned at the new Butler field
house. The past week saw the
State independent tournament move
by, the annual Big Four regional
tourney played, a flock of high
school games and an important
week in college circles.
THE Big Ten Conference was
l. thrown into threeway dead
lock when Purdue was defeated by
Indiana and Wisconsin and when
the Boilersmakers retaliated by
downing the Badgers in return
game. 1t is extremely possible that
the race will end in a triple tie
Purdue, Indiana and Wisconsin each
are tied with seven victories and
two defeats. Tonight Purdue plays
a weak Minnesota team at Lafay-
cite and Indiana meets Iowa at Iowa
City. Purdue has the easiest shedding
and the best chance to finish on
top. After tonight's battle the Boil
ermakers meet Iowa at Lafayette,
and Minnesota at Minneapolis. The
Lambertmen should experience little
trouble in any of those three games.
Wisconsin has harder going. Next

Saturday the Badgers meet Iowa,
then Michigan and wind up with
Illinois. Both are dangerous and
likely to spoil the Badgers title
hopes. Following the Iowa game
Indiana meets Michigan and I'LL

vored by the outlook.
INDIANA CENTRAL has closed its
Il basketball season with a record
Of five victories and twelve defeats
Coach Bert (Red) Haviland had
great team and the whole season
was one of almost exclusive fresh
man play. Of the squad of sixteen
men, only one was senior and but
three Juniors. In the twelve defeats
there was two-point loss to De-
Paw, a one-point defeat by Frank
lin in an overtime, two points to

might be said that little more

Il players be themselves" he re-
marks. whenever I read where a
manager is attempting to change a
young ball players style. can't help
but feel he is making a mistake.
Most youngsters play the game
pretty naturally and as they go
along, they develop along natural
lines and usually this development
yields satisfactory results.
1.-THE fact that a hitter has an
awkward stance or that a pitcher
works with an odd motion shouldn't
mean anything if he is getting his
base hits or winning his ball games.
f 'It would be interesting to know
how many of these players have
been ruined by the efforts Of some
old-timer to bring them around to
routine formula of work"
President Barnard recalled that
even such a rare product of raw
genius as Mr.. Tyrus Raymond
Cobb had not escaped this urge
for standardized perfection.
Il Il
" REMEMBER that when he first
l. came up twenty-odd years ago
some one found fault with the way
he stood at the plate with his heels
close together. 1t was argued he
never would be able to hit curve
ball pitching that way. Yet the
young man managed to get along
fairly we'll, in spite of this horrible
handicap"
1t develops that an effort was
made to change the pitching style
Of Mr.. Wiley Moore, the great re-
lief pitcher of the Yankees, who
was a sensation in his debut wear
last season.
One of the Yankee field generals
did not care for the way Mr.. Moore
was delivering the ball. 1t seems
he wasn't coming back far enough
with his arm, thus working with
restricted leverage which supposedly
was detrimental to his effectiveness.

commanded the Yankee field gen.

way you are throwing it."

1T so happens that Mr.. Moore

it Is physical impossibility for
him to come back any farther with
his throwing arm than he does.
1t also happens this very condi-
ton is the secret of the amazing
success Moore is able to get with
his most effective pitch-a peculiar
hopping ball which has been chris
tened "the Sinker."
