Political prophets are forecasting the nomination of Al Smith at the Democratic National Convention be- ing held at Houston. As the dele gates gathered in the convention city the name Smith was heard more and more so that he is assured of leadership in the attempt to bring that party back into power. There was no doubt in the minds of ev- en his opponents that he would be named to head the ticket.
 However, his nomination is not without it's political losses. The dry forces find some anti-Smith forces wi a difference of opinion-son.e being in one force while others are iii the other.
 The big fight centered in the in corporation ill the platform, a plank endorsing law enforcement with the desireability and soundness of the prohibition statutes themselves. The dry forces are now behind Sen ator Reed.
 Not content with excitement of the convention around the general platform and principles, fist fight was staged on the 27th which added zest to the sessions. This was pre- cipitated when Senator Robinson quoted Jefferson's admonition to re- ject religious tests.
 The Democratic women are not wet" In a mass meeting held iii one of the churches on the 27th. Ms. Jesse Nicholson of Maryland, leader in the National Woman Committee for Law Enforcement, declared that women will never vote for wet" and will bolt Smith, A similar expression from Senator William J. Harris of Georgia was loudly cheered when he stated that Smith would lose Georgia by 5O,O00 votes, William Upshaw of Georgia also declared that the Tammany Tiger will never get into the White House.
 Franklin Roosevelt in the nomi- hating speech described Al Smith as ''the happy warrior whose habit is victory.
 Cordell Hull of Tennessee and Sen at0r Reed were placed in nomina- tion in opposition to Al Smith.

Twelve Innings
(By the Associated Press)

The American league was ready to
Join the National in a continuation
Of the in~tersectional warfare which
has been waged on the two pennant
fronts for n week. Rain and cold
yesterday prevented action in the
American league sector, where the
Yankees and the Indians are engaged
IN a hand-to-hand struggle for the
lead, but teams in the senior circuit
enlivened the west with their bat
ties.
The feature engagements of the
afternoon saw Virgil Barnes pitch
the Giants TO q 6 to 0 victory over
the Pirates in a game where the
9 of the league was at stake and
found Buzz McWeeney and Charlie
Root locked in n rare pitching duel
in Chicago. Brooklyn yielded to
the Cubs, 2 TO ], in the twelfth
After pitching good ball for eight
innings, McWeeney skated on thin
ice from the ninth to the twelfth.
A hit meant the ball game ut almost
any time and Petty finally yielded it
70 Gonzales. Webb opened the
twelfth with a double and advanced
on Hack wilson's sacrifice fly.
Robby then sailed for the old army
game and two men were passed TO
make a play possible at any base.
Gonzales spoiled this fine strategy
with a Texas league single to cen
ter.
Virgil Barnes ~giaddened the heart
of John McGraw by the craft Of his
curves against the Pirates. The
Giants, still shy two regulars
through influenza and injuries, pre-
scented a patched-up fighting front,
but Barnes did so we'll that almost
any sort Of backing could have won
for him.
The Braves lost their fifth straight
game when Eppa Rixey emerged on
top in a pitching battle against
Genewich. The score was 4 to /.
There was no news in st. Louis.
The Cardinals won as they pleased

Anderson has been working out

here Tuesday afternoon, which was
the last Of the season. They were
to be given a trial in order to pick
material for next years team.
And the coach stopped his trying

the box. He decided to wait until
Anderson was touched for a hit, and
came near waiting the entire game.
Then he decided to wait and see how
Anderson worked in a tight, and
waited the game without finding out.
He will find out next year., for

SLUCCED over
TEXAS FENCES
Cubs, Bears, Bluffs and
Sports Win Mostly
Because of Hearty
Work With Willow
(By The Associated Press)

Heavy hitting Of "a long distance
type is blooming again in the Texas
league. The following players hit
home runs yesterday: Kilduff Of
Shreveport, Wingfield Of Beaumont,
Walker, Powell and Snyder of Hous-
ton, Mason of San Antonio, Turgeon
Of Wichita Falls, and Shires and
Brown Of Waco.
Browns homer, coming with one
on in the tenth inning, helped Waco
defeat Wichita Falls, 8 TO 4, and was
the climax of an uphill battle that
enabled the Cubs to overcome q big
lead which the Spudders had rolled
up in early innings.
Shires, Waco's brilliant first base
man, was quite as instrumental in
helping the Cubs to victory as he hit
a double in a seventh-inning rally
that Melted two runs and in the
eighth when two were out delivered
a four-ply blow that tied the score.
Nason's home run in the fourth in
ming was the spark that set off the
San Antonio Bears fireworks in a
game with Fort Worth which the
Bears won. s to 2. While Nason's
run was the only one which the
Bears got in that inning. in the next
frame San Antonio collected three
and put the game on ice.
Kilduff was a big factor in Shreve-
ports 6 to 1 victory over Beaumont
by getting a double and a single in
addition to a home run in four trips
to the plate and scoring five Of the
sport runs.
The heavy hitting OF nearly all the
Bluffs enabled Houston to defeat Dali
