WORKS LATE ON SPEECH.
Governor Refuses to Make Speeches to
Crowds Along Route.

ON BOARD SMITHS SPECIAL
TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO OKLAHOMA
CITY, September 20 tA).-Happy with
recollections of another hectic day of
meeting and greeting" campaigning,
carried well into the night through the
Kansas farm belt, Gov. Alfred E. Smith
was in the border" State of Oklahoma
today preparing for his second formal
bid for the presidency tonight at Okla
homa City.
The Democratic presidential nominee
had made up his mind on the line of
attack he will follow in his second
speech in the West having worked late
last night on an advance manuscript
between welcoming demonstrations at
more than half dozen Kansas cities,
including Topeka, home of Senator
Curtis. the Republican vice presidential
candidate.
Just what the nominee planned to
say at the auditorium arranged for his
meeting had not been announced. There
were indications, however, that he in
tended to make his stand there one of
the most important of his Western
tour, probably taking shot at party
boilers and countering against critics
OF his publ record.
May Speak on Religious Question.
The religious question, one which has
stirred Oklahoma politics in recent
years, also was on the lips of many as
possible theme.
After stops at Lincoln and Fairbury.
Nebr., yesterday, Gov. Smiths train
was halted again during the afternoon
for rear platform appearances at Belle
vile, Clay Center and Manhattan,
Kans.
Crowds gave the nominee a hand at
every station, but he stuck to his resolu-
ton to make no open-air speeches.
Hundreds climbed to the railing of the
observation car to grasp his hand, as
well as those of Mrs. Smith and their
daughter, Mrs. John A. Warner.
At nightfall Topeka was reached and
it was here that Gov. Smith witnessed
the greatest turnout of the Kansas
Journey His picture had been hung
above the tracks near platform. where
a Democratic political meeting had been
in progress. Several thousand persons
surrounded the Smith private car and
sent up wild shout as the train came
to a stop. Bands struck up the Side
walks Of New York" as had others
along the way, and demands were per-
Sistent for a speech.
Declines to Make Speech.
Again politely declining, the governor
confined his stay amidst the capital
throng to shaking hands. The crowd
became so dense at times that the
governor and his daughter Emily, fire.
quently went to the railing and waved
back those climbing aboard. Two
women were said to have tainted.
Leaving Topeka, the nominee was
greeted at Mcfarland, Alma, where
county fair was in progress, and Herring
ton, Kans., where torches aided the
crowds to get almost daylight glimpse
of him and Mrs. Smith, now burdened
with huge bouquets received along the
route.
The governor because of demands on
his time for preparation of his speech
last night, called off last minute re-
quested tarries including one at Marion
Kans., where telegram informed him.
"a group of Kansas Republicans who
are going to vote for you," said they
would be waiting"

MuIdoon Insists Law Calls

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, october Is. The
New York State Athletic Com
NJ mission will not join the pro-
4 posed new international boxing
association or any other nation
wide governing body, If William Null
doom has anything to say about 1t.
Working agreements with separate
States are all right, but definite al
lance with national body is out Of
the question, the veteran commissioner
thinks.
I'VE have no affiliation with any box
ing body of national scope, nor, so
long as I can prevent it, will we under
take such an alliance" Muldoon said.
"Our situation today is what 1t always
has been. We are ready to help other
boxing bodies throughout the country
when and If need arises, and we well
come reciprocal arrangement with our
commission.
"Our State law imposes on us the re-
sponsibility for administering the
statute under which boxing Is conducted
in this State. 1t does not give authority
to assume alliances with organizations
or institutions whose object is to control
or supervise boxing throughout the
country"
In addition to the legal bar to joining
a national organization and his belief
that voluntary aid to other States is
better than If membership in an organ
ization required it, Muldoon said that q
nationwide organization is too un-
wieldy to be effective and that one
trouble maker in such an organization
could upset the whole machine.

|R|NG CARDS FILLED
| BY SECOND-RATERS
Elimination Bouts Slated Not
to Aid in Solving Title
Problem.
BY TOMMY LoUGHRAN,


Light heavyweight Champion Of the World.
10 far the only heavyweight elinni-
nation bouts definitely settled on
by Tex Richard are between
~ Otto Won Porat and Pauline
Uzcudun on November 5, and
Billy Stribling and Jack Dorval on NO
vember %. They are rated as ,elimina-
lions, but neither match is likely to do
much toward solving the heavyweight
problem.
Won Porat is just fair man, who
has been doing pretty well in the Mid
die West. He Is good enough to beat
the second-stringerS, but doesn't figure
to give the topliners much of an argyll
ment. Pauline, who is one of the most
rugged and hard hitting of the con-
tenders, ought not to have much diff
Guilty with him. He showed that his
lay-off had not done him much harm
by the manner in which he handled
big Boy Peterson.
Threw Away Bout in Foul.
The Basque knocked Peterson out.
But by striking him when he was on
his knees Pauline lost the decision on
foul. 1t didn't hurt his status 81 q
contender; nor Is his status likely to
be affected by Otto Won Porat, either.
The Stribling- Dorval match is . Diff
ferent matter. For q time 1t looked
as though Billy was through a. a
major contender. After beat him, 9
year ago last Summer, he stuck to
| fighting in the small towns. Then he
was brought back to meet Johnny
| Squires, one OF the poorest heavy
weights Australia ever sent to this
country. Strib stopped Squires in a
couple Of rounds, thereby creating q
| ballyhoo for himself. 1t wasn't . VIC
| tory to be taken too seriously. Stribling
probably will have more trouble With
| Dorval.
Napoleon Jack is a big fellow who
has excellent form. He has been fol-
lowed by bad luck in the shape Of
injuries and other things. Still, he
shows flashes of form, and may give
| Billy more trouble than he figures to
at the moment. Stribling ought to win,
but he will not find Squires In there
against him.
Hard to Discourage. .
Apparently no one ever gets dis.
Outraged by being eliminated. Here's
Jim Maloney cropping up again with
threatening gestures. Jim was knocked
out by Sharkey, Godfrey and Heeney.
but he didn't quit. In recent fights he
has beaten several fair men, including
Jack Renault, and Is hopeful that he'll
be able to climb to the top again. You
can't hate a fellow for trying.
Within couple of months there will
be lot of bouts that should help de-
eide the issue. Those big fellows who
aren't so anxious to take chances with
rough opponents will have to 60 in
with the leaders If they are to be recog-
rized. 1t will be merry how-do-''
you-do.

~ ANNOCKBURN is rapidly near
- ing the end of its hill climbing
days. Plans made late in the
IL Summer by DR.. Thomas J. w
Brown, chairman of the greens
committee, for construction of new
second green, which will eliminate the
tiresome climb up to the top of one
of the highest hills on the course, are
bearing fruit, for bevy of tractors are
working and digging preparatory to
building a new green on the hillside
below the present one to overcome the
big climb.
The view from the old second green
Is one of the prettiest around Wash
ington. But that. is the opinion of
many golfers of the club, is about all
that the location could be recon-
mended for. The climb itself was
hardly recompensed by the splendor of
the view of the upper Potomac gorge.
So DR.. Brown, in constructing the
new second green, has followed the
natural contours of the hill Instead
of stiff, straight climb the route to
the green follows the natural slope so
that by the time the player reaches
the third tee he is not tired out. A
path to a new third tee will be cut
through the woods along an abandoned
road, rising on gentle slant from the
green to the tee.
But that isn't all that is being accom-
plished at Bannockburn. The place
sounds like day on the Western front.
For DR.. Brown has expended many
pounds of dynamite in removing the
stumps which festooned the east side of
the twelfth fairway, and is moving
rapidly to transform this fairway from
one of the narrowest on the course to
one of the widest. He already has
turned irrigation engineer by changing
the course of the ditch which parallels
the fairway on the right over toward
the fourteenth fairway, giving the
twelfth fairway about 20 yards more
width.
And now he Is busy blasting out the
stumpS which covered the hillside on
the left of the fairway When his little
group of tractors complete their job on
the new second green, they will be
shifted over to that other big climb at
Bannockburn-the one up to the tenth
green There they will go through much
the same process, for DR.. Brown will
shorten the tenth hole by about IS
yards, transform the hole into par 4,
and at the same time cut the climb
down to an easy pull.
