IN Times, Lowden will not bolt
the Republican ticket and come out
for Smith, which, if true, spoils
another tinted dream.
Farm relief has not become the
soul swaying issue that Democratic
leaders hoped it would. The reason
is plain. Democratic leaders hoped
too much and did too little. They
gassed a lot at Houston, but when
they got through, they had not
made themselves particularly clear.
Lowden can be disguised thor
oughly with the Republican plat
form and still fail to be impressed
with the Democratic platform. So
can a lot of other farmers.

No Issues

Prohibition is failing to break the
solid South for exactly the same
reason that farm relief is failing to
split the midwest. There has been
too much of stall on both issues
for people to get excited You sim
ply cannot straddle and have issues.
Lacking issues, the campaign
shapes itself around personalities.
A good many Of his supporters are
comforting themselves with the no
ton that that is where Governor
Smith gets the real advantage. I
am not so sure. If Governor Smith
is a good talker, Hoover is a good
organizer. Which counts more in
politics?

MYTH the coming Of hot
w weather, because Of the wider
opportunities of dogs to run about
freely, there are likely to appear
more and more cases Of hydropho-
bia or rabies due to mad dog bites.
This is a condition which is at
tracing increased attention all over
the United States. The Institute
of Medicine Of Chicago, for instance,
has just issued a special report in
the form of a public warning.
From January to May, 1926, the
heads of sixty dogs were examined
by the health department. In five
of these the brains indicated the
presence of special conditions that
are associated with rabies.
In the same period in 1927, fifty
six heads were examined, of which
eleven indicated the changes. In
1923, 704 heads were examined and
SCI of these gave evidence of rabic
infection.
This condition is unprecedented
in the history of Chicago and
probably of that of any other large
American city.
From August, 1919, to August,
1927, there was not one death from
mad dog bite in Chicago, whereas
in the ten months preceding July,
1928, there were nineteen deaths in
Chicago as contrasted with fifty
nine human deaths in the whole
United States in 1927,
In the analysis of the condition,
the Institute of Medicine recon-
mended strict enforcement of the
city ordinance for at least ninety
days.
Rabies can be eradicated by the

where it may be examined for the
presence of the peculiar bodies that
indicate hydrophobia.
The wound is to be treated at

fective in preventing the disease if
given early and efficiently.
Few people today can realize the
seriousness of the condition before
Pasteur made his notable discovery.

D. G. Stephenson's legal maneu-
vers to get himself out of prison
thus far have strengthened his
prospect of staying where he is.
One by one his court actions have
met with failure, until now but
one legal avenue remains to be
tested-the legality Of procedure
in the trial in which he was con-
victed of murder-and this doesn't
seem to offer much hope.
Stephenson has injured rather
than benefited his case by the
multiplicity of court actions
brought in his behalf by lawyers,
some of whom would seem to
have been more interested in
notoriety for themselves than
benefit to their client.
Their maneuvers thus far have
resulted only in fastening him
more securely in the clutches of
the law and that isn't what law
yers are hired to do.

The exploit of Lady Heath, British airwonan, who

There is no reason why women should not be as

SCHALK HAVING RESIGNED

BY the Associated Press.
@H1CAGo. July 5.--As the Chi
cago White Sox sped east
ward today, Russell Lena"
~ Blackburne, Sox coach since
1926, stepped into his new
post as manager of the club, succeeding
the veteran Raymond II. Cracker"
Schalk, whose resignation was the sur
prise of the 4th of July holiday at
Comiskey Park.
Schalk's resignation was effective i'm
mediately after the holiday double
header. He remained at home today
as his teammates for the last Is years
headed into their second Eastern trip.
Immediately after receiving Schalk's
letter of resignation. President Charles
A. Comiskey announced the appoint
ment of Blackburne as, the Crackers
successor.
Schalk, recognized as one of the
greatest ball players who ever wore the
mask, said In his letter of resignation
that he was stepping out as manager
in the hopes it WIN be helpful to the
club"
THE team has been going bad. the
results have not been satisfactory; SO
step out" was the way he put it.
Cracker came to the White Sox at
the age of 10, in 1912 when he was pur-
chased from Milwaukee for cash and
four players amounting to $4,000. From
the start he made a name for himself
and 1t wasn't long until he became the
sensation of the league as the Sox
catcher. From 1918 to 1923 he played
in more than 100 games each season,
record that is likely to stand for sew
eral years.
When Eddie Collins was removed as
Sox manager in 1926. Comiskey gave
the Job to Schalk. Ray never relished
the post and on the face of it was not
tempermentally fitted Some said he
was too lenient with the players, and
conditions on the club went from bad
to worse. apparently leading to Rays
decision that change in management

Hack Wilson couldn't find the range
until he changed from a Giant to

league in honers in 1925 and hit So
doubles to finish third in that divi-
sion. He came right back last year
to tie Cy Williams for the home

doubles.
It's just the same old story with

When Jim hit st. Louis in 1928
he found Hornsby in the midst of

YANKEES VS.. CARDS
IF DOPE HOLDS UP
Giants in Position to Dispute
National League End of
Old Belief.

BY the Associated Press.
A theory exists that the teams in
the lead on the Fourth of July also
will be on top in late September or
early October. at the close of the major
league pennant campaigns. If this were
100 per cent true the Yankees and the
Cardinals could save much trouble for
all concerned by starting the world
series Immediately, but the theory
arouses skepticism in some quarters
chiefly in the National League.
John j. McGraw, for one, recalls that
the Giants were running away with
fourth straight pennant on July 4, 1914,
with the humble Braves in the cellar.
as usual 1t so happened that the
young men of the Clan McGraw en-
joyed the ensuing world series from
ringside seats as the Braves sailed into
the mighty Athletics for four straight
victories.
How Jawn Looks at 1t.
Now McGraw is in accord with any
move designed to limit the Cardinals to
a purely literary interest in the next
world series, as he himself was limited
IA Autumns ago.
Although the Giants now have lost
one game fewer than the Cardinals, the
fact remains that, playing Eastern
trailers. the New York team has been
unable to overhaul its Western rival,
which met admittedly tougher foes IN
the sunset section.
The Giants closed out their intra-
sectional campaign at the Polo Grounds
yesterday by dividing q double header
with Brooklyn. DazZy Vance snapped
a Giant streak at eight straight by
rolling the home entry, to 3, in the
opener, but Larry Benton came back In
the second clash to hang up his four
tenth victory and his seventeenth COM
plete game in II starts. The score was
to 2.
The even break cost the Giants no
ground as the Cardinals and the Cubs
divided two wild games which developed
merely into background for the home
run struggle between Hack Wilson and
Sunny Jim Bottomley. Each slugger
gathered two, leaving Wilson in the
lead of the league, 10 to II. The Cards
won by IL to 6, and the Cubs by Is to 9.
Hopes of Reds Revived.
Hope famed anew in Cincinnati as
the Reds plunged the Pirates further
into the depths by taking morning and
afternoon decisions at Forbes Field, s
to o and IL to 8. The Braves dropped
another to the Phurious Phils. 10 to 6,
but rain prevented further carnage.
The Athletics turned back the Red
Sox, S to 4, and IL to 8. The Mack
men so shaved full game from the
lead Of the champions.
Detroit and Cleveland divided their
holiday bill, as did the Browns and the
White Sox The Chicago celebration
was notable chiefly for the debut of Ed
walsh. jr., late of Notre Dame. Young
Eds first stride in the shoes Of his
famous father was an unsuccessful one,
but he showed he has the pitching
goods. The Browns punched hits on
him for five runs in the fourth. and ne
was retired to await better day.
RAY Schalk celebrated young Walsh's
debut by catching him m person.
Schalk just previously had handed in
his resignation as manager, and Russell
Blackburne had been named manger

him the league leadership in 1926,
and his 10 homers placed him sec
ond In homers in a season climaxed
by the Cardinals victory in the
pennant race and the world series.
Last year Bottomley drove out 10
home runs and Is triples. finishing
fifth and second, respectively.
AS for Hornsby. his record COM
prises just about one batting cham
pionship after another And this
year may be one of his best. He is
well on his way to his fourth 400
year. He led the league with AZ
homers In 1922 and also was first
in doubles with 46. In homers and
doubles he has been first twice and
four times, respectively; he finished
second in homers three times.
Hornsby'S drive for additional
batting and distance hitting honors
may be hampered this year by his
new managerial duties, If precedent
prevails. When he piloted the Car
dinals to the world championship
in 1925 his batting fell off to .3l6
for the season, his lowest percentage
in nine years.
