ANT|-SAL DON STAND
ATTACKED BY REED
Says League Seeks DestruC-

Party
BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY. August l8.-The
Anti-Saloon League was assailed today
in a statement by Senator Reed of Mis-
SQUIRT, who charged the league was try

while at the same time plotting its de-
StruCtion.
The statement was Senator Reeds
first since the recent Missouri primary
in which Charles NJ Hay. backed by the
Anti-Saloon League. defeated James A.
Coliet. who had the support of Senator
Reed for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator
Making a defense of the policies of
Gov. Smith. the Democratic presidential
nominee. Senator Reed said;
Even now the Auti-Saloon League
is covartly charging the election of Gov,
Smith means the return of the open
saloon and the flooding of the country
with unrestricted liquor They know
this charge to be untrue They know
no considerable body of men propose the
return of the saloon, and that Gov.
Smiths attitude is that better way
for the promotion o; true temperance
can be found than the plan Of the Vol
stead act.
The Anti-Saloon League managers
know that Gov Smiths attitude is that
bootlccging and the illicit traffic in
liquors must cease and that some kind
If governmental supervision and regula-
ton can be devised which will better
promote temperance than the present
system which has flooded the country
with poisonous liquors and produced an
organized bard of bootleggers and Grim
mails. which has to an appalling degree
dehauched the public service and low
ernd the standard Of public morals.
The Anti-Saloon League, said Sena-
tor Reed rs an organization which

A new wrinkle in presidential cam
paigns has developed In what might be
described AS a contest for the position
of First Lady of the Land Personality
pictures of Mrs. Hoover and Mrs Smith
have been given over the radio by their
respective champions, and so probably
have started something that the stats
ticians never will be able to put into a
column of figures-how many women'S
votes will be swung in and out Of line
by the resulting barrage Of chatter
across bridge tables and back fences.
Whether the women appropriate an
issue of their own or not. they and
their men folks have many others that
vie locally with those of recognized ma
tional importance. Voters in the lower
Mississippi Valley put food relief at
the top Of the list. and incidentally.
there are plans afoot to have Hoover
speak in Memphis. his headquarters
during the big food. The st. Lawrence
waterway Is of great interest in Mich
igan and Wisconsin as Boulder Dam

Hoover and Arizona have stood opposed
on that issue and the fact is being
used against him there.

The issue over Boulder Canyon has
been every whit as acute In this State
as il has been In California. and Hoover
was told that the success Of the Demo-

CARDINAL TEAM
SENSATION OF

BY FRANK GETTY
(Urited Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The rush
of the St. Louis Cardinals to the
top Of the national league where
today finds them enjoying a tidy
little three game lead, has been the
outstanding feature of the pennant
race so far this month.
Hustling, winning baseball got
The Cardinals out in front just wien
the fight for the flag was hottest.
Against strenuous opposition they
have rolled up a winning streak Of
eight consecutive games and they
have Jess Haincs and Flint Rhem
ready to fire at the hapless Cincin-
natl Reds, whom they supplanted as
league leaders last week.
Winning extra inning games and
others by one run margins, the st.
Louis club has had to battle hard
for its advantage every base of the
way to the top.
There are "A number of reasons for
the success of the Cardinals. One is
that Bill Mckcchnic, Cardinal man

CALIFORNIA OR

TO WIN RACE
by United Press Lensed Wire

NEW YORK. June lS.-Columbia
or California-which will lead the
flotilla of college crews across the
finish line on the Hudson river at
Poughkeepsie near sundown Tues
day?
Or will it be Pennsylvania, the
dangerous dark horse. or Navy, an
outsider, or Washington, not so
strong as in other years?
Again it may be Cornell or SYRIA
cuse as this year. s race between
seven stalwart crews is considered
an open affair with any one of
them likely to sweep to victory.
The Freshmen race will start at
8 p. M. eastern daylight saving
time, the junior varsity at s p. m.
and the varsity at 7 p. m.
All the talk coming from Pough-
kecpsic is whether Columbia can
beat California and vice versa, but
veteran racing followers point out
that there is a strong possibility Of
those two crews rowing themselves
out against each other and some
other crew coming on to win. Odd
ly enough, the draw has placed Cali
fornia and Columbia side by side
where they undoubtedly will gauge
their races upon what the other
does.
Columbia off by itself last year
rowcd on to victory while the Navy,
Washington and California wore
