FOES
To AVOID
FEAST
BY George R. Holmes

.
The harmony which t h e
Democrats have been. talking
about-and some of tn EN-
praying for--since the great
November split is proving a
very elusive bird.
Not only has Bishop James Can
non, ir., gone on the warpath In
Virginia again, with a plea to the
snti-smith boilers to stand firm
and name their own candidate for
governor. but the widely advertised
"harmony dinner" to be given here
next Monday night in honor Of
Jouett Shouse. OF Kansas. is being
quietly--and in some cases noisely
cut by the anti Smith southerpers
in Congress.
Theory OF the Plan
Shouse recently was selected to
organize and preside over perma.
nent Democratic headquarters in
Washington, the theory being that
a militant, aggressive national or
ganization, functioning under a
Democrat of Shouse's background,
would heal some of the wounds suf-
fered last fall. Shouse is a South
erner by birth, a former McAdoo
lie NJ oonoF9lIV nnrIlI2r
with all factions. .
John J. Raskob. the national
chairman. and the target. even
more than Governor Smith. of
Southern opposition, was to remain
out of the Washington limelight.
That was the theory of the thing.
Local friends of Shouse arranged
Monday nights dinner. in the fur
therance of the harmony theory.
Naturally, Raskob was invited as
chairman of the national commit
tee and put down for a speech.
Heflin ct AL
But the local thermometers reck-
oned without such figures as SEN
ator Furnifold Simmons of North
Carolina. Senator Cole Blease OF
South Carolina, Senator Tom Hef
lin of Alabama. and other well
known Southerners to whom the
very name of Raskob is anathema
The mere fact that Raskob is to
be at the board and to make
speech was sufficient to move many
of them to find previous engage
ments for next Monday night;
others to decline for various rea.
sons, and a few to come out openly
and criticize the effort to reach any
harmony.
Harmony" said Senator Sim
mons, who led the revolt against
Smith last fall. demands the un.
horsing of Raskob."
II don't care about any reorgani-
cation that is to be in the hands of
the Smith crowd" said Senator
Blease.
Other Engagements
Others were not so open in their
comment, but inquiry has disclosed
that comparatively few Southern
Senators will be present. Senators
Glass and Swanson OF Virginia,
have "other engagements" the
Georgia Senators. Harris and George.
have not accepted; the four Senators
from the two Carolinas are out;
the Alabamans will not attend;
Senator Sheppard OF Texas. author
of the Eighteenth Amendment, will
be missing, and there have been
numerous destinations from Southern
members of the House.
A good many of the Southern
Senators come up for reelection in
1880. and are primarily interested
right now in bringing back into
the fold those "Hoovercrats" who
rolled up the enormous anti-Smith
vote in their States last November.
They prefer time and quiet as
poultice at this time rather than
speeches and dinners.

Windy City Rapidly Works
Self Into Frenzy for
Big Series.
PARK WON'T HOLD EN-
Fans CheerfuIIy Pay Any
Sum for Tickets.
BY FRANK GETTY,
United Press Sports Editor

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The inevi-
table harbinger of an approaching
world series is photograph Of the
local pennant winning ball club in
a shop window. Chicago's streets
are lined with them.
A city which has played host in
/ successive years to an Army-Navy
football game, fight for the worlds
heavyweight championship, and a
playof for the national open golf
title might be estimated as suf1-
GENTLY sports conscious to take q
world series in it's stride. But not
Chicago.
Fashioned Interest
The city is rapidly whipping itself
with small town fervor, into a frenzy
over the approaching series between
the Cubs and the Athletics. 1t is
a gratifying sign to those who sup
port, or are supported by, the ma
tional paStime. Baseball is a long
way from being on the decline.
Of course, the fact that a Chica-
go team is to be one of the contend
ers in the forthcoming series is what
Is responsible for the excitement.
This is no academic interest which a
city Of several million is displaying
towards the game.
The series which opens here on
Tuesday will be no hippodrome with
a Babe Ruth as its prodigious CEN
trail figure. 1t is to be battle be-
tween cities-Chicago against Phila-
delphia, just as world series used to
be in the good old days when the
Babe was a rookie southpaw pitcher.
They'll Be Packed In
There will be more than $4,000
fans, packed layer on layer as tightly
as chewing gum, within the limits of
Wrigley field when Charlie Root or
some other Cub pitcher sends the
first ball whistling down the groove
next Tuesday afternoon. But they
will be just the lucky ones.
If baseball parks possessed the
elasticity of fight arenas or foot
ball stadii. there would be closer to
10000 spectators. With genuine
tears in their eyes, officials of the
Chicago National League club are
mailing back money representing
100000 untitled orders.
There will be no ticket scandal.
however. So intense is the demand
for tickets that spectators are
blessed, not cursed. A seat in the
Cubs ball park next Tuesday. in
the opirion of Chicagoan, is worth
whatever was paid for it.
