FARM DEBATE
TO END TODAY
House Monday Will Begin
Consideration Of
Amendments

WASHINGTON, April 20.-(Pl-
The house side Of the capitol had
a monopoly today on formal activi-
ties of congress. The senate was
in adjournment.
Leaders in the house planned to
wind up the general debate on the
new farm relief bill before adj
journment tonight and open the
way for consideration of amend
ments Monday, at which time the
senate expects to receive a report
on it's measure from the agricul-
tural committee.
With farm relief likely to re-
main the business before the house
for the first half Of next week, the
house ways and means committee
is taking more time than it orig
inally allotted itself to complete
the draft Of its tariff revision bill.
Republican members of the COM
mittee have been meeting daily in
executive session whipping the
measure into shape and are expect
ed to have it ready for considera-
ton as soon as the farm relief bill
is out Of the way.

that George Duncan's choice as
captain is ideal. The veteran Scot
is a happy warrior of the links if
there yer was one, and when he
is putting well and on his game
generally is unbeatable. This was
indicated when he trimmed Wal
ter Hagen six and five i'll the inter-
national matches at Wentworth in
1926 and beat Joe Turnesa at Wor-
cester, Mass, in 1927 to win one OF
Britain's two lone points of that
year.
In personnel the 1929 British
team differs materially from the
lineup crushed nine and a half
matches to two and a half at Wor-
cester two years ago. The new
corners are Mitchell, who was pre-
vented by severe illness from max
ing the American trip; Percy AL
liss, Stewart Burns, Henry Cotton
and Ernest Whitcombe.
1t is a great team, with not a
poor putter in the lot. That Is
something, in fact it is considera-
BILE, and British critics only hope as
much can be said after the battle
of the Leeds links is over.

Poneis Vow to Win
Half Of Their Games
And Finish AT 500
Especial to The Herald)

DALLAS, Tex, April 20.-After
dropping two straight games to the
Rice Institute Owls, the Southern
Methodist University Mustang nine
began preparations to win two
thirds Of their remaining confer
ence game to chalk up a 500 per
cent for the season.
Coach Jerry Mann has received
more than his share of hard luck
all season with his crew of rockies.
The Pony mentor shifted his men
about continually during the Owl
series in an effort to find a VIM
ming combination. Fifteen errors
were chalked up on the Pony in
field, during the two games. Mann's
charges have little trouble hitting
the ball as they pounded the two
Rice aces at will and proved th$
they could hit in a pinch.
With two conference tits coming
up next week, Coach Mann be-
gan to drive his proteges to per-
feet a defense against the power
full Bear and Aggie teams. The
Mustangs meet the Baylor Bruins
on Monday and Tuesday on Arm
strong field. Friday and Saturday
the Aggies will furnish competition
on the same diamond. Before the
Ponies go on the road again they
will meet Uncle Billy Disch's
champion Longhorn nine on May
s and z.

HEAR
HOOVER APPEAL
President Urges Factions To
Make Up Differences
For Sake Of Bill
BY JAMES l.. WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 20.-(P1-
Administration officials had their
ears attuned today for a reaction to
the appeal Of President Hoover to
the farm organizations to compose
their differences over farm relief.
They were hopeful that results
would flow from the warning OF
the chief executive that divisions in
the ranks of the farmers themselves
encouraged those opposed to all
farm relief and at best could bring
only delays and danger of failure.
Since the debenture plan of the
national grange now is the chief
point at issue between the agricul-
tural organizations there was a gen.
eral opinion here that MI. Hoover
had the differences over that queS-
ton in mind, although he did not
mention it.
There appears to be a feeling
among administration leaders on
Capitol Hill that the president does
not look with favor on the deben-
ture plan, but he has made no pub
lie statement on the subject.
In his appeal to the farm organ
izations the president emphasized
his previous declarations q definite
plan of principles was adopted by
the Kansas City convention and it
was the plan of the party and not of
one individual or group.
CHICAGO, April 20.-(P-A
statement declaring leaders Of out
standing farm organizations had
discussed farm relief tremendously
and agreed on several essentials to
any farm relief program was made
here today by Sam H. Thompson,
president of the American Farm
bureau federation, after he had
read dispatches quoting President
Hoover's implication that there ap-
peared to be lack of unanimity in
ranks of farm organizations.

the first game or the series.
The veteran Of t~wenty-six cam
paigns had a lead of ! to 0 in the
seventh when fate turned against
him. In that round, the sun SO
burned the eyes of Mule Haas that
he permitted Lou Gehrig's hoist to
fall at his feet for a double, and
Gehrig skipped home on Meusels
two-bagger. With two gone in the
eighth, earl Combs got another sun
double" to Haas sector, and scored
on Koenig'S drive, which Miller
might have caught but for the glare.
The Senators broke into the win
ming column when Marberry turned
back the Red SoX at Washington by
3 to 1, and Cleveland made it three
out Of four from Detroit with q z
to 4 victory. Home runs by Grouse
and Metzler deprived the Browns of
a chance to sweep their four games
against the White Sox, who rallied
late to win by 5 to 4.
The Giants occupied the National
league spotlight today as they
moved to Boston to exact their
spring toll from the Braves. In de-
feating the Phillies by IA to 5 to
clean up the series in two straight
games, the Giants punched Shot
tons young boXmen for twenty hits
and twenty-six bases, but the sig
nificant item in their victory was
the pitching of Carl Mays.
The Giants had the National
league almost to themselves as rain
permitted the Pirates to elude the
eager Cubs. Jesse Haines out
pitchd three Red rivals in Cincin-
natl, enabling the champion Card
inals to win by 9 to 4 their third vic
tory in the opening series Of four
games. Chick Hafey backed Haines
with two home runs.
The Braves nosed out the Robins
by 6 to 5 in the morning half of
a double bill at Boston, and then
won in the afternoon by 5 to 1. The
mound was occupied in the second
game by Dazzy Vance, Uncle Rob
bie's sole hope for avoiding the
cellar, but the Braves overlook him
with a three-run rally in the sixth.

GEoRGE DUNCAN
BY FRANK HI KING
Associated Press Staff Writer

LONDON, April 19.-P-Highly
pleased with the 10 men named for
the British Ryder cup golf team, all
the British golfing public asks for
victory over Walter Hagen's men
at Leeds April 1921 is bad weather,
some of the breaks of luck and
hot" rounds from able but unver-
tain players like George Duncan
and Abe Mitchell.
1t is still somewhat difficult to
convince the Briton that American
homebredS can weather the cold,
wind and rain Of an English
spring, although the records of re-
cent years might indicate other
wise.
1t is true, however, that Ameri-
cans have had good weather on
most of their golfing raids on this
island.
But whatever happens at Leeds,
there is little doubt that the 10 men
chosen by the British selectors are
the strongest squad of professional
club swingers this old golfing land
can muster for the fairways.
There is unanimous agreement

o. HE'S
BETTER THAN O'KELLEY

NEW YORK, April 20.-(P-
There really should be no doubt
now that Jimmy Maloney of Bos-
ton is a better man in the ring than
Con O'Kelly, late of County Cork.
Maloney, riding high on the crest
of a comeback campaign he hopes
will place him back in the running
for the heavyweight title, stopped
OKelly in the third round of their
10-round match here last night. Tt
was their third meeting. O'Kelly
held Maloney TO a draw in their
first clash at Madison Square Gar
den; dropped a decision to the Bos-
tonian at Boston, and now suffers
the ignominy Of a technical knock
out.

Continues to
xSay Tim Words
Cubs Hit Timely

HThe Associated Press


A relnt statement by Manager
Pratt of Waco that he would make
the sports writer's who picked his
club to finish in the second division
"eat them words" appears to have
been fraught with erudition.
As the result of timely hitting in
their first two games and some
phenomenal hurting yesterday by
Dumovitch, the Cubs, along with
the Houston Bluffs, today stand
high and dry above the. field on the
Texas league ladder.
Dumovitch, who came to the
Waco club from Evansville in the
Three-Eye, celebrated lis Texas
league debut by letting San Anto-
MO down with long bingle, a
punched their hits off Shea to
score four in the third and take
their third straight from the tribe.
Another remarkable pitching per-
Torrance was at Houston, where
the champion Bisons boWled over
Beaumont for the third time. Jim
Lindsey, who won 25 games for the
0G1Ao AdoO ySdLB Ills
1929 campaign by holding the Ship
pers to two hits and blanking them,
2 to 0. He allowed a single in the
first and another in the ninth and
not a man reached second.
Shreveport went on a clubbing
rampage in the late innings to
come from behind and lick Wichita
Falls, 10 to 9, in the rubber game
of their series. Seven runs in the
sixth and three more in the ninth
did the trick. The Sports. as a re-
suit, took possession of second place
in the league standing.
Low-hanging black clouds that
d-c-ched the field in Gloom caused
the Dallas-Fort Worth rumpus in
the latter city to be called off after
two innings. The batters couldn't
connect and neither team was do
Ing any good. Also, customers were
scarce. The draw verdict left the
inter-city series between the Steers
and Cats in a deadlock, each with
one win.
Shreveport invades Dallas today
for a two-day stand, while Wichita
Falls engages the Painters at Fort
Worth. Beaumont stays on at
Houston to try to break the Bluffs
streak. and San Antonio does like
wise at Waco.
