Oklahoma, Big Six
Champs, Put Three
Cagers On All-Loop

KANSAS CITY, March 7.-tR-
Oklahoma, Big Six basketball
champions, placed three men on
the honorary first team selected by
the Associated Press. Bruce Drake,
captain and guard; Tom Churchill,
forward, and Clifton Shearer, CEN
ter, were the selections.

one Of the trio was placed on the
second team. Harry Welsh, for
ward and Wendell Baker, guard,
were the first team choices.
Churchill, leading conference
scorer, who Gems able to do any
thing athletic in an outstanding
way, was the only unanimous
choice of the dozen coaches, writ
ers and officials who assisted the
Associated Press in the selection.
Even Sooner Captain Drake fall
ed to make all the first team Sc
lecticns. He formerly was a for
wcTd but lack of veteran guards
forced a shift this season and Ly
mid-season Drake was hitting the
basket as in the old days. He
scored enough points to rank among
the ten leading scorers.
These two men generally were
conceded to be the outstanding
cagers Of the season, the only ones
who were considerably good from
January to March.
Shearer gained nearly all the
votes for center but won his honors
largely because he played with the
champions and good pivot men
were at a premium.
Baker and Welsh gain the other
two places al guard and forward.
Baker played center part Of the
time and received first team
vote for that position. WEIGH
started the season flashily. slump
ed, and later partly gained his
form but was not in a class with
Churchill although good enough to
gain the approved eve of most team
solicitors. Welsh was one Of the
Leading scorers.

REPUBLICANS WIN
IN JERSEY VOTING
First Counties to Report Give Them
a Clean Sweep in Legislative
Contests.

A Republican victory in the New
Jersey legislative contests was indi-
Gated on early returns last night.
In the two counties, where complete
returns were available, the Repub-
hcans made a clean sweep. In
Camden County, R. r. Steward, Re-
publican nominee for the Senate,
won easily over r. S. Ayres, his
Democratic opponent, and in the
Assembly contests, w. b. Knight,
W. T. Gross and F. S. Bleakly all
ran to safe victory over the three
Democratic nominees. In Atlantic
County, Joseph Altman and A. j.
Stracusa, Republican incumbents,
both were returned to the Assembly.
While the Republican victory took
in most of the State, Hudson County
apparently will return it's full Demo
cratic slate to the Assembly. The
eleven Democratic nominees were
far in the lead of their Republican
opponents in the early returns.
Only light vote turned out in
New Jersey to elect the nine Sena-
tors, sixty Assemblymen and the host
of local officials in the counties and
municipalities.
Richmond planet., 1929-11-09

Mayor James j. Walker was re-
elected last Tuesday by plurality
of approximately 497,000 over
Representative Fiorello H. La
Guardia, Republican-fusion can
didate for Mayor.
It was a tremendous victory for
Tammany. With Mayor Walker were
reelected Controller Charles W.
Berry and Aldermanic President
Joseph v. Mckee, by similar large
pluralities, and the four Democratic
Borough Presidents, julius Miller of
Manhattan, Henry Bruckner of the
Bronx, James j. Byrne of Brooklyn
and John A. Lynch of Richmond.
The Democratic sweep was so COM
plete that, with one major exception
and a few minor exceptions, no Re-
publican candidate survived and all
judicial, all Democratic county cam
didates and all but few Demo-
cratic candidates for Assembly and
the Board of Aldermen were VIC
torious.
The one Republican candidate for
an important office to win despite
the Democratic landslide was Bor-
ough President George U. Harvey, of
Queens. Without the support of a
party organization, Mr.. Harvey de-
feated County Clerk Edward w.
Cox, the Democratic nominee, by an
indicated plurality of more than
$4,000.
With only 121 out of the 3,411
election districts in the city miss
ing the vote was:
Walker, Democrat ......833, ,636
La Guardia, Republican 1858, ,773
Thomas, Socialist .................166, 564
Enright, Square Deal party. 5,779
This was an actual plurality Of
4SO,072 for Walker, and an indi-
Gated plurality for him Of 100000.

islature made good early showing
on incomplete returns from the city
of Lexington, and from the district
composed of Fayette County outside
the city.
Twenty-eight out of ffty-fve pre-
cincts in the city district gave the
Republican candidate a lead of $50.
The city district has elected Re
publican three times out of the last
five.
Fourteen out of forty-four pre-
cincts in the county district gave
the Republican candidate a lead of
80. The county district has sent a
Democrat to the last five sessions of
the Assembly.
In Floyd County, however, with
one-third of the precincts reported,
the Democratic candidate took lead
of $50. This district sent Repub-
lican to the 1928 session.

Richmond citizens last Tuesday re-
pulsed the coalition bio for victory
as they gave Dr.. John Garland Pol
lard a smashing victory. The total

William Moseley Brown, 5,972, a ma
jority of 6,593 for the Democratic
nominee for Governor.
Not only did DR.. Pollard carry
Richmond, but the entire Democratic
ticket was swept into office, six can
didates for the House of Delegates
and one for the State Senate riding
to victory on the Pollard landslide.
Brown carried only seven Of the
81 precincts. These were First, Sec
ond, Fifth and Seventh in Madison
Ward; Second and Sixth in Lee
Ward, and Ninth precinct in Jeffer-
son Ward. There was tie vote
between Pollard and Brown in the
Fourth precinct of jefferson Ward,
each getting 82 votes. Of the seven
precincts carried by Brown, one was
achieved by a margin of five votes,
and other by eight votes.
