tion was devoted to oratory. Paul Nc

tackled recent Republican national ad
ministrationS. declaring that the rev.
elry and evil of the Harding regime,
she inaction of the Coolidge administra-
ton and the ineffectiveness of the Hoo
yer experiment have brought this coun-
try into leaderleSS uncertainty, If not
economic chaos" He also denounced
the republican administration of State
affairs and predicted that tax relief
would be the dominant issue of the
State campaign.
A platform prepared by the reSolu-
tions committee pledged enactment Of
q State income tax, condemned the
pending tariff and urged appointment

sion who are in sympathy with the law

CLEVELAND, August 25.-Six shape
less humps of silk, which on Labor DAY
Will become racing balloons, setting
forth on the annual chase for the
international prize, the Gordon Bennett
Cup, are being assembled at Cleveland
Airport for the eighteenth renewal of
the blue ribbon event for lighter-than-
cir craft
Late on the afternoon Of September
! the sextet of gas bags, three repre-
senting the United States and one each
from Germany, France and Belgium,
VIII ascend and submit themselves to
the vagarieS of wind and weather in
the hope of giving one of the countries
a claim on the third Gordon Bennett
Cup.
Champion to Fly.
Ward T. Van Orman of Akron, Ohio,
champion gas Dagger" of the world in
1929 by virtue of his victory over rep
reSentatives OF seven nations and one
of the two repeaters in this years race,
viii be one of three pilots seeking to
give the United States second claim
to the latest cup. Three victories give
possession to a nation.
The United States won the second
cup and Belgium captured the first.
Greater distance than that of last
years contest is looked for. Never be-
fore had the race been won in so short
a distance as the 341-mile fight of
Van Orman from st. Louis to near
Troy, Ohio. The distance record for
the event is 1920 miles farther, M
Bienaime of France having flown 1861
miles from Stuttgart TO Moscow in WIN
ming the 1912 event.

Belgian Winner Is Threat.
Lieut.. Ernest de Muster, who won
the first cup for Belgium by successive
victories in 1922, 1923 and 1924, but
has not won since, is considered the
leading foreign threat, although the
Barmen, from Germany, has a good
record behind it.
Wind direction at this time of the
year is generally northwesterly, leading
to expectation that the bags will carry
their crews across the lake into Canada.

GOLFERS
CONTENT To
QUALIFY
Nv HORTON SMITH

You hear much among golf
PLAYERS about the hard luck that
follows a man after he wins the
medal of a tournament or a big
championship. 1t is tradition
that after even star wins a
medal, most of his friends, who
had been willing to bet even
money at the start Of a tourna-
ment that said star would win,
adapt long faces after the quail
flying round, and are ready to
bet against him becarSe they
think it impossible to get by the
time honored jinX.
This means of course that, ac-
cording to links superstition, none
who takes the medal has a
Chinaman's chance to win the
tournament. However. I have
never let such things as bad
omens influence my game in the
least and neither do I pay any
attention to good augeries.
I cannot fancy that a golfers
winning the qualifying round has
anything to do with ultimate
failure or success. 1t does prove.
however. that the one who can
lead a field of golfers in a quail
flying round is on his game, and
this counts for something.
The law of averages re-
duceS the chance of the medal
winner going on to win
championship. Yet i cannot
find anything that might at
tach a jinx to the perform
ance.
Quite often it is not the best
golfer in the field that runs
away with the medal prize.
This is because the great major,
ity of players do not go into a
championship with the qualifying
medal on their mind. Most of
the boys are we'll satisfied to
qualify and let it go at that.

CHAMPIONS
WANT SOFT
. F.. BOUTS
BY JACK DEMPSEY.

Day by day a matchmaker's
life gets tougher and tougher,
and, at the same time, fandom' S
interest in what The battlers are
doing grows less and less.
The chief reason is that
champions balk at defending
titles unless guaranteed money
wholly out of proportion with
their box office value, while the
outstanding contenders duck each
other for fear cf being whipped
and thus deprived of possible
shot at the title.
The promoter, therefore, either
must use second raterS, or color
less fighters Of the first grade,
as his headliner5 or he must
shoot champion against a
sucker" in a ,non-title bout IN
which the public is not partiCu-
larly interested.
Folks will pack an arena
when they know that a
championship is at stake but
are not greatly interested
when it is one of those cover
weight" affairs where the
champion cannot lose his
crown even if knocked stiff.
The fighters are gradually kill
ing the goose that has been lay
ing the golden eggs for them
through many years.
This idea the champions have
that crowds will rush to see them
in action, no matter who is the
opponent or what are the condi-
tions of the contest, already has
been knocked dizzy. Promoters
have been forced to reduce prices
and, even with the rates far below
those of other years, very few
fights are sellouts.
The present day trick of duck
ing anybody who looks tough may
perpetIlate champions existence,
or keep a topnotcher in the lime
light, but lessons the interest of
the fans in the sport.
With receipts falling off,
the boys must suffer in the
bankrOll department.
Right now champions who
might be picking up $4,000 to
100000 per year are not hauling
in half that much and. if they do
not soon agree to fight tough op-
ponents, they won't get enough
out of a 3712 percentage of a house
to buy themselves a new set of
hair brushes.
The only way out is for the
fighters to agree to fight someone
who can make a fight of it.
