NO.2POS|T|ON
WILL 60 TO
HOPPING
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Having
tried everything else, apparently
on the theory that It Is better
first to prove what you don't
want, the polo autocracy will
abandon the low comedy at Sands
Point tomorrow and begin level
ing with the team itshas had in
mind from the first moment the
international matches With Eng.
land were definitely scheduled
for early September. The team
in question is Eric Pedley, No. 1;
Earl Hopping, jr., No. 2; Tommy
Hitchcock, No. 8, and Winston
Guest, back. Barring the unfore-
seen, 1t is the line up that will
ride out to meet the British In
the first match on September 8.
not necessarily because it is the
best team the polo association
has, but because 1t Is the best the
polo association thinks it has.
which to all practical purposes Is
the same thing.
The affair at Sands Point to-
morrow has been scheduled as
another test match in the series
between the White and Reds.
ostenSibly to discover the best
combination available. Actually,
however, the match has been
arranged to sustain a precon,
ceived opinion, namely, that Hop
ping. without so much as having
played more than one match
during this series, is the best mali
to ride with Pedley. Hitchcock
and Guest. This speaks very
well for the polo association. It
even knows who Is the best man
for No. 2 before the best man
himself knows it.
The tacitIy nominated big
four will be playing together
for the first time and may
not do 50 well. However, the
junior, Mr.. Hitchcock IL con-
vinced that MIR. Hopping Is
the man he wants, and there
is at least one thing to be
said for young MIR. Hitchcock:
He may not always get what he
wants, but he never gets what he
doesn't want. It is obvious that
he doesn't want Elmer BoeSeke,
the Californian, or either Cecil
Smith or Ruhe williams at No. 2.
Cecil and Rube have played
better at No. 2 during this series
than Hopping did upon his first
appearance In the matches last
Wednesday. The latter. Of course,
Is Just recovered from the injury
that kept him out Of the early
trials and perhaps isn't ready yet.
He has been quite polo player
for upward Of 10 years, 50 there
is reason to suspect that he can't
play polo now. AS for BoeSeke,
this huge person, who sits his
horse as he might q child'S
velocipede, made an appearance
at No. 2 for the varsity and then
went into the silence.
If there was anything
wrong with his performance,
nobody ever found cut what
It was. Indeed, he smote 50
many long ores down the
field that Pedley, who Ii

man, rang the ben for .

another. IL Is suspected that the

ORDER
WITH SAME
men, TIP

Boy howdy, how those ALI
American team selections are roll
ing in!
Anybody who thinks there's no
interest In baseball, or cynics
who insist that fans don't know
their baseball onions, had better
start revising their figures here
and now.
They do know-and they're
proving it every day in these
selections which continue to have
the mailman dizzy as he staggers
into The Times office on his
daily rounds After looking over
some several hundred OF the Sc.
lections, this writer for one, is
convinced that the fans not only
like the game-but follow it
closely.
They know who the stars
are and what they can do
and there's q surprising
unanimity Of opinion aS\ con-
Germs the best men for most
of the posts on the All
American team.
Here's one thing though that
all of you who submit teams
want to remember. You can't
switch players. For instance you
can take a center fielder and put
him in right field, or a right
fielder and put him in left
merely for the sake of getting
him on your team. The players
named must have played at least
one game at the position for
which they are chosen.
The fact that there may be
half a dozen great right fielders
and no man whom you consider
worthwhile for, say, center field
doesn't alter the case. You've got
to pick men for their regular
positions.
BY the way don't forget that
you can send in as many selec-
tions as you please. Some Of the
fans already have come in with
20 or 30 different selections and
as many different batting orders.
That batting order, incidentally,
seems to be a tougher Job for
most Of the contestants than Sc.
lecting the men for the team.
The way to lick that one of
course is to select your men, and
then send in several batting
orders.
Another thing. Don't for.
get that you must write on
only one side of the paper.
That's important. For when
1t comes to Judging the
judges can't handle selections
that are written on both
sides of q sheet Of paper.
And remember, too, the Babe
will not name himself for place
on the team. Some of you ap-
parently have overlooked that
point and have selected Ruth for
right field. You're wrong to start
so if you happen to be one OF
the fans who did that, better
send in a new team right now,
for the other one is wrong.
But more important get your
selections in early and keep them
coming. The washington Times
and Babe Ruth want to make
this the biggest contest ever-for
we want to prove that you people,
as baseball fans, know your
onions. We want to show the
pessimistS that interest in base
bali isn't dead.
Keep them ccming-let'S give
| the judges q real job. and -four
of you who pick the team near

SHIFT IN VIEW
OF SOUTH SEEN
IN HARRIS RACE
Democrat Change Revealed
in PIatfrom Adopted by
u. S. Senator.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 26.-A shift
of southern Democrats attitude
toward major national and interna-
tional policies, including desertion
of Woodrow wilson's League OF Ma
tions, is revealed today in publica-
ton in the congressional record OF
the platform Of which Senator
Harris, of Georgia will seek re-elec-
ton in the September primary.
The outline of chosen issues makes
no mention of prohibition problems,
passes by his support of Al Smith
for President in silence, denounces
Mrs. Ruth McCormick's campaign
expenditures, advocates American
adherence to the world court with
drastic reservations, declares for
white supremacy. looks forward to
even more restricted immigration
laws and assails the so-called
"Grundy tariff" as the most IN
iouitous measure in history"
The document is considered Sig
nificant because Harris has demon
strated his aptitude for sounding
and following political sentiment IN
his state and in the south. More
over, he has an especially strong OPP
ponent in former Governor John M.
Slaton, who has been campaigning
vigorously for the nomination.
Raps "Seat Buying"
Harris is believed to be the first
member of the senate to raise his
voice publicly against Mrs. McCor-
mick's expenditures in her success
full contest for the Republican
senatorial nomination in Illinois.
1.-THE greatest menace to this form
of government is the election of
senators and representatives through
the use of money" the statement
said. THE senate should not be
millionaireS' club"
A great admirer of Wilson and an
original supporter of the league,
Harris has changed his stand, the
platform says, because our World
war allies since have revealed their
true attitude toward this country
with reference to the settlement Of
war debts, and the league has not
been conducted on such a plane and
in such a manner as to accomplish
the high objects and purposes of
Woodrow Wilson"
Ignores Dry Efforts
Under all conditions existing to-
day." the document continues,

ACCIDENT OF SCIENCE
TO HELP TAME DESERT
Instrument Is Devised to Warn of
Approaching Sand Storms.

PARIS, July 28.-By an accident,
three French scientists have discov-
cred a means of regulating the des-
ert.
A delicate acknowledgement, the
fruit of their subsequent expert
ments, henceforth will warn of ap-
preaching sandstorms in ample time
for troops and travellers to seek
shelter.
Surveying the insect menace in
Africa by means of a scientific out
post at the oasis of Ell Golea, the
Frenchman, Jean Lugeon, with two
associates, erected an atmoradio-
graph to observe movements of fly
ing insect hordes through the desert
air.
On July u, Lugeon detected Pc
culiar noise through the telephone
apparatus connected with the atnlo-
photograph. 1t was like the steady
rata tat-tat of a machine gun. He
recognized at once he was hearing
something other than insects. In
vestigation revealed that sand
storm was rising.
The three explorers were able to
produce an improved atmoradio-
graph, designed expressly for the
detection of approaching sand
storms.

Conservatives Seek to-

MONTREAL, Quebec, July 25.-
Canadian voters balloted today on
the question of allowing the nine
year-old Liberal government OF
Prime Minister Mackenzie King to
continue in power. or turning the
government over to the Conserva-
tires, headed by R. B. Bennett.
Foremost among the policies to be
decided by the voters choice is that
of a tariff aimed to protect the
dominion against competition by
the United States.
If the Conservatives win a ma
jority of seats in the house of COM
mons, as they claim they can, it is
probable retaliatory measures will be
taken against the Snoot-Hawley
tariff bill.
Prime Minister King, however,
would continue his present policy OF
maintaining a low tariff regardless
of the action of the United States.
Other major issues are unemploy-
ment and the industrial situation,
seen as depressed by the Conserva-
tives.
The Liberals hold the country has
prospered under their regime.
Conservatives charge the tariff
was written to satisfy free trade
opinion in western provinces, re-
sulting in increased unemployment
and the migration of the Canadians
to the United States.
The tariff also resulted in de-
crease of articles manufactured in
Canada, the Conservatives claim,
causing loss to the country's indus
try.
Both major parties are in favor Of
the st. Lawrence waterway project.
despite the fact that Quebec, with
so Liberal out of IS members in the
house of commons, opposes it.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb, CA rich find of what are strongly indicated to be Lincoln relics has been made in . Virginia farmhouse
 Two Blackstone women, search ing for an antique waffle iron, dis covered the pieces, and inyest.ga- tion seems to prove them valuable pcssessions Of the civil war presi- dent.
 Sworn statements, records of the Government Of the District of Co., lumbia and atfidavits from the war ard treasury departments give con- firmation to the Story related by Silas c. Munden, Amelia county farmer, and authentic sources for the belief that the collection in his farmhouse is from the private household and office of Lincoln.
 On the parlor wall in the Mum den home was found a likeness Of President Lincoln and metal re- lief bust, almost life size, with a background of dark red velvet.
 Nearby was a small framed pho tcgraph of the President, seated by a table on which a young boy leaned. Mrs. Munden informed her visitors that the boy was believed to be Lincoln's oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln. He died in 1926.
 The visitors made further in- auiries and were shown the small scfa covered with dark red plush and two arm chairs to match.
 Realizing that they had stum- bled by accident on a part of the personal possessions of Lincoln, the guests asked further questions and Mrs. Munden sent her small son upstairs with instructions to bring President Lincoln's law office c chair"
 Silas Munden told the visitors a story of the possessions that rec crds of the government in Wash ington indicate is correct in all details that could be verified
