ROCHESTER, Mlnn., March 28. Ernest s. Barnard, President of the American Baseball League, died unexpectedly last night as the re- suit of heart trouble. He had cut short his trips to the spring train- ing camps because of stomach trouble and came here.
 Although as young man he pro- bably never dreamed of becoming president of the American League, Ernest Sargent Barnard received a training that peculiarly fitted him for that office.
 He had been actively associated with athletics in one way or an- other since his prep school days, but most of the time his interest was centered in baseball.
 Baseball Experience
 Consequently when he was elect ed president of the junior major league in 1927 he assumed his du- ties with confidence backed up by actual experience in every de- partmen of baseball management In fact there was little about the national game with which he was not personally acquainted. except, perhaps as professional player and umpire.
 Serving as baseball writer and sports editor created in MT. Bar nard a desire to get in closer touch with professional baseball and when an opportunity presented itself he a league club. Next he was selected president of a minor league and there followed nearly 25 years service with a major league club as secretary, business and president.
 When Byron Bancroft Johnson virtually forced his own resigna- ton as president of the American League by his numerous conflicts with Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis, the names of several men were mentioned as possibilities for the place. It was not surprising, however, that the club owners turn ed to MT. Barnard and elected him

DEATHS STIR FIGHT
/ FOR HOUSE POWER
Empty Seats in Six States
Renew Party Contest
for Mastery.
ny the Associated Press.

@y the Associated Press.
Congressional seats emptied by death
have opened anew in six States the po-
litical tug Of war begun last November
for mastery of the House.
Administration forces returned from
the last election with q majority Of
two, but since have seen that margin
cut and restored as members Of both
parties passed on. Today House rolls
Farmer-Laborite and vacancies.
Ohio with two. Wisconsin, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Georgia and New York
with one vacancy each, supply the
fields Of contest on which control of the
House may hinge. Control now is
doubtful, with groups in both parties
forecasting victory, while others dis
claim any desire to organize for ses-
sion which history may record as one
of the most turbulent.
Dissension Looms Large.
Internal party dissension, aggravated
by the depression and sectional inter-
ests, loom large on the horizon and may
prove weightier factor In the outcome
than opportunities provided each party
to gain strength in the vacant districts.
Already Progressive groups have made
concrete legislative demands as the
price of supporting either party candi-
date for the Speakership, and dead
lock has been predicted In some quar-
tiers unless these demands are met.
Meantime, death has shown a nom
partisan trendp striking in districts with
definite political compilations. OF three
vacancies caused by Democratic deaths
one is in Georgia and one in Brooklyn,
while the Cleveland seat of Charles A.
Mooney has a strong Democratic record.
Speaker Nicholas Longworth held the
first Ohio district for the Republican
party for l6 successive years, suffering
only one defeat In Is elections. Henry
Allen Cooper, progressive Republican,
represented the first Wisconsin district
for SO years.
Representative George Scott Graham
served nine consecutive terms from
Republican Philadelphia. Bird j. Vim
cent, Republican, succeeded the G. o.
p. Stalwart and tariff Trainer Joseph
w. Fordney, in the eighth Michigan
district.
Since the first Of the year there have
been eight deaths in the membership
OF the seventy-Second House. divided
equally between Democrats and Repub-
licans. The seat held by Representative
James B. AsWell in Louisiana has been
filled by another Democrat, John Over
ton.
Earlier, the Brooklyn districts repre-
scented by John F.. Quayle and David J.
O'Connell were left vacant by death
They were filled again by Democrats
but the death in May of Matthew j.
O'Malley who succeeded Quayle, re-
opened the seventh district for another
election contest.
