Al CROWDER
ON MOUND
FORGR|FFS
BY GARRETT WATERS


The one and only, the incom.
parable, the mighty. of the pres
ent baseball world stalks to the
pitching mound today as the
Washington Griffmen and Phila.
delphia AS battle for the third
time in the current series, follow
ing the ScorelesS tie of yesterday
halted by rain during the eighth
inning.
Yes, Manager Johnson's men
get a load of Lefty Grove, better
known to his family as Robert
Moses Grove, today. And II
slender Bobby is right Manager
Walters men are likely to be in
for a tough afternoon.
Crowder For Griffs
Still, he might not be feeling so
we'll with the result that timely
hits should clock off Griff bats.
It's been known to be possible.
Whatever is the case Grove will
be on the hill throwing them and
all fans interested will be view
ing him.
Alvin CrOwder is Manager
JOhnson's selection for slab
duty. The General has been
filling relief roles recently, but
is once again ready to take a
starting turn.
The Griffs will be out to make
it two straight over their peSky
rivals whom they must defeat in
this series to stay in the race at
all.
When a guy pitches as nicely
as Irving Hadley did yesterday
and then isn't given a chance to
win his game, it's shame, that's
all. But then Hadley might turn
in another gallant effort, If
given a chance later.
Good in Pinches
Walberg was just as good as
Hadley for the AS, which ex-
plains why scoreless tie resulted.
True, both he and Irving expert
enced plenty of trouble during
the course of the proceedings, but
at every turn they had enough in
reserve to stem the tide for their
respective teams.
The AS had great chances to
score in the first and second
innings as their most danger
Gus socks at Hadley. Irving
was nicked for two bingIes in
each of these frames, only to
come out of them unscOred by
nice pinch pitching, also nice
fielding on the part Of his
mates.
The Griff's best chance was in
the second when they filled the
bases with one out. Harris and
West singled, Bluege sacrificed
and Kuhel walked to bring about
this situation. But the best
Spencer could do was to roll to
Jimmy Dykes, who stepped on
third, forcing West, then doubled
Roy at first with fast throw
to Foxx.
Rain Ends 1t
Myer doubled in the third with
one out, but got no farther when
Manush and Cronin were easy
outs. Hadley was safe on Will
liamS' error and Cronin walked
in the fifth, but still no runs
resulted, as Myer, Manush and
Harris lifted up easy flies.
In the eighth, with it rain
ing. CrOnin singled and went
to second on Harris sacrifice.
This again went for naught
when Umpire MCGOWAN called
time because the rain by that
time was so heavy that it was
impossible to continue.
A run might have been scored
here, as Walberg looked as if he
was weakening. Also West and
Bluege were standing waiting to
sock the cover off the ball. oh,
well, today and tomorrow are two
new days.

BILLY BURKE
WORTHY GOLF
CHAMP
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

TOLEDO, Ohio, July billy
Burke, the courageous ex-caddy Of
Greenwich, Conn, who won the
United States golf championship
after a sensational 72-hole play-off
with George Won Elm, Of Los
Angeles, was hailed today as
worthy successor to the illustriouS
Bobby Jones, whose crown he now
wears.
Burke's epic victory, the hardest
ever earned in major tourna-
ment, demonstrated beyond all
doubt that he was the class of the
field of $50 entrants who so hope
fully started out last Thursday in
quest of the glory that goes with
the winning of a national open.
He had to have class to conquer a
field that included Won Elm, Leo
Diegel, Bill Mehlhorn, Gene Sar-
azen, Tommy Armour, Walter
Hagen, Whiffy Cox, Macdonald
Smith, Mortie Dutra, AL Espinosa,
and Johnny Farrell, to say moth
ing of the foreign stars who fell
by the wayside.
Many a year will pass before
the pros in their locker rooms,
the sports writer's and the run-of.
mine golfers cease to discuss the
sensational 72-hole play-off that
Burke was forced to go through
to settle his right to the crown.
It was something that never has
happened before and probably
will never happen again.
Burke rose to the heights
when he ultimately conquered
Won Elm by the slim margin
of one stroke yesterday eve
ming in the second 36-hOle play
over battle-Scarred Inverness.
They had been tied on Satur-
day evening at the end of the
regulation IL holes Of cham
pionship play at 292 each, two
strokes ahead of Leo Diegel.
When Burke and Won Elm
shook hands on that last green,
Burke had a grand total Of $50
strokes for IA holes, and Won
Elm 500. No two golfers in all
history had staged such a close
and unrelenting battle.
Burke's Game Steadier
Burke's game was a trifle more
consistent that Won Elm's. The
latter was brilliant but erratic
at times. Burke recorded only
three 6's throughout the entire
championship. He played steady
and brainy golf, and his poise
was superb.
Unstinted credit must be &C
corded Won Elm. He was superb
in defeat. He demonstrated he
is one of the best money players"
in the game by three sterling
performances, namely: First, when
he shot a birdie 3 Saturday
afternoon to tie Burke at 292;
second, when he shot four sue
cessive brides on Sunday to stay
in the running in the first 36-hole
play-off, and third, when, on the
final green Sunday afternoon he
shot a birdie to tie Burke with
149 and force the playing Of an
other 36-hole round.
Burke, whose real name is Bur
kowski, is only 20 years old, and
undoubtedly has a great future
in golf. He is a phlegmatic ap-
pearing chap, we'll built. dark
complexioned and black-haired.
He is quiet and unassuming and
is tremendously liked by his fel-
low golfers. His victory was i'm
mensely popular with his brother
golfers.

election of the members of the board necessary every two years from now on instead of every six years, as was the case up to the present.
 In the first ward voting last night, the regular republican orr ganization obtained 301 votes as against 15 for the Udelowitz forces. In the second ward the regular vote was 452 against 19 for Udel- owitz. In the third ward 422 votes went to the regular organization while Udelowitz was able to obtain only 12 votes. The fourth ward gave the regular organization 429 votes as against for UdelowitZ. A complete white washing" was given Udelowitz in the fifth ward.
 In the fifth the regular organ ization was given 596 votes while Udelowitz was unable to get even one vote there. The fifth ward gave the regular organization the largest vote of all the wards while the second ward was next. The fourth followed with the third ward next and the first ward last.
 The Udelowoitz forces received their largest vote in the second ward. The first ward was next and then the third ward followed. The fourth ward was next to last witk the fifth ward, showing a big zero, bringing up the finish.
 Although the balloting was by wards, the voters of Waterville cast their votes in the sixth dis trict polling place. This was done to convenience the voters of that district. The sixth district gave the regular organization an over whelming majority, also.
 The voting in last nights pri- maries was so small and those casting ballots showed such little interest that one would hardly have known there was contest on. The town committee spent no funds for the contest, save routine expenses, and the United Front party did the same. In both camps workers volunteered their services.
 But the support of the Udelo- witz forces was so lacking that the United Front was without workers or tellers in some instances. At torney Michael Galullo, working for the regular organization, was lOTCGu NOidhtCCh oo o sSAact Aoh the United Front in Waterville so as to fill up the necessary schedule of election officials.
 The victory of the regular or- ganization last night over the United Front party represented a vote of A to l. In the democratic primaries last week Mayor Frank Hayes defeated eK-Superintendent of Streets William E. Kennedy by a vote of to l. The voting in the democratic primaries, however. was about seven times heavier than the polling in last nights 6. o. D.. primaries.
 Taking the great interest demon strated in the democratic primar- les and comparing it with the vote cast in last nights g. O. p. contest, 1t is more and more apparent that Mayor Hayes will sweep the demo- cratic party to victory this year in the October elections.
 There are approximately 25,000

tomorrow, It is likely that the conventions will take place next "wednesday or Thursday, he said unofflcially.
 Commenting on last nights pri- mary results, Attorney Conway declared that the outcome was no surnrise to him. However" he explained, "the vote was exception slly good because 1t had been the general fear that the organization supporters would be lax in gong to the polls in view of the lack of serious opposition.
 Had there been more serious opp5sition than that offered by the United Front party, the vote would have been larger in proportion. AS 1t was the total of the ballots cast was very good under the circum- stances"
 Attorney Conway called upon every republican in the city to pre- pare immediately for the cam 1,aign. which will get underway af- fer next weeks conventions. George Tracy of the Tracy Brothers company, will be the g. Q. D. nominee for mayor. No fights in the conventions are expected ex- cept for the post of registrar of voters.

Hartford, Conn. Sept 2-(UP)- Governor Wilbur k. Cross is ex- pected to decide after his return to the capitol tomorrow what action should be taken with regard to State Aviation Commissioner Charles Lester Morris and Deputy Commissioner Jack Lenox, who were criticised severely in the re- port of the grand jury which inves- tigate the death of two army avia- tors in a plane crash at Newington July 20.
 The question the governor must decide, 1t was believed, was wheth- er the blame attached to Lenox for flying in the path of the army planes which crashed and the criticism of Morris for a1lesedly attempting to shield his associate warrants removal of one or both officials.

Der of the Territorial Committee, J A. Davis acting as secretary. After discussing the suggested Di- visional Convention, with the un- animous approval of those pres ent, MT. Hellenthal announced that he would immediately authorize the Democratic voters in each pre- cinct in this end of the Division to call caucusses to choose delegates for a divisional convention to be held at Petersburg sometime in Mo- vember. He will confer with other members of the Divisional Commit tee and fix dates for both the convention and the caucusses.
 Each precinct in the Division will be allowed one delegate at large, and an additional delegate for each 50 votes cast for party candidates in the last election.
 MT. Hellenthal was authorized to name precinct committeeman who will look after holding the conven- ton caucusses.
 The holding of a Territorial con- vcntion was favored by the party members at last nights gathering. Senator Shattuck, Representative Frank A. Boyle, National Commit teeman J. J. Connors, s. Helen thai and J. A. Hellenthal spoke briefly in support of the idea which, apparently. found no critics among i the attendance.
 "The Democratic Party today has the strongest, livest political organ ization in the country, and the opposition is striving to model it's ! own along the same lines" de- clared S. Hellenthal. Tt is fitting trat in Alaska we should put our own party organization into the same sort of condition so that we c can carry the Territory into the Democratic ranks next year along with the rest of the country" : It is the party's duty to pick the best available timber to offer the electors next year for Territorial and Divisional offices, declared J. J. Connors. The only practicable way in which the party as a whole can do this is to gather its repre- sentatives together to canvass the field and agree upon the strong est and best fitted men and wom- en to make the races, he added.

BOMB ATTACK ATTEMP ON
 JUROR WELLER
War Veteran, Voting Con-
 viction in Clark Case, s < Is Near Victim

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 26.-- The maker of dynamite bomb frustrated his own attempt to blow up the house of William Weller, aged B years, war veteran, whose vote for conviction prevented the acquittal of David Clark, former Deputy District Attorney for the murder of Charles Crawford, veal thy politician and realty broker, and Herbert Spencer, newspaper man last July. The jury was dis missed last Sunday after being deadlocked Il to for acquittal. E The bomb was gas pipe stuffed with dynamite and sand. The fire had gone out just before reaching the cap. Tape around the fuse smothered 1t.
 Mrs. Weller found the bomb wrapped in newspaper.
 The authorities said they believe the attempted bombing is the work of a crank.
