Coz ernor Albert C. Ritchie. of Mary land, made q speech few days ago in which he omitted all refer ence to prohibition, probably the first time this has happened in his adult life.
 Roosevelt has not discussed pro- hibition for months. Most d mocratic politicians, realizing their party is deeply divided on prohibition, welcome q situation which will force this troublesome question into the back ground.
 Another reason national demo- cratic leaders are rather cool TO- ward making primary issue of prohibition is cited by the woman's Christian Temperance Union.

It was decided then that all eviction orders would be held up temporarily, that the aid of dis trict United States officials would be asked at the meeting to-day and that efforts to preventra new out break would be directed principal ly toward relief of the unemploy- ment situation rather than by use of force.
 Meanwhile, hundreds of police remained massed in the riot tOrr

 whom were, said to be Moscow trained communist leaders, were under arrest.
 One of them, Lewis Tcmmes, ar immigrant. was accused by police of melting q riot among several thousand unemployed negroes by diverting their attention from an unemployment parade and arous- ing them to attack police and municipal bailiffs who were evict- ing Mrs Diana Gross, 72, into the streets.
 The rioting started when two municipal bailiffs and two police men accompanied by M. ;. kol- liner, a real estate agent, to 4311 South Michigan avenue and moved into the street the household goods of the negro tenant.
 While the eviction was in pro- gross, several thousand unemploy- ed communist sympathizers were
 being organized for a parade in a park not far away. When word reached them of the eviction, the rioting started.
 Reports of what followed were conflicting. The police with kol- liner were attached. Reserves rushed out Joined in open fighting in the streets.
 One squad car which arrived

 men, John McFadden. and Mar tin Ernst, and q negro officer, Fred Graham. The police were dragged out and beaten unconscious.

 If you and the committee take favorable action on the petition of myself and my democratic friends, nay I suggest that the moderators be assigned to the various voting places In the primaries in the same manner as is followed by the registrars of voters in assigning moderators on election day"
 Is the voting by districts takes place in the primaries, of course, there will be 20 moderatOrs need ed. one for each district. The !; Jwn committee and the registrars have the power of namii . all the moderators. Therefore, appar- ently, Mr Kennedy seeks to get q 5O-5O break in the naming of the primaries so that he will have the naming of at least 10 of the 20 moderatOrs to be designated.
 Last night the Hayes and Ken nedy forces held sepaarte forces. Democrats of the first ward back ing each candidate met at the re- epective headquarters of the two orga nizltions and laid plans for the primary contest. Tonight the Kennedy forces of the second ward will meet at the orGaniZa- tion's headquarters at 42 Bank street.
 Tonight, also. the democratic town committee will meet and for maIly designate August 27th as the date of the primaries. This date was exclusively announced late yesterday afternoon by the Democrat. At the town commit tee meeting, also, other matters such AS naming the polling places, will be taken care of.

 The news here last night was that instead of following this di- rect course, Lindbergh had decid ed definitely to follow q semi-cir- cular route to the south, going by way of Hunter Bay. Great Bear Lake, Fort Norman and the Mack enZie river.
 This route increased the distance to about 1900 miles, but was far less hazardous. Following this route, the Lindbcrghs seldom were out of sight of great bodies of water. The distance between set- dement's would be much less.

 Colonel House. adviser and rep resentativc of President Woodrow Wilson in many of the neGotih- tions attending American partlci- patton in the World war, has lost none of his zeal for success of the democratic party.
 A short time ago he announced ne WOuIu uD tNtI JlbiIIG po5SiDi' to secure the democratic nomina- ton of 1892 for Governor Frank lin b. Roosevelt of New York.
 There are several reasons why I favor the nomination of Roose- welt" Colonel House said. First, l consider him the most available man that the democrats have. Sec ond, he is opposed to the Shoot Hawley tariff, and am very much against 1t, too. Third, the republicans are more afraid of Governor Roosevelt than of any other possible nominee. and 1 don't want to help the republicans defeat him for the nomination. And then, also. Governor Roose- welt is an old friend of mine-a friend 1 have known for 20-odd gears. and 1 am q friend of mem bers of his family"

By PAUL ZIMMERMAN GA. P. Sports Writer)

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. IT, Southern California's Pacific Coast championship basketeers will open up with a quick breaking offense this season in an effort to retain their title.
 The reason for the departure from their defensive tactics and the methodical attack of last winter lies in the fact that Coach Justin Sam" Barry has found lack of rangy players to fill the gaps of graduation.
 One of the chief problems con- fronting Coach Barry in his second year since leaving Iowa university, is that of developing center to match the prowess of Jess Morten- sen, the most outstanding of the three first team members missing this season.
 Mortensen, one of Troys great est all-around athletes, was the backbone of both the passing at tack and defense. Frank Hopkins, unschooled in varsity competition probably will be called upon as the replacement.
 Capt. Wilbur Caldwell, guard, and Jack Gardner, forward, are the only veterans of the first five on hand this year. Gardner rang up ITO points in competition last season as the teams chief scorer. Bill Pierce, a former substitute, is his running mate. Clifton Capps, of slight experience may be the other regular guard.
 After winning the southern divi- sion last spring the Trojans took the championship by defeating the Washington university Huskies, two games out of three.
 To capture the southern division honors this season will be a more difficult task, however. Stanford has imported a new coach in John- ny Bum, for a number of years Coach 'Phog" Aliens assistant at Kansas university. Bunn's material is good. California, for years the leader in the far vests court game and 1929 champions, will be blessed with the undivided attention of Coach Clarence Price, who recently resigned as grid mentor of the Golden Bears.
 The University of California at Los Angeles, with four first team players back, should wage a stiff fight.

Checking over the items that had to be seen to be believed dur ing 1880, we find the bowling stunt of George Rudolph among the most conspicuous. At Wauke- gan, H., George rolled consecutive games of 279, 29e and 300 for a three-game total of 878-only g pins short of three perfect games in rowl

 National league 'magnates out boxed an imposing set of figures, showing the menace of the rising tide of home runs in declining to take any definite action against the lively ball" for 1881.
 Privately, they hope Hack Will son (who came within five of doing it this year) or some other Nation al league slugger will beat Babe Ruth's record of 60 before anything is done to extract the jack-rabbit juice from the ball.
 The growth of the circuit clout in National league company is shown by these figures for the past three years:
 1928-Home runs, all parks, 610
