STADIUM, CHICAGO,

publicans here two weeks ago
to go to the country on the
record of the Hoover Admin

the Democrats today in the
opening session of what
promises to be a turbulent
convention.
In ringing tones, the convention
keynoter, Senator A. w. Barkley

out the campaign Of 80 on the

Taking cognizance of the Demo

that Congress pass resolution
repeating the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the" Constitution, and
that this be then submitted to
the States for ratification by
State constitutional conventions
whose delegates shall be chosen
upon this issue alone" He said:
"If the people are to pass
again upon this question let
them pass upon it in such
bald, naked and unequivOcal
terms as to make their decision
intelligent and certain.
eff their verdict shall be In
favor of retaining the Eight
eenth Amendment, let every
true citizen accept the decision
and abide by it in letter and
spirit.

repeal, then let every branch
of the National Government ex-
erciSe all their powers to pro-
tect the States in the Observ-
ance and enforcement of the
laws they shall enact to con-

traffic in intoxicating liquors"
This came after Barkley had

n YEW YORK, May 13.-Wide-eyed
nj with establishment at the re-
" port from New Orleans that
the United States Davis Cup
team had gone into secret practice for
their second American zone match
against Mexico - it begins today-of-
ficials Of the United States Tennis As
ISOLATION are inquiring of one another
what it is all about.
Secret practice for tennis players is
absolutely new one on all close fol-
lowers Of the sport. Yet, as q result
OF these closed gate operations We are
advised that John Van Ryn's singles
game has been increased IS per cent
and that the playing form of the team
has been improved 80 per cent.
THESE are exact figures and, of
l. course, are amazing. Van Ryn
and Frank Shields, go the infor-
nation goes, were taught several new
strokes which they acquired readily"
This. OF course, is great news. That
Shields and Van Ryn, or any tennis
players whatever, could in the course
OF one secret practice session acquire
new and valuable strokes means, for
one thing, that we shall have to revise
the theory and practice Of tennis in
which the idea obtained that stroking
is a rare and delicate art and is per-
fected only through long, arduous and
difficult processes.
Then, searching the New Orleans re-
port further. comes the explanation of
what originally was completely mysteri-
GUS. The Davis Cup team in its secret
practice was under the tuition Of Mercer

ton, is college tennis coach in New

Outdoor Season.

M door wrestling season is a

out of last nights grand
finale at the Washington Auditorium
rose a new mat hero, who takes place
along with Fred Grobmier as a mailman
and who will see plenty of action dur
ing the outdoor season, which will open
next Thursday at Griffith Stadium.
Howard Cantonwine, by his quick,
decisive victory over Sander Szabo,
stamped himself one of Jack Curley's
best bets. The burly Midwesterner,
bearing a strong resemblance to Stran-
gler Lewis, was far too good for Szabo,
although the lighter Hungarian gave
Cantonwine several anxious moments.
THE match was marked by much ell
l. bow-slinging and body-Slamming
crowd-pleasing tactics Cantonwine
weakened Szabo in the early going with
a series Of leg holds on the Hungarian's
right pin and polished him off with a
series of noisy body slams. The victory
kept the former BowSer stars record
clean IN the Curley circuit. only draw
with Jim Mcmillan mars his record Of
triumphs.
Fritz Kley, wrestler -contortionist.
also maintained his undefeated record
by finishing Mike Romano, veteran
italian mailman, in 18 minutes of lively
tussling. Kley. unbeaten in this coun-
try, kept the crowd in the usual uproar
with his pretzellike movements, getting

ponent from obtaining them, etc.

ging with series of headlocks. The
time was 1917 minutes.
Alex Aberg, who lost to George Hagen
a week ago and demanded a return

.BACKERS SCARCE,
EQUIPMENT WORN
Interest in Game Holds Up,
but Players Are Hit by
Economic Slump.
BY FRANCIS e. STAN.

THOSE who gazed with some
alarm at the apparent de-
cline of interest in sandlot
base ball a few years ago,
then saw the sport splurge in 1880,
have their optics fixed worriedly
on the amateur tossers once again.
Like most everything else, the depres-
sion seems to have taken a sock at
sandlot ball. Where kid mines strode
forth during the last few years in
natty uniforms, a decent ball or two
and some passable gloves and mitts, all
gifts of some business concern trying
to help the youngsters along, many
now must be content with assorted
unies, tire-taped pellets and 1927 and
1928 gloves.
IT isn't because interest in sandlot ball
i has fallen off, though it may cause
that 30 happen. It's just because, as
youthful manager remarked recently,
ITS hard to get somebody to back us. "
During the Summer Of 1880, six week
day leagues were in operation. The
following year found the Morning and
Evening Terminal Leagues disbanded.
This season the cid Government
League. long the sandlot fans standby,
folded up
Some Of the Government ,ague
teams secured franchises in the Depart
mental League. bringing the total of
clubs in that circuit to nine, three less
than competed last year in both loops.
THE Industrial League, which in
i Guided six teams last year, now
has only FIVE The Georgetown
Church League, which also had half a
dozen entries a year ago, has only four
now.
AS far as the sandlot ball followers
are concerned at present they will have
plenty of amusement. The caliber Of
play, according to sandlot pilots, has
been improved because there are more
players and fewer teams. But the de-
velopment Of new toSsers isn't progress
ing any faster as result.

IL semi-pro base ball team that

Anyway Bill Flester, pilot of the

A. French tossers, seems to think
so after receiving letter from the
Lynchburg manager regarding Sun
days game between the Trenches
and Lynchburg.
I'VE will give you $40 extra If you
beat u.s." writes the Lynchburg
pilot. Don't use your girl first
baseman (Flester has been playing
Evelyn Lynch in out = Of = town
games), because we want you to
have your full strength and trim us.
Fans down here think I'm booking

We win so much.'

ter read "A left-handed pitcher

that has loft enough to give him
confidence even If he cannot get the
distance he needs. OF course, man
like Tommy Armour, sketched above,
would expect more.
Using his iron, the player has the
choice of two methods in playing.
In the first, as in using his woods,
he cuts off the edge of the cup be-
hind the ball, going no deeper than
the top roots of the grass. If he
takes up large slice of turf the
shot will fail.
Have you used up two or three
strokes getting out of a sand trap?

your score. Write for 1t in care of
