 The Gannet players found the ball when the game was over. Dur ing the early part of the game, the Gannet kept safe lead and Hunt CT, pitching for the Navy, kept feeding the locals some slow-mov- ing balls which they invariably wanted to kill.
 Then came the time when the locals discovered they were swing ing too hard and they began con- meeting and sent the ball out into the field for safe hits time and time again, until the score had been evened up. The seventh inning found both teams tied in runs and an extra inning was played but this also resulted in tie. The locals piled up some more scores in the ninth but the Gannet lads failed to knot this.

CHICAGO. july 1.-The Democratic

Former Gov. Frederick D. Gardner,
St Louis: The sentiment Of the people

prohibition has failed and believe the
plan offered BY the Democratic platform

the ticket in Missouri and ether states
will be strengthened Our plank Is
clear and clean-cut, while the Repub-
ican plank is straddle"
Judge william T. Ragland. Paris
chairman OF the delegation: The repeal
plank will add to the Democratic ma
jority in Missouri. but economic factors
will be the controlling ones"
Thomas J. Pendergast, Kansas City

TACTICS DISPLEASE
MAINE DELEGATES
Vote for Roosevelt on First
Ballots, but Reveal Re-
sentiment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July Maine cast its
IL votes for Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt
in the first ballot for the presidential
nomination at the Democratic eonven-
ton at dawn today, but there was a
growing feeling Of dissatisfaction in the
group over the tactics Of Roosevelt
managers in holding the delegates
throughout the night.
During the more than six hours of
speech making in nominating and sec
ending speeches the delegates sat with
but occasional murmurS OF diSpleasure.
Grows to Resentment.
But with coming of dawn displeasure
grew TO resentment.
Michael Pilot of Bangor said he would
demand that Otis F. Gould, delegation
chairman. announce in future ballot
ing the II votes were cast under the
unit rule.
The delegation was instructed for
Roosevelt and bound under the unit
rule by the State convention in March.
There was even talk of demanding n
poll by the convention chairman on
every ballot as a rebuke to Roosevelt
leaders in forcing continuation Of the
all-night session.
IF there is any way to break the
unit rule" Pilot said, Il would like TO
do it. They're turning delegates away
from Roosevelt by their actions"
Most Ardent Irked.
Pilot made this comment while the
New York delegation was being polled
by the convention chairman.
Even some OF the more ardent Roose-
welt supporters in the delegation were
i.ked and spoke feelingly of the lack Of
sleep.
A motion by Senator Connally Of
Texas for adjournment soon after 2
O'Clock this morning saw Maine voting
solidly for continuation. but the con-
tinuance drs gged on and on until even
the more even tempers were decidedly
