CHICAGO, June 29.--Traffic cops

duties on the second floor of the
Congress hotel today. Two were on
duty in the corridor that has been
labeled Candidates Row" by bright
young reporters, who must tack a

The crush in the corridor was
much worse than that on Michigan

HOLSTERS TAKE
THREE SLAPS
At ROOSEVELT
New York Governor to Get
Dozen Votes, at Most,
on First Ballot.
CAUCUS BEING HELD
Proctor Is ThWarted at
Every Turn in Fight for
His Candidate.
BY BEN STERN

CHICAGO, June 29.-Clash over
the number Of votes TO be allotted
Franklin D. Roosevelt on the first
ballot for Democratic presidential
nominee is expected at the caucus of
the Indiana delegation today.
The fight will be waged by Robert
E. Proctor of Elkhart, Roosevelts
Indiana manager, who still is smart
ing from the manner in which the
state delegation cast its thirty votes
as a unit against three moves IA
vored by the New York Governor.
These were the seating of Huey
Longs Louisiana delegation, the
seating of the Minnesota pledged
delegation, and in the fight between
Jouett Shouse and Senator Thomas
Walsh for the permanent chairman
ship.
In each contest, the Hoosiers sided
with the stop Roosevelt group, and
by thus doing made powerful
friends, but Proctor felt the verbal
lash of James A. Farley of New
York, Roosevelt's national manager.
and although he tried to break the
bloc OF thirty votes, he failed ut
terly.
Fooled by McNutt
In retaliation, and to show Far
ley that he is powerful figure.
Proctor spent the night and early
morning attempting to line up
twenty-five votes.
But wherever he went, he found
that the leaders of Paul v. Nc
Nuts group had preceded him.
In fact, according to early infor-
nation, their work has been so well
done that Roosevelt will be given,
at maximum, not more than
twelve votes on the first ballot. The
probability is ten.
Frank McHale, of Logansport,
delegation chairman, has been urg-
ing that the vote be split in the
following manner: Roosevelt, 10;
Newton D. Baker, between 5 and 8:
Alfred E. Smith, the same number;
Governor Ritchie, ex-senator James
+. Reed, and Governor Harry Byrd
dividing the remainder.
This, according to McTIale. would
place Indiana in the most strategic
position.
IF Roosevelt can't make any
Roadway On two ballots, and some
other outstanding contender gains
ground, we can increase his vote"
McHale said before the caucus. eff
on the other hand, it looks as if
Roosevelt will make the grade, then
Indiana should start the rush to
him."
Sullivan Boosts Baker
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan of In
dianapoliS is scheduled to make a
plea for Baker support A great
admirer of the war secretary, Sulli-
van believes that he will help the
Indiana ticket more than any other
candidate mentioned, and although
Baker has made no move for the
nomination, the opportunity appears
ripe If the top Roosevelt lines hold.
The delegation also will be asked
to consider the platform plank on
prohibition, which is expected to
be completed by that time, and de-
eide whether it will support re-
submission or outright repeal.
Perry Mozart of Paoli, the states
member on the platform committee,
again said that he would vote for
repeal when the plank is drafted.

Beverley Beach is proving one of

There are two boat harbors for
use of the colony, excellent bath

water any depth desired, and a

ment-and Hollywood is wonder
ing whether it will postpone her
marriage to the star.
The former Ziegfeld beauty will
play one of the principal roles in
"Kongo," which goes into imme-
diate production at Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer. AS she will be busy
on the picture for several weeks,
it looks as if Jack will have to
wait while to put the platinum
and diamond band upon her
finger.
The marriage, Jack told me
only the other day, was scheduled
to take place as soon as he and
Ina Claire received their final
decree of divorce. Court records
show the interlocutory degree was
entered on August 5, 1881. Now
1t takes only a formal application
to cut the marital ties for good.
Strange thing about the ro-
nance of Jack and Virginia. He
met her when she came up for a
lead in his picture. After an
impetuous courtship, they an
nounced their engagement. Holly
wood smiled indulgently. They
said it was a phoney, a publicity
stunt. When Jack began shower

sure. Now, it seems, the two we're
on the level all the time. Holly
wood stands corrected.
Kindly old Carl Laemmle gave
them a laugh the other day when
the Finnish Olympic team visited
Universal.
Paavo Nurmi was along and ex-
planned through an interpreter
that he had been disqualified for
the games.

I can always use you as leg

him look bad.
On the other hand, Brown
figures to put Barry on the floor
for 10 if he lands the right shot.
Nate is a good right-hand puncher
and if Barry doesn't believe it,
all he need do is scan his op-
ponent's last few fights.
There is little or no question
that tonight's go between these

One of the ringside spectators
at the Gus Sonnenberg- "Boop

Boiling Field Armory evidently
thought that the former Dart
mouth and Detroit U. football
star was like a cripple in the
clutches of a madman.
This spectator, aroused at ap'
parent mistreatment on the part
of the "Bool," leaped to his feet
and tried to make the "Boop' re-
lease his unfair grip. The "Boop
showed aside the fan but the lat
ter only came back again and
actually succeeded in forcing the
"Bool" to release his helpless
enemy.
Sonnenberg, who has aged

Hard, Hard Work

But by dint of hard work, de-
termination and refusal to be
sidetracked, each is back in his
old role, and doing nicely,
thank you. We here in Wash
ington are all too familiar with
the valiant fight Judge made
against youth and an obdurate
management to win back his
Job at first base, but perhaps
some of the details of Lazzeri's
similar conquest are not so well
known locally.
Like Judge when he got to
Biloxi last month, Lazzeri
found himself a bench warmer
on arrival at st. Petersburg in
favor Of Jack Saltzgaver, who
was given the rating of reg
ular. It should be said for the
latter, as it should be said Of
Joe Kuhel, that he will be a
sweet successor when the pres
ent incumbent of his desired
berth becomes too antiquated
to step about a ball field.
But down through the years
Of baseball's history, there have
been few better ball players on
the second base job than Tony
Lazzeri. He has played spec
tacular baseball for the Yankees
in his half dozen seasons during
which he has lost little Of his
speed and absolutely none Of his
mental alertneSs.
