4 With more problems to wrestle
with than Congressman, the
minor league magnates and
managers began gathering tonight for
cne Of the most important minor league
conventions in base balls history
The convention tomorrow is of such
momentous Importance that practically
every major league club will have at
least one representative on hand. They
feel that the condition of the minors
is just as much their problem as it
is of the smaller leagues themselves,
since the health Of the American and
National circuits depend on the well
fare of the minors And. right now,
the condition Of the minors is at
low ebb.
A committee Of five has been work.
ing feverishly to attempt to iron out
the difficulties of the minor loops and
number of recommendations have
been placed before the magnates.
Chief of these is one fixing a SAL
airy and player limit for all leagues,
which the American Association has al
ready adopted.
The American Association is con-
fronted with the problem of what to
do with the Toledo franchise. Once
one Of the best minor league cities IN
the country, Toledo is now without
an owner. Cleveland tried It last sea-
son, but Tribe officials couldn't figure
how they could make any money with
the Mudhens, so they decided to aban-

A L HOUGHTON Of Kenwood, a
~ charter member of the newly
formed Tournament Golfers

n formed Tournament Golfers
Association, which came into
being last week at Miami, tells the in
side story of the organization among
the touring pros. There is no inten-
ton, Houghton says, to secede or pull
away from the Professional Golfers
Association. but it Is the intention of
the pros who formed the new organiza-
ton to seek more big money affairs, in
which their members will be able to
play
Houghton and 20 other pros includ-
ing Hagen, Armour, Farrell, Sarazen
and others of the top liners, put $50
each into a pot, which will be used
to promote bigger and better open
tournaments. They were represented
at the Miami meeting as being dis
satisfied with the present policy Of the
P. g. A. in promoting tournaments,
claiming that the parent body has been
lax in its promotional activities and
has not given the touring pros as much
attention as they thought they should
get.
Robert E. Harlow the breezy gent
who has been Walter Hagen's manager
for many years, is the "go-getter" of
the new group. Harlow was manager
OF the p. q. A. tournament Bureau
until last June, when he was sup
planted by Francis j. Powers, a Chicago
newspaper man.
Headquarters for the new associa-
ton will be in st. Petersburg during
the Winter From that town Harlow
will attempt to promote more tourna-
ments, and the lineup at present is
that the big shots Of the playing game
must go to these tournaments and play
if Harlow guarantees their appearance.
Most of them do not plan to go to the
Pacific Coast this Winter because of
the curtailed money in the tourna-
ments there, Houghton says, but will
remain in Florida to play in the
tournaments in that State and events
along the Gulf Coast, preceding the
opening Of the Florida season in
February.
AL asserts that the international
four-ball tournament at Miami is a
fixture, for March, and that he will
play in it, probably with Henry Picard
Of South Carolina as a partner. This
event has been one of the outstanding
Winter Journeys for several seasons.

Former President Opposes
War Debt Cancellation

NEW YORK, June 10 G.N.SO.
Former President Calvin Coolidge
is still unqualifiedly opposed to
the cancellation of war debts
owed the United States by various
European nations.
America was not the benefi-
ciary of the great war, but the
innocent victim of a war made
by other nations" Coolidge de-
clares in an article in the cur
rent Cosmopolitan Magazine, on
the stands today. He says:
II know we are not trying
to Over-reach anybody. Nor try
ing to drive a hard bargain.
The money we furnished we
had to borrow. Some one must
pay it. 1t can not be cancelled.
IF we do not collect it from
Europe we must collect it from
our own citizens"
Coolidge. defending the settle.

GOV. ROOSEVELT
SEEKS HELP IN
WALKER CASE

ALBANY. N. Y, June 10
GN.SO.-Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt will seek the advice of two
eminent" lawyers in acting on
the removal charges filed against
Mayor James j. Walker by Sam
uel Seabury.
The two attorneys, whose
identity may not be disclosed by
the governor until early next
week, will serve as assistant
counsel to the executive while
the Walker case is before him.
Their first job, according to the
governor. will be to read the
1000 pages of Walkers testimony
before the Hofstadter committee.
The governor has not had
lawyer as counsel since Samuel
1. Rosenman resigned in April to
go on the supreme court bench.
Miss Irene McKenna, for many
years a clerk in the executive
offices, has been acting as
counsel to the governor for the
last six weeks.
Roosevelt made it plain that
he intends to act on the Walker
charges as speedily" as possible
but that nothing will be done
until he has read every word of
the testimony. This may take
him 10 days or possibly longer.

Delegates in Quandary
Maybe you think that didn't
make the platform-builders squirm.
Delegates-all instructed-will
have to write home to the folks
about that.
Boys and girls, the life Of a
delegate to these conventions
won't be worth living.
If this was the old days, a
Mark Hanna or a Tom Taggart
or a Boise PenroSe might have
stepped in and smoothed things
out. But those big leaders are
all gone, and we'll have the fun
of watching the little bosses and
the delegates themselves all
sticking their fingers in this hot
pie.
There1l be plenty to disturb
lot of voters who are used to
taking anything they get in the
way of candidate promises.
You know, the fellow who
didn't have his mind made up
about which candidate he wanted
back when delegates we're being
hand-picked hasn't much kick
coming if he doesn't like the
presidential candidate and his
platform.
100000 Job Seekers
But there are the job holders,
too. They'll be worried until the
last train leaves Chicago after the
second convention.
Why, I learned in Washington
that 100000 persons look to the
President for jobs. That makes
more than million who'll have
their hearts-and their pocket
bookS-touched by the things
we're going to see there on the
shores of Lake Michigan.
So hurry aboard, boys and girls.
Ringside seats are waiting there
in the stadium-the place where
the prize fighters dance around
under the floodlights and batter
each other.
What are a couple of prize
fighters compared to this bout
where nearly 2,200 delegates will
mix it up for the biggest prize in
the United States?
Anyway, there's one good thing
about political conventions.
You can take your coat off
without being accused of wanting
to fight.
